Does Plist.arc and plist3x4.arc have limits?

[keherese]

The original plist.arc size is 175 kb

But when i see mine after adding so much alt attires is 188 kb

 

I still can add attires succesfully in x packer to plist and plist 3x4. But when i play the game, the game cannot load. All the screen was just black and freeze (cannot back to FSD).

When i redo it with the back up arc, the game can load again. But of course the alt attires wont show up.

 

Question is, does arc files have limits?

my arc size isnt more than 188 kb.

my total added attires isnt that much

3 for jericho,  3 for jericho retro, 5 brock lesnar, 4 brock lesnar retro, 2 sin cara, 3 antonio cesaro, 4 dolph ziggler, 4 cm punk, 10 hogan, 4 hollywood hogan, 2 aj lee, 4 ryback. Thats it. How come my game freeze and screen gone black when i start to play the game?

It did have a limit back on the PS2, but I don't know. Anyone?

I've had the same problem...not really sure why as I've only added alt attires for 3 characters, but it was after I added my TNA Nash and the WCW Outsiders attires to Diesel as alt attires (as I believe we can't add alt attires to DLC...yet) that the game simply would not load, just stayed on the first loading screen. I replaced the ARC files and re-edited them, thinking I'd done something wrong the first time, but now while it does get past the loading screen, it then freezes and restarts the machine. I'm not 100% that the ARC files are actually the problem or if it's the misc.pac as both were edited for the alt attires. I just hope I can get it all working again without having to delete the whole thing and start again.

It's unlikely that the size of the arc file is causing your issue. The game freezing in the way you mentioned is usually due to incorrect arc entries.

 

For the dlc project I've added 13 new wrestlers some with alt attires and the game loads fine.

I've replaced the ARC files and the game is now loading fine. I've also been able to reupdate the ARC files for all the characters I've replaced and it's still working fine. The big test will be adding alt attires again. I've managed to add 1 for Jim Cornette and that works fine, but for people who have more than say 3 or 4 costumes, that seems to be where the problem is, at least for me at this stage.

Maybe post an image of your Hex vales? then we can have a look at them for you

I think I've sorted it out. I've managed to get Nash/Diesel working with 4 attires so the problem must have been with the modded Undertaker which had his 3 standard attires plus 4 more. Now that I've unlocked Retro Undertaker I could probably add some attires to each rather than all to the 1.
