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

[Kati]

I wouldn't worry, as the second background looks fantastic.

New stage (kinda)

Mastaklo made his own version of this stage some time ago. Now I've made mine from scratch.

[KTH]

Awesome Mewtwo2000, just awesome.

 

[Evilagram]

Looks excellent. Can you add ledges to the moving part, and can you add a ledge conditionally to the central platform when the moving part is not under it? I played Mastaklo's version and recovery was one of the worst parts.

Sooooo, I finally came back to this level to try and fix the pokemon T-stance and shadows, but I'm having no luck fixing them.

Here is the link to a download of the stage, I'd really appreciate someone seeing if they could fix the problem, or just trying out the level before I post it on Brawl Vault.

Edit: As the file name implies, the stage goes over Brinstar originally.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Your issues with the spawn points are because they are a touch too low.
Just add 0.4 to all the spawn points's Y axis and problem solved.

 

[curtsa01]

I tried adding .4 to each spawn point, as well as other positions above and below the floor, but the pokemon are still motionless.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Try looking at the collisions and check unknown1 for all the floors.

 

[MonkUnit]

What exactly does unknown 1 do for the collisions?

 

[Supreme Dirt]

Something I've always wondered and never bothered checking, do independent Pokémon also T-Stance?

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

I don't know, but it seems that all stage collisions of mine and the stages of others have Unknown1 checked.....

 

[libertyernie]

I'm able to move the shadows in the Planet Zebes stage by moving the right bones (namely, the ones with "Shadow" in them). Unfortunately, the BrawlBox preview doesn't match the position in-game on the X axis, so it'll take some trial and error.
Also, the lava doesn't seem to rise to the level of the stage. Is this intentional?

 

[curtsa01]

Yes it was intentional, but not because I didn't want the acid. I moved everything up because the nodes and platform connectors in Brinstar are in the .rel file i think. I moved the stage up to avoid hitting those during gameplay. If anyone knows how to get rid of the nodes, I'd be willing to try it and move the stage back down.

 

[GP&B]

Razanak had the same problem with it. Hopefully someone will find the values for those.

 

[libertyernie]

Maybe you should just get rid of the shadows by scaling them 0 in all three axes.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

If you can, maybe you can look in Materials for clues on what material controls the unwanted shadow and change that type to 3.

New vid of the OoT Sacred Forest Meadow, with Saria and newly done Forest Spirits (with CLR and VIS animations). Thanks a lot to M2000

You know, VG cats updates more than we update the Stage hacking depository, so I changed that.

Check it out.

Geez, where did all those models you posted come from?

 

[br3compactor]

That's great, EY. I really need to submit some stuff there too...

EDIT: Can you put them all in a .rar so I can get all of them? The .txt too.

 

[libertyernie]

Is it okay if I include Planet Zebes in the Classic Expansion Pack? link
I'll remove the shadows first, and the lava isn't too major an issue.

Just downloaded them all. They are great. I wonder where they're from.
Some of them are very fittin' for some plans I have.

 

[TCRhade]

Someone should have an archive like that, but for character models.

 

[curtsa01]

That's a great idea to put an expansion pack together now that all the levels from the N64 are done (or close, in my case). Feel free to use my Planet Zebes stage. If you do figure out how to get rid of those shadows and/or fix the pokemon T-stances, could you let me know what the problem was?

 

[libertyernie]

The shadows I just scaled to 0 in the animation, and I'm pretty sure they're gone now (I can only play in black & white at the moment, since I don't have composite cables.)
For the Pokemon Trainer, I just realized you didn't change those PokeTrainer0E/0N/1E/1N/etc. bones. They should be the same in X and Y translation as Player0E/0N/etc. I'll change that right now and see if it works.

EDIT: Doing that PokeTrainer0E/0N/etc. change moved the collisions upwards.
EDIT2: Here's the stage with no shadows: http://www.mediafire.com/?umq3qqa343b8a89

 

[curtsa01]

You just reminded of what happens when i play the stage with at least one pokemon trainer and at least one character that is not pokemon trainer. All the stage collisions move up and down along with the moving platform on the right. I don't know if that helps, but I guess it cant hurt to know that.

 

[libertyernie]

I released Classic Expansion Pack v3.0. It adds 36 stages for a total of 77, just one shy of the maximum of 78. (I do this so I can have different icon layouts on each screen of the stage select.)

How do you get rid of specular lighting?
The model I'm using has specular lighting that's freaking out.

Make the specular texture completely invisible?

 

[FrozenHobo]

nvm. its coming back to me

 

[libertyernie]

Can anyone think of a way to make a conveyor belt on an otherwise static stage? Could moving collisions be used for this?

I guess I could do something like that, but with a very small slope so the two platforms seem almost parallel.
The problem would be that when the animation loops, the characters on the conveyor belt would end up on the left platform (or slightly under it.)

 

[n64billy]

Instead of making one long single piece of belt, have segments of them running in line with eachother, so that once a segment is completely inside the right platform, the animation loops starting from inside the left platform, any appears without causing and other trouble as if it was just a new piece...?

 

[libertyernie]

I should be able to do that with two segments. Thanks!

 

[n64billy]

No worries, glad I could help

 

[libertyernie]

This stage freezes during the match for no apparent reason. Anyone know why?

How to edit what item spawns in wifi waiting room

Open st_otrain.rel in a hex editor. I use HxD.
Change the following lines at the offsets listed.

0x4C4 - 38800031 -> 388000XX
0x540 - 38800031 -> 388000XX
0x558 - 38800031 -> 388000XX
0x658 - 38800031 -> 388000XX

XX is item ID.

Item IDs can be found at http://opensa.dantarion.com/wiki/Items

NOTE: Changing it to spawn item ID 00 (Assist Trophy) will not spawn anything.

Here's a rel that won't spawn any items.

 

[br3compactor]

You can avoid WWR's sandbag spawn with the item spawn file from FD's .PAC

I changed the sandbag to something else, but with a code, so that's one cool find.

 

[Segtendo]

There was a code I found that turns the Sandbag into some little star that hurts you. Touch it, and it'll never come back.

 

[standardtoaster]

Right, but using those codes also affected the sandbag item outside of WWR (not the HRC one).

 

[libertyernie]

If you want a stage with no item on it, just make it into an FD-compatible stage by adding a ModelData[2] (the Mewtwo2000 way). What standardtoaster's doing seems useful if you want a stage that repeatedly spawns some other item. (like Bob-ombs. Gonna try that right now.)
