[ FF8 ] FMV filenames

[AxlRose-RX]

Describe the bug

Using FFNx on both PC2000 and Steam 2013 with enable_ffmpeg_videos = 1 the file names between the two are completely different and not compatible between each other. This means for a huge file size mod of FMVs, I have to pack twice, one for PC2000 and one for the Steam 2013 where every FMV file name is different between the two, with the exception of disc04_00h.avi that is taken and used by FFNx on both game versions (doesn't make sense and leads me to think there might be a bug/typo on the code for the rest of the FMVs)

So far it looks like this:

On PC2000 | Steam 2013
disc-1_00h.avi | disc00_00h.avi

While (here this FMV has the same file name on both):

On PC2000 | Steam 2013
disc04_00h.avi | disc04_00h.avi

On PC2000 with default enable_ffmpeg_videos = -1 on the FFNx.toml, the game reads the FMVs from CD's .pak file disk1.pak, disk2.pak, disk3.pak and disk4.pak and ignores the install folder\Data\movies

What is the correct path/file_name the PC2000 calls the movies from? I never figured out as different tools give you the option to extract with whatever name you want (but with FFNx log I can track the file and looks like disc-1_00h.avi):

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

On the Steam 2013 version, with FFNx, with default enable_ffmpeg_videos = -1 or enable_ffmpeg_videos = 1 the game fails to use the FMVs with the file name 'disc-1_00h.avi' (PC2000 file names)

On the PC 2000 version, with FFNx, with enable_ffmpeg_videos = 1 the game fails to use the FMVs with the file name 'disc00_00h.avi' (Steam file names) with the exception of disc04_00h.avi

Expected behavior

• Would be nice to have a file name for the FMVs that works across both versions of the game with enable_ffmpeg_videos = 1
• And a install folder\direct\movies or install folder\mods\movies so I can avoid overriding people's OG FMVs during testing

GPU (please complete the following information):

• NVidia RTX 4070 Ti
• Driver Version 1.20.0.3

Additional context

I forgot to mention that:

https://ff7-mods.github.io/ff7-flat-wiki/FF8/FileFormat_PAK.html

lists the FMV file names for the PC2000 inside the .pak files, the same as the Steam 2013 file names for the h (high res I think it means)

I think this issue was fixed before, but the fix works only for the Steam version. I can make a Pull Request with the proper fix

[julianxhokaxhiu]

If you know already what to fix I'd appreciate that. Otherwise I can try to unpack this one and see what I find. Let me know, thank you

And it's done!

@AxlRose-RX for the second request, you can make use of the override_path which was made to fill exactly that gap. Feel free to test it.

@AxlRose-RX for the second request, you can make use of the override_path which was made to fill exactly that gap. Feel free to test it.

The first request, worked, FMVs are loading now with the right names on PC2000

override_path = "axl"
doesn't work on PC2000

added a folder:
C:\Square\FF8\axl\movies

and at the same time:
C:\Square\FF8\axl\Data\movies
