Ok, so I made a Falcon skin using Steelia's texture package (Red-US) and the placements.txt offsets are apparently off. Does anyone have a correct version of his offsets?
Check the offsets for blue Captain Falcon. The files are the same size, so they might share placements. Actually, all of Captain Falcon's texture files are around 514 KiB.

I actually made tpl's from the unaltered tga's to get the correct placements and it turned out fine except the back for some reason didn't get changed and still shows the bloodhawk logo.

I'm starting to put together a collection of random links to custom textures. I'll put them in a new thread once I get enough (whatever enough is). Should be soon. You guys can help by PMing me links to non Stack Smash textures, if you think I might not find certain ones or if you really want to see certain ones. So yeah, that's going on.

Where's qual and Milun?

edit: I found out that I'm going to be out of commission until Friday. I'm going to S. California for family stuff. I'll post the new thread next weekend. Lo siento, hombres.

For some reason, I haven't been able to change 2 of black Marth's (PlMsBk) textures, his shoe and his leg (55OOS-Shoe and 56OOS-Leg in Steelia's package, respectively).



No matter what I do, they always stay the same, and I've followed the guide correctly. Any ideas?

'ey there, ~Shao~, nice texture you've got going so far. (:

The "OOS" textures are used exclusively for when the character is "Out Of Screen" -- literally, the small model you see when they appear on the magnifier when getting close to the KO zones (top, left, right, bottom).
Those textures you want to edit... if I'm looking at it correctly...
For the top part of the boot, you'd need to edit "37BootRidge".
For the main part of the boot (just below the BootRidge), you edit "36Foot".
And for the metal part on the foot, you'd need to edit "38FootMetal".
And pants are in "32PantF"(with the side/groin area of the pants being in "33PantUpD").

Wow I love the activity in this thread now that summer's here. I'm trying my ****dest to get us a dedicated Melee hacking SECTION...instead of thread.

The Brawl section has it, why the f*ck can't we?

You wrote a nice, simpler guide for HPS hacking which I like. I'm debating a few things here in terms of changing the first post - a)post a link to this guide, though I'm not sure that it would get the attention it deserves, or b)copy/paste your entire guide into the first post, if you're okay with that. Your guide also showed me some "show/hide" magic that will help so much with organizing the first post :p.
Go for it!
Copy/Paste is cool with me :)

I wrote it to help people, if you think it will help, that would make me happy!
I still have to thank you for taking the time to write the original though! :bee:

EDIT: It worked. And thanks for the compliment btw

Im currently doing texture hacked PAL version of melee, but now I'm having one big problem and I hope someone can help me with this problem.
So most of files in NTSC and PAL versions are just in .dat file extension but some files requires different file extensions for every language (in NTSC version .dat for japanese and .usd american english and in PAL version .dat for japanese, .ukd for UK english, .frd for french, .gmd for german, .itd for italian and .spd for spanish.) example in character selection screen (I think it's because game needs to show different things for every language). So my problem here it is that can I somehow replace .ukd file extension files with .usd file extensions?
Every texture hack (at least I think so) is done with NTSC melee and for american english language, so every texture is in .usd for those files that requires different file extensions for every language. Example Pokemon Stadium's normal transformation texture hacks are all in .usd file extensions and I would want those textures to my PAL melee, but I can't see a way that I can replace .ukd files with .usd. So should I just do my own texture hacks for PAL version or is there a way to replace .ukd files with .usd files?
Another problem comes with that fact that some .usd files actually requires more size than .ukd files so I couldn't even replace those files if it is even possible to replace .ukd with .usd because Gc-tool just says: "Can't replace bigger files than the original files!" or something like that.
I don't know if I'm just blind and didn't see this question asked before but sorry if this is already asked! I hope someone can help me with my problem.

you'd probably have to manually hex things over again.

you can replace files with larger ones by rebuilding your iso.

Hey, this isn't a texture hack question per se, but I bought mario galaxy 2 recently and to play it I had to install some update (which came on the galaxy 2 disc, not from online)

after installing the update my homebrew stuff no longer works (it did before and I had a texture hacked burned copy of melee that was playable on my wii); I was wondering if anyone could explain or otherwise point me to some source that will tell me how to uninstall/re-install everything as I don't want to risk bricking my wii

Just went through the whole topic looking for textures, a few don't have DL links.

http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=9651170&postcount=1032
http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=9528470&postcount=962 (link for yeti DK is broken)
http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=9477154&postcount=923 (Just Jughead Jiggz)

Not really an issue though since this isn't a request thread.

I'd also like to know how often Steelia uploads his textures that he features on his channel? It looks like he has so many, but there are no DL links for them?

This also happens when you do the update for TvC.

Basically it updates the cIOS or mIOS (? guess) and you end up having to reinstall one of them (I don't remember which, installing both is quick and easy anyways).

So if you have these games, just have the cIOS / mIOS installer on your SD card if you want to use the GC hacks.

Alternatively, you can download the HBC app called "Gecko OS", and use that as a loophole; it loads whatever game you have, bypassing the installer. It's primarily used as a cheating device, but just have codes turned off (or have none at all), and you're totally fine. I believe it's version 1.9.4 at the moment.

random question, would it be possible to burn a disc with everything unlocked, eliminating the need of a memory card?

A bunch of texture links

I looked through the entire thread for links of user-created content, and I found very little outside of the Stack Smash realm. Apart from Steelia, SleepyK, and qual's work, there isn't much. However, there is enough to be interesting. Specifically, there are links from me, Rice, DNS, and most interestingly, Mario_and_Sonic_Guy. I'm just posting them here for now.

GodFed's textures
Pinstripe Falcon - CaBu - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PTJ8TXMM
Ronald McFalcon - CaNr - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Y0I2C8VY
Gold/Black Roy - FeBu - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M8R6DAWY
Gold/Black Roy - FeGr - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2U2XHTR7
Gold/Black Roy - FeNr -http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WSGUIXE7
Gold/Black Roy - FeRe - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DL7KABE3
Gold/Black Roy - FeYe - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7BM55TVX
Black/Red Mewtwo - MtNr - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DMPZZHTJ
Black Pikachu - PkNr - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NV64SEP9
(I thought I had more, but I guess I never made download links for them)

Rice's textures
Purple Falco - FcRe - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CS3YDPFT
(I assume this one's purple, too) - FcGr - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NXICG37F

'DNS' textures
Dark Marth - MsBk - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=91AVS9HK

Mario_and_Sonic_Guy textures (there's a lot of them)

http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=3302.0
Follow the link and go halfway down the page or so for his Melee hacks. He has a lot, like 25 different texture hacks. Go check them out, if you haven't already.

For many many more textures, go to Stack Smash - http://illusorylabyrinth.wordpress.com/

That's that. Next up is some more work on the first post, as well as making more textures and sound effects. :p

currently it isn't since we don't know enough.
is it possible in brawl? the saving is internal + sd card so i know it's easier...
i'm just assuming the game checks for unlockables via data written on the memory card, so the code that checks for said data would have to be rewritten.
