Project SA Q&A

[Yung Mei]

hi, my question is, is it possible to use a PSA and the original character at the same time?

Example would be using both the Roy PSA and Marth at the same time/match

 

[Miamisportsfan45]

I have the first Gecko as well as the updated one required for running hacks, but it freezes before it even recognizes the hacks.... What can I do to fix this?

 

[VietGeek]

I'm wondering, can you get sword glows in different colors? Like, could you get the yellow hue to instead be red, blue, green, etc. to differentiate between hitboxes more easily?

It would be very useful imo, but I'm not sure if color is selectable.

 

[darksamus77]

PSA n00b question, sorry if it's been asked a million times already...do you need any other programs besides BrawlBox and a photo editing software for PSA? I wanna start a DS PSA hack, but wanna make sure I have everything I need to start...thanks in advance

 

[Eldiran]

@God of Humility: that'd be requirement 0B: Hit with Hitbox. (If it doesn't work properly, try using it in the GFX section.) A requirement for being struck hasn't been discovered yet.

@Calvo: not yet, unfortunately.

@Miamisports: I can only guess at what your problem is. When, exactly, does it freeze? While Brawl is running, or when GeckoOS is loading? If the latter, the problem is probably not caused by your hacks specifically.

@VietGeek: unfortunately the only way to change sword glow color is to edit it directily in BrawlBox.

@darksamus: you should be set with that. Strictly speaking, PSA doesn't require either of those, but making a full-fledged character does.

I want to change the articles of Peach so she is always holding her parasol, but I can't work out what actions correspond to what attacks in-game (and I've been following Wacka Alpaca's tutorials), and therefore I'm having trouble working out how to do it by myself. What should I do?

EDIT: I've kinda worked it out, but what action is her standing animation? Also, how do I give the parasol collision for her attacks as if it were a sword, and what file is her parasol in anyway? I want to replace it with Ike's sword.

EDIT2: I've worked out what subactions correspond to what now so I've made her always hold her parasol and changed her a-jabs to sword attacks, but there are no hitboxes on the parasol. Can I change that? Or should I use the golf club instead?

what's the difference between this and Brawlbox?

 

[vietstah]

I would like to know how to add projectiles after a move is executed. Like, Say I wanted to have one of pit's arrows fly out right after he does a f-tilt, fair, and bair (arrow shooting behind him). Please be as detailed as possible as I am UBER new at PSA

 

[Kawaii Poyo]

What are the subactions for Kirby's copy abilities? More specifically which one is MK/Tornado's sub action, I'd like to know them all but MK's is the one I care about the most.

 

[TommoPuppy]

what's the difference between this and Brawlbox?

It's like the difference between apples and oranges. They're both fruit and they're both good for you, but they do different things. BrawlBox and PSA are like apples and oranges, minus the delicious taste. BrawlBox is for editing models, textures, animations, etc. while PSA is for editing movesets.

aha, i see. so it's like paper and paint? lol, thanks.

 

[Swift Fox]

I was wondering how to make Fox's blaster flinch (just like Fox 64 or Falco) to his opponents?

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

In FitFox.pac, you need to go to offsets 18D30 and 18E00. Those contain the hitboxes for Fox's lasers. The reason they don't flinch is that they have a special element (as I recall, it's element 18); you need to change the last two digits of the flags. If you want the new element to be the generic "none", change the last digit to 0 and subtract 1 from the second to last digit (which is likely also setting it to 0, but if it's 5 or 9, that will be setting it to 4 or 8 respectively).

Doing this will only make them behave in a normal manner when they hit though; it won't change anything else about them, including firing speed. Fox's laser is very, very fast so you may want to make other changes unless this is for pure novelty.

 

[darksamus77]

Ok, sorry if this has been asked a million times already, but what programs are required for a PSA hack (besides BrawlBox, which I have)? I wanna start a Dark Samus PSA hack but have no clue where to start or what to get. I ask this due to the fact that BRSTM requests are dying down (that's my hobby on here, if you know me) and I need something to do in my spare time...thanks a ton in advance, if PM works better for whoever's kind enough to answer, it is much appreciated...like knowledge, programs, and anything else for PSA, that's what I need...thanks in advance, sorry for the noob question, but I have no idea about PSA hacking and would like to know how to do one. Thank you for your time.

That really helped me a lot! Srsly, I can't thank you enough

And about offset informations, where'd you learned that? I could learn something for my future references.

Thanks

PSA (formerly known as "Project Smash Attacks", "Plan Zero", or "Project SA") itself is a program that opens Fit*.pac files and it can let you manage moveset informations on character you have chosen. The asterisk in Fit*.pac is character's name (fitFOX.pac, fitCAPTAIN.pac, etc.)

Ok, I get that much, and that you can edit characters' moves using it and give them special effects (lightsaber/glowing sword effect). What do I need to look up info-wise for PSA? I'm guessing something to do with hexadecimal format and values for all kinds of stuff. That's what I really need...just some info on how to get started, and I'll go from there.

Could someone look at my Ganon Final Smash? I have replaced the beast model with the Pirate Ship.
But I still get beast Ganon ingame.

Thanks

 

[SonicTheHedgehog02]

This is my question: How do I change the speed of a thrown object? I made Mario Spawn a pokeball and throw it. But when he does, it goes REALLY fast and at an angle. Anyone know the answer?

 

[toonlink4444]

what button do you press if any to spawn the pokeball if it's B my guess is that it's still acting like the fireball otherwise no clue

 

[Omniscient X]

Hey guys,
Umm for that last question go here: http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=1096.0

As for me I have a question I need answered asap: does negative knockback cause a hitbox to create suction, I need a hitbox/collision that will allow me to suck things in and hold them in place it's required for my newest PSA hack Lord Starkiller's Side-B: Force Grip!!

 

[[TSON]]

there is no such thing as negative knockback. the number is in hex, and hex has no negatives.

change the angle to 180 (B4) and it will hit the foe towards your character

 

[Omniscient X]

Oh nvm and no dude that's not what I meant at all I'm not trying to pull stuff I'm tyring to be able to grab everything from enemies and thrown items in the air and move them around but anyway I figured it out myself and it works completely expect to see the new WIP thread with Lord Starkiller DL soon!!!

 

[brawlrrrr]

edit: nvm, i got it

 

[NeoCulexor]

Is there a list of attributes so I can tell which article is which?
I'm trying to get it to where Falco can fire is laser rapid fire.

 

[SonicTheHedgehog02]

just change the timer

 

[Higure Hokousha]

I know that there is no good way to artificially turn on Final Smash, but how can I:

a)Determine if a character has the Smash Ball.

and

b)Change a variable and take away the Smash Ball.

Any help would be appreciated greatly.

P.S. Is there a decent place to ask about PSA nowadays? I thought it was on Paprika Killer's thread, but that's been dead for months.

 

[SmashAttackx]

try putting this on a taunt:
Consume Item: 0-37, (or maybe pickup item)
and on another taunt:
Drop Item: 0-37,

just a guess

 

[Budget Player Cadet_]

How do you make a windbox have knockback/hitstun/flinch?

 

[Toomai]

How do you make a windbox have knockback/hitstun/flinch?

I'm pretty sure that any hitbox that deals 0% damage, or deals 0/0/0 knockback, cannot flinch or have freeze frames. Unzeroing these should allow the two.
