Hey, it's generically epic here. I am a competitive smash player. Anyways, I've played a few local smash tournaments and I've won them. I actually was the first to suggest and get in Mario's fire ball catch taunt. :3 Anyways, so I have a build that myself and JosephJoestar made. I was the manager. I was in charge of collecting textures, choosing stages, and making sure everything was viable. JJ was the brains. He was in charge of putting everything on the SD card. He made and put on custom music, edited the stages, including slightly editing stages to make them viable, putting in portraits, and generally did most of the technical work. This build was made in mind for a competitive player. This build has some personalized music, textures, and stages unavailable on brawl vault. This build is in a beta, we currently are waiting on HopeForANewDay to release his other work to further finalize the build.

The goals of this competitive build were as follows:

Music:

• Add in some awesome music
• Add music that fits the stage (sometimes it's hacked)
• Add in remixes (Space Jam mixed with star wolf on lylat cruise)
• Take songs from the series and add them in
• Take songs unavailable from brawlvault and put them in ourselves

Textures

• Replace textures with cannon outfits, such as ice mario, assault falco, phazon suit samus.
• Find better team textures (especially for pokemon)
• Using the highest quality textures
• Keep them tournament legal
• Personally edit a few textures to make them better, knuckles sonic, pirate chu, etc.
• Make them a similar color to the color they replace
• Keep them the "Same" character
• Mega Pokemon allowed, clones allowed, them dressing as other characters from their series allowed, other versions allowed. Examples: Boshi, Mega Charizard X, Marth with Lucinia's mask, Toon Link cosplaying Young Link, Feirce Deity Link, Knuckles Styled sonic (purple eyes, redskin, green shoes), etc.

Stages

• To generally leave the first page alone, except for aesthetics and music.
• To replace all banned stages (except for training stage)
• Trying to keep the banned stages as close to the original, while fixing them competitively (such as making frigate orpheon not flip, putting ledges over the holes in jungle japes and removing swimming, making delfino plaza stay in the air, etc.)
• If the stage was unfixable, something competitive from the same series was added.
• If nothing could be done, then it was replaced by something from the smash series, such as a grab the trophy stage.
• Stages with portraits and HopeForANewDay 's stages were prioritized.

Where do you come in?
Well, as of now we need someone who can help us look professional and organized. This includes:

• Take pictures of the textures and stages.
• Videos of it would work, especially with music.
• Portraits: battle, stage, icon, etc. Anything that involves a picture, we need help.
• Making a good forum post that is worded nicely, looks neat, has pictures/video, and a list of everything changed
• Help finalize the build, check for quality, including stages and competitive play.

From Jojo:
Before we begin:


This tutorial will assume that you:

• Know how to navigate through a computer
  
  
• Know how to save files
  
  
• Know how to drag and drop
  
  
• Know where the Desktop folder is and how to access it
  
  
• Know where the Downloads folder is and how to access it
  
  
• Are using Windows

If you are confused or frightened by most of the above and have no remote idea of what I’m talking about, I suggest plunking down money on a Mac, because unlike Windows, Macs are designed for the most computer irresponsible and computer-******** individuals on the planet.


Not herpin’ and derpin’ yet? Good! Let’s get started.



Step 1: Plug in your SD card


(If you know how to do this, skip this step)

This step should be fairly obvious. Make sure your SD card is 2GB or less. Minimum 1 GB. The reason being is that Project M will refuse to load on an SD card that is higher than 2GB.


Step 2: Make a backup of your SD card


(If you know how to do this already, skip this step)

You will want to create a folder on your Desktop and name it something. For organization’s sake, I would suggest naming it with a date, such as “January 15th backup”. That way, when you make multiple backups, you can tell the difference between the two without having to dig too deep. I would also suggest keeping old backups as well in case something goes horribly wrong.


Drag the contents of your SD card to this folder. You’ve made a backup!


Step 3: Download the newest version of Project M


When you go to the downloads page on the Project M website, you should see something like this:



Assuming you are using Homebrew, you will want to download “Homebrew Option ZIP (Full Set)”.


When your browser asks you what to do, click “Save file”.

Save the file, “homebrew.zip”, to your Desktop.


Step 4: Format your SD card


Formatting is the quickest and easiest way to not only delete everything from your SD card, but can also potentially fix problems if you are playing Project M and you get problems like Stages that worked before suddenly not working, Music cutting into stages that it shouldn’t, weird texture problems and such.


Remember I said delete? Yeah. Formatting will DELETE everything off of your SD card PERMANENTLY. This is why I highly recommend making a backup. Making a backup allows you to retain the files on your computer, and you will need said files for later steps.


Anyway, in order to Format, you go to Computer and find your SD card. It should either have an SD card icon, or it may say something like “Removable Disk”.


Pay attention to what the letter of that SD card is. It can be something like “(E” or “(G” or “(F”, and you will need to remember this letter for a later step.


Right-click the SD card and click “Format”


It will ask you what format you want. Something along the lines of “Default” or “FAT” will work. Make sure it is not “exFAT” or “FAT32”, as those are not the correct formats.


Click Start and click OK. It will be done fairly quickly. Click OK afterwards.


Step 4: Open homebrew.zip


Open up homebrew.zip and drag & drop the contents to your SD card.


Step 5: Dealing with hacked stages


Now, this step is fairly important. Project M adds their own versions of stages into its build, and if you have had any customized stages in a previous build, it will be overwritten.


Actually, no, it won’t be just overwritten. The customized stages from your previous build will most likely freeze due the Stage files not matching up.


This can be prevented by going into the following folder:


X:\projectm\pf\module


(where X is the SD card letter. See Step 4.)


And deleting everything that begins with “st_”. EVERYTHING that begins with “st_” must go.



This where the backup you made comes in. Go to the folder where you made the backup and go to this folder:


\projectm\pf\module


Doesn’t this look like the one I told you delete the “st_” stuff from? Yeah. It does!


You’ll want to drag & drop the “st_” files from this folder and put it into that same area on your SD card.



Next, on your SD card, you’ll want to go to this folder:


X:\projectm\pf\stage\melee


And remove everything in this folder.


Now, like what you did with the \projectm\pf\module folder,

You’ll want to go here on your backup:


\projectm\pf\stage\melee


And drag & drop everything from here into the same area on your SD card.


Step 6: Safe to overwrite?


Every folder in \projectm\pf except for:


fighter

module

stage



…can be safely overwritten. Overwriting means saying Yes to all the things that tell you “Do you want to merge this folder?” and “Do you want to replace this file?” and checking the box in the bottom left corner that says “Do this for all [insert number here] items”.


Step 7: The rest


Module and Stage have been taken care of if you managed to follow Step 5 already. You need not worry about them.


Fighter is a little bit different, however.


You can go ahead and say “Yes” to things that ask “Do you want to merge this folder?” and safely check that box in the bottom left corner.


However, when it asks “Do you want to overwrite” or “Do you want to replace”, say No or Don’t Copy for all of them. And make sure to check the box in the bottom left corner to save time.


Clicking Yes instead of No for overwriting or replacing will put an old build’s characters on your SD card, and you don’t want that.


You’re done!




*Final note: In this process, you will be losing character and stage portraits if you’ve customized them. Covering portraits is beyond the scope of this guide.

Question: what if I want to download this build purely for fun and not tournaments? I don't think I'll ever be tourney ready but I'd love playing on stages that are competitive ready on page 2.

Sorry I can't really help, I'm not great at doing the things you're describing

While it was made to be competitive, it is also a fun build.
Of course you can download it for fun. Our great music, stage selection, and textures are good for any build. :3 If you don't like something, just delete it. ^_^

 

[EdgeTheLucas]

Cool, thanks for the heads up

News:
Build is up
A general changelist should be up by Sunday.
Stages will be more updated when H4AND comes out with his stages.

Also looking forward to Sunday. I've been stressed out all week, playing someone else's competitive build without doing anything competitive with it is just the ironic thing I need to help me relax

You can backup your old build and try out mine now, the link is up. ^_^ :3 For quick character checks, just put on 4 computers and pause and reset. Boom. Music, just go to the music section. Most stages aren't changed on the first page, but most are on the second page. :3

Oh I didn't see the link, I'm such a putz.

I'll download this for sure tomorrow if I can find an empty sd card lying around (my computer is slow so backing up would take LONG). Right now relatives are using the computer, plus I'll have more free time tomorrow.

Cool. This build is full homebrew btw. :3

Too much traffic, uploading to media fire

Wait so this doesn't work on non homebrew wiis?

Wait so this doesn't work on non homebrew wiis?

You won't be able to just drag and drop with one click. The textures, stages, and music will. Just delete your (make a backup because reasons) fighter data, module, stages, and music and replace it with mine.

 

[Convour]

I can take pictures of the textures and stages if needed.

thank you. I'd love that. ^_^

 

[Generically Epic]

I got a portion of the changelist down. The textures, anyway. I'll go ahead and post the texture portion here. I understand now why Project M's changelogs are always delayed; there's so. much. typing.

Anyway, the character not being listed means no texture changes were made.

I'm still in the process of taking screenshots of all the textures, but here's what I've got so far http://imgur.com/a/xH0Bw#0
I chose to do the training room for all of them to have consistency in the stage and lighting.

Once I'm done with them, I'll do some stages.

Thank you and you're welcome! All of the textures are done uploaded now, same link as before. I'm going to do some stages now. Question: do you want to stages to be plain (no characters, items, etc.)? Or do you not care if fighters are in it? I can do plain by using libertyernie's stage editor and/or brawlbox if needed.

I'd prefer plain, but anyway is fine by me. :D

Added mewtwo to character textures, so now textures should be all done for now. Let me know if I missed any.

All stages are done now! http://imgur.com/a/htkZ9#0
Should be in the same order as the stage changelist. Only stage I didn't do is the Pirate Ship; no cosmetic changes for it really.

I checked the reddit thread again, and it appears there are more textures in the change list there than what is here. I updated the imgur link for those now (toon link, wario, yoshi)

Quick question about your stages
Are they updated with 3.0 camera and stage updates? Like for example the Subspace version of Battlefield (Dimensional Space), the one on Brawl Vault was only last updated for 2.6...
Did you fix them or are they just the older version?

I ask because I may use a few
