Disabling Stage Hazards

[SmashBroski]

I'm completely new to the Brawl stage scene so I have a few questions regarding what can and can't be done with stage hazards.

I currently have Brawl Minus's rendition of Spear Pillar in my Project M build but the hazards are proving to be a nuisance (e.g. Palkia in general, portions of the stage being destroyed especially given the lack of cave). What I would like to do is disable these hazards but retain the Pokemon in the background.

Is that possible?

Could I go even further and have the Pokemon appear a few seconds into the match as they normally would but have them frozen in place for the rest of the match?

I think the PMBR managed to freeze Pokemon Stadium 2 so it doesn't transform so is what I mentioned possible? What software/programs will I need?

The code they used for pokemon stadium 2 would stop the pokemon from appearing on spear pilliar

Where can I find the code to do so? Would I need Ocarina and GCT Editor to do this? I might get rid of the Pokemon altogether and then make the third version a tint of red in reference to Giratina.

Could I make it so the Pokemon are just background characters like the Villagers in Smashville?

This is what I'm kind of looking to do, how would I stop them from producing hazards but still have them in the background.

I'll give this a shot though.

Acknowledged. Thanks!

But for future reference, how would you freeze a stage so it doesn't transform?

It depends. To my knowledge, using the Level Freezer code is the easiest method, though since everything is frozen, no stage animations will play.

In brief;
If you know a thing or two about stage modding in BrawlBox, you can replace hazard models with "Static" models for certain stages, such as Spear Pillar. In some cases, you can simply edit a stage's MiscData[20] values so that hazards effectively never show up unless your match is an hour long. Another very effective (most effective?) method would be to "port" a stage over another. You can check if somebody has already made a hazard-free version of a stage on the Brawl Vault. (I recall seeing a "Norfair +" stage, among others.)
