Title: Hex Editing to Remove Polygons
Post by: Dean on August 04, 2010, 02:12:25 AM
Gah. I need to ask -another- question...

I am following this guide here: http://kc-mm.com/?p=2106

Everything makes sense, of course. However, at "2:34" I can't complete this step.
I've followed the guide 100% accurately, I'm sure. Copied the "header," went into the .pac file, Ctrl+F, paste, search for Hex values... But HxD is unable to find it.

Basically... I'm working with STGMANSION.PAC, I exported polygon4, loaded both the .pac file and the polygon into HxD, copied the header of polygon4:

"00 00 15 80 FF FF 23 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 56 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 15 00 00 00 E0 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 68 00 00 14 20 00 00 14 20 00 00 01 3C 00 00 2E 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 71 FC 00 00 00 04 00 00 03 A0 00 00 02 06 00 04 00 04 00 04 FF FF 00 04 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 00 00 64"

Switched to the .pac file and searched for that string of Hex-values. HxD says it's unable to find it.

I've started again from scratch several times, and attempted the same process with polygons 58, 70 and 72. Nothing seems to work. Am I doing something wrong, or am I misunderstanding something?

EDIT: Just tested the exact same method on Sheik. Worked perfectly. Why doesn't this work with Luigi's Mansion?

EDIT2: FINALLY figured it out. For anyone who's interested... The tutorial said to use the .pac file of the character (I was doing a stage >.<). However, the polygon wasn't located... In the .pac file of the stage...? I had to export the ModelData[].brres file, and the polygon was in -there-... I removed that, and everything worked out. :D
