Foreword
You have probably been using Hexadecimal a few times in your life, most likely if you have been making a website or perhaps "piffing up" a User Profile. In those cases it have been to generate a color, the Hex in Illusion games works the same way. Now, however, we are generating a function, a way to tell how a mesh or a texture should behave. Should something be transparent? Perhaps glow? Reflect something?
This section is most of all to learn the basics, but also to find out how a certain "effect" is generated. Note that we aren't all knowing about the Hex being used in Illusion Games such as PPD/PSP, this page will be updated as we progress in our search to use the Hex system to improve our modding ability.
Tools
- SB3UGS by Alamar, enimaroah (essential tool used for everything).
Transparency
There might come plenty of occasions where you want to add transparency to a object or part of a costume. If you haven't been fiddling with the SB3UGS Hex editor before, then take note of that there will be 3 tabs within it that we will be working with and these are;
- the Frame tab.
- the Submesh tab.
- the Material tab.
Note that certain transparency effects may not require altering of the Material tab. One of those transparency effects is the Goo Man Effect.
====Common Transparency====
This kind of transparency is commonly used on Costumes. To apply it use the values down below in the example, note that a texture of the type .tga or .dds with a Alpha Channel is required for best reslut.
Submesh - Submesh Flags:
cw_O_bura_00_00[0] 0E-64-00-00 04-00-00-00 00-63-00-00[...]
Frame - Frame Flags:
cw_O_bura_00_00[0] 00-01-00-00 5F-00-00-00[...]
(Note: There's at the time 2 know parts of this section that will have a impact
on the result of this transparency. The first and the second segments.)
Material - Texture 1:
cw_M_pantu_00_01 01-00-00-00[...]
Material - Texture 2-4:
cw_M_pantu_00_01 FF-00-00-00[...]
(Note: the FF value is not always required, you can from time to time leave it as a 00 value.)
