Well... Shooty and i were roaming through pk2 files and were interested in these popular thingies, so, shall we?

Program used: XVI32

Step 1:
Back up your Media.pk2 file, you don't want to reinstall again if you screw up (if you are new to this you WILL very likely screw it up, so back up)

Step 2:
Open Media.pk2 with XVI32



Step 2:
Find this string in HEX mode:

23 73 65 63 74 69 6F 6E 09 63 68 61 72 61 63 74 65





Step 3:
Find the code of the chain you want to change, let's say, you want to change the lvl 29 Blood Chain. Search for this:
SKILL_CH_SWORD_CHAIN_B
In ANSI mode (See the spot "Unicode Latin", leave it UNchecked):




Now notice this: "ANI_SKILL_" that's the thing you are interested on.
See the number?, in this case it's number 9, if you want a lvl 51 chain, like Ascension Chain. Replace this number, Ascension's number is 17. Just type it.



Step 4: As we changed the number of characters and replaced a blank space, we'll add one. Place your cursor next to the 7, then go to Edit --> Insert String



Chose Hex string, and add a blank space i.e. 00
And add it only once.



Step 5:
Find the Ascension chain, we'll switch them so there are no errors, and it's easier:





Change the number in ANIM_SKILL to 9 and delete the 7:



Step 6:

Now do another ANSI search for: SKILL_CH_SWORD_CHAIN_B

You will See this:
SKILL_CH_SWORD_CHAIN_B SHOT 1
Look for every line that has "SHOT" in it, As this is the lvl 29 Blood CHain, it will have 4 shots.



Change the B into D.



Step 7:

Search for: SKILL_CH_SWORD_CHAIN_D from Cursor



Do the same, but change D --> B (We switch them to avoid errors)



Done, save and test.

Doing Blood Chain (lvl 29) at lvl 14:



The same thing is for Heuksal chains, you only need to change the ANIM_SKILL number.

Codes for the Bicheon Chains and Heuksal Chains.

Bicheon:

SKILL_CH_SWORD_CHAIN_A
SKILL_CH_SWORD_CHAIN_B
SKILL_CH_SWORD_CHAIN_C
SKILL_CH_SWORD_CHAIN_D
SKILL_CH_SWORD_CHAIN_E

Heuksal:

SKILL_CH_SPEAR_CHAIN_A
SKILL_CH_SPEAR_CHAIN_B
SKILL_CH_SPEAR_CHAIN_C
SKILL_CH_SPEAR_CHAIN_D
SKILL_CH_SPEAR_CHAIN_E

Extra:

You want to throw your sword/blade?
You want to do Soul Cut with your Spear/Glaive?

Bicheon:

SKILL_CH_SWORD_GEOMGI_A
SKILL_CH_SWORD_GEOMGI_B
SKILL_CH_SWORD_GEOMGI_C

Heuksal:

SKILL_CH_SPEAR_SHOOT_A
SKILL_CH_SPEAR_SHOOT_B

lol, that looks like fun. *claps*
keep up the good work

sword/blade throwing. OMG!

nice guide

Lol i didn't notice, just was a bit tired making the guide.
Thx btw, it feels good to achieve that and we know it's difficult for some people. We hope they can do it with all the help we can give them.

very usefull and a nice guide

Hope we soon can see screenshots of some action hehe
Have fun editing.

good job man - i'm just about to test mine because when i tested mine (the imbues and buffs) it worked and then messed up so i'm changing one little line and then i'll write the tut tonight so stay tuned. really nice!

when i have csro than i got the time of the world too make some screens
cuz it will take ages too log on isro xD

Damn, i just found out, that i missed a point in the guide, i'll edit it ASAP.
Right now i need to go to school but as soon as i get here, i'll edit it.

For those who know about pk2 editing, search for the chain line "SKILL_CH_SWORD_CHAIN_D" in ANSI again and you will see that there says "SHOTS", change all the shots to the letter you want to edit.

In the example from the guide you should change all the D SHOTS into B.

yup good catch - quick edit! - i'm testing it now and so far nothing has happened that is bad. so yea that's good.

can you maybe put the numbers behind the skill lines we gotta change them in ^^

nice guide tho...I'll try it tomorrow or something.

cool - ya i'll tell him.

Guide updated, sorry for the mistake, i was a bit tired last night and couldn't think properly

Anyway enjoy.

I'm working on a guide to change Icons of skills in the Skill menu of the game... will take a bit more time...


Edit: i'm taking a look at skilleffect.txt and the Ascension Chain might be the "E" letter, if it doesn't work for you, try the same with E, and looks that Heaven Chain is C.

Sorry if there was a misunderstandig, i haven't tried the lvl 51 chains in game, i supposed that they were in the same order than in game, that's why i used Ascension as an example but it might be Billow...

it doesn't matter - i tried it again man and it still doesn't work... i'll keep workin on it.

but yea - i figured out the icons - they're easy - and i'll post them soon.

EDIT: NVM.. LIKE I TOLD YOU - WHEN I DID THIS ON MY OWN, I FORGOT TO CHANGE BOTH SHOTS AND SWITCH THEM

MY TUT IS COMING.... TONIGHT!

I suppose this is only for VISUAL/COSMETIC stuff, right? or does it really enables the skill?

sweet... i think i edited it correctly finally - yayayayyyy i'll test..

again, nice guide man...tryed it with the 3rd chain changing to the 5th and it works, GJ man thumbs up (again =P )





PS: can you make a guide to get the nakid stuff >:) (you did something like that...atleast you said that in the other topic)

i don't know how u get it to work cuz it doesn't work for me.... ever....

I just followed the guide...maybe its something with the hits...like 4 can be replaced with 4...and 5 with 5 but not 3 with 4 or 4 with 5 etc...I used C and E for the 3rd and 5th book ^^

nice guide >:].
but the way you do it seems much harder than the way i do it =X
i use hexedit instead of XVI

ok... i'll test it again.. i tried to change b -> d but it didn't work - i'll try c to e... hey xmoshe - do u have xfire?

Yeah it's just visual as any pk2 edit, at least the ones we work with.



Thanks to you, you help posting screens, because i don't have much time to play and take pics.



Yeah i did, i took some files Cruor posted, it was just matter of placing them where they belonged. If you do it correctly, you get the "naked" effect.

It's ver simple actually, just injecting in the Data.pk2 a few modded files. I made a tutorial for someone who sent me a pm requesting it... i regret i didn't save it...



I think XVI32 is easier because you just type... and don't need to extract and inject the files... it's just faster imo...

do u think this is possible to do with a bow maybe the 4 arrow combo i think it would look kinda cool

Changing 2 shot combo into 4 shot? (Remember this is for looks so you will shot 2 arrows only or 3 is you replace the 3 combo)

2 Shot combo:

SKILL_CH_BOW_CHAIN_A

ANI_SKILL_2

4 shot combo:

SKILL_CH_BOW_CHAIN_C

ANI_SKILL_16


Just change the shots with the same method.

no i mean like glavie chains with a bow in ur hand

I tryed the 2nd book soul cut to the 3rd book soulcut but didnt work...think I did it a bit to fast lol ^^ got the ????


(np for the pics man...got them by your guide =P )

PS: I have the 5th book on my own now so I dont have to pk2 it anymore =)

I haven't tried, but it is possible, your could test it, but it is different, it's easier if you extract skilleffect.txt edit it manually, then inject it back in Media with HexEdit. Changing the lenght of the strings with XVI is a pain, havinng to insert null bytes, then erasing others... is far easier editing it in WordPad...

well im kinda a noob so could u go a little more in-depth for me like tell me witch ones i need to switch and also if the file gets bigger than it was originally what do i need to do to make it smaller then add null bytes untill it is the same size

Try this, (i haven't tried so i'm not sure if it will work)

Open Media with Pk2 Extractor and extract skill effect.txt:



Open skilleffect.txt in WordPad:



Search for SKILL_CH_SPEAR_CHAIN_A (I'm doing A because it has the same amount of shots than the 3 combo arrow)

Well imageshack just decided to be screwed, so i'll continue only with text...

Besides that line, inmediately after you'll see: 0 TRUE 0 SPEAR

Change the word SPEAR for BOW

Then, search for SKILLS_CH_BOW_CHAIN_B

Do the same, change BOW for SPEAR

Then inject the file back to Media, if you don't know how to do it, look at the guide of editing skills by SCArchon, is a few posts away from this one. It's just hard to explain with no pics.

I think you only need to change those lines, if something doesn't work, try to change the ANIM_SKILL numbers too, switch them.

i'm going to ttest this soon... so yea...
