And WHY is it so insanely large. Geez, people, use your brains. Small filesize is more important than a custom soundtrack 9 times out of 10.

shadowstar · Mar 17, 2005

I didn't use a custom soundtrack... hmm....I didn't zip it up either, but I doubt that will do much good.

hotdog003 · Mar 17, 2005

All of that is just SPRITEWORK???????
:eek:

Golly gee wiz, you must have > 250,000 sprites in there!
:eek:

shadowstar · Mar 17, 2005

Hmm....No, Just the ones I changed and the ones I didn't...which is about...2000

Shuffle · Mar 17, 2005

Still, how can it be so big without music?

hotdog003 · Mar 17, 2005

Dark matter?

Use XWE's Clean Up command. I bet that it would get it under 5 MBs.

shadowstar · Mar 17, 2005

Hmmm... I think you guys are thinking I started from scratch. However, I copied and edited srb2.srb

hotdog003 · Mar 17, 2005

!
Oh...
Why not just take out all the unedited sprites 'n' stuffs?

Why not make an IPS patch, send it to me, and I'll patch up a WAD and host that?

It's quite easy to make an IPS patch.

You will be prompted to select an unaltered file (srb2.srb), then an altered version of the file (your edited srb2.srb), and then to name the resulting IPS patch. If the altered file is larger than the original file, you will also be prompted to name the file where the extra data will be stored.

shadowstar · Mar 18, 2005

Well... I emailed the reduced file to HD003 hoping he'd host it for me but...he hasn't done it yet and I'm getting a little... impatient Anyways, if you want the file, tell me, and I'll email it to you.(really quick too, I'm usually always on the boards) So... just ask...

hotdog003 · Mar 19, 2005

Sorry. I havn't gotten arount to it yet. I'll go do that now.
:oops:

But, did you send the actual WAD or the IPS patch?
'Cause, usually, the IPS patches would have something like a .IPS extention.

shadowstar · Mar 19, 2005

I sent the wad. What's the difference?

(hd003) That's OK. I usually do what you did except on school asignments.... :wink:

Shuffle · Mar 19, 2005

What's an IPS patch? o.O

Ritz · Mar 19, 2005

Shuf, you silly n00b! *stoned to death*

hotdog003 · Mar 20, 2005

If you've ever played Sonic 2z, then you've brushed an IPS patch in there somewhere.

Basically, all an IPS patch does is show the difference between the bytes in the two files, and then lets you change them.

Sorry. My sister is playing on my computer now, so I'll get it hosted in about... oh, an hour or so.

JetKrazy · Mar 20, 2005

Yes, there are IPS patches are made for any game(as far as I'm concerned). I've seen IPS patches translating JAP to ENG on some games (ahemromsahem). So, yeah, they are actually quite easy to make. Easy to use too

Shuffle · Mar 20, 2005

Yeah.. I've used them in Genesis ROMs before, but I thought that's all they were for..

They sound useful, any chance of telling me how you use them?

Ritz · Mar 20, 2005

You take the patch. You take whatever you wish to apply it to. Got it? Good. Now take a hammer and use it to smash them together, works every time.

I dunno, I always assumed that the .waw files and all the other crap that you get when you make a wad had something to do with patches and the sort.

Shuffle · Mar 20, 2005

I always thought the .waw were temporary files that Wadauthor needed..

Ritz · Mar 20, 2005

You don't need the .waw files, as far as I know. I just delete them, and everything still works fine.
