Any Length Song Title Tool 1.2 [Fixed Download]

[Dantarion]

Tomoyasu Hotei - Battle Without Honor Or Humanity

My longest title.

 

[Isatis]

Vampire Weekend - The Kids Don't Stand A Chance (Chromeo Remix)

 

[MK26]

im not gonna bother typing out my longest title, but i remember counting it to be 84 characters

 

[Alphatron]

Alright, so I'm using this now with notepad. Now I just need a list of the names for the ingame NTSC-U song titles so I can ctrl+F them and replace them.

The word "overworld" isn't found in the songs.db. ;_;

 

[sinistersnakesennin]

So far, the only way to edit a title in Menu_en.pac is to decompress it, edit it in a hex editor and then re-compress it? We cannot change the length of those titles yet, correct?

Edit: Longest song title= "I Tamper With Evidence At The Murder Site Of Odin"

 

[Dantarion]

sinister, the file name you are talking about is menu2/mu_menumain.pac. Right now the way you mentioned is the only way, but its the same format as info.pac, I already made a mod of ALSTT that can handle this file.

Also, anyone using the hexing method for now, the file is loaded from pfmenu2/mu_menumain.pac due to a bug in the FPC.

[sinistersnakesennin]

Ah, yes. Thank you for the clarification. I've just gotten so used to shortening the name if the file, most people in the know have an idea what I mean.

I assume the reason you've yet to release an update to your ALSTT is bug testing?

 

[Dantarion]

No, its just lazyness.
I have too many apps that need updating, and I'm working on Brawl+, and I have real life johns, like school, work, gf, etc.

 

[sinistersnakesennin]

*nods* I feel ya.
I slept around 11 hours today, but that's only cause I was working for three days straight, with about a total of 5 hours of sleep throughout.

 

[momochuu]

Hey uhh...do the custom song titles work on wifi? ><

 

[Dantarion]

Yep, and they don't cause crashes for either person.

 

[Alphatron]

With the advent of brawlbox and you already being busy, I don't expect to see this anytime soon. But the upgrade to this that can edit the text in the My Music menu, is it stable?

 

[darksamus77]

I don't believe this got answered earlier, but my app only stays open for a split second, displays a bit of text but immediately closes. I've also gotten it to where it displays for 30 seconds with a blank screen, but then does the same thing. I opened songs.db in notepad ++, then changed the titles to match my custom songs, but the app has never worked for me. Help, please?!

 

[luigiman1928]

did it make a info.pac? If not theres something wrong with your Song.db. Trying adding a bunch of random songs inside the Dantarions song maker. Change the names for the songs on the SD card, and export it. That's what i do.


And my longest song is: THrough the Fire and the Flames - Dragon Force

 

[Dantarion]

BTW Guys, you can open song.db in notepad++, and copy/paste it into BrawlBox's msbin editor and have custom titles that way. Yeah, thats right, BrawlBox can now do what this program does :D

 

[luigiman1928]

It can also edit Mu_Mainmenu.pac! itz coolz.

 

[darksamus77]

Would you mind telling me how to get BrawlBox?

I made it, saved it in Notepad ++, then tried the app and it didn't work at all. I know length isn't the problem...any chance I could get a quick answer on this (as in, within the next hour or two)?
I know I have Phantom Wings 3.5.1, as that was required for the initial music hacks, and the music plays fine.

 

[sinistersnakesennin]

Or edit song titles on at a time? /hopeful

 

[Dantarion]

Obviously you haven't even TRIED opening the .pacs in brawlbox, you would see that you can do it manually easy now.

 

[Oni K4ge]

^^wait, so we dont need the tool anymore? cool

 

[sinistersnakesennin]

I would like to remind everybody who attempts to edit mu_menumain.pac's music list manually to remember to compress Brawlbox's saved file afterward, as it seems to leave it uncompressed after saving. The script for compression is as follows:

ntcompress -l -o <output file> -A4 <input file> (without the <>)

I suggest hitting Shift-RightMouseButton to open a command box in your current working window.

I couldn't figure out the songs.db approach, so I simply opened up info.pac in a seperate Brawlbox window and copy/pasted the titles one at a time. Not more than 5 minutes worth of work.
For those of you who want custom music names in my music, you have to place mu_menumain.pac in:

app/RSBE/pfmenu2

 

[Oni K4ge]

wait, so is it more stable with the ALSTT or brawlbox?

 

[Alphatron]

Copying the title one by one isn't even necessary. Just export the msbin file from your edited info.pac into mu_menumain. That's what my friend did and it works like a charm for him.

 

[Oni K4ge]

if the mu_menu.pac thing loads from pfmenu2, then does that mean I have:

pf/pfmenu2

or

pf/menu2

or do I rename my original pf folder to pfmenu2?

 

[tsunami70875]

i'm thinking that the poster forgot a slash, and it's just pf/menu2

 

[Oni K4ge]

i'm thinking that the poster forgot a slash, and it's just pf/menu2

oh okay, thanks. Though I could have sworn I'd seen someone else also say it was pfmenu2... well I don't know. But I guess I'll have to try both...

 

[MK26]

no, its just rsbe/pfmenu2, due to a slight bug in the file patch code

 

[Oni K4ge]

no, its just rsbe/pfmenu2, due to a slight bug in the file patch code

oh... I see. This would go NEXT TO the "pf" folder, right? not in it, but in the same directory as it is?

 

[Alphatron]

It goes in RSBE.

So...I edited the info.pac in BrawlBox and renamed everything correctly, saved it, made sure it saved the changes by reopening it, and then put it in info2 in the correct spot. Where did you guys get the mu_menumain.pac from? It wasn't in the ALSTT, unless that was the editmeinfo.pac, or whatever it was called...

 

[Olimario1892]

Whenever I edit the info.pac or mu_menumain.pac and put them on my SD card my wii always freezes after the loading symbol. Me no likey the loud BBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZPPPPPP noise. I'm pretty sure I put them in the right folder.

private/wii/APP/RSBE/pf/info2/info.pac
private/wii/APP/RSBE/pfmenu2/mu_menumain.pac

 

[Dantarion]

youre probably editing them wrong or have a weird songs.db.

Use BrawlBox to edit info.pac and mu_menumain.pac from now on, its easier.

 

[Oni K4ge]

It goes in RSBE.

Okay, THANK YOU.

youre probably editing them wrong or have a weird songs.db.

so the tool is basically obsolete now, huh? Well, it accomplished what it had to...

I got mine from the online data base of brawl files.

Actually I do use BrawlBox. I edited the info.pac and saved it. I also exported the msbin with the song titles in it (miscdata[140])and opened the mu_menumain.pac in BrawlBox and replaced miscdata[7] with miscdata[140]. When i saved it it compressed and i took out the _en and i put the mu_menumain.pac in pfmenu2.

Can anybody whose gotten this to work tell me how they did it, its driving me insane
Thanks

 

[Alphatron]

If you're using "Save As", save it as a pcs file or else brawlbox will uncompress it and it will be too big.

Besides, this program supplied us with Any Length titles, didn't it? Brawlbox supports any length titles as well without the file size increase?

 

[Olimario1892]

If you're using "Save As", save it as a pcs file or else brawlbox will uncompress it and it will be too big.

Well I did that, and I made sure it was compressed, and when I started up the game it didn't freeze, but no music titles were changed in My Music or at the beginning of a match...

 

[okamifire]

Just a random question, is it okay to save the file as a .pcs? Will the Phantom Wings file loader read that and not get mad?

Yeah, I get the same buzzing noise as you Olimario. Try compressing the actual saved .pac file because my guess is that your .pac info is 1,240KB or so, right? It has to be like 390KB. And yes, when you save it as a .pcs it doesn't seem to do anything in terms of changing names at all. I'm going to try to compress mine now with ntcompress as someone mentioned that earlier in the thread.

EDIT : Help please >_> I can't seem to figure out how to use ntcompress, and saving the files as a .pac end up in a file that is much too large and freezes the Wii with a loud buzzing, saving it as a .pcs results in an unreadable file (thus changing nothing), and saving it as a .pcs and then renaming it .pac just freezes the Wii (but without the really loud buzzing). Any assistance?

 

[Olimario1892]

You mean the info.pac? Yeah it's 392 KB. If you meant the mu_menumain.pac it was 4.06 MB.
If it wouldn't be too much trouble could anyone who got this working post how they did it step by step? It would be appreciated for people like me who can't seem to get this right.

 

[Oni K4ge]

I get a blank screen after the strap loader when trying to load the mu_menu and info.pac...

info.pac is no pf/info2/info.pac

mu_menumain is in pf/pfmenu2/mu_menumain.pac

what happened?

I used Brawlbox, if it helps.
