Hacking Splatoon Modding Hub

Still Dumping 2.10, but I might as well ask.
So, since Splatoon's dump has mainly .szs and .pack files, what applications would you use to open them?

szs - Uwizard (SARC+szs)
.pack - Uwizard (SARC)

That's what I use at least :/

 

[KapuDaKoopa]

You can either use Uwizard or SARCExtract

^

But don't use Uwizard to repack, because it's broken.

 

[Splat_Red]

Okay, I have both of those.
SARCExtract opens and then automatically closes on me. :/ I can't read what it says in the text box
( Also thanks everyone for answers, responses were fast! )

Drag the .szs file into the SARCExtract.py

Pack file extract is use Uwizard,SARCextract.py...etc
szs file extract is use yaz0dec,Uwizard...etc
I use yaz0dec when szs file extract.
repack szs file when use yaz0enc.
repack pack file when use SARCPack.py.

Okay, thanks! I'll test it out with a 2.9 Splatoon file.

Okay, so I used it and I got a file called output.BFRES

What do I do with it?

It's texture file.
You have to use TexHaxU(NWPlayer123's release file)
and convert bfres→gtx→dds
and edit!
and finaly...inject dds to pack file.

 

[pikminn]

tbh I still don't know how to search in the memory for stuff, anyone help me out lol

 

[OatmealDome]

Is output.bfres is texture file?

It's more of an "all-in-one" file, it includes model data, animation data, textures, etc...

 

[Splat_Red]

I believe so, the file I used was found here:
vol-content-model-Wmn_Roller_Normal_REF
I used Wmn_Roller_Normal_REF

[Yuu1221_t]

sorry...I know...
bfres is texture file.

 

[YayIguess]

so has anyone found a byaml to xml converter that works?

So when I convert it to gtx, whatt do I do after?

 

[Domineu]

I bet someone already asked this in this threat but I didn't find it.
Yamlconv can convert the .byaml files in Splatoon to .xml but always crashes when converting it back.
Can someone help me please?

i wonder, what are the things that we can actually modify in splatoon ? i would like to do model imports but i think it's like sm4sh, impossible at the moment

We can't do model changing, because currently no one knows how to import them
It's possible, but when we do it, it errors because the NW4F or whatever it is format is unknown
We think it might be because of shader issues

You Run "ConvertGTX"
Converted DDS is in OutDDS_LossLess folder.

Ohhh!!!! This explains a lot of things, why always I edit a.pack and I use Uwizard to pack it freezd, one time I only edited a little part of a file and it freeze... But SARCPack doesnt work for me, appeares and desappeares a window very quickly, only works SARCExtract, if someone knows how to "fix" SARCEPack this mean I will can modify weapons parameters ans sub weapon and special for each weapon and if moderators see it good ill make a guide and finish the finish part, (save the file and put in in the correct folder and correct format) of Splat3D guide
