7 days later and fully got it working!

The issue shown at the end of the video turned out to be a much larger issue than expected. Shadow the Hedgehog's chunk visibility system allows for more than one visibility chunk to render the same geometry/collision chunk.

please read the readme thoroughly because this is a very jank early mod and I will cry if you don't

since so much of this game is completely static, on the base map without any random features you can still
- farm enemies and loot things
- shop, smith, and level up
- fight a few bosses
- admire the scenery

it's like a whole tiny rpg just for you!

Releases · Shadowth117/Aqua-Toolset A series of tools primarily for PSO2 which also support some other things. - Shadowth117/Aqua-Toolset

Updated Aqua Toolset for Elden Ring Nightreign models. While new files haven't been indexed properly yet for UXM, if you search through the unknowns with the newest build you can in fact extract Nightreign models. No spoils pics for now.

There was never a PC port; Bloodborne is run on ShadPS4 emulator on PC. At some point they changed it to not extract PS4 .pkg files, but there are other programs to extract games you dumped that way if needed.

The game does run great, my only rec is this fix www.nexusmods.com/bloodborne/m...

new thing: BinderKeys

this is just a resource for tool dweebs (like me), collecting all the rsa keys and hash dictionaries for all the games in one place

King's Field 1 menu modded to display Spanish words.

First draft of a Spanish menu for King's Field 1.
This is in-game, not an edited image. I've been trying to get to this point for quite some time now, so I'm very happy that a Spanish translation is totally possible.

D-Don't look at the glitchy menu on the right.....

Minor UI change for demonstration's sake, but I've added extraction and repacking for the ae_*.arc ui files. Now you can actually change the UI to reflect the name of whatever stage model you import and the like.

In cases like the sound effects, which are stored in .wav on PC for what's actually used, the original GC sound archives still exist, but go unused.

As far as the PC release as a whole, almost every file is identical to what's on GC. Most ingame differences, like the rendering changes and GBA egg removals, are through code. GBA game data is one of the few sets of files removed entirely, but the eggs are still in the files.

For the curious, I finally went and made a list of basically everything that's unique to and unused in the PC version of Billy Hatcher with a brief description on them.
212 files, some of which are archives with more stuff inside.

I've put out a Billy Hatcher prototype asset skin pack. I won't pretend there's a ton to it, but it is a proof of concept of putting in custom content of a form. Might be fun for people who've seen some of what I've posted and want to play around with it.

Mission briefing in placeholder machine-translated English

hello! I'm working on a translation patch for ARMORED CORE MOBILE MISSION, the JP-only keitai game from 2004 that just got a PC port

I've implemented everything on a technical level, so now I need help with the actual translating part
(screenshots are machine translation for testing purposes)

🧵1/2

Much less janky version. Seems like Richie, the animal it replaces, has a run that loops at a set place that might be hardcoded, but it's definitely usable at this point after some minor animation edits to push it up in the air a bit.

It was probably meant to be rideable like the shark, but giving changing the shark to have ice properties and actually making Billy attach to it properly is a whole different can of worms.

I've revived the Billy Hatcher ice whale from the dead, complete with what I assume to be its proto egg pattern from the unused demo egg patterns. The animations need a tune up, but it works!

Never do these things for the clout.
Do it because it's what you want to do.

It will absolutely make the day of the people who do honestly care about such things.

Added rendering for eggs today and along with that put a transparent preview of what's in the egg above them. I figure this should help with clarity, especially with some eggs, like the Sonic eggs, having the same texture.

It's sad honestly, I remember loads of people being really happy about CSP as an alternative to Adobe, but with the sub model and this it just feels like they're shifting into a clone of them.

So apparently the old version of Pirates Island didn't have the weird quicksand collision. It's similar, but they must have added it by mistake in a refinement pass. The render models are also pictured for comparison.

Ended up adding support for loading the unused maps in PC Billy. Most of them aren't super crazy, but hey it's something.

Also found these today in Billy Hatcher PC in bm_stg01.gvm. No matching model unfortunately. The painted look, but different styling make me think it's from a mock up stage or maybe another Sega game.

I swear it must seem like I conjure these up sometimes, but as I comb through the PC version of Billy Hatcher I just find more weird stuff over time. Apparently there's a whole unused set of egg item animals with a pig that wasn't used entirely.

Area in question with the collision visible

Probably known, but for whatever reason on Pirates Island, the collision under these two towers is for quicksand and you'll get a quicksand instadeath touching the steel structure there. I noticed this while implementing the collision viewing for OverEasy.
