Uuuh...
hot cliff
yeah i can just gimme a second
graceful pawn
I'm intrigued 👀
graceful pawn
OH 
hot cliff
and a pink config screen!
graceful pawn
Lfgo
hot cliff
awesome
graceful pawn
How about going to an mc save??
hot cliff
yeah lemme check that
graceful pawn
Don't know where this function we found is applying
graceful pawn
hot cliff
amazing
hot cliff
crazy right
oh shit wait a second
how do i make this into an inaba exe patch if ghidra doesn't recognize it
graceful pawn
Oh, you can make ghidra recognize it
hot cliff
oh wait how lol
graceful pawn
150d26fe1 right click here
graceful pawn
And click dissasemble
graceful pawn
oh click the dat?
Yeah
graceful pawn
It's just ghidra didnt know that was a function
And I'm not sure yet that is the whole function??
But it does work lol
graceful pawn
Wait right click again
hot cliff
ok
graceful pawn
Well I'm leaving, gotta do some sport now
graceful pawn
But we made a great advance!!
hot cliff
[replacement Pink Everything Else]
pattern = 0F BA F0 07 48 8D 1D ?? ?? ?? ??
offset = 2
replacement = bytes(E8)
that goes so hard
graceful pawn
Very nice 😁
hot cliff
yup the inaba exe patch works
graceful pawn
Will try to see what is the whole function there tho, don't think that's the whole one
hot cliff
and no more blue text in the load menu screen
graceful pawn
We cookin 🧑🍳
hot cliff
time to move onto the analyse screen
i wonder when it's safe to assume it's a hex code
i thought i could add a break point to the btl ui renderer but it makes the game start and immediately stop
so that might be a dead end
graceful pawn
Yeah, the renderer is rendering too much stuff 😅
You should try adding a breakpoint on read with specific stuff you can see on-screen
hot cliff
yeah i tried that before with the skill names and they didn't work
oh ok now it does work
wtf
1402371F8
ok swine defined that as text something lol
press run once
14023727E
just kinda switches between those two a bunch
yeah i can't gleam anything from this, can you?
graceful pawn
Okay so if you got a hit on the text you should ret some times until you see in ghidra something that could look like a function that draws some stuff
Since print functions tend to have some other functions called before
graceful pawn
yeah i tried that before with the skill names and they didn't work
Maybe you placed a code breakpoint by mistake or smth
I'll take a look into those later, I'm gonna take a shower
hot cliff
alright
i placed a breakpoint on access to the name of the enemy in the memory viewer
and it just took me to a bunch of text writing functions
hot cliff
Okay so if you got a hit on the text you should ret some times until you see in ...
you mean step into?
ok i got to here: 140236BB0
which has an xref to text something
and it's more text stuff
awesome
to here: 140422148
to here: 140248800
ok that should be all the addresses that the text moves throughout
one of them has to have something about rendering
graceful pawn
you mean step into?
Actually for these cases might be better step out right?? Since it will take you out of the current function, could be useful for finding these references without having to look for the ret statement
hot cliff
true
lemme try that
14023727E
ok back to the same spot as before
1402323EB
hmmmmmmmmm this one seems important
1400B03E7
same with that one
graceful pawn
Huh, the step out of this one might bring us to the general function
hot cliff
yeah seems like this is the one
graceful pawn
You can see some colors defined
hot cliff
where lol
hot cliff
oh those are rgb values huh
graceful pawn
They completely look like it right??
You can double click the render function and Swine might have commented that as arguments
graceful pawn
Hehe nice
This project tho is crazy, has a lot of stuff already discovered, Swine did an amazing job
hot cliff
which one would be the blue part?
i know right
half this stuff wouldn't be possible without swines little labels
graceful pawn
Like it could be infered, but we would be spending much more time trying to figure out what stuff is
hot cliff
oh i found the blue part lol
it's the top part
0x69, 0xdf, 0xff, 0xff
105, 223, 255, 255
exactly the same
graceful pawn
Oh is it the one I first saw?? lmao
graceful pawn
Very nice then, that was quick
graceful pawn
now i just gotta figure out how to change it
Just changing some movs should do the trick
hot cliff
255 107 146 255 is what we want instead
graceful pawn
Ok so 0xff, 0x92, 0xff
hot cliff
how would i go about changing that
yeah
in cheat engine though
i think you're missing a value there
graceful pawn
Well alpha must be already 0xff
hot cliff
0xff, 0x6b, 0x92
graceful pawn
So probably we just need to change the other 3
hot cliff
yeah
graceful pawn
0xff, 0x6b, 0x92
Oh yeah that, I think i rewrote the 2nd with the 3rd one lol
If we take a look at the code we can see how it works
graceful pawn
LFGO nice
Lol now that I take a look this function was already discovered by Swine
hot cliff
damn
graceful pawn
What a beast
graceful pawn
Looking nice!!
I'm gonna have some dinner, so will be back later, good luck with the menus
graceful pawn
The psp config menu was worse I must say 
The draws were more scattered
But yeah here there are quite a lot of draws lol
hot cliff
EVERY SINGLE PART
@nocturne trench please tell me there's an easier sweeping way of patching the same bytes in multiple places 😭
i need to replace
RenderUISprite((longlong)pbVar9,0xb,0x6f,fVar19 + 74.0,67.0,0x69,0xdf,0xff,0xff);
with
RenderUISprite((longlong)pbVar9,0xb,0x6f,fVar19 + 74.0,67.0,0xff,0x6b,0x92,0xff);
in all instances of this function
wanton wyvern
you could make the whole UI style configurable this way haha
you could also do something like this as a code mod instead of an expatch maybe? you could set config options that way
hot cliff
yeah i’ll need to make this into a dll eventually
gentle nova
EVERY SINGLE PART
😭
funny that the persona status menu is so cbt in p3p too since I know p3r contains many duplicate references to particular colors
gentle nova
<@131175789138935808> please tell me there's an easier sweeping way of patching ...
at least for me that's not something that I've bothered with, I've just been manually replacing all instances of a given color
hot cliff
damn i really gotta do each part one by one then 😔
how would i even make that into an inaba exe patch
gentle nova
I have a couple ideas that could make mass replacing colors easier but it's not something I've ever implemented myself
hot cliff
that'd be nice
i still have to do the aoa confirmation screen and potentially the player advantage icon
probably more, there's definitely other blue stuff i forget about
like shop ui probably
hot cliff
how the hell are we not done and this help thread is at over 3000+ messages
what the hell man
guess ill need to get the time limit timer too since that's also blue
wanton wyvern
technically the thread topic has been solved 
just leaving it open at this point because this is adjacent anyways

nocturne trench
<@131175789138935808> please tell me there's an easier sweeping way of patching ...
If it's the exact same bytes, then yeah. You just sig scan for all of them. Presumably it's not actually the exact same instructions though, it's just those same arguments (i.e. they may end up as the arguments in different ways)
If they aren't loaded from a single place in memory then you're kinda screwed, you'll most likely have to just go through every single one by hand 
I think I saw someone suggest hooking the rendering function and changing the colour in it if it matches the blue colour. I do think that could work fwiw
hot cliff
they're the exact same bytes @nocturne trench
so i can just sig scan for them all?
nocturne trench
Then you could try doing that
hot cliff
is it not called sigscan.py?
nocturne trench
makesig
nocturne trench
current instruction if that's what you're trying to edit
nocturne trench
That's because it's not unique
Well, the signature is unique but that's why it's so long, what you're trying to scan for isn't really
hot cliff
oh :/
nocturne trench
You don't want it to be unique though since you want all of them
Just write something out by hand
nocturne trench
Yeah something like that
hot cliff
cool cool
aw shit it only replaced one part 😔
does that mean only one part is unique or that it can only replace one part at a time
also the color is wrong
nocturne trench
What are you doing this in? Still an expatch?
nocturne trench
You need to add index=all for it to actually replace all of them
nocturne trench
By default it's just the first since the way it's normally used is for something actually unique
Just in the replacement, below the pattern or something
nocturne trench
doesn't matter where
hot cliff
yeah i paused the reloaded log by accident
nocturne trench
lol
nocturne trench
woah
hot cliff
that's so strange wtf 😭
nocturne trench
funky
hot cliff
that is so funky oml
nocturne trench
you've changed some alpha value ig
hot cliff
oh shit did i?
hot cliff
wait a second i totally did one second
aw shit yeah i did
look
top one is alpha value
ok so make the ff patch the actual address instead of the ??
[replacement Pink Everything Analysis PT 3]
index=all
pattern = C6 44 24 38 FF
offset = 4
replacement = bytes(92)
wonder why not all of the pink was replaced
might mean the HP and SP + the outline is a different value?
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
is this coming across on your monitor too?
nocturne trench
yeah
hot cliff
ok there we go
the little sweat icon above the shadows was also colored that way too >.>
is analysis usually yellow 
this is green now???????????????????????
is there a way to limit the range of the scan to the beginning and end of a funtion?
ok i will have to manually add the rest of the colors in
because replacing the text draw also replaces the text draw of the skills
and we don't want that
ok there seems to be way more PT 3 patches than anything else
so i have to make it more specific
what happened 😭
ok i managed to fix all the weird coloring issues everywhere else but now this happens 😭
what the hell man
im trying to understand why this is happening and coming up blank
i added a few more lines to PT 3 and now this?
wait a second
is it replacing what's in the PT 1?
with 92?
ok i figured it out
it's too specific
PT 1 patches 21 and PT 2 patch 21 addresses
PT 3 patches 10
ok i think i'm boned
i think i have to manually replace each C6 44 24 38 FF pattern by hand
because if i just do that as the scan, there's hundreds
if i add one letter extra, there's less than 21
ok that won't work either since there's also functions outside of this we need to replace
gah this shit sucks man
why does the second to last digit have to be FF too 😔
ugh this is impossible i think 😔
i did a signature scan for the 1st address i had to manually replace and it overlaps with the next address i have to replace
@nocturne trench any way around this? i'm completely stumped
hot cliff
[replacement Pink Everything Analysis PT 3]
index=all
pattern = C6 44 24 38 FF
...
i need to replace this pattern
but only at the same 21 locations the other PT 1 and PT 2 addresses do
generating a sig scan at the first address does this
C6 44 24 ?? FF BA 0B 00 00 00 C6 44 24 ?? DF 48 8B CF C6 44 24 ?? 69 F3 0F 11 74 24 ?? 44 8D 42 ?? E8 ?? ?? ?? ?? C6 44 24 ?? FF
which overlaps with the next ff i have to replace
nocturne trench
Idk, I'm sure you could but it sounds like it'll be a pain
I think you're just better off hooking the sprite drawing function and doing it that way
hot cliff
do you have a code example for that to jump off from?
swine....
i can choose what to replace
ok mostly solved
shoutout to indexes!
time to figure out these last few things
nocturne trench
i can choose what to replace
I didn't realise that was your problem
nocturne trench
Also, if you are going to use that be sure to test it on every version of the game
nocturne trench
Code can move around so doing that isn't really safe.
hot cliff
i mean they're all next to each other so it should be fine
nocturne trench
Ah ok, if it's in the same function then it's probably fine
nocturne trench
It'd just be the functions themself that move, not stuff in them
hot cliff
oh
then i need to move the final out into it's own thing then
actually nevermind it's part of the same function
nocturne trench
I mean, if it works then just go with it
I really doubt this game is ever getting another update
hot cliff
true lol
ok so there is a bit of stuff not colored
but there's a hex code reference to the colors
that i just realized is wrong
one second
ok i need to find out how to color the rest of this stuff
the name, outline, and MAX HP/SP don't get colored when they should
i'm confused as to why MAX HP and MAX SP don't get changed because they're also a sprite
otherwise the text should be findable, there's a function for drawing text
the outline though i got no idea
ignore the 52 and 24, it needed to be 23 not 22
ok what the hell handles the outline
im so confused
or the max hp and max sp
ima need you for this next part brother @graceful pawn
hot cliff
that's embarrassing
hmmmmm
why is it doing that
[replacement Pink Everything Analysis PT 4]
index=all
pattern = 41 B9 FF FF DF 69
offset = 3
replacement = bytes(FF 6B 92)
oh it's backwards
there we go
oooooooooooooooh it's coming together
is it possible i just missed one
but how
ok maybe the outline isn't rendertext or rendersprite because it really isn't either
it might be this drawsomething function
im just surprised that the RenderUISprite didn't take care of the max hp / max sp stuff
or how it affected the text for the health and sp considering those would be text like the title, no?
yeah im stuck
i can't gleam anything else from this one function
but it's definitely this function that handles everything
and there's really only one mention of the FF FF DF 69 bytes
which is what handles the hex code
hot cliff
yeah ive been at this for a bit too long
i can't find any other references to color
i can sort of understand the outline being somewhere else
but not the max hp and max sp
those are actual ui textures so how tf
shit is it not a texture?
shit it might not be a texture
i can't find the MAX texture but i can find the PLV and HP/SP texture
hot cliff
i guess i could look for the health value
and what sprite that is
ok so as it turns out the health sprite draw is in a different function
hot cliff
ok there we go
only problem is this
i replaced every instance of that pattern and it didn't adjust MAX HP / MAX SP
so that means the outline and that text aren't handled by the 0x69, 0xdf, 0xff, 0xff pattern
graceful pawn
there we go
Uuuuh looking good!! 
hot cliff
thanks lol
hot cliff
there we go
it's better looking here
i just need to get those last two and i'm struggling so hard
like i said since i replaced every reference to the 1st 0xff in that pattern in the 1st one i replied to, then it can't be using that as the color
it might be using the hex code
which is 0x69dfffff
ok it is not 😔
um are there any other ways stuff can be colored besides rgb and hex
or hex as rgb
graceful pawn
From Atlus I believe everything lmao
hot cliff
nope it's the exact same color according to gimp
67dfff
wait no
it's using 67ddff
what the fuck
graceful pawn
Eeeh you cannot 100% trust grabbing the color from making a screenshot
At least in my experience
hot cliff
yeah true
especially that small of a difference
yeah no matches found for that different hex code
graceful pawn
Yeah, most likely It is using the original color to render
graceful pawn
I'll turn on my computer to try and find It as well
graceful pawn
do a hex search for
c6 44 24 30 df
All right 
hot cliff
the annoying part is that it can't be that though
since i was able to safely replace every instance of c6 44 24 28 69 without issue
which is part of the color
so idk
graceful pawn
Might be printed by other function or something
Might found one??
It's suspicious, using the same colour
graceful pawn
I opened the project and it was just at the middle of the project when I opened it lmao
Quite lucky
hot cliff
damn
that's a little embarrassing
[replacement Pink Everything Analysis PT 5]
pattern = B0 69 B1 DF 41 B1 FF
replacement = bytes(B0 FF B1 6B 41 B1 82)
hot cliff
nah im testing now
i doubt that's everything haha
oh it did nothing
weird
weird
inaba exe patch didn't write the bytes
actually wait
graceful pawn
Oh weird
hot cliff
[Inaba Exe Patcher] Wrote bytes B0 FF B1 6B 41 B1 82 as value of Pink Everything Analysis PT 5 at 0x1400B0612
[Inaba Exe Patcher] Applied replacement Pink Everything Analysis PT 5 from omegaultracheat.expatch at 0x1400B0612
Patched BindFile mov ecx, 1 -> mov ecx,-1
i guess it did?
nothings different though
graceful pawn
The code did change??
graceful pawn
Well with the debugger you can go to that address right??
hot cliff
yeah i'm looking at it
doesn't seem like it changed
i can't tell
cheat engine changes the values
gimme a second
graceful pawn
Hmm try to live change it and see what changes tho
graceful pawn
But if code didnt change then something must be wrong
hot cliff
either that or i'm blind haha
graceful pawn
Can you change the instruction with cheat engine??
hot cliff
yeah i did
changed the hex values in real time and nothing
lemme try doing that without the patch
graceful pawn
All right if nothing changed then it must not be it I guess
graceful pawn
lemme try doing that without the patch
All right
hot cliff
yeah
it's a little triggering seeing just two little blue bits
like we're right there
how else can colors be stored anyways?
graceful pawn
Well the float/double is kinda b0rked
hot cliff
rip
is it possible it's just not in this function
the HP and SP text is in a different function
like maybe because that texture is reused and not found anywhere else, it's in a different rendering function?
we just have to look at the other rendering functions
or find out where else a similar menu like this is used?
graceful pawn
If you remember a similar one it could be useful yeah
hot cliff
nothing specific comes to mind
there's hella rendering functions swine labeled
any idea where the MAX HP and MAX SP textures are stored btw?
maybe adding a break point to their access could help with this
i tried checking init_free.bin but couldn't find em
hot cliff
seems like this might be em but i can't find the word MAX
hot cliff
maybe
but i feel like it'd be dumb if it were in a different function because of the SPR files
i think the theory of it being called in multiple places puts it in a different function
it's seen here
so maybe in the part that handles rendering this
there's an if else that handles coloring it differently in battles?
graceful pawn
it's seen here
Here it's not using Max tho
graceful pawn
Which makes me think it's in another spr right
graceful pawn
True...
Can you send the file you where inspecting??
To check the stuff in Amicitia
graceful pawn
it's seen here
Wait what about the persona status??
hot cliff
it's in camp
hot cliff
yeah
graceful pawn
Or whatever XDD
hot cliff
yeah it does
is it possible the MAX SP and MAX HP is just text?
like using the font?
graceful pawn
Doesnt look like text but we never know??
Because what about the other line that's drawing in blue
That must be a spr
hot cliff
yeah that's probably one of the many line textures
i think what we need to focus on instead
is finding all the ways the color can be called
and looking for that color
sorry not texture
all the ways color can be called
have you encountered any weird color ways while working on the PSP ports
graceful pawn
have you encountered any weird color ways while working on the PSP ports
Not really, only different thing might be color defined at the memory
And then later used in the program like the config menu
hot cliff
mmmmmmmmmmm
graceful pawn
But dont think this would be the case
hot cliff
yeah probably not
graceful pawn
Because I don't find the color in memory
I can try to work on the psp coloring and let you know if I find the color in there
hot cliff
yeah if you wanna
graceful pawn
Might be similar-ish
hot cliff
i should probably be getting to bed considering it's 2 am
graceful pawn
I'll let you know if I find It then, gn
hot cliff
cool cool
i might be up for a bit while winding down so just ping me
thanks for all the help with this
i really appreciate you and swine both teaching me all of this
eventually ill get the hang of it and do it on my own
once i fully understand all of this i wanna make the antique shop returns weapons instantly
since that whole entire shop is handled directly in code
graceful pawn
Haha I'm Happy you are learning, I enjoy this kind of modding a lot 😁
hot cliff
but i wanna do that on my own since it seems relatively simple
alright time to get ready forbed
graceful pawn
since that whole entire shop is handled directly in code
Uuuh that looks interesting
graceful pawn
Found the function in psp, it is so similar lol
The draw_color_element I had already named it because of the title screen coloring
But following Swine naming it should be RenderUISprite
I'll change it so we have same namings for stuff
Seems skipping the whole function leaves these lines drawn, so they might be drawn elsewhere 🤔
graceful pawn
@hot cliff make sure you change this one as well, it seems to have a different handling to draw just this one
I looked in the pc port decomp and it is drawn different as well
graceful pawn
Found everything!!
Took a while to change them, there were a lot of elements lol
Now that I know where it was in psp I'll find it in the pc port
It was a bit hidden so that's why we were not finding it lol, was inside a function call in psp
hot cliff
I looked in the pc port decomp and it is drawn different as well
oh is it not part of the analysis function?
graceful pawn
It's in here
hot cliff
if it is then i definitely got it just haven't set a screenshot
oh wait lol
then that's what i changed that didn't appear
graceful pawn
oh is it not part of the analysis function?
Well it is a call in the analysis function
graceful pawn
then that's what i changed that didn't appear
Yeah I was thinking that 😅
graceful pawn
It is very possible
hot cliff
oh wait i guess not
that might be something else
ok then ill have to change that one too in the morning
graceful pawn
Yeah, it is better you apply it as well just in case it's other thing
graceful pawn
It's in here
So this is max hp/max sp
One thing to take into account
Is, the code is drawing R_00, G, B, B
Why it is duplicating the B? Because it wants the alpha to be 0xff and blue happens to be 0xff so it uses the same value two times
In our case what can we do??
Well we use 0xff, 0x6b, 0x92
Since our red is 0xff we can do the RenderUISprite
With R_00, G, B, R_00 as the color arguments
hot cliff
huh interesting
do you think you can write out what that replacement bytes would look like
not sure im exactly following
graceful pawn
I don't know how to do that 😅
graceful pawn
It's in here
I mean from here the first part you change the usual: 0x69, 0xdf, 0xff
graceful pawn
That'd be the first part
hot cliff
oh
graceful pawn
Then you'd have to change the parameters
graceful pawn
It's in here
For the second rounded thing here
hot cliff
to what though haha
graceful pawn
Okay by default its using R_00, G, B, B
Since B -> 0xff
But since our color has R_00 -> 0xff
You should change it to R_00, G, B, R_00
hot cliff
oh that's super interesting
graceful pawn
Yeah we can take advantage of our color in this particular case 😅
To reuse it for alpha
hot cliff
wow
ok that's really weird
i wonder why the game did that
just to hardcode the values by assigning them to a variable
graceful pawn
I guess to save up registers, like they were using these colors a lot through the function
hot cliff
weird
graceful pawn
So the compiler saves them first to use them later
But interestingly enough for the numbers of max hp and max sp later its not using the ones in the registers but it's rather loading them again lol
hot cliff
this game is so strange
graceful pawn
Here it just loads them lmao
hot cliff
weird
any idea about the outline?
and can you send me the addresses for all of these locations so i can insta jump to em
graceful pawn
Yeah the outline probably gonna be tough since it's not in this function 😭
hot cliff
sad
graceful pawn
and can you send me the addresses for all of these locations so i can insta jump...
Sure
R_00, G, B location -> 1400b12f8
Function call that uses those values -> 1400b13a0
To keep it here R15B = R_00, R14B = G, BPL = B
Just so you can know when you want to change it in the function
Probably the B you have to change into R_00 in the function -> 1400b1382
Found the lines
I'm changing the other one as well
We cooked
Here's the new cheat for psp
To find it, since we know the actual color, I used the Search Instruction patterns
And looked for places where it was loading a 0x69, 0xdf, 0xff
Can try to do the same for the pc port
All right finally found it comparing the pc/psp decomps
1400afe38, 1400afe57, 1400afe6c, 1400afe81
Its written the other way around like this with: 0xffffdf69
So in our case it should be: 0xff926bff
graceful pawn
I'm struggling to find this blue strip, it's kinda hard
I suspect It might be a .epl I have no idea how to edit 😅
I'll stop for now
graceful pawn
Ic... Then it might be kinda together
hot cliff
you got the pc function for the button prompts?
graceful pawn
Not really
Can try to look it up
But in psp i found it with a read breakpoint in the "Here's our chance..." and steping out until I got to the function
hot cliff
i can try that
wanton wyvern
I finally had a look at the PR after several days (oops) - I wanted to change the title screen color to a different hex (currently it's 7D 00 00 FF, I want it to be B2 31 46 FF) but I get this error. this is where my limited programming knowledge fucks me over but I have no idea how to properly fix this 😆
wicked wagon
I finally had a look at the PR after several days (oops) - I wanted to change th...
I can't tell for sure since you've cropped out the name and type of the variable you're setting there but I'm guessing what's happening here is that the number you're trying to set (0xB23146FF) is within the range of what would be negative values in an int (0x0 to 0x7FFFFFFF are positive and 0x80000000 are negative) and either a) the variable is a uint meaning that it's only positive numbers so visual studio gets confused by trying to set a negative value to it or b) the variable is an int it's interpreting your hex as a uint and thus the value is too high to fit in that positive range of an int
Tldr: just put either (uint) or (int) right next to the hex number, whichever one matches the variables type/gets the error to go away lol

Ah yeah so visual studio is interpreting the number youre trying to put as if it were a uint so the number doesn't fit inside the range it expects for a int (in terms of positive numbers)
It should work fine if you just do (int)0xB23146FF instead
wanton wyvern
it did not like that
wicked wagon
odd
wanton wyvern
indeed lol
i did some experimentation and accidentally brought the just a phase mod to p3p
wicked wagon
Apparently if you did unchecked((int)0xB23146FF) that would make it work?
(or at least make visual studio happy lol)
Really for this case it seems like the variable there should just be a uint but I assume changing that would just break stuff elsewhere in the code lmao
(hopefully you can get it sorted it since I gotta get to work here now so I won't be available to help at all for a few hours lol)

@graceful pawn hmmmmmmmmmmmm
ok wtf
it didn't even replace the outline properly
[replacement Pink Everything Analysis PT 5]
index=1, 2, 3, 4
pattern = 69 DF FF FF
replacement = bytes(FF 92 6B FF)
not correct?
[Inaba Exe Patcher] Wrote bytes FF 92 6B FF as value of Pink Everything Analysis PT 5 at 0x1400AFE3B

ok now im regressing wtf
graceful pawn
Huh now you only changing the left part of the upper part
Not sure why is not the same pink tho??
hot cliff
yeah me neither
maybe im doing the patches wrong
no idea why the background behind it is white either
yeah no i'm lost
i can't get the outline to color right and i can't get the MAX HP / MAX SP texture to look right
graceful pawn
Well at least we know It is those colors tho
I'll check the project later
You can try changing the ordering of the colors for the two lines
hot cliff
quick question
what did you change the R value too
because the R value is also used in a different function and it expects 0xFF
ok there we go
i got everything except the background on MAX HP and MAX SP
had a couple values backwards slightly
graceful pawn
ok there we go
Nicee
hot cliff
what do we do about this though
seems like this handles the background of the MAX HP and MAX SP thing
did you not encounter that issue?
graceful pawn
Oh that actually makes a lot of sense, guess I didnt see It 
graceful pawn
did you not encounter that issue?
Nah in psp was not that well optimized
graceful pawn
What was the R original value??
graceful pawn
Damn, like how the color is so specific
hot cliff
i just need to turn these DIL's into 0x39
graceful pawn
Because the whole ui uses 0x39, 0x39, 0x39 for black
graceful pawn
i just need to turn these DIL's into 0x39
Can you actually make a mov with an immediate value??
In mips it's not possible but knowing x86 has a lot of stuff It might be possible
hot cliff
mmmm maybe
lemme see
how would that look again
mov, 0x39?
i think i need to assign the value don't i?
graceful pawn
Yeah mov original_addr, 0x39 hopefully
hot cliff
oh do i actually put original_addr?
graceful pawn
i just need to turn these DIL's into 0x39
No but the address in here
hot cliff
1400b1318?
graceful pawn
Like the [RSP +... Stuff
graceful pawn
That's an address because It is between [] in x86
graceful pawn
mov [RSP + local_118], 0x39?
Yeah, that's the idea
hot cliff
graceful pawn
Lol whats dil??
graceful pawn
But it's not doing It right??
hot cliff
yeah no
graceful pawn
Its assigning whatever dil is
hot cliff
game crash before the screen even came up
yeah it's assigning this value to DIL
so i guess mov 39, dil?
or how do you write it out?
mov 0x39, dil?
graceful pawn
I guess?? Don't know whats dil
Thought It was inverted tho
Like It should be I think
graceful pawn
Like it's moving the dil into the address I mean
hot cliff
yeah?
graceful pawn
Yeah, It puts the dil value into the address
hot cliff
oh so i'm modifying the wrong thing?
graceful pawn
Because the address is what the Game Will use to colour
hot cliff
oh
graceful pawn
mov [RSP + local_118], 0x39?
Like It should be this exact thing
hot cliff
well how do i make it not call the B variable and instead put 0x39?
i did that and the game crashed
but i can try again
graceful pawn
Looks good I think????
hot cliff
because it;'s this
game will crash when i bring up the analysis screen
yup game crash
so not that
graceful pawn
Wait wait
hot cliff
the weird part is that should be what you do
graceful pawn
Maybe we need to specify like the type of mov??
hot cliff
you just change the DIL
graceful pawn
Like just move a byte
graceful pawn
Uuuh that's it
Should be mov byte ptr
Because it's just moving a byte
Lets test It out
graceful pawn
Lfgo
But wait
Think theres a better way knowing this
Instead of changing r_00, g, b
We should only specify the Pink colors to the function that colors Max HP/sp
graceful pawn
Function call that uses those values -> 1400b13a0
I mean this call
We can instead of using R_00, G, B specify our own specific values there
hot cliff
oh that's smart
graceful pawn
Doing that would only change what we want
hot cliff
true true
graceful pawn
Finally peak analysis screen 🥺
hot cliff
ok time to find that epl
how do you enable print file log again haha
ok one more time
it's under CRI V2 HOOK btw
graceful pawn
how do you enable print file log again haha
That'd be useful, not sure how to do it for psp
wanton wyvern
yay
wanton wyvern
yes
wanton wyvern
weird...
clear cache?
either that or its something that just doesnt get printed idk
graceful pawn
Nicee
wanton wyvern
yayyy
hot cliff
yeah seems like the little slice thing is a gmo
mdl2\battle\cutin\syoudaku\BOKO_SD_2\000.GMO
hot cliff
probably
not sure how though
there's no color texture
or material data implying color
graceful pawn
Ugh unlucky
hot cliff
there is color in this next one
i might have bad news
i gotta check something though
graceful pawn
hot cliff
ok i got bad news
it seems like this color isn't hardcoded
but decided by the EPL itself
you need to hex edit the EPL itself to get it to change colors
i know nothing about this process
graceful pawn
Hmmm oh well
hot cliff
so we might be screwed
if you wanna look into you can
i can even direct you to the guy who knows about the process
maybe they can teach you
graceful pawn
Can try to find the value, have done that for fes for .anm file which were quite unknown
Would be good to know the specific color tho but I know that's hard to know 😅
Do you have the file close??
hot cliff
yeah im zipping em up for you
just know that MDL2 doesn't work for you
and you're gonna need the tool called BedTools by Pio to extract the EPL files
graceful pawn
Ic, I'll take a look into that then thanks!
graceful pawn
Right
hot cliff
ok actually
there's a chance it's pulling from somewhere else
a lot of gmos are reused in different places
wanton wyvern
I finally had a look at the PR after several days (oops) - I wanted to change th...
hi @nocturne trench 😳
felt bad for pinging tbh but you did write the code so i suppose there's no better person to ask lol
nocturne trench
Oh, just change it to a uint
wanton wyvern
I tried that and it just left the screen red or made it black (I don't remember which)
do I need to clear the cache for something like that??
nocturne trench
This what you expected?
wanton wyvern
no, should be more like this
nocturne trench
This right?
wanton wyvern
that looks more right, yeah
what did you change?
I'm doing a few changes as is so I'll probably just add it into my local version
also thanks
nocturne trench
Turns out it needs to be like this if it's a uint, opposite order to what you'd expect. It never should've been a signed int in the first place, that would've been changing the bytes.
// Colour is ABGR (opposite of what you'd expect)
private static readonly uint TITLE_SCREEN_COLOUR = 0xFF4631B2;
all good
hot cliff
@wanton wyvern you gonna include the pink loading card and config screen?
is that already part of the dll?
you just need this
[replacement FEMC Title Screen]
pattern = C7 45 ?? 00 01 25 FF
offset = 3
replacement = bytes(B2 31 46 FF)
[replacement Fix My MISTAKES]
pattern = 75 ?? F6 83 ?? ?? ?? ?? 02 74 ?? E8 ?? ?? ?? ??
replacement = bytes(90 90)
[replacement Pink Everything Else]
pattern = 0F BA F0 07 48 8D 1D ?? ?? ?? ??
offset = 2
replacement = bytes(E8)
wanton wyvern
oh that is not in there right now
I'll do my best but I may need further help haha
hot cliff
ok so the aoa prompt is genuinely the last thing needed for this mod
based on my understanding
there's also the timer found in the first full moon boss but that can come later
any ideas on how to recolor it?
i decompiled the EPL and modified the gmos material data to make em pink and nothing
ivan was able to recolor the button prompts which aren't part of the epl i believe
my working theory is that the EPL itself is coloring it since EPLs and BEDs can do that
im honestly surprised ivan wasn't able to find what colors it
that definitely means it isn't handled in code
wanton wyvern
it's not a texture, is it?
hot cliff
nah i checked that
C:\Users\airin\Downloads\BOKO_SD_2_extracted\ep\00>gmoconv C:\Users\airin\Downloads\BOKO_SD_2_extracted\ep\01\embedded.gms

i got a hex script to compare two modified bed files of the same skill
because pioziom recolored mamudoon to be red for signature skills+
i can compare the two, the original and the red version
only problem is that i can't make any sense of the changed differences 😔
somehow there's 90 differences?
wanton wyvern
I'll do my best but I may need further help haha
yeah some of this code doesn't make much sense to me haha
it looks like the current code only accounts for the title screen, not the fixed mistakes or pink everything else
main thing I'm trying to figure out right now is how offsets are applied and what the heck the use64/mov dword lines do
hot cliff
oh there's a crash with the pink card on load
the fix the mistakes thing fixes that and stops the crash
pink everything else is the loading card and config menu
wanton wyvern
gotcha
hot cliff
i'm sure swine could explain how to update it
wanton wyvern
I think I've gotten most of it figured out so far, it's just the function itself I don't understand
incredible I know
wanton wyvern
this is how the pink title screen is handled in VS
wanton wyvern
I do but I'm just trying to convert the rest of your expatch into code for the mod dll
basically eliminate the need for the expatch altogether
hot cliff
well i'm pretty sure the fix my mistakes one is two "nop"s lol
wanton wyvern
(also because expatches don't allow for config stuff)
hot cliff
hence the 90 90
the pink everything else is also technically that
instead of a BTR
it's a BTS
gah i wish i could help more but i also hardly understand this stuff
wanton wyvern
yeah haha ill be honest none of what you said made sense to me LMAO
this is like assembly or adjacent i'm pretty sure
no wonder it's so troublesome
hot cliff
yeah it's basically assembly
i'm pretty sure you just put the assembly instructions into the quotation marks
which you can get from opening up cheat engine and finding the addresses
wanton wyvern
and it seems I can't just do this as well, I was hoping to just have it in here so 1 config option would control all the different changes
there's probably a correct way to do it...
wanton wyvern
which you can get from opening up cheat engine and finding the addresses
how does this process work?
hot cliff
uhhhhh
wanton wyvern
fair enough lol
wanton wyvern
no its okay
hot cliff
lemme think
wanton wyvern
this stuff is frying my brain too none of it makes sense lmao
hot cliff
it would be a helluva lot easier if you had the addresses i had
so you could just insta jump to where i'm at
but i didn't keep track of those so i only have the memory
hm
wanton wyvern
all of that just to do this lol
this clearly won't work but it's a start
I don't know if this is actually the right way to do things though 🤔
i wonder if I even need to specify separate hooks or if I can just use the title screen hook?
hot cliff
calling in the 2nd big guns
@novel crane any idea?
trying to update the dll to feature the new expatch stuff
wanton wyvern
2nd big guns 😆
hot cliff
mainly the fix my mistakes and everything else
wanton wyvern
yeah im gonna put this aside for now because my brain hurts
novel crane
<@726235769299009667> any idea?
hot cliff
wanton wyvern
hot cliff
link your github brawler
current expatch
ignore the analysis screen stuff that's something else and not part of the mod
just everything else and fix my mistakes
wanton wyvern
novel crane
idk what im supposed to be looking at, and im not reading 100+ messages 😭
hot cliff
we need to take this code
[replacement FEMC Title Screen]
pattern = C7 45 ?? 00 01 25 FF
offset = 3
replacement = bytes(B2 31 46 FF)
[replacement Fix My MISTAKES]
pattern = 75 ?? F6 83 ?? ?? ?? ?? 02 74 ?? E8 ?? ?? ?? ??
replacement = bytes(90 90)
[replacement Pink Everything Else]
pattern = 0F BA F0 07 48 8D 1D ?? ?? ?? ??
offset = 2
replacement = bytes(E8)
from the expatch
and apply it to the titlescreen.cs
wanton wyvern
first one is already done
novel crane
all of that just to do this lol
well for one something goes here isn't valid asm 🤓
hot cliff
so it can be configured on and off
hot cliff
we just need to turn the expatch into a configurable on and off option
swine did a bunch here
https://github.com/BrawlerAce/p3ppc.kotonecutscenes/commit/e93f8e6ec274a75adc642b1c2c183ef0c7d5cf0e
wanton wyvern
it's already been merged
hot cliff
yeah that's the commit difference shower
novel crane
[replacement FEMC Title Screen]
pattern = C7 45 ?? 00 01 25 FF
offset = 3
rep...
swine added hooks, the stuff you posted just edit memory (replacements)
hot cliff
oh
so do we have to translate the changed bytes into the actual assembly code or nah
or can we also do a SigScan and directly replace the bytes
like this here
hot cliff
oh neat
so we can get the address from a sigscan, pass it to that, then get the bytes
how would you write the bytes as an int value? just like 0xE0 or whatever?
novel crane
you'll need to add Reloaded.Memory: https://github.com/Reloaded-Project/Reloaded.Memory
BitConverter will handle converting it to bytes
