Blackbarrier in BN6

Well you need to use Mystery Data Sprite Hacking to make the sprite you want appear. In this case, I will use Blackbarrier from Rockman EXE 4.5

IDK if the MD hacking guide is still there but if it isn't, then I'll update the guide and explain that later

But if you know how to, then make the sprite appear and it should look like this
Posted Image

Then go to 32-bit
Posted Image
The value in red is the address you should go to
Posted Image
...But that doesn't look like normal sprite data so we move up one line and...
Posted Image
Click on the value in red and then click on the save button on the bottom of memory viewer, when it asks what size you want to save it as, I usually save between 10000 or 15000, but for small sprites like this one, I would probably save it as 5000 or less (I haven't done this in a while so I can't remember the size very well, but you don't need to be exact for it to work.)

Now open up the BN6 ROM and make the sprite you want to replace appear, in this case Bubble wrap
Posted Image
Now just like before, go to 32-bit view.
Posted Image
Go to the address in red (notice it is in a slightly different place, but it's still fairly easy to find, when you go to that address it should look like this
Posted Image
Move up one line and it should look like this
Posted Image
Click on the value in red and click load, find the file you saved earlier and click OK, now the sprite has been replaced, whenever you use bubble wrap, the barrier will appear instead of the bubble now.

This can be done with objects, Navis, viruses, and even mugshots (and anything else I may have forgot to say) from any BN game.

Note: Sprites from BN1-3 may appear backwards or with strange colors, but sprites from BN4-6 can be imported perfectly to each other, but mugshots from any game will import perfectly.

Also, I did this in one day so tell me if I made any mistakes, naturally I will probably need to update it later to make it more understandable.

That's a nice rewrite of my guide. Remember, my original is still on the TREZ homepage.

I try to revive the Gregar Beast Mugshot, and it works!
Unfortunately, when I jack out and go to somewhere else, it freeze! I import the mugshot with size 10000
Can someone tell me what I did wrong?

I also try to import Protoman's Mugshot from BN5 (He looks much professional than BN6), but it doesn't work...It just freeze...
Posted Image
As you can see, it works fine!
Posted Image
Then when I talk to somebody, this happen!!

Tell me what's wrong? Thanks!

Well, I don't know why you are saving at 10000. That's just TOO much for a Mugshot. Try around 5000-6000.

Still too much.
Mugshot size is usually 8xx
So, try with 1000 and you will be fine

Maybe...Can you post the size to save for Battle Sprites? I find the offset for CrossOver, and want to insert DJango sprites...
And, I've tried 5000 but still crash! Look like it delete all other mugshots...

Add it to a remote area like near the bottom. And mugshots are small. 1000 is more than enough. To find the size of most sprites, take the sprite's offset that comes after the one you want and subtract it from the offset of the sprite you want. The result should be the exact size.

MegaRock, that is because that is the end offset of that offset I think.

Hey! Thanx for the advice! I used 1000 and work perfectly fine!
I also try importing Battle sprites, too! It's so easy now!

Look! Play as Django! (His move is funny and not really finish, cause I take it from BN5...)
Can you...someday make a dump file library, so that we can find the dump file easier?

He shuffled through all the MD data for BN5 and BN4.5. Although we have the Sprite List Viewer by GM now.
