A true Final Fantasy VIII editor based on Qhimm's source.
Garden is indeed a true Final Fantasy VIII editor. Using my pre-alpha version, I have been able to hack several scenes in FF8.
Examples:

![[2]](http://www.qhimm.com/shots/garden_game2.jpg "Ugh…")
After a lot of pressure (I receive 10 requests per week about this), I've decided to release this program, however only the source code. I hope that someone can continue my work and realize true FF8 editing.
The program currently supports decompiling the data files, editing game text data and re-compiling the data files again. The decompiled data files require about 1200 MB of disk space, and you will need to have a full FF8 install (all data files on disk).
- The re-compiled data files are not as effectively compressed as the original files, meaning FF8 will suffer a certain speed loss.
- LOTS more.
This is currently only a mirror. I plan to work on this when I can. It doesn't compile without Visual Studio 6 (which I do not have). Even with a Makefile, it won't compile without a proper code cleanup (and because I reorganized the source files' locations).
Anyone is welcome to contribute!
