My ZSS texture hack freezes at the SSS

[PAVGN]

I need some help, I made a Zero Suit Samus texture hack recently that works fine in the game, But If you have ZSS selected when using this hack, The game freezes at the stage selection screen. I have no idea why this is happening so If anyone can help, I’ll send It to you If I can trust you to not tell anyone what It is, Or send It to anyone else. I want It to be a surprise.

Make sure that you have both the PCS file and the PAC file for Zero Suit Samus.  Also, make sure that neither file is corrupted.

I use the .pac and .pcs with all my of my characters. I used Brawlbox to make It, So at first I thought that that was the problem. But then I used ASH to make It and It still froze at the stage selection screen. So I'm not sure how to fix the files If they are corrupted.

Do you have a hacked selection screen?

Do you have a hacked selection screen?

Nope.

Same thing happened to me when i downloaded a bowser texture.

did you save the .pac and .pcs using the 'pair' option? I used this once and this same thing happened to me

Yes, But I use that option for all of my hacks so why would that cause problems for this one?

Hmm, Perhaps I could use Brawlbox to only make a .pcs then make the .pac using LZ77Ex.

You can just use BrawlBox to change the compression status.  No need for lz77ex, since that's too slow.

How do I do that?

Wait, how does it work fine in-game but it freezes when you choose her?
Anyway I had a similar freezing problem with Peach, check to make sure the textures are formatted correctly (for example, Peach's body and head textures only accept CMPR).

That's what I'd like to know. If I can find that out I might be able to fix It. And I know the texture format is correct because I didn't change the texture format when I made It with Brawlbox and you can't change formats with ASH.

Take a look at the image below for the full story.



To compress an archive, set the "Compression" status to "LZ77".  Select "None" to completely decompress it.  This can be done with any PAC file or BRRES file.  This doesn't apply to PCS files though, since they're automatically compressed when saved.

So you're saying I should compress the .pac file?

You're missing the point.  I'm only trying to help you learn how to compress and decompress files with BrawlBox.

Zero Suit Samus's PAC file can't be compressed, so you set the "Compression" status to "None" if it isn't already.  And again, files saved as PCS files are automatically compressed with BrawlBox.
