How to Create Custom Stage Select Screen (Normal / Melee Stage List) Need Help Inside

[Jack Kieser]

Ok, so I'm planning on hosting tournaments at UW in the future, and as a helpful measure to new players, I want to have custom stage select screens; the first screen is ONLY going to be BBRRC Neutral stages, and the second screen (which is usually Melee Stages) is ONLY going to be Counterpick stages. Banned stages won't be shown at all.

What I would like is a guide to how one would go about creating both lists. I would rather, if the option exists, create those lists through editing sc_selmap.pac than do it using codes because I'm also going to be editing sc_selmap.pac anyway to change some of the textures around (so the lists are called "Starter" and "Counterpick", respectively, on screen).

Can someone please either post a guide or link me to existing guides (they've fallen so far down the thread list that searching for them yields about 50 pages of results), and I'll update the OP so that this thread can remain an in-depth guide to SSS hacking.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, found a guide by MK, that I'll probably get around to adding to the OP. In the meantime, I'm trying to use it to create a Custom SSS 2.0 code, and failing. For some reason, I'm getting a DSI exception in Gecko... but I'm sure my byte counts are alright, so that can't be it. Here's my code: see if you can find any problems.

What got changed? What did I do wrong in my first attempt?

EDIT: The code works beautifully, by the way. Exactly what I was aiming for. ^_^ Many thanks. So, is it safe to say there's no way to do this by editing sc_selmap.pac?

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Editing sc_selmap is not the way to go for what you were aiming for as you may have made certain texture and file references invalid by doing so.

 

[Jack Kieser]

Oh, that makes me sad... Too bad it doesn't work like sc_selcharacter.pac does. Anyway, what is the difference between the code you made and the original code I tried? I want to understand the difference for when I make up an actual guide.

 

[Supreme Dirt]

Jack.

By doing so you're taking away the option for both players to agree to play on a banned stage, and that is BS.

 

[Jack Kieser]

Supreme, when new players who have never played competitive Brawl before are learning a brand new system of rules, keeping it simple helps them learn. This is intended for starting a new Brawl scene entirely from scratch (Seattle doesn't exactly have a burgeoning Brawl scene; in fact, it's non-existent, in a practical sense).

Once they learn how to play competitively, I'll take off the training wheels. Besides, this is a guide thread; if you have that big of a problem with it, PM me.

 

[FEAR977]

I have a dumb question. Where do you put this code?
