Re: SJ1414 Leftos tool and hex editing BETA global released

Here's a quick tutorial based on last year's info: viewtopic.php?f=144&t=83689

This doesn't really apply to this year, but should give you a heads up on how to hex edit.

Then, the values we know so far are:

000040BF 6666863F
E4380E3F 0000803F
9a99193e 0000803E
880E993E 0E2D163F 6C5DEA3D
9A99593F CDCC6C3F
000080BF 00000040
9A99593F 9A99193E
6666A63F 6F12833D
6666E63F 5855D53F
0000803F 3333333F
00000040 000080BF
CDCC4C3F CDCCCC3E

Each of the above lines occurs many times inside the file. Some occur about 15 times, while there's some that occur 200 times. Each hex value represents a floating point number, which is a parameter for the shaders (you can see that because close to each of these and above is a line about a Microsoft Shader). What the global editor does is that it knows at which points inside the global these values occur and letting you change every occurance with another value, to increase or decrease a particular shading effect, tone or hue.

What JohnDoe22 knew better, and tatlopuyo as well as seanjohn1414 are trying right now, is that different occurences of these values apply to different shaders. So you can shade and color light-skinned players differently than dark-skinned, and get the absolute best result.

That's the difference between the easy hex-editing that's done through the tool, and the advanced hex-editing you do manually through Hex Workshop and other similar programs.

If the 3 of them, as well as anybody else who tries the advanced way, can group some occurences together, we can further improve Global Editor by breaking down, say Lighting 5, to light-skinned and dark-skinned occurences. That way you'll be able to edit as much as possible, as easy as possible, through the tool.

But whether that's going to happen anytime soon, remains to be seen.

as of now, im trying to maintaining the skin color of the dark players and making the right color of the skin for pale skin players like west, field, noah, etc...
coz in lighting 5 and 6 when you turn down the values they become like zombies... hope the manual tunning of the values gives them the right skin colors....

HERE'S SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT.

This goes out to all of you guys that are now experimenting with hex-editing the shaders and lighting of the globals.

ALWAYS KEEP A BACKUP OF THE ORIGINAL GLOBAL THAT HAS NONE OF YOUR WORK, AND THEN THE EXACT SAME GLOBAL WITH THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING THAT IT HAS ALL YOUR WORK, ALL YOUR HEX-EDITS.

How's that going to help? The answer is, if either one of you does this, and we have the exact same global with and without the hex-edits, we can easily create a binary patch. A binary patch is a file that contains only the differences between two files. That way, we'll be able to apply that binary patch to any global, just like applying a shadow mod profile using Global Editor.

Difference is, the binary patch will contain both the changes done using the editor AND the hex-edited advanced stuff, but any modder/user will be able to apply it to their global.

Please try to do this. It's really important for all of us. Thanks for all your work.

P.S. By using the original Moose 2.7 along with the hex-edited 2.7 SeanJohn sent me I was able to create a binary patch of the changes he made both with the global editor and his hex-edits. It can be applied to any pre-patch global. I'll test it out, and once SeanJohn, tatlopuyo and JohnDoe finish their work, we can hopefully get binary patches out that will apply the same changes to any global.

Here's a screenshot:

seanjohn1414, do you have the exact same global but without the hex-edits, I mean before you started hex-editing it? If you do, we can find exactly what you did since you started, and apply the same changes to any global.

Is it a global released here at NLSC? Is it a global you have somewhere maybe on your PC or in a link in a previous post in this thread?
