finally, some information on bones!
what exactly do the numbers after each animation represent? i know they are bone ID's but which ID represents the which part of the hitbox?

Can someone put up a tutorial vid? I'm more of a visual person.

yes, this would help me a lot too.


also, paprika killer, i think it would help the guide if you made one or two examples/walkthroughs of an action/subaction, and what each line means.

also, i think the guide is coming along very nicely. thanks for the post; it has helped me a lot to understand PSA.

EDIT:
how do you find the hexadecimal values for the angles of trajectory? i have seen the defaults, but how do you find an angle of, say, 57.3?
also, how does trajectory-growth work? is it some kind of logarithm, or is it a set formula that changes according to your input?

315 degrees is a perfect downward diagonal angle (in decimal).

weeeee, Thanks!

 

[RyuReiatsu]

Hmm, I'm quite stupid to ask this... But whatever.
I've finally started understanding a bit of it (Thanks to PK's guide ).
But I'm kinda wondering, is it possible to... Let's say... Change Falcon's Fair into Ganon's? Because I've changed his Nair into the Knee already. I want to make my own Falcon.

Right now I don't think it's possible to swap animations between characters. The best you could do is find something similar to Ganon's fair that Falcon already has and exchange it for the knee.

While I'm here, this is a great image for finding attack angles. You just have to convert the decimal degrees into hex, and remember that these degrees assume the character is facing the right.

So like, I could use his aerial Side B's animation?

 

[Adapt]

Can someone tell me what the random commands that look like this mean:

04020100: 6-4
or
10040200: 0-2, 0-3
etc

There are a lot of them in most moves

 

[DeadX]

@adapt: i'm pretty sure magus knows. i think he did a post earlier on about all the values and what they meant in luigi's bair.

and i figured out what i was doing wrong with the trajectory and stuff. i was converting to FP not hex. woops

also, do the damage and trajectory growth use hex to? for example, in the "damage" parameter in "body collision" , do i use hex or just regular numbers?

[Wander]

Yeah, those are the visual animation effects. For attacks without any special animations already, I -think- you have to add the Graphic Effect yourself, but I haven't tested it.

For people who have tested these, can you post the origin of each effect like I did for the healing effects?

If I go in Peach's down B Action, it says it loads 1DD.
So in the subaction 1DD, it says "Sub routine 0x00015E08"
So I went there and this is what I get "Generate item" and the value is 2

and as far as I remember, Peach doesn't throw banana peels XD

[Deleted member]

once again thank you segab, you really are helping out.

aslo, people, remember that bones are, like they imply, bones or parts of the body. while indexing which moves uses which, it is a better idea to search for moves that specifically are hitboxes at the hands, feet and swords (or blaster with wolf). then what is left can be arms, legs and torso's.

EDIT: and please keep the posting level above that of GFaqs.

 

[Phantom Wings]

Just a couple of things to note to (hopefully) clear up a few questions.

All of the eight digit commands are the ids of the commands that have yet to be defined - the values displayed afterwords are their type followed by the value so 1-EA60 would be scalar value for 60000 - likely something to do with sizes or timing.

A switch statement (sorry, I really must have been on something when I wrote the description) is like an If statement, but with multiple "cases". Something like:

Switch (RA-Basic[0])
Case 1:
[Execute commands1]
case 45:
[Execute commands2]
case 112:
[execute commands3]
default case:
[execute commands4]
end switch

If RA-Basic[0] = 1 then command set 1 would execute. If it equals 45, then command set 2 would execute. For 112, command set 3. And if it's none of them, then it will execute the default case - command set 4.

As far as I know, I've pretty much taken every precaution against memory problems, so using Add shouldn't have any diverse effects (PMario was made using gratuitous amounts of such) If anyone does encounter any errors when using Add or Paste, then please message me.

Nops are simply used for lack of a better command to add when you select Add (though they are not used to pad deleted commands)

Generate Article (as opposed to generate item) will create a projectile/prop that is specific to the character - in this case, turnips (an article) get created whenever you use Down B. On the off case that RA-Basic[2] holds a value that is a valid item (RA-Basic[2] is most likely filled with an external event list in which PSA can't handle yet) then it will create an item in Peach's hand instead - with the item being 5-20000002 (which is RA-Basic[2])

>_> How we make characters dissappear and reappear?

And hence the entire reason I wanted to release this alongside Pharrox' program. This can't be done without custom animations. Don't blame me - it was you guys who wanted it out early.

so is RA-Basic[2] like a random number generator?

But I love this program anyways. :D

 

[Deleted member]

thanks PW.

I had a feeling that it would be something like that with the switch, but I figured no information would be better than the wrong one.
I very often heard the amount of lines where a problem, so I thought I might as well make people cautious of using it (which they should unless they are remaking a PMArio ).

also, are you sure the nop wouldn't be a good use for that? I've seen a couple "goto" commands that refered to halfway anoth subID, which I figured might cause a problem.

and also thanks for clearing the other things up. keep up the good work!

no. RA stands for random access. these are variables that can be accessed by anything.

>_> Well...teleportation is...Movement + Invisibility + Invincibility. I know movement is possible, and I know invincibility is possible...and I forget if Brawl has the invisibility item or not...curse my never playing with items!

So I figure if you apply all of those...it will feel the same...? I mean...I could try to make it work without it then... just speed up the travel speed.... bleh. You're always right PW...T~T;

-DD

 

[Sushi21]

Has no one figured out what GFXs etc. make the bat/sword items visible yet?

My best guess would be to change the animation from the swing to the Side Smash.
Then you can just add graphics to it. That's my best guess.

But since I don't know how to switch animations, (even though it says in the guide. I can't find any animation values) I can't really test it. Anyone know where to find it?

Oh, and thanks for writing those out Phantom Wings!

 

[Zolga Owns]

I think you just copy everything in the BatSwing animation and put it where the Side Smash is.

 

[Phantom Wings]

thanks PW.

The system currently used is one that is used by many modification programs - simply speaking, whenever a list of events exceeds the size of it's original, it allocates some space at the end of the file, transfers the code to the new location, and changes the pointer to reflect the new location. The old location is then flagged as empty space so it can be used if something else of a smaller size needs to be relocated.

Using this system pretty much ensures that there will be no memory problems to speak of when modifying files.


It's true that a nop would be good to keep the shape of the code, but because there's already the whole reallocation thing going on, there are going to be many problems regardless. I suppose I may have to end up making it check all of the available pointers to see if they are pointing to the location in question and change them accordingly - though that is likely to cause a large slowdown in the program.


Also, I suppose I'll have to reinstate my last answer to DarkDragoon.

I've given it a bit of thought and yes some animations (such as Lucario's Double Team) are based off of the animation. But moves like Zelda's teleport could possibly use a different system to work... As shown with Metaknight's infinite dimensional cape, teleportation is simply making the character invisible and giving them omnidirectional movement - so perhaps you should look into MK's Down B.

 

[SymphonicSage12]

Ok, did I do this right? I want jigglypuff's first win pose (Win1) to be her down taunt. For both 1C0 and 1C1 (down taunt) I changed the data in main, gfx, sfx, and other to what it is for the win1.


so now for down taunt, the only place that has data is SFX, like in her Win1. And I changed the name of the down taunt to Win1 as well. Did I do this right?


Edit: nvm I figured out it was wrong and I fixed it

So long as the ID for her down taunt now has every bit of data from her first victory pose, including the name "Win1", it should work.

Also something trivial I discovered: If you replace the waiting stance after a victory pose with pretty much anything else (I suggest the basic "Wait" standing animation), you can control your character after they do the pose and basically play on the results screen. The losing characters will all be in the background and are untouchable, but you can move and attack just like you would on a regular stage (though pressing A scrolls through the results as well as attacking). If you go too far to the right or left, the game freezes.

it's not values, it's the names
in the subaction tab, there should be "sub-action", "event", "animation", and "animation flags" if you replace the text in the animation box with the text fromt he animation you want, you'll get another animation

Important
The 2nd to last digit is SHARED with some other flag (possibly part of the SFX flag?), so the 1st digit will be combined with this other flag's digit. This other flag seems to always either be 0, 4, or 8

this here sounds very reasonable, since the hitting SFX should only be trigged by the hitbox
i think we already can change that without PSA though, can't we?

i also took a look at the post that contained the attack effect IDs and saw this

06200000 slash
07A00000 slash
11B80000 Fire
27A00000 Frying Pan
2BA00000 Tennis Racket
2DA00000 Aura
44200140 hit
46200000 slash

85A01000 Darkness
86800000 Slash
8A200000 Screech Attack
8F2009E8 Electricity

and it doesn't match up

LOL I can just imagine captain falcon victory gloating. :OOO





And the only data on the victory pose at all is the sfx, so I changed the sfx stuff of the down taunts with the sfx of the win pose. I kept all the other down taunt stuff in as well. And I changed the name to Win1 for both down taunts. It should work now, right?


and cookie monster had a list of attack effect id's, and you only need to change the last two numbers.


The list: (From...Magus, I think?

_________________________________________________

The hitbox element flag is only the last 2 digits. Changing it to that entire thing droughboi listed will change lots of properties of the hitbox to whatever the original move was that flag set was copy/pasted from.

Element:
------YY

Important
The 2nd to last digit is SHARED with some other flag (possibly part of the SFX flag?), so the 1st digit will be combined with this other flag's digit. This other flag seems to always either be 0, 4, or 8

This other flag could look something like this:

(Part of SFX?):
------X-
or
-----XX-
or
----XXX-


So considering both of them, it could look like this:
------ZY
or
-----XZY
or
----XXZY

...with Z being the combined value of the 1st digit of the element and the last digit of that other flag. If the last 2 digits on the original flags are ------45, and the original element of the hitbox is Fire (05), then to make that instead have Darkness (13) the end of the flag would now be ------53, Normal Hit (00) would be ------40, Aura (15) ------55, etc. If it was originally Fire and the last 2 flag digits were ------85, Darkness would be ------93, Normal Hit ------80, Aura ------95.


This is an old elements list, but it seems to match what's used here as well for the one's I've seen:

YY
00 Hit
01 ?
02 Slash
03 Electric
04 Ice
05 Flame
06 Coin
07 Cape
08 Slip
09 Sleep
0A ?
0B Impale
0C Stun
0E Flower
0F ? (gives hitstun to some moves that don't normally have any)
10 ?
11 Slash 2
12 Hit 2
13 Darkness
14 Stun
15 Aura
16 Impale 2
17 Down
18 No Flinch

Again, don't overwrite the 2nd to last digit with the element's 1st digit. The 0 or 1 in the element is combined with the 2nd to last flag digit which is also shared with a different flag.

Question. I've made my character shoot a raygun as his b move. However, after he shoots(I want him to shoot only one bullet before he puts the gun away), he just freezes instead of going back to his idle animation. What should I do?

 

[Shadic]

You need to tell them to go to the new sub-action or whatever. The shoot subaction, and the "Put away gun" sub action are very much likely different. Compare the original gunshot, or something.

The system currently used is one that is used by many modification programs - simply speaking, whenever a list of events exceeds the size of it's original, it allocates some space at the end of the file, transfers the code to the new location, and changes the pointer to reflect the new location. The old location is then flagged as empty space so it can be used if something else of a smaller size needs to be relocated.

Using this system pretty much ensures that there will be no memory problems to speak of when modifying files.


It's true that a nop would be good to keep the shape of the code, but because there's already the whole reallocation thing going on, there are going to be many problems regardless. I suppose I may have to end up making it check all of the available pointers to see if they are pointing to the location in question and change them accordingly - though that is likely to cause a large slowdown in the program.


Also, I suppose I'll have to reinstate my last answer to DarkDragoon.

I've given it a bit of thought and yes some animations (such as Lucario's Double Team) are based off of the animation. But moves like Zelda's teleport could possibly use a different system to work... As shown with Metaknight's infinite dimensional cape, teleportation is simply making the character invisible and giving them omnidirectional movement - so perhaps you should look into MK's Down B.

Alright, well perhaps one could find a value or something to give you invisibility and omnidirectional movement, and then add ntangibility frames to the move. That should be theoretically possible.

And PW, I have a question. How do you add momentum into a move? I mean, for example, BigSharkZ changed the animation of Marth's up B to the screw attack animatioon, but it wont go up. How would one add upwardsmomentum to this sort of move?
