MeksEvoX Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 so ive had my f90bt for about a month now and just starting to "hack" it a little. now ive made copies and back-ups my "myflashdisk" like 5 times already. Im just trying to modify the "image.res" in the common folder of the adr. Can someone tell me.. 1) the size of the pics, have to be the same size as the original?, im using a serif photoplus software to modify the picture. file have to be .bmp format right? 2) the settings for the 7zip soft. set to "ultra" from the thread about 8-9 down.lol 3) do i have to copy the whole myflashdisk and just modify it from there and compress everything? 4) when i compress the file back down itll be image.zip and all i do is erase the ".zip" and type in ".Res" right? im pretty sure its all in the compression of the file. so if someone can give me a step by step on how to compress and extract file thatll be great. the problem that im having is itll start my splash screen and gets stuck. doesnt do anything. ive gone back and forth from the .bak and have put everything back to normal fine. can someone help me out please. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MeksEvoX Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 So one out of four I'm doing everything right lol. Problem is how do I make sure my icons gets back to the same size, 112? And when I extract it, do I extra it within, into a file etc? Same thing when compress. Normally I just compress it into a new folder and change the .zip to .Reg.

Normally I just compress it into a new folder and change the .zip to .Reg. what i would suggest is using the exact same icon and just modifying it, also, does the software your using support channels, if so then you also have to modify the channels, if not, find a software that supports it like photoshop when extracing just right click the image.res and click extract with 7zip, then ok when compressing you have to right click the image folder and click add to archive then ok Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MeksEvoX Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 well i figure out how to keep the files the same size but now when i compress it, it gets bigger. im close but not there. anyone ideas? to compress it i just go back to "image" and select "add to archives..." then it turns into "image.zip" then i change it to "image.Res" which turns into 1766k.

MeksEvoX Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 The space after I compress everything back gets bigger. So my modified image.res becomes 190k instead of the original 112k, even though the .bmp that I modified is the same size. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
