Andarel's texture pack (Prerelease, please test!)

[Andarel]

So, a while back I started compiling a heavy-duty texture pack. After god knows how many hours of searching, CSP, battle portrait, victory portrait, etc. work...I have a working pre-release!

I would like feedback before I release this with full documentation, so if you don't mind -
>> test away! <<

Don't have a list on hand, but >> here << is a handy little CSP preview picture with a small portion of what I'm using.
The few people who have tested it have A) had very high opinions of it and B) confirmed that it does not freeze (at least, they didn't get any freezes).

This pack is team-legit (though if you think a texture needs more team-legitimacy, tell me and if that's a common sentiment I'll find a replacement), and has a complete pack of CSPs, BPs, and VPs. Not every texture is replaced, because there are a few textures my playgroup wanted to keep.

Thank you very much,

Andarel

- I will post a list of what textures everything corresponds to later today, when I get out of class. -

Update post!

List of textures:

UNCHANGED 1 = There was nothing that fit well enough to use, generally for team textures.

[Jiiprah]

great job with the CSPs...How did you manage to get them all in the same position?

 

[Andarel]

An absurd amount of time (40+ hours of BrawlBox, Brawl snapshotting, and photoshop work) and effort, mainly. It's not so much hard as it is ridiculously time-consuming.

 

[The_Altrox]

awesome as this is... it would be cool if we could download individual stuff off this list without searching all over. I'm creating my own folder with costumes I wanna keep

 

[Andarel]

Explain what you mean, exactly. Remember, this is just a prerelease - I aim to release all the .png files, and if you want any single costume that's easily findable by checking the index.

k, that answers my question

 

[DarkPython]

EDIT: I got it. The pack is awsome! could you maybe put gothic Peace in there?

 

[sinistersnakesennin]

EDIT: I got it. The pack is awsome! could you maybe put gothic Peace in there?

This is to be expected from Megaupload.
I highly suggest use of Mediafire instead.

 

[The_Altrox]

^ This. Megaupload is a drag

 

[Andarel]

Mediafire, unfortunately, doesn't really like me if I upload large files. Verification tends to bug out.

So, got some more testing in. Apparently one of the Kirby skins (0) doesn't work, which is a problem. But other than that it seems fine.

I used to have gothic peach in, and it's one I debated, but my group decided that Shroob and the Queen fit better in that slot.

 

[Jiiprah]

I've Decided that this is my favorite pack bc it's so clean. Many Thanks!!! I've switched from my own custom pack to this one.

Sugestions:

Donkey Kong Green - Hulk DK
Falco Red - Pink Falco or Fiery
Yoshi Red or Blue - Moss Yoshi (he just seems too plain)

 

[Andarel]

Hulk DK doesn't look good imo, the lines aren't that well-drawn and it's just a strange texture over-all.

Moss Yoshi is green, isn't he? That's not gonna work, got to be team-legit.

I like the red Falco I have, but I haven't tried either of those. I'll take a look at 'em.

 

[Jiiprah]

Yoshi: I suggest only using one of them just so there is variety

Falco: just think he needs more color

Just the CSP preview is full of win itself. I took a download and was not dissapointed.

Alright, nitpicky time! There are a few imperfections with the CSPs. But that's why this is a pre-release.

- Fox McCloud CSPs are not aligned perfectly. Some are a bit too high. Just drag them down a few pixels and you're fine.

- Same problem with one Marth CSP.

- Ganondorf was probably the most troublesome for you. He's different in all of them, and to be honest, it look like a pain in the butt getting the Ganondorf CSPs to where they were. If you have a perfectionist streak, take a look at Ganon.

- Lucario's Aura effects are different everytime. He's a toughie like Ganondorf.

In terms of handiwork with Photoshop, Fox McCloud is the worst, followed by Marth. The other two are just difficult because the snapshot timing is probably hard for them.

Other than that, the CSPs for all of the characters look uniform and great! Too bad about the edges on some of them, (**** indexing) but it's a sacrifice to be made for uniformity. You did a hell of a good job. If you feel like you have too much time on your hands, get your Gamecube controller out, and find the Debug Pause code for Brawl, and use that.

 

[DevilKiller]

Double post for teh win.

Another problem found. The dimensions of Ike's portraits are different. Normally, portraits are 128x160, but all of Ike's portraits are 178x223.

To be honest, I don't know if this affects the game in anyway, but I'd thought I'd let you know.

 

[Shadic]

Small request for Link: For his Dark Texture.

Haven't tested out the pack yet, but I really appreciate that you're leaving the 00 textures in.

 

[XmewtwoX]

haha i love this! i even replaced my own custom ones with this cause i luv it so much xD i can't wait for the finished pack xD

one sugestion though...can u make the blue yoshi into boshi? if u need the link to a boshi texture i can find it 4 u

 

[Andarel]

I made a post, but I lost it. Whatever.

To sum up:

- Debug Pause does not work, unfortunately. It messes with pausing for snapshots - I have tried.
- Lucario is impossible to get 100% due to aura random motion.
- I forgot to fix that one Marth one. <_____<
- Fox and Ganondorf are ridiculously hard usually, but I know how to do them now. I'll figure something out when I get free time.
- I'll fix the Ike CSP dimensions in the next release. By next week hopefully? Depends on homework.
- I don't like Alternate Dimension Link or whatever, dunno why. Twilight Infection looks the nicest and is the easiest to see on a dark background of the really dark links.
- Boshi? Gimme a link.
- Those Yoshis and Falcos...don't look very good. :s

nice.
when do you plan on finishing the whole thing?
i really like what you have done so far.

 

[Ninka_kiwi]

is the roy hack marth the model with roys hair or with marths hair also mabey mewtwo lucario texture hack could be added

 

[Andarel]

That Boshi...I'll need to try it out to see how it looks. Pictures make me a bit iffy.
Mewtwo-cario will not be added. There are too many good Lucarios and only 2 open slots; if I drop one I will need to add Anubis (the jet-black one). And Friender will not be dropped, it's too good.
The Roy is just a reskin.

I intend to add Cloud, but that's not gonna be finished any time soon apparently. Blaaaaah. I'll need to see how things go, because that messes things up a bit. Either way, I have tests this week and next week, so don't expect any progress until next weekend...but I know what I need to do. It's just a matter of timing and getting enough spare time to do so (and getting Brawl set up instead of TvC when I do have that spare time).

 

[Andarel]

Alright guys, I have a request. I'm recoloring textures that need to be made team-legit (Meta Nightmare's bright red cape is being turned a deep blue, makes it a bit less stylish but makes it much easier to play with in a red vs blue game). Which textures should I do this for?

The main ones right now are Meta Nightmare and Hector, but any suggestions are fine with me.

 

[Jiiprah]

great cant wait

 

[red stone]

This is awesome man. soooo nice that someone is doing this. thanks for all your work, ima try out this texture pack and get back to you but i'm sure it's great already

 

[Yavanna]

Wow this looks awesome! I will download it when it's finished! (I can't test it now 'cause I haven't got my wii) But do you mind if I make some suggestions?

For Pit could you add these new textures, they are my favorites! (Final Pit and Primal Pit)
http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=4475.0

For MK, could you change Meta Kirby with Cursed MK by Fireking220?

For Samus, instead of M.Chief Nebula Samus
http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=5417.0

For viewtiful Joe did you choose this one?
http://kc-mm.com/?p=2465

And could you replace Ichigo with Cloud for Ike please?


I know I ask a lot but that's your pack, do as you want!



EDIT : oh and I just found this awesome texture for Luigi : http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=260439&page=153#2287

 

[Jiiprah]

I second the Nebula Samus.

 

[Andarel]

Lessee -
Those Pit textures look pretty good, I'll test them out. Might replace Hitsu with Final Pit.
Ichigo --> Cloud has been in the works, just waiting until a Cloud is released that isn't buggy. Might have happened by now, been out of the loop for a bit.
If the Cursed MK is the red/black one, I can't say I particularly like it.
I'm gonna use Nebula 'dorf, it's much nicer than the christmas one I've got right now. Nebula Samus I'll need to test, but it's pretty good. It's a possibility.
The Viewtiful Joe is the old one. I haven't messed with vertex hacked textures at all.

I want to make room for Ashei, Scout Ness (hexed). Does the hexed VJoe have any significant size differences from the usual captain falcon (Joe is short...)? If so, then I won't be using it.

If I can get good snapshots of the female Poketrainer, I'm definitely using that. It looks pretty good, and it's a new and unusual thing that doesn't take up slots.

Thanks muchly.

I just got back to school and have reliable access to a TV again, but that comes at the price of having quite a bit of homework - though it fluctuates.

I'll repeat my main request though - for those of you using this thing, what costumes don't seem team-legit? Christmas Ganondorf is being replaced, so that's one gone, and I've recolored Meta Knightmare and Hector (at least, I think I recolored Hector. Hope I saved...) to be straight-up blue and not be odd in Red team vs Blue team matches due to their bright red capes. While looking through I don't see any problems (Roy's cape, perhaps?), I don't have the free time to do RvB / BvG / RvG matches with everyone who might be troublesome (if there's a better/more team-legit red Sheik than Christmas Sheik, PLEASE let me know. Especially if the spiderman one is all sorted out and looks great, which may well be possible - dunno at the moment). <EDIT: That "Successor Sheena" one looks pretty good from the screens, and is the right color. Anyone tried it out?>

Also, I included in the pack Fierce Deity Sheik/Zelda as extras. Try switching them with the current White Assassin/Shadow Queen lineup, and get back on which looks better. Personally I'm a fan of the Shadow Queen, but it makes Zelda's feet invisible and that might be a big no-no since her toes are such an important hitbox. Plus, it looks odd zoomed-in. Heh.

Anyhow, thanks for so much interest and sorry I've been so slow in finishing this off.

 

[Andarel]

Bump / Update:

- Blue Ganon recolored to be team-legit.
- Green MK replaced with Nebula MK.
- Blue MK replaced w/ Count Bleck.
- Ichigo (Free slot: Ike) replaced w/ Cloud
- Green Ike replaced with Nebula Ike
- Green Lantern (Green CF) replaced with green Master Chief
- Rosalina (Blue Peach) replaced with...better Rosalina
- Princess Shroob (Free Slot: Peach) replaced w/ Biker Daisy
- Blood Suit (Free Slot: ZSS) replaced with Ashei
- Master Chief (Green Samus) replaced with Nebula Samus
- Dark Bowser (Free Slot) replaced with Dry Bowser
- Saint Marth (Free Slot) replaced with Aeon
- Deciding on Pit textures
- Red Sheik replaced with Successor Sheena
- Shadow Queen (Free Slot: Zelda) replaced with Doctor


Almost all CSPs and BPs for things mentioned above have been rebuilt. Still making a few decisions and waiting for exams to finish, after that I can get all the work left for this thing done pretty quickly, hopefully.

 

[Jiiprah]

Ah beautiful!!! So glad you added Cloud Strife! Master Chief! Count Bleck!

 

[Andarel]

So, guys - anyone ever point out that school sucks sometimes?

School ends Thursday. When I get home I have my TV and the free time to do this stuff.

Official (or, rather, as official as I can get!) release coming soon. Couple of scattered changes floating around:

Marcus Phoenix possibly replaced with Black Knight.
Blazing Ike -> Travis Touchdown
I...forget the rest. Written down somewhere!

See you guys soon.

 

[san.]

Aww man, I missed out on you putting your new texture hacks on my wii, lol.

 

[Andarel]

...
Crap. Good point. Sorry 'bout that.

Well, I'll toss you a link to it when I get it all done. Mostly a matter of fixing poses, though there are a good number of new things to add.

Also, new Red Rose Zelda is win. No more forehead-o'-doom.

 

[Jiiprah]

oh can't wait!!!

 

[Andarel]

Okay, just finished snapping a lot of the CSP images. A rough changelist:


Cool Mario -> Mafio
GB Mario -> Green Knight

Biker Peach -> Shadow Queen (Revamp)

Gears of War Ganondorf -> Black Knight (Revamp)

Green Dedede -> Wart (Vertex)

Gutsman -> Red Tux DK
Green DK -> Green Tux DK

Blazing Ike -> Travis Touchdown
Chrono -> Chrono (Revamp)
Kamina -> Dawn Knight

Dark Bowser -> Dry Bowser (Vertex)

Friender -> Anubis Lucario

Shinigami Lucas -> Vivi

Nazo Koumori MK -> Darth Vader

TF2 Scout Ness -> Sackboy

Red and Black Climbers -> Autumn Climbers

Light Suit ZSS -> Gerudo ZSS

Zelda (Working on, still):

Shanoa -> Shanoa (hatless)
Farore -> Farore (Revamp)
Red Rose -> Red Rose (Revamp)
Midna -> Morrigan

what I'd like is:
Red Rose -> Lilith
Shanoa -> Shanoa
Farore -> Elegant Green

But idk if Lilith is possible...gotta talk to Ike Lawliet. Not answering PM ;_;

Pajamas TL -> Spirit Tracks Conductor
Henry Hatsworth -> Pinstripe Suit


Whatever Yoshis I think work well.

 

[F1SHY]

Really nice texture pack, everything seems to be working fine except for one thing. Which files are the CSPs? I copied all the folders from the pack to the SD card, but my old CSPs keep showing up.

EDIT: Nevermind, fixed it by taking off CSS.

 

[Jiiprah]

Can't wait for this to be finished
