So I've changed some images like the SunBank and gave the points a different sound effect, deleted main.pak but the sounds and files didn't change, I heard some people say that you had to delete main.pak AND some backup file? but I don't know where the backup file is... any help? thanks!
To everyone who thinks you can't edit official music: it is actually POSSIBLE to do that. Yes, you can replace the OST with the tracks of your choice, however, it can be buggy sometimes and it won't loop properly (at least in my case lol), but at least it is indeed possible.
@@KyaoDoesThings Help me, when i replace the files, they dont appear in game, its like i didnt do nothing, im not using the goty version, and i did everything as the tutorial
@@KyaoDoesThingsyou can also use the mo3 method, which has horde music and always loops properly, but you need to know how to use something like openmpt
Unfortunately, we have not figured that out yet and as seen in PvZ Hard Mode, likely obfuscates the text, also, note that changing those variables also likely violate a line of text in the Agreement of the game.
i know this video is like 2 years old haha, but when changing textures for the plants, can i make the image size for like a part of the plant bigger? im wanting to edit scaredy shroom and turn it into like basically a different mushroom plant, but the main body for it is really skinny. thanks!
dont know if you still about this but if you can change the sprites image size without it breaking, but the drawback is the aligning will be broken and i dont know how to change it
could you make a guide on how to change the behaviour of the Plants?, i wanna make it so that chomper shoots peas for example, because i changed its texture into a firepeashooter but i cant find the code of the chomper or any other plant...
does anyone know how to get to the files? in the beginning it already starts off in the files?(with the PVZ main.pak stuff), do i need the Origin version or dose it work with steam?
thank you for the video! it was very helpful! although i do have 1 question still, how do you change the boundaries of your edit without any of the body parts noclipping into others. any help is apricated!
i used this a while ago, and it worked a couple times, but then when I tried to do it again after redownloading i would change the sprites but nothing in the game would change, please help!
Hi this tutorial was really helpful!!! Just one thing.. how do you change the peas, I've gone into particles and searched up pea and found pea particles, I turned it purple but it isnt in game. How do i do this? thx :D
I myself am not planning to mod the game, but i do have a question. Ive seen videos of different PVZ mods, and almost all of them have a complete graphical overhaul, it has PVZ 2 sprites, but its still the first game. They all also use the same PVZ 2 sprites, its not just one mod that uses them, it even has completely new menu's and level backgrounds. I couldn't find anything on why it looks like it does.
Oh, that's about PvZ2 pak! It replaces the complete graphical library with PvZ2's sprites, it does not change the gameplay at all, and is purely graphical, some mods choose to use this over the original for stylistic purposes.
How do you use a mod someone else made on the game? For example lets say i found a mod and have its file where would i need to place it/ what would i need to do in order to have it running and working?
this is very helpful...but how can i make the catail plants doesnt required any lilypad and can be planred anywhere(land,roof,pool)and also the premium plants can be planted without req plant,..how can i do that??
hi, video was really helpful but i have a problem, i changed projectiles ,background,sprites and almanac text but when i start the game nothing changed,its all the original texture, could you please help me and tell me what i need to do , do i maybe need to start the game differently, i have the GOTY version from steamunlocked if that helps
do you have to start it in a specific way? when i start i thru steam it doesnt show the edited textures, when i start it thru the folder directory it just says: couldnt read Steam.dll
Fantastic guide! I do have to ask two things though. Is the process the same for the Steam version of the game? And also, what if I wanted to undo all of these changes and revert the textures?
Yes! But for extended modding like changing stats, it's best to use the older version. To change them back, I simply suggest keeping a copy of main.pak!
Hey bro , can you help me with the sounds? , so i converted the sound to ogg. , but then when i renamed it exactly like the existing sound Example : "Snow_pea_sparkles" it says "failed to load " can you help me pls?

one thing: im on mac :( but i use a virtual machine of windows X so that's all good. however, the VM cannot PLAY the actual game, but i can mod the files on it. is there a way to use unpatched pvz files on a mac
Green Beanbag thank you for answering! I have tried transferring them, but I’m not sure where I should put the modded files to replace the vanilla ones, as I can’t unpatch the vanilla files on the Mac. Do you know?
@@Sjdjjrjejdjfieiru4urjfjfj that happened to me, try deleting the pak and backup pak files, the game uses those instead of the new things you add. if you delete them. it is forced to use what you make :)
Wait so how did the hard mode and Peridots hard mode did things to change the gameplay? The only way I could change the gameplay is by using the pvz tools. :/
There are many ways to change stats permanently, however, I cannot provide a guide on that (for now) but I suggest using HxD and Cheat Engine: ua-cam.com/video/ILtYMlNRJfI/v-deo.html
