CSP Nametag editing.

[A17]

I don'tk know what the majority of the SWF cast calls it, the name tage that sits in front of CSPs. That big white Serifed Font. I'm not talking about the black "banner" that overlaps each CSS icon, i'm talking about the text that appears when you select a character that is located just above your name. I remember some guy told me that he edited every text that said "lucario" to "mewtwo". I'm assuming this meant he did the nametag and was succesful with it.

Yes I'm trying to edit them, found them on Common5.pac, exported edited them, did not touch their image dimension or image type. All I did was fill everything with black, used a new font and wrote over on top in white. saved as a png, as it was exported as png. replaced the respective one in smashbox .57, lalala, l4, 0 transparent colour, exactly the same stuff as an original "nametag". put in on the game, freezes. not a BEEP, but a softer quieter beep roughly 0.7 seconds after you enter a CSS. I mean I exported an original and brough it back in, has the same palette, size and everything as the new ones i made.


Why can't I edit them?

I don't know why you're touching that stuff in the first place...probably because they're encrypted and it's pointless to try to edit them? I find no purpose in doing that.

Nice job on that.

I used GIMP, and wasn't able to get the text just right.

Here's one more example.

Note: No offense to ANYONE.

I have GIMP but used Paint to edit Lucario's name (and all the other names).

 

[A17]

so what did you do that i didn't do?you suppose to save it in another way?

 

[ds22]

Don't know.
With me it worked fine (using BrawlBox .59 to replace the files).

P.S. I succeeded to replace the character name under lucario's in battle portrait.

Yeah, because offensive slang isn't offensive to anybody. Sigh.

Anyways, how'd you do that?

Where'd you find the battle portrait name? I've looked all over Common5.pac but haven't found any more Marths I can change...

are you serious? I spent a full day (24hrs, no sleep) trying to figure out why the heck I couldnt get the name strip to work, and then somebody comes up with this. -_-;;

The in battle names are found in info.pac (only works for group brawl, not for training).

Where can I download that? And where would it go on the SD card?

Make you feel like a n00b eh? Don't worry i'm with you on this, but you'll get it soon.

yes it does XD well its good that Im not alone, haha... thanks ^_^"

 

[DarkPikmin]

use brawlbox seriously... its super easy?

 

[A17]

okay so i finally got a chance to try it.

here's the problem. I go into my CSS, none of the characters have that newly edited nametag, and no CSPs i got on the common 5 are shown, just defaulted ones. I checked it out with brawlbox, the new nametags are existent, and my CSPs are in their place. I also changed the (back of) hand cursor you control to a dark gray to test.

Is it because of the way i located the text? here's what ivysaur looks like. I want it to be off to the right side and not in the center.

do l4 files read images like a screen blending mode in photoshop? White being opaque, black being transparent and all this at grayscale?
