(Almas's) Clone Engine Code Generator (v1.1.1 now available!)

Hmm, the asterisk thing is unexpected. I guess the program thinks he's using a slot that another character is using. What other characters do you have added so I can try fixing this problem?

That last thing is also a pretty okay idea, but I would like to reduce digit input as much as possible. C++'s input and output streams can get really touchy if you use them to assign a string to, say, an integer. I guess I could use number strings, but that's really not that much different structurally than what I have now. Changing all the if statements to match them (and since there are a bunch of characters, there are a lot of them) would be a pain.

The name-typing thing is the most efficient validation method I have because a user can put a theoretically-infinite number of characters in a string and not screw the program up. All I need to do is check to see if a name matches one that the program expects. If it doesn't, it tosses an error at the user.

Also, I kinda figured that not knowing the entire Brawl roster wouldn't be a problem as long as you know what characters' .PACs you're using. Using a list means that you would have to scroll through a (rather unordered) list to find him/her, which would be pretty frustrating if you can't see the name of the character you want amidst the numerous other character names. Here, you can just type in the name and be on your way.

Anyway, your post seems to hint that you really can have multiple button combos for each character. Did you get it to work?

Unfortunately not, but that doesn't mean I'm giving up on it. I've got a few more things I want to try first. Maybe I'll go read through Almas' topic to see if they have any ideas.

 

[MagmarFire]

Hmm, I'm not getting what you're getting. Do you remember what characters you put in before you put in Sonic?

Also, if you're using v1.1b, I recommend downloading the new patched v1.1.1 in the OP. There was a bug in the entity listing function that ended up forbidding Captain Falcon to be added.

 

[Maverick-Pro]

Where does the .txt go? It doesn't seem to be generating the code at all when I am finished with the program after I press 4.

 

[MagmarFire]

The .txt appears in the same folder the program itself is in. You may want to make sure the program closes normally before you open the code file.

 

[AceSe3don]

In which folder should I put my character's files? It doesn't say that in there.

Spoiler

LUCARIO VS MEWTWO FTW!

 

[MagmarFire]

The file structure is basically the same as when you want to put in regular textures and .PACs in Brawl, only instead of the pf folder, you put it in the two-letter-name folder that you named yourself.

For instance, if you named your folder tb, it would be like this:

X:\\private\wii\app\RSBE\tb\fighter\*character name*

 

[Maverick-Pro]

I don't think this is working. I set the Clone-code to L+R+A for my Classic Controller Pro, but as I use that to select a character, the same PSA and textures remain.

 

[MagmarFire]

What does your code look like? What folder name are you using? Are you making sure you're pressing L + R before A? What character are you trying to select? What does your directory look like?

Details, man! XD

 

[Olikrom]

I don't think this is working. I set the Clone-code to L+R+A for my Classic Controller Pro, but as I use that to select a character, the same PSA and textures remain.

In my experience, I've noticed that the fewer buttons the code has, the better it works. Cut out either the L or R buttons with your activator and see if that does anything for you.

If I may ask, does your code depend one just your FitMario.pac?

I have...
FitMario.Pac
Fit.Mario00.Pac
Same for 02
03
04
05
06
FitMario00.Pcs

04

FitMarioMotionEtc.Pac

Does that count as a single file value?

I got this code:

It does't really work.

I was using a Doctor Mario PSA.

Oh yeah, I used a folder called lm and L+A on the GC controller

 

[Ultraxwing]

I forgot all about this. but you can't fight characters against the same character. example. Lucario Vs Mewtwo is impossible for it just hot swaps the PSA'S or does it work? for a few of my friends tell me it causes issues. i would love to do this.

Also, did this How swap engine really work? i know it works, but i would love to see video representation. i would test it my self, but my wii is such a picky butt head. it's also old and is starting to lag out and die.

Yes, the engine only cares about the FitCharacter.pac, because that's where the moveset data is held. Everything else contains textures and bones.

I think I noticed where your problem lies, though: The "6D6C" part should be "6C6D". As an alternative, you could switch the letters in the name of the folder around, making it "ml". For some reason, the hex is backwards.

I'll have to look into this sometime. :S ...But at the same time, maybe you switched them around by accident during the initial running of the program.

I dunno. This is something you'll need to bring up in the other thread. I'll link you to it.

I'm running into a problem with this program (or the code,I'm not sure which). I named my folder pz, my controller is GCN, my button combo is AZ, and I added entities for C.Falcon and Ganondorf--as far as I know, I entered all the information into the program properly and I put the generated code in the GCT properly. For some reason, I cannot get the alternate PSA I put in the pz folder to load. I do not get any freeze, or any other error--I just get my normal PSA that's in my pf folder.

Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

 

[MagmarFire]

I'll need to see the code that's generated before I can make any suggestions.

Hmm, well, as far as I can see, the code has no problems at all. With the given data, I can think of two possible reasons: (1) the pz file is in the wrong directory, or (2) the button combination is not getting registered as you select your character. I propose you check to see if the folder is in the right directory on your SD card, and if it is, I recommend that when you select your character, you hold down Z first and then press A. It's possible that A is getting pressed before Z even though you're pressing them "at the same time"; clock ticks inside a computer are really fast, after all.

 

[SonicTheHedgehog02]

sorry for having a reply after several months, but I read this and didn't see anything for the wiimote+nunchuck, so I downloaded the older version just to test it out, and it didnt work. the file was za and i held down z then pressed a. then i released and pressed start to pick a stage then a on the stage. if you need my code, let me know.

 

[MagmarFire]

Nah, don't apologize; I appreciate people continuing to show interest in my work.

Anyway, unfortunately, the option for using button combinators for the Wiimote+Nunchuk combo was removed in a previous version because, as far as I know, Almas's code only works for the Classic Controller and the GameCube controller. :/

 

[SonicTheHedgehog02]

dang. well, thanks for replying. do you think in the future there will be the abilty to use this with WiiNun?

 

[MagmarFire]

I sincerely doubt it, personally. With Project M coming out later--which, I hear, may have a clone engine that will make Almas's obsolete--and with Almas saying (I believe) that he wouldn't port the Wiimote+Nunchuk, you'd be much better off using the other two controller schemes. Sorry, man.

 

[SonicTheHedgehog02]

Darn. oh well. i guess i have to wait thnx for helping me

 

[shadowXtreme]

Do someone can tell me a working button combination with WII CLassic COntroller?
