Okay so I have been messing around with stages again lately ever since I got my Wii U. I have decided to do my own custom build of Project M but I work 7 days a week so progress is coming along slowly. Unlike others my goal is to modify the game as little as possible. I only want to include the custom stage expansion and add in some awesome stages. No huge music overhauls or character costumes that just feel wrong. I want it to feel like a genuine extension to the game and not an obvious departure. This is not to say that I do not enjoy the other custom builds or appreciate their aims, but my taste is simply different.

Most importantly I am working on finishing my HD 64 stages, but this time each stage has a full 3D animated background and each with be included in the first release. As a teaser I am releasing my Battlefield 64 HD stage (linked above). I have redone the textures since Rage's were not at all aligned properly and added a kickass background that really makes the stage more appealing. Also I think most of you will love the song I found that redoes the original stage music. Unfortunately I do not have any screens or videos since I can't really record on my Wii U yet, but I just ordered a Roxio HD Pro capture card so that will change as soon as it gets here.

Just trust me this stage is freaking awesome. One of my best. If your using Battlefield 64 in your build just replace it with this one and I am sure you will be delighted.

But enough about that. To elaborate on the goals of this project a bit more. What I am doing is really just making a custom build with stages that I feel are more awesome an competitive and well as professional and complete. No half done or lazy stages. Also canon is important in this project, so don't expect any Dragonball Z stages or something like that. Lastly I will be remastering some of the music tracks that need more spice. I do not want to replace most of the music but only add in higher resolution tracks if possible.

Also I have several years experience in audio editing so I will be fixing up some of the blander tracks as much as possible so the music feels consistent on each stage. The bass will boom and the highs will make you feel high... at least that is the hope. But again this will probably take some time to complete (because of my busy schedule) in entirety so I will be releasing in bits and pieces until the first release to keep everyone interested.

I have more done but I'll start with just this stage for now until I can get some screens and videos up. I hope you enjoy!

You do know that Brawl itself can take screenshots from the pause menu and be saved onto your SD card, right?

 

[Rage83]

Sorry No Pics yet but that will change soon when I get my capture card.

Cool. Also, this time you were delicate about my textures.

 

[EdgeTheLucas]

Can't wait to see some pics and videos.

 

[Timde9]

Yeah I remember doing something like that. I am getting used to all this stuff again so I guess I forgot. I'll see if I can get some good ones next time I play.

 

[210stuna]

Sweet gravy baby biscuits of barbeque sauce bacon flavored goodness you're back.

Good to see you're still alive and kicking with new stages to spare.

 

[Rage83]

EDIT:

Mind if I get those screenshots? I'll be patching my ISO with your new Battlefield 64 in a bit.

 

[uCooL]

Awesome, I'll Make the SSS stuff and post it here for everyone to use

feel free to use these guys:

Thanks. If you guys don't mind, then i'll put together a BV submission with these.(You two being collabed[credited if it bugs out] of course)

I'm "Murio" on BV

 

[Timde9]

I'd rather you not put in on BV just yet please. I will do it when I have a few more stages so I can make one submission instead of 7. As far as screenshots go. I tried using the sd card but it didn't seem to actually save anything. I'll just wait for the capture card unless someone has a tutorial or something.

pics with a cell phone are better than no pics at all at least.

EDIT: Maybe We could work together on a build....

Check for a file in rsbe/al .

These look amazing.

These look amazing.

Agreed!

 

[Timde9]

Thank you. There's more to come also working on saffron and dreamland but they are not ready for screens

 

[Renji64]

is this bf wifi safe i wanna use this is it is dope.

 

[Galaga]

Great googly moogly. I'll take some of these thanks!

 

[Xenozoa425]

Pretty cool use of the Shadow Bug background. Though I think something similar to the ripped sky background might work better for Battlefield 64.

 

[Timde9]

I honestly don't even know how to tell if a stage is wifi safe other than testing it over wifi and I don't have any wifi friends right now. I play locally with friends so I dunno. I can't really say any more than that since I don't know the criterion on which "wifi safe" is based.

Hey feel free to try it out man. Background swaps are not too terrible to pull off. If not I may do it at a later date just to see it, but for now my attention is on other stages which need much more attention.

For the stage to be wifi safe, it would have to be the exact same size as Project M's Battlefield as well as have the same collisions. If you used a port of N64 Battlefield as a base, then there's probably some differences with that.

Not that whether something is wifi safe or not will matter in a couple months anyway.

 

[Xenozoa425]

Play a match on default 3.02 Battlefield and save a replay, then replace the stage PAC with the new Battlefield, and then view the replay. If everything goes exactly the same as when you were playing, it's Wi-Fi safe.

 

[Timde9]

Well then it is definitely not wifi-safe since it is based on the original (not the brawl sized) battlefield 64.

 

[210stuna]

The original BF64 stage has a trippy background though, I like the OP's taste.

 

[Timde9]

for those who like to see Battlefield 64 in action here is a short video!

will be releasing another stage in the next few days as well

 

[210stuna]

You ever thinking about recreating the original 64 Battlefield background in "HD" for originality and options?

 

[Rage83]

I have the HD retextured BG images for N64, but the problem with it is that they're long, thin strips that combine to make a very large image, and that I don't know how to combine them in the first place. :/

 

[210stuna]

^^

What?

 

[CardiganBoy]

Those backgrounds!
Do you have any plans on improving the stage models, like for example the trees on Peach's Castle to make them not flat?

 

[Xermo]

^^

What?

He means the BG is divided into segments as such:

Of course, it's much harder to identify what pieces connect when you're working with an abstract background.

 

[210stuna]

That makes sense when talking about the background image, for a second I thought he meant the actual stage it self.

Which is why I was confused.

 

[Timde9]

combining the backgrounds is tedious and annoying but doesn't require any significant amount of skill. Just about an hour with photoshop and an eye for pixel placement. I can do it if you really want but I prefer dynamic backgrounds personally and it will have to wait a while.

Yeah I have thought about it a few times. Actually I am thinking of modeling saffron city from scratch for a 3d background for the saffron city stage.

 

[Timde9]

Sorry for double post but Peach's Castle is released. Enjoy. Again no icon or SSS yet but don't worry they are coming. Also please do not upload to brawl vault I will do it myself soon. Enjoy!

sorry its not in hd this time, forgot to set the recording to 1080p

Also will be updating the top post with my youtube channel link I am uploading videos of other stages to come as we speak so check back later to see them all.

 

[Mewtwo_2000]

Keeping the texture shading would make it look better, it's too flat-colored the way it is.

 

[Timde9]

Sorry for the delayed response, I went through a move this last week. I wasn't aware I removed any shading however I did have to lower the resolution of my textures compared to my previous version to make the stage work.

 

[MarioLuigi2]

You ever thinking about recreating the original 64 Battlefield background in "HD" for originality and options?

Would a background like this work for you? Its also taken from the Subspace Emissary but I feel that it looks a bit more like the original N64 background.

Spoiler

 

[Timde9]

Your gonna have to post a video of that. Looks pretty similar to mine though. I was thinking about doing some flames in the background like I imagine the original is trying to depict.

 

[MarioLuigi2]

Alright, heres a video of the stage in action.

The reason why the stage looks similar to yours is because the main platform is from your HD remake, all I did was swap out the background with something that I felt looked closer to the N64 background compared to the one you originally chose.
This is the stage that I got the background from.
