Tech Talk

Well Goshanes is THE man, he made the csb packers and without him it would be impossible to replace the music in street fighter 4.

So, without further wait, here is the new and improve title song… this is what is should of been from the start!!

Here is a sample :

Installation : Just go in street fighter 4 dir, go into the game and sound dirs
backup BGM_MAIN_OM.csb and replace it with the new one from my rar.

thats it!

Enjoy :)!

Edit: Might want to redownmload, included a higher quality version of the song!

Only thing i hate is the version I have for it has a slight background hiss… will have to fix it before I release it.

Pink’ed out Hair, neckerchief, pants.
Darken’ed off the black trim as it was more gray than black.

What ya think ?

Any plans to release that amazing Sakura skin sometime in the future?:lovin:

Wonderful work. One thing I found a little jarring was the transitions between the standard loop and the more intense loop. Did the default tracks also shift pitch when someone was low health? If they did, I don’t think I ever noticed.

405

No, but in the future I might feel like explaining exactly how to do it.
It’s not that hard, really :confused:

406

Could Mr. Benjamin convince you otherwise?:wink:

407

Is it possible to edit utf files yet?

I’m patiently waiting for the ability to edit the announcer files, and point the proper sounds to blank, so that it still leaves a fully working, yet no longer annoying announcer, without disabling random sounds, and without compromising certain aspects of the announcer.

408

hey man , is there anywhere or any one who has done some custom stages?
i notice your training stage looks great.

409

The training stages has boxes on the floor for a reason…

Hi, forum newbie here. Popping my cherry with this post!

I wish to express my most sincere gratitude and genuine appreciation toward everyone here with all of your great contributions. Really, REALLY, awesome work. Thank you, thank you, and endlessly more thank-yous. No, seriously, BIG thanks.

Lately, I’ve been having an absolute BLAST! modding/skinning SF4. It’s kinda hard to say exactly why, but fooling around with SF4 is sooooooo much more fun than modding other games. It’s just too much fun. However, I do have some questions. Anyone willing to kindly extend some help my way would be greatly appreciated.

When you disable(invisible-ize) parts of a character’s costume, does that effect the entire "costume, " as opposed to “color?” Meaning, if you take off Ken’s shirt(nevermind the hole in the back, just an example), does that apply the effect to all 10 color slots?

If in fact the invisibility/disabling effect is costume-wide and not just per color slot, then does anyone know how I can enable a second costume slot? I want to make it perfectly clear right here right now that I am not interested in the Capcom made alternate costumes AT ALL. Not in the slightest, not even for free. I want all my costume and color slots for fan-made and self-made mods only. If someone knows how, please shed some light, thanks.

If what I asked for is essentially the same thing as asking for DLC unlock, then please kindly point it out and forgive my ignorance. Also, if the invisibility effect is only per color slot(kinda doubt it though), then please forget everything I said.

Thanks in advance for any help and replies. But remember, this is my first post. Please be gentle with me and start off slow.

can someone pretty plz post screenshots/gifs/ or video of naked mods? Zip them in a file or something? I can’t find any pics on the webs.

PS- I’m not quite sure how to apply mods. I’m only asking for visuals of the mods, but if someone wants to send the actual mods with a bit of instructions that would be cool too.

412

We don’t have links to the naked ones but the SF4 PC Skin Thread has instructions on applying them here:

It’d be nice…at least for Cammy and Chun Li anyway.

Everyone else it’s like…bleh.

414

I know this will make me look moronic, but I accidentally corrupted my Chun Li costume 1 color 2 file AND managed to delete the backup in a file mixup…

Would anyone be so kind as to donate me a fresh copy? It should be only around 800 kb…I’d be extremely grateful.

415

This is correct, when you disable parts of character’s costume, it affects all 10 colors as they share the same costume file.

I was looking too for a way to create custom costume slot, but my knowledge is very limited, is it possible or not, I can’t tell.

416

I’m wondering if ProvidenceAngel or someone could help me with this issue when I try to change the color of Chun Li’s eyes. In addition to the color change, I get what looks like black eyeliner all around her eyes, although I definite don’t see this in the dds files. Any idea what’s going on?

417

Angle ANGLE!!! lol Um how did you edit the file?Did you change the COS file? Did you edit the alpha channel. Did you edit in PS?

I did not edit the cos file. I simply opened the dds file containing the head with photoshop (with the nvidia plugin), selected the eye with a circular marqee, and recolored it using levels.

Now I have a new problem…whenever I save it, it turns random regions of the image black. Am I using incorrect save settings? Right not its on DXT1, ARGB, 4 bpp, 1 bit alpha.

Edit: it appears that the regions that turn black are where the alpha channels are. It’s strange, because even if I do nothing to the image, all the alpha channel regions become black if I save the file.

Edit2: Ok, I’ve figured it out. I was saving as DXT1, when it needed to be DXT5 in order for the transparencies to show properly. Now it works as expected.

PM me if you don’t get them by tomorrow and when I get in front of my normal PC, I’ll see what I can do.
