Official Melee Texture Hack Thread

I am not sure where to post this suggestion, but someone should do a Falco skin to make him look like Donald Duck
Also make skins to make Falco look like Fox and vice versa

 

[Chayce]

For a new Marth skin, I'd personally love a Cloud 9 Marth skin over any colour! That would be very cool!

 

[Slyfincleton]

hey sly, what do you think slippy would look like if you had fox's (slippys) helmet red like his hat. Also making his neck the same color as slippy's bottom part of his mouth, similar to your picture you have in ur video?

I'll try that out when i have time!

 

[Snexyy]

rename .usd to .ukd, it's the exact same thing

Ah damn, apparently it doesn't work. It always says that the file is not the exact size.

 

[YvngFlameHoe]

Can anybody help me out, I want to make a space ghost skin for falcon, where do I begin, what do I do?

 

[dexia]

I want to change the pokeball for another logo in pokemon stadium, can someone help me with a dedicated guide?

 

[Doq]

Ah damn, apparently it doesn't work. It always says that the file is not the exact size.

Then the textures need to be ported.

Forum's first page: Guide: How to Hack Any Texture

There are download packs that contain the original textures, as well as text files that give the locations of where the textures are in the game.

As mentioned in the above guide, there's also the thread, Creating Melee Character Textures using the Melee Toolkit! It's Seriously So Easy...., though keep in mind that the program there only works for characters.

Also, as a general resource if you ever want to find things or learn how to do stuff, there's the first post here: Melee, Hacks, and You -- *UPDATED 5/21/2015*

I feel like something's wrong with my copy, with all these .lat/.rat/whatever...

FYI it's a modified version of the BEAST5 Setup.

iirc the extension doesn't matter too much, but i am curious about how this happened

Alright I see, thanks.

But you know, apparently when my setup was used this wednesday for our local weekly, textures started to simply disappear after some matches, I suspected these files to overlap in some way and block the original ones to load, without even touching the L button for alternate costumes.

I got to think about that when captron falcon loaded on the PlCaBu even though I never installed it over the original .dat, and, after looking in the copy's files I found that, in fact, there was a PlCaBu lat/rat with this texture.

Would I be wrong ?

EDIT: On a totally different subject, how are those menu texture coloured ? Dolphin doesn't dump any texture at all... I suppose you've got to do it with hexadecimal thingy ? I also want to make the background blacker, to compensate the new blue, you know.

Yeah it's not a texture. Change the values via hex editor

A few days ago CeLL had the idea to give color to the closed port doors on the CSS.

And it works!

View attachment 51564

So many possibilities. Talk about opening up new doors!


How to do?

There are 8 image headers for this texture (one for each half of each door), located here:

0x0034A114, 0x0034A054, 0x00349E14, 0x00349D54, 0x00349B14, 0x00349A54, 0x00349814, 0x00349754

At each of these offsets, you'll find a header that looks like this: 0002F740008000C800000003

The 3 on the end is the image type. Now, the _5 image type supports both color and transparency, and is the same bytes per pixel as the original _3 type (at least for the total, not for the individual channels). So just replace the 3 in each of those headers with a 5 and replace the texture with an _5 version. Remember to use the same tricks as before with the alpha layer when editing that texture, as mentioned in my guide here. Then just save it as a _5.png, and that's it! Someone still needs to figure out how to move these things though, so we can get rid of that distortion along the middle.


At first we thought about putting the image at the end of the file, redirecting the image headers, and changing the image type (and changing the file size / rebuilding the iso with GCR), which would be nice because we could use a _6 type and get twice the bit depth (better quality image). But for some reason that created some weird effects with the colors for some bizarre reason.

Spoiler: like this

View attachment 51568
Any ideas?

It would be fantastic if I knew what was causing that, because I think I could do more than just get a better quality image.

@ CeLL here's the image I made for the test if you want it:

View attachment 51570

Messing around with this @ DRGN I noticed there is some discoloration on the left side no matter what you do. Here is where I first noticed the issue and I was able to compensate with something like this (don't ask me how I got to that lol it was a lot of fiddling around with levels, color balance, saturation, and lightness). Overall it looks fine, but I'd want to give it the best quality if possible. I haven't been able to recreate anything like that last image as well so that kinda creates problems for future tweaks. I noticed the discoloration slightly on your demonstration as well, or at least that's what it seems like. Any fix for this? Or anything I may be doing wrong?

 

[krvntn]

You rule @ SLUGS

EDIT: Take a look, I really like where my project is going. With dolphin's temporary texture load, I have replaced the melee to something new but i've yet to find the offset, normally, I think it would be inside steelia's texture dump. I'll look around.

Oh and also, still with dolphin's texture load I have made something I think is quite cool : I changed the non legal stages to greyscale & put sepia on hacked stages with a brief explanation when hovering, so players knows what changes are made. @ Achilles1515 you should put this inside 20XX I think that would be a nice addition.

Spoiler: some examples

-> But I need to find the hexadecimal offsets for these two textures, directly changing them on photoshop doesn't work. Something to do with palettes & stuff maybe.

EDIT: Yeah so Steelia's pack doesn't have what I'm looking for, and only has stage icons placement. Stuff like background, lines and cursor are dumped but there isn't any placement offsets, gah

Theoretically, yes, it’s fixable; but in practical terms it would be difficult with today’s texture hacking technology. It's caused by the innate way color values are stored in the _5 type. If a pixel doesn't need the alpha channel, it will divvy up the bits that would have been used for alpha to the other color values in order to increase their color depth and allow them a larger variety of colors. If a pixel uses alpha, its RGB values will use 4 bits each (with a numbering that increases in value by 17; i.e. 1 = 17, 2 = 34, etc., all the way up to a value of 255) , and if it doesn't need the alpha channel, its RGB values will use 5 bits each (meaning a numbering that increases in value by 8). All of the pixels on the lower-left panel have some transparency, while most on the right don't, so you get a slightly different conversion of the color values (from the standard 8 or 16 bits that your original image's pixels would use) between the two halves.

For example, consider the typical scale where you have a max color value of 0xFF, or 255 (your standard 8-bit (1 byte) color depth). Imagine you have a hex color value that’s, say, #0000C2, which gives a blue value of 194. The closest value to that using 4 bits is 1011, which actually equates to 187 (194/17 = 11.41, but decimals can’t be represented with the 4 bits, so it rounds down (at least I assume it wouldn’t round up, which I think would be strange), and 11 x 17 = 187). However, the closest value using 5 bits (better “color fidelity” you could say) is 11000 (194/8 = 24.25, 24 x 8 = 192). So after the two conversions to RGBA/RGB for the two panels, you got 187 and 192 from the same color value.

I believe there are multiple ways this could be fixed, but unfortunately the two best ways are technical & complicated, and would be tedious to do manually (but I can explain them if you want). Doing things programmatically on the other hand makes it totally feasible, and I want to include such tech in my next texture program.

The best thing you could do without doing anything drastic is to use a design with different colors. (Unfortunately, unlike with the two methods mentioned above, you still won’t have exact matches though, unless your colors are white or black, but they could be close.) The closer your color values are to being a multiple of both 17 and 8, the less you would be able to notice a difference in it once it’s placed on both panels. e.g. using a color value of 16, or 120.

"Stage Select" text: 0x6A740

The correct filetype is applied (_0) there's no other color than white... Uh...

Oh also DRGN, what I want to do with the border and stage select (replaced by the stage striking) is change the colors in some way, because they can't load colors when I change the file using cs6, how can I do that ? The first thing that came in my mind was changing the colors with hexadecimal changes but...

Also I'm still missing the round stage presentation on the left, if someone has it...

 

[DRGN]

Did you turn off Dolphin's texture load feature? I'm sure that's the right offset.

And you mean Photoshop CS6? Yeah, those textures don't have color. Not only that but their types don't even support color. It has to be changed like those in the changing color effects thread, but I don't know the offsets for those. If you want to learn how to find the image header and other properties related to the texture, you might be able to find it that way.

Round stage presentation? What's the original texture look like?

That's cool from him. So if anyone ever need it, there it is.

But. As I tried to replace the stage icons, THIS happened.

I've seen the solution somewhere, I'll search for it. So, as you can see (and I am not using dolphin temporary load) I replaced the stage select logo and the two backgrounds. I still need to change the color of the stage select logo, the borders and the cursor with hex stuff but I cannot find anything when I search for hexadecimal values Anutim gave me, dunno why.

EDIT:

Alright so I am still a ****** that cannot use/search hexadecimals hah, I dunno why I couldn't find the values the first time. I got a speed course on how to change colors with the formats on the effects topic and came up with this:

That's cool from him. So if anyone ever need it, there it is.

But. As I tried to replace the stage icons, THIS happened.

I've seen the solution somewhere, I'll search for it. So, as you can see (and I am not using dolphin temporary load) I replaced the stage select logo and the two backgrounds. I still need to change the color of the stage select logo, the borders and the cursor with hex stuff but I cannot find anything when I search for hexadecimal values Anutim gave me, dunno why.

EDIT:

Alright so I am still a ****** that cannot use/search hexadecimals hah, I dunno why I couldn't find the values the first time. I got a speed course on how to change colors with the formats on the effects topic and came up with this:

Solution is a couple posts after.

Is there anywhere to download the original stage and character files from the disc? I'm using an ISO that I started editing several years ago and apparently I overwrote a few textures without copying them, and I no longer have a clean rip of the game.

I am in no way, shape or form trying to promote downloading an ISO off of freeroms dot com but if you would like original stage and character textures, downloading a Melee ISO off of freeroms dot com would probably work.

Are they character or stage textures? You could download steelias original textures and replace the .dat

Uh, well I don't know how to call this, it's the round stage select logo on the bottom left, do you see ?

So, I've asked Anutim about offsets and placement & he gave me quite the stuff :

Yo. Unfortunately I forgot to document some things and haven't really bothered looking them up again but here are some things I have written down and if you're gonna look up the 3D bg start searching from the back of the file, I'm fairly certain it used 808080FF.

Good info.

Guess you've gotta mean this guy?:

It's at 0x38840

And yeah, the stage icons thing, it's an option in the tpl script like the solution in that other thread says. Or you can use DTW and it'll take care of it. You don't even need to convert them to TPLs; just give it PNGs and it'll figure out what conversions to do for you.

 

[krvntn]

That's what I did. I'll check tomorrow.
About the stage select logo, I need the hex offset, not the placement data, assuming that is what you gave me. Oh also, is there a way to import a PNG that will not come up as greyscale ? What I'm looking for is the result on my dolphin texture load screenshot, the second one loads the textures I fed dtw into my file.

 

[The Realest]

@ krvntn if i were you id make the "weird background things" transparent, im sure it would make it look better
all you have to do is change
6D250 – 80 80 80 FF B3 B3 B3 FF FF FF FF FF 3E 99 99 9A 42 48 00
to
6D250 - 00 00 00 FF 00 00 00 FF FF FF FF FF 00 00 00 00 42 48 00

Does anyone know if there is a way to replace a stage with a stage hack that is not meant for it?

 

[CeLL]

Does anyone know if there is a way to replace a stage with a stage hack that is not meant for it?

There are specific functions in the DOL run on specific stages, so doing this just by replacing a file will cause it to crash. You'd have to write a code to switch the filename and stage ID after an icon is picked.

I see. Instead of putting the hack over a different stage, what about the 20XX hacked select screen? Would it be more simple to have the hacked sss redirect to a different file of the same base stage?

Changing the SSS file loaded would only change the icons. You'd still need a function to change the stage names as well.

@ SnG | Skin You should try to increase the central platform of jungle japes, If you know how to.

@ DRGN Tried the png-tpl trick, it worked nice.

Although, now, as I tried to change the hover stage texts, this happened, & the trick above doesn't work ahah, take a look

Makes me think about that stage select logo I need to change.

UPDATE:
Okay so I added some borders on the texts with cs6.

what the ****

EDIT: On a totally different subject, How can I make the announcer say "Rondoudou" (the french name of puff) when selecting Jigglypuff ?

 

[SnG | Skin]

@ SnG | Skin You should try to increase the central platform of jungle japes, If you know how to.

I'm currently working on that, but the notation for stage hacking is really spread out and confusing so im kinda working blind. I was able to move the platforms into the correct place, now i just have to get the collision data right.
