Hacking Tutorial

so how do i start hacking? im seriously confused. i just wanna mod soras deck, just to see how i do on that and well um i have no clue what im doing. i go into disembler, and then what? theres all those ketters and numbers. yeah i know i sound extremly nooby and stupid but im just trying to begin hacking. so if i can get help here i appreciate it =7

 

How do I save stuff to the KH2 disk? I want to see what that wierd file in PAD2 does by taking it out, but I won't be able to put it back. HELP!

 

sry but i don't think that that is possible.and if you remove a file there is a 99.9% chance that the game will crash

 

That's why I want to know about a program or something that will let me back it up on another disk or replace a removed file.

 

It is possible.

 

HOW! Plz tell me. I will owe you a forum related favor.(PM me to redeem)

 

anyways, you'll NEVER understand the coding (at least i don't anyway). you have to hack a dump code. create at LEAST TWO save dumps. and compare data and look for differences. that's teh simple explanation

you don't save stuff to the disk? why would you do that?

 

Evil, he wants 2 add stuff. (example-FM+ stuff)

 

To impress my dad who is AWESOME with computer stuff and doesn't know how to do it.
And yes, what KH220 said.

 

oh i don't THINK that's possible but i could be wrong. but it WILL take some time tho

what i said above, you're gonna need help, no one here seems to know how to do this as well

 

KH2 doesn't use a rewritable DVD. you could only burn the game and remove it but all you'll get is a freeze (just thought i'd save you a blank DVD)

 

I know that, that's why I want to save the files to a backup disk that IS rewritable. The only problem is I don't have a program that will allow me to do so. If someone has one, can you please let me know?

 

files that are removeable? get a DVD RW
if your talking about modding KH2 then no, there isn't a program for that

 

Well we do have a program that can extract models.. so if we can find a way to import them back it, we can at least change some apearances around.

 

dunno how far you're willing to go with it, but if you do go somewhere with it, make sure to also swtich the ELFs too. i seriously doubt you'll get that far tho.

 

i made xendran try this, i now owe him a blank DVD, we got a BSOD. we changed the IMG files over and the subtitle files and umm the PAD2 folder. it wasnt good... anyway anti made a good point, if we can mod the .IMG files so they have the EXACT same data but different models/animations, it MAY be possible. the only thing is, we cant mod anims on kh2, as yaz0r gave up JUST as he was about to do so...
what we need is a guy who can mod .exe's so:
1.) the modelveiwer finds/activates anims
2.)the dump file that extracts from the .IMG reverses its process

it MAY be possible if we can do this

 

If we could do that, could we change the appearance of each character? I want to see myself in the game.

 

O_0 i don't think that is possible :(

 

Just sayin. If we could mod the appearances, we would have UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES AS FAR AS UCMS GO!!! WE COULD ALSO MOD THE ANIMATIONS TO MAKE THEM MORE REALISTIC!!! Okay done yelling.

 

there as realistic as it's gonna get, it's a PS2 game, not a PS3 game (BIG difference)
