First, rename your wad for .wad not .bak

Second, Which program do you use? XWE? SlumpED? or anything else?

 

[Boinciel]

The manual way to do this is to batch export all the frames while your lump editor is using the 1.09.4 palette (set the resource IWAD to 1.09.4's srb2.srb), switch the editor to 2.0's srb2.srb, then re-import all the sprites. Quite a bit changed between 1.09.4 and 2.0 configuration-wise, so you should probably just remake the character definition lump from scratch. Other things you need to do are make the new required frames for the end sign and 1up monitor.

The easiest way is to use SLADE, which has a built-in palette converter. Select all graphics you want to convert, right-click and go to "Gfx -> Convert To...". For "Current Graphic", choose the "Doom" palette. For "Converted Graphic", choose "Existing/Global" (assuming that you have the 2.0 palette loaded). Then click "Convert All" and it's done. As Boinciel said, you're better off remaking the S_SKIN1 and OBJCTCFG lumps.

Oh, and there is no such thing as a .bak character file. .bak files do nothing but launch SRB2 with certain parameters.

.bak files? Sure you didn't mean .bat there?

 

[MascaraSnake]

...Oops. That happens when I don't think. Yeah, I was talking about .bat files. .bak files are just backups of WAD files.

Wad converted and such or whatever.

Nice one, dude.

I played it to give it a try and saw this message:

Warning: Mobj of type 83 with invalid sprite frame (35/27) of PLAY detected and removed.

 

[Senku Niola]

Works fine for me, the only issue is the wad never came with a life monitor or sign frames, those are that error. :x Not much I can do without those sprites, so owner's problem now!
