DRAVEN Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 PTExplorer PTExplorer is a tool that will let you edit paint tool files for svr2010 on your PC allowing you to import your own images So here's the sequence of events that will work, 1. Transfer your .PT (Paint Tool) file to PC and extract images using PTExplorer as (*.bmp) 2. Open the bmps in PSP or Photoshop and edit them Remember that since black is the transparent color in the in-game pallette you need to change the black slightly in PS so it doesnt appear as a transparent in game. 3. Save the bmps of the same size & color depth. 4. Reimport the bmps into the .pt file to slots of your choice with PTExplorer, but don't use slot 0 5. Save the *.PT file from PTExplorer 6. Use modio to rehash and resign the .pt file 7. Transfer it to the XBox using Xplorer360, overwriting the old Paint Tool .pt file 8. Go to the Paint Tool in-game: the game will detect a corrupted file and when asked to overwrite the file, do it! The game will correct the file, make slot 0 the default logo, but keep the other logo's intact. Download PTExplorer V1.6 Made by Mr.Mouse of: Xentax Latest update: - added readme.txt - fixed a colour bug when loading from BMP. May even help corruption problem in-game. - fixed bug with slot 10 and importing - added View Alpha to show the intensity of each colour in the image in-game - added tool-tip text when hovering over a button - fixed dialogs Bugs: - the threshold for transparency seems to be wider than just (0,0,0). I've had a couple images where I used the color black set to about (3,5,6) and the game still recognized those as transparent. I ended up making those parts lime green in PSP/PhotoShop, then changing them to black with the in-game paint tool. Thanks to FatalArms for this video tutorial... Quote
Smacktalks Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Awesome! This should come in really handy for CAW creators. Do you need a modded 360 to be able to get the save file? or is there another way to do it? Quote
DRAVEN Posted December 20, 2009 Author Posted December 20, 2009 No modded xbox needed you just have to hook you 360 HDD to your PC Quote
ALL STAR Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Really thats cool might give this a go, how would you got about hooking up the 360 to the pc though? Quote
Aero Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 theres a few options, get an xport or get the transfer kit xbox gave out when the 120gb elite hdd's came out to copy all ur old crap across to the new hdd, check ebay! Quote
DRAVEN Posted December 21, 2009 Author Posted December 21, 2009 Or you can open your HDD and conect it via SATA port in your PC Quote
DRAVEN Posted December 24, 2009 Author Posted December 24, 2009 PTExplorer V1.5 releasted should fix slot 10 bug. -Now has palletes in the tool... Quote
DRAVEN Posted December 29, 2009 Author Posted December 29, 2009 use winzip or 7zip.. its a 7 zip file... Quote
Guest Petchy Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Petchy off caws here, how would I go about getting my save data off my HDD using a USB Adapter, and how would I extract the paint tool file? What softwares would I need etc.? Quote
DRAVEN Posted January 6, 2010 Author Posted January 6, 2010 Usb ??? you need Xplorer360 photoshop or paint shop pro... the rest is in the 1st post.. Quote
InsaneSabu! Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Well, I shall be using this.. .. so wondered where I'd go from there onwards because it mentions rehashing etc, or does Xplorer do all that business? Edited January 6, 2010 by InsaneSabu! Quote
Smacktalks Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Nice one Petchy, I think I might look into getting one of those, seems much easier. Quote
IamPayne Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Well, I shall be using this.. .. so wondered where I'd go from there onwards because it mentions rehashing etc, or does Xplorer do all that business? On dial-up here so I can't see the video you mentioned. But you can download Modio for free and it has its on HDD explorer and it has a resigning tool. As long as you have your HDD hooked up to your computer you can inject your pt file directly back to your HDD from the resigning portion of the Modio program. I did this for the first time with success on a Suicide character. Now I do have a question. Any .bmp file that I put back into PTXplorer always shows up as completely transparent. So for a real logo or picture that I would want to put in, I would have to manually go over all 256 colors and make them viewable. That's a pain in the rear. Anyone else who uses this know how to correct this problem without using the Paint.net program that's listed in the video? I don't mind doing it manually with a logo that is only 10 colors or less, but manually setting 256 is extremely time consuming and too much of a hassle. Quote

I had the same problem - if you use the recommended app 'Paint.net' this takes care of the problem - I was stubbornly trying to use Photoshop as I was more familiar with it Quote
