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

Thanks for the advice.

What exactly do you suggest?

LP color = hail color?

  • Geronimo

Not exactly, the (1B) Extra has the color code for hail, it’s also an extra palette for LP color, so I’d suggest to just move the blue Storm to LP and green to HP.

EXACTLY!!! i was having green slime until eidrian “CRACKED” the hail code :bgrin: big props to that nigga!

ok i am working on blackheart extra palettes that control his FP n HK demons, and his ice pillar move (half circle back with lk or hk). has anyone found them or up to it? eidrian? thanks again to all

ummm i have a problem… i got the disjuggler thing… i set it to mode 2 and cdxa… it burned properly but when i put it in the dreamcast it loaded into the music browser part… when i tried to click game or watever it said please insert game cd or something like… any insite? please thanks

Anyone figure out how to edit effects such as Sentinel’s mouth beams?

ok check it, every time I burn a self boot copy, adx’s 04-06 don’t work ever. They either freeze up the screen before the round starts or reset the DC. I’ve always had this particular problem for a while and I’m wondering if its because I’m using a bad mvc2.iso.

I make all my customs from a custom non selfboot a friend of mine gave me over a year ago. I do all the edits properly and even go as far as to change the music on the stages that don’t work properly. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn’t and i’m honestly quite puzzled on why I have this problem.

I used to think that it was a bad mp3 file i’m converting into a .wav and the DC just doesn’t want to deal w\it but I try multiple songs and its always just those stages.

help?

All that stuff you want to edit like Blackheart’s demons and Sentinel’s hp are shared palettes, just like Storm’s hail. If you edit it, you edit it for all buttons, plus they have certain added effects, just like Storm, they are multiple palettes for each one of them. It doesn’t seem like it, but finding the extras for everyone has taught me this game is a REAL mess, and I mean it. I’d strongly recommend not to edit super effects or special effects until PalMod has official preview support for them.

But that’s just me, you can always do as you please. =P

Oh, and Geronimo needs to answer my AIM msg’s. I’m Skychariot there. =]

Edit: I will (hopefully soon) put up a checklist, so you’ll know exactly what to edit for those special character so they look correct. There aren’t that many though, it’s like 15% of the whole cast actually.

Um ok guys this is exactly where im stuck…http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/Ix314xI/bin2boot.jpg

can someone help me out plz

You prolly don’t have an IP.bin in your data directory.

Get an Ip.Bin here (right click > Save as) and put it in the same directory as bin2boot.

Then retry.

Link doesn’t work.

It won’t work if you click it. You need to rightclick it.

oh oops my bad :sweat:. I guess i should really take the time to read people’s posts next time :razzy:

Half way done with the color edits.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks

never mind.

???

yes this game seems rushed, and it even loks as though they had plans for more moves or something for the other chars but they just stopped at one point and finished what they had. I mean there are just waaaaay to many unused extras, and the way some of them are scrambled around, Eidrian and Magnetro know what im talking about

the best advice is what eidrian said, its been a big huge headache for me at times doing this editing, and i know eidrian took it quite a bit further than me, but i thank him for doing so.

just stick with the immediate color editing for now, dont worry about anything else, because you will be tempted to make soime other chantges, and then yu will be pissed off cause its not how you like and you cant remember how it was, and just a big ol mess.
take advice from the guys doing the really in depth editing

i totally understand its a pain in the butt finding these extra palettes, but so far i have pretty much narrrowed it down to the 2 palettes responsible for blackhearts demons, also changed cable HVP, VP, skimitar, magneto’s FP, HK, n projectile effects, guile’s razor kick, sonic boom, capcom assist. and let me tell ya i have wasted about 20 cds just “brute forcing” shitt as Preppy calls it :sweat: its been some work i tell ya but enjoyable i guess to some degree.

i can imagine its gonna be some time (6months to a year) before that " palmod w/preview support will come out but in the meantime i think thats prolly it as it is very very time consuming and i don’t even have chankast or nulldc to ease things

Is there a way to preview all six palettes of a character at once?

Or at least take a screen shot of all of them at the same time?

I’m getting tired of [print screen -> paste -> move preview window]xN.

open up 6 pal mods, one per character color. Its ghetto but it could work.

we need like a single site dedicated to the color edits and have all of these instant colors available with screen shots of the colors. That way, instead of doin them by hand, its a cut and paste job for the most part. People can just browse the character gallery find an color edit they like and cut and paste it into pal mod.

Also, I would like to see a well done color edit BUT also have it so that top tier teams aren’t blended in together. For instance an all red MSP shouldn’t be considered. That way, a custom color copy of marvel is actually worth being played in a tourney or for MM. No one wants that semi invisibile shit going on and fuck the all back shit because that shit is broken as fuck on certain stages.
