Stage Collision Editing

[toddtj]

What's the program used to edit stage collisions, death boundaries, and camera angles?

I recently installed a few of the custom Mario Kart Wii stages, and they certainly look nice, but seem terrible for gameplay(IE: Almost every custom imported stage in existence is a walkoff, even when there are walls barely past the death boundaries...).
If possible I'd like to fix some of these problems.


Thanks

BrawlWall and brawlbox can do this
I'd suggest using brawlwall since it's easier

 

[toddtj]

I'm using it now.

Much appreciated!


Is it possible for brawlwall to add and delete collisions? I don't see how to do it, but I assume it must be possible in order to add custom collisions to all the model imported stages.

 

[Mr.Chuy]

Yeah it's possible
I'm going to give you a little trick of mine
Use brawlwall to edit the points and then open brawlbox and preview the Stgposition and copy the chanes over

That went a tad over my head, I'm afraid.

Keep in mind that this is first time I've ever even downloaded brawlbox.


I ran the brawlbox executable, after unzipping, and went: File ->Open->STGCRAYON
I see one "arc" that expands to three other "arcs" that expand to other miscellaneous files(I assume).

I did not dig very deep, but I was unable to find any file called Stgposition. I also looked for the option to "preview" any one of the files and was unable to find such an option.


(The yoshi's island that I opened is just a simple texture hack- I'm using it because it's the least changed stage pac that I have on hand)

go under arc 2 then modeldata 100 that's usually where stgposition is located

For a visual of the the stagePosition model and to edit it, I'd use BrawlWall.
For collision editing, I'd use BrawlBox.

Alright, I've found it and previewed it, but I don't see the stage's collisions- I only see the spawn points and camera/death boundary points.

 

[Segtendo]

To see collisions in BrawlBox, there should be an icon in the file that has "Col" in it.

I've got it all working and have accomplished the fixes that I set out to.

The help from both of you was very much appreciated ^_^


I have a new question about brawlbox- rather than make a new thread, I might as well ask here, I suppose.

How does one alter the angle of the plane that the stage's collisions are edited? That is, if I wanted to rotate the camera's position to fight on the width of Final Destination, rather than it's length, how would I do that?

I realize that I would have to completely change the collision boxes, of course, but I don't see how to change the angle at which I am allowed to draw them.

You would rotate the model, not the collision. The collisions are always "facing forward", so you use an animation to fit the model into the correct spot.

I feel stupid for asking, but where could I actually GET the stage collision PACs?
I now know everything about how to edit them from looking all over for a link to download them...

 

[Mr.Chuy]

They're inside the the stage file
But because i'm awesome i'll link the files to ya
