P:M Plug+Play .RELs (Module Files) Want to Port Ridley? Come here!/Modding FAQ

[PyotrLuzhin]

When you rename a sawnd file to a different character's sawnd (ie: using a sonic sawnd and renaming it to mario's id), the game will freeze. (atleast without the soundbank code)

Yep, exactly. You can't do that because of the way the game's files are indexed. Perhaps there's a way to store new soundbanks in unused memory and redirect entries in the game's pointer table to those previously unused areas, but I've never experimented with that - I have enough on my plate as it is right now lol

 

[oddzxc]

Thanks again! Although I think I worded my original message wrong lol. I have replaced the Marth.rel over Dedede's .rel, but I would to keep using Dedede's 12.sawnd file (instead of Marth's) so that I can further replace each individual sound effect in Super Sawndz.

(Basically I am replacing a Lucina PSA over Dedede via the Marth.rel, I have done everything except the sound effects which I am totally lost at.)

you're using my mod?, honestly i'm surprised

 

[oddzxc]

I'm sorry to say this but the replacing the soundbanks is extremely confusing, is it possible for someone to understand to do a youtube video of a full explanation, if that is possible

I'll try to explain it clearly here, and if a youtube video is necessary, I will look into doing it.

2. Go to THIS WEBSITE, or any hexadecimal calculator
3. Using the hexadecimal calculator, multiply your character's ID by 20 (the Character Offset).
4. Using the same hexadecimal calculator, add 9E0 to the Character Offset

After following the above steps, you now have the XXX portion of 04AD8XXX.

To obtain the second part of the code, refer to the soundbank list in the OP.


Inserting codes:

1. Download THIS program, HxD
2. Open up your RSBE01.gct in HxD
3. Press Ctrl+F, and paste "F0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00" into the "Search for" field
4. Select "hex-values" from the datatype drop-down menu
5. Copy the code you just made
6. Paste the code you just made right before the "F0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00"
7. Save your RSBE01.gct

 

[TooSlow!]

Thanks for making these, man, I got calikingz01's majin vegeta working over DK.

 

[TooSlow!]

Dry bones over lucas with lucario rel works as well.

 

[PyotrLuzhin]

Dry bones over lucas with lucario rel works as well.

interesting... I wouldn't have expected Lucas to work with Lucario's module. Have you tried a luigi clone with a mario .rel?

 

[TooSlow!]

Nope. I don't use the brawlex build so I can't have clones anyway.

 

[QuickLava]

Nope. I don't use the brawlex build so I can't have clones anyway.

I believe he means to ask if you've used a Luigi moveset over Mario using the appropriate p+p module.

 

[TooSlow!]

Oh. Still no though, I kinda wanna keep mario but I'll try it if I can find a good luigi psa

 

[TooSlow!]

i'll have to test on dolphin, sd card's not workin

 

[PyotrLuzhin]

I'll save you the trouble haha, it appears that it loads Luigi, but graphical effects fail to load and his fireball crashes the game,

Hi! I tried to port the Marth .rel over Olimar in PM, but it would just freeze at the beginning of the match before the announcer says: "GO!" it freezes. Anyway to fix this? Or has this always been a bug with Olimar in the first place?

How did you install it? Did you follow the directions?

Try it in training mode, and then let me know if it freezes.

 

[TooSlow!]

Yeah. Most errors can be solved by re-replacing the files

 

[OmegaMalkior]

Tried in training mode, and even re-ported the P+P Marth .rel over Pikmin, using the basic Marth PM psa with the costumes and everything, and still freezes at before it says "GO!" :/.

Okay, I'll look at it this weekend. Also, now that development on PM has ceased, I will release a build of vanilla PM with the remaining clone slots opened and in functional states. You will be able to use my P+P .rels to fill those slots.

YES! LORD PYOTR YOU SAVED US

 

[??Sanic Hedgehog??]

Welp PM Knuckles is a thing now, Is a Knuckles P + P Rel happening?

Of course! I have yet to crack open the dev build, but you better believe I'll set it all up

Thank you so much..

 

[NXero]

The 5 slots can be potentially combined with your alloy engine for a total of 8 (9?) slots, all of this without the need for BrawlEX, right? That's a lot more than I'll ever need. At least one good thing came out of this mess.
Are you gonna make a tutorial to set up the clones' cosmetics and sfx when you release the builds?

It will be 9 slots, and you better believe it. I'll explain the entire process, but everyone needs to understand one thing: it's impossible to make a clone module without a remote debugger of some kind. Every clone is created on a character-by-character basis, with special codes created to patch out any glitches.

 

[??Sanic Hedgehog??]

The only Characters I need in PM is
[x] Knuckles
[x] Lyn
[x] Isaac
[x] Waluigi
[ ] Shadow
[x] Ridley
[x] OoT Ganon
The only PSA that doesn't exist for PM is Shadow. Although I will add these characters through the Cloning Engine you talked about.

 

[PyotrLuzhin]

I've updated the character IDs in the OP for anyone curious about the dev build. It seems like Toon Zelda's ID is still unused...

 

[OmegaMalkior]

Any luck with the Marth over Olimar port?

 

[TooSlow!]

Just re-replace the files and module. This happened to me with porting a pika psa over dk and porting a pit psa over marth.

Sound will be an issue, Lyn, Waluigi (at least to my knowledge), and Ridley all use Pit's soundbank.

Bagan said that he will eventually make a Soundbank where Ridley's Voice is over Meta Ridley.

 

[Cahalan]

I personally wont mind having the Wa, Ridley, and the forbidden four in a future build... though if I want to release it publicly, then PM's 4 scrapped characters have to be made from the ground up (using none of the models from the dev builds). Maybe in the future I can use Bomberman and Banjo, but we'll see...

Also when you make the almighty clone engine tutorial be sure to cover adding the css slots, espcially since some people use custom CSS layouts like Ondo's Out of the Box CSS.

Im using a port (with your rels) of OOT Ganondorf over Isaac. how would I set things up for him to point to OOT Ganon's soundbank, and not Toon Link's(Isaac doesn't have his own SFX set up, but has his own slot and points to Toon link's sounds)?

 

[TeiunBomb]

Just so you know, the link for the Ridley modules are down.

 

[Rage83]

Can confirm OOT Ganon port over Isaac works correctly.

 

[PyotrLuzhin]

Good to know, I'll reupload them soon on a hosting service that isn't terrible.

Mediafire is your best friend then.

By chance did you get to see my question about getting OOT Ganon's SFX to work with him being ported over Isaac?

Check OP and go over the Soundbank Code. If you have trouble with it, let me know!

I am having troubles with it, thanks. Specifically the whole adding 9E0 + Character ID*4 thing.

9E0+2B*4 = A8C. Use that as your XXX
