Hex code missing

 

[fafadou]

I didn't find the codes for Kazenban version thanks
I'll add them in the french readme.txt

On the videos, it is best to leave them as the originals at 3600k, since we do not know if uploading more bitrate will cause problems on the real console, and the profit is not much either.
Also on cd2, it is not feasible to do so, as this disc is overloaded.

Thanks to explain, could you share your video pack please in order to check and update if it needs the french version ?

@truemaster : If we don't have to patch the first rdx to have the FP view, we don't have to patch any rdx.
I must do something wrong simply.
I'll try on the beginning of the first disc like you and when I'll have the tricks I'll try again on cd 2.
Else if it really doesn't work on cd2, I'll request to yzb to have a look on it.

 

[truemaster]

@fafadou the fp will work on both cds. but i just found out that this bug is not only on ybz work but on gamecube too.

 

[fafadou]

It's ok for me for disc 1 but still nothing for disc 2... maybe it's because my saves were done before the FP patch.
I'm telling him the issue..

 

[truemaster]

a normal save is just the location, unless is a save state. a save state save the last memory values too so unless that is clear any change will not get into play. also try to activate the fp in different map on disc 2 maybe youre in map that this cant be done. just like 1st disc before you use the lighter.
edit @fafadou i test it on disc 2 on 4 different maps and yes its not working.

 

[Pitito]

Sorry for the delay, but here you have my sfd

[truemaster]

great work @Pitito ive try the video pack and is exacly as you said more light in the video that shows more detail compared to the dark dc ones.

 

[fafadou]

Thanks @Pitito amazing job as always !

No news from yzb...
you can try to contact him here by a PM if you want.

how to use sh4dis.exe

I will be away from home in July, I'll wait a little and I"ll do my release like this.
It's an awesome feature but like @truemaster I'm tired I'm really want to finish.

 

[truemaster]

from what i can undreastand ybz take the recvx action replay code from gamecube and make it permant by injecting it to dc cvx 1st bin. and from the look of it he didnt improve it, im not speeking about disc 2 maybe he forgot to mention something. but if hes busy it may take long before revisit his old hack. but if he improve the code and things like missing lighting and textures be no more then i will release 2 pathes. one that will only improve the sfd videos and one that will have the first person and the improved videos. @fafadou if you have a working game just insert the sfd and release. no reason to wait ybz. he may fix it tomorrow or next year.

Patch on both discs.

Please verify that all FMVs are shown in full screen, include the credits.

 

[fafadou]

Oh whaouh !
How did you do this please ?
Simply brilliant you make smile again with your video pack but now I have a very huge smile !

To come back about yzb :
I notice on his readme with the chinese version of RECVX this :
"4 increase in 2 sets of Claire clothes (by cptPauer), count the original 2 sets, Claire a total of 4 sets of clothes
Using the method: after starting a new game or reading the archive screen, press L or L+R or R to have 3 different sets of clothes. "
I guess it didn't include this our version but I just want simply if it's possible to have those skin in real game and how please ?

In the first disc the selection of FP or TP is in RM_5500.rdx I give a shot adding this rdx on disc 2.

[EDIT] I don't know for you, but I don't find the yzb second disc all links are dead...

 

[truemaster]

ive tested the no bar fix on real dc. its working but only when an sfd video is played. all other cutscenes are bared. but seriously now since this a (new game) people may see the videos for once or two. then most people do speedruns and for score good time videos must skipped. what i meen is is the effort for this worth?

 

[fafadou]

I understand your feeling, but I'am of those who take his time and appreciate the story.
So having a no FMV black bar is truly appreciate

 

[truemaster]

yes is something all right. but converting gamecube video to dc specs is hardly an effort 5 min job. but trying to mess with values on appropriate memory addresses and come with hex replace is a seriously time consuming and im just wondering if this kind of effort is really worh thats all. first person hack its another story though, having a second choice how to play in addition that experince will be different. its an effort well worth the time

 

[fafadou]

He answers me

 

[truemaster]

good that meens he will look at it and propably fix it. im not a fan of first person at least on cv. but one playthrough fully first person i will definetly do

 

[Pitito]

Oh whaouh !

Simply brilliant you make smile again with your video pack but now I have a very huge smile !

I have only been looking for resolutions of the videos in hex, until I have found them

 

[fafadou]

You have a very good skill now for finding the hex values numbers to patch !
I'm thinking about synchro in rdx, the typewriter speed, and finally this one.

You run an emulator with cheat engine that's it ?


No news yet from yzb I also request him to add the 4 sets of clothes for Claire. We'll see.

Yes, I use cheat engine and look for possible values, and you are editing in real time and you see what effects they have.
Although many times it freezes or you have to edit the value as soon as the sega logo passes.

For example, this is how I have narrowed the text in RECVX, how to synchronize videos with subtitles, editing menus so that it is centered, etc, etc ...
Many things you do in real time, once you like the result, you copy the values to paste them in the bin.

 

[truemaster]

yeah @Pitito is great. look on those games he translated full spanish. the cheat engine part i know it on theory. never had any success with it. also i know in theory again the demul save state function can be life saver, make a save state before messing with values and if something goes wrong reload the working state.
