Modding SF4 for PC (No DLC Unlocks!)

[SeedyROM]

Tool for modifying model/object States from Stage or Character files

Brilliant, thanks for making this public!

Brilliant, thanks for making this public!

It was my intention to make a public tool from the start :wgrin:
I’ll do my best to create more/other tools for SF4.

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.

Don’t edit it as a DDS in PS. Save it as a PSD then edit it then save as DDS.

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.

Thanks SeedyROM, I’ll see if anyone else sends it to me. If not I’ll contact you tomorrow.

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 :

here is the file :

http://filebeam.com/8ececc76f2d84a8f966b5e6e21008164

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!

This is a great News, maybe the most important news in modding in SFIV, BYE BYE INDESCRUCTIBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Thank you so much, I will not have any more this **shit **which will pollute my ears.

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.

Thank you very much for the kind reply. I came to that conclusion when I played with it, it was obvious once I realize the file to edit was the .dat file extracted from the .cos.emz file.

I really liked and wanted the black bikini skin the Chinese guys made for Cammy, but it was unusable as it was a .tpf file requiring the use of texmod and a hacked .exe. So I edited the red one to make it black. I removed the thin string on the chest(which I hated), and softened up her abs and thigh which I thought were just too muscular/cut to be cute/sexy on Cammy without her leotard covering over it.

Screenshots.

Here’s how she looks without her beret and also minus the triangle piece on the chest.

Here’s the download if anyone’s interested. I also included the cap-less costume file for anyone who might want it. Download link

Much better IMHO…you think you could switch the Hollywood Hogan Zangief from color 2, to color 9 for me? (and maybe fix his right eye)

I love the black bikini Cammy.

wildmonkey where did u get that orange akuma?

[InexplicableXiu]

I was thinking, do you reckon its possible to make a model viewer ?
There was one for World of Warcraft were you could export all of the 3D models and their animations, its used to check out the look of new armour and clothes, also used to make story themed video’s.

This would be amazing for SFIV, entire films could be made using it.

Slot 9 Hogan is up. Enjoy.

wildmonkey where did u get that orange akuma?

It’s the same Goku/Saiyan one you’ve seen, I think it’s also on the first page. But I thought a single orange color for EVERYTHING was way too bland so I changed the colors on the rope parts. I also changed his eyes to green to match the Saiyan theme. I’ve just been messing around with a lot of skins, downloaded ones and also from scratch. Modding the mods, if you will.

I can upload it if you want, I think it’s by those “Chinese guys” so it should be fine. Same reason I uploaded the Cammy one without asking, since the original “author” seem to be nameless Chinese haxxorz.

I’ve run into a strange problem. I went to edit some Cammy files, something simple just to change the color number for the 2 skin to the 5 skin. And the code for the skin isn’t the same as before. I can’t even find the lines im supposed to edit.

Anyone have this problem?

ATi Title Logo

I think it’s kinda odd to see nVidia’s logo when starting the game since my video card is Radeon.

Decided to change it to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ATI_Radeon_logo.svg
Get it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XDVHV0ET.
Extract the archive and place the (ironically named) nvidia_1280x720.emz file in directory \Street Fighter IV\Game\Logo, but first backing up the original file.
I hope you like it. And thanks to all modders. Keep this thread alive.

Quick question regarding color editing:

How do I remove the symbols from Dan’s back/front (see pics)?

Also, in changing the music for intros/menus, is the method for creating the music files the same as the stages, or is it unnecessary to pack 6 .adx tracks?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for slot 9 Hogan.
WildMonkey is awesome.

I’m curious to know if anyone has found how or where the text stuff is stored.

Primarily, I’m talking about the win quotes and subtitles. One can only imagine the hilarity that would ensue if we found those.

Note to self: find those things.

Seconded. I’m also looking for how to extract text script (I mean winning quotes, prologue and ending subtitles…). I believe they are stored in folders such as: CAPCOM\STREETFIGHTERIV\Game\Prologue\Subtitle\ENG

I tried to uncompress the file with offzip and the command: offzip.exe -m 16 -a -z -15 RYU.emz TEST 0

However it doesn’t work, I only get ‘RAW’ data, no ASCII text.
Has anyone succeeded in this before?

[Fome]

Has anyone figured out how alpha layers behave? How come it sometimes turns things transparent and sometimes doesn’t? For example, I can use alpha layers to make Chun Li’s sleeves transparent, but this doesn’t work when I try it with her leg curtains.

[System_1]

Yes, I know how it works after studying some Chinese article that Providenceangle posted.
The COL files also contain information about a texture, like if it should use an alpha channel or not.

I’m gonna try something on that “curtain” in just a minute, would be cool if it works.
