Project Z: A competitive extension of Project M

[andzrej]

Project Z is an extension of Project M, with a focus on competitive and clean additions.
Characters have had recolors and alts added. With the exception of a few stages, most of them are now competitive. The only legal map change is Pokemon Stadium 1, to a balanced version.

I made this in order to get some more variety in Project M. Let me know what y'all think. (`･ω･´)

Spoiler: CSS Screen Redesign

Spoiler: Characters

Dropbox

Spoiler: Stages

Dropbox

Spoiler: Music

Full list coming soon. Currently an amalgamation of the moisture pack, theytah's, the reddit song thread v2, and my personal choices.

This area could use a bit of polishing; I plan on touching it up in future versions. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Project Z v1.0.3 (Homebrew)

Update[1]: Game and Watch can cause the game to freeze after the match finishes. To fix this,
download MenSelchrFaceB170.brres and put it in X:\projectm\pf\menu\common\char_bust_tex.

-Add more music
-Redo some CSPs
-Do stock icons for added alts
-Suggestions

It's not, but you can just replace the codes & projectm folder in your hackless sd card.

Okay then..idk how but I'll look up on the "How to"

The hackless version should have a couple things in the root directory. A boot.elf file, a gameconfig.txt file, and 3 folders: codes, private, projectm. Just delete the codes and projectm folders, and replace them with mine from the download.

Thank you Admiral Andzrej. I'll do that now

 

[andzrej]

For those of you who have downloaded it so far, Yoshi's story is actually Doge's story (Doge on Randall). I forgot to replace it before uploading.
I'll add a patch later today for those who want the original.

Tried to make it Hackless....and it didn't work

Not just for me I hope lol but thank you very much :3

@ andzrej Are you using an updated version of sword play arena? The one on Theytas build (from brawl vault) has some severe slow down glitches when using certain moves.

Have you tested all of these stages personally?

It has glitched out when I used a final smash, but I haven't seen anything like that in 1v1's.

edit: Yeah, I've played sets on every map I've added, to test out how it plays and how the camera feels.

 

[andzrej]

Added a hackless download for v0.9.3.

has some severe slow down glitches when using certain moves.

Okay I went back and played some 1v1 sets on it, and what happens is the camera glitches occasionally when a player falls under a certain height, on either side.
Apparently this only happens in 1v1, I had tested it with 4 player and the only glitch was right after a final smash was activated.

I'll find a good map to replace this in the first update (will update the music also). :-)

Your teams colors are wrong for Charizard and Squirtle. Green and blue are inverted for Charizard, red and green for Squirtle. Also, it'll be cool if you'd add the new skins/alts to teams as well, like how you can play the Melee skins in teams for Fox and Falco, you could do the same with with all your new skins, if you know how.

EDIT: HUD portrait for green Brawl Falco shows the gold one. New purple one shows Brawl black.

My Music needs serious update, no idea which brawl/PM stages correspond to which of yours. No titles for most music.

CSS portraits are covered by their names for many chars, notably Falco, Snake, Ike, etc.

CSS gold Samus loads red/brown Samus, has vBrawl dark Samus HUD portrait

 

[Pandamatak]

Doesn't look like this has been mentioned anywhere, but is the current version of project Z (0.9.3 as of now) on top of project m 3.0 or 3.02? (latest as of now)
I'd like to use project Z, but the bugfixes in 3.02 are really important to me, too.

Likely 3.02. The 3.0 and 3.01 updates were only out for a combined total of a bit more than a month.

 

[luxmivozi]

hm seems interesting i like the toon link skin choice and i think the wuhu airplain is a thing of the wii sports resort but overall i think il download this later

[edit]
also waht do you mean by you was making it more competitive?

[edit-2]
project-m_Patt's buils has some nice music in it you can ask him

 

[C_Mill24]

The foreground for Skyloft 2 goes black a majority of the time. Only once did the lighting for the stage work for me. Toad at the 3D Land Tower stage goes dark for a frame or 2 sometimes. I can also clip through the lower part of the right wall of Chimp's Skating Challenge with most characters with the exception of King Dedede since he's to large and can't fit through the wall.

 

[Wyntir]

Do I over ride the project m mod or do I add this one to the same sd card?

 

[C_Mill24]

You override it.

 

[UltimateWario]

Kinda wish you woulda got my permission to use Booigi.

I mean, I don't care, but asking would've been nice. :\

 

[Wyntir]

You override it.

I put it on a different sd card n nothing happened. Clicked on stage creator n nothing happened so I'm a little stumped at the moment

 

[Hyperion965]

interesting, i'll DL this later.

 

[LSDxButtCheekzz]

Is it possible that you could upload this pack using the 3.0 launcher? (I have a bad disc)
Or is there any way to use the 3.0 launcher by just replacing some files?

 

[Yeller1999]

this is cool i will have to check it out later

 

[Wyntir]

I love it!!! But the Mii sword fight stage glitches when your character starts falling below the level of the main platform. Btw I love the 2 new gothic peach costumes. Gives it a dark sinister feel. Wish the Dracula stage was back!

 

[CalvinWars]

Hey Andzrej, I'm really liking your build. Where did you get the CSPs for the Concept Art Meta Knight recolors? I found the Concept Art Meta Knight recolors on KCMM but I couldn't find any CSPs for them.

 

[Alm5252]

Not that it really matters, but I would like to be credited for Wuhu Plane Ride (Airplane as you called it).

Good work Alm5252

Thank you.

 

[Wyntir]

Good work Alm5252

 

[Yeller1999]

this takes forever to download uhhggg.... but it should be worth the wait right?

 

[andzrej]

Hello everyone! I kinda got really busy after publishing this, so I wasn't able to work on it til now.
In the next week or so I will be launching a new update, with a lot of bug fixes, map replacements, and possibly new skins as well as some skin removals.

Your teams colors are wrong for Charizard and Squirtle. Green and blue are inverted for Charizard, red and green for Squirtle. Also, it'll be cool if you'd add the new skins/alts to teams as well, like how you can play the Melee skins in teams for Fox and Falco, you could do the same with with all your new skins, if you know how.

Thanks, I will look into this. With all the changes I made, I figured there would be errors that I'd miss.
I totally forgot about my music when making this. That'll be updated, as well as the music so there's no repeats.
All of these issues will be fixed in the next update.

How do you add the new alts to the team list? I am interesting in doing that if there's a link or tutorial on it.

3.02 or the latest version! :-)

I can also clip through the lower part of the right wall of Chimp's Skating Challenge with most characters with the exception of King Dedede since he's to large and can't fit through the wall.

Yeah these stages are being replaced. Skyloft 2 worked for me, so not sure what the issue is there, but I want to find a better map anyhow. The chimp stage is funny too, I figured it out with Ganon's choke and accidentally clipped through that wall.. In the next update it should have better maps. :-)

Kinda wish you woulda got my permission to use Booigi.

I mean, I don't care, but asking would've been nice. :\

Sorry man, I didn't realize. I can remove it if you want.

Is it possible that you could upload this pack using the 3.0 launcher? (I have a bad disc)
Or is there any way to use the 3.0 launcher by just replacing some files?

I'm not sure how to create a pack for that, but I can look into it once I have some free time.

I love it!!! But the Mii sword fight stage glitches when your character starts falling below the level of the main platform. Btw I love the 2 new gothic peach costumes. Gives it a dark sinister feel. Wish the Dracula stage was back!

Good news, it's coming back! Along with Norfair.
The swordplay arena is being replaced as well due to bugs.

Hey Andzrej, I'm really liking your build. Where did you get the CSPs for the Concept Art Meta Knight recolors? I found the Concept Art Meta Knight recolors on KCMM but I couldn't find any CSPs for them.

I made them myself in photoshop, feel free to use them. :-)

Not that it really matters, but I would like to be credited for Wuhu Plane Ride (Airplane as you called it).

Will do! I couldn't remember the exact name when I published the pack haha.

this takes forever to download uhhggg.... but it should be worth the wait right?

Depends on if you like the previews or not :-)

If you need any more balanced stages, I know a guy who does that sort of thing...
*COUGH*shameless self-promotion*COUGH*

But really, this looks like a very interesting pack, I might have to try it out when you release the new update!

 

[andzrej]

The new update is finally here!

A lot of new skins have been added, including a lot of Smash 3 updates.
Many of the page 2 maps have been reworked, and the overall quality should be much higher now.

Let me know if there are any bugs or if y'all have any questions about Project Z v1.0.3!

The Homebrew download can be found here. (1.29gb)

 

[SpaceshipYoshi]

I downloaded this about two hours ago. and I love it.
Problems I noticed: A game featuring G&W crashed before it could load the results. Not sure if it was BECAUSE of G&W or some weird chance, but I haven't had issues with any other character
I use Red Doctor Mario, and sometimes his cape glitches and flickers around his model while playing (after using it, ofc). I'm not sure if this problem is specific to this color or what

Thanks for reporting! I will look into this. Which skin was being used?

For future crashes, can you jot down :
Characters played & what skins
Stage played
Last known action before the freeze (e.g. throwing bacon then the game freezes) <- doesn't apply in this situation

I know about the mario cape texture glitch, and I thought I fixed that. In the meantime, either getting hit or using the cape again seems to fix it.

 

[andzrej]

Game & Watch's end-game freeze should be fixed.
