Yo. First off I wanna say a massive kudos to you for getting those assets. I don't know how you did it, but you're doing this wiki a great duty in getting assets this wiki has probably been trying to get since the game released a whole year ago. In your search can you see about getting a render of Sora's sprite in his regular clothing with no forms active? This is just so he can be added to the Party Members page. Thanks again.

:It should be already there, [[:File:Sprite_Sora_N1_KHIII.png]]. I'll get Rapunzel on my next playthrough with the new difficulty options and I still have to upload the KH2 Sora sprite from the beginning of the game. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 18:58, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

::I did not notice that.

And that's good to hear that you'll get Repunzel soon. And by the way, I don't expect you to do this since it'd probably be a tedious task and you're already doing all the work yourself, but it'd be helpful if you could inform us how to do it as well, so you won't be the only one having to do this task of uploading assets straight from the game's files yourself. Just a suggestion as it'd also teach us something. But if it's too complicated to explain, then no worries.

:::As far as I know the KH3 assets that are floating around on various sites only contain the models, maps and most textures. Everything related to the menu (font, items, sprites, gui etc.) hasn't been made available yet by whoever extracted these resources in the first place. To get the sprites I cropped 4k screenshots I made myself, you can still see where I had to remove the "MP" text. The reason I did this like a year later is because I had hoped the real sprites would be available by now which would have saved quite a bit of work. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 00:04, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

So, uh...it's been a couple of months and I was really hoping to get these up before the anniversary reveal. If you can't upload these or don't respond in the next few days, I know some guys in the KH modding scene who may be able to help. But they're pretty awkward (I'm even more awkward!) lol, so it's sort of my last resort. Anyway, hope everything's going good for you and this time away isn't due to something bad. --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 23:16, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

::Fantastic! Thanks. I'll start putting these together. They're much simpler than I expected so this shouldn't take long. There's also some other neat stuff in here for the rest of the site that could use updating, like the high res HUD portraits. :) --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 02:40, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
== Wanna help me make sense of some stuff? ==
Pre-warning: This is not gonna be a whole lot of fun. Lately I've been going through anything and everything else from KH3 that I could, and though to update the symbols page with some magic circles from KH3 - there are a lot of them in there, so that's good. And I was able to get MX and the Replicas' first circle in, no problem. The rest, though...? Well...[https://www.mediafire.com/file/tsrax1tybuafvi7/why.zip/file just take a look for yourself]. I don't even...I don't even know what to do with that. Like, how the game itself can even make something so majestic looking out of that lol. I've literally never seen this kind of compression method before. There's SOMETHING usable in there! But like, where to even start? I've tried isolating colors, and sure enough I can maybe squeeze something usable here and there, [https://i.imgur.com/PEFE8O6.png like with this], but most of them just come out chopped up. --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 02:00, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
:Some of them still looked swizzled wrong here and there leading to not so ideal results. I got [https://www.mediafire.com/file/r7dcfq09otn7grl/though.zip/file these] from 13th Vessel and Vladabdf a year ago I think, the separate circles are part of this collection as well but the quality might be worse. Since the elements are symmentrical there might be a way to restore them by hand but I that would still be a lot of work. Didn't someone help you with the KH0.2 textures? Mybe this could also be applied here as well. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 10:26, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
::Yeah lol, that was Vlad who helped me out. But some of those are in fantastic quality while others....not so much. I'll upload some of these, thanks! I've actually been working pretty closely with the modding community of late, and this is basically what there is. If any major headways are made, you'll know about it! But yeah, shame that there's still a bunch of stuff in the game that's still uncooperative despite it being cracked fully open. --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 22:07, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
::Well, actually...I kind of don't know where most of these came from lol. More like don't remember. The ones that are in good-enough quality to make the cut are...1569101181660, E3LTIS, ef_boss_magic, ia3I9X, lbgpRa, um...the otwo with the really long filenames with miguel's name in them lol, and uoxBd2 I think. --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 22:19, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
== No Heart stuff ==
Been a while! Quick random question! You uploaded the No Heart weapons images on here, but do you by any chance still have the models around? --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 10:04, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
:Yes, you can find the HD models [https://www.mediafire.com/file/nk4uzwzsbtfc3jm/KHBBSHD+No+Heart+Weapons.zip/file here], the original textures are still inside the PMOs as well if you're interested, the necessary plugins for Noesis are in the folder. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 18:14, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
::Yes! Thank god for that, I was so hoping you would say they were in there lol. T_T I actually snooped around in there, but I'm obviously not a models guy... A friend of mine needed some stuff, so it's excellent that it's all there. Thank you so much! --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 04:21, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
So, uhm...this is kind of a strange request, but it's related to these No Heart assets you've provided. Do you think you can hop on Discord? I have something to show you. I'm still going by "The DJ That Time Forgot" on there lol. --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 18:21, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
Hey, just a quick heads up but Kura's sent a Discord friend request. He wants to talk! He's a lovely dude, you're gonna dig him. :) --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 22:32, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
== Need help with ripping stuff from certain games ==
Heya, I heard that you've got experience with ripping stuff from the games. Just wanted to ask you for some help on getting some of the rips from certain KH games. I'm having a bit of trouble trying to rip and find whatever I'm looking for (mostly for my own personal uses and maybe for the wiki). If possible, could you perhaps help me when you have time or check your Discord too? Thanks. -[[User:Freddy1993|Freddy1993]] ([[User talk:Freddy1993|talk]]) 04:08, 17 September 2022 (PST)
== KHUX Sounds ==
Full disclosure: I lurk in your [https://www.mediafire.com/folder/ezcdmdqkut6p1/Kingdom_Hearts mediafire folder] from time to time to see if there's anything useful lol. Either for this joint, or something else (as you might know!). And I actually did lock onto something! The full KHUX sounds directory that you extracted - all 2,813 files. However, I noticed that these are actually all broken. :/ Do you think you can take a look at that - along with DR sounds? I won't lie to you, there isn't any specific reason why I'm asking for these. However, your dumped resources have been ''insanely'' useful for...basically every occasion, and I know this will too. :) --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 23:03, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
:They all still work for me, do you have a player that can work with the Ogg Vorbis file format? I could convert them to mp3 but this is how they were stored in the games. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 20:50, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
::Yeah, I'm....'''''not''''' gonna ask you to convert 2.3k files lmao. I wouldn't ask my indentured servants to do that. I do have ways of play Ogg Vobis, but these files in particular don't seem to cooperate regardless of playback app. Having said that, converting them does appear to be the ticket......for ''some'' of them. Like, about half. And I have no way of knowing which ones work fine, and which ones don't. I was thinking it was something to do with filesize, but that ain't it either. As an example, 501006018.ogg is the Daybreak Town theme. But, 501006074.ogg is just nothing, and yet it's a bigger file - 4.8mb to Daybreak's 4.2. It's an absolute mess, and if you have any way to make sense of it, it'd be a huge help. :| --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 05:30, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
:::I checked the files, even extracted them again, but I can't seem to find the problem, everything plays fine for me. There may be issues with the file header from time to time since I just renamed them and did nothing more, so some audio players might not like that. Anyway I converted them for easier use (hopefully). You can find them [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BwvuHBVnHukRTXNsMzIwRlFIeG8?resourcekey=0-QOJUaWVmJnIi_1dNuZ2itw&usp=sharing here], I have problems uploading to mediafire recently. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 10:51, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
== Re:coded maps naming glitch ==
Hiya. Considering your knowledge regarding game files and such, do you have any idea why the Re:coded maps have those odd names attached to them? And would it be acceptable to remove them through use of Photoshop? - {{User:JTD95/Signature}} 22:57, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

== Another Road ==
Just wanted to let you know that the KH3 mod you helped out with, and most likely completely forgot about lol, [https://www.nexusmods.com/kingdomhearts3/mods/1921 has been released at long last!] --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 17:33, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
:Just watched the trailer so far but I intend to play it. The mod looks very impressive, especially the attention to detail. Did you design the new Formchanges? --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 16:02, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
::That'd be Kurasanick. He handled the animations, balance, implementation, etc. He's the gameplay dude, my department was visuals and audio. UI and HUD stuff, sound fx - sourcing, tweaking, creating - and other miscellaneous things. Even a wee bit model tweaking and UE4 scripting, like the Kingstagram changes. So regarding the Formchanges, all I designed was the icons that appear above the commands. That being said, I'm undertaking something...way, way more ambitious for the upcoming version 2. Honestly, I could use some advice, if you ever pop on Discord again XD. But I'm happy you found it all impressive! The KHWiki as a whole was instrumental in putting this thing together, not just with the stuff you yanked out of the games, but all of the info from the Japanese guides especially. --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 02:51, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
== Kingdom Hearts Dark Road rips ==
Are there any rips of Dark Road's sprites? The only thing I've ever seen were crops from images. I'm looking for ones such as Vanitas, Master Xehanort and other such. [[User:ChrisShade|ChrisShade]] ([[User talk:ChrisShade|talk]]) 06:22, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
:The problem with all KHUX/KHDR sprites is that most of the time they are not pre-assembled and the files are all over the place because the folder structure is not kept and duplicates were already eliminated (meaning if a character uses a slightly different smile in some other cutscene it will not be were most of the character's parts are but someplace else or all characters that use the same boots and walking animation won't have separate files for that) while extracting so there are thousands of files to go through.
:For example [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DpacYgBulPx5uqX3jiuhSNilx_XcfBr1?usp=sharing this] is probably all that is exclusively part of the Birth by Sleep scenes. I guess I relied on Sign to crop these characters which she didn't. I could crop them from the cutscenes but I don't have the time to reassemble them for slightly better quality at the moment which basically goes like this: Make a screenshot of the character in the pose you want, adjust that screenshot's image size to the size of the parts and then arrange all single parts until it looks like the image. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 18:58, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
== Missing-Link ==
Brass tax. Where are we with yanking stuff out of this one? I know of a rather dedicated group who's been trying really hard, but the hurdles they've run into are rather annoying. You tend to do your own thing, so I want to know if you've been getting anywhere with it. --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 17:00, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
:I think that's to be expected since it's notoriously hard if not impossible to get anything out of iOS games. The Android version is very likely the way to go but the beta for this one won't start until January. I don't have my hand on anything at the moment, just collecting information, so I'll be waiting for this one to drop. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 17:21, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
::Joseph, the mastermind of the UXFM project (and an acquittance of yours I've heard!) has been trying. The problem isn't dealing with iOS, it's the fact that no one even wants to help. Not a single person has been willing to donate their beta access. All Joseph's been able to dig up are the domains - including dev domains, but can't make heads or tails of them. --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 18:25, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
:::Hm, that's too bad. I'd donate my beta access if I had one, probably won't even get in the Android beta but I can ask around. Still, if Joseph is on it I'm optimistic that something will come out of this. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 18:56, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
== Melody of Memory rips ==
Howdy. I'm working on some KHMOM articles and was wondering if you knew where to find certain assets – I've looked through some sprite rips already ([https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DSuMcO3Ovs2lsnBM6Ix4pKoXqhxnV86c this one] and [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bfrckwz9sh5p686/AADMVLc2uM9ggtrxCG2ABUxda this one]), but there are still some that are missing. In particular, I'm trying to find:
*Keyblade Collector's Cards
*The circular Trick icons (10 total)
*CPU VS Battle rank icons (12 total)
*Record completion icons (bronze, silver, gold crowns; Mickey)
*VS Battle icon (crossed Keyblades)
*Museum icon (heart)

== Marluxia model ==
So, um...I have a small favor to ask, though it's oddly specific in ways even I don't understand. Since you ripped basically everything from the PS4 version of ReCoM, can you also upload the models of Marluxia's final forms? Both second and third - both Marluxia and the Specter. The models ''and'' textures! There's something rather specific about them that makes any versions - even PC - useless for rigging into Unreal. This HAS to be from the PS4 version, and PS4 only - mdl and rtm. FYI, Version 2.0 is now out with 3.0 on the way! Thanks! --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 20:39, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
:You're in luck, I found those files on my old laptop. I uploaded all enemy models [https://www.mediafire.com/file/vdtgpuu5ldp8ayp/KHRECOM_PS4_ENEMY.zip/file here]. Marluxia should be EN0119 (normal), EN0120 (2nd Form) and EN0138 (3rd Form). If someone can make some good renders with these maybe they could replace those screenshots here. I tried to do that a long time ago with akderebur's KHReComViewer but failed. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 19:30, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
::It's no exaggeration to say you've saved the mod - or at least V3 lol. If you ever get back on Discord, well, you'll see. :) Thank you much! Again! As for making KHWiki-friendly renders out of those, I may actually know just the person for the job, and they're not doing much these days!

:::Yeah, second and third form would be great since they are just badly cropped screenshots now. But no pressure, it's probably a nightmare to render correctly. --{{User:ShardofTruth/Sig}} 17:29, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
