BrawlBox Q&A and Help Thread

[jackharvest]

Can I get some proper credit for designing the now-official brawlbox icon? It's been sitting over in our resources page at Kitty Corp Meow Mix for ages.

Ok so im trying to make a BRTSM file and when I load it up using brawlbox, the time just says 0:00:00/0:00:00 and when I click play i just get this beep noise. Anyone know how to fix this issue?

Anyone know how to make Randoms in PSA?

I'm pretty sure this means there is something wrong with the wav file you are using.

What is the problem with the .dae files that BrawlBox exports? I seem to be unable to import them into Blender (either the old 2.49, or the newer 2.6x versions; they just throw errors), or view them in Noesis (no crash, but just a blank view).

I've looked into the files themselves, and they appear to be complete, so what do I need to do to open them?

I'm New to brawlbox so i started out slow by editing the easy animations. EX: the wait animation. Once i finish editing and press save, it saves everything works. When I reload it it works as well. However, when i put the fitmotionetc into the containing folder and run it on my wii, it won't work. The character im editing is zero suit samus. I'd save it as FitSZerosuitMotionEtc.pac on my sd card in the fighter folder in the szerosuit folder. It just won't work. But when i use other people's animation or PSA hacks, those work. HALP HALP i am in need of HALP!

 

[Gohario]

The Riivolution i Use is V1.04. I'm not sure if that affects anything.... Until I get an answer, I can't use any animations that i make

 

[Deleted member]

Hi Gohario, could you please send me the FitSZerosuitMotionEtc.pac? Then I could tell you whats wrong. In the meantime make sure your placing it in:

(private should be in the root of your SD)

private > wii > app > RSBE > pf > fighter > szerosuit

Ok thanks. How should I send it to you? Smashboards doesn't allow .pac

 

[Deleted member]

send me a hotmail at pokemonsdud386@hotmail.com possibly in a zip...if you know how to do that. Use 7-Zip.

 

[Gohario]

alright... I'll send it in a zip.

Okay so I looked through it and it works fine. Your problem is that you did not update your common.pac file with the new motions.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/p01chjw1j1k4zuz/itt40_SD4S/system/common_en.pac

Once you do this, open the common_en.pac with brawlbox, REPLACE your motionect file with zero suits. Proceed to save it.

Finally what you do is place that in the private\wii\app\RSBE\pf\system then rename the file and remove the _en so it just says common.pac



hope this helps, happy brawling.

THANKS! This helps so much. Now I can finally try making that luigi idea i had. :D Sorry if I was a burden, like i said im a noob at this cuz im a beginner.

 

[Deleted member]

Did it work 100%? And no problem.

 

[Gohario]

Im going to try tomorrow.. I didn't have time today >.<

 

[Gohario]

I'm a riivolution user so that's probably why it didn't work. I tried with gecko but that didn't work either. It probably didn't work with gecko because i have sd card adapter instead of a normal sd card.

 

[Gohario]

If your a gecko user only then that's ok. I'm a riivolution user so.... yeah. Thanks for trying to help though. :D

 

[Gohario]

It still isn't solved D: So anyone who might know the answer please help meh.

 

[EvaXephon]

I'm a complete newbie to BrawlBox, so please forgive this question, but...

Is it possible to export animations from BrawlBox? Can I use BrawlBox to create a file that 3D Studio Max or Maya can read?

Like, let's say I want to open up Marth's forward smash in Maya. Can I use BrawlBox to produce a file that Maya can read, like an .FBX for example?

If it's not possible with BrawlBox, are there any other tools out there that can export Brawl animations? (Or even Melee animations, for that matter?)

Anyone found anything yet?

 

[NoDes]

i need the character pacs. where can i get them?

 

[PseudoTypical]

Whenever I try to save a .pac or .pcs as a .pair, BrawlBox gets an error message that says, "unable to open file for write access". How do I fix this?

 

[NoDes]

this simply means that nothing has been changed in the pac file.

 

[PseudoTypical]

this simply means that nothing has been changed in the pac file.

Oh. haha That would explain why the .pcs showed up still. Thanks!

 

[Lakitwo]

I have a question about stage animations.

I want a model in the background of my stage to start out transparent, and then fade in like the stage parts in Rainbow Cruise. Using a VIS0 animation, I can get it to "pop" in, but it doesn't fade in. Anyone have any idea of how I would go about doing this?

EDIT: Found the answer elsewhere.

 

[Kati]

edit:

Does anyone know of a tutorial for stage lighting? I tried teaching myself years ago by adjusting values and seeing how they turn out in game, but this sometimes caused the game to freeze, so I'd rather not learn it on my own again.

 

[LiteralGrill]

Alright, question from me.

I'm want to make a similar diagram for every stage in Brawl.

I've read that you can use BrawlBox to get the locations of the vertexes, camera zone, and blast lines for a stage, how do you go about doing this so I can do the rest of the math for the stage?

Edit: I found this info in this thread.

 

[Viceversa96]

Can Brawl box edit character stats? Like their stats in SSE or air speeds?

 

[Foxfan12]

Can Brawl box edit character stats? Like their stats in SSE or air speeds?

I believe that v 0.67b can, if you open up FitCharacter.pac and expand the second subfolder in the first Arc folder there should be an Attributes Table that you can edit. Although, I've found Brawlbox to be a pain in editing these kinds of values because of odd memory glitches that reduce filesize with every consecutive save resulting in much freezing if you save the same file more than once. You're really better off editing this in PSA. As for character specific attributes - e.g. things that not everyone has data for (number of frames to Peach's Float, the angle of Diddy's Banana Pull, et cetera.) You should use the Floating Point Editor.


Edit:

While I'm here, I've had it before where Brawlbox 0.67b can go into common3, export raw animParam and subParam for say the Cracker Launcher shot and import it over the animParam and subParam raw data of some other kind of ammunition. But now when I do it, the import gives me an insanely large (negative) number for some of the values, and if I try to save it I get "object reference not set to instance of object" and it fails to save. I've fixed this before by re-installing brawlbox. But I've even gone so far as to delete Brawlbox registry keys, delete every instance of Brawlbox I can find and restart it and I still get this error now.

 

[Giygacoal]

Is there a fast way to delete key frames associated with the same bone? According to the help in 0.69, there's supposed to be a Ctrl+Backspace shortcut, but it isn't working for me.

 

[otheusrex]

I recently learned how to animate colors on Final Destination using the AnmCLR entries. My question is how do you make materials that don't normally respond to AnmCLR entries do so? Specifically, someone asked me to make falcon punch rainbow colored.

I understand that the model in the fitcaptain.pac for falcon punch has a fire texture that's wrapped around the model, and that I can export and edit that texture in a photo-editing program, but I don't like the results of that, and I'd prefer to learn how to make the texture or material? respond to color changes in the AnmCLR data.

 

[JbBlaznnn]

How does one change the result screen? I'm stuck with the default cloud result screen from the original game.

 

[CalvinWars]

Where are the images for the Random Stage Select Screen located in Brawlbox? What file are they in?

 

[Tiberious]

So, I'm trying to look into the shaders in BrawlBox, and figure out why some textures appear much brighter in the game than they do in the texture viewer, and I'm getting rather stumped, leading to several questions:

1) First off, how do the individual stages work? Do they add to each other, or is something else happening instead?

2) (d + ((1 - c) * a + c * b) + 0) * 4, clamped from 0 - 255
This is obviously a formula, but does each channel (Red, Green, Blue, Alpha) get run though separately?

3) And what do some of the constants mean? Some are obvious, but the ones that aren't are:

RasterColor
KonstantColorSelection
Color2

How would I make sense of these for figuring out the end result of all the math?

I replaced the "InfRdyGo2" texture with an edited version of my own located in "Misc [40]" in info.pac. The problem is that the black outline of the original "Go!" still shows ups and I want to remove it but I don't know how. Help?

 

[SmashBroski]

I have a question regarding stage hazards.

Is BrawlBox a program you can use to disable them? I'm using Brawl Minus's Spear Pillar as a base and I would like to freeze the legendary Pokemon in place so they don't produce hazards. Is that possible?

Could I also edit a stage to have the Pokemon appear a few seconds into the match (like in vBrawl) and then freeze them in place?

 

[Tech]

I'm new to this. can anyone tell me how do do recolors on things like PAC files? Like Falcos lasers, or Meta knights tornadoes? Just things of that nature. I don't know which files contain what, or what exactly needs to be edited. So if anyone could give me a quick rundown maybe, or point me in the direction where these questions are answered, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

 

[Shadow the Past]

Hopefully a simple question, which palette changes the color of the hand you control on the character select screen (assuming there is a palette)? I know the hand texture (which determines the shading of the hand's color) is under MiscData[30] -> Textures[NW4R], and I assume Palettes[NW4R] holds the appropriate palette, I just can't tell which one it is. If I don't get an answer I'll probably just go through go through them one by one myself, haha.

 

[kobiyashi]

I regularly get the error "object reference not set to an instance of an object" when attempting to use Optimize Meshes. Can I avoid this? What's causing it in the first place?
