[MOD] XBox 360 / Playstation Button Icons on PC

[grasmann]

EDIT: I recommend the use of my Patcher from now on.

If you want to play the game with a XBox 360 Gamepad you're probably as ♥♥♥♥♥♥ as me because the game shows 1, 2, 3 and 4 instead of A, B, X and Y.

I just couldn't accept that and searched for a possibility to change this.
Apparently I found a way.

EDIT: Added Playstation Version

@Moderators
The method to fix the button icons is too complicated to explain here.
I decided to provide a download link to the modded game file.
It's not a crack or anything like that, so I guess it should be fine.
I'm just trying to help people here.

Latest XBox360 Version (v3):
- FILE WAS DELETED BY KONAMI ( thanks Konami ) - USE THE PATCHER -

Installation:
Extract the file "GLOBAL.PAK" to "steamapps\common\Silent Hill Homecoming\Engine\pak\pc" folder.

Problems:
In flash scenes ( when enemies grab or something ) the button icons are a little bit cut on the bottom side.
Maybe I'll fix this purely visual problem later.

Changelog:
v3
- New custom button icons for flash scenes
- Restored animation in flash scenes
v2
- Fixed flash scene button icons
v1 - release
- Fixed dialog and action button icons

Latest Playstation Version (v1):

Maaaaan, thx a lot for this. You're awesome. You don't know how long I've been searching for this. I really appreciate that.

[grasmann]

Glad I could help.

I had one situation when a dog grabbed me and pressing the shown button didn't help me at all.
But that just could've been the game and how it sometimes doesn't react to input.
The port is horrible. XD

In the meantime I was grabbed by several needlers and everything worked fine.

EDIT:
I made a new version of this.
Update:
- New custom button icons for flash scenes ( enemy grab and so on ).
- Restored animation in flash scenes

Thanks a lot. Now it's even better. Finally I can play it properly.

Wow. Im going to download that and give it a try. Is there any chance you could create a mod so this runs at 60fps at all? Thanks for your efforts :)

@Alpha Kazai
A Playstation version is possible.
If I have the time I'll make one.

@djshauny1
As far as I know that's not possible.
There are some fps settings in one of the config files, but they don't do anything.
And with the scarlet pak viewer you can look into some of the scripts.
Many of them have exact frame values for certain events.
It's just how the game was programmed.
I'm pretty sure even if it was possible to remove the lock it would most certainly break the whole game.

Ok @grasmann thank you :)

I would still recommend my patcher though.
I mean if you just want the xbox buttons this is fine but the patcher does more stuff, is smaller and can revert the changes with a simple click.

Ok, I have no idea how to reinject the textures again, but Im trying to fix the white border, this textures, should fix it but i cant test it. I used xbox one buttons since i could find any good looking 360. They are in Targa format, 32 bits

For the mod I injected the bytes of the images into the GLOBAL.PAK using a hexeditor.
Pain in the ass.
The Patcher basically does the same thing by opening the file and replacing the necessary bytes.
I don't really intend to work on this again and I don't have the time right now anyways.

If you want to make your own modded file:
- Open the GLOBAL.PAK as well as your button image with a hexeditor.

The data for the flash buttons are on the following positions:
105156744 ( XBOX A / PS X )
105166984 ( XBOX B / PS O )
105177224 ( XBOX X / PS Square )
105187464 ( XBOX Y / PS Triangle )
( You can't make it compatible to both, so you got to decide or make two versions XD )

- Be careful with the file headers. The flash buttons actually have the data of two images but only one file header

One thing though: According to the PAK file the images seem to be tga files but really they are png files if I remember correctly.

why isnt the file showing up when i click your links to get the mod?
