Brawl Full PAC List (Menu2 Up)

[Morrigan]

Zelda's texture is driving me mad. I don't know where the HELL some of her jewelry is on the texture sheet.

See the dark dots? I erased them the same way I did with her shoulder pad things. Does it mean I can't get rid of them at all? Also, if you see carefuly there's a little triangle-like blue jewel, I don't even know where the heck that one is.

Help? ;_;

 

[illinialex24]

Yeah ASH doesn't work with effect files. You first need to run them through SSBExtract, then ASH them.

i know that a few stuff on characters requires actual hexing knowledge... but i'm not sure how much of some stuff...

Actual nothing anymore requires hexing knowledge thanks to SSBInsert

 

[meleemaster500]

where do you get ssbinsert?

Make an account, go here. You want version .2 atm

 

[Sukai]

SSBBExtract, I think I have that, I hope I do, but where would you store the effects, in the respective character folder?

Yes. And you should have SSBExtract. Each one goes into the fighter/character folder.

 

[Sukai]

Alright, I've concluded that Fit*character*Motion is useless for now, the actual effects are in Fit*character*.pac, knowing that sooner would have saved me a lot of hours of thinking and trial and error.
However, after finishing and putting the texture in, my game froze.

Suggestions?
Tutorials?

 

[Jeps]

Where do I put effect files? And what are the proper names for the stage builder parts?

 

[lordhelmet]

Thanks for putting more download links in! This guide is comming along nicely.
=P

Edit: I can't get the .pac converter to open =/ it opens for a split second then automatically closes itself.

 

[illinialex24]

What pac converter?? You mean ntcompress?? Theres a very very very simple process. its called drag and drop. Drag the file you want to be compressed onto ntcompress.

Don't forget about that now....

Meh it works either way

for those without apps (though i havn't used it for anything before...)

I'm starting to think that the character effects do not work with the file replacement code, but rather, you'd have to burn a disc to use them.
I may be wrong, but still.

 

[Clever_Sleazoid]

Is there any way to get a PCS file from a PAC?

 

[Sukai]

Nnnnno, because pcs' only exist where they are supposed to, they aren't needed anywhere else.
However, if you have the proper pac file, you can ash it and run step 2 create, they make both pcs' and pacs.

Your wrong, they work. I use red Marth and Roy slashes, and I have awesome Toon Link weapons.

Drag the file into ntcompress.exe

Theres a simpler way but you only need it for characters.

 

[meleemaster500]

i wonder... do the comicbook-like explosions used for many general effects in the game, which kinda look like this:

have a texture, say in the effects files?

 

[illinialex24]

No they don't. They are likely somewhere else. Someone named Vile was working on a gore patch for that.

 

[meleemaster500]

well if a texture for the explosions exists, then i'll be making:

sprites

Is it supposed to give me a bin file the same size as the pac?

 

[illinialex24]

No it isn't, thats why you should learn DOS mode. Anyway, do the following:

Start, run.

Now, find the folder you are currently in and copy its entire directory. For example, mine is:

C:\Documents and Settings\Richard\Desktop\Alex\ash_v23

Now, then type the following into CMD:

cd Directory

For example, mine would be:
cd C:\Documents and Settings\Richard\Desktop\Alex\ash_v23

This brings you into the folder you want.

Now, copy and paste this code edited so it works for your files.

ntcompress -l -o [Outputted File] -A4 [Inputted File]

For my example, if I wanted to edit Purin02.pac to Purin02.pcs, I would do this:

ntcompress -l -o FitPurin02.pcs -A4 FitPurin02.pac

That should work.

i edited an assist trophy file, and ran step 2 giving me a .pac and a .pcs file. running the .pac file in the game (with the correct file name) froze upon loading the assist trophy.

my problem is, i think that the pac file needs to go through a process to become the AsfLittlemacBrres.pac file. is there any program that converts this or what?

I don't think it needs to be expanded, its likely glitched but if you do need to expand it listen to the following:

Lz777ex.exe and ntcompress.exe are inverse processes.


lz77ex.exe expands files, IE, turned a .pcs into a .pac

Ntcompress does the opposite, it compresses files, IE, turns a .pac into a .pcs.

So try lz77ex.exe, if it doesn't work, try to .pcs and rename it to .pac. If not, your textures glitched boy.

I have no idea how to even run on vista XD. And the rest of the stuff makes no sense to me either >_>...
Maybe I should just give up.

 

[meleemaster500]

hmm.... its not working...

it was a modified little mac texture i was working with, a +2 file was it's only data. i changed some stuff around, changed the index to palleted, 256 colors. i ran step 2, it said "do you want to add the file, make sure the pallet has up to 256 colors" and i said yes, like normal. it gives me .pac and .pcs files. i renamed the pac file to the right name, put it in the right directory, and when i'm trying to get a little mac assist trophy in game, the game freezes. i then tried changing the pcs to pac, and it did the same thing...
there doesn't seem to be anything different with the texture, especially since it was compiled without error.........

Look it up, its not hard.... Try finding cmd.exe

It should be in C:/Windows/System32

That isn't the only indication of a glitched texture. Sometimes it compiles fine but doesnt work well.

thanks to roymaster4, we have a download link to the assist trophy pac files.


enjoy

Sounds cool, I'll credit him in the OP.

 

[jahkzheng]

Hey, If anyone is successfully downloading the character models, please say so. My torrent client (utorrent) can't seem to find any seeders. TPB says that the torrent has 3 seeders, but I got nothing. Maybe if we comment on if we're downloading this torrent (or trying) the seeder count will increase? In any case, I'll continue troubleshooting to see if its a problem with my client.

Oh, btw, thanks Meow Mix and Roymaster. Having these files separated for individual downloads is incredibly helpful.

Can i suggest to add th Kirby Hats?

Sorry I can't help you with this. I know where to find it but unfortunately, it is illegal to obtain. This link is your friend:
