CSPs in brawlbox

[patoons]

i'm in the process of getting all my textures CSPs, by taking a snapshot, editing it to size and putting it on with BrawlBox. my question is sometimes, after i take the snapshot and edit it properly in photoshop, the image looks nice and crisp. but when i put it in brawlbox for the CSP, it comes out very blurry sometimes. the actual image itself is not blurry though. is it a setting in brawlbox? or something i have to do in photoshop? i took screenshots of both, to show the difference, below

Thats because you need to add more colors in brawlbox, select replace, select image, open, in that window that open up, you need to chage colors, ill put images later.

EDIT:


i hope you understand, also i havent tested this yet because i never had this problem before, i think this is the solution, if not, i dont know what is the solution.

 

[patoons]

thanks master_hax for going thru that. the colors were maxed out already tho after you told me to check, what i did that worked was I changed the image format, and it helped the few that were crappy looking. thanks

 

[Master Hax]

You had a diferent image format... oh, that can screw the images too.

Another thing that is very important, if your game crash by selecting your character with custom csp, its because some palette errors that cant be fixed by only editing them

To fix that you need to download a fresh and unedited Common5.pac (or sc_selcharacter if you use a custom menu) and extract the correct miscdata[XX] and replace the custom one with the original one.

I hope you understand.

first of all, do you have PAL wii?

 

[hero1771]

no, nstc brawl and wii. after all, im in wisconsin

Do you have the correct file patch code? You need 3.5.1 to load CSP's

 

[hero1771]

yes. file patch made by phatom wings, am i correct? v 3.5.1? yes.

 

[Master Hax]

change the image format, i put an example before, scroll up and you´ll see it

index the image in PS first... <.<

 

[Segtendo]

This. ALWAYS index in Photoshop or GIMP

 

[hero1771]

index??? what does that mean?

 

[Master Hax]

indexed colors, a limited numbers of colors i think, but, i never index my csp´s and my game works fine, it only crashes if i have played too much time with textures, i discovered that with some friends, we set a 99 lives match with 0.5 ratio with no items,we played like 5 hours, and in the next match the game crashed.

 

[hero1771]

i got a marth csp working, but the background is still on it. apparently when i try to csp mario, it fails.

 

[ASF1nk]

if you don't index and lower the colors, eventually ur game will freeze beacuese u will go over the file size limit.

People should really learn to use CSPs.
1.Always keep the resolution
2.Index the image
3.replace using format C18
4.on that same pop up window lower the colors to something decent looking.
5.??????
6.PROFIT!

 

[Segtendo]

Also, don't forget. Make sure the BG of the CSP is clear, or else you'll see it in-game.

People should really learn to use CSPs.
1.Always keep the resolution-resolution on what? the csp's?
2.Index the image-still no explination for indexing
3.replace using format C18-check
4.on that same pop up window lower the colors to something decent looking.-oh...ok...
5.??????
6.PROFIT!-khool.

ok. now i know
well, apperently on paint.net it says i deleted the background but in-game its still there

So does the file size limit still exist for Riivolution with CSP editing? Mine has been freezing in both Riivolution (and GeckoOS), and it's irritating me.

Yes, it does, AFAIK...just edit it in a photo editing software and keep the dimensions (128 x 160) and you should be fine using them in-game...

 

[Jiiprah]

you could use Brawl Texturizer to add CSPs.

when editing photos...index them with fewer colors. I always only use 100 colors. keeps the file size low

Also cleaner way to make CSPs is to open the trophies PAC files of each character, apply the texture to it then view the model and position the camera just right.

CSP's require file patch 3.5.1. Get one of your coders to port it correctly. Or use Riivolution, but with all its problems now discovered, might be best to try to port the file patch

 

[agroves]

no one will that's the problem. If only phantom wings would make one...
The PAL Code database has mentioned it but no one has actually done it. I would try but i am bad at porting (tekken 3 epic fail). Hopefully someone will
