look at me mom
I'm trying to add songs to happy sky
Okay seriously though I am actually going to do something fucking stupid and add
songs to the beatmania iidx happy sky arcade edition
h2ools
There are tools you will need. A lot of them are existing in your house right now
and you may not even know it
Things for graphics-related crap (optional unless you are a faggot like me):
- gcz2tga - makes a directory of TGAs from a directory of GCZs
- packgcz - takes a directory of TGAs and makes GCZs
- (optional) generator - if you're not dedicated like me and would rather have a program do it; IMO it's not as good but I am a whore
- (optional) idxEdit - Hopefully this should be optional but if packgcz doesn't work, it couldn't hurt to open system.idx with this
Things for eout-related crap:
- decrypt and encrypt - eout encryption and decryption tools
- EditOut - this edits the eout file
Note that the decrypt and encrypt files come with the English SOWS version of
EditOut. I don't know if they come with the Japanese version, but IMO it's
pretty bad form to bash the people who are pseudo-working with us on this,
Anthony.
Things for sound-related crap (.2dx and .1 files):
- BMSto1 - if you're not just attempting to copy songs from older/newer versions that is
- Some sort of Hex Editor - You'll need this to stich together multiple .1 files
STEPS - stomp
I think that was one of their songs. If you didn't play EuroMIX2 you wouldn't
get it probably. Anyways...
My current steps file is at hsadd.txt; it will probably
be put up on here after I successfully find out how to do it.
Kitaru's suggested method for stitching .1 files:
- remove the header from the L7 chart
- remove the EOF from the L7 chart
- check the address of the last byte in L7
- change the length of L7 in the header of 7K
- remove the EOF from the 7K
- check the address of the last byte in 7K
- change the offset of the L7 to that +1
- append via binary copying: copy /b file1 + /b file2 file3
- repeat for all charts
- add the EOF when finished
See 1_format.txt for more information. afaik Alis
wrote that, not me.
