Get rid of (c) Pixel?

I heard it's possible to get rid of the need to put (c) Pixel at the end of your sprites. I really want to use this. Halp?

 

This would be slightly less useful, but... would it be possible to change the required string to something else? Such as "(c) Celtic Minstrel"?

 

I think all you have to do is open Doukutsu.exe in your hex editor, search for the (c)Pixel string in it, and simply delete it. Poof.

Unfortunately this also means getting rid of the (c)Pixel in existing .pbm files, like arms, title, bullet, etc.

 

So if you simply replaced the (c)Pixel string with a different string, would the game still work? Would the new string have to be the same length, or could it be longer?

theres a guide i made for removing (C)Pixel

No you don't.

You have two options:

FIRST OPTION
> Open .exe in hex editor
> Search for "(C)Pixel" string (it's case-sensitive )
> Replace it with blanks
> You're done!

SECOND OPTION
> Open each and every new sprite sheet made by you in hex editor
> Add "(C)Pixel" at the end of each sprite sheet's code
> You're done!

I generally prefer the first option, cause it's less of a hassle. =/

And btw I'm not exactly sure about the second option's steps, as I myself don't use it at all xD.

Yay, thanks. Now what .bmp to .pbm converter do you guys use?

 

Metalogz uses me.

But me? I right click and rename every file by hand.

Does that mean the filesize is left unchanged?

 

Yay, thanks. Now what .bmp to .pbm converter do you guys use?

What I did was save the .pbm file as a .bmp file, that will create a new file that you can't use, but if you change that newly made .bmp file back to a .pbm you can edit it and it will work in the mod.

 

Does that mean the filesize is left unchanged?

Em... I don't see how this would affect gameplay or hacking ease >_>

 

That doesn't answer the question.

 

Uh, Metalogz, you don't delete the (C)Pixel string. You more of replace the hex values of it with 00's.

 

So then the filesize is unchanged.

Wrong.
If you delete (C)Pixel the game won't work anymore, because of the pointer tables and offsets.

 

I just use CaveEditor to remove the (C)Pixel requirement from the .exe (if you use caveeditor tho, you wont be able to edit the exe in sue's workshop sadly, but caveeditor works just as well [at least in my opinion])
and all you have to do for the tile sets is just open the pbm file with mspaint, then save the changes u made (it works, i use mspaint to edit all my sprite sheets/tiles)
and then using a hex-editor, add (C)Pixel at the end (or just remove the requirement,)

Lol sorry lemme rephrase what i wanted to say.

i meant to replace the (C)Pixel string =X

I'm, not so much into Hex technical terms btw.. ._.||

 

You mean assembly and not Hex <_<

 

No, that has nothing to do with assembly.

...Unless you're referring to the pointer tables...

 

Hmm. I'm having trouble finding this through searching, even though I KNOW I stumbled upon it yesterday, but I figure since it's required for editing the PBMs this ought to be in the sticky thread anyways. So my question: what, if any, free hex editors are there available for use in removing/adding the (C) Pixel?
