Title: CD Mage Question - Only one import at a time?
Post by: DameonLG on February 10, 2012, 12:13:06 am
Title states the question. Does CD Mage only allow you to import one at a time? I spent about an hour swapping out probably between 50-70% of the sprites out in a folder I made to work with and can only seem to import them one at a time.

Don't use CDage to replace sprites- use Shishi instead. It's included with the FFTPatcher suite. :)

Haha I answered you on IRC but you left, this is why i asked what shishi you has earlier too, you don't use CDMage for this. You can view and replace them right in Shishi

To actually answer your question: Yes.

I replaced the sprites with Shishi, and tried to re-import them with CD Mage. So I should use Shishi to re-import? It was a bit confusing because it says 'import' but the import tool only lets me bring in new .bmp images over sprites I opened with Shishi.

I tried opening the .img files with shishi to edit, but the only way I can open up .img files with shishi right now is if I right click the .img file and go 'open with' and select the file and that just gives me a blank shishi interface where all I can do under file is 'open' again. If I go 'open' from shishi the .img files aren't selectable. I figure that means this version isn't compatible with .img

As I told you yesterday .img works fine, there is NO compatiblity issue. You need to get Shishi .478 in this you open your .img, then you go the sprite you want to replace and insert a new one, shishi saves automatically and then its done. I really have no idea where you are getting the idea that you need to do anything regarding sprites with CDMage. You NEED to do it in Shishi you you can set the TYPE correctly on any that differ

and what do you mean by re-import? You import one time in shishi, that's all, done.
