oh

#

well what if you already have the bytes

#

or is that a dumb question haha

novel crane Aug 11, 2024, 1:10 AM

#

i think new byte[] { 0x20, 0x40, etc }

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 1:10 AM

#

neat

#

alright sounds easy enough

#

i think brawler can do it

wanton wyvern Aug 11, 2024, 1:11 AM

#

is there a way that the config part of it should be handled in particular?

#

and with the current setup would I want this going in titlescreen.cs, mod.cs, or does it not actually matter?

wanton wyvern Aug 11, 2024, 1:12 AM

#

hot cliff i think brawler can do it

you may be overestimating my power but we shall see lol

novel crane Aug 11, 2024, 1:15 AM

wanton wyvern and with the current setup would I want this going in titlescreen.cs, mod.cs, or...

doesn't matter naotoshrug

#

what is the interface I would use for Reloaded.Memory?

#

or does it work differently for this one 🤔

novel crane Aug 11, 2024, 1:28 AM

#

wanton wyvern what is the interface I would use for Reloaded.Memory?

just a regular library with this one i think

wanton wyvern Aug 11, 2024, 1:31 AM

#

well like just to add the project reference

#

im used to it being in a dedicated interfaces folder or similar

#

or is it just the Reloaded.Memory.sln file in src?

novel crane Aug 11, 2024, 1:45 AM

#

lol

#

i'm just now realizing you've had it rough with all the git and reloaded libraries stuff

wanton wyvern Aug 11, 2024, 1:46 AM

#

it is never ending pain it seems lol

novel crane Aug 11, 2024, 1:46 AM

#

it's normally way easier, when not modding

#

right click your project dependencies, add nuget package

#

click the search tab instead of installed

#

search for Reloaded.Memory and install

#

then just var mem = new Memory();

wanton wyvern Aug 11, 2024, 1:54 AM

#

and then something like this?

#

ignoring the fact that i just copy pasted this... does anything else look off, is this roughly how it should be handled

wanton wyvern Aug 11, 2024, 5:42 AM

#

I should've left this earlier but this is where I left off. it seems according to the template, address is for the pattern to write to, and I assumed that second part should just be the replacement. however it does not seem to like the pattern, says it can't be converted to a nuint. and that's where I'm stuck bc idk how to put in this pattern at all

nocturne trench Aug 11, 2024, 5:46 AM

#

Yeah, that's not really how that works. You need to use sig scanner to get the address then put that into safewrite.
Could you make a separate help post for it, this one has already gone to hell and I think the explanation/help will actually be applicable to other people so it'd be better if it was in a post that wasn't 5 million messages long

wanton wyvern Aug 11, 2024, 5:47 AM

#

yeah sure. i probably won't work on it any more tonight though

nocturne trench Aug 11, 2024, 5:47 AM

#

novel crane it's normally way easier, when not modding

I doesn't need to be like it is, people just don't like publishing interfaces to nuget for some reason 😔
The one or two I have made myself I've published to nuget, in the unlikely case that they ever get used it's much easier that way

nocturne trench Aug 11, 2024, 5:48 AM

#

wanton wyvern yeah sure. i probably won't work on it any more tonight though

That's fair, just ping me when you decide to

wanton wyvern Aug 11, 2024, 5:48 AM

I did not even know nuget was an option ngl

wanton wyvern Aug 11, 2024, 5:48 AM

hot cliff i thought we stayed on topic 😔

I mean you mostly have, it's just tbh I don't know if this post could be particularly useful to anyone else. It's got so many messages and whilst you are technically on one topic, it's quite a broad one

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 5:54 AM

#

sorry

nocturne trench Aug 11, 2024, 5:55 AM

#

It's fine, it would be hard to split this up into multiple posts without having a heap of them, I think

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 5:55 AM

#

ill go through the messages and make a good summary of discoveries before the post is closed

#

like all the ways RGB is stored, link to the ghidra project, breakpoint info

novel crane Aug 11, 2024, 6:49 AM

#

nocturne trench I doesn't *need* to be like it is, people just don't like publishing interfaces ...

naopain

#

it's tedious

nocturne trench Aug 11, 2024, 7:00 AM

#

I don't think it's that bad...

#

Spend a bit of time getting it set up with github actions then don't think about it again (at least until your nuget api key expires 🙃 )

novel crane Aug 11, 2024, 7:15 AM

#

you mean you can upload straight from an action?

gentle nova Aug 11, 2024, 7:16 AM

#

yes!

#

all of my projects that use interfaces automatically upload to nuget when a new release tag is created

nocturne trench Aug 11, 2024, 7:22 AM

#

github actions can basically do anything

novel crane Aug 11, 2024, 7:24 AM

#

except work the first time

nocturne trench Aug 11, 2024, 7:29 AM

#

true lol

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 7:40 AM

#

How were you able to view the gmo like this?? Would be cool to have the program

#

What makes me wonder if the coloring is done by the epl is that It shows up as white

#

Yesterday I also used a visual debugger the ppsspp seems to have which seems powerful

#

And at the moment of printing the strip It showed It was white but then when It printed It got blue

#

So might be possible It is being done through Code (?) hopefully...

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 7:46 AM

#

graceful pawn How were you able to view the gmo like this?? Would be cool to have the program

BedTools!

#

it's by pio

#

it's on gamebanana

#

you can also get psp_tools.7z for gmoview and gmoconv

#

i forget where you get those

#

but you'll need those as well @graceful pawn

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 7:47 AM

#

graceful pawn And at the moment of printing the strip It showed It was white but then when It ...

that kinda makes sense

#

when you view the tmx files for EPL and BEDs they're white

#

dunno if that means they're colored by the EPL or the game itself

#

i'm just a little befuddled as to why recoloring the gmos itself had no noticeable effect

#

working theory is those bars are pulled from somewhere else instead

#

i noticed that with femc fusion spells

#

the game does some stupid shit where the same file can be in multiple spots, but it only ever calls to one in one specific spot

#

you can see that here with this mod
https://gamebanana.com/mods/499266

GameBanana

Better FEMC Fusion Spells [Persona 3 Portable (PC)] [Mods]

How it should have been.... A Persona 3 Portable (PC) (P3P PC) Mod in the GUI/HUD category, submitted by Dexxtrip

#

despite the gmo being in every single BED file, it's only ever called from MRF_110

#

even more annoyingly, this isn't shown on the print file log

#

as the print file log just prints that it's at the file you're currently loading, which isn't true

#

dunno if that's a bug with reloaded or just part of how the game works or not

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 7:51 AM

#

hot cliff BedTools!

Oh don't tell me It was all in bedtools naosmiley

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 7:51 AM

#

well the viewing part is gmoview

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 7:51 AM

#

Thought It was just for extracting lol

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 7:51 AM

#

it is just for extracting

#

and recompiling

#

the viewing part is gmoview like i said

#

to adjust the gmos itself it's gmoconv

#

or technically sadoaiya too

#

there's nothing you can really gleam from the extract outside of looking directly at the files contained within

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 7:52 AM

#

Thanks jeez think I spent a lot time looking for the gmoview and It was just before me dark

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 7:52 AM

#

if you can't find gmoview, noesis should work too well

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 7:53 AM

#

Thing is I used noesis but I didnt get good results

#

Didnt make any sense what It was printing

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 7:54 AM

#

lemme get you gmoview then real quick

#

📎 omega_important.7z

#

gmoview and gmoconv as well as gimconv and gimview

Goated femc

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 7:56 AM

#

if you need to load multiple models at once hold ALT and drag both in at the same time

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 7:56 AM

#

Idk why but was impossible to find yesterday wow

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 7:56 AM

#

if it doesn't show up then press A

#

yeah the link to it on the sadoaiya site is dead and pio hasn't reupped it

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 7:56 AM

#

All right naothumbsup now have more stuff to play then

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 7:56 AM

#

cool cool

#

lemme know if you find anything

#

hopefully we can understand how EPL coloring works

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 7:57 AM

#

Sure!!

#

Why I can't open the gmoview?? 😭

#

Will look for the error code I guess

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:07 AM

#

oh weird

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:07 AM

#

Think it might be some dependency I dont have installed

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:08 AM

#

seems to work fine for me so probably

#

maybe check the readme files

#

no idea why it doesn't work for you

#

pio never mentioned any dependencies

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:17 AM

#

Yeah, did that but there's no mention to dependencies so... Huh 🤔

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:20 AM

#

weird

#

does gimview work

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:21 AM

#

Amazingly enough that one does work dark

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:21 AM

#

wild

#

just not gmoview

#

hmmm

#

gimme a second

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:21 AM

#

Yup

#

Hold on

#

Think I found something about the color

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:22 AM

#

try this

📎 GmoView.7z

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:22 AM

#

Dont really know how to test it tho

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:22 AM

#

lemme hear it

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:22 AM

#

hot cliff try this

Nope, still same error 😭

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:22 AM

#

damn

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:23 AM

#

hot cliff lemme hear it

Yesterday I remember stumbling in 010 editor one value that kinda looked like a color maybe

#

it was #009deb

#

But today looking at the texture debugger of ppsspp I found this

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:23 AM

#

seems to match

#

oh?

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:25 AM

#

Found this

#

The color printed by ppsspp is 0,155,235

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:26 AM

#

huh that's interesting

#

that's super close to our hex code

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:26 AM

#

Which is #009beb think its the same color I saw

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:27 AM

#

hot cliff that's super close to our hex code

I may have wrote it wrong before

#

Lemme look at the actual color I found

#

It's a match huh??

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:28 AM

#

yeah it is in there huh

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:28 AM

#

How can we test it tho??

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:28 AM

#

only in one location

#

just hex edit and change the value lol

#

then load the file

#

simple

#

what color do we want

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:29 AM

#

But I mean, how do i load it with ppsspp??

#

Never really modded p3p

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:29 AM

#

oh do you not have mod support enabled

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:29 AM

#

But can send you the modded file if you want

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:29 AM

#

there's a modding guide on gamebanana that's super easy\

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:30 AM

#

hot cliff there's a modding guide on gamebanana that's super easy\

I'll set it up then so I can test this stuff

#

What color are we going for in this one tho??

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:31 AM

#

i made it hot pink so it's obvious

📎 BOKO_SD_2.EPL

#

#

testing time!

#

when you get it on PSP it goes in battle/cutin/syoudaku

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:33 AM

#

holy shit why did pio massively overcomplicate it femcmad

#

it's quite literally a hex code in ONE LOCATION

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:34 AM

#

Literally lmao

#

Maybe it can get harder depending of the .gmo tho

#

Because in this case its just a line luckily

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:36 AM

#

well hey now we know

#

the EP files in the 010 contain the color data

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:36 AM

#

Hell yeah

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:36 AM

#

ok now we need a better color than this

#

hot pink is gross

#

and also ima need that PC function to recolor the button prompts too

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:37 AM

#

Yeah, think the normal color is just like the typical blue the game uses for mc

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:37 AM

#

pretty sure

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:37 AM

#

So we can use the typical pink for femc

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:40 AM

#

well hey i'm also glad my theory of it being colored by the EPL was true

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:41 AM

#

Yeah, I would have gone crazy looking for the color in the code 😅

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:44 AM

#

pink is in

#

just gotta get those button prompts

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:44 AM

#

Yeah those ones were easy

#

Just read breakpoint in the Here's our chance

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:46 AM

#

oh sweet

#

ok now i gotta get another aoa in

#

and then step out right?

#

or is it right there haha

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:47 AM

#

Yeah it's some step outs

#

Because of the string functions

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:48 AM

#

alright

#

ill send some screenies, lemme know if i'm there or not lol

#

first address

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:49 AM

#

All right this is the string yeah

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:49 AM

#

second

#

oh for real?

#

that easy

#

there's a bunch here though

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:49 AM

#

hot cliff first address

Well it's a read breakpoint in this string I meant

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:50 AM

#

oh so not what we're looking for yet

#

myb

#

i think this should be it

#

there's a render button icon above

#

as well as a check for key pressed

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:50 AM

#

Looks like it 😉

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:50 AM

there we go

#

#

what values did you change it too?

#

it's a softer pink in your image than the usual femc colors

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:52 AM

#

I think I used a soft pink for those

#

Think I used this pink from config screen

#

Lemme look at the cheat

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:53 AM

#

ffbfdb

#

is what ill go with

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:54 AM

#

Right, I'll change it then

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:55 AM

#

oh is that not the color you went with

#

i just picked it from your image

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:55 AM

#

Oh no, it's not

#

Mine it was

#

FFC1DC

#

Screenshot shenanigans with the colors 😅

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 8:58 AM

#

why does the game always do this

#

leaves a little slice at the end that's colored a different way

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 8:59 AM

#

Hahahaha that's because of the rounded effect of the square

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:00 AM

#

so dumb

#

i found it anyways

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:01 AM

#

Like probably game uses a texture this small only but it extends the edges to the right

#

And then inverts it to end the square in another draw

#

Hope I'm explaining lol

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:02 AM

#

yeah i'm a little familiar

#

they pulled that same stunt with the analysis screen

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:02 AM

#

They love that lmao

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:07 AM

#

gotta get a makesig from ghidra one sec

#

didn't like the address i put in

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:07 AM

#

hot cliff why does the game always do this

What color did you finally went for the pink strip of the epl??

#

Wonder if I can use your epl just as it is

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:07 AM

#

oh just the normal femc pink from the analysis screen

#

you definitely can

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:07 AM

Guess they didnt change it from psp to pc port right??

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:08 AM

i can't tell

#

It's a .dds??

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:23 AM

#

yeah

#

for PC

#

oh wait

#

ill handle that for the PSP version

#

explaining the process of how to get that texture inserted on PSP would completely derail this thread

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:24 AM

#

But this looks like the aoa backgrounds right??

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:24 AM

#

yeah it does

#

that's the weird thing

#

but i did the aoa and the pink texture also loaded didn't show up?

#

so i guess it's fine?

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:24 AM

#

Maybe it's another thing and it's just preloading it in case it's gonna use it??

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:24 AM

#

im about to test

#

maybe

#

maybe

#

considering nothing else loaded when i did the aoa

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:25 AM

#

Huh that'd make sense then

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:26 AM

#

yeah it's the aoa backgrounds 😔

#

#

sad times

#

wonder what the blue streaks are then

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:27 AM

Yeah... Think it is a 3d model or something when I tried to find it some days ago

#

time to make it for aemulus

#

you got a final updated cheats.ini on you?

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:42 AM

#

Yup, lemme look for the cheat file

#

Here you go

📎 ULUS10512.ini

#

Also changed the cheat name to Total Kotone Overhaul

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:46 AM

#

sweeet

#

thanks

#

it's all coming together

#

ill do a thumbnail later

#

it's 3 AM

#

i have an idea but it's dumb

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:47 AM

#

Looking nicely in psp 🥺

#

But is it soft pink as well now that I see it??

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:48 AM

#

oh for real?

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:48 AM

#

Or did you change it

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:48 AM

#

i think i might've adjusted the values wrong

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:48 AM

#

Maybe you wrote the soft pink ones by mistake

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:50 AM

#

yeah i definitely did

#

Now we are talking naocheer

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:57 AM

#

niceeee

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:59 AM

#

Btw @hot cliff before you go to sleep, do you have a psp save for the time limit??

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:59 AM

#

no but you can redo it if you have the margaret stuff unlocked

#

i do have saves for those

#

one sec

#

📎 saves.7z

#

if you go into the margaret door on the left you can refight the priestess

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 10:00 AM

#

Nice, how can I acces it from those??

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 10:00 AM

#

hot cliff if you go into the margaret door on the left you can refight the priestess

Ic okay okay

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 10:00 AM

#

or you know

#

call the battle via mod menu

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 10:01 AM

#

True that's another one

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 10:01 AM

#

alright i must sleep

#

it is quite late

#

anything else?

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 10:01 AM

#

Don't think there's anything left, gn!!

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 10:01 AM

#

alrighty

#

good luck on your endeavours

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 10:02 AM

#

Hehehe thanks ^^

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 10:18 AM

#

Seems there is no time limit if done through the door 😭

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 10:51 AM

#

mod menu it is then

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 10:54 AM

#

I finally skipped the whole start since its quite close with fast forward

#

And found the values!!

#

There you go, it's done

#

Can send you a save with the day before the operation as well to find the values on pc

#

Guess there should be a way to convert it to pc save already

wanton wyvern Aug 11, 2024, 9:30 PM

#

I do also like... have a PC save for that day lol

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:31 PM

#

that works too

#

the PSP to PC save conversion process sucks mighty ass

wanton wyvern Aug 11, 2024, 9:31 PM

#

its one of these, sorry i havent checked these in a while lol

📎 saves.zip

#

Kotone Shiomi, iirc I was playing on Normal

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:32 PM

#

Nice then

#

Advice if you wanna look for the time limit value, it's stored in seconds in the memory

#

Its not minutes and then seconds but all together

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

oh nice i was about to ask about that

#

do i not add a break point on the time limit text lol

wanton wyvern Aug 11, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

those saves go from 4/7 to 5/31 btw so maybe it's one of the saves in the latter half

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:34 PM

#

For this I used cheat engine and waited when the value changed to go for "Decreased value" for the memory search

#

You should be fine doing that

#

Also can send you how the function looks in psp just a sec

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:35 PM

#

cool cool

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:36 PM

#

It'd be looking like this, the arrow call shows where the color for the timer is, there are more just after this one but they are not important in this case

#

So yeah original color for that is #5bffed

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:38 PM

#

neat

#

and what color did you change it to lol

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:38 PM

#

Think I went for the standard pink used in the analysis menu

#

But you can test with other color

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:38 PM

#

alrighty

#

simple enough

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:39 PM

#

Whatever fits best, it can be changed hee_approves

#

I'll send the psp patch, think i didnt send it yet for this one

#

Here you go

📎 ULUS10512.ini

#

Seems I went for#ff5b9a

#

Think I used 5b for green to make it more similar to the original timer color

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 9:41 PM

#

nice

#

alrighty

#

gonna make some lunch first and then i’ll get onto this

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 9:42 PM

#

Great naocheer

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 10:36 PM

#

ok time limit is not an address that i can find

#

gonna have to go with the seconds

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 10:39 PM

#

Oh you mean like the text??

#

Yeah think that's an spr

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 10:43 PM

#

yeah sadly

#

i cannot find the time limit address doing what you said

#

nevermind i got it

#

yeah i got it

#

0F244B84

#

breakpoint isn't responding though

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 10:46 PM

#

The read breakpoint isnt doing anything??

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 10:46 PM

#

weird and i can't find the address in ghidra

#

oh i did hardware break point lol one sec

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 10:47 PM

#

Woops 😅

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 10:47 PM

#

140111736

#

1403A689C

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 10:47 PM

#

In my case it was doing more than one read

#

Yeah exactly

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 10:49 PM

#

and so step out?

#

14A472CD3

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 10:50 PM

#

Didnt really need the step out in this case

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 10:50 PM

#

oh it was the first one?

#

and you said break on read right?

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 10:50 PM

#

Yeah on read only

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 10:51 PM

#

lol you were right

#

i was doing it wrong

#

140111858

#

#

exact same function

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 10:51 PM

#

You got it 😉

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 11:03 PM

#

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 11:04 PM

#

Huh?? 😅

#

What did you change it to??

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 11:05 PM

#

[Inaba Exe Patcher] Multiple replacement values specified for Pink Time Limit B, using last defined one (bytes(5B FF C6 44 24 20 FF))
[Inaba Exe Patcher] Wrote bytes 5B FF C6 44 24 20 FF as value of Pink Time Limit B at 0x140111830
[Inaba Exe Patcher] Applied replacement Pink Time Limit B from omegaultracheat.expatch at 0x140111830

#

that's a problem

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 11:06 PM

#

The patcher you mean??

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 11:06 PM

#

yeah

#

i wrote the patch wrong lol

#

ill fix it

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 11:07 PM

#

Oh then that'd make sense XDD

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 11:12 PM

#

gaming

#

graceful pawn Aug 11, 2024, 11:13 PM

#

Yeaaah femc

hot cliff Aug 11, 2024, 11:17 PM

#

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:02 AM

#

any other blue parts we're missing?

#

besides the streaks in the aoa prompt screen?

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 7:34 AM

#

Can only think of the player advantage 🤔

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:07 PM

#

i wanna challenge myself a bit

#

i wanna find and recolor the player advantage all on my own

#

so ima look for it

#

and do not help me until i ask for it

#

and make sure i really want the help

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:12 PM

#

Uuuh that one looks more challenging than the usual ones

#

But it's a good challenge to go through, let me know if you really need the help then

#

I didnt try to find it yet though, probably I'll try later

#

But have a lead from the previous researchs so might go from there

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:24 PM

#

okay you may be right

#

adding a break point to the access of the SPR textures containing it insta freeze the game

#

and doesn't let it continue so i can't actually start a battle

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:27 PM

#

Yeah, a lot of stuff is being drawn there 😅

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:28 PM

#

and i can't find the part where it actually calls the one c_main_07_10 texture femcmad

#

it just calls the spr

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:29 PM

#

Oh so you know the spr??

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:29 PM

#

yeah

#

but adding a break point to the main SPR texture insta freezes the game and doesn't let me actually get the battle started

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:29 PM

#

You can try to look at the sprts (although there probably are a lot of them)

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:29 PM

#

it's like it's constantly accessing something from that SPR

#

#

it's this one

#

you can tell by the way it is

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:30 PM

#

Oooh that's the time of the day probably right??

#

The one being accesed

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:30 PM

#

doing a string search for c_main_07_10 yields nothing in cheat engine

#

😔

#

yeah probably

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:30 PM

#

You can also

#

Since it's stopping the game you can nop the function that calls the time of the day, making it not drawed

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:31 PM

#

oh true

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:31 PM

#

And also potentially not stopping the game

#

If there are no more calls to that function that is

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:32 PM

#

ok now i gotta find that too

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:33 PM

#

But since it's accessing that probably that same function might be drawing the advantage as well (?)

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:33 PM

#

oh well the first function is loading the camp file haha

#

that might be handy later

#

14A361F05

#

ok well i noped out something

#

it let the game continue

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:37 PM

#

Uuuh good sign

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:37 PM

#

140212D1A

#

except im on a new floor

#

and it froze again

#

with the time of day still rendered

#

game crash 😔

#

alright lemme be more selective with this

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:38 PM

#

hot cliff 140212D1A

This is entering combat??

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:38 PM

#

is it?

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:38 PM

#

Idk did you enter combat?? XDD

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:39 PM

#

no?

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:39 PM

#

Then its not

#

Maybe you nopped something that was handling with the memory in some way

#

And when entering a new floor memory changed and some bad acces triggered

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:40 PM

#

ok i got an address for entering combat

#

1403DB298

#

1400AEC3C

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:43 PM

#

Which one you think looks more interesting...??

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:43 PM

#

neither

#

don't think im in the right spot yet

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:44 PM

#

Don't you think the second one might be it??

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:44 PM

#

1403B8CBF

#

are you hinting 👀

#

i had a feeling it was it

#

there's some hex codes there

#

but i checked them all and none of them are blue

#

soooooo

#

ill check again

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:44 PM

#

hot cliff are you hinting 👀

Maybe... 👀

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:46 PM

#

are you sure it's the second one? none of these hex codes are blue

#

and it's definitely not enemy advantage, i hit that mfers back

#

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:46 PM

#

Probably enemy/ally advantage is in the same function (I guess, dont really know 100%)

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:46 PM

#

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#

ok i guess i need to find the blue in this sea of red

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:47 PM

#

Didnt really look into all the functions but it def seems suspicious enough to investigate

#

Like it prints a lot of stuff and plays some sounds (think enemy/ally advantage plays sounds right??)

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:48 PM

#

im about to lose it, it's all either red or yellow

#

yeah there's a little like

#

warble sound

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:48 PM

#

hot cliff yeah there's a little like

Yeah yeah

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:49 PM

#

oh wait

#

it's probably backwards

#

4359fc

#

hlue

#

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:49 PM

#

There are more ways to represent colors correct, depending on the function might be even reversed

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:50 PM

#

they're all blue 😔

#

#

i was just reading em backwards

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:50 PM

#

Oh lol

#

Well maybe you did read some red

#

But from the enemy advantage part of the code don't you think??

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:51 PM

#

yeah maybe

#

#

this is definitely blue

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:52 PM

#

Well take a look at the function arguments before

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:52 PM

#

it says the first value is alpha

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:52 PM

#

Color starts at argument 6

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:52 PM

#

oh

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:52 PM

#

Counting from 1

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:53 PM

#

uh then i don't know haha

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:53 PM

#

We can take advantage from Swine already documenting the function hehe

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:53 PM

#

swine documented the advantage function?

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:53 PM

#

hot cliff uh then i don't know haha

Take a look lower in the function, you might found the same one...

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:53 PM

#

hot cliff swine documented the advantage function?

Nah but documented the RenderSprTexture one with the arguments and stuff

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:54 PM

#

ok there's two rendersprtextue function calls

#

they look the exact same

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:54 PM

#

That one's looking like another color 👀

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:54 PM

#

how would i get the color from it haha

#

seems like the color is calculated

#

0x19 is the alpha yeaH?

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:56 PM

#

Noo, where is 0x19 tho??

#

Oh you mean the first one

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:56 PM

#

hot cliff

in this one?

#

oh

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:56 PM

#

It's not the alpha but it's the green value

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:56 PM

#

oh

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:57 PM

#

You can hover at the function name and the arguments order will show up

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:57 PM

#

am i bad at counting wtf

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:57 PM

#

hot cliff am i bad at counting wtf

Hahaha its okay

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:57 PM

#

so 0, 25, 255

#

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:58 PM

#

Yup, it's a strong blue

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:58 PM

#

and i assume this is the red value then?

#

do i only need to hook this blue value?

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:58 PM

#

hot cliff and i assume this is the red value then?

Yup, that one is pure red

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 12:59 PM

#

interesting

#

ok so

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 12:59 PM

#

hot cliff do i only need to hook this blue value?

Not sure, you can try to live change it in game and see what changes

#

But looks sus

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 1:00 PM

#

ok just so i'm understandintg

#

0xff is the R

#

0x19 is the G?

#

yeah there we go

#

0, 25, 255

#

255, 0, 121

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 1:01 PM

#

hot cliff 0, 25, 255

Yup thats the color

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 1:02 PM

#

121 in hex isssssssssssssssssss

#

79

#

hm

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 1:03 PM

#

You can try to change it with cheat engine with another color to test it works tho

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 1:03 PM

#

what is the 0 value here?

#

i don't see it anywhere

#

yeah that's what i'm doing now lol

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 1:03 PM

#

Oh right lol

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 1:03 PM

#

#

i'm assuming it's this R15B?

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 1:04 PM

#

Well judging by the ordering it should be, yeah

#

Might be some register reuse

#

And the addresses also make sense for the value to be the 0

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 1:05 PM

#

painfrost

#

it hardly recolored it

#

just this little pink part in the center

#

i had a feeling it was in a million spots

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 1:05 PM

#

hot cliff i had a feeling it was in a million spots

Yeah, looks like it is 😅

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 1:05 PM

#

ok one second lemme make this into an expatch for easier modifying

#

better screenshot

#

just that pink part in the center

#

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

#

ok gotta get hyped

#

we're almost done

#

legit where else could the colors be

#

ok i'm calling the towel, ima need you

#

plus i need to go on my morning walk since it's nice and early

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 1:17 PM

#

hot cliff better screenshot

Uuuuuh getting close!!

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 1:17 PM

#

am i?

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 1:17 PM

#

Well you got that center thing colored

#

Now gotta find the other stuff

#

I guess they could also be reversed tho, because I see a lot of starting colors by ff

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 1:18 PM

#

yeah maybe

#

there’s a bunch i’ve seen

#

wait for me

#

i’m taking a walk

#

i think i’m super close

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 1:19 PM

#

Like I'm looking at the lower part of the function since it looks like the one with the blue colors bc we got the center there??

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 1:19 PM

#

hot cliff wait for me

Yeaah dw I'll be playing p3fes

#

Can't believe I'm ending the game for the first time lmao (the journey part tho)

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 1:20 PM

#

yeah there’s a million other color references i saw

#

a lot of them started with ff

#

but for some reason the functions were unlabeled / undocumented

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 1:21 PM

#

Yeah probably they are not very used in many places so Swine couldnt document them at the time

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 1:25 PM

#

yeah it’s probably due to the moving and fading

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 1:26 PM

#

Yup the whole animation

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 1:27 PM

#

my only concern though right

#

is that if i read the color forwards it’s red

#

if i read it backwards it’s blue

#

unless that’s intentional

#

i hope i don’t have to make my colors opposites

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 1:29 PM

#

Yeah but looking at the upper part there are some colors that look blue even though reading them backwards are red

#

So its probably a matter of reversing them and that should be it

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:03 PM

#

back from my walk

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:04 PM

#

Lol just started looking in the psp code

#

Was considerably easy to find since you found the function in pc

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:04 PM

#

nice

#

alright what colors specifically look blue to you

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:05 PM

#

Was testing that just now and seems our theory was correct

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:05 PM

#

these?

#

#

oh?

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:05 PM

#

At least the font of the "Player Advantage" text has the color reversed

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:06 PM

#

hot cliff

So might be similar with this one for example

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:07 PM

#

ff666f is still red

#

ff6f66 is also red

#

so maybe not all of them

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:08 PM

#

huh true, should not always be

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:08 PM

#

?

#

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:09 PM

#

Lol in my case I have player advantage on top and enemy advantage at the bottom contrary to pc XDD

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:09 PM

#

weird lol

#

ok so 151fff is blue

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:09 PM

#

hot cliff ?

Huh this looks interesting yeaah

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:09 PM

#

so this must be the right function

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:10 PM

#

Hmm weirdly enough its not stopping there for some reason

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:10 PM

#

oh really?

#

hm weird

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:10 PM

#

At least for me

#

Lemme double check

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:11 PM

#

i still feel like changing it just because

#

yeah triple check

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:12 PM

#

Seems to be stopping in an upper one which looks similar

#

#

Seems to be the main square behind the player advantage thing

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:13 PM

#

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:13 PM

#

Yup that one looks like it

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:14 PM

#

weird

#

the color doesn't seem right

#

unless i'm doing it wrong

#

and ff is the alpha

#

wait it is

#

shit

#

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:14 PM

#

Nice!!

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:14 PM

#

ok also seems correct

#

just need to hook that now

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:15 PM

#

Think I'm gonna start with the patch before I forget any value lol

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:15 PM

#

shit how do i change this value femcmad

#

#

is it the XMMs?

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:16 PM

#

Yeah I'm finding the value for psp as well, seems it's kinda hidden might be being loaded earlier??

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:17 PM

#

yeah maybe

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:17 PM

#

hot cliff

Considering it is used two times as an argument and looking at the asm might be XMM9 right??

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:19 PM

#

this is gonna sound dumb, but where 😭

#

oh xmm9 is set somewhere else

#

weird

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:20 PM

#

Yeah in psp it is also weirdly done lol, I'm searching for it

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:20 PM

#

lol

#

right there

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:20 PM

#

Great naothumbsup

#

Found it as well I think

#

What color are we going for btw??

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:24 PM

#

i'm going for a temporary hot pink color

#

FC 43 EE

#

we need some hot pink up in this bitch

#

testing time!

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:24 PM

#

hot cliff FC 43 EE

All right, will use this for now then

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:25 PM

#

ITS PINK

#

MOSTLY

#

LEMME GET A SCREENIE

#

#

there we go

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:26 PM

#

Uuuuuuh very nice femc

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:26 PM

#

i wonder what that other blue part is for then

#

ok time for the text?

#

did you already find that?

#

you mentioned something about that earlier

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:28 PM

#

Yeah think I found it before

#

Think it was this iirc

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:29 PM

#

alright ill look for it

#

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#

that seems wildly different

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:31 PM

#

Think there is something similar in mine before yeah

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:31 PM

#

ok so not that?

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:31 PM

#

So may need to be changed from some locations

#

Or maybe it's a register like this last one and it gets reused

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:32 PM

#

hot cliff

In my case only one rectangle got replaced 😭

#

Gotta find the reference to the other

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:32 PM

#

oh it's a little farther down

#

i just replaced the XMM9 references and it got both

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:33 PM

#

hot cliff i just replaced the XMM9 references and it got both

If only psp had these optimizations 😭

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:33 PM

#

i think this is it

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:33 PM

#

Oh well it's just finding it in other location

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:33 PM

#

it's the only other ff8266 reference in the function

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:33 PM

#

hot cliff i think this is it

Def looks like it

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:34 PM

#

yup that's blue

#

ff66af replacement color

#

wait

#

this definitely isn't the text then

#

because it's blue

#

wonder what it is then

#

time to test

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:37 PM

#

I got the two squares on my end now

#

I'll go to the text now or whatever it is XDD

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:37 PM

#

ok it is the text

#

im gonna leave that one be honestly

#

looks bad as pink

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:38 PM

#

Maybe we can make it soft pink

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:38 PM

#

yeah

#

you got a color suggestion?

#

needs to be visible

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:39 PM

#

Huh not sure right now

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:39 PM

#

are you talking the diamond, the glow, or the text?

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:39 PM

#

the text

#

needs to be visible on the hot pink diamond

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:39 PM

#

hot cliff

before it was blue ish

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:39 PM

#

how does stock P3P look?

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:39 PM

#

needs to be pink ish but not obnoxious

#

i replied to an image of it

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:40 PM

#

well I mean like including the diamond and glow. aren't they both blue in stock?

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:40 PM

#

yeah

#

trying to find an image one sec

#

best is this from the steam achievement

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:41 PM

#

hmmm

#

are you set on whatever that pink is for the player advantage diamond

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:42 PM

#

Nah those are provisional for now

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:42 PM

#

yeah no no colors are set

#

they can be changed easily via the expatch

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:42 PM

#

I was kinda thinking, you could make the diamond more of a reddish color, and then keep the text as is - the diamond is darker which would make the text a bit more readable

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:42 PM

#

We could go for a similar ones for the text but in pink like this one #ff66cc

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:43 PM

#

here's the current one

📎 omegaultracheat.expatch

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:43 PM

#

I'm on my phone, can't exactly look lol

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:43 PM

#

wanton wyvern I was kinda thinking, you could make the diamond more of a reddish color, and th...

text is still gonna be blue so we're gonna need to replace both

#

oh sorry lol

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:43 PM

#

or test really

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:43 PM

#

just boot up P3P on a windows emulator for android duh

#

come on brawler get with the times

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:43 PM

#

hot cliff ok it is the text

I should clarify, leave the text like this

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:43 PM

#

oh

#

and make the diamond red?

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:43 PM

#

hot cliff just boot up P3P on a windows emulator for android duh

is that... even a thing? lol

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:43 PM

#

yeah

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:44 PM

#

hot cliff and make the diamond red?

yes

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:44 PM

#

ive seen it before

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:44 PM

#

pretty sure my phone would die if I tried that lol

#

that's fun though

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:44 PM

#

?

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:44 PM

#

Only problem with that is that it might look too similar to the enemy?? Should be better to differenciate a bit from that, dont remember how enemy one looks tho

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:44 PM

#

darker?

#

more red?

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:44 PM

#

oh true

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:44 PM

#

yeah enemy advantage is red lol

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:44 PM

#

I forgot about enemy advantage

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:44 PM

#

yeah so pink it is then

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:45 PM

#

just don't get ambushed AdachiTrue

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:45 PM

#

Skill issue lmao

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:45 PM

#

shadows in this game are bullshit compared to P4G imo

#

fuck you mean you can dodge my swing

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:45 PM

#

P3 shadows when you walk up a slight incline:

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:45 PM

#

😔

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:45 PM

#

NaotoFactual

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:46 PM

#

hmmmmm

#

what does enemy advantage look like...

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:46 PM

#

why does google images suck

#

one sec

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:47 PM

#

I'm going to also see what people think femc's colors are to see if there's anything else that can be used... but it's all warm colors iirc

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:47 PM

#

#

very red

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:48 PM

#

pink would look different but it's not as different as blue vs red...

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:48 PM

#

yeah

#

same with orange, her other color i guess

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:49 PM

#

blue really does feel like Makoto's color though lol

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:50 PM

#

yeahhhhh

#

ourple?

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:51 PM

#

Yeah that'd make it more different to the enemy one although its not 100% femc color

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:51 PM

#

two ways to go about this then

go with the FEMC theming, make it pink/orange, lose some visual clarity
prioritize visual clarity, make it like... green or something (or leave it blue), at the cost of FEMC theming

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:52 PM

#

Purple could be an option even tho not being her colors but close enough

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:53 PM

#

I think purple does still run into the visual clarity issue but yeah

#

this one I think you'd want as a toggle for people who want more visual clarity, are colorblind, etc

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:53 PM

#

wanton wyvern this one I think you'd want as a toggle for people who want more visual clarity,...

Thinking about that yeah you are right

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:53 PM

#

probably everything will be a toggle

#

once we work out how to make it into a code mod

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:54 PM

#

try e800d9 for the diamond?

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:54 PM

#

we can easily make each part of the PSP mod a toggle considering it's just cheats

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:54 PM

#

Yeah can always make more versions of the same cheat, it's all commented

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:54 PM

#

hot cliff once we work out how to make it into a code mod

I'll try to look into it tonight, hopefully we can get it solved by then. really hoping it isn't too complex but as soon as I get home I'll ping sniwe and we can get going from there

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:55 PM

#

ehhhhhhhhhhhhh

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:56 PM

#

Actually this purple??? 🤔

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:56 PM

#

oh shit there we go

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:56 PM

#

ooooo

#

good idea

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:56 PM

#

i forgot about that

#

hex code?

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:56 PM

#

hot cliff hex code?

Dont know, can look it with the psp sprite debugger tho

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:56 PM

#

i got it don't worry

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 3:56 PM

#

you can also just color pick to get the hex code

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:57 PM

#

5d0043

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:57 PM

#

93, 0, 67 it is

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:57 PM

#

wanton wyvern you can also just color pick to get the hex code

Yeah but screenshots always tend to alter the color a bit

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:57 PM

#

color picked screenshot also got 93 0 67

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 3:58 PM

#

Uh nice then lol

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 3:59 PM

#

why is it so hard to get player advantage on scared shadows

#

that looks incredible

#

i like that a lot actually

#

good idea ivan

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:00 PM

#

hot cliff why is it so hard to get player advantage on scared shadows

Lmao I have the power of save states

#

Think it's far away enough from red

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:00 PM

#

same\

#

text color then?

#

the inside of the selection menu?

#

ff7fd3?

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:01 PM

#

Yeah might be a good idea

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:02 PM

#

yeah that's perfect

#

i like that a lot haha

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 4:02 PM

#

hmmmm

#

I'm a little mixed on it, I think the purple is just a little too dark

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:03 PM

#

But with the pink lighting I think it looks good right??

#

It gives the light there

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:03 PM

#

yeah i think it's fine as is

#

i probably just caught it on a bad frame

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 4:03 PM

#

it just looks a little weird to look at compared to the default and enemy advantage

#

maybe

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:03 PM

#

That as well 😅

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 4:04 PM

#

also that expanding square around it is still blue, are you still trying to figure that one out?

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:04 PM

#

yeah lol

#

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:05 PM

#

Like how it looks, let's see how it is with the last stuff left...

#

I gotta do the lightning yet for the psp version

#

What was the color of that again??

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:05 PM

#

the text or the square?

#

ff7fd3

#

for the text

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:06 PM

#

Like the first circle of pink i mean

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:06 PM

#

5d0043 for the square

#

oh uh

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:06 PM

#

Think it's the first value you found

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:06 PM

#

79 something something

#

one sec

#

255, 0, 121

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:07 PM

#

Right naothumbsup

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 4:09 PM

#

I think I wanna look at the full animation at some point bc I do still feel the diamond is too dark but maybe it looks better in motion

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:09 PM

#

lemme test the final thing and then ill send the updated expatch

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:09 PM

#

Yeah we can make it a little bit less dark if it's not looking that good at the end

#

We gotta find the spot

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:11 PM

#

ok got it

#

i found the outline

#

man did i not get a screenshot in time

#

#

#

all pink!

#

📎 omegaultracheat.expatch

#

i reused the text color for the outline because they reference the same color @graceful pawn

#

outline code looks like this btw

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:16 PM

#

Thanks!! Will find it for psp

#

I'm still with the lightning

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:16 PM

#

hot cliff

Niceeee femc every color found

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:20 PM

#

hot cliff 255, 0, 121

Are you sure the lightning color was that one?? Looking like this here

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:22 PM

#

uhhhhhh

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:22 PM

#

Wait might be a cheat problem

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:22 PM

#

yeah sounds like it

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:22 PM

#

I'ma check

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:23 PM

#

you can look at the expatch to get the hex codes

#

I'm not very familiarized with the format 😅

But was a me issue now it's fixed

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:27 PM

#

nice

#

lemme see

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:28 PM

#

Now it's showing the correct color for the lightning

#

They changed the font between pc and psp?? Lol

#

Now I'll find the outter squares so I can have all the colors in one place

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:30 PM

#

weird it seems so

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 4:40 PM

#

wouldn't be the first time, P4G did the same thing

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:40 PM

#

Interesting

wanton wyvern Aug 12, 2024, 4:41 PM

#

I'm not sure if there were changes from P4G Vita to 32 but there were definitely changes from 32 to 64

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:48 PM

#

@graceful pawn found one more blue thing

#

the summoning smoke during the evoker animations

#

i'm looking into the bed files now

#

it's one of these i know

📎 HATUDO_E.BED 📎 HATUDO_K.BED 📎 HATUDO_P.BED 📎 HATUDO_H.BED 📎 HATUDO_S.BED

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:50 PM

#

Oh you wanna change those as well?? Like the ground blue effect??

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:50 PM

#

yeah

#

it's totally possible

#

other mods have done it to be red

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

Yeah should be possible

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

ok it's definitely HATUDO_S

#

try and see if you can get the hex code for it

#

fixed file, other one is broken

📎 HATUDO_S.BED

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:55 PM

#

Btw can we make text and square outlines color to be #EE43FF??

#

I need that ff or the cheat would need more space

#

Not needed for the text but to make it consistent I mean

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:56 PM

#

yeah sure

#

done and dusted, change made

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:58 PM

#

Looks like this (so hard to screenshot this lol)

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:58 PM

#

no worries lol

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:58 PM

#

hot cliff done and dusted, change made

Great hee_approves

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:58 PM

#

looks fine to me

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:59 PM

#

Now we are 1:1 with the pc patch and psp patch nice

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 4:59 PM

#

nice

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 4:59 PM

#

I'll send the patch

#

Here you go 😉

📎 ULUS10512.ini

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:00 PM

#

nice

#

i'm looking in the same spots for the summoning effect and can't find anything reminiscient of a color

#

maybe it's in a different spot

#

how does that color debugging thing work btw?

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

It's in Debug > GE Debugger on PPSSPP

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

neat

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

You can hover any part of the current frame and will tell you the color

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

oh?

#

that's cool

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 5:02 PM

Having this tho

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:03 PM

#

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 5:03 PM

#

We can just make a diff with the original files

#

And see where did the edition happened lol

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:03 PM

#

oh true

#

how does one do that again haha

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

In linux there was a command to do the diff but not sure how to do it on windows

#

There should be something

#

Oh wait

#

Think it was cmp??

#

And told you the first byte it changed

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

damn not a windows command

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 5:05 PM

#

True

#

Wonder what it was then

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:05 PM

#

#

I think it was also possible with 010 editor

#

It's in Tools > Compare files

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:07 PM

#

damn there's a lot of differences

#

like wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too many

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 5:08 PM

#

True...

#

Probably because it's a more elaborated animation

#

But there are things that look definetely like colors dont you think??

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:08 PM

#

you have 010?

#

or should i send screenies?

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

hot cliff you have 010?

Yeah I have it

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

alrighty

#

time to check everything for a color

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

This for example looks clearly like a color

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

#

#

#

top is a red color, bottom is a blue color

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

Yeah right??

#

Looks very similar to .epls tbh

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

crazy

#

there are a lot of colors here though

#

this might be hard to make entirely pink

#

lemme write out all the colros so we can get our resident expert on it

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 5:13 PM

#

Not everything looks like a color tho

#

So yeah watch out with that

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:13 PM

#

010648, 2E069B, 29BADE, 7E06FF, 4AF6F6

#

hot cliff 010648, 2E069B, 29BADE, 7E06FF, 4AF6F6

This is in the original right??

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:13 PM

#

true

#

yeah

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 5:13 PM

#

Right

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:13 PM

#

in the original

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 5:13 PM

#

You can try changing some and see the effect it has in game

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:15 PM

#

yeah

#

there's way too many to change though

#

there's a bunch of 29BADE and 7E06FF

#

so i guess i could start there

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

Yeaaah

graceful pawn Aug 12, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

graceful pawn Looks like this (so hard to screenshot this lol)

Btw I think we should make the text color lighter so it's more readable

#

At least in psp it's not very readable

#

In pc it looks more white

#

But we can check this stuff later

hot cliff Aug 12, 2024, 5:24 PM

#

#

WORKS!
