Problems using Fox

[Enchlore]

I've done multiple tests and concluded that this problem is indeed happening with Fox: whenever I select Fox for a match, my game freezes immediately after selecting the stage and the dreaded bleep of death plays. As I write this the problem is definitely caused by selecting Fox, and neither replacing his files with backups I had laying around or deleting them altogether to keep Brawl Fox fixed the problem.

If you think any other mods I use might be causing this problems, know that I have the following in my SD card:

• A Project M-friendly Spider-Man PSA and costumes over Sheik
• Doctor Doom and Black Shadow skins for Ganondorf
• Iron Man, Mega Man X and Air Man skins for Samus (with a really weird Tony Stark skin for Zero Suit Samus)
  
• A Hulk skin for Donkey Kong
• Thor skin for Ike
  
• Captain America, Red Alloy and classic skins for Captain Falcon (the classic skin is this one)
• Yellow Alloy, Mario Strikers Charged and hatless skins for Mario
• Blue Alloy skin for Zelda
• Green Alloy skin for Kirby
• Mega Man PSA over Ness
• Zero (from Mega Man X) PSA over Peach
• Subspace Melee Battlefield stage over Battlefield
• LenSho's Subspace Emissary 2 stage over Castle Siege
• Nearly every team color skin replaced with the default skin

I don't think any of these are causing the problem, save perhaps the Mega Man and Zero mods (though Fox worked fine when I first used them and I don't see how they would affect Fox).

So, any help?

Short answer, yes, something is affecting it.

Long answer: Revert to a backup till you find a version of your backups that is ok.

Longer answer because you don't have backups: Start from a fresh build, and add each mod till you find the problem.

Shortcut answer: Try looking at your Battle Portraits sizes, see if any are bigger than they should be.
then do the same for other pics/icons.
then check your fitfox and fitmotionfox arent altered.

By "bigger than they should be" do you mean the file size? Because I have some custom CSPs that might collectively exceed the maximum file size, though I don't know what the maximum file size is (if any) and why it only freezes after choosing a stage with Fox (especially since I didn't change any of Fox's battle portraits). I'm probably going to try the longer answer method.

FileSize of each battle portrait, cant remember what the files are off the top of my head 'inffacexx' or something. They should be 2-4kb or so each

Though if those are the problem, it usually freezes at the character intro.
CSP's usually freeze the CSS.

probably _something_ in your common5 then.

Probably the battle portrait if the game is freezing after stage select.

So, I replaced the common5.pac with Project M's original common5.pac and restored the original Project M Ness and Peach files (I didn't use Mega Man or Zero too much and those hacks were of poor quality anyway), and Fox now works fine. I didn't have any custom Battle Portraits except for Spider-Man's, but I restored them to normal anyway.

So this is solved, I guess the thread gets locked.
