Kirby King, you'll never cease to amaze me!

Seriously, between the new news page, the friend finder, and this, you've been keeping busy! Thanks for everything!

 

[joenopride]

So awesome. Seriously, there is nothing stopping custom stages in tournaments now.

 

[Vicious Delicious]

Bravo, Kiki. You've been on a roll lately. You rule! Can't wait to try this out next week.
Thanks for the premium extension again by the way

 

[Idfection]

Epic. Can't wait to see this in full force next month. Good luck adding the other features.

Edit: Personaly, I think the most important aspect that you talked about adding would be the thumbnail view, for ease of browsing.

 

[joeysmash]

i thought it said stage bowser at first... any way this is great thanks a lot guys.

Good, then, because the thumbnail view is up and running.

BTW, we won't be having any more node problems, just so you know.

Wait, so is the thumbnail view a true preview of the stage, or just a picture related to its background like you mentioned?

Thanks for letting me know about the nodes, lol. I've seen more double posts in the past week than I have all the rest of the time I've ever been on SB.

 

[Kirby King]

Yup. the thumbnails are actual previews of the actual stage. It was briefly just a picture related to the background (or just a generic stage symbol), but now it can get all the information it needs directly from the stage file.

This is huge...

Wow.

I doubt there will ever be a faster way to search for the perfect stage anywhere on the internet all throughout brawl's future, and you pulled it off before the game even hit our shores.

Truly impressive.

 

[QueTee]

So awesome. Seriously, there is nothing stopping custom stages in tournaments now.

My thought exactly.

Well done, this is great. b^_^d

 

[LLDL]

Why can't I upload? I have a mario stage, but it tells me database error

 

[MarkRoe]

This is great. Can't wait to make full use of this.

 

[T-major]

this idea is the awesome. TO THE MAAAAXX!!!!

will deffinatly be useful. great idea!

Sorry, there was a stupid error in some code I had added. It's fixed now.

BTW: so you guys know, the three stages I uploaded are all stages that I found somewhere in my searches or were sent to me, so you can assume they were all used just for testing. So, no, they're probably not ideal for matches.

Thanks, I love the auto-thumbnail preview.

I uploaded two more stages, check them out!

 

[Zukaza]

You guys here at Smash boards are awesome. You put so much time and effort into this website and trust me all of us here are eternally grateful. This is the haven of smash enthusiast around the world. Thank you very much for all of hard work, and congrats on getting the stage browser up, it will definitely bring a new way for smashers to enjoy the game even more. Please continue doing a great job, your efforts are never unnoticed.

 

[Rebound]

How did you get the preview files to show?, I need to know!

 

[Kirby King]

Information about all of that (and the programs you need to run it on your computer) are available in this thread:
http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=142971

(You might want to read from the end, as the first several pages preclude the release of the tools.)

 

[Splitoverload]

Amazing. Great work dudes. I'm still wondering about the binary file though.

 

[Ness EX-2 Plus ALPHA]

This is a great tool for people to get their stages known and distributed. I really appreciate how you've taken the initiative to create such a masterpiece.

Only bug I've noticed is the music that is displayed.

 

[Kirby King]

Hmm, I had suspicions that the music list might be off. Could you tell me what stage specifically is showing the wrong music, and what the actual music track is?

EDIT: Alright, I fixed the problem that was causing it not to show music at all for certain stages, but I'm not sure if that's what you were talking about or not. Let me know if you notice any stages with the wrong music, though.

 

[Zonic100]

This. Is awesome. :D

 

[Brentos4o8]

This is really awesome.
When I get Brawl I can't wait to DL and upload. =]

Yeah, one problem was that some stages didn't have music tracks at all.
The rest had the wrong music. One example, on this stage:

http://smashboards.com/stagebrowser.php?do=view&stageid=17

"Music: Smash Bros Brawl - Melee Battlefield 01" where the musica actually used is the Golden Sun Remix (I don't know what it's actually called, but if it helps it is #273 in the soundtrack I downloaded).

Another one is:
"Music: Nintendo Wii - Wii Shop Channel"
Which is actually Tetris Type: A.

Every stage's music wrong, as far as I can tell. Hopefully it won't be so hard to fix and you just need a different offset or something.

 

[Luigi player]

Wow, the stage browser is awesome! I can't wait to download some stages when I finally have the game (which can take a while since I'm living in europe >_>)!

There will probably be 1000s and 1000s of stages...

 

[nealdt]

Ah, beat me to the punch. But thanks for the heads up, Kiki. (I like my version more, of course, but I'm sure you guessed that ).

 

[Storm101]

Sorry if this is a obvious question but how can I acess it other than the link provided in announcements?

 

[Kirby King]

Alright, I updated the music index so that most of the stages should have the correct music. There might be some that still don't (none of the lists of music in the game I've found have lined up perfectly yet) so if you find something with the wrong track listed, let me know.

Storm: we'll be adding a link on the navigation bar soon to things like the Stage Browser and the Friend Finder, but in the meantime you might want to bookmark the address so it's easy to get to.

 

[ro0kie42]

ummm.....dumb question but where do i find the stage files on my memory stick? and can i upload them directly? no need to run some crazy conversion program right?

 

[Mic_128]

Nope, no conversions needed. Stick the SD card in your wii, copy them over, then stick the SD card in your comp, and go upload. The wii does make a folder on the SD card that the files are saved in, that any new stages you get must also be saved in.



Anywya, uploaded a few I've made, not that inspired (though I do like halfpipe) and grabbed a few of Ness'.

 

[FREZ]

I downloaded a stage, put it on my sd card, then put the sd card in my wii and it says there is no content. Any ideas why?

 

[Kirby King]

You need to make sure that you're putting the stage into the right folder on the SD card; there's a specific place that it has to go in order for Brawl to recognize it, but I'm not sure exactly where it is. You also need to be sure that the filename of the stage doesn't change.

 

[Ricard_the_dragoon]

I like this Idea very much, I have just uploaded about 6 stages, and I have downloaded several stages.
I wonder why people haven't been recreating the SSE levels ?

 

[Ness EX-2 Plus ALPHA]

You put the stages in these folders in your SD card (depends on your version) --

JP Version:
\private\wii\app\RSBJ\st\
USA Version:
\private\wii\app\RSBE\st\

 

[shiny9104]
