Question about psp spriting

[Dominic NY18]

399 sounds normal.

It was messed up when it came out at that size though? Maybe his ISO is messed up then.

[gojoe]

time to get a new game.....

It was messed up when it came out at that size though? Maybe his ISO is messed up then.

Yea I accidentally dumped my entire bonus sprite folder into it and it came out at about 409.5mb

[darkegg]

The size of my iso is 399mb after and before i patched it with fftpatcher.
My mistake, it isn't 409mb.

[darkegg]

So nobody here can solve my problem?
Btw, does spriting work on every region version?

[DarthPaul]

That we know of yes, desu.

[darkegg]

That means that nobody here can solve my problem.

[DarthPaul]

Try ripping a new ISO.


EDIT: desu.

[darkegg]

Okay thanks.
Btw my iso size is 399, i made a mistake.
But i'll rip another iso.

[DarthPaul]

It might have just been UMDmages (or whatever its called) fault, desu.  Hope that works out for ya, desu.

[darkegg]

Still didn't work for me.
I'll give the steps of what i did to the ISO.

1. Patch ISO using FFTPATCHER
2. Extracted FFTPACK using UMDGEN
3. Extracted FFTPACK using FFTPATCHER
4. Opened up NEWAGURI using SHISHI SPRITE EDITOR and saved over AGURI.SPR with the name AGURI.SPR
5. Repacked FFTPACK using FFTPATCHER
6. DRAGGED the NEW FFTPACK over the OLD FFTPACK in UMDGEN and clicked on YES to replace OLD FFTPATCHER
7. SAVED FFT AS UNCOMPRESSED ISO
8. FILE SIZE was 370mb++ compared to NORMAL 399MB
9. Game HUNG at SQUARE ENIX screen

Thats what i did. If theres any errors, please point it out.

EDIT:
Haha, after looking at http://www.ffhacktics.com/psx/spr.php
I figured that maybe i was replacing the wrong sprite.
Will update after spriting.

YET ANOTHER EDIT:
Did not work.
Used same steps as above, except i tried to retain the LBA integrity after failing once, to yet fail again.

Note: I retained the LBA integrity of the fftpack to forcibly set the filesize of the iso to remain at 399mb, and it still did not work.

Btw, my LBA of the FFTPACK is normally 22592, but after replacing just one sprite (not cloud) the LBA drops to between 10000-20000 (did not take note of the value, but the value is the same all the time)

So, any suggestions? Download an ISO of FFT:WOTL (US) instead of using my current FFT:WOTL(EU)?

[DarthPaul]

Could it possibly be a problem with your patch, and by that I mean try spriting without the patch.  With that info it seems easier what the problem could be.

[darkegg]

Trying it now.

EDIT: Did not work.

[darkegg]

So what now, is there no other solution other then buying another game?

[DarthPaul]

Does the patch work when you don't edit the sprites?

[darkegg]

Yes.

[DarthPaul]

Then you have messed up the sprites in someway i shall test this myself just tell me which sprite you changed with what.

[gojoe]

methinks your sprite has custom colors or exceeds the color count

[DarthPaul]

Tiss possible but wouldn't shishi tell you if that where the case?

[darkegg]

I used the new agrias sprite, replaced it over AGURI.SPR and did not work, then i did it all over again, but instead of AGURI.SPR, its KANBA.SPR.

BTW I RENAMED THE SPRITES CORRECTLY and i DID NOT TOUCH CLOUD.

The NEWAGURI.SPR can be downloaded from the main site.
