Hex Map, Resources, Discussion

Wanted to create a general thread for hex stuff. Shout out to Mahmood for getting me started on hex editing 2K and to ksmiz for his insights re: previous 2Ks, which helped me get a foothold in trying to make sense of everything. Also thanks to bongo88 for his interest in and insight into hex stuff, which has led to a lot of useful discussion over the years (judging by past NLSC threads).

Latest Hex Workshop color map:

vetmin23_2022-11-18.zip

(note: Hex Workshop is free)

Note that this color map is forever a work in progress. I map things as I go along, not for their own sake, but please share items / insights that you have as you go along and I will add them to the map. I will credit your contributions.

For those who prefer not to download Hex Workshop, no worries; CMAP is a plaintext format, and you can find that plaintext for the latest version of the color map here:

# Hex Workshop Color Map Definition File (cmap)
#
# General Format:
#   <hex_sequence> | <charrange> = <color_definiton> [,<comment>]
#
# <hex_sequence>
#  Defines a hex sequence.  The hex sequence must a valid quoted hex string
#  and can represent between 1 to 32 bytes of data.
#   
#  Example:
#    "00AABBCC"
#
# <charrange>
#   Defines a range of characters in decimal.
#
#   For example, byte 0 to 32 is represented as:
#     charrange(0, 32)
#
# <color_definition>
#   Defines the color definition.  Each color definition is defined using an
#   RGB tuple.  For example, RGB(<red>, <green>, <blue>), where each color
#   component is a decimal value between 0 and 255.
#
#   RGB(<red>, <green>, <blue>)
#     Defines the RGB value for either the foreground or background for
#     both the hex and text/ascii areas.  This format is compatible with
#     Hex Workshop v5.x and earlier.
#
#     To display all instances of 'DDDD' in black on yellow:
#       "DDDD"=RGB(0, 0, 0), RGB(255, 255, 0) 
#
#   hexFgRGB(<red>, <green>, <blue>)
#     Defines the hex foreground color.
# 
#   hexBgRGB(<red>, <green>, <blue>)
#     Defines the hex background color.
#
#   hexRectRGB(<red>, <green>, <blue>)
#     Defines the hex border rectangle color.
#
#   asciiFgRGB(<red>, <green>, <blue>)
#     Defines the ascii foreground color.
#
#   asciiBgRGB(<red>, <green>, <blue>)
#     Defines the ascii background color.
#
#   asciiRectRGB(<red>, <green>, <blue>)
#     Defines the ascii border rectangle color.
#
# <comment>
#    Defines a comment for a particular color mapping.  The comment is
#    displayed in a tooltip when hovering the mouse cursor over rendered
#    data in Hex Workshop.
#
#    Example:
#        comment("My Color Mapping")
#

# Examples:
#
# Displays all instances of "00000000" in White on Black:
#   "00000000" = RGB(255, 255, 255), RGB(0, 0, 0)
#
# Displays all instances of "00000000" in a Red Rectangle:
#   "00000000" = asciiRectRGB(255, 0, 0), hexRectRGB(255, 0, 0)
#
# Displays all instances of "00000000" in Blue on Yellow (hex) and Green on
# Yellow (ascii):
#   "00000000" = asciiFgRGB(0, 255, 0), hexFgRGB(0, 0, 255), RGB(255, 255, 0)
#
# Displays all instances of "00000000" in Blue on Yellow (hex) and Green on
# gray (ascii):
#   "00000000" = asciiFgRGB(0, 255, 0), hexFgRGB(0, 0, 255), asciiBgRGB(192, 192, 192), hexBgRGB(255, 255, 0)
#
# Displays all instances of "00000000" with a yellow background in the hex
# display and yellow border rectangle in the ascii display:
#   "00000000" = hexBgRGB(255, 255, 0), asciiRectRGB(255, 255, 0)

VCUIELEMENT General Concepts:

• There are two sections: human-readable and raw data.
• stateList values in the human-readable portion refer to the starting points of their corresponding raw data blocks (they always begin with the byte 09 followed by 0s).
• Each data block is divided mostly into 12-byte modules, organized as follows: 4-byte data-type header (qualitative / text-based, toggle, float), 4-byte attribute marker (e.g., VC_Font, VC_Italicize, VC_Effect), and a 4-byte value for that attribute.

Never hex edited 2K before? Here is a tutorial for certain types of hex edits that may be useful as a general introduction:

vetmin - VCUIELEMENT Basics and Text-Routing via Hex.zip

(created for last year's game, but it is still applicable)

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

They are crc32b hash, for example the "VC_Font", 0x70a6a7ec (unsigned int 32) or bytes " EC A7 A6 70 " is the hash of "Font": https://md5calc.com/hash/crc32b/Font
You can use this website to calculate the hash: https://md5calc.com/hash/crc32b

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

They are crc32b hash, for example the "VC_Font", 0x70a6a7ec (unsigned int 32) or bytes " EC A7 A6 70 " is the hash of "Font": https://md5calc.com/hash/crc32b/Font
You can use this website to calculate the hash: https://md5calc.com/hash/crc32b

Ahhhh... I think I recall ksmiz alluding to this in an old thread or two but I didn't understand him; thank you for clarifying! It's already helped me map out a few more items (i.e., just by trying different parameter names and seeing if their CRC32B hashes are present). I can already see that 2K hasn't named everything uniformly. For instance, the hash for "Justification" is 95411e54, but the actual value in the game is 21af31f9, which happens to be the hash for "Justify", even though the property name in SCNEs is "VC_Justification". I'm guessing there are a lot of discrepancies like this due to legacy code. Still though, it's very useful to understand the general concept, even if some guesswork is required; thanks for explaining.

And I dumped all key-value for the lang pack map(173960 items):

Holy crap this is wildly useful! I have no idea to extract these values in any automated way so it would have taken me ages to find some of this stuff. Much much appreciate your sharing!!!

Glad to see it helped.

good thread here. I wish I could find Ksmiz's old thread, it would be helpful now
