Complete "How to Change the Music in MVC2 + How to make your game selfboot" Thread

If anyone is interested, soon you guys can edit colors on characters. I am updating PalMod with support for MVC2.

Don’t know how to post img directly in post. Grrrr annoying.

cool a black Cable, i can finally run an all black team scrub :wgrin:

Well it about damn time. Make sure to hit up Preppy ASAP; he’s had a bounty for being able to do this for a while now.

Oh you’re the guy under a thread I searched on google! I’ll msg him and let him know.

The character list that you had was very handy. I’ll give you credit. =)

Then can you at least settle my curiousity and tell me the files that DID actually have the palette data?

??

DAT files.

I took a look in the S files and they were wayyy too complex to be palettes. Capcom makes things compact; especially MVC2.

Finding the data in the DAT was very simple. Look at the top of the file in a hex editor. Go to 0x08. There’s the pointer (32 bit unsigned int) to the location in the file to the start of the palettes.

:encore: You’re awesome.

damnitdamnitdamnit.

Great find, I feel like a chump for not comparing the .DAT’s to check to see if they had headers in the beginning.

Haha. Well, $50 to the first guy to get me a MvC2 with black Cable and black Magnus, regardless. SuupaBuu claims the bounty anyways. :tup:

EDIT: Red Storm, white Doom, red Cable, white Sentinel, and old school yellow/black Magnus might be cool too, but I’ll pay the $$$ for just black Cable/Magnus. :tup:

you are a god among men when it comes to decyphering shitin games that you can change.

also lol at ethereal dr doom

hahahaha… wow. that’s great! invisible lifebars/meter/timer PLZ!!

Heh, Supabuu’s got the tools. If/when he releases it, let me know if you still havent gotten your copy. I can make a custom TDC Final v2 pretty easy.

wow good stuff :tup:

How do you use a hex editor???

black and pink!!! eek!!!

so what can I do to make sure my custom mvc2 doesn’t take forever to load (and actually once in a while not work?)

Money’s on the table? DAMN

Thanks. I wish I knew a lot about data but once you look and mess with files in sf3/mvc2 (especially palettes) it’s not too complicated.

I don’t blame you. Usually it isn’t stored like that but luckily I caught the scrambled hex values before I started brute forcing everything.

I think that’s out of my league but I’ll give it a shot.

I’m still working on the update guys so I’ll let you know when it’s released.

Ok Im searching thru using this method for cps2, I hope it still applies http://www.cps2evolved.co.nr/

Im not having much luck then again I dont know what Im doing either…

Wow that’s awesome. You gotta post up on how to make custom color characters! Black cable is awesome!

Orange and Blue…Sentinel… There is a heaven.

heh, I think I just figured it out. Gimme a bit to test but the pattern’s in the .DAT are pretty obvious now that I know where to look.

Just so we’re clear, I make the custom colors and sent you the disc, I get paid for making the disc and Supabuu gets paid for finding the locations, right? I’ll make the disc for money, but the finder fee should be all his
