Pokemon Stadium 2

So I was wondering if anyone has any experience in editing Stadium 2 and would be willing to help me out with a project? All help is appreciated.

I can take a look at it if you want.

Sure, why not. The download is here. If that download doesn't work please let me know asap.

I can't see anything. Try using Mediafire or Drop Box instead.

I've put it on DropBox, try this.

Dang man, this stage is glitchy as hell. The effects even carry over to my CSS!

But anyway, first thing I noticed is that your image of Poketopia is not properly sized. IIRC, for character and stage textures, the only numbers you can use for sizes are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, and 1024, or they won't work right in game. I might be wrong, but then again I never really do anything too extreme when it comes to textures.

I also spent a while trying to work from scratch and use a basic 2D model and a Poketopia texture, and it shows up fine in Brawlbox, but it's invisible in game, and I have no idea why. I'll take a look at it some more tomorrow, but in the meantime you can use this image instead of the one you're currently using. It's a bit higher quality, larger so that it covers more background space, and it only increases your file size by a few kilobytes when used in CMPR format. For rough reference, I scaled its bones to 10,5,5, and set it about 600 units up vertically and about -3000 units back.

Haha yeah this stage is a lot of trouble, but thanks for all the data you've just provided me with I really appreciate your help! I actually forgot about the power of 2 for a second. As for why the first one might not be showing up outside of Brawlbox, did you check the CullMode values? They might be set so the stage pieces don't appear.
On my end though I've been working on something a bit different. I've actually got my hands on a PBR ISO and I'm gonna use Wii Scrubber to view the files in order to see if they use the same model type. That way if Poketopia is it's own model I might be able to port it directly into the stage, which might actually be easier than trying to insert an image, but wee'll see about all of that soon.
Anyways, best of luck to both of us!
Edit: Nevermind on the PBR part, the files in Partition 0 are all WAD files. There's only 3 ARC files in there.

Yeah I did check the cull modes for the image, tried all 4 formats and it still didn't show up for some odd reason.
