Custom skins and music in 3.6

[PD | Lewd]

I've got a metric ton of custom skins and music in my PM, so when the new update cocomes out for 3.6 Will the skins that are currently available from brawl vault work in the new version? Will I have to wait for them to modify the skins to work in the new version? I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this I just thought this was the most "general" thread.

If the skin works now, it'll work later.

Awesome. Thanks so much!

You will have to re-add your CSPs though. They are no longer in the common5.pac.

ooooh interesting.
are they in a separate file that makes swapping them out super easy?

plzyes

Yo what?

Edit: By which I mean what sorcery did the coders do now?

Yeah, what exactly do you mean Nano?

If they add any more easter egg taunts that might not be true, remember, there is still a file size limit, and a lot of Link's cooler custom skins were rendered unplayable in PM due to the Ocarina taunt.

If the CSPs were moved out of Common5, does that mean the file size limit is now ignored and the CSP resolution is now back to (or above) Brawl standards? That would be awesome!

oh god, that would be the best news.
that and news that PM made a set of high quality csps.

So good

 

[Star ☆]

news that PM made a set of high quality csps.

What do you mean by that? Is the PMDT going to release a compilation of all the CSPs in super high quality for graphics and stuff?

 

[Narpas_sword]

i mean, if news were to arrive that that was going to happen.

Oh. I got all excited then

You know how the common5 contained smaller .brres files like sc_selcharacter and sc_selmap? They were just separated into individual files. Why? Idk, something to do with the ASL. However, it doesn't really help with filesize stuff regarding the CSS. I've tried using SJS's CSPs as C18 compression, but it froze after adding it to 6 characters. So we are still stuck with ugly CMPR compression for CSPs.

 

[Narpas_sword]

aw damn =(

still, will make importing a new set of csps easier, instead of having to put csps into a common5 individually that already has stage icons.

Is this one of the reasons for 3.6's delay? I'm very curious because that conversion sounds like a giant headache.

 

[Narpas_sword]

what due date have they passed in order to class it as a delay?

 

[PsychoGhost]

True, they never set a date.

But they have already said that they've encountered a few unexpected obstacles. I'm assuming this is one of them.

 

[Narpas_sword]

I'm willing to bet that based on what nano said, "They were just separated into individual files. Why? Idk, something to do with the ASL" That this is actually a solution to an unexpected obstacle, rather than an obstacle.

 

[Nanobuds]

Nope, the unexpected delay is more complicated. The common5 separation caused no problems whatsoever. It actually used to be separated like that back in the day when Riivolution was used more.

Do you need more testers nanobuds?

Im a software analyst and tester IRL =p

That's really strange. I've thought about trying to split it on my own when doing some customizing. I figured it would help the file size.

Eheh nah we're good. Its just something that takes time to get done.

 

[Narpas_sword]

ah well, worth a shot =p

looking for a new job as my contract is almost up, some volunteer work on my cv for something international would be sweet.
