Make your own graffiti into the game

Hello! I'm developing a graffiti editor for this game, just wanted to see if there's any interest in it.

- Any help or ideas on this would be greatly appreciated

honestly that sounds like way more trouble than its worth. This game has combat that can be pretty damn tedious and just from how annoying it can be on the larger levels to back track and figure out what to do, making it open world sounds awful imo. If somehow this game came back or got a spiritual successor I would want it to lean into the painting, environmental puzzles, and stealth more in tight levels since stealth and open world dont mix well. Keep in mind this game almost beat Halo for game of the year and I place that mostly on its great pacing and creative use of levels making it an open world game like Spider man seems like a bad idea since it would need to accommodate players at varying stages of progress which would hinder the games pacing,

Download the zip from GettingUpTool:
https://github.com/nexusvue/GettingUpTool/archive/master.zip
(Be sure you use the fork from nexusvue, because they are changed the behavoiur to find the game folder it dosen‘t work anymore with Asbra‘s solution.)
https://github.com/Asbra/GettingUpTool/archive/master.zip
unzip it

Open Form1.cs from your extracted folder with Notpead++ or Brackets, Atom, Sublime editor or IDE but not with notepad! Notepad will maybe break your file.

Search for
STEAMPATHHERE
Replace the text (only the text, not the quotation marks) with your Path of the game
e.g.
C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Marc Ecko's Getting Up 2\
(don‘t forget the backslash at the end; or you want search all games for files)

Save the file Form1.cs

You should already Installed Microsoft.NET take a look at:
C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework
(the GettingUpTool is build with Net 4.5, I have tried it with version 4 and works well)

e.g.:
C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319/
or
C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.5/
Be sure in one of this folder is a file with the name csc.exe and a file with name MSBuild.exe.

Copy/remember the path to your version you have.

Create a file, in the same folder you extracted the zip you downloaded and all the .cs files are in there, and name it:
make.bat

Paste following in your make.bat file (be sure the framework hit your version you already checked above):


PATH C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319/
msbuild /property:Configuration=Release GettingUpTool.csproj
PAUSE

Save and double click the make.bat file and let the magic happens.
You should see after few seconds a green Build succeeded maybe some yellow Warnings and grey 0 Erros.

Now you have a new bin/Release folder go in there, you will find the GettingUpTool.exe
Double click it and enjoy.

So uh... I can't get the make.bat file to work. The error says something about "file project not existing". I really have to idea what I'm doing...

Is your "make.bat" file in the same folder like the "GettingUpTool.csproj" file?

Did you open the project with visual studio?
If you have, then there is may be a problem with the "solution user options" (suo) file.

I haven't done anything with it besides what's written in the tutorial hence why I'm not even sure where I went wrong with this...

Ok, the only remaining thing I can suggest is to update dotNET or install an older version.
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework
And use the new/old version as reference in your make.bat file.
Or/And maybe install Visual Studio (if you don’t already does) to have some dependencies installed that I never thought about.

You think is possible to make some networking to this and maybe create a multiplayer mod where you can do your own pieces?

That's way too much work. Noone has even reverse-engineered the game engine publicly, from what I know of.
Should start there, try to achieve singleplayer mods.

It is, yes.

Specifically modified the source code of the tool and created a configuration file, this way it will make it easier for you to modify the path of the textures of the game

I made a tutorial video on how to use custom graffitis, using the GettingUpTool (by Asbra & nexusvue @ github)

Thank you for the explaination!

By the way, in case you guys see the unhandled exception "Cannot create a file when that file already exists" whenever you click the "Replace texture" button, this is because the tool tries to create a backup file of the original texture with the extension .bak every time you click the button, and if you have replaced it once it will fail the next time.

To fix this:

1. Open Form1.cs with a text editor.
2. Search the line with the text "Backup original texture".
3. Append a new line after that one with this code:

if(!File.Exists(_path + ".bak"))

It should look like this: https://i.imgur.com/ucI1APJ.png
4. Run make.bat again to create a new version of the .exe.

Now the tool will try to create the backup file only once (the first time you replace a texture).
