Soul Calibur 4
Re: Soul Calibur 4
Perhaps this is the wrong thread, but maybe someone could help me here. I'm trying to figure out how this was achieved. I can only assume that they extracted the individual Pyrrha create a character parts from SCV's ISO/DLC, opened it in a hex editor, changed some values around, renamed it to an existing SCIV create a character part, and repacked the SCIV ISO. Am I correct? Maybe someone who knows more than me could briefly describe the process? I would love to pack an "SCIV.5" ISO containing costume parts from SCV, and potentially the original character alternate costumes.
Which brings me to question number 2. If I understand the file structure of SCV correctly from my fiddling with save data editing, the original character costumes are stored as a single model but also as a costume part-- meaning, when you create an "edit color" for a 1p/2p in SCV, the save data for that character slot contains a hex value for a single 1P/2P model. Could we, in theory, back port the 1p/2p model and use it to replace, for example, a T-Shirt model, so that when the character equips the T-Shirt model, their entire model is swapped to a 1p/2p from SCV? I feel as though that is too simple. Obviously we could back-port 1p/2p models from SCV as long as they are offered as create a character parts (such as Pyrrha 1p, Natsu 2p, Patroklos 1p and 2p, Ivy 1p and 2p etc), but what about those that are not offered as create a character parts?
Sorry for the bump-- I hope someone could answer these questions for me. I'll likely just get both ISOs and start fooling with them and comparing files and whatnot.
