Hey, guys. Have you ever opened up a game's files and looked through them to see what you could find? Movies, music, models, textures, sprites, etc? The other day, I pirated the .vpk Vita file of Persona 4 Golden and then accessed the contents inside out of curiosity. I found a bunch of mp4 videos of not only Golden's cutscenes, but also the cutscenes of the original game, a few songs performed live at a concert, some commercials, and other stuff.

Most of the videos came in the size of 960x540, so it was nice to watch them at their native resolution. Not stretched up to 1920x1080 nor shrunk down to a smaller size.

And then I tried to see if I could also access a few sprites (namely, the character portraits) from those files as well. Ho. Lee. Shit. Was that ever frustrating as fuck. I had to figure how to assess the contents of a .cpk file, then had to figure how to turn the .bin files inside into crisp png images. It was a massive chore, but I finally managed to rip the sprites out myself. You don't know how much my appreciation for people who rip game sprites directly from old games has gone up. This shit is difficult to do.

Anyways, here are two of the Chie pics I ripped out myself. Apparently, for some P4G images, if you turn off the alpha channel completely, you can see even more of the image that was hidden underneath.

This what my last two days have been like. Just me, trying to the assess the content of Persona 4 Golden's files. So how about you guys? Ever opened up a game's files and found anything interesting?

Invidious embed. Click thumbnail to play.

Mostly just surfing around file structures in GameCube/Wii games for music for my own use. Haven't really found anything interesting since that's so easy, but I did realize Radiant Dawn was meant to have trial maps (since this has the same name format as Path of Radiance's trial map theme) where most people just notice this was unused and there's a lot of the Japanese voice acting on the English disc.

I looked through some files for Rome 2 and realized that the game still contains references to fucking Empire. I guess cleaning up your files isn't a high priority these days. To say nothing of Bethesda games, where it is EXPECTED that you clean out the engine and scripts before installing mods.

I used to do that with most games I played. Probably my favorite was going down the rabbit hole that was C&C: Renegade. So much planned content and ideas that never made the cut, as well as things that were hinted at in game files that I had wild ideas about what they could be.

Some shit like

>A less linear class system

>Ability to command AI soldiers/vehicles

>Playable mutants accessed via a special purchase terminal, probably a tech structure

>Tons of game modes

etc. Really a ton of potential for a game and concept that just went down the tube. I'm still upset about it, and want to make a proper spiritual successor one day that fulfills all the ideas I had in my head as to "what it could have been like" (even if most of that was just made up in my own head). Too bad I'm a talentless hack whose only skill is procrastinating

Vanilla WoW has sound files for an Orca that weren't used til Wrath of the Lich King (if even that, they're not high quality, but I don't remember if they wound up using them or not. I just know that there weren't orca mobs in the game til Wrath). Vanilla WoW also has sound files for player roars, and those were at least partly used when they finally gave the /roar command an actual sound file associated with it, in wrath/cataclysm. Some of them weren't (the dwarf female roar in the vanilla files sounds like the undead female roar in retail. TThis is all I remember finding when looking through the mpq files for the vanilla game a long time ago.

Yes, especially if the game itself has modding tools.

>Atomic Bomberman

Comes with a built-in level editor, and also sprite and audio tools. As far as cut contnet there's unused idle animations and also a ton of unused voice clips with some of them actually swearing. They also planned a traditional Bomberman mode where you kill enemies and such, but it's very unfinished, you access it with a particular key combination like the level editor.

>Rise of the Triad

A lot of the game's resources are in the goodies folder, plus some silly photographs of the developers.

>Duke Nukem 2

This one I actually reverse engineered its CMP file (it's similar to Doom's WAD format) to find its music tracks, and then had to futz with the length of each sample because playing it back was too slow or fast. That game's soundtrack is so underrated, and surprisingly lively compared to the more ambient one in Duke Nukem 3D.

>Doom

I did do map editing and other stuff a while ago. Also a lot of Doom mods include surprises if you look into their PK3/WAD with the most ridiculous to me being High Noon Drifter including lore entries for all its items, which aren't exposed anywhere else.

Noesis and QuickBMS can make easy work of most modern shit.

You can use texture/asset dumping programs like TexMod or NinjaRipper to forced mode and dump all textures when they are loaded from most DirectX9 game as well as most emulators that use DirectX.

NinjaRipper can also rip models but doesn't rip bones as well, so its not that useful unless you are find with making a skeleton for it.

I messed up a little in the OP. Most of Golden's mp4 videos are actually 960x544 in their native resolution. Not 960x540.

>>16700458

I never used void.cat before or know how to. I do have a mega.nz account, but I also never shared anything before. That said, if you really want those raw videos (about 1.14 GB overall and 51 videos in total), I'll see if I can share them via void.cat or mega.nz.

(After you upload something on void.cat, do you just post the whole url to share it? Wouldn't that be like 51 urls I have to post?)

Anyways, I actually only ripped out a select few P4G sprites (mostly of the girls in their bikinis and towels :^) ) out of the 1500+ images in that game. But don't worry, someone else has already uploaded all of them onto here:

https://www.spriters-resource.com/playstation_vita/persona4golden/

The sprites I ripped out are the exact same as theirs because I was following the uploaders' forum posts and methods to achieve the same results myself. These uploaders were also the same people who made Persona 3/4 modding a possibility and have a wiki dedicated to modding those game's files. A small modding community I didn't know existed until a few days ago.

>>16701896

>Noesis and QuickBMS can make easy work of most modern shit

Yeah. I'm barely realizing just how powerful those two tools are if you know how to use them. Just yesterday, they greatly helped me in exporting out Mega Man 11's textures as png images.

>I do casual model ripping, though I often just follow other peoples steps

Same here. It's much easier when someone else has already done the legwork and left forum posts on how they did it.

Forum posts are how I figured out how to turn Persona 4 Golden's .bin files into png images. And now, they're helping me in my quest to get Mega Man 11's cute Roll model. I got her textures so far, but not the 3d model itself.

- A tool that extracts files from Mega Man 11's .arc files

https://zenhax.com/viewtopic.php?t=8676

- Mega Man 11's textures come in a .tex format (which can't be viewed in Noesis).

QuickBMS and this custom bms script can turn those .tex files into .dds files,

which can be viewed in Noesis and then export those textures into png images.

https://www.vg-resource.com/thread-34368-post-648874.html#pid648874

- Mega Man 11's 3d models and animations don't come in typical formats like .fbx or .obj files.

Capcom used something called "MT Framework" to create Mega Man 11 and its models/animations have weird format names

(like .mod/.mrl for the 3d models, .lmt for the animations) which Noesis can't recognize.

However, those models/animations can still be imported into 3ds Max (2017) with this maxscript.

I'm just waiting for the next AGDG thread to ask them an important question regarding 3ds Max.

I tore through the files of the girls before playing Doki Doki Literature Club. Went in with high hopes that they had something to do with the game and the developer thought of every possible scenario I could fuck with the game, but it turned out it was just a bunch of viral marketing bullshit for an unannounced project and that none of your choices or where and when you remove the girls files from the folders really matters.

this is a good thread, and relevant because I've just seen the complete polar opposite.

Find "mods" (aka hex edit cheats for a game) videos for a game, there's no info so I look at their little forum they've made to circlejerk themselves, and unsurprisingly they're just a bunch of elitist pricks that won't detail their methods or even release their actual mods in any capacity (sorry, but this 1 minute clip on yt with 1k views is all you'll get!). It's a really bad case of fake intellectual superiority, and has probably stagnated any actual complex mods for the game.

I'm definitely mad enough to try to learn it myself to show them up, but would there be any essential sources of info I would need on hex edits? I got some basic info about it and it seems I would need to use cheatengine and HxD.


71f8a9  No.16709488

>>16709216

Some communities are like that. I hear SimCity 4000 is a particularly gross example of a mod community. For all its faults, Doom mostly avoids this where its community like to help each other out. It's not uncommon for larger ones to have a credit list a page or so long. It helps that most of the core scripting languages are plaintext (ACS is an exception but even that has decompilers) and the majority of the tools are open source. A few mods even use proper VCSes such as Git. I think that aspect alone needs to become more commonplace, at least for the scripting. It's not a good idea to use Git for binary files since I don't think it "diff"s them and so every different copy gets stored in the history.

I really like the sprite work and portraits for Breath of Fire III and IV for Playstation. I have absolutely no idea how to rip shit though. I got jpsxdec and am trying to get things out of BoFIV but only the first bin extracts properly into anything, and then the only thing that's immdiately usuable is the opening video, some sound effects, and all the battle voices in the game. Everything else is EMI files that I don't know what to do with. I've seen from >>16706350 that https://www.spriters-resource.com actually already has the sprites for BoFIV, but they're all grouped by character/monster into giant sprite sheets that I'd still have to manually cut up in order to make animations out of them. Also, they're clearly missing a bunch of bosses, and I could swear Ryu had more character portraits than this, so I don't really think their list is even complete. Any guide for retards for turning the EMI files into a usuable list of image and audiofiles?

The DS games are 3D with a set perspective, so using the method of taking a screenshot of each area of the overworld and splicing it together can't be done since the way the game works sprites aren't consistently displayed at the same perspective/size between different zones in the game. A about a year or so ago I went as far to poke around Platinum version in some kind of map viewer specific to these games and I still couldn't figure out how to force a 2D perspective so I can do my project.

That's Ecruteak City, isn't it. Man, I played SoulSilver way too much. I tried putting together a HGSS map from images I swiped from bulbapedia, but the edges didn't align perfectly.

Yes, and sorry for the atrocious quality they're capped from a 480p video. That raises a question of how those images on Bulbapedia were generated, might be fruitful to ask on there.

That example you're doing honestly isn't that bad though, a bit of misalignment here and there isn't going to matter to convey the important stuff.
