Yeah, NiGHTS is quite small. In the game he has the same size as the kids, and they're only 12 years old, so...

In some cutscenes, the Ideya are really big; look at this for example. But other times they just appear as a glow in the hand.


What? That wasn't a metaphor :)

OH NO! RUN HELEN! THE IDEYA WILL EAT YOU! :D

Sorry, the sole thing is a play on words. "Sole" sounds like "soul," so "The thickness of their soul" could mean something about the kids' morality.

Is there any way you can actually swap models? Are there any Ocarina or Wiird codes?

NiGHTS and Reala Please?


Anyway I managed to Rip theese from a Savegame.
LINK
Bonus points if you can tell me my stats from theese!

Yes you can find out the stats, I saw My name in One of the files, Minus the first letter.
Something Weird I noticed is that when I look at theese Files in a Hex editor, The text has it's letter's seperated. For example in the banner:
......N.i.G.H.T.S.....................................................J.o.u.r.n.
e.y. .o.f. .D.r.e.a.m.s.
I'm Not really sure if this is common in wii games.

I guess the letters are separated because the text is encoded in Unicode instead of ASCII. So each character is encoded on 2 bytes instead of 1. The text and subtitles in Journey of Dream are also encoded that way. I guess that's common (though I've never checked).

Say, how did you extract files from a savefile? Actually, how did you get access to the savefile? I thought it couldn't be copied...


EDIT: I extracted these two pictures from the file "BANNER.BIN"

I got these using a homebrew Savegame extractor, so it got Copied wether it wanted to or not. For some reason, instead of making it the generic .Bin file, it gave me all these files.

Thanks for ripping this stuff. Now I know that the homebrew worked.

My guess on how the files are is:


BANNER.bin: Icon, Name, and Banner.
ALIFESTO.sav: My Dream
NTFRIEND.sav: Your friend's WiFi data
NTUSER.sav: Your WiFi data
SYSTEM: Everything else like the game progress, dream drops, etc.
This is all in the SLOT00 folder (except Banner.bin), so I guess every Save File has this Stuff.

I have absolutely no Idea what ALLAND.sav is.

Maybe "ALLAND.SAV" is the terrain data of My Dream? Ground height, items, and trees, while "ALIFESTO" contain only the data for the pians (in My Dream and also in the levels)? I don't know.

I'll try messing with this a bit.
EDIT: I think ALLAND.sav is just the Terrain not the Items and trees.
I'm not too sure because I only had a single hill.

I backed up my save file, Started a new game, Beat the level making NO interaction with the pians, Extracted the Save of that game, Replaced the File, Re installed the save, and finally tested it.

Why can't you see it? anyhow ----> Maskless Reala

It looks like he has bandages under his vest... Dang... Reala really got banged up since NiD (or was that NiGHTS' fault?).

I have to admit, I love this stuff. So far my favorite line that never made it is:

"Which means that I'll just have to shred your heart to pieces in order to obtain my prize!"

It shows just how ruthless Reala is. He's very well determined to get those Ideya.

This...this is hilarious. Heh heh. Reala, you are so less threatening now. His manliness just dropped a ton. X'D (Oh wait, he had pink nail polish to start... Oh well.)

"Du-al-ize!" ...Reala saying that in his third pose... I think the Dreamer would promptly wake up and scream.

This is all awesome. I think I might make a banner with some of the first page icons for a fanfic... Now I just need something to wrap it all up with. :P (Of course, I won't be putting up the banner until I'm at least halfway done with the story.)

Thank you! ^__^ This is all....awesome! (Can't stop saying that, especially after seeing what's surfaced.)

I was wondering, With all this Wonderful Hacking and ripping and all that, Might it be Possible to get Claris and Elliot from JoD?
Textures and Models, seeing as the Animations are just reused from Helen and Will (Among other things).
I'm kind of hoping the Model's are the same from the PS2-NiD (or Better).


Edit: Ffff.... I cant read I'm sorry...

i know it hasn't had a post since october, but i was wondering if there's a way you can convert the .ktl files into a brres file or a format like brawl's pac files?

Sorry dude. Kentilan has since left this forum. I'm locking this topic for archive purposes.
