Riivolution Q&A and Help Thread

[Darkmega]

heh. you sure are quite the brawl saver. I'll remember this. ^_^ I'll make sure I get my fill of these wonderful parts of the hacks I've been missing out on so because of being a PAL user. I've already replaced more than 20 or so songs. XD

yesz :D

The cool thing is, if you hack effects through a PAL .pac, they also work with sound.
Also PSA would work with PAL if they would make them with a PAL .pac.
I hope they create a new Smash Attacks! were you can extract and replace the "Sub Actions" thing, because then it would take seconds to get sounds with a PSA in PAL

Michi, mind if I put some of the filename patches in the Brawl Mod Launcher? I'll credit you with making it.

Also, BML v2.02 update, with unstoppabrawl and /item/ + /toy/ support!

Yeah I can't seem to get the codes to work when using Bionics sonic mod launcher v2. I'm trying to get any code set to work. This is what I have;

-the RSBE01(riivolution).gct in the /brawlmods/brawlplus folders and it is named RSBE01.gct
- all /pf folders the code set came with in /brawlmods/brawlplus
- i am using brawl+gold
-the gameconfig.txt file is in the root of my SD card
- all other replacements work, things like textures, music, ect. It does use the BBrawl PSA's when I say use BBrawl
-I am using no hook type
-I do have Brawl+ as the selected code set to use when starting riivolution

What have I got not in the right place or not setup properly? I've looked for hours and used the search bar, nothing has solved the problem. Only the codes seem to not work.

Also, is it possible to change sound effects with riivolution, without having to do an iso hack, if yes can someone link me?

 

[Swiss Army Brick]

Can you play as the Alloys, Giga Bowser, and Warioman with Riivolution?
I've tried both adding the additional character codes to the Brawl+ codeset as well as using them by themselves and I cannot get the additional characters to load. Whenever I choose the second Mario icon for example, I get Mario instead of the Yellow Alloy.

 

[codfish92]

@swiss army brick

try holding the shield button.

of course if the code works, your still gonna have to get codes to work with riivolution, which I am struggling with

 

[Holy Lance]

I am having some issues with Riivolution.

I want to load Lloyd hack with the sounds, and after spending all day getting Riivolution to work, it ends up freezing after the Brawl "loading" screen finishes.

The screen just stays black, Wiimote on and detecting, but unresponsive.

Help please?

Edit:

I used code manager to make a new gct file (I was using a gecko gct) but it changed nothing...

 

[Isatis]

-I am using no hook type

Hook type should be anything except "Disabled"

Yes it is possible
What codes are you using?

Take out the file patch code and try not using the sound file(rename it to something else so it doesn't get loaded) to see if truly is the problem i think it might be something else

 

[codfish92]

@bionic sonic

Thank you. That fixed the issue.

 

[libertyernie]

In case anyone wants it, here's my XML:
http://libertyernie.heliohost.org/Brawl.xml
It uses the same general folder setup as Bionic's XML. I couldn't get his to load all my textures for some reason, so I just went back to using the one I had made earlier. But you should still try Bionic's mod launcher first, because it loads modsets MUCH faster (each file is listed individually so Riivolution doesn't have to search for them.)

 

[Mr.Chuy]

Okay everything is working nao for some reason o.O

 

[Swiss Army Brick]

The hell? I recopied and pasted the codes and now they work. As far as I know I didn't change anything about them. And I've recopied and pasted them several times before over the last few days trying out different configurations. Odd.

Oh well, thanks for the help anyway guys.

I tried switching around the code sets and textures because people would forget to switch their textures to "Characters Only", causing Brawl+, BBrawl and Project M stages not to load, and instead load stage textures only from /brawlmods/stages/.

Weird that it doesn't load them at all o_O I'll try and fix that and release 2.1 a bit later tonight.

 

[libertyernie]

Just FYI, that wasn't with the most recent version, it was with the one before that. And it loaded Toon Link textures, but not Zelda textures. I think it has something to do with the modsets maybe having FitZelda0x.pcs files.

 

[Isatis]

Probably; Riivolution usually patches in the file it sees, but if it sees a second one that's supposed to go in the first one's spot, it'll ignore it. Switching Textures and Code Sets seemed to have did the trick, though.

 

[Mr.Chuy]

Edit:At working mysteriously all of a sudden o.O

 

[Budget Player Cadet_]

I'm trying to run this with a PAL game, and I have run into a problem or two.

At first, I used the stuff provided in the PAL code database plus a GCT. That got me file replacement, but no codes. Then I tried using TSON's ocarina thingy. That got me neither codes nor GCT. Then I replaced all the RSBEs with RSBPs and tried that. Again, nothing. Then I just used my stupid non-functional GCT on gecko. Help?

 

[mofo_]

can i load 2 different .gcts at the same time?
i need to a gct for error 20102 bypass and then theres smashmods

also can i get an xml that just loads custom music?

 

[Rizaria]

Alrighty, new to all this Brawl haxxing now that it's accessible with Riivolution and relatively...easy.

My current dillemma is getting a custom CSS working. I've had no luck getting Brawl to even load when I have the sc_selcharacter.pac, sc_selmap.pac and specialised .gct file. I know my XML is finding the gct, as I saved this new one over the old one which was working fine. [Had tested making Alloys playable then swapping one of Pit's costumes for the Red Ally..which I'd replaced with Isaac]

So I can only assume I'm doing something else wrong. I haven't changed the directories I've been using, and if I remove all that stuff, all the other hacks work just fine. Is there something else I have to do? Tried renaming them _en after them, tried the BrawlBox into common_5 or whatever, foiled due to being a Mac user, .net 3.5 or whatever not working via Wine and not even working on Windows. When I tried to download it, it would keep resetting. Bloody Microsoft. In any case, any help?

The CSS I'm trying to use is this one: http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=4790&DiplayName=CSS v3 with Alloys

Basically, I just want a CSS to show alloys and such. Maybe I should try a different one..

EDIT: Okay, upon further tries the culprit appears to be the gct. And not just that one, tried one from another custom CSS with no luck either. Strange.

 

[Michi]

When I start Riivolution, the Wii boots me back to the Wii menu.
Yesterday everything worked perfectly

edit: It works now :D

 

[Rizaria]

I think my problem may be the Custom CSS code. No matter what, geckocodes refuses it saying "This is not a code" despite how many times I swear at it and tell it it is.

I've tried the edits I've downloaded to that code, and actually doing it myself. Replaced the YYs and ZZs but still it refuses to recognise it. So...what is it about this code that refuses to work? Obviously others have it working. So frustrating, hours wasted so far~

 

[Mr.Chuy]

@Rizaria the sc_selcharacter.pac and the sc_selmap.pac have to be insdie the common5 for it to work with riivolution
the custom css code won't work because it's meant to work with the sc_selcharacter.pac

Ah okay. geckocodes.com still hates it anyways.

So...I hafta put those two files into common5? Dunno how I'm gonna manage that, but if I do, is that all that needs to be done?

Yeah pretty much
I'll it for you if you want me to

 

[Rizaria]

Well, downloading .net now...but I'll hafta install that on my Windows partition, which I may do later. So I may get BrawlBox working.

In the meantime, if it is easy, I would -really- appreciate it if you could do it for me~

I'm not really fussed which one, just want the alloys useable from the main menu. Something like this: http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=8067&DiplayName=spinning green css Although honestly, don't really care for colours/formatting/backgrounds, just the options.

Anyways, if you can, I'd appreciate it. If not, I'll try fumble my way through the process later.

 

[Mr.Chuy]

So just stick to that green one?
It'll be up in a few

Sure, that'd be great thanks. It's more a test than anything, if it works yet I hate how it looks it'll give me an excuse to tinker more later. xD

 

[Mr.Chuy]

Here the thingy
Comes with a gct for the css and stuff for the alloys

Sexcellent, it works. Thanks so much. n-n

EDIT: God**** is this theme hard on the eyes! xD And ew, Naruto and other weird stuff. Well, will totally try and make my own. Thanks for the help.

 

[Chucklez]

CSS still wont work for me. Everything else works.

It wont open my common5 file at all. Is there a new directory it must go in? Help me nao plz.

 

[Mr.Chuy]

pf->system
is it named common5_en?

 

[Chucklez]

Yes. Ah, Thats why.

Not in the -> system directory. Thanks. Stand by to see if it worked.

EDIT: works perfect now...**** I feel kinda dumb. Gotta get out of the habit of using Sc_selchar and its folder.

 

[Flame Hyenard]

Yesterday, my friend installed Riivolution 1.03, so we could play Brawl with different musics. Everything worked fine.

Today, I was modifying the BRSTM files (when my friend installed it in my Wii, there wer HIS musics, so I had to replace a few one), and then tried to play.

I start Riivolution 1.03. It says "Loading...", then it says "Insert SD/USB...", so I plugged my USB key (the same as I used yesterday), and I wait for 5 minutes, getting nothing else than the "Insert SD/USB..." message. So I tried to click "Exit", but it didn't work.

What should I do ? All I touched in my USB key were the musics, nothing else so it can't be from another file. And I didn't updated my Wii to 4.3, just so you know.

 

[Mr.Chuy]

try copying the files over from your usb to your sd card to make sure it's just not the usb messing up

 

[Flame Hyenard]

Well, I used the same USB key yesterday, and the game worked just fine. Plus, the only SD card I have can't fit in my laptop, and I don't have an external SD location working at the moment.

I should call my friend, so I can have some more informations.

 

[Mr.Chuy]

Try doing that i'll have more to work with to help you

 

[Beren Zaiga]

I need detailed instructions on how to install this. i use an older version of Brawl+ though. I think is says 7.0, but what release came before the current one.

I just want to finally be able to test my own hacks again man.

 

[Flame Hyenard]

My friend told me to formate the USB Key. And it is working again ! Now I can finally play Port Town with the music of... Port Town ^^
