Re-Hexing Milk Bottle Help? - CLOSE

[Stormie ⛈️]

Hi all!

I'm super rusty on hexing toys so I used Jordyn's tutorials for this. I was able to hex the toy perfectly to look exactly how I wanted with some trial and error both in game and on the shelf. It was all working great and fantastic!

Now the issue is when it comes to changing the sprite name. This happens to me EVERY TIME I hex a toy it seems and it's ALWAYS this step and IDK wtf I'm doing wrong or what but I need help, please!!

Basically what is happening is that I will change the Milk Sprite from X1 to Z1 in LNZ Pro, it seems fine! However, when it comes to the Hex Editor part (which is why I hate hexing toys is because Hex Editor never ever looks or works like any tutorials lol) & when I change all of the X1 to Z1 in hex editor, the toy just straight up disappears from the game. It's done this multiple times now and I just wanna hex my first working milk bottle. T_T Also, I realized the toy crashes whenever I change it in LNZ Pro first then try to open it in game... so changing sprites is just not working for me? Halp please!

Help please?
Thank you!

I used the hex editor that was posted in the tutorial directory, but I'm happy to use a different one if provided the download link!

I have problems like that when I just change the sprite number in Hex Workshop (from X1 to Z1 for example, like you say) instead of actually typing the whole sprite name (Milk_X1 to Milk_Z1). I don't know, maybe there are other X1s in the file that get changed otherwise and make it crash?

[Mina]

Also I noticed that if I have Tinker, Hex Workshop and LNZ opened at once, I have to be careful about the order in which I save the file. I'm not sure if this is clear, but if I edit the toy in LNZ for example, then change the sprite names in Hex Workshop, then go back to LNZ without re-starting LNZ, then LNZ will save over the file I just edited in Hex Workshop, therefore making the toy crash in the game (since it overwrites the sprite name changes made in Hex Workshop). Phew that was confusing, lol.

Thanks Mina!
I already made sure I had only one program open at a time!
I also tried changing it to MILK_Z1 and same thing happens!

When I try to change the sprites in LNZ Pro, the toy becomes invisible on the shelf and when I click the empty spot, I get a debug error.
When I try to change the sprites in Hex Editor, the toy doesn't even show up. :/

Are you changing the sprite name in your hex editor by just find & replace/replace all?

If so I think Mina's right and you are changing more things than you need to change in the hex editor which might be what's breaking it. I just did a test and there are only two instances of Milk_X1 in the sprite section of the file that need to be changed (this is after doing all of the first steps in lnzpro). But "Milk_X1" has several more instances farther on in the file which don't need to be changed.

Maybe try find & replace all to change them All back to Milk_X1 and then try only changing those first two instances (the ones that are in the first third or so of the file, once you get to the bottom half that's things that don't need to be changed), and see if that might fix it?

Thank you!

It's not even working for me in LNZ Pro. :/ So I am unsure how to get it to work in Hex Editor if it's not even showing up in my game properly after changing them in LNZ Pro. So I'm not sure how to get this sorted currently. When I try to change the sprites in LNZ Pro, the toy becomes invisible on the shelf and when I click the empty spot, I get a debug error. I am changing all of them in LNZ Pro & Hex Editor according to the tutorial Jordyn has posted in the tutorial directory.

Once that gets sorted, I can try what you mentioned in Hex Editor as I was just going to find next and changing them as they come as per instructions. How do I know which ones need to be changed and which ones don't though?

Thanks for helping guys! I appreciate it! The sprite issue is always what made me stop hexing toys in the past and they cause a debug error so easily and I wanna pull out my hair and throw it all away. lmao.

Wait you are checking it in your game after changing the sprite names in Lnzpro but before you finish it in a hex editor?

That's one reason why it is invisible and breaks at that point - the process of renaming the sprite is only half finished, you have to do both parts not just one or the other before you try to check it in game. :) It's like if you type a url with a typo, the site may be there but your browser can't pull it if one of the characters is wrong. 

The only ones you need to change are in the section concerned with the Sprite, it's the section of text after "GetSprite" and the immediately following dots:



pretend this highlighted text still says Milk_X1! These are the only two instances I changed in my hex editor:






I totally understand if you don't want to mess with it anymore, but I feel like you are so close!

Hi Amanda! Thanks again for helping!!!!!
I was seriously just gonna be done with it today! You should write tutorials!

My hex editor doesn't look like that so I can't find what you're saying. There's no dots in mine either after typing "getsprite" in mine or anything that looks similar to that anywhere. It's not even finding "GetSprite" in my hex editor. It keeps showing everything but that, such as "Gethasremove....." or "?AW4Cursor....."
This is the problem I always have with hex editor. Nothing ever looks the same no matter what version or type of Hex Editor I have because it's often not the same hex editor used in tutorials & the find search doesn't work how I want it to either. This is my main beef with hexing toys & hex editor. I hate hex editor. lol I would use notepad if it were up to me, because then it looks the same universally! lol

I did find the hex editor you are using, which is a lot more clear and I was able to find the sections and change them and I THINK everything is working how it should be!! Thank you so much!!!

[Amanda]

Oh good, I'm so glad you were able to get it to work!!

I don't know anything about the other hex editors out there, but everything I know about toy and clothes hexing I learned from Buck Medusa and she uses HxD which is how I knew about that one. :)

I also very much recommend checking out her youtube tutorials if you want to learn/refresh more! It makes everything so clear and simple to actually watch it done.
