Hacking RB2 Customs - Proof of Concept

[Alexrose]

Because there is big part of dlc catalog ripped from xbox and available just to inject into the game? Is that the big secret?

*Illegal link*

you need an account there, though.

DINGDINGDING

This man wins.

WRONG Not a winner either of you.

The frets on fire dlc rips DO NOT work. I tried this originally with Rb1, so that won't work.

Wow, that's interesting because I've used these on gh3 AND rock band 1 having fed them through feedback and resaving the charts and I had absolutely no problem.

Oh and also:

OHSHI-

Looking forward to this big time, great stuff Mrkinator.

I've been meaning to get into making customs for ages now but never find the time, I play guitar and a few other instruments myself in real life so hoped I'd be able to even make customs with my own recordings

Would be a great personal touch for yself and peeps that know me as a gift.

If you guys need any help testing, I'm more than willing to help.

What programming language will these apps be written in?

 

[HisshouBuraiKen]

Don't get caught up in the whole mock gui thing, leave gui design for the people with no programming talent, they always show up in these situations (look at WBFS and every USB loader).

 

[Mrkinator]

lol, AerialX got some the save file thing to work...

When the file says "Yes there is album art" and you don't have any in the file...

Seems the rest of the team doesn't like my idea of album art. Oh well

 

[Gamemaster1379]

That's cool.

Oh, and are you able to modify the difficulties listing yet? Not the names of the difficulties or the chart (which is done already, obviously

), but the separate listings like Guitar, Bass, Band etc. By assumption, It's an image, seeing as it's duped above where the album is. o:

EDIT: *rewords*

Yeah, I'm going to look into that once I get access to the save file (seem to be having trouble at my end

)

How are you obtaining the save file?

I assume you are referring to the DLC save file, not the progress save file, correct?

My guess would be since they're working with the .bin files and running them from SD, they downloaded a free DLC, copied it to SD, then to PC to modify it.

I'm taking the save file from wankys save manager.

And yes the progress save file. All the info for dlc along with your characters are stored in there. I'm just having trouble re-encrypting it, that's all. I'll work it out with tueidj tomorrow.

Do you have the SD key needed to properly re-encrypt it?

You could, for now use waninkoko's save manager again to put it back in, although I guess you are probably already doing that.

No, it's encryption of a certain file found in the savefile, I'm just getting a weird file size spit out of DtbCrypt.

 

[Gamemaster1379]

Also, a thought. Given the Enter Sandman video, this should work online, right? Well if one song is produced multiple times, though it may have the same chart and name, it could have a different ID, correct? This could pose as a problem for those attempting to do online, as they may have the same song, but a different ID, therefore the game is under the assumption they won't have the same song. So I suggest that prior to release of this application that a wiki or some type of official source for submission of songs that people can download from. It'd make things much easier and probably relieve you and the rest of the team of at least a few questions about why it won't work online when they attempt it themselves.

 

[icefireicefire]

Thats the same issue with title ID's on channels, actually.

I'm 99% sure this has to do with the save file! I'll check this out (though I won't be able to re-encrypt it) and will tell you if I find anything...

QUOTEDon't get caught up in the whole mock gui thing, leave gui design for the people with no programming talent, they always show up in these situations (look at WBFS and every USB loader).

lol I'm not a good coder... What kind of GUI would you like?

Seriously, I could make the graphics for a GUI if you want me to.

 

[tripellex]

Merk, could you or tueidj contact me over PM when you can? I have a project I want to run by you guys, possibly over IRC with the rest of your team...I'm not ready to reveal it to the rest of the world yet, but needless to say its going to be EPIC. I can send you the project scope if you want, just contact me when you're online.

 

[ccfman2004]

In regards to the GH3 charts, you will have to make a small modification to the chart for it to fully work the way it does in GH3.

The Star Power section in the GH3 chart are treated as solo sections in RB. That is what must be changed to what RB uses as Energy Phrases.

 

[ShadowChaos]

well, will frets on fire work if i convert them, i am planning on adding a bunch of songs that already have FoF charts
disregard this, sorry

He is talking about the progress save file. We generate our .bin files from scratch, not modifying existing ones.

Wrong, you can easily change the difficulty tiers on a song. It's only an image because the game generates a texture to draw onto the screen, it's generated from the save (notice that I changed the artist and album name there). I don't know exactly why the game chose to duplicate the image when it couldn't find album art, probably just was the last drawn texture or something. Either way, we can change everything.
