SSB: Project M XP [v1.5] -- Final Beta Release

[alex9918]

Welcome all, To the Final release of Super Smash Bros Project M: XP! We've been working on this build for quite some time now, and i am proud to give you all, Project M XP Version: 1.5.

This fan made, unofficial project aims to add content to Project M by including stages, characters, costumes, movesets and music from all the Smash Bros. games as well as some great custom ones. As of now, this is basically Project M 3.6 (Full) with 600+ STAGES and more cool stuff!!!. It has 78 stage slots with several versions of each (Omega, Legal, Remake, etc) that can be selected by holding certain buttons that are shown in the stage preview. It also has the proper OST (Original music) for each stage.

Features:
Stage Expansion: max. 78 stages (Added: Using 78 stage slots)
ASL: alt stages via button combination (Added: Using 1-16 per stage)
Total Stages: 669 hue
SD Card: allow custom content via netplay (Working)

Here's the links to each version of the mod out and i hope you all enjoy!

How to select alternate stages:
Let's start by pointing out the elephant in the room. 600+ stages is a pretty ridiculous number and we know it. However, we made a mnemonic system to help organize, remember and browse stages so that they can be found in a matter of seconds! Stages are organized in approximate chronological order, so the first page has Smash 64 stages at the top, Melee in the middle and some custom at the bottom. Second page has Brawl at the top and Smash 4 at the bottom. Piece of cake.

NOW comes the fun part. Every stage slot has several versions of it that can be selected by holding certain buttons right after pressing and holding

(NOT Start). However, buttons have a meaning.
For the example, the

stands for Legal,

for Omega (last letter of English and Greek alphabets, respectively. #TIL) and so on,

was supposed to be A/Alpha (First letters, and for big stages, as opposed to Omega) but A is used to select stages and we could use only Start for selecting, but people are used to it, so yea. That's why.

Spoiler: Button Combos

Omega [Ω] - Small / no extra platforms

Alpha [α] - Big / extended (best for 3+ players)

Legal - Hazardless/Neutral

Remake - Remake/Remastered/Revamp/Retexture/Reimagined

Special - Stage that loosely relates to the main stage

Extras - 4 additional stages that relate to the main stage

We were on a hiatus and im proud to present this is the LAST build of Project M XP and i hope you all enjoyed it while it was a thing. Here's a few How-To's.

So, As you all know, Project M XP has been removed from development. And it's a damn shame it had to happen but...
I'd like to present you with...

Yes.
That is correct, This mod is not dead! We merged with the beloved Super Smash Brothers Legacy to form Super Smash Brothers Legacy XP, Which is everything you've come to know and love of XP, Matched with legacys flawlessness and high levels of polish. We hope you enjoy what we have in store for you and make sure you check out the Parent post to this one! (It's where you can download it when it comes out!)

 

[??Sanic Hedgehog??]

Please, PLEASE Can you give out the Codes You and Your Team Used to make the SSS and ASL. I want to combine this With my Personal Bulid.

 

[PurplishBacon]

Nice!!! I thought you guys had disappeared. I agree with Sanic though i would enjoy the codeset mainly for the SSS and ASL because your stagelist is the best I've ever seen.

 

[Cahalan]

Wait you guys got BrawlDJ to work? Awesome! Would like to know how to do the same one day (hackless build).

 

[Seebeast]

How does random stage work? Is there a way to have it choose random from all 600+ stages?

 

[??Sanic Hedgehog??]

Not possible. The Alt Stages require Button Inputs

 

[Framzo]

You can use the button and press random it will work (you have to hold down A + the modifier button) as an example if you were to press Z and pic random you'll end up on the omega version of the stage

There was some miscommunication while typing this out. We never got BrawlDJ working. We'll, have this edited out ASAP.

Sorry for the confusion.

 

[ALLCAPSSCRUB]

Will you close this thread and let nobody download it? or will you keep up forever?

 

[WorseDoughnut]

We intend to keep this post up, and the mirrors up as long as possible.

We definitely want people to be able to download and enjoy XP's final release!

It seemed to be a mis-understanding via me and my dev team while i made the post, we didnt have brawldj working, sorry!

It will be up for as long as SmashBoards is a website. Enjoy!

Oh thank god. Also will you upload the complete stagelist with alts on imgur or something similar?

 

[ECHOnce]

Not possible. The Alt Stages require Button Inputs

This is what I used to think, until I started using the 3.6 Netplay Build, which has all of FD's alts selected randomly. Whether you hit random stage and got FD, or picked FD by just pressing A or start. Not sure how ASL stuff works though, so I can't explain why or look into how.

So basically how to choose a random stage of an alt, just hold the button combo and select random. if the button combo doesn't exist it'll load base stage

Thanks for this man really wanted this to. Oh and by any chance would you make a full stage list?

 

[shikamaru12]

Do you have this as a .zip? My computer won't download the entire file and refuses to open it.

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

 

[TeddyBearYoshi]

Just curious, other than stages does this mod add anything? Like skins or music or anything?

 

[??Sanic Hedgehog??]

Actually, Can you tell me the exact codes needed for the Stages to work, JUST THE STAGES I'm confused as to which Code I need

 

[PZT]

That's great and all but could you guys do us a solid and re-upload all those spreadsheets telling us which files correspond to which stages, music, costumes and so on?

 

[PurplishBacon]

Yea I just looked through the entire code list and the asl and sss codes aren't there. that's just the basic pm codeset.

 

[WorseDoughnut]

Here you go.

Trimmed it down to relevant sheets (Music, Stages, Costumes, etc). Just realize that we never implemented any of the Costumes or Recolors. Left them there in case you wanted to grab the brawl vault links though.

 

[Javln Mastr]

Can I ask how you make the stage select screen preview so large? Is it something to do in Brawlbox and if so where? Ive noticed this in other custom builds as well, and Id like to customize mine sort of like how it was designed in earlier versions of PM, and of course increase it's size.

We dumped the textures from Dolphin, made high resolution versions, and used Dolphin's custom texture loading feature to have it load the HD versions. They are extremely low resolution on Wii though, due to file size limits.

 

[britipinojeff]

there are multiple results screens? does that mean the result screen works in asl too?

 

[PZT]

Yeah, same. I'm trying to figure out what codes you'd have to add to another .txt to make these stages work with Stage Clear and in the roster.

 

[??Sanic Hedgehog??]

P PZT Go to this (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BH_b46hXoab1OIklNob1n9fI2hDpgxag-svvGS8WS8o/edit?usp=sharing) and click the Codeset, There codes are there

 

[PurplishBacon]

Thanx for fixing the codeset link thing.

EDIT: can you turn on copying and pasting for the codes please.

Thats unfortunate because Im a hackless user atm and I dont plan to move to dolphin anytime soon. It can be used for homebrew though right? Because as far as I know dolphin uses the same build as the hacked version for Wii, or is it a hardware issue?

 

[Cynapse]

A bit lost as to what the Dolphin XP [Windows] folder is for...help?

 

[Oracle_Fefe]

I know I am being rather picky for asking, but does there happen to be a linux(Ubuntu/Mint)-related method to install PMXP? I am presuming that it is closely similar to mac.

It cannot be used for homebrew, unfortunately, and turning off custom textures in Dolphin will cause it to be low res once again. It's due to some extremely picky and annoying file size limitations that are hard coded into Brawl and essentially mean everything has to look terrible or the game will crash.

A bit lost as to what the Dolphin XP [Windows] folder is for...help?

Running Dolphin if you have Windows, but it should under no circumstances be deleted using any other OS, as it contains all necessary files for Dolphin to run.

I know I am being rather picky for asking, but does there happen to be a linux(Ubuntu/Mint)-related method to install PMXP? I am presuming that it is closely similar to mac.

I believe 1.5 includes a way to run the game off of Linux, though I'm not sure it has been tested.

 

[??Sanic Hedgehog??]

Is there some way we can get the SSS Codes from the Spreadsheet, Copying and Pasting has been disabled so I can't use the Codes :\

 

[slowbeatle]

Is there an app or such to implement character recolors and skins myself? i wanna try to add em

 

[LiquidDump]

Could we get export options enabled on the spreadsheet? That would be super nice.
