It worked! I can use the Stage Roster Expansion System again! ^_^

 

[Akuma2120]

Ahh... That's why those codes aren't working.

??? I don't understand what you meant by that.

 

[Kofu]

Does anyone know why I can't seem to play on Wi-fi with my friend when he has textures/music applied?
The game starts to load, but never gets past the waiting screen.

He was saying why when he tried using those codes with riivolution they didn't work

Does anyone know why I can't seem to play on Wi-fi with my friend when he has textures/music applied?
The game starts to load, but never gets past the waiting screen.

Is that all he uses when he loads things?

I've finished and completed the Brawl Mod Launcher v2 for Riivolution. Works with Brawl+ 7.0, Brawl- 1.5, Project: M. Since Balanced Brawl 2 doesn't have any TXTs or has any GCT's that omits the File Patch Code, I can't test to make sure that works.

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?jjtm2dm33ny

Place in the "riivolution" folder, along with codehandler.bin for Ocarina codes.

	=========== Where do I place my mods? ===================

	X:/brawlmods/bbrawl/ - Balanced Brawl. RSBE01.gct goes in this folder, as well as all of the other "pf" files.

	X:/brawlmods/brawlminus/ - Brawl Minus. RSBE01.gct goes in this folder, as well as all of the other "pf" files.

	X:/brawlmods/brawlplus/ - Brawl Plus. RSBE01.gct goes in this folder, as well as all of the other "pf" files.

	X:/brawlmods/custom1/ - Custom Set #1. RSBE01.gct goes in the root of this folder. Contains "fighter",
				"info", "info2", "menu", "menu2", "module", "stage" and "system" folders as well.

	X:/brawlmods/custom2/ - Custom Set #2. RSBE01.gct goes in the root of this folder. Contains "fighter",
				"info", "info2", "menu", "menu2", "module", "stage" and "system" folders as well.

	X:/brawlmods/projectm/ - Project: M. RSBE01.gct goes in this folder, as well as all of the other "pf" files.

	X:/brawlmods/vbrawl/ - Regular Brawl. RSBE01.gct goes in the root of this folder. Contains "fighter",
				"info", "info2", "menu", "menu2", "module", "stage" and "system" folders as well.

	=========== Where do I place my music? ===================

	X:/brawlmods/music/ - Where you place "info.pac", and optionally, "smashbros_sound.brsar".
	X:/brawlmods/music/strm/ - Where you place all of your BRSTM files to be used in game.

	=========== Where do I place my textures? ================

	X:/brawlmods/textures/fighter/ - All of the character textures go here, e.g. X:/brawlmods/textures/fighter/captain/FitCaptain00.pac
	X:/brawlmods/textures/info/ - Anything that belongs in "info" goes in here.
	X:/brawlmods/textures/menu/ - Anythin that belongs in "menu" goes in here.
	X:/brawlmods/textures/menu2/ - Anything that belongs in "menu2" or "pfmenu2" goes in here.
        X:/brawlmods/stages/ - All stage textures (pac) + any module files (rel) go here.

	=========== How about my movies (THP files)? =============

	X:/brawlmods/movies/ - Place any THP files you have in here.

I'm having trouble with your setup. The main problem I get is that the character changes don't load. I made gct's without the file replacement codes and put them in their respective folders (like /sd/brawlmods/balancedbrawl). My setup looks like this:

/sd/brawlmods/balancedbrawl/pf and in the pf folder are the fighter, system, and stage folders which have the character folders w/.pacs, common.pacs, and stage.pacs respectively.

/sd/brawlmods/brawl-/pf and in the pf folder are the fighter and system folders which have the appropriate folders/files.

With balancedbrawl the stage changes and css were working. but the character changes weren't there. With brawl- the characters also had no changes. What is wrong with my setup?

??? I don't understand what you meant by that.

-_- What I was meaning to say was, the codes were not working, because apparently they are not compatible with Riivolution.

Mind telling how you got it to work i never figured it out XD

Did some changes to the GCT, renaming it RSBE01vB.gct, Downloaded the XML in the single post you linked to, and changed the SRES Code to version 1.1 (To prevent freezing on the Spear Pillar and other stages with unique loading phases.), and restructuring the SD card accordingly.

Weird did the same things and it doesn't work for me

 

[Zatchiel]

Is it possible to have more than one Motion.PAC running on the same character, at the same time?

 

[Mr.Chuy]

No

Hmm? I must have left out something... D:

That's so incredibly obvious though, I already knew that lol

smashbros_sound.brsar is basically the sound effects file. It's swappable between English, Japanese or even custom ones (I think the guide is elsewhere in the Workshop, and the Tales project in CC has a custom SFX one as well).

For the SD card issue... that's known, and apparently that's on purpose... though as to why I don't know.

I think the reason the game freezes when the sd card is taken out while using Riivolution is because Riivolution basically makes the card part of the game disc for loading things. So it freezes like it would if you were to take the disc out midgame. I think this is also the reason why you can't use the sd card to save stuff while using Riivolution, simply because the game doesn't see it as a sd card, it sees it as part of the game disc.

Balanced Brawl: It's supposed to be /sd/brawlmods/bbrawl/fighter/, /sd/brawlmods/bbrawl/stage/melee/, /sd/brawlmods/bbrawl/system/ etc. The GCT goes in /sd/brawlmods/bbrawl/.

Brawl-: Same as above, only in /sd/brawlmods/brawlminus/.

 

[Swiss Army Brick]

Hello again.
I'm having some trouble with the xml. I'm trying to modify the Brawl+ downloader xml from the Smashmods.com site so I can choose to turn on/off specific characters,stages,etc. textures and other modifications. Just as a test I'm trying to enable selection of a Toon Link texture, currently named ToonLink-Geno.pcs, which is located in private\wii\app\RSBE\pf\fighter\toonlink

The way I currently have it set up (or so I think anyway) is for the choice "Geno 03" under the "Toon Link" option to pass the parameters, "file", "slot", and "char" to the "tex_char" patch. Which would use the aforementioned parameters to select the ToonLink-Geno.pcs file, rename it to FitToonlink03.pcs, and then patch it.

However, whenever I run Riivolution, enable Geno 03, and launch the game, freezes up with the error "Exception (DSI) occurred!" Bunch of numbers. "STACK DUMP:" Bunch of numbers. "CODE DUMP:" Bunch of numbers.
If I run Riivolution without Geno 03, it runs normally with the Brawl+ modifications intact.

Can anyone help me with this?

My code, yellow text is my modifications, the rest should be the standard Brawl+ downloader code.

I've been trying for a while now to get Phantom Wing's Stage Expansion Code to work with riivolution for me.

The stages and module files are placed like this
shared-> Module
shared->stage->melee
And the .wgc file is under shared

Is this all correct?

 

[Meta_Knight_777]

^ Riivolution may be reading the WGC at the same time, and thus it is like having two of the same code at once. I may be wrong, but try entering in the codes in the WGC, then moving off of the SD card. ^_^ I remember hearing that the Wii can pick up those files anywhere on the SD card... Maybe I misheard that, but give it a try anyway.

 

[Mr.Chuy]

So basically what you're saying is copy codes to .wgc file and see it works?

 

[libertyernie]

Bionic: Could I suggest adding these two lines to "tex_on" in the Mod Launcher?

<folder external="/brawlmods/textures/item" disc="/item/" recursive="true" resize="true" />

<folder external="/brawlmods/textures/toy" disc="/toy/" recursive="true" resize="true" />

i have one last idea MK77 wold you mind sending me your gct file with your stuff under shared
all i want is the module and stage folders with the expansion stages and the .wgc file

 

[UltyBomber77]

Hello again.
I'm having some trouble with the xml. I'm trying to modify the Brawl+ downloader xml from the Smashmods.com site so I can choose to turn on/off specific characters,stages,etc. textures and other modifications. Just as a test I'm trying to enable selection of a Toon Link texture, currently named ToonLink-Geno.pcs, which is located in private\wii\app\RSBE\pf\fighter\toonlink

The way I currently have it set up (or so I think anyway) is for the choice "Geno 03" under the "Toon Link" option to pass the parameters, "file", "slot", and "char" to the "tex_char" patch. Which would use the aforementioned parameters to select the ToonLink-Geno.pcs file, rename it to FitToonlink03.pcs, and then patch it.

However, whenever I run Riivolution, enable Geno 03, and launch the game, freezes up with the error "Exception (DSI) occurred!" Bunch of numbers. "STACK DUMP:" Bunch of numbers. "CODE DUMP:" Bunch of numbers.
If I run Riivolution without Geno 03, it runs normally with the Brawl+ modifications intact.

Can anyone help me with this?

My code, yellow text is my modifications, the rest should be the standard Brawl+ downloader code.

the b+ xml already has supports textures
just delete your modifications, rename the Geno texture to FitToonLink03.pcs, and put the texture in private\wii\app\RSBE\pf\fighter\toonlink

I know it supports texture and pac mods already, but the problem is that if I want to turn something on or off I have to access the sdhc card on my computer and rename things which is a hassle. What I want to do is put all my mods on my card and then turn on/off specific ones when starting Riivolution.

I know this is possible to do, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZodeoqCuX0A demonstrates selection of textures for both characters and stages. I imagine choosing pac files can't be much different, though Motionetc files might be a problem.

OH, well if that's your problem, just use parameters and macros accordingly. Here, I can help by assembling a basic template.

<wiidisc version="1">

		<macro id="texture" name="Green"><param name="slot" value="02"/></macro>
		<macro id="texture" name="Blue"><param name="slot" value="03"/></macro>
		<section name="Donkey Kong">

				<!--Have the values which will be the same for all textures on this character here.-->
				<param name="character" value="donkey"/>
				<!--All of these choices will appear for every macroed option.-->
				<choice name="In a suit">
					<param name="filename" value="donkeysuit"/>
					<patch id="texture"/>
				</choice>
			</option>
		</section>

		<file disc="/fighter/{$character}/Fit{$character}{$slot}.pac" external="/SSBB/textures/{$character}/{$filename}.pac"/>
	</patch>
</wiidisc>

I did this from memory, so some things might be wrong, but hopefully you get the gist.

EDIT: Let me make it more accessible to you so you can immediately test your toonlink texture right away.

Simply copy and paste this as it's own XML file. Maybe make it "ToonLinkTest.xml" or something. Place it in your Riivolution folder and it will work on its own. When you turn on Riivolution, either the first or last section should be named Toon Link which is the only section contained in this XML. Change one of the choices to "Geno", select the appropriate color in-game (the colors is the part that I might have forgotten, so they might not be right) and see if it works. Be sure you have your other code disabled.

Also note that this is not the same as your previous posted code. Spot the differences if this xml file does work, and avoid this mistake in the future.

*FIXED*

 

[Swiss Army Brick]

Thank you for the help, but unfortunately it didn’t fix the problem.

I’ve run ToonLinkTest.xml by itself in the Riivolution folder but the texture did not load in any of Toon Link’s 6 costumes. Further, the Riivolution option list wasn’t as you described it. Toon Link had his own section, but the only option was “Textures” with the single choice of “Geno” or “Disabled”. The slot choices, "Default", "Red", and "Blue", didn’t appear for some reason.

I’ve also tried incorporating ToonLinkTest.xml into the Brawl+ xml but again it didn’t work. The texture didn’t load and the choices (aside from the “Textures” option) didn’t appear. The standard Brawl+ mods did activate.

It seems you've updated the code while I was posting my bug report, I'll go test it again.

My apologies for the mistake. I hope it works for you now as it did for me.

 

[Swiss Army Brick]

Thanks!

The xml started working (mostly) after I changed Geno's param value from "FitToonlink-Geno" to "Toonlink-Geno". Default and Red changed textures, both on separated tests and on the simultaneous test. Oddly Blue did not change. According to the texture database thread Toon Link's color slots are:

Toon Link
00-Original
01-Red
03-Blue
04-Purple
05-NES Link
06-Dark

And I've previously manually replaced the FitToonlink03.pcs file with the Geno texture so I don't know what the problem is.

I previously mixed up Blue and Green. Your list is right. If you haven't already, change 02 to 03 or just copy and paste what's in my first post. My latest test has worked for all three RGB colors.

By default 01, 02 and 03 are Red, Green and Blue respectively for every character. One of those numbers is removed if the default color represents any of those, such as 02 being removed in the case of Toon Link.

Also the filename for motionetc is do-able with those parameters. Just make a new option for it.

I'd also like to add that I've experienced trouble with texture modding before. Activating certain textures seemed to crash the game whenever a Ocarina-style code was enabled. My guess is that some files increase the size of the disc which makes the addresses for codes appear in different places. For me, textures seem to be fine by themselves and Ocarina codes seem to be fine by themselves. It's when they're both on that I begin to have problems. Although I guess it is possible that the textures might have just been corrupted. Just be wary of this.

 

[Swiss Army Brick]

GREAT SUCCESS!
It now works perfectly.
The final error was that Blue's slot was missing a single space between the backslash and the closing bracket. Man, this program is picky.

Thank you so much for your help.
One last question: Do character mods work in the same fashion? I think you can have only one moveset at a time though, but the process is similar right?

Are you talking about hacked characters such as PSA? The answer is yes if that is your question. The file you primarily need to change is called something like FitMotionEtc.pac right? If that's the case, you just have to make a new option and a patch similar to the texture one. The parameters will be similar.

<option name="Character Replacement">
	<!--Set the parameters to replace the desired file.-->
	<param name="character" value="toonlink"/>
	<!--Add your choices.-->
	<choice name="New Motion File">
		<param name="filename" value="custommotion"/>
		<patch id="motion"/>
	</choice>
</option>
<patch id="motion">
	<file disc="/fighter/{$character}/FitMotionEtc.pac" external="/private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/fighter/{$character}/{$filename}.pac"/>
</patch>

I think if you're going to have this in the same section though, it'd be best to put the parameter "character" inside the section tags and outside of any option tags that way you do not have to keep reiterating the parameter.

I give up with the stage expansion thing it's too annoying of a problem for me -___-

[Swiss Army Brick]

Yes, I meant the psa mods. And I managed to get it to work by working off of your texture replacement code and the Brawl+ standard code.

The one thing I don't get is the FitMotionEtc.pac. The Cosmic Geno PSA I was using only had CosmicGenoVersion1.2.pac which needed to be renamed to FitToonLink.pac so I just used that part of the "tex" replacement patch. Should I modify it to include the FitMotionEtc.pac in the event other psas use it?

NOTE:The "Toonlink-Geno.pcs" file name has been changed to "ToonLink-tex-Geno.pcs" for my convenience. The Brawl+ Toon Link psa is named "ToonLink-psa-Brawl+.pac" and the Cosmic Geno PSA is similarly named, "ToonLink-psa-CosmicGeno.pac".

oh look 1300th post

To just replace stages it's pretty much the same method. If you just want certain types of stages on every stage you can just make an option dedicated to the stage. If you want every stage option available for every stage then macro the stages.

<wiidisc version="1">
	<id game="RSB"/>
	<options>
		<!--MACROS GO HERE-->
		<section name="Stages">
			<param name="path" value="stage/melee"/>
			<option name="Final Destination>
				<param name="name" value="FINAL"/>
				<choice name="Stormy Destination">
					<param name="filename" value="storm"/>
					<patch id="stage"/>
				</choice>
			</option>
		</section>
	</options>
	<patch id="stage">
		<file disc="/{$path}/STG{$name}.pac" external="/private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/{$path}/{$filename}.pac"/>
	</patch>
</wiidisc>

I forgot the path to stages so if I'm wrong replace the value in "path" with whatever it really is. You can also use this parameter for a generic file patch code.

<patch id="filepatch">
	<file disc="/{$path}/{$discfile}.pac" external="/aFolder/anotherFolder/{$filename}.pac"/>
	<file disc="/{$path}/{$discfile}.pcs" external="/aFolder/anotherFolder/{$filename}.pcs"/>
	<file disc="/{$path}/{$discfile}.brres" external="/aFolder/anotherFolder/{$filename}.brres"/>
</patch>

And what not.

Your psa patch looks identical to the tex patch, so I don't see why it's necessary. If you need FitMotionEtc.pac, you'll have to create a new patch id which directly patches FitMotionEtc. Obviously you can use both patch tex and patch psa together for your psa character. I'd try to find the best way possible though of implementing this. Integrating it into the standard texture files might prove to be a glitchy venture and you'll have to remember that FitMotionEtc is able to modify everything that is Toon Link.

Well I need to be going, I'll deal with the FitMotionetc.pac later. Thanks again!

Hmm... i get what you're saying i'll try adding some some more options to the one you posted would you mind checking mine in a bit?

Sure thing. Though I wouldn't exactly see the reason of changing anything as long as it works.

I must have made a mistake. There is a closing question mark missing after the option name "Final Destination". If you want to add macros though, you'd do it like this.

<wiidisc version="1">
	<id game="RSB"/>
	<options>
		<macro id="stages" name="Final Destination"><param name="name" value="FINAL"/></macro>
		<macro id="stages" name="Battlefield"><param name="name" value="BATTLEFIELD"/></macro>
		<section name="Stages">
			<param name="path" value="stage/melee"/>
			<option id="stages" name="Stages to Choose From">
				<choice name="Stormy Destination">
					<param name="filename" value="storm"/>
					<patch id="stage"/>
				</choice>
				<choice name="SSB64 Intro">
					<param name="filename" value="Intro"/>
					<patch id="stage"/>
				</choice>
				<choice name="Tabuu">
					<param name="filename" value="Tabuu"/>
					<patch id="stage"/>
				</choice>
			</option>
		</section>
	</options>
	<patch id="stage">
		<file disc="/{$path}/STG{$name}.pac" external="/private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/{$path}/{$filename}.pac"/>
	</patch>
</wiidisc>

What this will do is create two options in the section Stages. Each option would have the same choices to pick from. So you could, for instance, set Final Destination to Stormy Destination and Battlefield to Tabuu. Or, if you choose to for whatever, you can set each stage to the same choice. If you think macroing like this suits your preferences best, then do use it.

*Also be sure to double-check my names and paths. I may not have them right.
