How would you go about modding the closed port textures? I tried doing some editing but there's some weird transparency conflicts sometimes with half of the port showing (top-right) or sometimes with it fully showing, idk it's hard to explain

DAT Texture Wizard.

Looks like you've been looking for this for a while. It's stickied at the top of the textures forum though.

I have a question does using those shield mods change how the color of the shields behave because I tested them in 20xx 3.02 and they were all red no matter what costume or port they were on, but when I put on green and blue teams the shield colors changed. I was using Alex's shield 3 mod specifically.

Also AlexIsStarving AlexIsStarving your shield 3 is actually shield 2 duplicated

Shouldn't affect the colors at all. They're black-and-white textures, and the colors are then determined by code. So IDK what you were seeing happening.

Most of that is explanation on the texture. But there are also directions for editing the texture in GIMP in the spoiler that says "Creating CSS panels in GIMP".

I seen this, multiple times, but where does it teach me how to use it to modify skins, like change the color of falcons boots for example. All I see is a preview of what it looks like and a changelog of the changes from the previous version

Here's a small glimpse at a project I'm working on...

I'm planning on remaking the SSBM cast's textures, as well as stages (eventually)!

If you can see textures, then you can select textures and use the menu at the top called Texture Operations to choose "Export Texture(s)", or right-click on the texture to choose the same option. Then edit the texture in photoshop or GIMP or something, and import that edited texture back into the DAT file, over the original (again, Texture Operations menu option "Import Texture", or right-click on the texture). If that doesn't explain it, what is confusing?

The program has a help menu btw, and also comes with a ReadMe file that should explain everything about it.

Does anyone have the character select screen with the darkness effect / colors on the hand?

There was also darkness effects for several characters but I can't find the dropbox / posts anymore, any help?

This skin is my second favorite out of all my other work. Please enjoy.
Also, i included both .rat and .lat versions so you can use it in 20XX! Just replace which ever one you dont want to use.

you're looking for the changing color effects thread. It should be in there. Google "changing color effects in melee."
Unfortunately, that thread isnt as organised as this one, but i think that thread is mainly for the sake of tutorial and discussion. If you do go through the pages you will find some dank stuff.

i replaced the textures in the mnslchr.usd, as well as in the original ifall.dat, but they didn't show up in game so those weren't the correct files i assume. but half the textures in the ifal0.usd and ifal1.usd wouldn't show up in DTW. should i be using something else?

Alchemy circle is so sick. Slow poke circle made me think of this:

Could be a could shield in the same style.

ok, since this doesn't seem to be working with DTW (or any other program i try for that matter), is there a way to convert a stock icon to hex and then paste it in to the ifal0.usd/ifal1.usd files? the issues there are 1) idk the offsets where the icons are located 2) idk how to convert png to hex. is there an easy way to do that in cmd? i could probably figure out the offsets if i knew how to convert

EDIT: AlexIsStarving AlexIsStarving i'll check that first, thanks

Make sure your dtw is up to date. Cause it should be there and you should be able to replace almost everything.

Anyone up to the task of making Freddie Mercury a Captain Falcon costume? I'm working on getting some audio of Freddie vocalizing "YEAH" to replace Falcon's "Yes!" on his up+B.

okay so here's the results of my endeavors so far.

since my textures absolutely will not show up in DTW, i switched to opening these files in a hex editor:
-IfAll.usd from an absolutely unmodded melee filesystem
-IfAl0.usd from vanilla 4.05 root files
-IfAl1.usd from vanilla 4.05 root files
-MnSlChr.usd from vanilla 4.05 root files

the only ones that matter are the IfAll.usd and the IfAl0.usd, since IfAl0.usd is the one that determines the stock icons, as i discovered. however, what i did changed the stock icon in all the files quite strangely. essentially, i found that the offset and following block which contains red ness's stock icon, 0xc4c80 until the beginning of 0xc4da0, had the same string of hex as the corresponding block in BOTH IfAl0.usd and IfAl1.usd. also, the same string of hex appears at the offset 0x378020 in MnSlChr.usd.

original block of hex:


so, i thought, if i simply replace its texture with my desired texture in DTW and then copy the new block of hex into IfAl0.usd, it should work.

new block of hex:


so i did this, and i got a very weird result:
this is the image i'd like to replace it with:

this is the image i got:


anyone know what the issue is?

EDIT: i always seem to solve my own issues after posting. i never copied the palette data over so it was reading from the original ness stock icon palette

Looking for a project so maybe. Maybe not that exact picture but I'll use Freddie and queen for inspiration. Audio hacking is also difficult for me :c but for u bby, I'll try cause ily

And as far as I know audio isn't tied to costumes and can't be.

EDIT: Falcon's textures are confusing and i dont feel like figuring it out at this very moment. But when I do i'll probably do this.

IfAl0.usd = IfAll file used if "PAL STOCK ICONS: OFF"

IfAl1.usd = IfAll file used if "PAL STOCK ICONS: ON"


Anutim made a post somewhere on these forums and found out you could take the PAL IfAll file, and copy a huge chunk of image data (stock icons) and paste it into an NTSC IfAll file. Doing so will change the icons to the PAL images [smaller].


After I implemented this feature, I figured out how to change the stock icon scale as they are loaded in-game with code - instead of needing a completely new file. So ideally, IfAl1.usd will be removed in the future.
