Compress a pac file

[joshl94]

how would i go by compressing a .pac or .pcs file?

[Segtendo]

.pcs files are compressed (using LZ77 compression).
.pac files are uncompressed.

So, to compress a .pac file, go into Brawlbox and change Compression to "LZ77" and save as a .pcs.

would the same thing go for a motionetc file?
what if the file size is still too large?
what should I do then?

You don't compress fitnamemotionetc.pac or fitname.pac

Those don't get compressed.

[joshl94]

well i just compressed a motionetc file and it seems to work fine.
The reason why i'm trying to find out a way because Edgy Bluz said he could release what hes got of Byakuya if the motion file size wasn't too big and I'm trying to help him.

[dingo]

It doesn't usually work. If a motion pac is too big then removing as many key frames as possible is the best choice of action

It should be pointed out that some PAC files do need to be compressed.  This includes all the files in the menu2 folder and the info2 folder.
