Adapting stages to P:M.

[Skimchee]

Hey, I did some stuff to the Paper Mario stage that Nausicaa has under his thread. I thought it was pretty much good as is, but I found that the right wall still had a gap in the collisions. I believe I fixed it now. I also reversed the paratroopa texture and paper peach now flies in from the top left. Idk, just small aesthetics. Oh and I ported it to go over Flatzone2 so the characters appear flat now (.rel file included). http://www.mediafire.com/?na3hbk8kva4870b,nece8vzeqx3o80j

 

[Skimchee]

oh and here's a picture for your convenience

 

[hotdogturtle]

The stage is smaller than SSE: Jungle with a similar platform layout, it's about the size of Final destination. I couldn't modify much else because the stage is basically one big model, but I thought it was already pretty good as it is. Enjoy !

I haven't actually downloaded anything or read anything else in this thread, but you can edit things like this in the newer versions of BrawlBox with the vertex editor now.

 

[stampface]

Yep SSS pics are included for each download.

How do you put stage select pics in?

 

[Sluigi123]

I can help you with that question, but not here. I'll PM you a tutorial of how to put in SSS pics into Brawl, sometime later.

I got Lineland Road, and it works as normal in practice, but in multiplayer, it just loads up a glitched Shadow Moses Island. If anyone's got help, I need it.

How do you adjust the camera for P:M? I've heard there are camera changes in the Project M stages, but I'm not clear on what they do.

 

[Xenozoa425]

Camera data is in the STPM file in BrawlBox.

Did you replace all three of the stages ? You have to copy the file in the download three times and rename it "STGMETALGEAR_00, STGMETALGEAR_01 & STGMETALGEAR_02" for it to work properly or there will be a chance for it to load the normal Shadow moses stage.

 

[stampface]

Do I copy the PAC or REL files?

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out. Thanks for the info.

 

[Aenglaan]

Would it be possible for someone to adapt Speer Pillar for P:M?

 

[Nausicaa]

Good call on that one. :D

Camera, Blastzones, Spawn Locations, and a few other details like that are essential for adapting Stages.
Can't count the number of Stages I've had to tweak for that stuff to make sense. Simple example, look at PM2.5 Norfair (not sure if it's the same in 2.6 as I just used my changed version right away).
Some characters start the game 'teetering' over a ledge above other characters. So poorly designed. haha

You can find tutorials of that stuff on youtube probably, or just google the stuff. Pretty simple number/file tweaks, and needed often. I was going to adjust the Spawn-Points on that Paper Mario stage in the next version too. No character should start on a platform hanging off the stage with another character potentially spawning in a position that's basically edge-guarding them. haha

 

[Sixth-Sense]

This stages are great! Is bbq still gonna work on them though? Hope so

 

[bbQ~]

Sorry for no update i've been lazy xD. I recently made an alternative version of castlesky with the Castle Siege's background. Btw platforms are not glitched in game (looks odd on the picture). A new stage should also be coming soon.

EDIT: Updated the OP, go check it out !

 

[Sixth-Sense]

yo you should really try to give earth destination a animated backround bc damn its ugly, although the stage itself is amazing, you really dig deep with the stages don't you? the rest is awesome, just ED is so meh without an animated BG

 

[Alm5252]

I recently made 2 versions of Wuhu Island with Project M in mind.

These are them:

Wuhu Island

Wuhu Island Night

I love the stage but for some reason the CPU AI keeps running back and forth to the left most tree and then to the platform above the door. Please look into this when you can, it makes it almost un-useable for Player VS CPU matches =(

The ledges for the stages are that from the original Final Destination in Brawl, and it has that lip where you can get trapped and die instead of sliding up directly as in the Melee Final Destination. The original creator of the stage said they wouldn't release the final build on Brawl Vault.

Bummer I know.

 

[Pwnz0rz Man]

I've now adopted Castlesky, Clocktower, and the alteration of Yoshi's Island to my stage selection, oh I took the suggestion to make Shadow Moses into a triple stage Mushroom Kingdom/Lineland Road thing. Can't say I have any complaints, though I did notice that some of the music in the Clocktower songs folder is full of static.

All in all though, good job.

 

[Perfecthell4]

Having some trouble with this one. Any stage that i wanted to put over a different stage than suggested said to replace the .rel through the link provided, which i did, and that goes in the module folder. I then changed the .pac file name to match the stage i chose for it to go over, and put that in stage->melee folder. Whenever i load a stage in game that i replaced this way, the game freezes. Any idea where i went wrong?

EDIT - FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM MYSELF

I might get into that eventually.

This has been fixed in this version.

What do you mean by "full of static" ?

Glad it works for you now, if you have any other problem let me know .

Link?

 

[bbQ~]

Link?

You haven't checked the OP in a while have you ? haha

 

[Pwnz0rz Man]

There's a quite noticeable burst of static-like sounds when I try to listen to either the Byrne battle -Spirt Tracks or the Remix - Zelda Wind Waker -Molgera- 2010 Edition brstm. It sounds like static/like someone is breathing into a microphone through the entirety of the song.

 

[bbQ~]

Have you tried listening to them in brawlbox to see if the same thing occur ? I haven't noticed any problem but sometimes the songs don't sound well in game, deleting them and putting them back in usually solves the problem.

That's the thing, I wasn't listening to them in game. It was on my PC in advance straight from the .zip. I'll look into a re-download through and see if that works for me.

 

[Perfecthell4]

Yeah, the problem was the .rel files, i was using whatever rel type provided as the base to convert, rather than what the instructions said. My fault.
Heart Gold / Soul Silver doesn't provide any Switch image btw

 

[AFROofJUSTICE]

Is it possible to replace Castle Siege with Castle Sky (Castle Siege background)? For some reason I am having a tough time getting it in. It freezes whenever I click on it. Does it have something to do with Castle Siege transforming? ... And yes I have followed the instructions in the "READ ME !"

 

[Skimchee]

Would it be possible to edit out the amaterasu model on sei-an? I think it looks kinda tacky/lazy to use the twilight princess wolf on an otherwise brilliant stage. I tried getting rid of it, but the stage freezes when I test it. I've also tried deleting its textures, but it still appears, just as a black silhouette.

Castle Siege is obnoxious to replace, you're better off putting Castlesky someplace else.

So is Lylat Cruise.

 

[Pwnz0rz Man]

Yes, but at least Lylat Cruise is a pretty good stage in 2.6. There's always been something about the first part of Castle Siege that I've never liked.

 

[210stuna]

You haven't checked the OP in a while have you ? haha

Oh that's great, but could you have the original with the original platform design then?
Or the original design with the blue background?

Either or.

 

[Skimchee]

I don't really understand why I was quoted if the reply had nothing to do with my question, but okay. Still looking to delete the okami wolf though.

 

[AFROofJUSTICE]

So there is a way to replace Castle Siege with Castlesky? If there is absolutly no way, is there at least a tournament legal version of Castle Siege? I am trying to build my own stage roster.

When I tried to replace Castle Siege with an alternate version of anything, the stage still went through transformations and ended up with awkward glitches. For instance, before they released the version without the stage two transformation, I had tried replacing it with an alternate trio of Final Destinations. While it did in fact alter the stage to be final destination, it still transformed, and when it got around to stage two, there were invisible statues that blocked projectiles.

The version we have from Project M is probably the best version of Castle Siege we're going to get any time soon.

Oh..... Its best if I leave it alone then. I'll try it over a custom stage instead.

For my build, I've swapped out stages that don't have a lot of competitive value to them.
Mario Circuit -> Castlesky
Pirate Ship -> Clock Tower
Shadow Moses Island -> Mushroom Kingdom PM/Bowsers Castle/Lineland Road
Frigate Orpheon - > Stage 2 Frigate Orpheon frozen in place
Pictochat -> Yoshi's Island from this very thread
Kongo Jungle 64 -> Same stage with shorter side platforms
Summit -> Summit PM

I still want to replace some of the other less competitive stages like Rainbow Cruise, Temple, Big Blue and Onett, but I don't know what to swap them with yet. Onett is especially hard because if I remove that stage, then there's even less Mother representation than there already was.

 

[Sluigi123]

Brawl+'s Castle Seige never transforms and uses the first one only.

Is there a download for it? If so, may I have a link to it? Also the Yoshi's Island on this thread does not include SSP.
