[PS3] how to inject textures into painttool WITHOUT Jailbreak

[phuria]

Hi everyone,

I keep getting the "savedata created by another user" error when I launch the game. I did follow this tutorial  but nothing works.

Here's what I did, step by step : 

 

1) Downloaded the archive and unzipped it on by usb stick.

 

2) created a new user account, played a game that has unprotected save data (I used Borderlands) and copied that savegame to my usb stick.

3) Went to Borderlands' savedata folder, copied and pasted its param.sfo file to the "Save Game Tools" folder and renamed it to "template.sfo".

 

4) still on the "Save Game Tools" folder, I launched "ResignEU.bat" since I am from Europe.

 

5) I copied "BLES01937_SAVE" from the Game Tools folder to the Savedata folder.

 

6) turned the console off, put the stick in the console, started my PS3 with the stick inside, went to my PS3 saves on the usb stick, copied and pasted that German WWE 2k14 save file on my PS3.

7) launched the game and it didn't work. What am I doing wrong ? it looks like I did everything right, except that. And I really want it to work because my 2k14 save data got corrupted days ago and I'd like the re-create my CAWs the easy (and best-looking) way.

Thanks for the tutorial though. And thanks for helping.

The unlocked save works only on the new user account.

 

Since you lost your wwe2k14 save, you can skip this step and you can create the borderland save on your main account. Then use this param.sfo and the wwe2k14 save should work on your main account.

Thank you. I simply redid everything and it worked this time.

 

 

EDIT : I ended up doing this on another account, though. Adding logos mean re-downloading your CAWs every time, at least that's what I have to do, so doing this on an account made specifically for logos is safer.

you're welcome!

The links to KG's tools seem to no longer work.  Is there a new place I can find and download them?  I appreciate any help you can give on this.

[kim666]

try this link https://www.sendspace.com/file/reti7u

[Deadthing79]

Thank you sooooooo many times over.  I've been asking and asking people to upload some textures for me.  Maybe now I have a chance in hell of doing it myself, LoL.

[Deadthing79]

Ok, I've uploaded it and managed to even get the save to be recognized by the game, but it says my Logos are Damaged.  I followed the Tutorial to the letter, but don't know what I'm doing wrong.  Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?  Everything seems correct on the dat file and that's the only place I know I had to severely edit.

[Deadthing79]

I think it's because I can't see the fix painttool button on KG's editor.  It must be plus sized to the point where I can't even click it or something.

You need to download one logo from cc and save it, this will fix the "Logos are Damaged" Error.

[Deadthing79]

Weird thing is, I tried that.  I'm trying some more little graphical tricks, thinking maybe I've botched the images somehow.  Hopefully I can correct this soon.  I'm happy to report that I now have a clean, easy to move save file, regardless.  It's not unlike playing around with Borderlands 2 save files, downside is I can't crack my own files.  I'd LOVE to be able to edit my own roster and fix these stupid gender limit issues.

Instead of 78 DA EC i get 78 01 ED ON THE HEX EDITOR.

I also keep getting this guys problem on the Hex Editor, which may be contributing to my problem.

[Deadthing79]

UPDATE!!  I'm further along.  I can view the slots on Paint Tool, but they are all blank.  I look at them and get nothing but blank files.  I've got the file format right with 0 Mip Maps and no extra goodies, just raw images.  What am I doing wrong?

Here are each of the files I'm trying to put into the game.  If anyone can either do this for me or tell me where I'm going wrong, I'd be greatly appreciative-

I'd show it to you with direct thumbnail links, but nobody hosts DDS files.

If your LOGOS.DAT ist very tiny <100kb then this is your problem.

[Deadthing79]

Yeah, it's roughly 30kb, like a raw logo file.  Got any clue on how I'm supposed to beef it up?  I'm feeling kind of dumb here because so many on this topic have figured it out (without telling us what they did mind you) and are uploading constantly.

I also have to tell you that the only thing I end up skipping on the tutorial is the "Fix painttool" button on KG's editor because the one you gave me seems to not have it.  I even used a program called infinite windows to try and stretch my screen to see if the program was just so big it was going off screen.  The sucker has no bottom half of the program.  It's really glitchy and I can't fix the paint tool at all on step four.  Do you have a version of this program that's smaller in size or able to work on a 1366x768 resolution?

[kim666]

This is not my program K.G. is the creator and this is a hacked version, the tool is not for free. Maybe something like gimespace works http://www.gimespace.com/information/about-gimespace.html

 

Or you plug your netbook in your tv.

[Deadthing79]

THERE'S AN IDEA!!!  LoL... didn't think about that.  *Bangs head on desk*  Sorry man.  Bet I seem like a real pest here, but I've been trying for a long time to get just a muscle texture for ladies into the game.  Nobody wants to take me up on the offer, so I'm having to bulldoze this the hardway.

[Deadthing79]

HOLY HELL BALLS AND BISCUIT GRENADES!!!  IT WORKED!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!

[kim666]

glad you managed it

[Deadthing79]

Yeah I've asked people to do this for me for the last three games.  Even made paint tools for some of these uploaders and did little favors, but never got a return on it.  Thing is, anybody that can read can do this and they really should.  Especially the ones who don't have next gen console money.  It may be a pain and you probably will need a computer that has a monitor that's capable of going at least 900 or greater on vertical resolution.  KG971's tool is very rough and unfinished.  I'm amazed the guy asks money for that program, considering it has no PS3 support without significant effort and can't be resized to accommodate a laptop screen.  Ah well, I got it for free so I can't complain too much, just that if that's the full program, he's charging waaaaaay too much.  If he gave us flawless PS3 support, then there'd be money on the table for him from me.

so the paintool still works just as last years?

It works only for 2K14, on 2K15 they changed the compression format again.

[theblasterkid]

Can someone re-upload the 360 save with painttool.pt?

[kim666]

I can re-upload the save and painttool file, but this method doesn't work anymore because the online server for 2k14 is switched off.

[theblasterkid]

Oh yeah. That sucks. Are there any other methods besides jailbreaking?
