Howdy, I'm Spire. I've never posted back here before, but it seems pretty lax. Now I've been dabbling in Brawl hacking for quite some time now and I know next to nothing when it comes to coding as I'm just an artist and a conceptualist. I have in mind the Smash Bros. I want, so I've worked up a spreadsheet detailing exactly what I need to do. Firstly, here is a screenshot from the CSS Organizer 2.0 showing exactly how I'd like my roster to appear, followed by a list of the characters and how they will ultimately change.



[collapse=Character Roster]
  1. Mario
  2. Luigi
  3. Peach
  4. Yoshi
  5. Bowser
  6. DK
  7. Diddy
  8. Wario
  9. Olimar
  10. G&W
  11. Link
  12. Toon Link → Young Link
  13. Zelda
  14. Sheik
  15. Ganondorf
  16. Samus
  17. Zero Suit Samus
  18. Charizard → Ridley
  19. Pit
  20. Ice Climbers
  21. Pikachu
  22. Jigglypuff
  23. Squirtle
  24. Ivysaur
  25. Lucario → Mewtwo
  26. Kirby
  27. Meta Knight
  28. King Dedede
  29. R.O.B.
  30. Ness
  31. Fox
  32. Falco
  33. Wolf
  34. Captain Falcon
  35. Snake
  36. Sonic
  37. Lucas → Geno
  38. Ike → Cloud
  39. Marth → Sephiroth
  40. RANDOM
[/collapse]
[collapse=Stage Selection]
  1. Battlefield
  2. Final Destination
  3. Mario // Delfino Plaza
  4. Luigi // Luigi’s Mansion+
  5. Peach // Mushroomy Kingdom 1 & 2 → Mushroom Kingdom/Peach’s Castle 64
  6. Bowser // Mario Circuit → Bowser’s Castle
  7. Donkey Kong // Rumble Falls+
  8. Diddy Kong // Jungle Japes+
  9. Yoshi // Yoshi’s Island (Brawl)
  10. Wario // Warioware Inc.+
  11. Zelda/Sheik // Bridge of Eldin → Hyrule Castle 64
  12. Link // Pirate Ship → Fire Temple
  13. Ganondorf // Castle Siege → Castle Ganondorf (Dracula's Castle)
  14. Young Link // Temple+
  15. Samus/ZSS // Norfair+
  16. Ridley // Frigate Orpheon
  17. Pit // Skyworld+
  18. Ice Climbers // The Summit+
  19. R.O.B. // Yoshi's Island (Melee) → Bomb Factory (SSE Stage)
  20. Kirby // Grassy Green Greens
  21. Meta Knight // Halberd
  22. King Dedede // Rainbow Cruise → Dreamland
  23. Fox // Corneria
  24. Wolf // Lylat Cruise
  25. Falco/Captain Falcon // Big Blue → Falcon Flyer
  26. Captain Falcon // Port Town Aero Drive+
  27. All Pokémon // Pokémon Stadium
  28. All Pokémon // Pokémon Stadium 2 → Pokémon Colosseum (Pokémon Stadium 2+)
  29. All Pokémon // Spear Pillar → Bell Tower
  30. Mewtwo // Mario Bros. → Mewtwo’s Lab
  31. Ness // Onett → Fourside
  32. Olimar // Distant Planet
  33. Smashville
  34. Mr. Game & Watch // Flatzone 2
  35. Super Mario Characters // Hanenbow → Paper Mario Stage
  36. Geno // 75m → Forest Maze
  37. Cloud // New Pork City → Mt. Nibel
  38. Sephiroth // Brinstar → Northern Crater
  39. Snake // Shadow Moses Island
  40. Sonic // Green Hill Zone+
  41. Pictochat → The Pod (Ween)
This selection was done in part to the concept of every character having a respective stage. I hated that Electroplankton had a stage, yet King Dedede, Ganondorf, Bowser, and various others didn't have obvious corresponding stages.[/collapse]
Now, back to the CSS. Of course it froze upon auto-inserting the file after saving it from the CSS Organizer because it has 40 slots rather than 36. I recall reading somewhere about a compressing method, but also that I may require a special set of codes to enable this to work. In short, I've yet to get it to work.

I'd like to note that I'm willing to start from scratch since my current SD card is cluttered with scattered hacks that I've just completely forgotten about. If someone could walk me through the steps necessary to make this happen, then that'd be truly awesome. Also to note: I've already downloaded all of the necessary files and placed them in placeholder folders on my desktop for the time being, so aside from the probable code issue, it's just a matter of drag and drop.

Good god why are all of you mods?

*cries*

And good luck with this project. I've been away for a while and see some incredible changes happening. Looks like I should hang around a bit more. Might make some textures once more. Anyway, good luck once again!

Looking very cool. I like the layout of the select screen. It seems to emphasize the chosen characters more than the standard Brawl one.

Its kind of weird seeing Geno as a square character and not a mario character (even though he IS technically a square character haha). I wonder if it would work with Geno in the second row and Snake in the bottom row with Olimar in the second to bottom row. Would make more sense to a noob like me, but your way also works =)

Good luck!

I see you separated Zelda and Shiek as well as Pokemon Trainer, and you also added ZSS, so you will need codes for it to work.
Follow this and you should do OK.

Also since you moved character icons to the lower part of the CSS and the Player squares to the upper part, you will need this code
