PS3 NEW XMB MOD FOR PS3

[Frntts]

well, I tried my hand at a wave, and I'm not sure if it was the coloring or changing x float to 0, but the wave disappeared. I used a gradient for the background, trying to make it rainbow-colored, but it looks bad:

it looks like you have edited the background and not the waves, but it looks good anyway

I did a little better this time, but x float doesn't seem to have anything to do with changing it to vertical. I changed all the backgrounds to black, made the left side green/right side blue, increased brightness, and increased the wave's speed. it's much easier I'd imagine checking the results in rpcs3 instead of on a console or rather faster without much risk in case you make a mistake.

the controllers of my console have been damaged and I had no way to continue with the mod, but it seems that with rpcs3 I can try it, I will make some checks and try to do something with the waves, if I can do it I will tell you

I think I'm a little late to answer, but the lines.qrc is not mine, but I can pass it to you anyway.

Thanks.

I figured out the x, y, and z positions, sorta. The wave didn't disappear, rather the value I put placed it off the screen. I did manage to make a diagonal wave, but it's messed up in another way. It starts moving to the left. I don't know why.

I don't have cfw or hen, so that's the only way I can test myself. I'll take a look at that vertical wave later, and see if I can figure out how its orientation was changed.

well, well, if you manage to do it, if you want to show how you have done it!

I figured out how to make it vertical by hex comparing the two series of settings files. the x, y, and z positions should be -0, ANG x and y floats should be 0 or -0 depending on whether negative is included. ANG z should be high (it's 9.xx in this example, while it's normally 0 or (keep the 7.6 values), depending on where it's located. the main one that makes it vertical is ANG ROT:float (it should be high, normal is 18, but the example is 98). I think the other values, POS and ANG are just to keep the wave on the screen. it still tends to move to the left in both mine and yours. that's all I changed, so it's a normal wave, just vertical:

I discovered that you can make the backgrounds black without changing the dds. just change the 1 and 2 RED, GREEN, and BLUE floats at the beginning, right before you'd change the color of the wave. change them from 1 to 0. I think they're responsible for the daily/nightly gradient changes. your purple wave has this change, but it's not needed for vertical:

sounds very interesting and I understand your explanation. The moment I get a controller for my ps3 I will try your lines.qrc and edit my own. Thanks for the help!

I had some trouble at first, changing all with ctrl+h, so I went through the official lines.qrc and the modded, vertical one. I hex compared them, and changed what didn't change in the position stuff, because the wave that appears right when you boot the system, and what's displayed as you navigate use several different configuration groupings (called mnu internally). the first attempt caused the wave to disappear off the screen until I went through them individually. the wave appeared vertical with the coldboot, then that happened. I corrected it before saying success. lol

I understand it, I understand that it is composed of several files, also I think I have a program of some years that facilitates the edicions of the qrc files.

I think I know what you're talking about. I think it was an app by either @pink1 or @DeViL303 . I just did it manually, which is the same way you can modify a coldboot, which I do have some experience with (i.e. remove the first 8 bytes, use simplyzip, hex out/in, etc.). the mnu files can be modified within notepad++, so they're understandable pretty easily, just don't have a debugger to know how the results will end up.

btw, I memorized the scripts' location, which is 0x39F0-0xE15F iirc.
