Help with boss style hexes?
« on: March 04, 2012, 11:52:40 AM »
Hey guys sorry if i've put this in the wrong place or whatever. I'm a newbie  :cheernutz:

Anyways, I downloaded a mod before (Russel boss style mod) and when I went into hex editor, it had a new (to me)
code, which went /Global/BOSS_Russell....Act/Anim/BOSS_Russell.act...
Where did you find this? I've searched through the ide.img and I haven't found a hex like that.
Is it in another file? I know a little about it but I'm still learning about the world of modding lol.
Thanks in advance :)

That code can be found in scripts.img . There you can find all the missions fighting styles (specialy boss styles). However you can't simply copy and paste the code from scripts to the ide.

You can't...thats true.

However....

I am working as fast as I can to finish rewriting the converted lua scripts to plain readable lua source code that can be used to do all this far easier and without ever touching ide.img in any way.

All of the game's fighting styles are called via the scripts and can be overridden there too. You can do this via hex for the scripts but I have not finished writing down my detailed list of notes on how to do this since hex  editing the scripts themselves is not a easy task and not for the beginner to just jump in and try without doing some reading first  8)

As a side note...I will be removing all of my currently posted lua script sources from my sticky topic about them and repost all of them with the assembly stuff removed since that part is not needed to use what I have for reference....and the fact the scripts are too large as they are to post in this manner...its going to cause problems with the forum and its database if I keep posting them as is......

That problem only happens with johnny boss style. Oh and johnny boss style is the only fighting style that you can find in the ide.img

that is just what clique they are from....gs = greasers and so forth....tho if I am wrong then feel free to correct me.

Soon as I finish my notes and start some new tutorials on modding the scripts....I will teach everyone how to modify the fighting styles using the scripts and not using ide since the scripts can bypass that totally which is pretty cool.

Considering that I have not yet cracked how the default.idb is generated from default.ide yet.....once that is figured out then even more can be done.

The ones that end in _gs are the gym outfits.

ah, gotcha.

I stand corrected then  :laugh:

I have done very little poking around with the fighting style mods anyways so I need to make note of what is what on that. However tho, I should have the first scripts fully rewritten by tonight and ready for testing and if it works I will release it on the forum and move to the next script.
