Credit HotavioH for pointing me in the right direction

 

1) Create your new logo, it must be 256x128 and save it as a DDS DXT5.

2) Open MatchHD.pac in Xpacker9 and extract MCAS.pach

3) Open Pach  MCAS and uncompress 1B59

4) Open Texture Archive 1B59.zlib.uncompressed

5) Inject your new logo in place of the old logo eg.WM28

6) Open MCAS.pach and inject 1B59.zlib.uncompressed

7) Open MatchHD using "Open pac containing directories"

8) Inject MCAS.pac 

9) Update Arc Non Wrestler and browse to your plist360.arc

10) Move MatchHD.pac and plist360.arc back to your Xbox.

 

You may have the same problem I had (screenshot below) MB72 not found in arc

To fix this you must manually edit the arc file to change the offset of MB72.

 

1) Open MatchHD in Xpacker and in a Hex Calculator divide the offset of MB72 by 800 eg 1243800/800= 2487

2) Open plist360.arc in a HexEditor and find MB72

3) The first 4 bytes after the file name are the offset, change these to the correct offset eg 2487

4) Save and transfer plist360.arc back to Xbox

Just one quick question: How can you see all does arc files updated on the x-packer? I can only see like half of them. Did you adjust some resolution?

...might be worth adding that your DDS files shouldn't have mip maps

@Red Rooster

Since its a very good and useful thing to do I will try to update those images myself too. I need a bit of help. This is what I do.

1. I extracted most of the logos from other games as dds files so they should be the right format already. And couple of them were saved as shown in this screenshot. I hope its the right one. And I selected NO MIP MAPS.

2. Launch x-packer. OPEN-> X360/PS3 PAC. Select MatchHD.pac
3. Select MCAS and click EXTRACT.
4. Launch x-packer again, OPEN-> X360/PS3 PACH select MCAS.pac then select 1B59 and press DECOMPRESS button.
5. Launch x-packer again, OPEN-> TEXTURE ARCHIVE and select 1B59.pac
6. The list of images in the pac is loaded in x-packer. I go to the NXT and press INJECT and select the new image DDS file. I get a success message.
7. I open in x-packer MCAS.pach via OPEN-> X360/PS3 PACH. I press INJECT button near 1B59 and select the modified 1B59.pac file. Success.
8. Launch x-packer. OPEN-> X360/PS3 PAC. Select MatchHD.pac. IF I USE " "Open pac containing directories" I get an error. WHY? So I stick with OPEN-> X360/PS3 PAC method. IT opens up correctly. Then I find MCAS and what should I press? COMPRESS & INJECT or simply INJECT?

Am I doing allright so far?

Now I'm stuck here. I tried both variants and none of them seem to work. I mean putting 2487. Or am I completely missing something? Please Red Rooster :)
