Version 5.0 Created

Hey there!

Alright, this is big, REALLY big.

The installer has been plagued by file sizes for some time now, and I've been thinking of a way to mitigate the problem. First I've cleaned the packages, to reduce size (One of the packages had duplicated textures inside it). Then, I created a custom way of installing, so that the users could choose which packages they want to install. Lastly, I created a private torrent file for the installer.

None of these adjustments brought the solution I expected. The download size was still indecent, and yesterday I did find the solution.

Behold, version 5.0 of the FF8 Mod Installer! Now with packages being downloaded on demand!

Do you only want to add the original OST mod? Ok!

Do you only want to translate the game to PT-BR? Ok!

Do you only want to update the graphics? Ok!

The installer is now able to download only the packages chosen during installation, which means that the installer size dropped from 5.4 GB to 2 MB. Most packages are now downloaded directly, which alleviates the download issues and allows for true customization (As you will no longer have packages you do not wish to use).

Besides this major change, users will now be able to change Ragnarok colors too! As part of Horizon Pack, there are multicolored textures of the upscaled Ragnarok overworld texture. With this, I truly believe there is nothing more to be done with this installer, I believe version 5 is the final version!

Again, as always, I hope this installer helps any new or old players of the game to enjoy it more.

Have a great day!
