How can I add stages to Project M?

[Savion Williams]

I am not a master hacker, or anything of the sort. But is there a really easy and simple way to just replace a stage? I would appreciate any help that anyone could give. Also, if it isn't too much of a bother, post a download link to your favorite custom stage that you have. Thanks

open your sd card with a file explorer and then proceed along this path:

private>wii>app>rsbe>pf>stage>melee

This folder called melee holds stages used in vs mode. To restore a default brawl stage, you must simply delete the one that "goes over" it. For example, P:M final destination is labelled STGFINAL.pac. Delete this file, and you will now have the vanilla brawl final destination.

This is where is gets complicated. Several years ago, Brawl modding advanced to the point where it was possible to place a stage such as final destination over another stage, such as Big Blue. This requires that one rename a final destination stage as STGDXBIGBLUE (dx tells you that the stage goes over/is one of the past melee stages), and supply a "rel" file. Rel files are found in the module folder. If you want to restore bridge of Eldin for example, you need to delete both STGOLDIN in the melee folder, and st_oldin in the module folder.

I will be updating my stage thread as soon as I complete my newest one.

What Kati said doesn't include what you will see on your Stage Selection Screen. You will need to do some more digging and replacing to view your stage on the Stage Section Screen properly, or else it will appear as the original stage.

I dont mind that the stages display wont show up. So If I want to replace the stage rainbow cruise, i take rainbow cruises name and put it on a different file?

You can delete the stage Rainbow Cruise (Which I believe on top of my head is called STGXCRUISE, you should double check though) and rename the custom stage you have STGXCRUISE, or you can just rename and replace the new one with the old one. All of this is in the "Stage" folder by the way.

If the stage wasn't made for Rainbow Cruise you can still use the same method as above, but you will also have to use a conversion site to make the .rel ( I think that's the name, it's the stages in the "Module" file) compatible with which stage the stage you downloaded was meant for.

Sorry if this information is too vague. I haven't actually messed with my build since late June, and have since been occupied with stuff totally unrelated to this field. Also I had only been customizing active for 1 month before then. Anyways I could easily look at my build through Brawl Vault and give you specifies, but too lazy/GoogleIsGod

Hope that helps.
