Error unpacking new BFLAN Nintendo Switch about 3dskit

[Tyulis]

No problem, I'll take a look.
And yep, the BFLAN format is not the most well-known, so 3DSkit cannot read them completely. But I'll try to work on it after BFLYT

[Tyulis]

Okay, now that the BFLYT modules work fine, let's try on BFLAN !
I'll try to do the same thing as for BFLYT, a new and better implementation (BFLYT and BFLAN modules were in the first modules of 3DSkit...). The only problem is that the BFLAN format is not well documented at all.

[Tyulis]

I finally managed to make something usable, so you can test

[Migushthe2nd]

It indeed works, but it's still missing stuff. Great job so far!

First and only error, but those are those color files I was talking about in the first post:

Okay, that's another weird version difference, because all of my 7.2.1 files worked.
Can you send one or two of these files please ?
Thanks !

[Migushthe2nd]

The FooterBtn_textColor is one of the files that doesn't work. Link is in the first post.
But here you go, another file HudSignal_Color:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KGyb0eI4-GaBL6YR0gXfDcegVDBl9tZv/view?usp=sharing

[Migushthe2nd]

Whoops, wrong link. I updated it in the last post

[Tyulis]

Ok, many stuff was missing because of a bad structure.
Then, is there any working file with the current commit ? I found the issue, but as it is completely incompatible with other versions it would be very strange if other similar files were processed fine.

[Migushthe2nd]

Yeah there are many files working. 192 out of 207 in the ResidentMenu

[Migushthe2nd]

(ResidentMenu bflans)

[Tyulis]

Thank you very much !
So it is not a version issue but something not implemented yet.
BTW I found some documentation about the BRLAN format (the Wii's one), and thanks to that I was able to make certain values more explicit, and to complete a few things.

[Tyulis]

Okay, now it seems to work, and with more data than before.
BTW, if you have any idea about the meaning of the "EU" in "FLEU", I'd be glad

[Migushthe2nd]

I don't really know the context, so not really. Would you know what FLEU does? If not I'll just have to try it out on my Switch and see what changes.
Edit: I'm dumb: can't repack it yet

[Tyulis]

So, I guess that HudTime_Color.bflan has something to do with some kind of clock on the HUD.
If it doesn't annoy you, can you try to replace it with these hand-modified files, to see what kinds of effects it does ? Warning, the probability that the one in unknown value will provoke a crash is quite high, I won't blame you if you prefer not to try, I don't know the consequences of a crash due to a theme.

Another time, thanks for your help !

EDIT : I say a crash, but it also may be completely ignored if there are errors, I don't know

[Migushthe2nd]

The first two files don't seem to change anything, but the unknown value indeed crashes. Perhaps try modifying the BatteryConsole_Color. Maybe the HudTime_Color is forced to always be white or something like that. The BatteryConsole changes color with normal behaviour like plugging in the charger in.
Edit oh BatteryConsole_Color is something else, BatteryConsole_BatteryColor changes the color when charging if I'm correct, but you can still try

[Tyulis]

Ok, I made similar edits but on BatteryConsole_Color.bflan

BFLAN.zip

[Migushthe2nd]

Btw. the name C_Id in BatteryConsole_Color is also in many bflyts. It says something about the data of a panel with a picture. https://hastebin.com/paxetuvami.bash Under usd1 - entries there's C_Id.

{
    "name": "C_Id",
    "type": 1,
    "unk1": 0,
    "data": [
        1
    ]
},

data is either a 1 with "usd1 - L_<random (what is L?)>" or a 0 with "usd1 - P_<random picture?>"

[Migushthe2nd]

Ok, I made similar edits but on BatteryConsole_Color.bflan
BFLAN.zip

Same as last time: doesn't seem like anything has changed

[Migushthe2nd]

Maybe the E stands for Entry? Or External
Probably not..

[Tyulis]

Theorically, it defines the animated data, like Vertex Colors for FLVC, VIsibility for FLVI, ...
So why not External (...), if it is linked with usd1s

[Tyulis]

Anyway, the unpack.BFLAN module seems to work fine, so let's start the packing one

[Migushthe2nd]

I found it out, the EU stands for 'Extended User Information'.
In total there are 10 animation types (These are the official names):

1. Pane SRT
2. Visibility
3. Vertex Color / Transparency
4. Material Color / Text Shadows
5. Alpha Test
6. Texture Pattern
7. Texture SRT
8. Per-character transformation offset time
9. Extended User Information (String, Integer value list or Real number value list)
10. Indirect

Btw. are you on Discord?

[Tyulis]

Thank you ! I'll include this in the doc and the module
And yes, I'm on discord
