PSA Official Project Thread

[Sushi21]

best... thread... ever...
lol, a little late to post!
Thanks, I'll be sure to make some cool stuff, now.

 

[Leo Kitsune]

I was wrong. All characters seem to have two blocks of attributes. I haven't figured out what the second one is for, but its not bunny hood, metal box, or posion mushroom/mushroom stats.

Subspace. Ever notice how the characters play almost COMPLETELY different in that mode?

Not even that, but all the sticker effects have to effect them somehow.

When I try running 0.2 it gives me all kinds of errors when I run it. It says "unhandled exception has occured in your application."

Does this require .net framework 3.5 while 0.1 does not?

 

[SymphonicSage12]

I got it so yoshi's dair is his running animation, but I forgot how to make it so the animation loops (the flaily kicking part) endlessly. help please?


And how do I get it so I can interrupt it any time with a crouch?

Someone, please??

Press "Animation Flags" and check the "Loop" box.

Add an "Allow Interrupt" operation.

 

[SymphonicSage12]

I have that already, and yet it doesn't loop. O_o

 

[Phantom Wings]

SymphonicSage12, please do not ask questions concerning the use of PSA here. There are two other threads open for that kind of talk. This thread is strictly for discussion on the future of PSA.

Anyways, I have stated in the opening post that I will not post here very often. And that is because I have firmly decided to decrease the time I spend on hacking SSBB. Despite the many bugs showing up, you probably won't see a fix for a few days...

Edit: Sorry SymphonicSage12, I didn't mean to target you out of the rest - I just needed someone to vent on (unrelated) and you were the nearest person. But to everyone in general, try and keep the discussion of the usage of PSA to their respective forums.

Anyways, despite my previous ultimatum, it turns out that I'm a creature of irresistible habit. So I went and cleaned up the floating point conversion bugs and the BKB/KBG bugs. It's now listed as v0.2.1 Beta.

In any case, I will still be cutting down on the time I spend working on PSA and Brawl hacking in general.

 

[Dantarion]

Thanks for all your hard work.

 

[Untouch]

In the grahpic effects part, z offset and x offset have been switched.

 

[henpen924]

Umm. You probably aren't taking requests... But could you write in a built in hexidecimal converter in the 2.1 build? Thanks a lot. Just thought I'd throw the idea out there.

Go and take a vacation to Hawaii, you deserve it!
(Crap, come to think of it. School is starting down here.)

 

[Eldiran]

EDIT2: Oh ship! I just realized this is probably the wrong thread for asking questions like this. Well, it is concerning changes that may need to be in future versions... but still, if it's in the wrong place, I apologize.

Thank you for your hard work, Phantom!

Though I'm afraid I have a difficult problem. 8(

I've been editing throws; there's an unusual command in there called "Sub Routine External". It apparently has a name parameter that, for throws, is usually "gameAnimCmd_CaptureCutCommon". Well, one way or another I tried to Modify the command, which instantly converted it to a regular sub routine. Copy/Paste doesn't allow me to recreate the command.

I'm not sure if this the exact cause of my problem. I'm also finding that the sub routine that was apparently pointed to by "gameAnimCmd_CaptureCutCommon" has somehow been removed. Normally it directs to a pile of commands that give the error "Offset not identified as a valid event list." Now it is empty and accessible.

Anyway, the gist of this is that my Jigglypuff crashes whenever it tries to grab.

Unfortunately I think the program will have to be changed before I can fix this. Either I need to be able to create "Sub Routine External"s, or I need to be able to add commands to pre-existing offsets (so I can recreate the missing data).

EDIT: A third alternative would be to allow the user to set Parameter Type to any value. For example: the data I'm trying to recreate has has the command: 00010CF4: F5C283F-3333333F, ...

The closest I can get to that is 0-3333333F. /EDIT

Well, thanks for reading all that. I am using v0.2 by the way. It's fine if you take a long break before fixing this issue. I'd just like to know if you can and eventually will (if you can and will eventually, then I can continue editing the rest of my character. Otherwise I have to start over from halfway ._.)

 

[cookieM0Nster]

PW is great. I look forward to newer versions. Thanks a bunch for this!

 

[MK26]

Hey PW, you said the tab is called "Specials" because those are the only things that are unique to the characters, and if we changed anything else fundamentally, it would apply to all characters, right? Is that a coding limitation, where one is unable to change these things, or was it your choice to not include the other actions in the program (disregarding subactions/subroutines)? I want to know because I want to see if it is possible to create, perform, and perfect such a fundamental change to the gameplay, what I like to call a techjump. It'd basically be that in a tech situation (with 4 options: tech, techroll left or right, or not tech) I want to add another option, using the same animation as a wall techjump, but with altered invicibility and IASA frames to make it balanced.

Of course, this can't be done with only altering subactions, so I want to know if it can be done through a Specials tab expanded to more than specials.

EDIT: i forgot to mention that there was a code (Tech Window Fix v0.3 iirc) that allowed one to techjump, but it was ridiculously imbalanced due to the fact that you could attack out of it instantly and thwart any chase attempt. I'm hoping that I can edit that through PSA.

And anyway, thanks for the program. I really appreciate it.

 

[B3Brawler]

weapon collisions....I neeeeed them. For great ganonwithsword justice.

 

[superyoshi888]

I'm totally at an lost looking at it. x_x

Any chance a bit more user friendly version will be released?

 

[Segab]

In the grahpic effects part, z offset and x offset have been switched.

I think that they aren't switched if you take the 2nd Graphic Effect (the one right under Screen Tint).

 

[Eldiran]

Well, last time I posted here I was kind of panicking about losing all my progress. Finally I realized I could just copy-paste all the non-broken parts I lost to my backup. >.< Gotta take it easy when things get screwed up next time.

Nevertheless, my post still stands as a bug report, and a possible inspiration for new features to add to the next version. But honestly, even if this program never got updated we'd still be in PW's debt, so hey, I'm in no hurry.

Hey, we're still in PW's debt because of the File Replacement and File Patch codes.

I am overall pleased about how well this program works as a beta.

True that! On both counts. It's surprisingly resilient, and extremely effective.

Exactly my thoughts.

 

[demonictoonlink]

BTW Ragna is broken

 

[SymphonicSage12]

BTW Ragna is broken

3/4 of the characters made are. XD

 

[cookieM0Nster]

PW, I wrote some code that can pull attribute names from the spreadsheet we have been working on.
It can update Attributes.txt.

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=teHQICDh3q_bLbhDAibuwTg is the spreadsheet.
PM me if you want the code, otherwise ill release it as a standalone app.

PS could you add this link to the first post?

Could you remake the Attributes.txt with this?

 

[Dantarion]

I have a tool that does it, I just need to update it for the difference between 0.1 and 0.2.1's attributes.txt format.

I'm also working on ALSTT 2.0, BCSM-GUI 2.0, decoding the motion files, and decoding the ai files.
But since most of those are long term things, im gonna try to get the attribute updater done this weekend.

I'm also working on updating the other data files including with Project SA.
After I figure out the best way to do it, I'm going to make a "Lets get all the data in one place!" post

 

[Kyzon Xin]

PW i would like to suggest a Godly "undo" button in future releases... sometimes i'll accidently save something to the wrong place or something and i have to mentally remember what to undo...

that would be a huge help
thx

Thank you sir. Can't wait for the tool!

 

[CountKaiser]

PhantomWings, just so you know, the shield damage value is tied to base knockback, not knockback gain. Weight-dependent set knockback is tied to knockback gain.

...this would help when accidantally deleting something... i have done that a lot lately... and every time i have to open a normal yoshi.pac to see what i need to recreate... its anoying...

 

[Kyzon Xin]

oh that too Max. idk how i forgot about that one

 

[cookieM0Nster]

Thanks for the pm. Testing it out now.

 

[Kyzon Xin]

NP cookie.. tell me what u think on the other thread

Put that in Data folder.

Has updated Attributes and some Event IDs and Parameters.

 

[lucha5]

idk if this is the best place to post.but is it possible with the psa to make idk ryu from sf?

 

[Eldiran]

This isn't the best place to post. Also that's a very vague question. Try asking in one of the other threads, please.

EDIT: Rather than double post I'll put my bug report in this one.

So! I think there may be a memory leak somewhere in PSA. I've never gotten "you're running low on memory so you should close some programs" errors before using PSA. Also, I have gotten 2 or so blue screens working on this.

Overall, that's pretty good, since these rarely happen. Even if this is never fixed PSA works fine. But I have a suspicion that it's got a leak.

 

[Jiangjunizzy]

I don't know if it's something I'm doing wrong, but recently I've been getting a lot of wii crash errors with my .pac files. I haven't done anything too ridiculous with .pacs, most of the things I've done *should* be working fine, but for some reason they end up crashing my wii. I know these things should be working fine, because I end up copying them onto a fresh new .pac file, and I don't experience the crash at all. I don't know if it's because of what I'm actually doing or perhaps the newest PSA isn't saving files correctly. Has anyone else encountered this?

Just to clarify: I've been getting this problem with Samus, I haven't really been messing around with other characters much.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

For the sake of convienence, I feel that it is important for this thread to stay on the first 2 pages as this is where PW will release new betas when he returns.

Bumped.

 

[dino_gonzalez]

Is this true now?

I'm editing fox and his throw uses articles going up
I can't get that to happen when swamping with tilt up

Is there a way to do this right now?
or is it just unsupported and somehow build into it?

I've heard that there's a memory limit on character files, for which Samus' is remarkably small. But I haven't tested this, and it might not be the cause of your problem.
