This tutorial has been achieved while modding the PS2 version, but it will work on PC 2007 version as well.
It is very simple and fast.
First of all you must extract the Core.dat file using your preferable tool.
After extracting, open the Core folder and open Core_27.UWF file with a hex editor like HxD.
The UWF files controls how/where the textures are in the game, there is a more complete research being made at the moment.
If we want to change HUD position, we must edit the position parameters Core_27.UWF, shown at the pic above.
Z coordinate will work as a zoom/size.
All values are in Single (float32).
• Original position: X = 217 / Y = -130 / Z = 0
• Top right: X = 217 / Y = 130 / Z = 0
• Top center: X = 0 / Y = 130 / Z = 0
• Top left: X = -270 / Y = 130 / Z = 0
• Center: X = 0 / Y = 0 / Z = 0
• Bottom left: X = -270 / Y = -130 / Z = 0
• Bottom center: X = 0 / Y = -130 / Z = 0
• Bottom right: X = 220 / Y = -130 / Z = 0
These values are just for quick changes, you are free to test whichever value you want.
You can make the HUD invisible by putting 00 at the Alpha color byte.
You can also change its perspective like shown above, it works with angle degree system, example if you put X to 90 it will "rotate" in 90° degree, very cool to experiment too.
The UWF file contains several other unknown bytes which we can experiment to try to find something useful, please make sure to have a backup before doing any drastic changes!
This is all for now, I hope you understood the idea behind this quick tutorial, but if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask here.
Until next time.
