[Eternal Yoshi]

Why is the first song on Yoshi's Island Pipes have such a low volume?

 

[Linkshot]

Now for somebody to turn this method into an application that injects itself into a GCT of your choice.

 

[ぱみゅ]

Awesome, I'll check it out layer.

 

[Supreme Dirt]

I think you mean Brinstar

 

[standardtoaster]

Oh yeah, my bad. Fixed it.

 

[ぱみゅ]

Coding n00b here.
So, if I want to add more than one volume change, how do I do that?
(and what goes in "byte count"?)

 

[standardtoaster]

it's number of songs + 1 * 4 then convert to hex. The + 1 is to account for ending your song list with 7FFF0000.

For example, if you wanted to have 2 songs, you would do

2 + 1 = 3
3 * 4 = 12
12 in hex is C

Your byte count for this would be C.

The song list would be like this:

YYYY00XX YYYY00XX
7FFF0000 00000000

You do not need to include the 00000000 in the byte count for this.

 

[hotdogturtle]

So someone should make a code with... all the songs at the same volume? I think? Is that what we want?

 

[Supreme Dirt]

Going to normalize everything to 80

Going to start with everything below 70 first

If you want every song in the game to be the same volume, you can just use this code instead.

Global Song Volume Mod [standardtoaster, Magus]

XX is a number out of 127

 

[Magus420]

If you're not replacing the music on a slot you most likely do not want to be modifying its volume scaling, as the resulting volume depends on the brstm as well. It's why the customizable one was made so that you can modify just the slots that you have custom music in (or brawl tracks that you think weren't normalized well with the in-game modifier). If you normalize all your brstms outside the game, you might say change all those slots to 80 to better match the rest of the game's music which is normalized using the volume modifier.

 

[TheUltimateKoopa]

What if you have 2 custom BRSTMS, but one of them is like really quiet? And then when you amplify it, it's still too quiet, (when played on a PC, compared to a typical BRSTM from Brawl?) how do you make it louder without destroying the quality?

iirc, that code causes music not to play lower when paused, am I right?

 

[standardtoaster]

These codes are completely different than Deathwolf's. However, I have not tested what the sounds are like when you pause. I completely forgot they change volume, lol.

 

[standardtoaster]

Just tested the pause volume. It is completely unaffected. When you pause, the volume of the song is divided by 2. For example, if you had a volume 80 song and paused, it's now playing at volume 40.

 

[ぱみゅ]

And now I officially love you more than anyone in SWF.

 

[JediKnightTemplar]

Now for somebody to turn this method into an application that injects itself into a GCT of your choice.

You already have GCTEdit which can do exactly that.

 

[Linkshot]

I meant a list of songs as a drop down and a gauge which is the volume, save the settings, creates a code to put in GCTEdit.

Would be cool if someone who knew what they were doing updated the Brawl Custom Music GUI and added that as a feature. Volume balancing and ease of use? Yay.

How do I get this to work?

 

[BackwardCap]

I could really use a tutorial on where and how I would make this function on my project M. I'm stumped when it comes to codes and stuff.

 

[standardtoaster]

I'm not exactly sure how else to explain how to use it other than my previous posts in this thread.

 

[BackwardCap]

I just need to know stuff like what file type the code should be and where I should put it on my Project M Folder.

 

[standardtoaster]

File type? It goes in RSBE01.gct.

 

[Deleted member]

Oh sweet, this is perfect! (Now I know why all my BSTRM's volume sounds odd sometimes...)
Standardtoaster, you are extraordinarily awesome.

 

[Strong Badam]

That doesn't even make sense. The custom music we provide for select stages is already at the correct volume and so is the rest of the game. This is only useful for customization, and wouldn't work universally.

 

[ぱみゅ]

So, what's wrong with customization of an already custom game?

 

[SovietChicken64]

I have very little experience modding Brawl files and hope to find out more.

I recently installed Project M (hackless) and enjoy it greatly. I also changed some music tracks around while I was at it but was puzzled by a handful of songs being extremely quiet or loud. This thread made it clear, and thank you for the information... but I don't know how to change the code.

Ideally, I'd like this to work with the P:M. I saw standardtoaster mention file RSBE01.gct but there are two of those in the P:M folders. One under "Codes" (47kb) and one under "Wi Fi" (45kb). I assume the "Codes" is the one I need to edit? Or is there another instance of RSBE01 I need to touch? Also, HOW do I edit this file? I've downloaded a few programs but they only seem to CREATE .gcp files, not EDIT existing ones.

 

[ぱみゅ]

Yes, you have to create a new one by using a .txt file with the codes to use. You'll need to add the codes you'll need to the text file, and then check/uncheck the codes.

Don't forget that, once you have the .gct ready, you'll need to delete the old and then paste the new one, never overwrite them (nor overwrite any file).

 

[ViewtifulHoe242]

how do you even use this?
do i copy and paste it somewhere in the project m file in my sd card?
this is mad confusing for anyone who doesnt live infront of a computer screen

 

[libertyernie]

I think we're missing a song for Halberd.
Out of curiosity, how'd you get those original values?

 

[standardtoaster]

I set a breakpoint on the address that loads the song volume and looked at what the original volume in one of the registers was. If you can find out what song on halberd is missing I can add it.

Whenever I try to put this code into the RSBE01.gct it never loads it, but idk if I'm just putting the code in there incorrectly. What am I supposed to open the .gct with anyway? I downloaded a GCTEditor and export the .gct as a .txt file, then edit the .txt file, then convert it back to .gct when I insert the code. Am I doing this correctly?

Oh yeah, and I change the "XX" to 80 when I insert the code.

 

[standardtoaster]

It might be freezing because you put in 80. The value it takes is in hex not dec. 0x80 = 128 in dec.

 

[DeliciousOctorok]

I'm sorry I'm still confused. Should I replace the "XX" with 128 instead? I'm trying that and it's still not working.

Also, am I supposed to use this code with the code in your OP? If so how do I do that?

 

[ぱみゅ]

It means that if you write "80" it will translate to 128, something the game can't afford.
Use something like 60 (which would translate to 96).


Optionally, use this table: http://www.cambiaresearch.com/articles/43/hexadecimal-hex-to-decimal-lookup-table

Oh I understand what you're saying. I'm using 50 which translates to 80 but it still doesn't work. I'm pretty sure I'm just putting the code in the .gct incorrectly.

I used the code in the OP and that worked, but I don't want to go through every ID for every song. I mean, I'll do that if I have to, but I'd rather just use the global code if it manages to work.

 

[Shinuto]

ok so....I need codemanager or something for this....if I want to equalize ALL of the brstms all together what should I do and how i do use this code and where do I put it?
