PS3Hax member Glowball1, who brought you the tutorial for custom XMB wave animation, has now brought another PS3 tutorial related to editing/modding of dynamic themes.
To quote:
This tutorial will show you how to edit prince of persia’s dynamic background script also known as “pop.jsx”. The benifit of doing this is so you can change the position, speed, direction and timing of the moving parts/edge files. You can also edit the script file for heavy rain and even the PS3′s coldboot.
Things you will need
1. a hex editor
2. RCOmage v 1.1.1 http://psp.dashhacks.com/file/1842
3. notepad++
3. Dynamic Theme editor by zembor0 http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=21880
4. My Script Edit Files Folder.zip http://www.mediafire.com/?4pow4ndv00v0d7j
First off download and install the things you will need. When you extract my folder. You will see some files which will help you.
Open both pop.js and pop info.js in notepad++. Begin to edit the parts that you wish, use POP INFO.js and POP ANIM_1.JPG INFO.rtf to help you.
[]
So you have now edited and saved your POP.js and want to insert/test with your dynamic background.
Step 1. If you have RCOmage v1.1.1 extracted/installed you will need to open your command prompt and go to the RCOmage install folder directory of which contains rcomage.exe.
cd C:Users…Rcomage
dots are where you installed RCOmage.
Now copy and paste your pop.js into the same folder as the rcomage.exe.
Once copied and you have “cd” into the directory, type the folowing command in the command prompt to encrypt the POP.js (your edited file).
rcomage.exe vsmxenc POP.js POPEDIT.jsx
Then you will find the POPEDIT.jsx in the Rcomage folder.
Step 2. Open both your POPEDIT.jsx and anim_1 (from my folder) with a hex editor. Go to offset 00869530 or search for VSMX. Now copy and paste all of your POPEDIT.jsx into anim_1 at the offset and save.
All you need to do now is copy your edited anim_1 into the dynamic theme editor folder C:Users…Dynamic Theme EditorOriginal Anim_1Prince Of Persia. Now once you run the dynamic theme editor it will use your edited anim_1 file.
If you wish you can also use my Anim_1.jpg USB Loader.p3t from my folder. Install like a PS3 theme and put Anim_1.jpg from C:Users…Dynamic Theme EditorTheme FilesPrince Of Persia on the root of the usb stick (only for CFW though). This will load your background image with the standard PS3 icons. I use this method as it is quicker.
Thanks to zembor0 once again and I hope he will include this in his dynamic theme editor.

I DO NOT wish for you to download this because you criticised me and my work to many times. I find you really childish and you have not contributed any thing to the PS3 hacking scene what so ever, so leave me and my work alone!

great work and thanks for interpreting the meaning of the parameters in the script. This is another step to understand the system of raf files.
you know what parameters are to be edited to increase the sampling time coldboot?

@ BigBo0ti
To answer your question pal. The script is for editing .edge files and the timing of them. To edit the actual lenth (8 seconds) of the coldboot and sound. It would probably be in the flash somewhere but I would not recommend as there is no way to test a coldboot.raf.

@ Dimidrollko
The answer is quite simple. I moved the POPlogo.edge to the bottom left of the screen change the script for updatePOPlogo so the .edge moves further down and up then changed the speed of that also. Easy lol
Use POPINFO.js and POP ANIM_1.JPG INFO.rtf to help you

Sure I can help but I would need to know what you are trying to achieve as the script is fairly simple but big. If you are just trying to change the position of say the POP logo. You change the horizontal position first 0.0 is the center of the screen 50.0 is the far right of the screen and -50.0 is the far left. The vertical position is the same values (+higher -lower). As for the size, if you increase the value number the size will increase. It's all about trial and error I would recommend if you are on CFW you use my Anim_1.jpg usb loader.

Okay I take it it is not the cone part so the part you need to edit is Cir_Smoke06 in the script. So if you want it top right you go to line 243 in notepad++ and change the value to 46.2540 this is for the horizontal position. Then go to line 257 and chenge the value to 44.4600 this is for the vertical position (note that I have not tested this but you get the idea). I am not sure what you mean about the freeze bit but to change the speed of the roatation go to line 846 and change the value (lower value = faster). Hope this helps but use POPINFO.js to help

using the official SDK is by far the easiest way to edit dynamic themes available. They even have easy to understand tutorials included. All you need is terminal....and you don't even need any knowledge of how to use terminal because they give you the exact commands to enter to compile it.

Somone make a GUI for the SDK please
(or something noob friendly)
