TXC file extension? (would love to contribute mods)

[12ozshark]

Hey guys,

I've been following Nike's tutorial on arena hacking (LINK) however when I open the pac file as a texture archive [STEP 4] and extract or export any of the files they come out as .txc files

I don't think this is suppose to happen as I can't find any information on txc editors on either this forum or on google.


If it helps at all to understand my probelm, I had to obtain the pac differently (can't remember how I got it) because if I extract and uncompress the C8 file [STEP 3] it always asks me if i want to overwrite the extracted file with the uncompressed file - choosing yes (which is my only option) I end up with a C8.bpe file (no pac extension) and if I try to open this file as either a pac or texture archive it fails to load with the 'invalid pac' error or a 'unhandled exception......index was outside the bounds of the array" error in the later's case.


No idea what I'm doing wrong but I'd love to contribute to the mods of this forum - thanks for any help,
Kris

when you export make sure you click export ALL. it should export tm2 files which is what you will be editing...make sure you keep the .txc files. you will need them to import the textures back into the .bpeunpacked file

Thanks so much for your help dude, it was this one simple thing - i'll be releasing my full ISO once it's done as well (covers mid 80s to modern times, want to eventually edit every arena)

Just a quick quesion unrelated - do we have to use 'special entrance' because I've been using the normal entrance just fine, I was wondering what this was used for?

glad 2 help

no special entrance doesnt HAVE to be used. its used if the wrestler is wearing anything extra that they wouldnt wear in the match.

ex: austins vest, edges coat, hogans boas, etc...

looking forward to seeing your work bro

FULL ISO posting is not allowed ! READ THE RULES.

Also, if you plan to use any mods made by our modders, you should ask for their permission first.

Just to clarify what 80las said, you may not post the full iso. That is illegal and could get this site shut down. However, you may post any files that you have changed. That way, others can import them into their own game.

You may post these files:
PLISTPS2.arc or PLISTPSP.arc
CH.pac
CH2.pac
CH3.pac
CHETC.pac
MISC.pac
BG.pac
MUSIC1.yaf
And game saves.

No problem, I won't post the ISO just the files and not until I have permission from the respective modders - and thanks for the support Kevan


I have a new problem I don't believe has been addressed anywhere as of yet though:



If I inject OR import the new TM2 file into an existing arena's C8 texture archive (e.g. import a new 'ar_fen00' TM2 file over the existing) everything is fine BUT when I open the arena's PAC file to inject the edited (i.e. new) C8 file it says it injected it successfully but then an error message pops up:

So I have to quit X-Packer (continue does nothing)

If i try to open the PAC file again (now newly injected/edited), the same error pops up, but now straight away and it won't open the file



No idea what's going on, are you suppose to import the TXC file instead of the TM2 file into the C8 texture archive? Can't think of what the problem is - if the arena is loaded into the game, the game crashes when loading a match in that arena


Any help would mean so much as I'm so close to being able to mod arenas and contribute to the online community (I'm talking about RAW IS WAR, Nitro, old school WM arenas - well ring areas because I feel the arena/misc section could definately use some more mods),
