Roy Texture Replacement (Lucina)

[Ayane]

Hey everyone,

So I know that for the most part you can use Marth texture mods with Roy. But there is a specific one that I want to use that seems to not work no mater what I try. So I was hoping someone with more modding experience could help me out!

I don't have enough posts to link yet but they are both on brawlvault and the one that does work is made by Demon_of_Elru

The one that I want to work is made by Albafika

I noticed that all of the FitRoy files come with .pac and .pcs while the Lucina that I want to work only has one of them. I tried to use BrawlBox save as to create the missing file but the game would just freeze. Any ideas how I can get this to work?

You don't replace FitRoy.pac and FitRoyMotionEtc.pac, those contain the moveset, character attributes and animation files.

Since Lucina comes with a .pcs file only you have to manually change it to pac.
Follow These Steps:
1. Open BrawlBox
2. Open FitLucina0X.pcs
3. On the right there is text there
4. Click on compression
5. Change it to "None"
6. save as FitRoy0X.pac
7. Put it into his directory
8. Enjoy!!!

Or you could simply open the .pcs, go to save as, and save it as an archive pair. It'll generate the proper .pac file and .pcs.
Then just rename it as FitRoy0X

Ah never knew about that thanks for saying that.

Awesome I will try that out! Thanks!

Okay so unfortunately it didn't work and here's what happened.

So I took the FitLucina0x .pcs file. Opened it up in brawlbox v.71 changed the compression to None and did save as pair. Then I took those and put it on the SD card, tested it out, and it still froze. So I opened up the files again in brawlbox v.71 and it said the compression was still LZ77 or w/e it was before.

So I took those same files and opened it with brawlbox v.63d and it said the same thing. So I went through the process again of setting compression to none and saving, re opened and it still said none. So I thought the problem was solved. Tested in PM again and freezes again.

I thought maybe that file had been under too many compressions or saved differently since I was going between 2 versions of BBox.
So I regrabbed the original FitLucina0x.pcs again and went through the process with BBox v.63d. Once again when I re open the newly created .pcs the compression is set back to LZ77.

So then I tried again but instead of saving as a pair saved it as a .pac. Reopened the original .pcs changed comp and saved as .pcs. Still same problem.

Any ideas on whats going on here? Is there another version of BBox this won't happen with?

Freezing will also occur when trying to modify other characters. Apparently, .rel files no longer work with Project M from what I've heard, so that puts replacing DDD/R.O.B. off the table for me. The models appeared to work fine, I saw no visual oddities and it displayed as it should, however, after spawning (instantly or just before the countdown reaches "GO!") the game freezes with a buzzing sound. Is this the same kind of freezing you run into?

 

[Ayane]

I ran into 3 different kinds of freezing. I'm not sure what .rel files are but this same mod works with Marth just not with Roy yet. It usually happens as soon as i select my level and I sometimes get the buzzing noise as well. Its never actually let me start a match with the mod yet. It did actually happen once whenever I just highlighted Roy.

 

[Xenozoa425]

I would recommend just not using those over Roy then, at least not until they're specifically made or mentioned to go over Roy.

 

[fdigl]

And that probably goes for the other characters too, seeing as how it hasn't really worked for non-Marth characters in any recent builds of the game from what I've seen.

 

[Ayane]

Ah well every texture mod has worked for every character besides this one for Roy :/

Which is unfortunate because that's my main lol.

 

[WalkingAngel]

I will try this out today and I will see what happens.

 

[Ayane]

Sounds good! Lemme know what you find out!

For sanity, you haven't changed the portraits yet right? Testing skin first alone?

It also sounds like you're mixing up both methods of getting the pac/pcs pair.

Do this only:
Open it
Save as
Change the file type to pair.
Save

Then stick it in the roy folder. And make sure you rename them both to fitroy00 (or another slot)

Then confirm that that doesn't work =)

Yup I'm only changing the skin haven't touched any portraits. And that's what I did to get the pair and still didn't work

bahaha.
I had no idea who 'lucina' was. i looked it up to try it, and realise its on my build as a marth costume.
we call it 'anorexic bird marth' and i keep forgetting to get rid of it

 

[Ayane]

Ya there is a lot of different versions of her lol.

 

[WalkingAngel]

Yeah lucina crashed on me as well when put on roys character costume slots

 

[Ayane]

Oh well guess im sticking to the ver of Lucina I already have working lol. Thx for trying!
