Question about this again...

In the stage compilation thread, just about every single level in there replaces Wifi Waiting Room. I'm guessing they still replace Wifi Waiting Room regardless of what stage you map the button combo to select them to?

Also, surely there is another stage that's easy to replace instead of Wifi Training Room that won't keep making sandbag spawn... or are the rest harder to work with due to stuff like more complex backgrounds?

I like sandbag in Wifi Waiting Room, and wouldn't want him in any of the SSE stages. Therefore I don't want to disable him altogether.

 

[Akuma2120]

I like sandbag in Wifi Waiting Room, and wouldn't want him in any of the SSE stages. Therefore I don't want to disable him altogether.

I think this is impossible, if you kill off the sandbag in the waiting room, then it will kill him for every version of the waiting room, even when you're using it online

If you want to kill him, here's the one for New Pork City without Sandbag

New Pork City is now Online Waiting Room(NO SANDBAG):
C298D528 00000003
2C060031 40820008
38C00005 60000000

A37A0022 2C1B0020
40820008 3B600037
60000000 00000000

 

[mofo_]

well if you want to keep the sandbag then just try switching the stages with final destination or configure test since they are both all flat and no platforms or obstacles

 

[Alphatron]

This is barely related, but I added this to the brawl+ txt and code manager is giving me that problem where it says it can't go over 256 lines.

 

[Dantarion]

I could make something that does that, but....first off, some new findings.
Akuma is right, there is only 256 bytes of space for the data, meaning 32 lines before we run into something else. I am about to use a different method that will make Gecko's code limit the only limit on the game.

Right now, my code works by writing the data from the codelist(in memory) to tmp space(in memory).
The asm routine then reads the data from that space. Its essentially loaded twice. Once in a variable location (the codelist) another in a static position(the tmp space). What I really want to do is right the position of the first copy of the data to the tmp space. Then, the asm outine could find the data based on 4 bytes of information in the tmp space, as opposed to needing to copy the data twice just so I can find it.

This might apply to all the other codes that exist so far that use data.

You should be able to just hit yes and continue. It's worked for me.

 

[Alphatron]

You should be able to just hit yes and continue. It's worked for me.

It doesn't give me that option. Ocarina code manager just says that it has too many lines. I have gameconfig.txt in the root of my SD card so I'm not sure what the problem is.

 

[mofo_]

perhaps youre using an old version

 

[Akuma2120]

I am about to use a different method that will make Gecko's code limit the only limit on the game.

This might apply to all the other codes that exist so far that use data.

Will we have to re-write our ASL Data? Or just the ASL code itself? I'm guessing just the code but just want a heads up, and will this be compatible with other codes that use data(ie: Throw Modifier), it won't mess with anything right?

Eh, sorry for stupid questions, I know you'll be able to make things work out

It doesn't give me that option. Ocarina code manager just says that it has too many lines. I have gameconfig.txt in the root of my SD card so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Try using the cheat code manager from the homebrew browser, that works fine for me


Also, off-topic question for anyone else who might know, my brawl+ freezes on corneria after 30 seconds every time and has frequent freezes after a match ends, I made a thread for this but no one answered

 

[Alphatron]

I did and it worked. Thanks guys.

 

[Dantarion]

v1.1 is out.

 

[STUFF2o]

What's DED FADEDEAD supposed to mean?

 

[Akuma2120]

v1.1 is out.

AHA! Success! It works perfectly, good job, now all that's left is the custom songs and then it's mission complete

What's DED FADEDEAD supposed to mean?

Who cares, don't touch it lol

 

[omni_destroyer]

Thanks, Dantarion. The code works for me, as well.

 

[LegendarySuperMario]

Hello again... I just tested out the new code and I must say it's a big improvement over the last one. But I seem to be having a problem with quitting stages. Every time I try to leave a stage (L+R+A+START) with the Classic Controller... My Wii freezes! I didn't test it any further to see if I could end the stage by winning the match though so if anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it!

Here's my data that I'm currently using:

I also tried many different Geckos and took out the E0000000 80008000 line as well. I really want to try this out but it doesn't want to co-operate. I'm not sure if this helps but I'm using an official Brawl disc. I just want to have my Subspace Emissary stages for tourneys with my friends... They really enjoyed the dead Master Hand level as do I.

I'm guessing not - you should probably be using Hex 26, which is 1A

I'm not sure why this isn't working. I have 10 online training stages and I want them to appear

file patch code 4.0 for this? Because I am currently using 3.5.1.

That looks fine to me. Not sure why you are getting crashes.

Since the wiimote doesn't have a value for its A button, I decided to ditch the combinations. This code has it set up so that stages will work with down on the dpad, the + button, and also the 1 button.

Unfortunately, for whatever reason the only stage that works is down on the dpad. Can anyone help me with why this is happening?

 

[LegendarySuperMario]

You took out the l2nd to last line. Without it the code doesn't know where to stop searching for more data.

Got it and it mostly works now. Except for the fact that the +/B buttom combination on the wiimote always fails(start+B works on GC though). I've compared the two and tried them constantly, but the +/B never works. Is it just me?

 

[LegendarySuperMario]

I only have 1 more problem now... My button activators work for both Final Destination and Battlefield. But NOT the Wi-Fi Waiting Room! I don't even know why they don't since my textures still come up randomly and even when they do my Tabuu Destination NEVER does.

Here's my code yet again:

It's not that hard to use. There's a step by step guide right under the codes.

 

[Mit]

I hear ya. There are some confusing steps for those of us who have never done anything like this. All I've done is copypasta codes into code files, compile them, and use them. Anyhow, I'm gonna use Akuma's example to figure it out later tonight. He replaced tons of different stages and used plenty of different button combos as well:

Here's my code, tell me if I have something wrong:

33 lines, so 33 x 8 = 264 ->(Convert to hex) = 108

This is correct right?

You can try it yourself, all my button combinations are A+Y, A+X, and A+Z and always fro _A, _B, and _C,
A+Y = _A, A+X = _B, A+Z = _C

It's really simple, and again, cutting down to 32 lines will let brawl boot, any higher and it won't, and I check the bytecount each time

Idk if that's right, I'm using version 1 at the moment and still haven't changed. If that's right, then the orange part says there are 2 lines of stage code +1 (excluding the FADEDEAD line and the one after it, I'm assuming that's accounted for automatically?), the yellow equaling battlefield, the red saying I have one button activator, the blue saying I have 0 random ones, then the green saying I use A+L (on the GC ctrllr) to activate it, and the light green saying the additional texture's name is _A (STGBATTLEFIELD_A.pac).

 

[Eldiran]

I just wrote a super-lengthy tutorial to help someone out, so I am going to post it here and see if alleviates some of the problems. (I did it right, didn't I?)

So, to start! This tutorial will show you how to allow up to 26 random stages for the WiFi Waiting Room, and that is all. What you need to do is take what is in the first code box and paste it into the text file you keep all your codes. So, paste this:

DATADATA DATADATA
00000DED FADEDEAD
E0000000 80008000

Put that in your code text file.

That second part, "Alternate Stage Loader Data v1.1" is what you need to edit. We'll ignore the LLLL until we fill out the DATADATA DATADATA.

So, in place of DATADATA DATADATA we need the data in the format he specified... which is:

FOR EACH ORIGINAL STAGE YOU HAVE REPLACEMENTS FOR:
SSSSSSSS BBRR0000 
-----------------------------
SSSSSSSS  = Stage ASCII Data(Take from the chart below)
BB = number of replacement stages with button activators (Max 26 _A-_Z)
RR = Number of Randomly Selected Textures (Max 26 _A-_Z)
---------------------------------

So, in place of SSSSSSSS (what used to be our first DATADATA) we want the value for WiFi Waiting Room. According to Dant's chart, this is

STGONLINETRAINING.PAC (ONLI)
4f4e4c49

Next, the BB -- we don't want any button activators, so that is just 00. Since we want 26 stages, we put the Hex value for 26 in place of RR. That's 1A.

So the end result for your DATA line is 4F4E4C49 001A0000.

For LLLL it says:

LLLL = The number of lines of stage data, +1. If you have 9 lines of stage data, input 10, which is A in hex, so "000A"

In this case we have 1 line, so LLLL will be 0002.

The final result for your Data section is:

Alternate Stage Loader Data v1.1
46000010 00000000
44000000 005A7D00
66200002 00000000
4F4E4C49 001A0000
00000DED FADEDEAD
E0000000 80008000

And that should about wrap it all up!

 

[sinistersnakesennin]

I managed to get this to work after figuring out that the numbers of lines of stage data+1 had to be in hex.
For example, 19 lines+1=20 lines, which is then 14 in hex. Effectively 0014.

After that, it worked like a dream. Now, on to customizing it with my custom stage selection textures.

10010001 00000000
10020002 00000000
10040005 00000000

46494e41 00050000
00000DED FADEDEAD
E0000000 80008000

Okay, let's break it down:
46000010 00000000
44000000 005A7D00 Nothing to do here, just copying the original code.

66200008 00000000 It's 0008 because there are 7 lines of data before the 00000DED FADEDEAD line (7+1=8).

4f4e4c49 050F0000 The 4f4e4c49 is the ASCII Data for the Online Waiting Room.
The 05 means that there are 5 button activated stages.
The 0F means that their are 15 randomly selected stages (15 in hex is 0F).

10000000 00000000 The 1000 means that the button activator is Start on the GC controller
The 00 means that this button will load STGONLINETRAINING_A.PAC

10010001 00000000 The 1001 means that the button activator is Left+Start (1+1000)
The 01 means that STGONLINETRAINING_B.PAC will be loaded.

10020002 00000000 The 1002 means that the button activator is Right+Start (2+1000)
The 02 means that STGONLINETRAINING_C.PAC will be loaded.

10040005 00000000 The 1004 means that the button activator is Down+Start (4+1000)
The 05 means that STGONLINETRAINING_F.PAC will be loaded.

10080007 00000000 The 1008 means that the button activator is Up+Start (8+1000)
The 07 means that STGONLINETRAINING_H.PAC will be loaded.

46494e41 00050000 The 46494e41 is the ASCII Data for Final Destination.
The 00 means that there are no button activated stages.
The 05 means that there are 5 randomly selected stages.

00000DED FADEDEAD
E0000000 80008000 Again, nothing to do here; just copy and paste.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


So, altogether, this code will load specific stages for the Online Waiting Room when Left+Start, Right+Start, Down+Start, Up+Start, or just Start are pressed. If no buttons are held down, a randomly selected stage out of 15 total will be loaded. This code will also randomly select one of 5 textures for Final Destination.

Hopefully this helps, because it took very long to type up.

ok so I have 5 online practice stage replacements and I need to have a certain button combination for GCN and maybe wiimote+nunchuk but I mostly use the GCN controller so we'll use that.
I copied this code:

46000010 00000000
44000000 005A7D00
6620LLLL 00000000
DATADATA DATADATA
00000DED FADEDEAD
E0000000 80008000

what do I need to change it to make these 5 appear instead of the regular OPS? I kinda want it to be like hold L+A = _A.pac, R+A = _B.pac, Z+A = _C.pac, X+A = _D.pac, Y+A = _E.pac and just regular A to be the original OPS.

i still need help. i dont know what i did wrong i had it set for 6 stages for WWR and it would freeze when i picked new pork (i have the WWR is now new pork code). also i still cant get this working with the alternate file loader. it would just stay at gecko. if someone can help me it would be great.

Eldiran, MattMan, thanks for the help.

I think I will add links to your posts in the OP so that people can read them and try to figure the code out.
To be honest, if no one finds anymore bugs, I am done with this. The song injection is the only thing I might work on, but to be honest...Its probably not gonna happen for a while.
