Finally after two years of FIFA I'm back to PES.
I'd like to code some little tool to inject bitmaps and graphics into the binary save games of PES on XBox.
I've opened the files with a hex editor (bless on Linux) and found intresting data.
In the UNIFORM binarys are two png pictures included. Two times the PES symbol known from the XBox file browser. The nested PNG image starts with ".PNG" and ends with "IEND.B`." Also stated in the PNG standard. But this data is pretty much useluss for us.
Beginning from offset 0xb00a for example there is some data looking like repeating bits. Could be some image data. This offset isn't the same in two different files, so you best search for a an hex word that spells that spells "6B 4F B7 CD 95 FB". This word is repeating very often in the file. Seems to be a commonly used color (alpha channel?)
Best method of checking how colors and lines of a bitmap are represented would be to have one file in different versions.
Version 1: All white or something
Version 2: Minor changes, Leftmost pixel in first line black, rightmost pixel in last line black.
I've to access to my XBox this weekend. So I'would be happy if someone could provide me with this two files.
If we get those changes and understand them, we could map those information to an image format that could be understood by photoshop or gimp. And then... well nice Emblems, logos and kits for all xbox users.
I'd like to start a GPL google code project written in python for easily importing bitmaps, if we could hack this file format.
Regards
Matthias
