File Size Trouble (WTF IS HAPPENING?!?!?!?)

[JoeGrandma]

I know that once you add around 7 KB to a .pac file, the game doesn't have enough memory alotted for it, so the game freezes.

When I went into FitRobot.pac from the original download, ONLY DELETED lines and then saved, the file size INCREASED BY 14 KB.

WTF...

And when I saw a Sonic moveset hack, the file size was more than 40 KB more than the original BUT STILL WORKED.

WHAT IS HAPPENING??!?!?!?!??!

Can someone please explain how file size works (and maybe how corrupt files could tie into this)?

From my experience, what i assume is the EOF indicator, it seems to reset once it hits passed FFFFF, not making the number higher, so thus making the EOF wrong. Im not sure if this is correct, but from what i saw in the .pac files this was the only conclusion i could come up with.

I heard about dantarion fixing this in his new PSA thing?

What tool are you using?
Don't delete resources, it will cause the game to freeze.

I'm using PSA v.1.3.

I tried to edit FitRobot.pac and I think I made it to about 480-something KBs...

But then I added more and it froze. I thought it was a corrupt file so I tried to put all of the changed moves over on the original, but when I got rid of stuff, the file size increased by 14 KB.

I'm not sure what you mean by "deleting resources," but I don't think I did it.

Should I post my file?

1.3 has issues, use the older builds

Yeah, same thing happened to me when I used 1.3. Also, saving it using another build doesn't always help, you might have to make one that was never edited using 1.3. Annoying, I know.
