Title: CSS name freezing! please help
Post by: Reaver Ind. on May 23, 2011, 02:39:46 PM
I am trying my hand in making a CSS name for L'Arc, but it continues to freeze on me before I can get to the character select screen.  I'm trying to replace Ike's name on the select screen.  Can anyone help please?

File size - original is 828 bytes, yours is 1,28 kilobytes. Compress your image.

Okay, Thanks Jaklub.  I'm going to test it now.

Edit: No good, I used a tool to compress it to 720 bytes, but it still freezes. :(

heres what I usually do when Im making custom CSS names:

I take the original, colour it all black, then type the name in, with a font that default and not an addon. From there, I save as, replace the original, then test it. That always works for me

That's what I was doing for the longest now.  But The file becomes to big, and when I compress it, still freezes.  Is there a special trick in making them using GIMP, since that's the program I'm using.  Nothing seems to be working, not even name icons either.

Edit: I just downloaded the Rockman Dash pack, and I can't use even those names for R.O.B.  I'm getting the feeling that I can't use any custom names on my game.

Try to replace both sc_selcharacter.pac in menu2 folder and sc_selcharacter.pac in common5 with exactly the same file.

@TheHatMan: Yes, all name files are in PNG format and the new CSS name is about 501 bytes.  I'm not sure about the CSS icon name though, I don't know how to make those...

@zigheart: I been using Riivolution alot to test out sound hacks so I haven't went back to using Gecko.

Edit: This is the new file that still wont work.

I can't wrap my head around it as to why it won't work, its compressed small enough to work. :srs:
