Changing Color Effects in Melee!

[Tylronyx]

what determines your format?

Does anyone know the offset for pikachu's up b?

 

[BlazzinRoy]

Really nice thread going here, it's amazing what can be seen just by lurking around.

In regards to your Smash Attack aura-charge-changing post, Lanceinthepants, I'm a bit curious... I was messing with offsets to change Smash attack colors, and I remember you saying something about Smash attacks and multiple angles. When you say that, does that mean a character can potentially have more than 3 Smash Attack colors?

For instance, I was browsing Falcon, and I found 5 offsets. Here's what I got:

PlCa
00004a78 -
00004b20 - Forward
00004b9c -
00004c14 - Up
00004d20 - Down

I found his Forward Smash, Up Smash, and Down Smash easy, but the other two... assuming from your guide, would those other 2 offsets be his Forward Smash at upward and downward tilts? I can't test it in Dolphin because I cannot do Forward Smash tilts (only Up and Down smashes come out ]: ).

If that's what you meant, then that makes life a little easier. Really appreciate the guides here, I'm going to have some fun messing with those charge colors. *_*

Thanks for putting up Falcon's smash codes. But have you discovered his aerial move codes? I want to modify those :>

Would anyone happen to have any color effect changes for bowser such as his neutral b?

Here's a blue fire one I had, just change the .txt to .dat and it should import normally.

 

[RushSSBM]

Have people changed hit effects before? Like not just colors

I wonder how cool melee would look if it had like maplestory-like hit animations like in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySKFzPddW60

Can someone please make a pink side B? Please!

Can someone please help me find the offsets to change the 'ready to fight' text and surrounding banner, similar to this image from GTX last weekend.

Any help is appreciated

I believe you need a gecko code, it's not a texture. Search the gecko codes thread

Ahhh, I never saw that, thanks for the help, I'm not very experienced with this stuff outside of the texture editing

No problem dude. We're all learning as we go

 

[BrolyLSSJ]

Haha, I know what you mean. Its not a huge deal, because a big part of the guide was to teach people to find their own offsets. I'm definitely interested in your janky stuff though

I updated the first post and the second post. I added some info about the CF ## format, I made them a little cleaner and added some new offsets. Also, here is a list of what I plan on doing over time (no idea how long it will take with school and life).

Priority List

1. Index all characters above mid tier and the colorful characters (Link, Ness, maybe some others)
2. Find some important indexes for low tiers
3. Work on more in depth stuff (Effects that involve textures and/or lots of color formats, like the Falcon Punch)
4. Start moving away from character colors and index other things (Menu, Maps, etc.)

In Depth Changes Priority

1. Full change of Firefox
2. Changing all the color relating to Player # (Ex. changing P1 colors from red to purple)
3. Changing the colors characters change when they charge a move or that is applied when they do a move (Ex. Mario turns red for alittle bit when using a fireball).
4. Fire Climbers - Changing effects of ICs so it looks like fire and maybe have the fire element too (Roommate request XD)
5. Random *** **** that I think of.

Wow that was a lot of text, here is some goofy stuff I did. I stole the idea from Project M.

Mario's Grab Pummel now has the Coin Element (w/ Sound Effects)

Does anybody have this in any of their setups? It looks really cool and I want it but the link is dead.

You're better off doing it yourself, it's not too difficult. You can use Dat Texture Wizard to extract the PlMr.dat file, use a hex editor to edit the file with the above info, and then use DTW again to put your file back in your game.

 

[xMezzy]

Does anyone in here know why this is happening and how i can change it... Everytime i make falco feathers black when you are in game he has a blueish tint to him. IT is NOT true black. The only exception is on his red color, those tend to be true black for some reason. PLEASE HELP

 

[NS23]

Hey everyone...
I have a huge and annoying favor to ask...
Would anyone be able to compile the following and send it to me?
Falco: Blue Laser, Fox: Green Laser, Fox/Falco: Rainbow Shine, Purple Up-B, Pink Side-B.
This would be greatly appreciated and would complete my ultimate ISO (which I plan on sharing publicly... so long as I can find a legal way to do it)!
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps!!

[SASUKEJULIAN]

Just wondering, is there a way to change the colors of the P1/P2/P3/P4,s in the character selection screen? If so... how? For instance, P1 is Red, P2 is Blue, P3 is Yellow and P4 is Green. If you know how then please let me know.

 

[KegMaster7000x]

Haven't been able to spend as much time on it recently, but here's the effects I found for Bowser. They're for his neutral, side, and up B.

Spoiler: Bowser Documentation

As a note, there's a bunch of CF## effects at the start of the EfKpData.dat file that I have no idea what they are.

The offsets for the neutral B you posted seem to still be unchanged between a vanilla bowser efkpdata.dat and a blue flame modified one.

I found that the offsets that control the color of the neutral B for bowser that were different between the two were offsets 000006c0 all the way to 0000a8bf
I want to change the flame to a hotter volcano red color. (similar to the red from the side-b Slash above).

How do I go about doing this?

@OmnipotentSpoon

 

[UtopiaX]

I don't suppose it would be possible to change the effect colour of say darkness that an attack has on a character. I just think it would be cool if falco's moves made the opponents light up with blue fire rather than just darkness fire or normal fire. thanks.

Where would I find the offsets for Fox & Falco's laser colors? I've given them custom moves I don't want to overwrite, so I need to manually edit them.

Does anyone know the equivalent values of this for the event mode character select? Or even what file the even mode character select is controlled by? I want to edit it now that rollback netplay uses that screen.

I also just updated an application I wrote a year ago, that makes it easier to modify the CSS, to include support for Slippi 2.0 (it can now change the Slippi top and bottom frames of the CSS).

[Placebo Effect]

I need help with a mod to change the hit effects to blood. (edgy I know)
Also if possible to change the death explosions to something else too like a regular explosion or mushroom cloud.

I know how to change the textures, but can't find the offsets or figure out how to do it.
If anyone could help me figure it out that would be great, I'd even be willing to pay if someone would do it for me.

This is the thread I was looking at to change the textures, which is easy enough.

i have a list of ganon offsets i wrote a python script to find the offsets i changed most to blue and now all his b moves are blue, i have no clue what offset effects what, just that the color changes work.

I have a github with page with every single color swap i made for fox/falcos animations ect. : https://github.com/terpyPy/melee-custom-files
If you wanna get started making you own custom colors it also has a program i wrote to expedite the process.

Lately I've been documenting a ton of offsets in EfCoData with the use of scripts, here are my findings: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZP_0i9dy9o5W-lzFwu_CAqc9kttd6-_j3jq0rt1tDls/edit?usp=sharing

I'm dreaming of having all the offsets in this thread be in a single document that could be used by scripts to easily make color effect modpacks, and bypass the tedious practice of manually changing colors at offsets in a hex editor.

I assume you've seen my thread on texture offsets for this file?

Is your script just looking for instances of what might be color formats (hex string patterns), and then you're changing them to see if/what they change in-game? If you want to go further, I would recommend looking into the composition of the file's individual structures, and walking those to find offsets. Here are some resources:

Melee dat format thread
Mario Kart Wiki on DAT files
Structs breakdown by Punkline
HSD Common Objects
DTW Source Code (I recommend looking at the hsdFiles.py and hsdStructures.py files)
HSDRaw Source Code
Structural Analysis tab in DTW

A program with a nice UI to do these sorts of things would be really nice. I've even thought about integrating such a thing into a current project of mine.

yeah my scripts just search using regular expressions and a binary search. It's been easy enough to find any color offset I want, but properly understanding and walking the file structs is def the next step for me. Thanks a ton for the resources, I will be sure to use them.

Is there a way to remove all the blinking effect when a character takes damage

Sad to see that nobody ever searched for sheik's effect, i'd love to add some effect to her fair for exemple, but it's such a chore to go through theses file with HxD :/
