Code Generator for Alternate Stage Loader v1.0

[luigiman1928]

Are you in the Twillight Zone? Cuz your update says its for last year.

 

[MagmarFire]

Once i put in * once im done with my code is it supposed to freeze?

What do you mean by "freeze"? Have you pressed ENTER a second time to see if it gets you out of there?

it doesnt even work i even put the code with the gct T_T

Have you tried recompiling the GCT to begin with? If by "putting the code with the GCT," you mean, "placing the text file next to the GCT on the SD card," that's not going to work. The code needs to be compiled just like all the other Brawl+ codes.

[luigiman1928]

Hey when i put in two stage for Final Destanation it doesnt work. i have two stages. Realm of Ness and A stage i made where fight on the Club Nintendo symbol. And i set one with combos so R and L on GC controller for it to load. and the other X and Y. Yet it only loads the Realm of Ness stage. Why?

 

[VirgoTheCougar]

So if you want to have it load multiple textures of the same stage, you name the files like: STGFINAL_A.pac, STGFINAL_B.pac, etc.?

And how do you have it so that it can load the default stage randomly with them, or is it automatic?

 

[luigiman1928]

It auto moves textures to the SD card and names them. So yeah its automatic

 

[gigasteve]

And gigasteve, I believe you are looking for brawlplus.net. Just go to the Downloads section, and there should be a "direct link to text" under the Near-Gold header.

I only saw the gct the first time I checked there. Feelin kinda dumb. =/

 

[MagmarFire]

And how do you have it so that it can load the default stage randomly with them, or is it automatic?

To have it so the default stage is set randomly with the others, simply type in some random .PAC name when prompted for a stage texture name. The program only moves textures to the SD card if it finds a .PAC with the exact-same name in the program's directory (except if you use the absolute directory, but I recommend moving the .PAC to the program's directory instead).

The way Dantarion's code works is that if you put in more random stage settings than you have actual stage textures on your SD card, then it'll potentially load the default stage from the disc. Like, if you have four random stages set, but you only have, like, STGFINAL_A through STGFINAL_C, and it can't find STGFINAL_D, if it tries to load STGFINAL_D, it won't find it, so it'll load STGFINAL from the game itself instead of the SD card.

And i set one with combos so R and L on GC controller for it to load. and the other X and Y. Yet it only loads the Realm of Ness stage. Why?

Assuming that you're inputting the buttons correctly upon selecting the stage on the SSS, I think it's possible that you're not typing in the name correctly when prompted for one. Does the program say, "Copying texture to the SD card..." after entering the name?

I only saw the gct the first time I checked there. Feelin kinda dumb. =/

I hate when stuff like that happens. XD

 

[Mr.Chuy]

Looks nice although i have no idea how to use this and a suggestion add wiimote support for controls or does it already have it in the program?

 

[MagmarFire]

The original Alternate Stage Loader topic has a button guide that tells you what buttons point to what. My program assumes that you use a GCN controller, but many of the buttons on the GCN controller tie in to the Wiimote.

For instance, if you wanted to activate a stage with the Wiimote's B-trigger, type in "lt" in the program when prompted for button combinations. As you can see on the list, the B-trigger uses the same hex code as the GCN controller's left trigger.

Use the original ASL topic button list for a guide when determining what buttons to input.

 

[Power Marshall]

Awesome program, MagmarFire. Got mii interested. Though I would like to use v1.0 and Filefactory does not work...
Would it be possible to upload V1.0 to MediaFire just like with v0.1?

EDIT: Just tried it once again and now it is corroborating. xD

 

[VirgoTheCougar]

I tried out the code and I got a code dump when trying to load the game.

All I did was put the ASL Data code from Dantarion's topic and the code generated from the program. Is there any specific way you need to name the multiple files?

 

[MagmarFire]

A code dump? Huh. And you compiled the .GCT? Did you put in the ASL Data driver code from the topic after the program generated all the code and closed?

As for the "multiple files," are you talking about the generated .DATs? No, you shouldn't even touch them unless you want to reset a stage's settings.

Oh, so things are working for you now? No bad glitches? Good. :D

 

[VirgoTheCougar]

Yeah. Also I put the code in with the most recent B+ code.

As for the "multiple files," are you talking about the generated .DATs? No, you shouldn't even touch them unless you want to reset a stage's settings.

I'm talking about if there's a specific way you need to name multiple stage pacs in your SD card.

Is it ok if I have one name the regular "STGFINAL" and another named "[Tabuu Corruption] STGFINAL"?

 

[MagmarFire]

Hmm... I wonder if the order you put the codes in the .GCT has anything to do with it. Do you have a copy of the generated code that I could look at?

As for the files, it does matter what they're named when they're on the SD card, but you don't have to worry about that part because the program moves the textures to the card and renames the files for you. You can name them whatever you want when they're in the program's directory, though, which is all that matters; it's the name of the texture in the directory that the program cares about.

Technically, you can move the files to the SD card with those names, but that will do you no good because the code recognizes the stage name followed by an underscore and a letter (e.g. STGFINAL_A). If the game can't find the properly-named files, it will load the default stage texture from the disc.

 

[VirgoTheCougar]

Hmm... I wonder if the order you put the codes in the .GCT has anything to do with it. Do you have a copy of the generated code that I could look at?

E0000000 80008000

...... I SWEAR I didn't notice that DED FADEDEAD there.

 

[MagmarFire]

Hmm, I think that one FADEDEAD line is the problem. It is supposed to be there, but it's supposed to be in its own line. It should probably be like this:

Alternate Stage Loader Data v1.1
46000010 00000000
44000000 005A7D00

00000DED FADEDEAD
E0000000 80008000

Try that. If that doesn't work, rerun the program and regenerate the code. Then copy and paste the generated code into Ocarina itself (or some other code manager you're using that compiles .GCTs).

 

[VirgoTheCougar]

I tried out a new one(I regenerated another code along with a few others), it loaded the game properly, but it now freezes when I select a stage.

 

[Dantarion]

That code you quoted isn't even a code, its just the data. Wheres the top lines?

 

[VirgoTheCougar]

That code you quoted isn't even a code, its just the data. Wheres the top lines?

Top lines? You mean the long code in your topic? You mean I'm supposed to COMBINE the data code with the regular code?

 

[Dantarion]

Maybe im just reading my own code wrong....

 

[MagmarFire]

Top lines? You mean the long code in your topic? You mean I'm supposed to COMBINE the data code with the regular code?

Not exactly. You just need to make sure both codes are in the same .GCT. I'm not sure if order is an issue, but just to be safe, put the "long one" before the generated one. Unless you already tried that. If that's the case, it would probably be wise to delete all the .DATs that the program generated to reset all your stage settings and start over.

 

[Cyan_Blau]

A good idea!

Now I'll be able to reorganize the stages, so that I can decide which nine extra stages are viewable on the select screen and which stages are loaded on the button command.

But is there the Online Training stage already in th SSS?

Because maybe someone want to play on it...


//AX

 

[MagmarFire]

The Wi-Fi Waiting Room is on the SSS, but it replaces Rumble Falls.

 

[It's a forum]

I found a glitch. I'm running Notepad on Windows XP.

The data it generates seems to have a spacing problem, not noticeable at first but after playing with word wrap I exposed it.

I thought something was fishy when the data was split when I tried importing it into my code manager...

I just manually counted by 8 for the last 4 lines. The rest of the data was cool.

Yeah I tried that, though I use Brawl Plus Tweaker to make the GCT, but the long code is always in it's own folder and I add the data code after it. Or are the two codes supposed to be in the same notepad with the long code first?

A-ha! You're right! Good catch! I will look into it immediately.

EDIT: I'm not sure if the changes to my code have done anything, but apparently, it helps if you copy and paste the code into another Notepad file after it's generated. It's weird and unwieldy, I know, but from what I see, it prevents word wrap from screwing it all up. This may just be a problem with Notepad (and Wordpad, for that matter), because the code shows up just fine in Microsoft Word.

I have never used Brawl+ Tweaker, but I would try doing the latter, with putting them in the same .txt file.

 

[VirgoTheCougar]

ALRIGHT! That did it! Hoozah! Thanks a bunch! *gives 50 E-hugs*

Though one more thing, do you only need to use only one of the codes generated or is each one required for each set of stages?

 

[MagmarFire]

Excellent! Glad to hear it works!

And every time you change your stage settings, like adding more stage textures, you need new code. Unfortunately, that does mean you have to recompile your .GCT each time in order for the new settings to take effect.

 

[VirgoTheCougar]

Well what'dya know, my code's not working again. I have 7 different ASL codes, all on the same notepad file, no spaced lines, no word wrap warping the code, in fact, two somehow still work, while the rest are all duds. I don't understand how it happened because they were all working fine before. I recompiled the code several times, deleted the left over code from previous uses, everything, yet they still don't work anymore.

It may be because of having too many codes at once, but that doesn't explain why two still work fine.

It was just right after making code for one last stage that the majority started to not work. It must be something that happened recently since all but the two that still worked were recompiled several times recently.

I haven't gotten the chance to try them out separately since it's late.
EDIT: Just tried them out alone and they work fine. I don't get what's wrong.

in short: HALP!

 

[Andydark]

Pardon my idiocy, but this should allow me to, for instance, have Final Destination be replaced by

Falcon's Realm, Ridley's Flight, and some more generic texture hack of FD, right?

When I type the name of one texture, it says "Copying to SD card... Finished!"

But for all after that (for that stage) it says no such thing.

And it only generates one line of code, is this going how it should be going?

Show me the code that you have generated thus far, as well as a complete list of all the files in your SD card's stage\melee folder.

You are correct (for the first sentence).

There are two things you can try: (1) rename the files you want copied to something simpler (e.g. something without spaces or punctuation) and try again, or (2) retype the name upon prompting. I'm not sure why, but the program has a tendency to require double input, so it may just be ignoring the first time you put in a name.

[DevilKiller]

Heh, I used this program and ran into a funny problem. If you feel like an idiot for doing this, that's because you are.

If your SD card is locked (the little slide on the side), the program will continue on and generate a text file for use. But nothing will appear on your SD card. DUH.

EDIT:

I took a quick peek at VirgotheCouger's codes.

*SHOT

Should they even all be seperate codes like that? In the ASL Code Generator, it asks you if you want to add replacements for different stages. The end result should be one giant, data code. It'll save a lot of lines on your GCT too.

Here's my example if you feel like comparing stuff. This has one Battlefield texture, two Final Destination textures, two Bridge of Eldin textures, and one Pokemon Stadium 2 texture. I use either a Left Z or Right Z trigger on the Classic Controller for each stage.

That's my two cents.

 

[MagmarFire]

Well, Virgo, I might not know the exact problem, but if the Mario Kart stage isn't working for you, I might know why: As well as the Kart stage information that you need, you have info for Final Destination, Delfino Plaza, and the Halberd. How did those extra lines get there? I imagine this may be the problem for the other stages, too.

The way that it should be is that in the info part of the code, the line for the stage you want to hack should be above all lines that contain button combination code--in other words, the stage hex and the number of lines/buttons line should be above all lines that describe textures. Like so:

STAGEHEX BBRR0000 // "BB" = buttons; "RR" = random
XXXX00AL 00000000 // "XXXX" = combination hex; "AL" = alphabet hex number for a particular texture

If you have multiple textures for a stage, the second line type, the "XXXX" one, needs to be there multiple times. If that line type's anywhere else, the game will probably assume that that line is for the stage hex line right above it, and if a valid one isn't above it, it won't work.

You're not deleting the .DATs or combining them yourself, are you?

 

[VirgoTheCougar]

You're not deleting the .DATs or combining them yourself, are you?

..... yes.

As for the rest:

Though I have noticed that the codes change lengths most times I recompile them.

 

[MagmarFire]

Yeah...you're not supposed to do that. XD The program takes all the data from the .DATs and puts them together into a .txt file for you.

Also, every time you add a stage or whatever, the length of the overall code is going to increase.

(GAH! Never! Get! Comcast! It has to be the most unreliable ISP I've ever had! DX ...That's my excuse for my late reply. XD )

(GAH! Never! Get! Comcast! It has to be the most unreliable ISP I've ever had! DX ...That's my excuse for my late reply. XD )

But shouldn't that not prevent the code from working at all if you compile each one from scratch anyway?

 

[MagmarFire]

Not sure I get what you mean. If you want to add a new stage texture to a particular stage, you don't need to start from scratch. You only need to start from scratch if you reach the stage limit or mess up stage input in some way, or if you just want to start over.

So...I added three textures for Online Training to appear randomly.

It generated...

[Toony]

"All you need to do is copy and paste the contents into a text file with all the other Brawl+ codes (as well as the Alternate Stage Loader driver itself) "

^ Hey when you put that in your alternate stage loader thread, do you mean just copy + paste the code onto the GCT, and then here's where I get confused, what do you mean by the Alternative Stage Loader drive itself?

What is that ^, and how do I put it in?

Thanks a ton to anyone that answers!
