ROM Hack [MH4U/MHX] ROM Hacking Guide

[Zeff-555]

Hey, first of all, thanks for your work.
Second, im trying to inject the Spanish text files into ur patch, but following this tutorial results into Music/GFX edit. There is no support about texts. I googled and found ArcTool with MH4 support, but doesnt give more info about usage, so i still lost. There is a way to extract the text file and edit via notepad and not Hex edit? thanks a lot

I am doing a spanish translation of MHXX.

I'm using the RE Remaster Text Loader and the Notepad ++ for edit the gmd files

Why does my Rathian texture and my Dark Akantor armor have weird colored spot? I saw the post on the page 2 but I added the -ra argument when I convert back to tex and nothing changed. Do I have to change the colors for a better texture or something?

Does this work for XX as well? Really want to replace that awful deviant BGM.

When 3_tex2png.bat is executed, an error like image appears
What should I do? The sentence may be wrong because I am using Google translation

you didn't specify a file to be converted

With these tools, would it be possible to swap models and textures of armors as well? The changes would be client-side only, but that's fine.

Are armor models as easily swapped/redirected and replaced as textures and music files?

Does this work for MHG?

Sorry for asking but how can we set a specific time loop with this? Got a 1min mca audio but I want to set the loop start on a 10s mark and loop ends at 60s. Is it possible? Thanks!

Edit: Got it workin! I just saw your post here:

The romfs extraction with 3dstool does not work. Please try the romfs extraction tool from pack hack, but the romfs builder from pack hack is very bad. EDIT: My romf.bin was still encrypted. But the extraction tool from pack hack will decrypt it for you.

Hi I have the same problem as #62, is there any update on that? Thanks in advance!

Sorry, I dont read every comment, just a few. But is there a list of things that can be changed? Like listing up all possible possibilities...

I was desperately looking for cheats/ntr plugins for MH4U, which enables more box storage pages, more armor set/item set registers and more registered GQs (really only 10 Capcom?!).... and maybe something like more IG/CB relic skins... but that is somewhat dreamlike.

Is a custom game mod a possibility to do that stuff?

Can not do the same in mhxx but instead of creating a cia use ntr ??

Is there any script around to view the .mod files for XX on 3dsMax? Or is there any other way to view them?

I extracted mh4g rom, and found there are two sets of .tex files, one under /enemy and one under /snake/enemy. I only changed the one under /enemy and it took effect in the game. So, I was wondering what's the purpose of the .tex files under /snake/enemy (which has higher resolution).

Thanks!

EDIT: I added -ra flag and it did help.

1. I extracted mh4g rom, and found there are two sets of .tex files, one under /enemy and one under /snake/enemy. I only changed the one under /enemy and it took effect in the game. So, I was wondering what's the purpose of the .tex files under /snake/enemy (which has higher resolution).

Didn't MH4U have different textures based on O3DS/N3DS so imagine it was the same for 4G? so the higher resolution texture is most likely N3DS?

Is it possible to make an .arc file extractor/repacker for Dual Destinies? It would be greatly appreciated.
