Question about psp spriting

[darkegg]

Okay, i followed all the instructions, and i get stuck at this point.
To replace another sprite, the sprite must be of the same size as the sprite to be replaced.
But how do u do it?

[gojoe]

uhhh more specific, like how to make it a smaller file size? or how to make it a sprite file?
its kinda hard to make a smaller file size or if you want to make a sprite open shishi and open a sprite file the click import and import your sprite then save.

All sprites on the PSP are the same size. They don't use any compression, I think.

[darkegg]

Okay, you know when u check the properties of the spr file, it says:

NEWAGURI

size: 42.8kb
size on disk: 44.0kb

AGURI

size: 44.0kb
size on disk: 44.0kb

My FFT:WOTL hangs at the SQUARE ENIX screen.

And it only hangs when i edit sprites.

EDIT:
Does anybody have or have come across the same problem?
Because i tried following what other people have done, and i still failed.
And yes i tried searching google and this site.

[Vanya]

Checked the WotL section yet? I'm pretty sure this is not a new issue.

[darkegg]

I followed a guide there, and i got stuck at the 'same sprite size' part.
Even when i made the LBA the same as before i swapped the fftpack.bin,
it still hung at the intro.

Using UMDGEN v4.00, FFTPATCHER v3.28, SHISHI sprite editor.

And i followed this guide.

Did you try to edit the cloud sprite by any chance cause thats a big no no and will cause it to hang.

read this thread, i dont think ppl have problems afterward, NO SKIPPING STEPS.

[darkegg]

No i did not edit the cloud sprite, i know that it has problems.
Currently following gojoe's guide. And....
I'm still stuck at the 'same sprite file size' part. See my second post for more details.
Nope, did not work.
File size of the ISO was way off.
Does anybody have a definite solution to this problem?
And stop telling me to do what i have been doing, its the matter of changing the filesize to match the one in the battle folder.

NEWAGURI (CUSTOM SPRITE)
size: 42.8kb
size on disk: 44.0kb

AGURI (BATTLEFOLDER SPRITE)
size: 44.0kb
size on disk: 44.0kb
   
And NO i did not change cloud's sprite or anything else, just agrias' sprite.

[gojoe]

you are overwriting the sprite, right? file size of the entire iso?

[DarthPaul]

did you leave the newaguri with the aguri name right?

[darkegg]

Overwriting, yes.
Name, yes.
File size of entire iso before adding sprites is 409mb.
File size of entire iso after adding sprites is 388mb.
Game hangs at square enix screen.

[Vanya]

There's definitely a problem with that. The ISO should always stay the same size.

[DarthPaul]

Not always when you change the fftpack.bin it removes the empty space, every time you do this it happens.  That is weird though it sounds like you made a tiny mistake somewhere.  Also nice avatar update Vanya.

Overwriting, yes.
Name, yes.

File size of entire iso after adding sprites is 388mb.

409MB was the original file size?

If you don't mind my asking, where did you get the ISO from?

[DarthPaul]

That was the size of my ISO Dom.

[Dominic NY18]

Weird. Mine was only 400MB.

[gojoe]

both of my copies are 399mb

[DarthPaul]

Sorry mine came out messed up once at 409 but my original is 399mb.
