[THUG2/THUGPRO][PC] How To Change Song Names

[Skater1014]

This is just a tutorial on how to change the song names in the playlist menu of THUG2 for PC (or in THUGPRO if using my mod).

Things Needed:
- A hex editor of your choice (THUGPRO only, not needed for THUG2).
- A text editor (like Notepad, Wordpad, etc.).
- These files made by me for compiling purposes. (The "qbkeys to replace in skater_sfx.txt" file isn't needed & can be deleted.)
- A program to decompile & compile .qb files (links below).

FOR EDITING SONG NAMES IN THUG2:

1. Open "skater_sfx.txt" in a text editor and scroll until you see the song names.
Song names should look like this:

Code: Select all

	:i :a}

2. Rename the song/band names to whatever you want (change the number before the name to match the correct number of characters in the name) & save the file after renaming your songs.
Example:

Code: Select all

	:i :s{$band$ = %s(10,"25 Ta Life")$track_title$ = %s(14,"Over the Years")$genre$ = %i(2,00000002)$path$ = %s(24,"music\vag\songs\25TaLife"):s

changes to

Code: Select all

	:i :s{$band$ = %s(5,"aaaaa")$track_title$ = %s(15,"This is a test.")$genre$ = %i(2,00000002)$path$ = %s(24,"music\vag\songs\25TaLife"):s

3. Move the .txt file you just edited/saved along with the "COMPILABLE skater_sfx.qb_table.qbi" file to the same place as "roq cmd 3.exe".

4. Compile the file with "roq cmd 3.exe". (Make sure the "Exe" tab has "QB2.1.exe" in the box.)

5. Rename the compiled qb file to "skater_sfx.qb" and place in Game/Data/scripts/game/skater. (Don't forget to backup the original!)

6. Enjoy!


FOR EDITING SONG NAMES IN THUGPRO:

1. Same as THUG2's step 1.

2. Same as THUG2's step 2.

3. Same as THUG2's step 3.

4. Same as THUG2's step 4.

5. Open the compiled qb file in a hex editor. Also open THUGPRO's default "skater_sfx.qb" file located in data/qb/game/skater.

6. Select & copy the song names (from the newly compiled file) from here...

to here.


7. Go to the THUGPRO "skater_sfx.qb" file and paste what you copied from step 6 in here.


8. Scroll to the end of the pasted data and select from here...

to here.


9. Delete what you just selected.


10. Save the file (that you pasted in) as "skater_sfx.qb" & place in data/qb/game/skater. (Don't forget to backup the original!)

11. Enjoy!

How do you read a hex editor in that format? My goodness man.
