How can I edit the title of the songs?

Is there a way on how I can edit the title of the songs on my soundtrack? The tutorials are no longer available... thanks

As per my PM, there are a couple of tutorials in our Wiki. I believe there might also be a couple in the Tutorials section of the Forum but if not, the ones in the Wiki should point you in the right direction.

You can edit the song titles using a hex editor, I forgot what file to open, but its really tricky. I could only make slight changes to song titles without making the game crash.

biohazard715 actually located an old tutorial which he passed along to me, which you can now find here in the Wiki:

Hey folks:

I was very appreciative to find this post, and the tutorial in the wiki was very helpful in getting me started, but the results just didn't get me where I wanted to be. I finally figured out the reason: The locations in the hex are inflexible; for your edited song titles to show up correctly, they need to fit in the same spaces the original songs fit in. So I did some work and took some notes and since it worked pretty well for me (some of my songs just didn't want to cooperate with the slots I had to work with), I thought I'd share.

I used FXEDIT to find all of this information. Along the bottom of the FXEDIT window you can find the current Rec and Pos, first in hex and then in regular numbers, which I gave here.

Locations for starting character, given as (Rec, Pos):

Code:

     Title        Artist      Album
1.   491, 212   492, 12      492, 28
2.   492, 46      492, 74      492, 106
3.   492, 156   492, 186   492, 202
4.   492, 252   493, 26      493, 78
5.   493, 128   493, 158   493, 176
6.   493, 234   494, 44      494, 62
7.   494, 116   494, 166   494, 188
8.   494, 238   495, 2      495, 38
9.   495, 58      495, 92      495, 114
10.   495, 164   495, 186   495, 202
11.   495, 252   496, 30      496, 52
12.   496, 76      496, 104   496, 138
13.   496, 178   496, 228   496, 246
14.   497, 34      497, 78      497, 98


This translates into the following space limitations for each track, including 2 spaces after each entry:

Code:

1.   28      8      9
2.   15      16      25
3.   16      8      25
4.   16      26      25
5.   15      9      29
6.   33      9      28
7.   25      11      25
8.   10      17      10
9.   17      11      25
10.   11      8      25
11.   17      11      12
12.   14      17      20
13.   25      9      22
14.   22      9      11   


As you can see, not always a lot of space. You'll have to get a little creative in spots, abbreviating or leaving words out as necessary. In one case I had to switch the track and artist to get it to fit, but I think it still looks fine. Editing the hex is a little tedious, but it's pretty cool to have new songs and have their titles show up on the screen as well. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the notes. Might have to add that to the Wiki page.
