Summary
Enable override_path option for FF8
Motivation
override_pathoption in FF7 allows modders to put files and LGP archives in another directory than the game data.It is quite useful when a modder want to edits LGP archives without change original files from FF7 installation.
The FF8 version is basically the same thing, but simpler: any file that is opened by the game (for reading or writing) is firstly checked in the
override_path. For example for.\ff8input.cfg, FFNx checks for the existence of.\override\ff8input.cfg, and for.\Data\field.fs, FFNx checks for the existence of.\override\Data\field.fs, and so on.The Steam version of the game try to look to some files like saves in Documents/Square Enix (the user directory), for the lack of simplicity and uniformity between the 2000 and the Steam version, the redirection attempt is made with the 2000 path.
