hotdogturtle's stage hacking thread

[hotdogturtle]

I guess with the creation of this board, I can move my stuff from the Brawlbox showcase thread to my own spot.

Most of my stuff involves swapping background on stages, since I lack the artistic ability to edit textures, but there's a lot of unused potential in some stage backgrounds. I also work a bit with SSE stages.

Final Jungle
Normal edges/Fixed edges

Textures borrowed from Canon98 and Mr Ike, with optional fixed edges provided by Shadic.

Great Fox in space - Sector Z!?

Subspace stage

A wifi waiting room replacement. I ported this stage myself, and added grabbable edges to the bottom platform.

SSE forest stage, fixed

This was already done but I added grabbable edges to the main platform.

Battleskiff

The background moves like in the original skiff stage.

[pokelover980]

Nice job, looking good!

 

[Rudra]

Woah, those are pretty good! (<3 Great Fox in Space and that Subspace stage)
I cant wait to see that Battlefield done too!

"SSE forest stage"
What is save name?

 

[Leisha]

These are amazing, I wanna figure out how to do these =P

 

[hotdogturtle]

Battleskiff is finished! Check the first post.

I know the ground looks really bright compared to regular Battlefield, but just remember, you're floating way up in the sky in the middle of the day when the sun is unobstructed and shining directly on you. Plus this stage never turns to night time.

Does the background move at all like it does in SSE?

 

[hotdogturtle]

Yeah, it's fully animated. I forgot to mention that.

That's hot, totally replacing my current BF texture for it.

That's really good ^^

Still replacing textures when we have Dantarion's ASL code?

 

[Mewtwo_2000]

Dantarion's ASL code is the best, and combined with PW's expansion system, the best of the best xD

I don't know why Dantarion does not make a complete alternative loader for characters, almas is unable to test his codes, and Dantarion sure would make a good job at it

Hey Mewtwo, you seem to be really good at this... You think you could help me fix this stage so the ground isn't so bright without messing up the lighting of the background? I tried a bunch of things yesterday, but I couldn't get it, and I wanted to just put out what I had since it's not a huge problem, although it would be nice to fix. The stage is using the smash skiff's scenedata, and it freezes if I use Battlefield's original scenedata.

Oh, by the way, for everyone else, I do have a new stage in the works as well.

I wouldn't mind testing Almas' codes if I had stable computer acess. I'm fine with the ASl but I wish song injection was possible.

This is my newest hack, the Ghost Ship. It replaces Final Destination, but it doesn't play like it. I strongly suggest using either Dantarion's alternate stage loader code or Phantom Wings' stage roster expansion code to experience this stage without losing your regular FD.

This stage does have a few issues that haven't been worked out yet. Mainly, it doesn't animate. Actually, it does, but only for a couple seconds before stopping. Ideally I wanted to have the stage rocking back and forth a little bit (like Lylat but not as much), but that doesn't seem to be working yet. At the very least I want to make the flag continuously wave. I'm hoping I'll be able to fix these in the future. Also, Pokemon Trainer may occasionally stand on something that doesn't look like the ground. Finally, the camera and death boundaries might be a little big, I'm not sure. It was kind of hard to judge them on a stage this size, and to make it even harder, Brawlwall was misrepresenting some vertical values to me. Try this stage out and let me know what you think, so I can release an updated version if I need to.

I've tried a quick fix, look if you like it at all
