Mod Idea: Shenmue Character Selector

Postby shengoro86 » Tue May 12, 2015 5:54 pm

Hi everyone,

I kind of ran out of mod ideas.

But I had this one in mind.

I started writing a program that will allow you to choose which character model you would like to switch Ryo with, and at which level.

Lately, I have been getting sick of hex editing over and over again just to tackle simple hacks like character swaps.

So here is what it does:
1. You point it to a cdi file that is vanilla.
I will be basing it on the Xiaopang release.
2. You select which map you want to edit Ryo in.
The hex edit is done per map.
3. You select which character you want to use instead
At first, this will be limited to a couple of known working characters.
4. Press Go!

This will then jump into the cdi at hex level and make some edits to the ykb_X variables and there you have it!

If I finish this, would you guys use it?

I would use it allll the time for my projects. I really need something like it in order to quickly rip models, for starters.

I made a tutorial on it. You can use this method to make it work.
