@trioxin1331 - Are you sure that you're hitting a max file size and not having trouble with just a few specific renders?  I.e. - have you tested them all individually before packing them all in together?

And if you haven't already done this, you can use TinyPNG to compress the images before saving them as dds files.

Hey @TheVisitorX im not sure what you have done with my xml file i sent you with all the announce sounds but there are now loads missing in your version 3.0.1

I've been working on merging your updates to the main data file. Some of the additions match up with IDs that were already in the main file - which crashes the program. So it's been taking me some time to combine everything. I should have it ready tonight or tomorrow.

I haven't released an official update yet? Did you get one? 

[tomwearsglasses]

Ok, here's the updated data.xml file for the next release (and in the meantime people can replace it manually):

Yeah 1000% that the renders in question work. The new work fine if i remove any of the older ones. It dosen't matter what render is put in what slot (the renders and the slots are not the issue) and which older one I remove, I get issues at 33mb every time until I remove one to take it back under 33mb

 

Yeah cheers I will try that too

After @LordJustice17 released his wonderful Comic renders, i started mass replacing renders with cct and run into the same problem that @trioxin1331 has. At some point the game didn't start anymore. But i found a fix, here is a little howto :

Start pac editor and open one custom render from the "custom_typea" folder

Click on "mass extract" and pac editor will extract all custom render files and create a new sub folder for each file.

Now you need a "Virgin" ltag_typea.pac file. (i hope you have a Backup). Open the ltag_typea.pac with pac editor and click extract all. Pac editor will create a new folder named "@ltag_typea.pac". Leave pac editor open.

Go back to the "custom_typea" folder and search for "*.pac". Now Windows Explorer should list all the extracted render pac files. Select all an copy/paste all into the "@ltag_typea.pac" folder. 

Now switch back to pac editor and click on "rebuild". Pac editor will create a new file named "ltag_typea.pac-NEW". Delete/remove the "custom_typea" folder and the "ltag_typea.pac" file. Rename the "ltag_typea.pac-NEW" file to "ltag_typea.pac" 

You need to do the same steps for "ltag_typeb.pac" and "ltag_typec.pac"

Amazing!! Cheers for this is it confirmed as working after?  

• What is pac editor? do you mean x-packer?

Edited June 8, 2017 by robbie686

[kim666]

Pac editor is a free alternative tool like x-packer.

Sweet do you have a D/L link?

[trioxin1331]

Thankyou @kim666, that seems to work perfectly!!

I'm just having trouble with a few slots (mostly DLC) I think I may have used backup  "@ltag_typeX.pac" from before the updates, does anyone have up to date ones (A/B/C) they would be able to share?

I also had some trouble with the dlc renders, rebuilding these dlc ltag_typea.pac files, fixed that too.

@robbie686 the dl link is in the pac editor thread.

They probably haven't been identified yet (some identifications aren't correct, too). They should be listed, though (perhaps in other .pck archives if you can't find it in the one you're looking in). You can identify songs by listening to all the tracks in Sound Editor (Right-click then Play and identify the songs. If you do, write the proper name in the name column. When you're done, send your custom_data.xml file to @TheVisitorX so he can update the names for everyone in the next update.

[Tarnathos]

thanks for finding this fix kim666. Fortunately, I have not faced this issue until now and I have replaced all renders except of four currently

Yes. There are also 3x3 ltag_typex.pac  files for dlc. You need to do it for them too. But they are not that big.
