Community Projects Random Thoughts

[Giorgio]

In Shenmue 1, \SCENE\01\TOKI. That's the folder with the cinematics in Russiya China Shop. There are two sequential data BIN files. "SEQDATA2.BIN" is the one about translating the letter. However. There is also another one, "SEQDATA3.BIN". That is either a leftover (that should better be in another disc), or an old/beta/unused cinematic. When you replace in the MAPINFO.BIN references of SEQDATA2 to SEQDATA3, then it plays that cinematic of the latter. But, it doesn't have motion, voice and subtitles data. It does have lip syncing data, though.

Furthermore, you can see a lot of these lines in BIN files like MAPINFO or SEQDATA, for example:
/p16/prj16m5/AUTH01/01HOK/SE/foot/Akirafoot1a.aiff
/p16/prj16m5/AUTH01/01HOK/SE/cloths2/furimuki_n01.aiff (furimuki = turning around)

This seems like a path [leading to a (Sound Effect) file]. But you can't find anywhere a path like this in the data folder.

There is a "M_01HOK.BIN" file (which part of its prefix is "01HOK", like the one in the path above) in the TOKI folder. It seems is a file about motion data, and you will see references like:
AKI_AT1_KIKU_HOUOUKYOU_HOKKYOKUSEI_0100 (AKI = Ryo, KIKU = ask?, HOUOUKYOU = Phoenix Qiang(?), HOKKYOKUSEI = North star)
SIN_SIN_STAND (SIN is Shenhua)
etc
How these references relate to data of the file, I don't know yet.

These must be leftovers for the cutscene where Ryo shows Xia-san the phoenix mirror, wich is on disc 2.
It has all that stuff about the north star and Shenhua in it.

This is quite possibly the worst place to have a disorganised topic. The community projects forum serves as as a resource above all else, and having such a disorganised mess as a topic with "random" in the title will inevitably become - through it's own nature alone - serves to benefit absolutely no one but those who happen to be involved in a self-contained conversation hidden between several self-contained conversations.

This is a genuinely bad idea, and is at odds with the streamlined forum format that Yama put into place.

I agree Random thoughts and theorys about the games is one thing but when it comes to Model & Project information there are too many variants to discuss

Random thoughts with specific headings would be better such as
Thoughts On MT5/MT7 Model Structure
viewtopic.php?f=37&t=48869
Thoughts On Animation
Thoughts On Texture Import Export

People rarely create threads in Community Projects so if you have something to say its worth posting seperately.
Also MiTT3NZ is your signature implying that the upcoming terrible Superman V Batman movie is somehow equal in anticipation to Shenmue 3?

[MiTT3NZ]

My signature implies nothing. It outright says that Shenmue III pales in comparison to a potentially classic film called Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice to me.

[BlueMue]

I don't know if this has been discovered before, but I found a way to move some stuff and people around in Shenmue.

I still don't completely understand how everything works but things like these can be achieved by editing RAM:





Not everything and everyone can be moved though , like buildings and etc. I will post how to do it when I get my thoughts together. Maybe it could be useful for mods?

[ShenGCH]

I don't know why, but the fourth picture made me burst out laughing

[BlueMue]

Man, the architect responsible for Sakuragaoka must've been drunk as hell.

[ReeceKun]

Ever wondered what kind of underwear Ryo wears ?

A stranger arrives from a distant land looking for a job... he was told there was work at the harbour.

[Jibby]

Is that the new Shenmue III Ryo model?
