If it were a small amount of files I could do it, I'm talking about 100 to 200, but it depends. Filing should not be hard if it is 200 files though. I did try to categorize some of the planets, in an earlier attempt, but because of all the duplicates I decided not to. If you could reduce it to only the necessary files then I would do it. I will not sort 1000 files though. I suggest you put a link to mega upload when you want the files to be sorted.

Also don't just depend on me for this get at least 3 people to do this if there are over 500 files.

i'd help.

but how to sort them?

However, there are no duplicates, EVERY SINGLE ONE of those files is important. and it will take days or weeks to sort through them, And I'd rather not do it all by myself.

separate the files into 3 to 5 equal groups and have 3 to 5 people sort through them. Instead of having 1 big jumbled up mess to work on alone you should have 3 parts and at least 3 people working on 3 parts would be more efficient.

By the way how many files are we talking about.

Approximately 1000 files per planet. so about 100 frames per slice.

I'll help out. ^_^ Should be easy enough to do. I have lots of time on my hands as I have no life. lol

One thing though, is it relatively easy to tell which planet is which? I'm scared I'm gonna mess up one and put it in the wrong group. XD

Holy S#!T.
Oh well I guess I could do at least 1 planet, but when I copied the planets from the game it was a completely different story. Are we seriously doing 100 frames per slice. Also how many slices are there per planet, so I can get ready.

Don't worry about grouping it wrong the emulator doesn't have any problem discerning which file is which, but you sure would tick Andross off if you did. Just don't rename the files or else the emulator will not display them.

there's about 10 slices per planet.

makes sense with 1000/100 I just wanted to confirm it. Also I hope you aren't having the same issue with the sectors because they are just 1 picture and are not hard to modify.

@andross- When will you post the link for us to organize the files.

I think I will do Katina first.

Titania, so I can get the hang of it. lol

I'd help but I can't sorry.

Hey guys, I don't know if anyone has noticed this before but I was just looking at the file names trying to see if there was anything similar about them and well I found that if you look at the file name it usually has something like:

ex. STARFOX64#A1CE1863#2#1#AB8D5C47_ciByRGBA

The last part of the number indicates what planet it is so if I were to search, AB8D5C47 I would get all the parts of Titania.

If the search bar at the top doesn't give you any results, go to advance search and put it in the Name field.

So hopefully that helps you guys and saves you a bit of trouble.

that is GENIUS thanks Shippo!

need i remind you that my laptop has no data on it anymore? sorry but it's true, maybe in a bit i could try to texture dump on my mom's computer but i don't know how well that will work seeing as we have a HORRIBLE processor on it.

Ok I know shippo found out that the end of the file name is unique for every planet. I suggest we group the parts like this.

Top1
Top2
...
...
bottom2
bottom1

then we go by the end numbers.

I'm going to try and group them then post them after I am done. I don't know how to use megaupload so some advice would be nice before I get to that point.

So I'm about halfway through Titania, down to the slices that look very similar. That being the case, if some are put in the wrong folder by mistake, will you be able to tell and fix it?

Megaupload is really easy, you don't even need an account there. All you do is go to the megaupload home page, wait until the page loads and a bar with a browse button will appear click the browse button and navigate to the file you want to upload. Fill in the form information, click upload, wait and when it's done copy the link it gives you and then you can post it on the forums. Make sure to save that link somewhere if you uploaded without an account. If you want to have a database of all the stuff you upload make a free account. Hope that makes sense!
