SFxT GAMEPLAY Modding Thread

[d3v]

And by the way, like I said in the first place, you’re a giant hypocrite. So are the SRK mods, for that matter.
You think it’s okay to hack the game and change the mechanics, but it’s NOT okay to hack the game and enable content that was included on the console disc? You’re retarded.

Yes it is.

P.S. Get the fuck out.

[Dantarion]

Its probably not going to be out for a while
I got sidetracked and kinda bored. I am going to finish porting SF4Remix to 360, then ill get back to this when I have free time. Summer School started this week, fuck it

[NewtypeDan]

We all know the joy that classes bring! I hope you remember the many fans of your project when school has ended for you. We will wait for SFxTOno!

[Dr.Grammar]

Dantarion, can you dump the files from the patch that just released? People are saying that there were changes aside from those listed in the patch notes.

[LarsMasters]

Will there be any chance for us to make the gameplay looks like UMvC3, like:
*Capable using OTG for the character’s certain moves
*Super & Double (Chun-Li is mainly Triple) Jump & Air Dash. Also All Normal > Special > Hyper
*Assist moves
*Air Combo (Single & Team) with Air Combo Finisher on H certain characters attacks
*Pandora as X-Factor w/out life limiter

I see. Except Pandora as X-Factor w/out life limiter & Assist Move remains unknown.

& BTW… Where do i find this PandoraPY apps?

[error1]

Dantarion hasn’t released it.

[SUPARNOVAX]

I want to see someone modify the game with just one thing: Slowing grey health acceleration and maybe even just lowering grey health, but that might be too much work.

[hadooooken]

With all the effort you’ve put into trying to get Dantarion to release it, you could’ve found out how to do it yourself.

[robhal]

I hope you able to release the tool too. Thank you.

[hadooooken]

I had no programming or hex knowledge at all when I started modding. Since nobody is doing anything big in terms of figuring out the game right now, why don’t you give it a try and break new ground? Don’t rely on Dantarion to do everything for you. Honestly, you could probably find out a lot of stuff by just checking out his info dumps.

[streetfighterrx]

in the first post do you mean that the tool will convert big endian to little endian?

[Eternal]

Sooooo I guess pandorapy is dead?

[Gurpreet_Singh]

Will you release it or not?Just tell me if you will not release it at all.I will see what to do then.I’ll try to find somebody else who can do so.But it will be very difficult.

[Mr.Martinez]

Is anyone planning on getting data from the upcoming 2013 release? I’ve noticed there still no frame data for any of the DLC characters. It seems project pandora is also far behind.

[Aquashark]

i found a way to skip straight to Title screen when launching the game.
it skips the Autosave warning and all the intro screens (Capcom, Scaleform, Dolby, Criware)

1. open \resource\CMN\boot\game\flow.emz with piecemontee’s SF4 Explorer (so it gets decompressed automatically), then close it
2. open \resource\CMN\boot\game\flow.emz with Notepad++
3. find the line Advertise,Launch,Init,AutoSave,FadeOut_Black,FadeIn_Black,Idle
4. replace **AutoSave **with **Title **on this line: Advertise,Launch,Init,Title,FadeOut_Black,FadeIn_Black,Idle

done!! no more pointless intro screens

the** flow.emz **is a very interesting file. it scripts the menus and the flow inside them, i wonder if new screens could be added to the game

[LarsMasters]

Now the DLC Characters are released & that means the PandoraPY still in progress after SF4Remix Final Release

[hadooooken]

There’s no final release of SF4AERemix yet, and there won’t be for a while

[error1]

I was asked how you get frame data from the information here
http://pandora.dantarion.com/dumps/
figured I’d re post the answer here

hmm looking at his numbers, startup and active is easy enough, but his numbers for recovery and frame advantage is not 100%.

Let’s see from the normal xml, the numers you need are

IASA, End, and all the SpeedCommand and HitboxCommand

then find the corresponding hit effect xml and pull out

Script, AHitstop, VHitstop, and HitStun

IASA= the total number of ticks, unless it is 0, then End is the total number of ticks.

SpeedCommand is where it gets complex, it’s basically a multiplier that determines how fast each frame goes by, hard to describe so I’ll give an example.

Ryu 5mk

<SpeedCommand Offset=“0x9df0L” StartTick=“0x0” EndTick=“0x1” Multiplier=“8.0”/>

<SpeedCommand Offset=“0x9df4L” StartTick=“0x8” EndTick=“0x9” Multiplier=“4.0”/>

<SpeedCommand Offset=“0x9df8L” StartTick=“0xc” EndTick=“0xd” Multiplier=“0.5”/>

<SpeedCommand Offset=“0x9dfcL” StartTick=“0xe” EndTick=“0xf” Multiplier=“1.0”/>

<SpeedCommand Offset=“0x9e00L” StartTick=“0x11” EndTick=“0x12” Multiplier=“2.5”/>

<SpeedCommand Offset=“0x9e04L” StartTick=“0x16” EndTick=“0x17” Multiplier=“3.0”/>

<SpeedCommand Offset=“0x9e08L” StartTick=“0x34” EndTick=“0x35” Multiplier=“1.0”/>

IASA=“0x35”

basically take each start tick, subtract them, then divide by the multiplier, then round up.

your last number should be IASA

range in hex | # of ticks | Speed multiplier | frames

0-8 | 9 | 8 | 1.125

8-c | 4 | 4 | 1

c-e | 2 | .5 | 4

e-11| 3 | 1 | 3

11-16| 5 | 2.5 | 2

16-34| 30 | 3 | 10

34-35| 1 | 1 | 1

so for ryu 5mk the total # of frames are

2+1+4+3+2+10+1= 23

then look at the hitbox

<HitboxCommand Offset=“0x9e40L” StartTick=“0x0” EndTick=“0xf” X=“0.0” Y=“0.699999988079” Width=“2.0” Height=“0.40000000596” _Unk4=“0x19” _Unk5=“0x19” _Unk6=“0x0” ID="-0x1" Properties=“0x0” Type=“PROXIMITY” HitLevel=“MID” Unk11=“0x4” Juggle=“0x0” JuggleAdd=“0x0” _Unk14=“0x0” _Unk15=“0x0” _Unk16=“0x0” _Unk17="-0x1" _Unk18="-0x1" HitEffect=“NONE” _Unk20=“0x0” _Unk21=“0x0” _Unk22=“0.5” _Unk23=“0.5”/>
<HitboxCommand Offset=“0x9e70L” StartTick=“0xc” EndTick=“0xf” X=“0.15000000596” Y=“0.949999988079” Width=“0.449999988079” Height=“0.600000023842” _Unk4=“0x19” _Unk5=“0x19” _Unk6=“0x40” ID="-0x1" Properties=“0x28” Type=“NORMAL” HitLevel=“MID” Unk11=“0x0” Juggle=“0x2” JuggleAdd=“0x1” _Unk14=“0x1” _Unk15=“0x0” _Unk16=“0x0” _Unk17="-0x1" _Unk18="-0x1" HitEffect=“5MK1” _Unk20=“0x11” _Unk21=“0x0” _Unk22=“0.5” _Unk23=“0.5”/>

you can ignore the first one, hitboxes with Type=“PROXIMITY” are the block distance
that gives us
StartTick=“0xc” EndTick="0xf"
so it has one hitbox that starts on tick C and ends on tick f
looking at are speeds above
0-C = 3 frames
and
0-f = 0-e+ (e-f) = 7+1 = 8 frames
so the hitbox starts on frame 3 and ends on frame 8
startup=3
active=5
recovery is easy, it’s
recovery=total-(startup+active-1)
recovery=23-(3+5-1)=16

the trickyest part is figuring out how much hitstun a move causes, and by extension the frame advantage
First make sure AHitstop, VHitstop are the same. They normally will be, if they are you can safely ignore them.

Hitstun for ground attacks is normally
16 for light attacks
20 for medium attacks
24 for heavy attack

If Effect=“HIT” formula for hitstun is
hitstun=hiteffectHitStun+4 + ( VHitstop-AHitstop)

for ryu 5mk1 it’s HIT_MM when they are hit standing or crouching.
5mk1 has a hitstun of="0x10"
10 in hex =16
so it’s 16+4=20

to find the frame advantage it’s
frame advantage= hitstun - (recovery+active-1)
frame advantage=20-(16+5-1)=0

this hitstun calculation method doesn’t seem to work for everything, requires some more testing
the number in the hit effect section is proably some kind of modifier on the total length of the script in the cmn bac, but that still wouldn’t account for everything.
