Texture Modding using ZLIB functions in X-PacKer 9

Thanks to MiztahRaza for writing this up

Ever been annoyed by the fact that you had to update those pesky little arc files for a simple attire retexture? Or perhaps you had to edit another file that X-PacKer couldn't update the arcs for? We've all been there, but, with the arrival of the brand new, kick-ass X-PacKer 9 you won't ever need to touch those again! Well, maybe sometimes

So, let's get started:

You'll need the following:

• X-PacKer 9
• Your favourite photo editing software

Aaaand, that's basically it.

Okay, so first off, you're going to want to have a texture file ready to go and make up a sweet texture. It doesn't matter who you want, it better be good though. If it ain't the modding Gods be comin' after you

Then, uncompress your chxxx.pac file using xbdecompress.

Open your uncompressed file in X-PacKer 9 using Ctrl + X

Extract the PACH file you wish to edit

Open your PACH file using the Ctrl + 3 function

Uncompress the 000A and/or 000C.pac files according to the textures you want to edit.

Press Ctrl + T and choose your 000A/000C texture archives.

Inject your edited texture.

Open the PACH file using the CTRL + 3 function again.

Now, press the "Compress and inject" button in X-PacKer 9 and choose your 000A/000C file.

Inject your PACH file back into the chxxx.pac file.

That's it! No need to update the arcs! How conviniet, right?
