Armored Core V Emblem Editor, is it possible?

[cowboy713]

I know we can pull AC data off a save for ACV, has anyone tried finding emblem data within these files? Curious if it would be possible to upload an img file into the save in place of a default emblem. Sounds like a long shot but if possible it would be so epic.

I actually thought about this myself. By all rights it seems possible. But you'd have to convert the image data to be able to fit into the save file. The best bet for this would probably involve the image already being in bitmap format.

While in-game image creation uses a set of specific images, once the emblem is made, it's converted into its own image; the game doesn't render all parts of an emblem in real-time. This is why I think it should be possible to do. I plan to toy with it in AC:FA, but I no longer have AC5 (I didn't like it). I'll be happy to turn over whatever progress I make in AC:FA to anybody who's interested though, as it should at least help with the research for AC5.

I give my support for this. Vote +1

After taking a look at ACFA, I can say that it's definitely possible in that game. The game stores the emblem as a PNG file within the save; as long as another PNG file is used (with the same dimensions) then it shouldn't be difficult at all to manually code it in. That said, this is for ACFA, and I still have no idea about AC5.
