[Closed] [PS2] How to replace selection screen pics

[OrKAdoS]

First of all you need to have the selection pics(download link below)
Then let's understand some things:
SSFA=SF2A= Are the ones that are shown where you can select arena, match options, etc
SSFB=SF2B= Are the ones that are shown in the match selection menu
SSFC=SF2D= Are the ones that apeear in creation menus(story, entrances, etc)
SSFD= Are the small ones that are shown at the match selection menu(Only at SvR 11)

Now, let's begin.
Extract the downloaded file with the selection pics.
Then open PLISTPS2.ARC and MENU.PAC with a Hex Editor.
After it open the selection pic that you wanna add in hex, let's use Tazz as example, as Tazz id is 173, you should open 00AD.MTP2(that is his corresponding number in hex)
then copy it and past at the end of the MENU.PAC
Calculate his Offset and size.

REMEMBER: Offset = (Offset/800)-8 [In Hex]
Size = (Size/100)+1 [Calculate in decimal and convert to hex after it]
After it reverse the results.
If you didn't understood check out Andy original post:

Spoiler: click to toggle:

Calculation of XX and YY:

Here X and Y denotes a byte and represents a pair of numbers.

XX=((Offset)/800 -8)

Suppose offset is D000 so divide it by 800 and then subtract 8 from it.You will obtain 12 as the result.
XX=1200

YY=(Size/100)+1

Suppose the size you obtained is 4432.Divide it by 100.You will obtain 44 and then add 1.So YY=4500.

Better Example:

Suppose offset is 2313800.You will obtain XX=461F.But you will not write this as 461F but will write as 1F46
because it reads from right to left.
And suppose size is 5083.You will obtain YY=51.You will write YY as 5100 as it would then only be read as 51.

After you discover XX and YY values find out the id of the character that you wanna trade the pic. I will use William Regal as example.
So Regal id is 117. Then search in the MENU.PAC for the regal id(in SSFA section first). You should find something like this 0117....
Then replace XX and YY after it.
then make the same thing in PLISTPS2.ARC

Just save the files and rebuild your .iso
Done! Changed selection pics

Important: Use only the corresponding files SSFA - SF2A and to replace the other files like SSFB use the same method.

Thanks for Andy's Tutorial

Do you really need to update also the MENU.PAC file? When this is done for adding models updating plistps2.arc is enough.

Since you left out credits to andy and the original tutorial, here it is for those interested: http://s4.zetaboards.com/Old_Skool_Reuni...&t=8726082

And thanks for compiling this.

i don't think you need to update menu.pac anyway.. it isn't too much trouble.
and about credits the only thing that i picked up from him was the SSFA and SF2A things(althought the order was wrong)... all the rest i tried by myself. but if you think it need credits anyway i'll give it.
and about adding, i haven't tried it as you don't need in SvR 11, but it may be the same way as adding model, but with the selection pictures data in arc

It's possible to add characters as divas right on 2011?

On another note... Guess what I'm working on for the editor...

[Cue]

selection pics?

[80las]

I hope MaiCue is right ! Selection pics can be a great addition !
Thanks Nike for your efforts !

Darn, it will be more work than I thought. I must redesign it a bit because of how I coded it before.

i see ... but if you can make it so we can add models like in 2k10 it will rock ...
