Official Melee Texture Hack Thread

[Saxon116]

The last pixel of the logo gets repeated on all the stage, try to put the border of your logo transparent.

Interesting! I'll Change that.

 

[Saxon116]

Interesting! I'll Change that.

Cool so that worked! Now I just need to change the platform colors but I'm guessing I just need to replace that green texture. I also want to take those grey rectangles outta there

 

[krvntn]

Interesting! I'll Change that.

As a rule of thumb I never put a logo that's bigger than the Pokeball. That should help everyone.

The grey rectangles do not have any textures, my guess is that you would have to search their values with an hex editor.

If I am correct by the way, putting the values needed to change their colors here would always be nice

I'll see if I can figure out that value soon.

Also, could someone clarify this? I'm trying to change the color of the platforms but it isn't as easy as the rest:

There were so many problems with this. It was actually frustrating.
1. The platform texture is transparent, white and grey. intertwined (not on top of) a green and yellow layer.
2. It's an I8 texture ( _1, white and black) not a CMPR (_14, colored).
3. Even when you change it, you mess up the arrows and lines around the Pokeball because they use the white texture as well.

In the stage below, the texture from the main floor is loaded onto the platforms above. This one just happens to be orange because I like orange. Unfortunately you lose those little yellow arrows on the top. I would suggest not messing with the other white texture at all (42 in steelia's pack).

No one knows how to independently change the platform colors on Pokemon.

If you want them to be the same as the ground, then download Jorgasms' orange version and then just modify it from there. The platforms in this one use the same texture as the [default green] ground.

Alright. I've gotten more than enough PMs and questions on this topic so I'm going to end these once and for all. The ultimate goal is editing texture type flags (and in the case texture pointers) so that you can make a black and white texture colored.

Step 1: Find the Location of the Texture

Steelia was kind enough to release those location or you could also do it the old fashion way (with the help of @ DRGN 's awesome tools). The white texture for the platforms (AND THOSE ARROWS AND LINES ON THE BOTTOM!) is located at 0x00046ba0.

Step 2: Find the Texture Pointer(s)

Subtract 0x20 from that offset. If you care why, read the spoiler.

[collapse="Explanation"]
All of the files have a header that is 0x20 long which describes attributes of the file like length etc. The header does not change pointers which are just offsets stored in the file to say where certain things like textures are. Think of it like this. The file is constructed and all pointers are stored. It might look something like this.

0x00 - ABCDEFAB CDEFABCD EFABCDEF ABCDEFAB
0x10 - 00000000 11111111 22222222 44444444
0x20 - 55555555 66666666 77777777 88888888
0x30 - 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000010

At 0x3C, you'll find my arbitrary pointer, 0x10. Now let's add the header.

0x00 - 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
0x00 - 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
0x20 - ABCDEFAB CDEFABCD EFABCDEF ABCDEFAB
0x30 - 00000000 11111111 22222222 44444444
0x40 - 55555555 66666666 77777777 88888888
0x50 - 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000010

Notice that the pointer didn't change but the location of the texture has moved from 0x10 to 0x30. Subtract 0x20 people.

[/collapse]

Search for that new number. In this case, it's 0x00046b80. It should come up in a couple of spots as multiple objects use the same texture. You get 0x000021F0, 0x000022b0, 0x000024F4, and 0x00002618 for results here.

3. The Fun Part

The structure is as follows.

0x00 - 00046B80 - PPPPPPPP - pointer
0x04 - 00400040 - WWWWHHHH - width and height (or vice versa I forget)
0x08 - 00000001 - 000000TT - texture type
0x58 - 00040010 - 00LL0000 - layer flag

In the original file, I just the two platforms textures to match the ground textures.

@ Saxon116


Although I never saw a reason to until now, It's possible to change the platform colors independently. To do this, you'd have to do the following.

1. Change the texture flag from _1 to _14 (_e).
2. Enable texture dumping.
3. Load Pokemon.
4. Look at very messed up texture for the platforms.
5. Follow any of the other copious guides on how to change that messed up texture.

@Everyone
This can be used in very, very creative ways. My favorite of course is this (which someone much more lazy than me should work on!)

Currently, both CSPs and stage select screen icons are both _9 (forgot the name) textures which are twice (almost exactly) as long as _14/CMPR textures. Therefore, if we were to import then textures in as CMPR textures, we could load twice as many and write a gecko code to change the pointer to the image.

In Lehman's terms we go from this...

[collapse="current"]
one _9 texture at 0x44 in MnSlMap.dat
AA AA AA AA
AA AA AA AA

and 0x66
BB BB BB BB
BB BB BB BB

and somewhere in ram
80000044
80000066
[/collapse]

to this..

[collapse="new"]
two _14 textures at 0x44 in MnSlMap.dat
AA AA AA AA
BB BB BB BB

and 0x66
CC CC CC CC
DD DD DD DD

and somewhere in ram
80000044
80000066

and somewhere else
(insert gecko code here)
[/collapse]

 

[Saxon116]

Thanks for your explanations @ Cyjorg ! I'll look into that as soon as a get a good handle on modifying melee's code which I have never done as of now.

@ Siro could you make one for the reduced temple please ?

Copy all the textures from the above file (0x3a060 to the end) and then open the hacked temple DAT and paste at 0x3a060. Done.

Does anyone know the offsets for peach's parasol? (50 & 51 in steelia's packs) I can't find them in texture finder or anywhere on the board.

Great Job! Looove the moon in the background

 

[Kale.]

these are hexadecimal offsets, I need placements :v (and ever if I am wrong, it crashes mah game)



I took a random background from wallhaven and changed its color. Made the gibberish on my own tho.

EDIT: Made a search, found what I needed :v



Thanks to this, I got this result without problems.

Note for myself : GAME - 00076280

This looks unreal! I'm trying to change the Ready? and Go! as well for a university 20XX hack of mine... I'm confused as to if I should put the pngs into both the IfAll.dat and the IfAll.usd or only one (I don't know the difference between the files really). Also, how do I find the names of the images that will allow me to put it in via DATTW (instead of the file name I get from Dolphin ripping)?

Im not krvntn but the .usd is for the english setting and the .dat is for the japanese, so use whichever is appropriate (i assume .usd). Also you shouldn't need any special name for using DTW, it just needs to end in the correct format, in this case _9. Then just give it the offsets and off you go.

 

[CeLL]

We need more esport team textures.

 

[Doq]

I seek the texture offset for the numbers on the HUD (for damage %s). I can probably find these myself but someone could save a bro some trouble, amirite?

 

[krvntn]

ah yes, changing them would be slick

@ Kale. I will suggest you one thing tho, feed DTW .tpl only, I have not succeeded in changing the ready go only with .png

The electric uthrow is actually a really big buff.

 

[SnG | Skin]

The electric uthrow is actually a really big buff.

How so? All I did was change the values for the GFX that comes with uThrow.

Also, even if i were to add an electricity effect, doesn't electric only affect sheildstun? Shouldn't matter on grabs right?

 

[CeLL]

How so? All I did was change the values for the GFX that comes with uThrow.

It has an electric effect now, which means 1.5x hitstun and insane combo ability.

 

[SnG | Skin]

Hm. I didn't think the graphics effect would affect the on hit effect. Thats strange.

I checked the hitbox data for Uthrow and it doesn't have an electric effect on it. I think its just a visual thing but im not sure how to test it. I'll try side by side with 20xx or something.
From my modifed PlPe.dat:
2C 03 20 02 03 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 28 19 02 91 00 00 01 07

 

[DRGN]

Well there are multiple sets of numbers in IfAll.usd. I think it's these ones? You'll just have to try it:

%: 0xB20
"HP": 0x3FC0

0: 0x6A0
1: 0x1740
2: 0x1BC0
3: 0x2040
4: 0x24C0
5: 0x2940
6: 0x2DC0
7: 0x3240
8: 0x36C0
9: 0x3B40

Have at it!

@ Kale. I will suggest you one thing tho, feed DTW .tpl only, I have not succeeded in changing the ready go only with .png

You include the texture type to the end of your filenames, right? (e.g. filename_9.png)

[krvntn]

@ Achilles1515 ooh, ok nice.

@ Fakes That Falco is fresh af, I would've prefered a blue more... Blue, with less green.

Otherwise I'm working on this beast, still on the early works. When I'm finished I'll import the stuff, check it out !

The texture for the "carpet" under the fighters' foots & for the main texture is actually a cover of some album only the truest will recognize it.

I need to change that dark blue patch to something else, I don't know what. Otherwise I'm open to ideas !

 

[DRGN]

Whoa. The contrast is real.

 

[krvntn]

blue, white & black are my guidelines

This stage gives me a strange feeling tho', I can't put my finger on it. I think it's the emptiness of outer space, that feeling that makes you feel alone, small and miserable. Deep stuff.

I mean look at this & think about it.

Besides that I think it's ready to be imported. I just need to get rid of that rod the pak E.Derm has

Took me a solid 60 seconds from the first pic to realize this was yoshis and not an incredibly hacked dreamland, jesus. Looks dope though, i think it could use a little more blue accent somewhere though.

EDIT: Also i set my edited PlPe side by side with an unedited and somehow crazy hand changed a value in the middle of the data from 02 to 12 and that made the throw electric. The value didn't show up in crazy hand anywhere and doesn't follow the format for on-hit effects (00 normal, 04 electric, etc) so i have no clue why or how it happened but its fixed now. Reuploaded and dl link changed.

 

[krvntn]

Started importing the textures into the .dat

So, as I have trouble reading this for the MIP textures, I don't know what to do, this happened. The good textures appear only if you zoom in enough, that's a really weird attribute.

That's not really a simple request. Falco's jacket is actually mirrored so usually designs are symmetrical

You will need GCRebuilder for this.
1) Download his MnSlChr.usd file
2) Using GCR open your 20xx iso
3) Search for MnSlChr.usd in your iso
4) Right click --> import --> select his MnSlChr.usd you downloaded earlier
5) Enjoy

Make sure you use MnSlChr.usd not .dat, usd is english and dat is japanese.
