Stage .H.A.C.K.ing Central

[Mit]

Final critique on the Metal Mario stage:

The biggest remaining differences I think are the two humps at the edges of the main stage. The left hump should start at around the halfway point on the stage, and reach all the way to the edge. It's just two short (length-wise, not height-wise) right now. On the right side of the stage, the very last part of the hump (the flat, and not angled part) isn't extending far enough out from the stage. It should be longer.

Some might say your platform is a little too close to the stage, but I'm sure it's fine for Brawl. 64's jump mechanics were different and when you put platforms like that it's too high for Brawl. So it should be fine.

Also, the entire base of the stage (the crystal part) is just awkwardly tall. Should be a bit shorter.


Although, these are just final nitpicks. If you think it's good enough to be released, go ahead and do it I'm sure plenty of people are still more than happy to play it.

Alright, thanks, Mewtwo. I'll try it out and give you the results.

Edit: For some reason, I cannot edit the values when I imported the Scene Data.

Nevermind, works now.

Poor GameWatching... that stage is taking a lot of effort... but I bet it's gonna be downloaded a lot.

 

[-BigSharkZ-]

Hey, what about me? Lol.

I'm doing more than importing just a few blocks, and besides, I also had to resize. Three times, actually. I also had to restart a huge part of my stage because when I played Majora's Mask, it was totally different from my memories and pictures I saw. That, and I also first created the textures by myself, but then used some from the actual game.

Also, in the download, I'll include the song I made for the stage.

If you really want us to pity you, we could complain until you vertex the statue to look like this

 

[-BigSharkZ-]

Th front of the statue is a normal block, but the top isn't, that would be hard to make, to be honest.

Also, the fog worked, but it's above the stage, so I only see it when I jump. How do I fix this?

 

[Mewtwo_2000]

I need a pic of the stage and the fog O.o

Which stages are you working on now, Mewtwo2000?

I'm not working on a thing right now, I have an exam tomorrow.

And after the exam, I'll keep working on Saffron and Facility. Saffron should be finished for a beta soon, Facility will take a little more time.

Sure, give me a minute.

The first two pictures show the fog, which can only be seen when the camera zooms out, when I jump, or when I get far away from the opponent (In this case, same as camera zooming out).

The second picture is when I'm near the opponent. I want the fog to be not as thick (Look at the picture below, for the bottom of the tower), and I want it to be under the platforms, or at the same level.

Not really, I answered in an edit ^^U xD

800th post. =D

The pictures are in the previous page.

 

[FrozenHobo]

oooh sexy.

 

[-BigSharkZ-]

Thanks. Also, if anyone has an idea on how I could make the statue look more like how it is in-game, I'd like to hear your suggestions. The top is actually a vertex hacked stage builder part.

 

[Mewtwo_2000]

Okay. Decrease the float1 to a lower number. If it's 200, try 50.

And make new pictures with that new number.

 

[-BigSharkZ-]

What the heck? When I try to change the values, it works, but when I save it, the values get changed to "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory ".

 

[br3compactor]

Just posted my CSS and SSS on BrawlVault... nobody did take pics for me so I posted it with a pic of the Background I animated instead -_-

It's based upon a location within Terra Tower from Chrono Cross.

I'm basically free until next Tuesday so I'll be finishing a lot of incomplete work.
First characters, stages later as they take more work... Metamine was the exception because it was 2D and it would improve my stage hacking skills. lol

 

[TommoPuppy]

Finnaly finished it.

Do any of you know it?

Let's just say that I'm feeling GUNBOUND!
(sadly, someone beat me to it... twice! )

That Sky was being a pest for a while now, but I got it fixed.

I'm done with the Big Shell.

Close brawlbox, quit and put the SD and try again O.o

 

[-BigSharkZ-]

Weird, that didn't work either. But, I managed to fix it by replacing the Scene Data again and doing it once more.

Edit: Heh, it worked first, but now, not anymore.

Hey guys, I decided to add a chao playing a guitar in the background of guitar destination. So I used the edited version of the chao trophy that was in OizenX's radical highway, and when it launched ingame, this happened:

I've been having a lot of problems with messed up textures in stages recently.

 

[TommoPuppy]

It looks like a Sackchao!

Anyway, I have a question about stages. Do PAL and NTSC use the same REL files? If not, where can I find some PAL ones?
EDIT: Google solved my problems.

 

[NecroMasterX]

More like a demented sackchao.

 

[-BigSharkZ-]

Well, I'll do the fog later, I guess..

Any suggestions for how to make the head statue look better?

 

[Segtendo]

BSZ, you inspired me to get an O'chunks avy.

 

[-BigSharkZ-]

Lol, where is it? =o

Also, I took a break from hacking. I'm playing PS3 now. =)

It looks pretty good. I like the attention to detail tat you gave. My main gripe however is that it's small, and not easy to play on. Me and the CPU kept falling down the hole on the left, with no way to grab onto it either.

Gotta sleep now. Might do some new work tomorrow, but in the afternoon of course

Did you take the guitar model from my toonlink guitar-erang hack? If so give credit...OR YOU WILL DIE!!!

This isn't a chat, man. Please avoid posts like this one.

 

[Matteron]

Should I try to remake my 3D airman stage, or should I make my Star-um...SECRET STAGE!!! duh duh duh
Edit: By remake, i mean fix it and add new things, because the old one was bland...

 

[-BigSharkZ-]

I say you make it on Mushroomy Kingdom so it scrolls forward, with your custom blocks and collisions. I had a similar idea, and it's also related to Mega Man, but you'll have to wait for it. =3

 

[Matteron]

Has anyone figured out damaging collisions yet? I need them for the stage...
P.S. I'm sticking with Airman for now, and will probably make the new one after.

 

[Mewtwo_2000]

Get a stage with damaging collisions and move the bones with damaging to wherever you want. The damage comes with the rel file, so you would need to base your stage in one of the few ones with this property.

Ok got it, just one more question. Is it possible to make a model load different textures?

 

[TommoPuppy]

Would Mushroomy Kingdom even scroll correctly using Stage Builder parts?

Well, if I'm right, then it would scroll because Mushroomy Kingdom uses an animation to scroll

You mean having different instances of the same object with a different texture each one? Sure. In some of my stages I'm using multiple copies of the same objects, and they all have their own textures. Just have to change the texture names inside materials1 (inside each material are the textures, no material name change is needed), texture1 and texture2 (if exists)

 

[Fen__]

Only semi-related, but this reminds me of when someone placed the smash ball's texture over Mario so that Mario's texture was animated. Has anyone looked into how the few animated textures in the game work?

 

[-BigSharkZ-]

I believe the texture animation allows you to mirror the texture, rotate, translate, and scale it, but I'm not 100% sure.
