PS3 Xmb waves

[Louay]

so it need to maintain same length and same sign to hold the QRC Structure Later to make it work ?

 

[pinky]

yes, the wave is a collection of files or in this case configuration files.

Sorry @Louay , what i said before about... (im quoting myself)

...is needed to replace the alpha values by zero so the particles becomes fully transparent (invisibles)

I was talking about what i wrote here in post #94 of this thread:
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/o...s-4-80-4-84-cfw-only.22252/page-5#post-196113

I wrote it a couple of days ago, and today when i noticed you quoted me here i thought it was the same thread, but now i just realized are different

Anyway, take a read at what i said at the other thread... there is a value in all the PARTICLES.mnu for the global alpha

The official firmware have several places where this value is = 0 (so the wave is invisible)
And others where there is a positive value
If you replace all them by 0 the wave will be hidden everywhere

*And btw, download the file made by @Cypher_CG89 from the other thread if you want to compare and take a look at what he did

@Louay , in the overides > partlicles.mnu.js set all - GLOBAL ALPHA:float: 0

This will make the sparks invisible where ever you set it.

Also when messing on with waves make minor corrections at a time and test. set too many values to something they cannot be and you will end up with more than a softbrick> trust me I nearly bricked one of my PS3s setting some values slightly to high or low.. even the recovery options didn't work correctly and kept crashing> only a full system reset saved the PS3 and that crashed 4 time's in a row at 20% before finally working.

I have just uploaded a new wave to the gameboot thread @sandungas linked will all sparks disabled with the exception of the Gameboot sparks. Take a look at that for what to do...

Be VERY carefull when modding the lines.qrc file.

@sandungas @pinky @Cypher_CG89 how can i extract the icons.qrc file ??

 

[Cypher_CG89]

@sandungas @pinky @Cypher_CG89 how can i extract the icons.qrc file ??

Look on the dev wiki, there should be a script linked to the icons.qrc part that can extract and handle this file.

@sandungas @pinky @Cypher_CG89 how can i extract the icons.qrc file ??

cut the first 8 bytes (00-07) of the lines.qrc in a hex editor. paste the content into a new file, and name it whatever will be easy to remember (I used first_char). save both files. then, decompress the lines.qrc with simply zip. when you're done making changes, compress with simply zip and paste+insert the first 8 bytes again. not doing that will cause a soft brick.

i know that and i talk about icons.qrc not lines.qrc and i get icons file with QRCF in first hex and now i decompile it with CXML Decompile v4 python script i want to edit the side menu color and see if i can create animation

i saw the source code ,copy it and save it in script.py and run it from cmd and it create many BIN files

Does it change side color from this bmp ? when user change color in theme settings it use this file to change the side color ??

i change all color to yellow cause i made all day and night rgb in lines yellow color n10 to be the same but it only make the XMB icon to always yellow not the side menu !!

Yes, you can use the CXML decompiler script (needs python v2.7) to extract the files individually

The image have 12 horizontal lines, 1 line for every month, the line at top is january, second is february, and so on
The colors of the lines matches with the default monthly wallpapers

And every line have 16 pixels that corresponds to the "sunlight" hours
I think the way how they imagined it is like this...
If you divide the 24 hours of a day by 3 you have 2/3 of the day where the light changes (16 hours of sunlight), and 1/3 of the day where the light doesnt changes (8 hours at night)

*This colors are applyed as "ambient light" and affects the main icons, but also the side menu (and i guess a lot other images)
*Btw, the image needs to have 192 indexed colors (because... 16 * 12 = 192)... in photoshop before saving it you need to change it in tab [Image] > [Mode] > [Indexed] and select 192 (and no transparency)

I change the colors in amb.bmp and that only change the color of XMB icons so what left is for side menu but i don't know the files to edit to make side menu color static and with animation

It should be in explore_plugin.rco ... and maybe also explore_plugn_game.rco (in old firmwares when the trophies was located in game) and explore_plugin_psn.rco (for new firmwares)
