Let's Figure Out the Articles (SUCCESFULLY EDITTED ONE!)

[Plaid02]

Zero's buster uses projectiles from the Ray Gun and the Super Scope. In fact, it invisibly generates these items and fires them, then deletes them. If you want to/can edit what the Ray Gun fires, then you can do that.

As for generating something from Pikachu... unless you are editing Pikachu, you can't do that.

O_O That's confusing. At least I know it's possible, right? Except he would have to do the animation for the ray gun, which would not be what one would do for a demon fang... Maybe do a different animation and speed up the ray gun animation so it's so fast you can't see it? It still leaves the problem of flying probably too fast, not along the ground, and straight in midair, but it should still be possible.

 

[[TSON]]

He would not have to use the raygun animation at all, just do

Create Article: #
Consume/Use Item
Delete Article: #

And the fired ray would have to be replaced through Brawlbox with Kirby's Final Cutter article? Is there any way to offset the point from which it is fired so it can appear to go along the ground? And is the damage/knockback alterable?

 

[Eldiran]

Yep, nope, not that I know.

 

[Plaid02]

I think it's time to go with Fierce Demon Fang, or maybe Demonic Circle. Something that does not involve... This.

For fierce demon fang, it would just be a multi hit chargable with ground effects, right? A regular ray blast would be ok damage-wise for a regular demon fang if we made the move not chargable and made it take a little longer... And the guy making the psa only wants level one moves. If he even ever gets back to me.

Edit: I don't suppose it's possible to give the article slash damage, is it? And sorry for all the questions...

Yes, no, and yes.

If you could find the flags in the messy hexxy then yes :V

 

[Plaid02]

Ok, I thought of another idea. Could I generate a hothead, change its article graphic to final cutter, make it slash damage and disappear whenever it reaches a ledge? If that would work, it acts perfectly. The speed's about right, and it goes along the ground. If the attack is used on the ground, I could have it just thrown downwards and if the air, weak thrown forwards. I doubt it would work to make it chargable (damage alteration has to be hexed, right?), and I'm mostly concerned with getting rid of it getting bigger whenever fire or electricity touch it. Also, sometimes they jump backwards (I think). So would that be possible?

Sorry, but making it disappear at certain points falls under changing behavior, which can't be done. I'm not even sure you can edit item properties at all, honestly...

 

[JoeGrandma]

What I want to do does not involve changing damage or anything like that.

I just want to swap Lucas' snake with Link's hookshot. How would I do that? My attempts have resulted in Lucas holding a long narrow stick in his hands.

What exactly do I do?

 

[[TSON]]

Hookshot is two articles, Rope Snake is one. Not possible.

 

[Plaid02]

All right, last time before I just wait for phantom wings.

*goes into some sort of super mode and uses 100 TP for a summon tech*

I SUMMON PHANTOM WINGS!!!

So, anyway, last idea. I remember that, in PSA, you can create something with lots of hitboxes growing consecutively farther. I realize this is a much cruder method than an actual article, but w/e. Would it be possible to have the hitboxes keep going on and have Lloyd able to move again once he's done moving, and would it be possible (by having some glowing white hitboxes moving in small increments) to make it look close enough to a demon fang? In the air, I suppose it could just go diagonally downwards and not go along the ground if it touches it.

And everyone, including Phantom Wings (for whom I hope I didn't just waste 100 TP), is absolutely certain I can't completely jack the final cutter behavior and graphics from Kirby?

Well, what I meant is that I only wanted the chain part.

Definitely can't take articles/projectiles from other characters. You can fake the projectile as you just described, however -- it's been common practice in fact. Here's a visual dictionary of effects you may need: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcfpKYOANgU

 

[Plaid02]

Thanks a lot, I just thought of one more question. Is it possible to make a condition on hit (or, even better, a condition on touching the ground/going off the ledge? This might be my last question.

 

[Eldiran]

Requirement: 0B, "Hit with Hitbox", triggers when you hit with a hitbox. You should be able to use Requirements On Ground and In Air for the other things you need.

 

[Untouch]

Apparantly the speed, angle and gravity of falco's blasters are articles.

*fails again* The On Ground and In Air requirements are for the character, right? How will I get the Demon Fang pseudo-projectile to go along the ground when it lands?

Oh. Uh, sorry, but, you won't.

 

[Plaid02]

Oh. Uh, sorry, but, you won't.

Figured that. I suppose I'll either have it go straight in the air (which would be rather lame), or have it go diagonally downwards. The only problem with that is the ability to shoot it through, say, the lip of FD and hit someone on the other side.

 

[[TSON]]

Kirk found how to edit these articles more indepth (behavioral, amount of hitboxes, etc.), so bump in anticipation for his post.

EDIT: 15BE0 = thunder
15540 = aerial thunder jolt
15640 = grounded thunder jolt

[Kirk]

Yeah, I basically mined the PAC file of Link, Samus and Olimar among others while working on Brawl-, and I came up with some VERY promising findings.

Basically, I opened up the PAC in a hex editor, scanned the insides, found the portion after the regular stuff and just getting into the specials. Noticed that things are ordered in a certain way, and things just began to make sense.

So, I'm going to be very lazy and copypasta my text file of notes I've taken, because it's a lot of stuff...

There were some random floating point values in the vicinity of the article offsets, so upon testing those on a hunch, they turned out to be different properties of the articles themselves. I only tested the floating points for Link so far, as I haven't gotten around to much else.

Just looked briefly for collisions, nothing else. Here they are.

So there you have it...my work thus far. It's helped tremendously in editing these characters, and I hope others can put it to good use. The most interesting things to note are the floating point values which modify the articles properties, and the various offsets and subroutines that call actions and subactions for the articles themselves. That's right...I do believe articles have THEIR OWN set of actions and subactions, completely separated from the character who uses them. This makes sense when you think about it, but just putting it all together is like...whoa.

Again, apologies for sloppy notes, it's what I have. xD

 

[JoeGrandma]

Well, BrawlBox says that articles have their own textures, models, animations, and everything, it would make sense if they had their own actions and subactions, too.

 

[[TSON]]

Kirk also taught me, if you want to ADD hitboxes or try out frame speed modifier or whatever, what you must do is find the offset of what you want to edit, OPEN IN PSA'S SUBROUTINES TAB!!!! and then copy the hitbox. After that, click on it, click modify, at the top right click change. Then you should be in a familiar spot. Change it to a "Subroutine...", which is a goto, then point it to a vacant subaction's offset. 3 and 4 are usually open. Paste the hitbox you had into the empty subaction, adding whatever else you need, and update the "Subroutine..." to the new offset. Boom done.

 

[Eldiran]

Kirk... that is beautiful. I love seeing such useful info posted for everyone to use. Great job!

EDIT: This works flawlessly. Oddly, with 0 gravity, the arrows float upward a tad. Due to angle, no doubt.

EDIT2: Yep, due to angle. It's super awesome to be able to make a flawlessly homing boomerang, by the way.

 

[[TSON]]

Why is this topic down here, it should be booming with activity.

***Pikachu/Pichu Article Floating Points***
**Thunder Jolt (Aerial)**
156F8 = Velocity
15730 = transparency of background (?)
15764 = Intensity of glow (?)

**Thunder Jolt (Grounded)**
15F70 = it seems way out there, but editing it made the hitbox go away...

 

[God of Humility]

Correct me if I misunderstood, but with the list Kirk posted about Link's articles, are we able to edit his projectiles through PSA by entering the offset and modifying parameters? Or do we still need a hex editor?

 

[[TSON]]

In PSA you cannot edit the behaviors of the articles, but you can add some code or change hitbox data in it. That's really all it's good for. The rest you'll need a hex editor for.

 

[NeonTogepi]

Is there a way to change the bone an article is attached to?

 

[[TSON]]

It could be in there somewhere, but we haven't found it yet. This is why this thread should be booming. Once we figure out what every attribute does then we're all winners.

 

[Dantarion]

Good job, with this info I can add article support to OpenSA2 easyyy.

THANKSSS A LOTT

 

[MK26]

^^god among men?

dant, we need more info plox

also, can i get a response to the pm?

EDIT: pm, singular

You're PMSing?

Ok, but can we change the trajectories with a hex editor? I heard not, but with this list of offsets, is it possible? Like there is a value for Link's arrows gravity, can we change that so his arows have a shorter range?

 

[superyoshi888]

^Or longer range, for that matter? I have like 4 ideas buzzing around in my head for PSA characters, and one of them is for Link.

 

[[TSON]]

Absolutely. That's why this thread should be lolraging with activity. The possibilities are endless now! I mean, Kirk made Link's boomerang return ALWAYS, he made his arrows move in slow motion, he made bombs ice element, and I was able to make thunder jolt into a trap, make thunder hit 9 times, I mean, what CAN'T you do?!

^Or longer range, for that matter? I have like 4 ideas buzzing around in my head for PSA characters, and one of them is for Link.

Sure! Resize the article in BBox, then open the offset in PSA, and change the hitbox's position to match. Easy!

 

[Kirk]

I've freely modified Link's arrows and boomerang to do my bidding for the Brawl- project.

Currently, I believe you can only edit the floating points with a hex editor. My list shows what offsets they are at. It's A LOT of work to find everything and test it, but I do believe its well worth it in the end.

And I'm glad to see my findings are having some use to other people.

 

[Phantom Wings]

Is there a way to change the bone an article is attached to?

Hmm... I guess I should make a contribution here as well. *mumble* where was it now? *mumble, mumble* Ah! Here it is.

For anyone savvy enough with a hex editor, you should be able to find the bone an article is attached to if you can find the root location of the article. From there its [Root Location + 0x8] which should hold the bone id. (0xFFFFFFFF if the article is a projectile and doesn't stick to the character)

The Root location is that area with the pointers to all the tables holding the character data (the animation table, B Move table, the GFX tables and the attribute table.) Both the articles and the character itself have a root, but each one differs to some degree in accordance to the module files. (what I'm currently working on)

I know that the root of the character can be found at [[[0x64] + ([0x68] * 0x4) + 0x80] + 0x80] and that pointers to the roots of the articles can be found inside the root of the character (each pointer value needs + 0x80), but because of the modules, the locations of those pointers vary from character to character (hence, being unable to allow PSA to modify them)

Here should be the locations for Mario's Cape and FLUDD

0x1E38C - Cape(root = 0x1E384)
0x1E490 - FLUDD(root = 0x1E488)

Cheers.

but because of the modules, the locations of those pointers vary from character to character (hence, being unable to allow PSA to modify them)

Ah, so article support in PSA without manual labor is impossible? That's unfortunate.
