[Modset4.2] Open BrawlBox/Lib Development Thread [PW's SSS support(PAT0 editing)]

[Kryal]

Finished porting. I may release soon.


Do I have to delete these lines?

state._scale._x = (float)Math.Round(Math.Sqrt(p[0] * p[0] + p[1] * p[1] + p[2] * p[2]), 4);
state._scale._y = (float)Math.Round(Math.Sqrt(p[4] * p[4] + p[5] * p[5] + p[6] * p[6]), 4);
state._scale._z = (float)Math.Round(Math.Sqrt(p[8] * p[8] + p[9] * p[9] + p[10] * p[10]), 4);

No, you don't need to remove them. That's how you get the scale values.

I didn't clarify what I meant about the problem with scaling. The problem with distortion is unavoidable, simply because that's how scaling works. It distorts the matrix. Open any modeling program and apply scale + rotate and you'll see the same thing.

It appears that rotating a bone that is affected by scaling causes the rotation to be irregular at certain points. This is most likely due to the use of the frame matrices, which have scaling applied. What you will probably need to do is replace the use of frame matrices and construct new ones by stripping out the scale values.

Get the effective scale from the frame matrix like so:

ScaleX = sqrt(00² + 01² + 02²)
ScaleY = sqrt(04² + 05² + 06²)
ScaleZ = sqrt(08² + 09² + 10²)

Multiply the inverse (1 / scale) by each value in the column. Leave the 4th column alone because this holds a valid world location for the bone. You can then use this matrix to convert to/from local-space. I may be easier just to show you...

Ah,I may have understood your words.

        public Matrix GetProperMatrix()
        {
            Matrix m = this;
            float ScaleX, ScaleY, ScaleZ;
            fixed(float* p=_values)
            {
                ScaleX = (float)Math.Sqrt(p[0] * p[0] + p[1] * p[1] + p[2] * p[2]);
                ScaleY = (float)Math.Sqrt(p[4] * p[4] + p[5] * p[5] + p[6] + p[6]);
                ScaleZ = (float)Math.Sqrt(p[8] * p[8] + p[9] * p[9] + p[10] * p[10]);
            }
            for (var i = 0; i < 12; i++)
            {
                if (i == 0 || i == 4 || i == 8)
                    m[i] /= ScaleX;
                else if (i == 1 || i == 5 || i == 9)
                    m[i] /= ScaleY;
                else if (i == 2 || i == 6 || i == 10)
                    m[i] /= ScaleZ;
            }
            return m;
        }

I do need to study math more.

PAT0 functions still have bugs. Wait for Modset4.1.

@pokelover
I'll post code when I finish fixing PAT0 functions.

this sounds great :D can't wait!

Ah,I may have understood your words.

        public Matrix GetProperMatrix()
        {
            Matrix m = this;
            float ScaleX, ScaleY, ScaleZ;
            fixed(float* p=_values)
            {
                ScaleX = (float)Math.Sqrt(p[0] * p[0] + p[1] * p[1] + p[2] * p[2]);
                ScaleY = (float)Math.Sqrt(p[4] * p[4] + p[5] * p[5] + p[6] + p[6]);
                ScaleZ = (float)Math.Sqrt(p[8] * p[8] + p[9] * p[9] + p[10] * p[10]);
            }

lol, it kinda looks like action script in flash :3
hope you get it work

 

[rPSIvysaur]

I cried myself to sleep last night in tears of joy.

 

[Revven]

I hope you fix those corruption issues when you save Bero.

 

[Bero]

@Shadic
BrawlBox seems to be fixed but I'm not sure.
If you don't mind, could you send me your animation file(this is best) or tell me what character motion were you editing?

EDIT
Thank you! I got your file.

 

[GeminiCrossFade]

This may not be the right place to post this and please tell me if it isn't but.
Could anyone with experiece using the Modset 4.0 brawlbox PM. Im trying to learn animating.. and even though this couldn't be any easier im still having difficulties trying to understand how to use it.

Thank you for your time

 

[DarkDragoon]

Drag and Drop Animation? I love you guys.

Now if model importing worked I'd be able to die happy...
-DD

Next week I have a lot of time on my hands (because Thanksgiving Break :D), so I'm going to spend some time trying to see if I can finish up the MDL0 format definition, or if I can't, at least fix a few of the bugs in BrawlBox 0.64.

 

[Sora Master2.0]

About the new modset, I'm loving it. I hope this isn't spam, but I'm taking a 3-D course dealing with animating. I'm far from good, but hopefully I'll get somewhere with this. I'd love to learn more and just saying keep up the gorgeous work you guys are doing. It's fantastic how far were going to make this game more awesome(us meaning you guys. =p)

 

[Bero]

Is this OK?

 

[br3compactor]

What is this, Bero?

 

[Shadic]

It seems to be working! I haven't done any extended tests on it yet, though.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

......anyone has a clue on what to input in TexFileIndex and Key?
I don't see much of a pattern here.

I'm referring to MenSelmapPreview's PATO.

 

[RandomTBush]

Well, PAT0 editing seems to be half-working now. I'm able to add new entries, but there's still one problem. It seems that while it does add new entries, it always forces them to be named "NewEntry", even when you change the ordering around... But it didn't crash for me, unlike what happened when I tried doing so with the previous version.

 

[Bero]

Fixed bug reported by RTB.

 

[br3compactor]

Please teach us how to add the new images, RandomTBrush.

The ones for stage previews, stage icons, and stage names.

 

[Dantarion]

Bero, did you change it so that you dont have to input a index number, and can instead just select the texture/palette by name?

 

[RandomTBush]

Please teach us how to add the new images, RandomTBrush.

Well, I'll let you know once I get it working. While Bero fixed the PAT0 saving, I somehow screwed up the main menu. I'm almost certain it was my fault for changing the order all around, but I made it so that every icon was blank, with Battlefield's portrait and the F-Zero emblem.

 

[Bero]

@Dantarion
In fact, I don't have an idea about index numbers. At first, I thought it was positions of textures,but this seems to be wrong. If you have an idea, please tell it to me.

Well, last BrawlBox was OK? If so, I'll update OP.

 

[Dantarion]

Here is how PAT0 works AFAIK:

PAT0 file has list of textures.
PAT0 file has list of palettes.

PAT0 file has entries, that contain a index of the texture and palette.
The game looks up a entry number, then returns the proper texture.

The issue is that BrawlBox is currently showing the index numbers as numbers, when instead it should show a dropdown box using the list of textures and palettes.

To add a new texture to a PAT0 right now, one most add the texture to the PAT0 file, then add an entry, then find the index of the texture in the PAT0 list by counting from the top, and then type in the index manually

 

[Bero]

@Dantarion
Well, for example,MenSelmapIcon.00 is first in common5/sc_selmap_en/MiscData[80]/AnmTexPat/MenSelmapIcon/iconM
But its texture is 16th in common5/sc_selmap_en/MiscData[80]/Textures.
How can I get texture indexes?

I can help cause I know kinda PAT0 very much...

Spoiler

(wow, first time I feeling useful)

it is kinda easy to find them.

in "texture file" (in the new BrawlBox Modset) you will see this.
The numbers on the side of textures name is the indexes for each texture

but if you want how to find them in hex is kinda special but i am sure you know that already

common5/sc_selmap_en/MiscData[80]/AnmTexPat/MenSelmapIcon/iconM

The indexes are the ones in the PAT0 file, for both the textures and the palettes

 

[RandomTBush]

Oop. Came across another bug.

While editing the PAT0 entry for "MenSelMapPreview", only a few out of the 147 entries show up in the list (it ends at "MenSelmapFrontStname.18" when it should end at "MenSelmapPrevbase.59"). After adding in a single new entry, it blanks out the names for all of the rest of them after saving and opening it up again...

 

[NintendoShadowMario]

Modset 4.1? Finally.

 

[pikazz]

may I request something (kinda) easy thing?

In Model view, you can export animations and replace animations.
but what happened if we give it one more option?
"replace with only rotations". it is like the replacement but instead for all, it only replace the rotations in a whole animation :3

 

[br3compactor]

Pointless as it's currently possible AND easy.

EDIT:

Sugestion.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!! Create a box that you can check in the model previewer that allows you to see the other models in the .pac.

This would be the stage makers lifesaver. It would make stage creation 10 times easier not to have to look every single time in the collision previewer, then go back to modding the model, then go check it out again.

The other models could have a slightly lower opacity but that's not really needed.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

That might be too taxing on the program, but it would be nice to have that feature.

 

[Sora Master2.0]

May I request a tool or switch that switches between move and rotate? The new drag and drop animating is awesome, and it would be improved with a move tool. Or maybe there is one I don't know about?

That box idea would make life alot easier.

 

[HeavenBot]

If at all possible, is there any chance there could be multiple animations running at once?
An example being the previously stated "all model" check box. You have all models out, and you run one animation involving only one model, and another involving a separate model at the same time.

 

[Akuma2120]

So is it possible to change the icons for stages with the stage roster expansion with the newest release?

Anyone mind just giving me the gist of what you have to do if it is possible, I couldn't understand any of the previous comments in this thread.

 

[Captain Kwark]

I have a problem with PAT0 editing. What I did was adding three new entries and named them MenSelmapIcon.70, 71 and 72 and put in new textures with the same names.

Then I've changed the Custom SSS code to enable the newly added icons. 70 = 46 hex etc.

But the problem is it only shows the last added icon. Which is MenSelmapIcon.72.

Here is last part of the Custom SSS code.

[AMKalmar]

Is it now possible to make custom icons for the CSS? For example, a Red Alloy icon instead of using Captain Falcon's? Or... does the code itself get in the way of that?

Looking at a sc_selcharacter.pac and the info Dant provided above, I can't find a way to add CSPs for alloys...
IDK if sc_selcharacter.pac has PAT0 files.

They have, for the CSS character icons.
There in MiscData[30] from MenSelchrFaceA_TopN__0 to MenSelchrFaceI_TopN__0 in the face6 section.
Problem is, when you add a new entry, save it, close and open the file again, the whole list in face6 is wiped out.

 

[AMKalmar]

There are pat0 files for the css, I just don't know if the css codes are designed to allow for this sort of thing.

 

[Revven]

They are not (the CSS codes)

 

[Akuma2120]

Ok, um how do you open PAT0 files? And where are they exactly, even using Modset 4.1 of BB I can't see a file called PAT0 anywhere in the sc_selmap.pac in common_5
