[Dollarman]

Hi guys,

 

I tried to modding an arena.
Changed the turnbuckle on classic wwf verison and injected it's text file into 03E8 file.

After the 03E8 file I trired inject into shdc file but the X-packer is down with error message.

Have someone idea what is the problem?

I create a new shdc file the injtecing is success, but the new aporn not showed.
I can see the original apron.

The stairs and corner post were changed.

Hi, I will suggest extracting all 5 textures, replace the one's you are removing , create a new texture archive, rather than injecting.

Thank you the answer, but the probelm is same.

The Shdc and apron.pac files size are biggest (4450kb) than original  (1454kb)shdc and apron.pac.

That's a much larger texture size. What software are you using to edit and save your textures ?

If you are using the photoshop dds plugin, you might want to try saving as DTX 1 (No Alpha) That will give you a much smaller size, in most cases the same size as the original texture.

it's that large because you're not compressing the 03E8 file. you'll probably be easier off doing a pach file and using an older game for your base pac unless you're able to compress through oodl

I have used oodle tools to extract the pac and the textures from the apron file. You just need to compress the textures using the correct DDS file settings.  .
