No, I need someone to test a file on their ps3.

Still looking for a tester.

EDIT: !It works! Replace 0023_00.arc and in game select Wolverines default, yellow and blue costume. Report back with results and if it works, pictures.

Sorry for the quality, my capture device isn't the best.

SWEET!

Did you notice any changes in loading time?

Well now that I know the compression works, I'm gonna work on finishing my app.

I am going to make a blog and forum for MvC3 hacking guys, I plan on releasing apps, hacks and info on file formats on it.

Well If there was a change it would be VERY minuscule (unnoticeable).

VILE, are you by chance the same VILE that used to hang around that StackSmash joint?

Also, will you publicly release your tool anytime soon?

Yes I am the guy who used to hang around the StackSmash joint :P I was on the team and posted like 1 or 2 hacks lol.

And when I get the tool running flawlessly, I will release it, for now it will be a private matter.

Awesome. I asked because Androu1 said he wants to get some MvC3 modding done or something like that.

Ooh, texture hacking! I'd like to see what kinds of alternative textures people could come up with for the existing characters.

(I already know the first one that someone would make for Felicia, though... :oops: )

Hey RandomTBush, good timing. Would you be interested in helping me figure out the model format for MvC3 (I already know you have a knowledge of 3d formats already)?

I mainly just want to get the vectors and face points out to a simple OBJ.

I've only ever worked with the MDL0 format, and seeing how others are having problems with the models from MvC3 at the moment, I think that a novice such as myself wouldn't know how to get 'em working...
