Definitely the most interesting feature I've ever implemented. You can double click a character in the game and it will bring up its debug menu.

Tested to see what NPCs with maxed out slider settings looked like in Demon's Souls PS3. And they're certainly... something. As expected, maxing out the same file in the PS5 version does nothing in final, but I had to be sure. Still hunting down where the NPC sliders are in PS5.

Working on texture atlas unpacking for Demon's Souls PS5. Gotta track down more of the proper names, but *hopefully* I can find them all and there'll be no need to deal with the hashed numerical names for eventual repacking.

Added support for dumping and converting back volume textures in Demon's Souls PS5 and hopefully improved conversions, getting rid of an issue where a pixels in the bottom right of the texture wouldn't get decoded. Planning this for SoulsFormatsNEXT for PS5 FromSoft games too.

did you know? the box art for モンハン日記 G and DX versions incorrectly depicts the shimmering eyes option "cross-eyed", whereas the original game's box shows them both oriented the same way, like in the actual game (albeit flipped horizontally)

Made most things that can have a model do so now in OverEasy to some degree. The Billy Hatcher editor is looking pretty good now.

Shadowth117 @shadowth117.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Honestly, pretty happy with how OverEasy, my Billy Hatcher editor is coming along. Most of the important stuff is rendering now straight off the game files. There's some things to work out, but it's fairly functional at this point.

7 days later and fully got it working! youtu.be/nqP9CIUiAfA The issue shown at the end of the video turned out to be a much larger issue than expected. Shadow the Hedgehog's chunk visibility system allows for more than one visibility chunk to render the same geometry/collision chunk.

There was never a PC port; Bloodborne is run on ShadPS4 emulator on PC. At some point they changed it to not extract PS4 .pkg files, but there are other programs to extract games you dumped that way if needed. The game does run great, my only rec is this fix www.nexusmods.com/bloodborne/m...

Much less janky version. Seems like Richie, the animal it replaces, has a run that loops at a set place that might be hardcoded, but it's definitely usable at this point after some minor animation edits to push it up in the air a bit.

Shadowth117 @shadowth117.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

I've revived the Billy Hatcher ice whale from the dead, complete with what I assume to be its proto egg pattern from the unused demo egg patterns. The animations need a tune up, but it works!

2124

Shadowth117 @shadowth117.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

Added rendering for eggs today and along with that put a transparent preview of what's in the egg above them. I figure this should help with clarity, especially with some eggs, like the Sonic eggs, having the same texture.

Shadowth117 @shadowth117.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

So apparently the old version of Pirates Island didn't have the weird quicksand collision. It's similar, but they must have added it by mistake in a refinement pass. The render models are also pictured for comparison.

021

Shadowth117 @shadowth117.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

Ended up adding support for loading the unused maps in PC Billy. Most of them aren't super crazy, but hey it's something.

010

Shadowth117 @shadowth117.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

Also found these today in Billy Hatcher PC in bm_stg01.gvm. No matching model unfortunately. The painted look, but different styling make me think it's from a mock up stage or maybe another Sega game.

030

Shadowth117 @shadowth117.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

I swear it must seem like I conjure these up sometimes, but as I comb through the PC version of Billy Hatcher I just find more weird stuff over time. Apparently there's a whole unused set of egg item animals with a pig that wasn't used entirely.

041

Shadowth117 @shadowth117.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

Probably known, but for whatever reason on Pirates Island, the collision under these two towers is for quicksand and you'll get a quicksand instadeath touching the steel structure there. I noticed this while implementing the collision viewing for OverEasy.

For the record, this guy basically said screw it and made his own Dark Souls Animation Studio from scratch for Dark Souls 2's crazy systems and went out of his way to reimplement much of the formats in C++ instead of using SoulsFormats. Worth a follow even if you can't spare on the monetary end.

Shadowth117 @shadowth117.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

Fun little factoid I found looking at the original Monster Hunter's models; Rathian at least seems to have a mesh specifically for a head cut, something afaik you can't do or see. The other cut segment you see inside is his detachable tail end at the origin.

Shadowth117 @shadowth117.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Decided for the hell of it to look at Monster Hunter 1's guts and get textures converting. There was a Noesis script I found, but it failed on unpaletted textures and 16 bit paletted textures so I fixed that. Will probably make it more user friendly before release.

Shadowth117 @shadowth117.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

I corrected an issue with my Bluepoint model conversion for Demon's Souls and rewrote a bunch of janky things I did initially. Meshes are now split more properly and textures don't get mixed up now. Enjoy and happy Monster Hunting in a few hours! github.com/Shadowth117/...

Okay, so after some trial and error, custom Billy Hatcher path file splines are working! youtu.be/qxCqEUSAbQQ They use binary space partitions to separate sections of them and it's slightly different than the collision ones, but I think I get it. Need to generate new BSPs and do user I/O still.

Apparently my tool works for a lot of Path of Exile 1 stuff as well. It's not everything, there's some things they handle a bit different, but the archives unpack and there's a lot of models that use the same format. Animations seem to be the same as well. Might add more proper support one day.
