Texture replacement

[Nugss]

Game or games this happens in

ULUS10213 - The warriors or possibly the other games too

What area of the game / PPSSPP

So I try to replace the textures of clouds on The warriors using the PS2 textures that I dump using AETHERSX2 emu of the same game, when I launch the PPSSPP, the texture doesn't load as is and it shows like this

And when I play for long enough it will load properly

From this second pic, it's just a savestate that I save before. When the moment that the texture loads property I just savestate it, and when I loadstate it, it shows properly even without playing for long enough.

What should happen

I don't think what the problem is but it's either the emulator or the texture i use.

Probably its the texture I replace, because I using ps2 textures on peds and it works fine.

Here's the texture:

What you think guys? If the texture is the problem, can you give me some advice?

If you need to "play long enough" for the replaced texture to appear it can mean two things:

• you have a slow device and the texture is loaded with a delay(but that would only be a second or few at max),
• the way you're identifying the texture doesn't work, ie. if you identify it by address_clut_hash_texture_hash it's possible address or clut hash changes even if texture hash is the same and often texture hash as well might change when the image is smaller than PSP texture size cause PSP games like to re-use that otherwise wasted memory for random data in which case you can try reducing hash in the textures.ini.

Thanks @LunaMoo. If my device is the problem maybe i should reduce the quality or resolution of the texture

I tried it too the result is transparent https://youtu.be/AKw73qSU3Y0

[LunaMoo]

@IrfanH495 Lol. You can't just expect to replace opaque texture with a transparent one without making the object transparent.

[IrfanH495]

sorry if i ask too many questions. about this part I don't understand

Ignore the intro video textures.

099bf1c000000909 = 0993698000000909 = 09a47a0000000909 = 09ad024000000909 = is it for video editing.? How to save it.? Can someone give me an example.?

If you explicitly set a hash to an empty string like that, it won't save it or try to replace it. It's just a way of skipping a texture.

@unknownbrackets thanks for explaining. I think it's to replace the edited mp4/pmf video, it was not. very cool if can change the video like changing the texture, can replace it with HD quality or add subtitles.

[Nugss]

@IrfanH495 Or you can modify the game instead, by replacing the pmsf using ps2 version of the game.

@LunaMoo do have plugin or cheat that fix the cutscene of this game?

[LunaMoo]

I don't, however my custom builds do include a compat hack which restores old functionality for videos to make them run smooth in this game.

-Off topic- Is it possible for this game to have "cheat device" similar to GTA VCS and LCS?

There's many improvements in texture replacement https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues?q=label%3A%22Texture+replacement%22+is%3Aclosed How about this now?

[IrfanH495]

in the latest version I can't save the texture if I delete the folder/file.png which is written in texture.ini

[hrydgard]

Oh, that might be an undesirable change in behavior, yeah. I'll get that fixed soon.

[hrydgard]

I'm going to close this issue because a number of problems have been fixed, and it's unclear what was going on here. Do re-open if the problem returns.

17182 is the new issue about saving.

Hey, bro Since , most of the dumped texture from ps2 even both pcsx2 , Aethersx2 is transparents alpha level. So that you should recover to normal via some retouching software like ps gimp if thta is use for others emulator like ppsspp (But that would be find if use for ps2 emulator) See this tutorial...on 03:00 https://youtu.be/uCnrzV8ZL1w
