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

hmm, people like me need an FAQ. I’m pretty computer litterate so if someone can explain it w\in a few sentences, I should get the jist of it and figure out the rest.

The copy and paste to text function will work nicely for this. Do you want the pics included with the palletes?

If you want to you can, or I can just type in the new numbers and take a screen shot. Either is fine with me!

All you have to do is copy the text and click paste in the program and youll get the colors.

this looks great everyone. i’ll be looking into this later when i get back to SD

yeah ill try and send ya all my edits… i have edited every single char on here
and a couple like 2 or 3 times

Once you start messing around with it, it’s pretty easy to produce some decent new palettes.

The copy and paste function is a life saver, really great little program.

If anyone isn’t writing a tutorial for this, I can make a quick, simple video or something (Maybe just text with pictures, etc.) tomorrow when I don’t have company over, just to get things moving. (Just for the basics anyways, I don’t know how to change Tron’s outfit, or Sent’s beam or anything like that yet.)

EDIT: I have a couple questions. I’ve figured out how to find the correct palette for, say, changing Guile’s sonic boom. However, there are other palettes that I, for the life of me, can’t find their purpose. (Specifically 03, 07, and 08; 02 is his Sonic Boom for his jab color.)

Nice finding mates! Any way for making this also for PS2? files are inse this .AFS file…Any way for uncompressing those , hacking colors, then repacking again in a safe way?

this is gonna be bigger than the human genome project:wonder:

This is awesome. I’ll dedicate some space on my site for this & data references & probably even character color data files, since I can’t imagine any vendor would care about that… ?

Thanks for this great stuff. :tup:

is that suposed to be marvel in Africa?!?!?!?!? lol thats funny.

How should we go about posting new palettes? My friend asked me to make an A2 Cyclops colored Magneto and I feel like sharing.

this is some hot shit, anyone scared that researchers will dig deep and deeper and eventually find the files for damage scaleling and shit and then we would have an influx of cheats and shit, or is changing colors totally different then changing damage induced per move and shit like that

Tried it and works like a charm for DC! Seems really easy to work, but there’re still some stuff that I can’t do right.

When you change some pals for just choosing chars everything is ok, but take this example: Whenever I change one of Cyclops’ pallete, his effects pallete are still the same he used to have before, like, changing his LP color to red and then throwing a HK twice, you still can see blue effects of his kicks there, Also when I perform Hypers. I can see further in his palletes that he has extra colors for that pal used for his LP color, but they look weird an stuff and I can’t recognize for what are those :confused:

How can I be sure to get those effects right and also using the same colors I changed and plan to use?

Any ideas for PS2 MvC2 and this?

If anyone has the MvC2 files for PS2 give SuupaBoo’s tool a try. If the player.dat files are located in an AFS file, extract all the files then perform your color edits. Once your color edits are done then Re-pack the AFS file with DKZ Stiduo.

OK i had that problem too…
what you have to do is pretty much start with the default color and go through the palettes and find all the similar colors… like with cyclops it would be his LP color but have a slight red to it when he does his optic blast, and just mark all the palettes for the LP color, then add the same hue or whatever to the other palettes, but make sure to keep the change on those palettes the same, or it wont look right.

I am in the process of identifing the different palletes for the chars, like doom has 2 for 1 color, storm has like 9 for 1 color, and same for shuma. Silver Sam and Iceman, it seems a little too much work for those seeing as we cant see them. i will find out the exact palette names for each individual color… gonna take a little while but it will be worth it.

ill try and put out a video of my progress with the colors… and show my work on the more difficult color palettes (ie. storm, shuma, silver sam, iceman, colossus, zangief) This has been a huge project for the past 3 days
had a tournament at my friends house, showed off my progress and my friends were going crazy, said its like playing a new game. asked each and everyone there dream team colors and i made it for them on the spot, then made the image and showed it in game… still tweaking alot of chars palettes.

Thank you SuupaBuu!!!

ok all i have spend hour upon hour on this project and have some promising stuff…
megaman is undoubtedly the hardest/longest palette, 160 palettes all together thats about 25 palettes per color… it took me long enough for shuma, colossus, and storm,
shuma still has about 4 more palettes that i need to edit for when he does the chaos dimention, and storm has about 3 palettes when she does lightning storm, i beleive colossus is good, but i havent had the time to check all my palettes against the different effects, lightning, fire, etc…

well here is my progress so far
Current Album
i have a little bit more of a surprise to show you but not just yet, i still need about a day
something you will all enjoy, i know im gonna have my work cut out for me the next few weeks, with editing for my friends, and requests on here
yes ill will take requests but just know that chars with constant palette changing will require alot more time (Storm, colossus, cyclops, iceman, silver sam, megaman shuma, spiral, jin, and zangief)

im also working on a video that will display those chars in there constant palette changes and how it looks

once i have the fine tuning down i will post the specific palettes for each color, and what shades/effects/glows they are for

if anyone would like to help, just PM me

that Bloodred Storm in your photobucket album looks cool.

Thank you. :cool:

I tried but it’s just like 3rd Strike. The data is there but it’s hard to decipher (for me atleast). I scrambled some data in ryu’s file and shit happened like he gets hit by everything cause his clsn box is too big.

Damn Big3D! It looks like you’re working hard on this. Good work and nice colors!

I am really brainstorming on how I can get the multiple palette problem done automatically. If you can, or if anyone can, please pm/aim me what palettes are for what primary color? It would help out a ton. Thanks!

it would be cool to change the stages.
