ROM Hack [Release] Theme Customization Tools

[Intronaut]

He based it of the "Princess Peach Spinner" theme.

Oh, in that case, please, I need a dlc theme with red UI color (I cannot dump the basic themes), like the Shadow The Hedgehog theme.

Whenever I try to load the theme that is included, I always get an error quickly on and off then it freezes. I've got the latest Frameworks .NET or w/e it's called. I tried compatibility mode as well. Running windows 7 pretty sure 64bit

Any help here?

You can also manually edit the color with a hex editor.

I read it but I still don't get it
Is it offset 0x14 and 0x28?

Thanks, but I see a hex editor is not enough. I downloaded a LZ11 Decompressor to see the hex code clear

You need to decompress your Body_LZ with an LZ11 decompressor, as Intronaut mentioned.

Is this compatible with the new Ninjhax method for custom themes?
Is there a repository for custom themes?

The extdata tool is compatible with Ninjhax yes and the themes are in a thread here somewhere.

it's great to finally get to use this tool.
but I'm realising how limited it is. There's room for improvement.

Ideally this tool should have;
-Colour select tool for the UI elements
-SFX editing/replacing
-choose between scrolling image, single screen image, and slideshow image

Well done so far!

Does anyone knows how to make the BGM loop in the system menu?

 

[Vahnyyz]

if/when this works, I'm going to work on a MegaMan X (SNES version) of the game, because that's my 2nd favorite game, and if I can get IT working, I'm going with Legends of Legaia next One for all the characters (Vahn, Noa, Gala, and their Corresponding Ra-Seru)

 

[weatMod]

to create a theme, go to the [FAQ] Custom Themes thread (read the whole thread, some posts may contain infos that aren't present in the first one).

I have a small guide to install custom themes for those who use gateway.

1- search and install the devmenu (I use bigbluebox's one)
2- search and install a themes pack for your 3ds' region (ex: 73 themes pack [EUR]) (if you already have a not-default theme, you don't need this)
3- install the cia version of the 3ds_homemenu_extdatatool (found here)
4- put the body_LZ.bin file in the root of the 3ds' SD card (put also bgm.bcstm if you added a music)
5- on the 3ds, activate a not-default theme
6- open 3ds_homemenu_extdatatool
7- select "Copy Extdata SaveData.dat to SD" to backup the files you are going to overwrite, just in case
8- select "Enable Theme-Cache" (if the tool says it was already enabled, no problem)
9- select "Copy Theme Cache from SD to Extdata"
10- reboot the 3ds

once in emunand, the custom theme is there. in the themes list, it still has the name and the icon of the theme you overwrote. if you change it, you have to redo the process with 3ds_homemenu_extdatatool (steps from 4 to 10).

p.s. you can delete body_LZ.bin, bgm.bcstm and SaveData.dat from the SD after you do this, they don't need to stay there, but backup SaveData.dat somewhere on the computer.

Does anyone knows how to make the BGM loop in the system menu?
