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?
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.
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.
Checked the WotL section yet? I'm pretty sure this is not a new issue.
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.
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.
you are overwriting the sprite, right? file size of the entire iso?
did you leave the newaguri with the aguri name right?
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.
There's definitely a problem with that. The ISO should always stay the same size.
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.
Quote from: "darkegg"Overwriting, yes.
Name, yes.

409MB was the original file size?
If you don't mind my asking, where did you get the ISO from?
That was the size of my ISO Dom.
Weird. Mine was only 400MB.
both of my copies are 399mb
Sorry mine came out messed up once at 409 but my original is 399mb.
399 sounds normal.
It was messed up when it came out at that size though? Maybe his ISO is messed up then.
time to get a new game.....
Quote from: "Dominic NY18"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
The size of my iso is 399mb after and before i patched it with fftpatcher.
My mistake, it isn't 409mb.
So nobody here can solve my problem?
Btw, does spriting work on every region version?
That we know of yes, desu.
That means that nobody here can solve my problem.
Try ripping a new ISO.
EDIT: desu.
Okay thanks.
Btw my iso size is 399, i made a mistake.
But i'll rip another iso.
It might have just been UMDmages (or whatever its called) fault, desu. Hope that works out for ya, desu.
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 (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)?
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.
Trying it now.
EDIT: Did not work.
So what now, is there no other solution other then buying another game?
Does the patch work when you don't edit the sprites?
Yes.
Then you have messed up the sprites in someway i shall test this myself just tell me which sprite you changed with what.
methinks your sprite has custom colors or exceeds the color count
Tiss possible but wouldn't shishi tell you if that where the case?
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.
I already have the sprite so i'll try it and see what happens.
Been 3 days, have you tried it yet?
Oh sorry yes I tried it twice and one ISO had your problem and the other one worked so I'm looking for the problem.
This problem is flustering.
I see. So... Time to get another ISO?
Yes that's what i think cause i have 6 working ISOs and the one nonworking one and they are all the same so other than that i dunno.
Gah. Don't want to spend the money to buy the same game.
I'll just download it somewhere.
The best thing I can think of since you already own the game.
