Pardon me, but this problem has been going on for months: Cafiine has stopped working for me. My setup is correct each time, but when loading up MK8 the boot screen is stuck (you'll notice it when the engine sounds are on loop). And when the game starts, no mods show up. It's because the server is stuck listening on 7332, which it never did before.
You sure your IPv4 hasn't changed? Check it in a command window with the "ipconfig" command.

convertGTX.bat open and in a second the app closes, what i need to do?
Well, there's two possible solutions:
1.) Edit ConvertGTX.bat. Press enter, to add a new line, and type in "pause". This'll let you see if there's any errors.
Or, the more basic way..
2.) If there isn't any GTX files in "Convert" for ConvertGTX to do it's job, it's gonna instantly close. What probably happened is that a new folder was created inside "Convert" and that's why your batch file isn't working. Take all the files from the folder named _____.bfres and drag them into Convert. It should (hopefully) work, now.

That Cafiine thing happens to me a lot and I honestly don't know the right way to fix it. Sometimes resetting my router works, sometimes I just have to try multiple times over until it gets "unstuck" basically. One time it stopped working for a whole 2 weeks.

At the moment, I am doing a Bowsy mod using Bowser's model, if someone is interested in help me, send me a PM
I have 3 problems:

1.- Bowser has 5 bracelets, 2 per arm and 1 on the neck, there are 3 different colours, the spike color is the same for all of them, other for arm bracelet "background" and the other for the neck bracelet "background" but I want the arms spikes in one color and the neck bracelet spikes with other, Do you know how to add a new part to the body_alb.dds for the neck spikes?

2.- Bowsy has one bracelet per arm not 2, so I thought to change the second bracelet color to yellow and "make it invisible" but if I do this I will change all bracelets colour. Do you know how to do this?

3.- When you play the character texture mod, it changes a lot of times to the original texture, so 1 second new texture, the next 1 second the original texture... I heart its something relationated with the mipmaps but i followed the MK8 Modding Central guide step by step...

I have posted an image so you can see the parts I am mentioning, and if you want to do this you can help me of course
Bye!

These are bflims (in the location victormr21 said they are) and the szs files (like Menu.szs) are SARC archives. We can't edit them yet. We can get all the way to the point of having to convert them back to bflim but there's no tool that supports the proper texture formats yet.

Are mrbean and chadderz building CTGP MK8?

No.

I'm trying to repack an MK8 sarc with sarcpack, but I'm stuck on getting the padding value. It says you need to find 0x8 in the szs, but all I see is a 0:

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Hi!
I'm doing a mod for MK8. It modifies all cup icons (i replaced them with other objects icons) and the Bowser icon in the drivers screen.
All this files are .tga and seems that Cafiine only replaces "packed" files not individual files
How can i do it? I have the game on disc, i thought that in downloadable format i will be able to do it with FTPiiU because discs are ""non-write" (you can't modify his files) but its stupid because i have 5GB of memory.
Bye!
PD:@Harmonia your mod is awesome, congratulations! But i saw a video playing a full MK8 Deluxe (not a demo) and the icons are the same, maybe you can change in the settings
I'm trying to decompress menu.szs and menu_title.szs, i opened them in HxD and i saw Yaz0enc......SARC so i decompressed them like a szs but then i couldn't decompress them like a SARC
