EDIT: Scratch pretty much this whole post - I did it and have updated my original file: Here's another link incase you fell here from google or whatever
Mod edit: dead link removed
You were half right JustLurksHere - I used the original uncensor to find where the censor shadow was being pulled from and edited it - however the transparancy was now white instead of blue, so I had to change the colour of the zone which was forming the uncensor as well. Thanks for the help - Even if it was a little rude the way you did it
If you want to make this personal, then listen, bub:
it's not a matter of 'he didn't give me the right sweet', it's a matter of throwing out a *verifiably* wrong solution as anything resembling a valid one, when only a very little more research into the problem would have given a proper one.
It's about advising to take a shortcut through a shady neighborhood - with a high risk of getting shanked - to get a five minute gain on a couple hours long trip.
I actually spent about an hour trying to find a file reader for .PIC files or a converter so I could create my own. I tried various different files to get it working and this one was the best solution I could find. I'm sorry that it didn't meet your standards, but I contributed more than you did to uncensoring the game. If you feel so strongly about it, why don't you try to uncensor it?
The uncensor I provided wasn't perfect, but it was posted for people to use if they'd rather remove the censor if they aren't bothered about some other graphics. From what I can tell after having used it for a little while, it affects chests, and some 'spit drop' textures, but otherwise is fine. For some scenes it is a perfect decensoring option - some it is possibly worse than leaving it off, but at least people now have the option, and I left the gate open by describing my methods for anyone who might be able to improve it.
EDIT: I thought about this a little and it seems like you have more information than I do - I couldn't open the .PIC files in any reader I tried - what are you using to open them? I think all the readers I downloaded were for a different but identically named mac format. If you give me the name of the file reader that you are using to view the pic files I can probably create a much better uncensor patch!
For anyone who might be smarter than me who might have an idea of how to do things, I did find a few other things during that time: There's a one-way converter to change .BMP files into .PIC files in the data\pic folder (the exe file will batch convert any bitmaps to pics in that folder. The bat file just deletes the bmps and was probably used for cleanup) - I noticed that the strong blue used in the files in the 'tate' folder seems to be for transparancy, but for some reason creating a blue of the same colour doesn't get full transparency, only partial. I'm not quite sure how to improve the uncensor from there, but good luck to anyone who might try
