Durante Presents: FFXIII resolution unlocking (GeDoSaTo plugin) released - pre-alpha
- Thread starter Durante
- Start date
I was in a rush at the time and I didn't think of it. I'll upload another video of it in battle, too.
Would it be possible to get it to extract and repack things like sounds and animations?

Curious, I notice you don't have the eyeliner/transparency bug that I've been having.
Anyone know how to fix that?
Make sure AA isn't forced through your graphics drivers, the game uses its own AA and needs it to render those things correctly.
Well, I don't think I'll be doing that. I've got plenty of projects to work on, and FF13 isn't my top priority. I expect some people will at least make tools for the graphics formats. I dunno about sound and animations.
Yep, I believe it also happens if you set control panel (or amd equivalent) to OFF, make sure it's set to "application controlled"

They will probably be modified eventually to work with the in-game animations. Being able to play use the high quality models in-game would be pretty nice. It's a shame that sort of effort wasn't put into the port in the first place.

That walking animation at 0:24 made me lol so much. WTF is wrong with her legs? She looks like a symphony conductor that got her arms stuck.

It's quite a bit better than my sad attempt at it.
honestly this outfit for serah looks really nice.Way better than her XIII-2 outfit.
Also I am surprised about her cloth physics that react to the movement.
Did they plan to have her playable at one point ?
Serah's XIII outfit is her best outfit. I suggested her XIII-2 model though because the animations already exist for it.
And I'm pretty sure at one point she was intended to be playable.
why is she stabbed in the guts like that ?
Its like Lightning told her YOU'RE A L'CIE I'll MAKE IT QUICK FOR YOU AND THAT BITCH SNOW...BOOM!
Apparently Serah didn't even feel it and it gave her the ability to slide around, lol.why is she stabbed in the guts like that ?

The whole episode 0 that was scrapped probably had sections of a playable Serah on it.
As for the episode 0, they made it a nobel... and that part (it's the prologue of the actual game) made the game much better, imo.

I actually tried to replace the music earlier today. The .scd files at 'white_imgu\sound\pack\8000\usa' are basically just ogg vorbis (vbr 128kbps) files and any proper audio player should be able to just play them if you change the file extension to .ogg..
Opposite however doesn't seem to be true, I tried encoding an ogg file and replacing the title music with that one, but it just went silent, as if the file wasn't there at all.
I'm assuming there's another file header there that I'm missing from my ogg file, but I wouldn't know where to start at figuring that out. It could be something else as well of course.

I poked Rich Whitehouse, the guy who made Noesis over Twitter.
His code for Crystal Engine stuff is based on nohbody's FFXIV 1.0 Model Viewer code:
https://github.com/nohbdy/ffxivmodelviewer
AFAIK, same files, different Extensions.
So if you guys want to examine the formats, it's all basically there if you can parse the code.
Good luck!

Actually I just tried exactly this a few hours ago and ran into the same problem.

It's been stated several times. But do not disable MSAA. The game needs it.
Don't force AA from your driver unless you do it specifically per this post.
You may not notice it during gameplay (I can), but it's there.
I'd assume perhaps there is a header issue and maybe even file size issue. This would be crazy if it's hardcoded to expect a certain amount of bytes in the sound files.
.OGG 128Kbs is far better than MP3 128k, but is still 128k. Which is crap!
60GB of space, couldn't afford higher quality Audio? Wut. The sources exist!

Parsnip/Serah:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vgmstream/
VGMstream has support for .scd files, and the source code's there. if you're able to code, go nuts on an exporter/importer.

I can't code for shit.
I'm also fairly certain that in the case of .scd, vgmstream does the exact same thing as these audio players, it just ignores the "extra header" and plays the actual audio stream that is underneath it.

Nope, it parses the looping data correctly as well.
But looping data is just custom vorbis tag I thought. My point was that whatever header scd uses, it ignores it.
PS3 version uses MP3, X360 version uses XMA, PC version uses OGG.
All three version share the same header, which contains looping data and codec information.
(Something like MKV or AVI container formats).
I don't know about the other versions, I'm just wondering since looking at the pc version files, the looping data looks like a vorbis comment. Even tagging software sees it as a vorbis comment.
Unless that's there twice, inside the scd header and also in the vorbis comments?
But I'm the first to admit that I'm no expert.
Anyways, is it then possible to repack an ogg with appropriate scd header to replace the music with higher quality copies?

Hey guys, any hacktool to have the characters at high level if I just want to do a story run through?

Is it possible to disable the message in the upper left corner? It is always saying downsampling and frankly quite annoying. Haven't found an option or key for it yet.
Believe that's just a bug at the moment, it normally goes away. My steam pop-up notifications (so and so playing [something]) are kind of sticking around too, as did the fraps fps overlay getting blurry. I've only ever had a similar problem using an emulator, and I'm not sure what exactly causes it.

Alt tabbing fixes the sticky stuff. But the message on top keeps appearing

so I'm locked to 30 fps outside of battle. does not seem to be a performance issue as it is a constant 30, never up or down. Can anybody help me? im on a gtx 660 ti and i have vsync turned off in control panel as well as set to maximum performance. What is causing this to happen?
It should, but seems like some people are experiencing a bug where it doesn't.
Despite believing my 970 should run the game flawlessly downsampled, the frame rate jumping is pretty annoying. I accidentally started the game without gedosato and even though 720p was pretty ugly, it ran at a rock solid 60fps.
I think I'd like to try just a straight 1920x1080p, no down sampling. Should be a happy medium. I tried to set that as the render resolution in the ffxiii user config but it ignored it and kept downsampling from the previously set 3840x2160. Any way to force 1080? Do I need to add that resolution to the base config? I didn't have a lot of time to play with it.

i set my resolution to 1920x1080 in the ffxii configu file and it seemed to work fine.
Said "1920x1080 -> 1920x1080" when i started.

Make sure you're setting it in the default FFXIII config file and not your own user config. Seems like it overrides the one in your user config file.
I made a very minor edit to your bat files and it allowed me to extract everything. Thanks a lot. If you accept PayPal donations, I would be happy to give something.
If you wanna donate, you could look at my steam wish list and consider gifting something listed there. My steam id is Sectus.
