RED MC iff Editing is Live - Tutorials and FYI

[JaoSming]

In case you didn't see the new post in the sticky.


After saving with RED MC iff files will NOT open in the 3DM, 2Kx, or any other iff editor. They are recompressed so hex editing will not work either.

Workarounds
If you save a file in RED MC that needs to have hex edits done to it,
if you have the license to export/import you can export to rmce (red m c export) which is uncompressed. Hex edit and reimport.

If you save a file in RED MC that needs to have model edits done to it
Open the original iff file with the model you need to edit and do whatever model edits that are needed. Import the model with 3DM or 2Kx and then open the second file in RED MC. Either redo any texture or other RED MC edits to the file, or if you have the rmce license, export the SCNE with your model and import it into the already-saved file.



Number and Name Textures in Uniform Files
can NOT have their sizes changed. We could not figure this one out due to how the game maps the textures to the uniform.

Licenses have changed
For iff files it looks like Vlad has 2 licenses, one that expires after a year and another that is lifetime. Just be informed.

Jao I was wondering with our new functions I know we have the ability to add numbers to the shorts in reditor as its now a function but I was wondering if we now have the ability to MOVE them to wherever on the shorts we want for I find for accurate retro shorts that the numbers most times are on the right leg not the default left which kinda has it sitting on logos in most cases. Secondly as far as replacing scenes is concerned I tried to replace a current stadium basket with a retro stadium basket but when I went to load the game after saving you have a court and no basket or stadium seats. Was wondering have you encountered anything like that as I was trying to make a retro 90s celts stadium (RIGHT UP YOUR ALLEY LOL) thx for the tuts

moving numbers around isnt supported because we couldnt find the exact location of those parameters, but they are located within the jersey_floor scne file

for the second one try again with a clean unmodded file. things that got screwey for me was usually due to uncompressed files.
