Help with sc_selmap file size, too large + other questions.

[Ulevo]

Alright, so. Trying to make some SSS portraits for my custom stages. I have the SSS icons and names all done, and the file size has stayed around the same thus far, but it starts to expand too much when I add the portraits. I need about an extra 20 Kb or so of space. Does anyone have any suggestions for a) reducing the size of the images while sacrificing as minimal quality as possible, or b) does anyone know if there are any files in the sc_selmap file that I likely will not need that I can delete for extra space?

My other questions, although not a major priority, are:

1) Which file and sub folder is the handicap button on for the CSS? I am looking to edit out the handicap text and change it to buffer.

2) How do I go about changing the stage portraits on the random stage select screen?

3) How do I assign specfic emblems to specific SSS portraits, and how do I add new ones without replacing current emblems?

Thanks!

i wouldn't recommend deleting them, as the game would freeze when that pic is supposed to show up.

to easily reduce size:
export pics not cared for
edit in paint (the uglier, the better XD)
replace back in

and ur other q's:

1. forgot, sry XD
2. i don't think they're there, cuz i couldn't find them. :/
3. you can't really do that for specific stages, i've tried. XD

hoped to have helped some. :D

At :23, it shows custom name, emblem, and game icon. I want to know how to edit those specifically to different stages. i.e. Battlefield and Final Destination have the same emblem/game icon, how would I go about editing say, Battlefields emblem/icon to custom fit a custom texture that replaces battlefield without replacing the emblem/icon that goes over Final Destination, or any other stage that shares the same emblem/icon.

There must be someone with the answers I seek?

that's what i was saying. you can't replace an emblem without replacing all the others. XD

All emblems are shared between one another. IE: Metroid symbol is shared between brinstar, norfair, and frigate orpheon. Any stage series that are shared between game series, IE: Metroid, Mario, Smash, etc will share the same logo. AFAIK you can't prevent that at all. Sorry if this post is confusing.

Nah, it's alright. I bit the bullet and solved the problem. Thanks though.
