What has everyone been using to edit/create .bclim files? I found <this tool> and tried using it, but the game will crash whenever the .bclim is supposed to be shown onscreen. I know this DARC tool works just fine, because I was able to manipulate and move around some already existing .bclim files from the .arc, and the game did not crash.

ChrisX930, are you currently using anything to modify .bclim textures with your ongoing project?

Be sure that you are selecting the same output format that the original bclim was. Also, be sure to rename it before replacing the original bclim.

Yeah, I triple-checked that the format was the same, and the file is definitely the same name as the original.

I'm not exactly sure why the game crashes upon loading it...

I tried exactly the same tool you have linked here.
I tried to convert a png into the same format ás the original file, but the quality sucked hard.
So I tried any other format in higher Quality and it worked well.
Here's a example of my "new" Title Screen

This is a example where I only changed the Logo

It looks to me like the import worked and you didn't have to keep the image in the original format. But when I tried picking a different format to make it look better, it crashed the game (actually, the game crashed if I kept the format the same as the original too).

So which image format did you use? I want to try the same format as you since it obviously worked.

It did not used the same format and the file size is different.
Original Filesize of TitleUpper.arc => 966kb
CUstom Filesize of modded TitleUpper.arc => 1862kb
I used the bclim-format #9 "RGBA8888".

Thanks. I'll try that and see if it works.
Sidenote: You wouldn't happen to have a PAPA unpacker/repacker hiding somewhere, would you? :lol:

Aaaaaaaand game crashed :wacko:

Either HM3D isn't nearly as picky as Story of Seasons (which is what I'm working on), or I'm doing something wrong :/
Not sure if Story of Seasons will crash with this method, never tried yet (because I don't own it on eshop so I can't test it with NTR_CFW).
But yea, as you can see, it runs perfectly for me.
Will make a small tutorial (video on youtube) how this will work.

but for now, gn8 :D
