Title: Soul Calibur 2 Hacking
Post by: cypher35 on February 28, 2004, 07:17:00 PM
we've finally opened the pandora's box on the complicated file structure in this game...

check it out:
(IMG:http://forums.ninjahacker.net/uploads/post-24-1078027020.jpg)

if anyone wants to help out, we'd love to see some new talent among us...  We're currently working on extracting many of the character textures.  skinning this game will soon become as much of a reality as it is with doa3 ^_^

our SC2 forum is located here.

we can also be found in IRC irc.freenode.net #soulcalibur

Screw that guy...u guys that are hacking SC2 RULE!  I wish I had the time and knowledge it takes to even attempt what you guys are doing.  If I had the source code for SC2 it would still be difficult to create skins, much less doing it through encrypted code and hex editing.  Congrats and thanks for all your efforts this far!

Take it easy,

well, i certainly hope so, but one step at a time wink.gif

we havn't extracted any meshes yet, but we have come across what appears to be mesh data before...  It is all rather difficult to make out because it appears that Namco stripped all of the filenames from the directory structure when they compiled the game. dry.gif

Whats up guys...any news on this one yet?
Title: Soul Calibur 2 Hacking
Post by: cypher35 on March 09, 2004, 06:28:00 PM
wel, we've developed a couple of apps to aid us in extracting the contents of the olk.  we are now trying to determine the file formates of these extracted segments (which is hard to do since the filenames were stripped by namco =/)

once again, if anyone wants to help we'd love to hear your input.  the tools are available in our sc2 forums on ninjahacker.net

Cypher you are without a doubt the man.  Are there any tools in existence from older namco game hacking that may help, or could be adapted to help restore the filenames?  This can't be the first time Namco has done this in their games...there's gotta be something out there that's been used before to restore / erase the filenames / structure.  Think Namco custom designed an app that would do that?  Or I dunno...could it have been done w/ the XDK?

Post by: pkScary on March 14, 2004, 06:25:00 PM
actually scdc used olnk files similar to sc2 ones

no, i don't think there are any namco hacking utilites released online. they're being made right now

Cool...can't wait to hear more, I'm gonna brainstorm w/ a software developer friend of mine...maybe we can come up with something to help, he's familiar with protection schemes like that.  We worked on a little program for a while where I used to work, the program's different features called the class ids of files instead of the filenames themselves...I dunno if that would help, but I will ask to see if he has any tricks up his sleeves, if thats even along the same lines as what you guys are doing, you guys rule...you all will nail sc2 sooner than later, take it easy.

You guys are awsome.  I was thinking, often when programs are developed, they are programmed larger than needed and then scaled down.  I wonder if Link from the GC and the guy from Tekken on PS2 are in the code somewhere to be unlocked?  That would be awsome if they are!!!

Although i think its great that you guys are making great progress with hacking games and such, i think there are somethigns that should be jsut left alone.

Such as, LEAVE LINK OUT OF IT.
I LOVE link and i LOVE nintendo, i think that it is totaly unfair  that teh x-box gets to see the likes of him. this is why ill never EVER play OOT ot MM or any Zelda game on my z-box its NOT FAIR.

Link belongs to nintendo and i dont want to see him ported over, this is why i own a Game Cube so i cna play their characters and stuff, it kinda annoys me seeing people wanting to get link and mario and what not over to the x-box. If you wana play him, i think you should g and buy a game cube.

Sorry about the kinda rant, just annoys me to see nintendo go down as it is.

thanks
