I can give my 2 Cents on Crowd Signs- Editing, without the need to work with a HexEditor.
I stress out that it's for the process to replace/Edit signs not to add new ones!
Tools you need:
- PAC Editor
- WrestleMinus
- rePac
- Photoshop and/Or GIMP
First you extract the pac inside the audience.pac. (Should be D2ACC42D89D89FFD) and extract the 0000.pac
Inside 0000.pac there are other files (like .bpe) select "extract all" and extrat the files in a folder where you would like to edit them.
Note: What you can try is to open the 0000.pac with rePac. If rePac shows you .dds files, congrats you might have it easier,
do a mass extract with rePac. In this case you have an easier job to preview the pictures to decide which signs you like to edit and which not.
But so far I only heard form one person thet rePac was able to who the image files as .dds "out of the box".
If rePac only shows you cryptic stuff or also just .bpe, then forget that, of course.
Open Wrestle Minus and go to the folder where you extratced those .bpe files with the Pac Editor. Select one and click on the "+"/unfold
it till it gives you the option "Picture View" (next to where you see "Text View")
If there is a file you like to edit, make a right clik and extract it (with the option you prefer). Now you should get a file by the name no01.dds
You can edit it like you know it from every other .dds, just make sure it's 128x128
The re-packing and re-injecting:
So let's say you edit the no01.dds in 0BB9.bpe, Open rePac and select "Create Texture Archive" and select the no01.dds
The name neepds to be 0BB9. No worries if it is a .pac
Inject that as BPE with the Pac Editor, at the right spot in the 0000.pac
D2ACC42D89D89FFD, and inject the the 0000.pac. An finaly inject the D2ACC42D89D89FFD in the audience.pac
Files names aside, it should workd the same way for the other files that conatin crowd signs.
I testet it. Not Crashes, no not correct displayed signs, no glitches.
