Title: Help with SSPs Post by: Chuy on May 15, 2010, 09:40:44 PM Yeah anyway ever since i added the stage portraits for fourside and mushroom kingdom all i get is the beep of doom and i've tried importing the files as different types like .png and .tga but it hasn't worked
Suggestion? Title: Re: Help with SSPs Post by: RevengeHunter on May 16, 2010, 08:07:32 AM I think there is a file size limit for sc_selmap.pac but im not sure how big it can be. You should try the sc_selmap in BeyondYou's portrait thread its a little smaller. Another thing you could do is replace the text in MiscData 60 and 70 with question marks. And I don't think you should be using .tga.
Title: Re: Help with SSPs Post by: Chuy on May 16, 2010, 08:18:00 AM Hmm... i'll try that
I generally use .tga file foir SSPs when i get a freeze because generally it helps fix the freezing well at least for me Yep it was the filesize fixed noa thanks! Title: Re: Help with SSPs Post by: DocStrange on May 16, 2010, 09:09:35 PM Indexing the SSPs you put in, or heavily indexing the icons generally works like a charm also.
Title: Re: Help with SSPs Post by: ItalianStallion on May 16, 2010, 09:19:17 PM i dont think there is a limit since i have a SSP made for 90% of my stages.
make sure the big portraits are 176x176 make sure the small ones are 64x56 and are indexed is that all u edited? did u edit stage names as well? Title: Re: Help with SSPs Post by: mnsg on May 17, 2010, 06:50:35 AM For a small tip, you can keep the semi-transparency that's present on the stage select portraits. Also, reducing the maximum number of colors that the portrait uses helps too.
Title: Re: Help with SSPs Post by: Chuy on May 31, 2010, 01:33:20 PM okay ran into this problem again when adding a couple of portraits
i found out about that 2 different portraits for some stages i'm using are making it sky rocket in file size so is there any way to make it not to do that and is there any other ways to make the filesize smaller? |
