Title: Hex editing!!!
Post by: Verdeni on May 13, 2010, 12:29:30 am
I can't for the life of me figure this out.
Pfft... and I wanna be a game designer.. -_-'

I wanna know how to edit the character poses.
Instead of telling me what to do, would it be possible for someone to give me an EXAMPLE of some kind? <=/

What?  Why would you need to hex edit this?  This is entirely doable with ShiShi and MS Paint/GraphicsGale/Photoshop.  All you do is open ShiShi, export a sprite, and then edit the BMP files manually on Paint/GraphicsGale/Photoshop.

...I was told i had to use ShiShi to import/export SPRs of the edited spritesheet, and then had to manually hex edit the sprites back into the game.

If I wasn't clear enough, I meant the special event poses. :P

Be specific about what you are trying to do Verdeni. There are programs out there that can edit evtchr, which contains all the additional frames for sprites used in events. Then assigning which images are used during an event is a matter of Event Editing. No hex editing required at all. The only animation stuff that would require hex editing would be if you are changing a standard animation, such as an attack or walk animation.

Sorry.

I'm trying to get to know the program better.
I added my ramza1 sprite with the cape,
so now I wanna edit the evtchr poses so he always has sed cape.
I already know how to map out the poses in an event.

Is there really a way other than hex editing to edit the evtchr? D:

I'm using the PSXISO.

Evtchr is an image, you would never use a hex editor. Well I suppose a few of our members use to do that. But there is a japanese program out now that makes editing easy, it is in a thread somewhere or maybe in the downloads page.


A quick site search of "evtchr editor" will give you lots of good results.
