Moved: Editing UNIT.BIN

[Kenshin72]

I'll try, just answering some messages on my PS3 real quick like

[Vanya]

Cool. I really hope it works.

[Kenshin72]

I just replaced the Chp 1 ramza face with the Chp 4 Ramza face and ALL my faces just got bojangled. I'm going to try to just use SNESPal to alter some colors. But I'm going to shower first, I'll be back!

[Vanya]

ShIshi probably can't read all the data properly or reinsert it. So close...

[Kenshin72]

It inserted it, the face was there just all the colors on all faces were garbled.

EDIT: None of the faces in battle were bojangled but my ramza still had his Chp 1 Face.

The plot thickens...

EDIT: I'm going to throw in my three cents here. Rip it apart if you wish.

It is 100% proved the menu and formation sprites are held in the UNIT.BIN file.

It is 100% proved the menu and formation faces are held in the WLDFACE.bin.

The battle sprites are in the battle folder.

MY logic is the face in the Battle folder (example BARUNA.SPR has gaffy's face) so it displays the gaffy face but when you overwrite it should replace the face. But it doesn't. I am leaning towards something in the battle folder controls the battle faces.

Thats my three cents.

EDIT: I'm sorry I keep adding stuff to this but either I was retarded or something change. I replaced BARUNA.spr with a Teta sprite and the face was Teta! I don't know if it was always like that or I just never noticed! Rejoice!

[Zozma]

well heres how it is with battle portraits...
technically they ARE part of the battle sprite itself. so if you were to totally paste a different image over gaffys in the battle sprite then thats what youll see....

there are only certain exceptions (example miluda battle, her portrait is an overwrite of the generic female knight)

[Kenshin72]

*sigh*
No matter how hard I try, I cannot get the sprite I pasted over rafa to have the correct colors.
I'm really sure rafa's numbers in SNESpal are 00F1C0. No matter how much I change colors she always takes on Gaffy's colors which is the sprite before her.

Any fix?

[Zozma]

hmm there are 2 rafa's............ so there are probably 2 identical rafa color palettes even if they share the same unit.bin sprite

[Kenshin72]

If thats true why is it taking on Gaffy's?
Hmm...

[Zozma]

thats the strangest thing, to be honest i have absolutely no idea

[Kenshin72]

Ha, I guess I got to keep trying.
There is the chance I'm off one palette right?

[Zozma]

yea but i just cant figure out how you couldve thrown it off by one palette... plus if thats the case wouldnt some of the other sprites be off by one as well? so weird... it wasnt malak that was next to gaffy? hmmm

i know you were playing with the "baruna" sprite..... right? but you inserted it over rafa? or what? because baruna is gafgarion......

[Kenshin72]

I took your Misty & Jenna sprites, inseted Jenna over BARUNA/Gaffy.
She's great.
Took Misty over RAFA and she has all of Jenna's colors.

[LastingDawn]

Out of curiousity Kenshin, is that the guest Gaffgarion?

[Zozma]

ohhh! wait a minute... are u using the psp version??

that would certainly explain this if so... if not then i am at a loss.

[Kenshin72]

Lastingdawn, I think so.

Zozma, now I got the RAFA replacement working but not the BARUNA replacement is taking the RAFA colors. Yes I'm on the PSP.

Looks at sig...

[Zozma]

ewps lol.... well i guess palettes work differently on the psp version they probably changed something to save space...

[Kenshin72]

I do not know how I pulled this off. There using the same palette. So I need to split them somehow. I changed the Gaffy to white and they are both using RAFA's.

[Zozma]

is there anyone else you can use? i don't think there are very many spare sprites on the psp version.....

[Kenshin72]

I am re-doing it. I messed up somewhere, this time I'm only going to one at a time instead of both.
