Texture Replacement

@komiks0916 or you could just read the mentioned:

and you would know that [Unknown] planned to add feature that would deal with textures moving around without being changed ~ so you might as well wait for it and then I guess you will be able to replace all those lines with just:

Code:

71d9fdb149ebf5ec = YellowLife.png

under "[datahashes]" or whatever the new feature ends up being called.

oh yes.. yes.. i mean for the meantime, i really need to name them one by one, until [Unknown] has the new way to make it work..
thanks for the response..

Decided to implement using zeros under [hashes]. More information here:

Nice! the wildcards work as expected, i'm still running around different parts of the game to see if there's any issues, but i haven't found any.

So this replaces texture for games? I'd love to see SFA3 MAX get treatment.

So we can remaster our own games? Cool!!

Doesn't really have any ui, but it's pretty easy to use, just edit ppsspp.ini and set:
SaveNewTextures = True
to dump textures into \memstick\PSP\TEXTURES\gameID\new\, then put textures you edit into \memstick\PSP\TEXTURES\gameID\ and set:
ReplaceTextures = True
to have them replaced in game.
There's also optional textures.ini file you can create in \memstick\PSP\TEXTURES\gameID\ which can be used to set different filenames or limit the size of texture, but it's completely optional, you can check it's syntax in the original pull request.

It can use texture scaling(when dumping), should be affected by texture cache settings when replacing and that's pretty much it. If you're on git, you might subscribe to this issue if you're interested about future updates to this feature since it might get more stuff someday.

Thank you for posting the steps, really appreciated <3

Basically, this allows you to use a different scaler, or different scaling factor, on different images.

Unfortunately, because I just pulled in all of PPSSPP's code for its scaler, the exe is kinda big. It could be made smaller by cherry picking out what's needed or refactoring some dependencies (unfortunate that the linker didn't do this for me.)

Run without args for basic help.

Would be better if the exported files doesn't had that "~" in the end but instead, got exported to a X folder (For example, the folder "Out" which is automatically made in C:\Users\USER\Desktop\xbrz-cli-64 once the process begins)

Tried it with Dissidia 012 and it makes a hella huge difference in the Menus, icons and such. Can't say too much about the characters since I didn't noticed a difference. (But it did work tho, from 256x256 or so to 768x768 or so per texture of Cloud & Lightning)

Thank you so much for making such a simple tool, it's awesome <3

EDIT:
I got why I didn't noticed any difference now, characters modified textures aren't applying.
Grabbed the 10 textures of Zidane, made a single texture and C&P'ed it in the 10 files through Paint and it doesn't work, Zidanne is looking as in the default game.
Weird enough, I feel like the menus, icons and those modified textures are actually working x.x ...

Oh, ~ is a common convention for a backup. It renames the old file to whatever.png~ just in case it crashes or something while saving whatever.png. Could probably add a flag to suppress...

Trying to retexture Unite with textures from Skyrim Nexus, for the first time, I think, result is good, but i chouse the view, where old textures and seams are not apear.

Original:
   

Retexture (also with ReShade):
   

And when texture is dumbing, it's sometimes generate dublicates, also next locations, how i understand, can't use modded textures, and it's necessary to change textures for each location separately.

But nonetheless, that's really great work! Maybe it will bring new life into old games.

And sorry for my english...

This is how i do it:

Code:

#Snowy Mountains
000000009e02f00c0663beed = Snowy Mountains/Snow1.png
000000008c93015676c84131 = Snowy Mountains/Snow1.png

000000001941aa2d58279c8d = Snowy Mountains/IcyRock2.png
00000000ac1ae9b3c950a67a = Snowy Mountains/IcyRock2.png

0000000017c32022e5fc967d = Snowy Mountains/Ice1.png

000000001630168fcd3ac841 = Snowy Mountains/Grass1.png
00000000878238d3bcbd3517 = Snowy Mountains/Grass1.png
000000001910aff5c89a3d7d = Snowy Mountains/Grass2.png

00000000c5fc7c767382ed86 = Snowy Mountains/Grass9.png

Just check textures that are the same and point them to the same replacement.

(Im bad with complex stuff, my brain shut off completely)
