Concerning uncompressed uni files in models.big

Recommended Posts

I've noticed that the uniform files in the models.big are uncompressed after I installed KC's uniforms. I foolishly compressed them.

Are they so suppose to be like that? I guess thats why ive had some crashing recently.

As far as I know, all uniforms are stored in models.big.

uniforms.big only contains images of the different uniforms which are used for the preview in the team selection screen.

Regarding jogar84's concern for the uncompressed uniforms in models.big, my advice is to leave them uncompressed as I tried to compress them once and it messed up my entire file (by compressing some files others were uncompressed and couldn't be restored!).

You did fine. The game comes with the uniforms compressed. Just open an original models.big & you will see.

Btw... in all my uploads that I did here, the uniforms are compressed (I compressed them myself) except the lite version which I of course did not install any uniforms to. (the uniforms there are default & are by default, compressed)

As far as the uniforms.big, you are correct. Believe me the file would not be so small if it contained all the uniforms LOL.

As far as compressing the uniforms & your advice not to,... it all depends on how it is compressed. Don't use biggui to do the compression. What I did was export all the decompressed uniforms & compressed them with eazip. I then put the uniforms back in with eagraph (thereby overwriting the one's already there) & locked my models.big in read only mode. Everything will be fine if you do it that way.
