BrawlBox Q&A and Help Thread

2. You have to use the modded psa that dantarion made. I don't have a link for it right now, but I'm sure someone else does. If no one has a link to it when I wake up, I'll get a link for it.

wtf double post O.o

smashboards, why do you do this to me? D:

 

[humble]

Thanks for the help toaster!

I have a new question-

In Brawlbox, I made an animation where my character (ivysaur) moved forward to attack. The attack works fine, however afterwards the character teleports back to where they started; how can I make them stay where they were when the attack ended?

What I did was stretch the TransN bone forward during the animation, but they always snap back to the start of it. How do I prevent this?

Thanks to anyone who can help, I'm pretty confused.

Wii freezes at the SSS menu

My wii keeps freezing at the SSS menu and I have no idea why it is. Its never done this before with any of my hacks. I have the codes for music, textures. and the alternate file loader. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Segtendo]

If it freezes at the SSS, your sc_selmap is too big. It's very picky about filesize.

 

[Snoopy]

that requires a little PSA editing. in PSA, go to the animation you made, click Animation Flags and check Moves Character. it should work then.

 

[Xiao-Xiao]

Yeah but I don't have any sc_selmap on thats the problem. It freezes with or without a selmap texture on. My SD card is almost full to capacity though with hacks. Does that affect anything?

Ever since I updated my drivers, Brawl Box ceased to work. It now gives me a "Memory is corrupt" error, followed by a "Value cannot be null" error, every time I preview a model now. Any ideas?

 

[Mr.Chuy]

Tell me what you've done to try and fix the problem and i'll see if it was a response i was going to give you

How do I move vertex points in Anim8or?

Okay, so I have tried to edit vertex points from brawl vertexes, but I cant move them at all in Anim8or. How do I move the vertex points that are a part of a brawl model, I used DanDonkey Vertex Box to get the vertexes from a model part of the brawl model Ness.

 

[Segtendo]

I have this problem, but in Blender.

 

[DevilKiller]

Does anyone know how to edit mirrored textures without the results being mirrored?

You select the vertex point or a group of vertex points and move them with the arrow keys. <_<

 

[Mr.Chuy]

Sorry but it's not possible right now

 

[theUndead_feature]

In doing more digging i still can't get the 64x64 icons to work and i cannot successfully make my own. any help here?

 

[Fire!]

OK so basically, what I'm trying to find is a program that allows me to view character and stage textures without having to start up Brawl. I've tried BrawlBox, but I just keep finding texture parts and not the full image. Could someone link me to a program that does or show me how to view them in BrawlBox?

Also, could someone explain ImportTextures and ImportModelTextures?


Sorry, I've been away from the hacking community for the last few months.

 

[KilroyWO]

Hey, near-total noob to BrawlBox. I've been trying to avoid asking this for the sake of doing it myself, but I couldn't find anything on the boards about this specific issue yet.

Could anyone tell me how to delete (or swap, if that isn't possible) certain Assist Trophies? I'm just getting sick and tired of the Nintendog, Mr. Resetti and a couple other patently annoying characters.

 

[Zeroxius]

Ignore this post please. I figured it out!

 

[snow-wolf]

Now that I knew how to edit them, I edited Lucas just a little bit, and it corrupted, why did this happend?

Ive been trying to Port Link over Pokemon Trainer but it keeps freezing. Link has more bones though, why does he keep freezing?

[HELP] Pokemon Trainer model swap

I tried porting Link over POkemon Trainer and it froze. Link has more bones than PT but it still froze, his animations worked perfectly with his link but it still froze, why? And can someone help with this problem?

 

[ChibiIceClimberz]

Now that I knew how to edit them, I edited Lucas just a little bit, and it corrupted, why did this happend?

That's a common problem with Anim8or. I don't really know how people successfully made a vertex in Blender even though it always comes out like that when I try to edit it. >_> The only way to even edit vertices in Blender is to save it as .obj in Anim8or so Blender can read it, but then again, it always comes out like that stretched in the model.

Exporting a single model from a Miscdata[2]?

Hello, I've been looking for Drifloon's model in STGSTADIUM_en.PAC, and I seem to have found it in a file called Miscdata[2].

My problem is that, while I can preview this Miscdata[2] and find Drifloon's model in it; I can't seem to export this model, which is called StgStadiumFuwante.

If anyone help, please reply to the topic!
Thanks in advance.

-Hyperpulse

 

[Mr.Chuy]

Misc Data 2 is the collision data for the stage
To find the model you'll have to look in the modeldatas of the file

editing character battle portraits

All I found was this:

Q: How do I change the character portraits? (CSS, CSP, CBP, etc)

A: Battle Portrait= info -> portrite -> InfFace###.brres _> InfFace.###

What exactly does that mean?

[Mr.Chuy]

1.Go here and following the directories you mentioned you'll find the original BPs which you can edit

2.I know it sounds vague but it tells you where to find the BPs in the mediafire archive of the iso (whihc i linked you to) and where they go on the SD Card

Thank you.

Slight model replacement problem

Okay, I've recently put Cubone over Pikachu via model replaement, all the textures are there, and he has never crashed the game.

However, he is not animated yet; this is what I'm having trouble with.
I want him to use Pikachu's animations, and since he is over Pikashu, this is what I expected.

Alas, he just sits there T-Posed... I can still move him around though.
I'm not completely sure, but I think the problem with the animations is that Cubone's bones aren't named in the way specified in the FitPikachuMotionEtc.pac, while Pikachu's bones are.

What I need to know is a quick way to re-name the bones in the correct way so that he will animate properly.

If anyone thinks they can help, please leave a reply; thanks in advance.

Hey simple question:

When I change the name of the song through brawl box, why do I have to edit both the mu_menumain.pac and the info.pac? Does one control the name of the song that pops up while playing while the other one controls the name of the song when you check it through the music selection on the options screen?

Just rename bones that are the closest to Pikachu's

Correct!
Info.pac controls music when playing in-game while mu_menumain.pac controls the names at the my music screen

Okay. New problem. I have been trying to do animation swaps (pretty successfully for the most part), but after fixing the bone translations on a certain animation in the General Movements category (Wait1 - Rebound), it suddenly gave me an error.

I was working on the swaps from a .brres Resource Pack that is separate from Falco's FitMotion.pac. I dunno what caused this error, and I would really like to know.

On another note, what do CLR0's dictate in a .pac?

 

[SonicTheHedgehog02]

I am working on porting Luigi over Wolf and the textures arnt correct. the ONLY problem is his eyes are closed and his hair shows. Anyone know how to fix that?

 

[Segtendo]

The polygons that show up are part of PSA.

 

[SonicTheHedgehog02]

How do I change it?

 

[JoeGrandma]

You don't really, it's pretty automatic.

It's like other people's faces or whatever. They have all sorts of textures for the eyes and stuff, but their eyes are always closed in Brawlbox. PSA uses the Model Changer code to switch between different sets of eyes when you get hit or you're just waiting there.

 

[shadow040]

Hey there, I'm new to the hacking front, messing around with textures and codes and such for a couple of months and now I've finally decided to start up a PSA project. Only thing is I'm having some animation trouble involving brawlbox and what actually appears in brawl.
I'll get to the point: I'm making some custom animations for Ganondorf but when I put in brawl he's not doing exactly what I animated on brawlbox.
Here's what I want him to do:

Here it is in brawl:

I imported his win3 animation and just changed how he had his legs positioned, it seems that everything I didn't edit came out fine.
Is this a common problem? I can provide my motion pac if anyone wants a better look at it.

 

[EarthboundD]

Hello, I'm having major problems in creating loops for brstm files in brawl box. The problem I am having is not being able to accurately choose the loop times.

I am using a program called MP3DirectCut to find the perfect beginning and end point to a loop, for example the Katamari song Houston has a great loop between 59.532 and 3.12.050.

So when I go into brawlbox to create a brstm file with a loop at these two locations, I cannot pinpoint them because when I move my mouse a pixel while clicked on the slider, the time will go up from 55.01 to 55.90. It may not seem like much, but it destroys the continuity of the loop.

I see that there are these large numbers which are deadly accurate in changing the looping points, but I have no idea what they equate to concerning numbers like 59.532

If anyone could tell me the ratio of those large numbers to actual time, that would be super.

 

[Mr.Chuy]

When you find your loop points in the program you're using try switching the time format to samples and copy the numbers
Hope this helps
