X-Packer Inject Problem

[sxemessiah]

I have been trying to mod textures of wrestlers but whenever i edit it and save, it doesn't get exactly saved as actual size.

For eg: Triple H's hhh_game actual file size is 8.12 kb but when i edit it and save it, it gets saved as 8.09 kb. Hence, X-Packer doesn't allow it to replace.

I use OPTPiX iMageStudio for opening and copying TM2 file and Photoshop CS5 for editing. Please, help me out for this silly issue :wall:

Is there a different method to save it in an actual size?

See saving TM2 and alpha fixing tutorial in the tutorial section.

if size is down(8.09) than original (8.12 ) try to put the bytes with a hex editor..
see the bytes of the images..then find the number of loosing bytes..
exemple : 1350 bytes original 1310 bytes the new
1350-1310= 40
put 40 bytes at the last string with hex editor and new file willbe the same.
i had this kind of problem injectin c8.pac with modified textures..
c8 is uncompress and bytes are bigger than c8.bpe..
i found a simple way to resolve it..
i do a new textures archive using only some textures ..
if c8.bpe is 105 kb i create an archive aroun' 103 or 104 kb then i put loosing bytes
with hex editor. so i have a c8.pac the same as c8.bpe
and ijectin it the game works without problems 'cause i don't change
the weight of the files

Thankyou for replying guys but I'm still facing the problem.

@Maicue, I followed the tutorial but still saved file size was not as same as original one. :\

honkytonkman, I inserted bytes in those files via hxd and injected it perfectly. But the game crashes when i select that certain wrestler during entrance and also while in ring. :|

When you save it, you must make sure that both default and edited textures are of the same resolution and color depth.

Make sure you got the same settings as below for your textures. Byte alignment and CLUT as well.

Oh, Thank you Maicue bro! I actually ignored CLUT settings. Maybe that is the reason why i was unable to get a better output. Now, it is better. Thanks alot.

Glad to hear that.

Looking forward to seeing your mods.

mmm..i suppose this is a rule also for gim format textures in svr PSP..
maybe is for this reason that my edited textures make the game crush..instead when i replace with a texture from another arena game works..

in psp original textures converted in png are in direct color image conversion, 32 bit,
96 dpi resolution..
i did my edited textures in png indexed color 1 bit ..is this the reason it don't work?
