I quickly narrowed the issue down to a character. I saved all the above files and run Peggle! The images showed up fine but the eyes were missing entirely. The black parts of the image correspond to the background behind the character (that is, they act like a green screen).įinally, this template contained the eyes for the character at the correct pixel locations corresponding to the main template. This template is simply the inverse of the main template images. You might need to turn on hidden folders to see them. If using Steam (Vista onwards) theyre in C:ProgramDataSteamgame. Windows Vista and 7 theyre in C:ProgramDataPopCap Gamesgameuserdata.

For Windows XP theyre in C:Program FilesPopCap GamesgameUsers. If you bounce it off the Free Ball Bucket, your supremacy will be assured. The Fireball burns through the board with ferocious force. Its important to note the eyes were not in this picture (they move around in the game depending on where the mouse cursor or ball is). The location of the save games depends on your OS. I am Lord Cinderbottom of the Order of the Flame, and it is my privilege to reveal to you the Fireball, fiercest of Peggle Magic Powers. There were four images, one of the character looking to the left, one looking towards the center (angled left), another looking towards the center (angled right) and finally one looking to the right. Here are some images of what I changed (all changes made with Photoshop): Main Template Lastly all I had to do was modify one of the character templates and replace the pictures with pictures of my baby brother. I decided to replace the Dragon character (because its OP and also because my brothers favourite character is the Pumpkin so I thought I’d leave it intact). This forces the game to look for files in the current directory (as main.pak is missing).

I decided to extract the contents of main.pak to the game directory. Luckily, an online post was able to help me here ( link).Įssentially I had to run the QuickBMS extractor application and supply it with 7x7m.bms and main.pak. The first step was to extract the contents of this package.

The majority of the files for this Popcap game, like other Popcap games, were stored in a file called main.pak.

So some time ago I modified a the video game Peggle Deluxe which is a PC game by Popcap Games. My little baby brother had really gotten into the game and I wanted to add him as a character! I found a baby photo of him and thought I’d simply have to replace one image in the game directory. Take your best shot with energizing arcade fun Aim, shoot, clear the orange pegs, then sit back and cheer as 10.
