Bigger MVP and repacking grf question

[sharx]

Iam trying to fill Eboshers.grf with some missing bigger MVPs.

Actually iam not sure how to do it right.
What i did work out so far is to extract the GRF, found Dracula for a start.
Extract the dracula.spr with rosprtoolkit.exe to 58 different pictures.
I think i can increase the sice of them and repack it into a .spr file but all buttons are marked as ? beacuse its any chinese or korean language :/

My Problem is i dont know
1, How to get the dracula spr back into a grf?
2, How can i get my 58 diferent pictures back into a .spr? (a better converter would be a pleasure)

Forum search doesnt helped me much i just end at unanswered Topics or some with a work around the Problem like replace MVP mobs with smaler monsters instead of answer how to increase the sice

Update the SPR_Conview (View Only) can extract and create .SPR files and is in English!
Why it says view only is out of my understanding.

I can increase Porings .SPR in paint by 100% each file seperatel. If doing all files with things like image resizer i get the error "only uncompresed or 256 colors images only" at packing teh bmps back into a .SPR file

The GRF still dont work as it should. If i extract Data , modify it and choose "merge Dir" at GRFBuilder it adds all the data to the existing Data what doubles the filesize 
I am sure deleting all the 40,000 files in GRFBuilder before "MergeDir" isnt how it should be but iam still fumbling around for a better solution

Sadly after all is done the Monster Poring is still as small as ever.
For testing Purpose i tryed like mentioned in anotehr Topic to switch Data.
So i renamed all Porcelino files into Poring without chanche at the apearance of Porings ingame.

Use ROUnicode to convert Korean to ASCII.
Use SPR Converter to disassemble the SPR file
Use Paint or Photoshop, whatever to change the size of all the sprites.
Use SPR Converter to turn all the BMP files back into a SPR file
ROUnicode file back into Korean.
Use GrfBuilder to open the GRF, then merge directory of the files you want added to the GRF and close.

It's alot faster and easier to find the SPR you want modified to replace/rename it with a SPR file thats already done, since there's a lot less room for error. It sounds like your problem is you aren't saving the files you edit to 8-bit BMP when you add them back to a SPR.

He sayed:
use actor2. I think one of the lua scripts it comes with does this (magnifier.lua ?) and you just have to alter the mag value or something.
this method lets you change the size using act files alone, without bothering with the spr files.

Extract with grf Builder
Modify ACT File by using magnifier script
merge dir with grf builder
choose repack
and it works
