Common3 and PAL - extracting files...

[Budget Player Cadet_]

A couple questions.

1. How the **** do you edit Common3? Is there a guide around here somewhere? OpenSA, or what?

2. Can PAL even patch Common3?

1. Brawlbox.
2. I'm almost certain yes. I'm pretty sure you can use US hacks of it too.

1. Since it seems like you want to edit item collisions, there is nothing for editing that yet, though I did try once and I didn't get very far. Your best bet is to see if a code can be made for that. Otherwise, you can edit textures of it through BrawlBox.

2. I'm almost positive the PAL version of the FRC can patch the Common3.

It's all hex. There are PSA events inside.

Where? I once extracted a few of the MiscData inside of it, but I couldn't find any PSA events. Chances are I extracted the wrong MiscData files.

Basically, my issue is, for Brawl- we need to hack things like turnips and grenades. The NTSC common3.pac makes the game freeze on the straploader, so I apparenly have to figure out either a PAL patch, a working NTSC patch on PAL, or a different code.

I open the thing in brawlbox; how do I screw with collisions, how do I even find what I'm looking for? I have no clue!

Ah. Thanks Dant! :D

Anyone know where to find a PAL common3.pac?

 

[Gardevior]

The only way I can think to do it (if Google doesn't pan out) is to dump your brawl disk via waninkoko's dumper and then extract the common3.pac with a program that can do that; I assume BrawlBox can?

BrawlBox can't extract from the ISO, you'll need to use WiiScrubber for that.

And for getting a PAL copy of the common3, either do the above, or if you don't have the right kind of disk drive for that then result to... pirating.

I can't use my disk drive. I mean, there's already a dump of the NTSC files; I know I saw a PAL dump somewhere, I just can't remember where.

I got the ISO. How the hell does wiiscrubber work.

I don't think we can talk about that here. Just Google it.

 

[Budget Player Cadet_]

Oic. I got it anyways.

Dant, I got the PAL character pacs, fighter.pac, and common3_en.pac. What else should I get?

 

[Dantarion]

modules...stages...idunno

It's ridiculously tedious to do this because I can't extract the whole **** thing (io_read errors cancel it out whenever I try to extract the whole partition)... what's important, is there an easier way than right-clicking each individual file, etc.

Also, Dant, the method you recommended of just replacing that whole ARC did not work; it caused the same straploader freeze that just putting the NTSC in there caused.
