Ultimate Chimera

You may have seen this file in the posteffect folder in an szs file. What is it?

It controls lighting effects (hence the 'blight' filetype).

Header is:
0x00 (4) = "BGHT" magic
0x04 (4) = File size (always 05 A8)
0x08 (4) = Unknown value (seen as 02 00 00 00 in Bowser's Castle)
0x0C (4) = Unknown value (always 00 00 00 00?)
0x10 (2*2) = Unknown value (both seen as 00 10 in Bowser's Castle)
0x14 (4) = Unknown value (always 00 00 00 FF?)
0x18 (F) = Padding

However, one thing to note is that although 16 lights are stored in this file, only 8 can be referenced by the KCL (IDs 00 to 07). The next 8 have unknown uses.

Here is one Light Object.



The first object starts at 0x28.

These addresses are relative to the start of the object.
0x00 (4) = The magic, LOBJ
0x04 (4) = Size of each one (always 00 00 00 50)
0x08 (8, or 2*4?) = Unknown value (always 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00)
0x10 (4) = Unknown value (00 00 02 01 if used, 00 00 00 01 if not)
0x14 (2) = Light ID, also references a color at the end of the file for ambient light
0x16 (2) = Unknown value (always 06 41)
0x18 (4*3) = Vector, angle of light
0x24 (4) = Unknown value (always 00 00 00 00)
0x28 (4) = Unknown value (always 00 00 00 00)
0x2C (4) = Unknown value (always 00 00 00 00, these three might be a vector?)
0x30 (4) = Float Unknown value (always 3F 80 00 00)
0x34 (4) = RGBA Light Color (RR GG BB AA)
0x38 (4) = Unknown Value (always 00 00 00 FF)
0x3C (4) = Float Unknown Value (Part of another vector? Always 42 B4 00 00, 90 in float point)
0x40 (4) = Float Unknown Value (Always 3F 00 00 00?)
0x44 (4) = Float Unknown Value (Always 3F 00 00 00?)
0x48 (8) = Padding? (always 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00, unless it is the last light. In that case, it's 00 00 00 FF 00 00 00 00)
0x50 = End of object, start of next

At 0x0528 in the file, a list of colors starts, separated by four 00's. These are the ambient colors used by each light. They're in order.

0x00 (4) = RGBA Ambient Light Color
0x04 (4) = Padding
0x08 = start of next color

Just like light objects, there are 16 ambient colors. All unused ones are 64 64 64 FF (a neutral gray).

So now it'll be possible to edit peoperly this posteffect? It's this, or I missed the point of the thread

Ultimate Chimera

Colors and light angles, as of now... So yeah, that's about right.

so, out of curiosity, in Common.szs there is the texture for the bikes flame for when you trick and get the boost or manuel boost ect... how do i change the flames colour? i have a feeling its in default.blight

Ultimate Chimera

It's not in the blight file, it's inside RK_Race.breff.

TD*fergal5963

ok that is a lot of hex lol. which lines would i find the color's hex code for the mini turbo spark and the flame that appears when shrooming, using a mini turbo, boost pad ect

You might want to compare the original file with DarkyBenji's. (I think he has edited it)

Ultimate Chimera

Extract them using Wiimm's tools, then compare with DarkyBenji's. It's easier, but there are many files for a single miniturbo color.

I thought blight was a disease
