Rebuilding the ChEtc.pac

[Undertakerwlf]

Yes, basically I want to know how to know which values to use to extract the bpe files from the chEtc.pac and the xx yy calculations.

Yeah watch arjun the man hexeditng tutorial you can found this tutorial on arjun the man megathread

In other words you want to learn how to do what my editor does...

A tip could be to compare a plistps2.arc and chetc.pac that is unedited to files that have only been started and saved in the editor. See what values have been changed in a hex editor.

And the Arjun tutorial is pretty good.

in that kind of pac the offset and size is calculated different is not the normal xx and yy calculation that how it works:

you have to add the size of the header to the offset in that case CC2B+the size of the header and the result is where the bpe is

the header starts from "PAC" to the byte before the first "BPE"

anyways better use expert tool is more simple

How did this turn out for you?

What are your plans in the long run? Learning and creating a rebuilt ChEtc.pac for the PS3?
If you just want it on PS2 it is so much easier creating it with SVRedit.

I'm still playing around with it on the PS2 and have not yet worked it out... but I'm using your Editor (which has been a godsend) to start my WWF Legends mod while I'm learning on the side.

And yes you right I figure If I can learn to do it on the PS2 then I can then start to do it on the PS3, I can then continue where I left off modding Legends of Wrestlemania.

did you ever find out how to do thid

[Undertakerwlf]

Nope unfortunatley not. I've now been able to find someone to mod my PS3 so I'll be concentrating on my modding on that system since I can now decrypt PS3 saves I can decrypt the save and alter the names directly on the save.
