PACH file not found in arc?

[LordBarker]

Hi all,

 

Just used Kim's ace guide to mod Demolition into the RAM successfully.

 

However I thought I'd add an attire to Smash from Rooster's mods.

 

I go through like I would with adding attires to DLC, and since Smash is 402.pach, I used Brodus Clay's pac and list Smash's attires as follows:

 

40202

40204

40212

40414

 

However, it updates them all except 40212 saying 'PACH file 40212 was not found in the arc'.

 

This seems kind of odd considering it finds the following entry. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Can you post a screen shot of the hex code?

[LordBarker]

Sure - sorry,  did you want a shot of the code from the arc file?

 

Oddly Ax's (who is at 401) works fine, seems strange it's missing one entry for Smash.

Yes please mate, it will help in seeing what the issue is

[LordBarker]

Sure, give me a sec

Sorry was just chekcing all of Ax's work in-game and they do indeed.

Sorry again, world's stupidest question how do I find the entry in the arc? Smash is 402 which converts to 0192, but there's a few of those entries.

this is a common error

 

btw you can use smash's pac for all his attires, you don't need to use Brodus Clay's pac. You only need to rename Brodus Clay's misc pac entry to smash's (9201).

[LordBarker]

9201, not 402? Do you mean in Xpacker, or rename it in the in the misc pac with a hexeditor?

[LordBarker]

So how exactly do  I find the entries in the Arc I need to correct?

Yes 9201 (in Big Endian and 0192 in Little Endian) I think you need to rename it with a hexeditor. Maybe Xpacker can this too.

So how exactly do  I find the entries in the Arc I need to correct?

You open the .arc file with a hexeditor and search for the pach file name (00040202)

That's what I thought, it doesn't find anything oddly  I've been searching for the hex value. Should I be searching for the text string?

[kim666]

yes text string

[LordBarker]

Thank you, in that case it's here:

Ok, on the pic is the patch file from the 402.pac file. But your error was on Brodus Clay's pac file. Search for 40414. Or simply insert all the patch files into the 402.pac file. Then update the .arc file with Brodus Clay's original pac file (to remove the 40414 entry) and then update the .arc file with the 402.pac file that contains all attires.

[LordBarker]

I tried it with just smashs pac and had the same issue. I'll give it another go when I'm back home and see what happens

[LordBarker]

Still having the same prob 'PACH file 40212 was not found in the arc'.

[kim666]

You can also skip the 40212 pach, simply inject a dummy pach there and name it 40212. Then in the misc pac disable this attire (2A2A2A2A). rename the real 40212 pach file to 40222 and ofcourse 40214 to 40224.

[LordBarker]

Ah that sounds like it might work, I'll try it over the weeknd and report back Thanks!

 

How do I 'disable' an attire?

Edited May 9, 2014 by LordBarker

[kim666]

change all the FFFFFFFF's to 2A2A2A2A in the misc pac file this will disable the attire
