Stage Roster Expansion --COMPLETE--

[cmart]

Anyone know what I should put Dracula's Castle over? When I used FD, most of the stage was invisible.

75M. I'm not positive, but I believe all or almost all of the Robz stages are over 75M as well.

 

[Four Sword]

No one has an answer?

It's kind of a big deal for when I take my wii with me to a tourney.
In fact I have one coming up this Saturday; now I could of course turn off the hack for that time being, but I'd rather not.

If anyone has any clue on how to fix the previously stated issue; please share your knowledge with me

 

[libertyernie]

Four Sword: can I see your custom SSS code?

Enable random expansion stages v1.1 is NOT in my GCT and only custom0E appears to be giving the problem right now

 

[libertyernie]

I guess I don't know, then.

 

[mugwhump]

Thanks cmart, that works.

Does anyone else get freezing sometimes when going back to the CSS from the victory screen? It might just be my crappy hard-drive, but it seems to happen more often with Expansion stages.

 

[mario6420072]

I have found a way to use 176x176 ssp images, so it won't be needed to resize images:

If you only use a sc_selmap.pac whose size is bigger than original the game will freeze, but if you replace your custom sc_selmap.pac in the common5.pac too and use wiiscrubber to insert both (the modified common5.pac and sc_selmap.pac) in a .iso the game won't crash. I have tested it only replacing with wiiscrubber and works but I haven't tried the file patch code (although I think it does not work).

Then, my hypotesis is that sc_selmap_en, sc_selcharacter_en and sc_selcharacter2_en are size-dependant (they haven't a real filesize limit). The filesize of all of them should be less than the filesize that each one would occupy in the common5.pac file.

 

[Akuma2120]

A lot of people seem to think the tracklist modifier causes crashing, although I've never had any issues with it. You can give it a try and see if it works for you or not.

The code itself is rather simple, but I'll try to be thorough.

[Tracklist Modifier v1.0]
0610F9BC 00000014
60000000 60000000
3C80811A 7C601B78

1417DF44 7CE03B78
1417DF4C 7C0400AE
161A47E8 000000LL << Bytes of data

This part is always the same, except the purple LL. For that part, just count each byte of data that follows in the data section and convert to hex.

00000102 03040607 << Default Stages
08090A0B 0C0D0E0E
0E0E0E0F 10111213
14151515 16171819
1A1B1C1D 1E1F2D2D
2D202122 23242526
2728290A 2D2D2D2D
2D2D2D2D 2D2D2D2D

This part determines what tracklists play on the original stages. The unintuitive part is that you don't specify what stage's music you're changing - that's determined by the order you place the stage IDs in. Right now the stages are in the default order, so you can look up the IDs in the list at the bottom to figure out what "byte" corresponds to each stage. Then simply look up the ID of the stage you want to switch with, and put that number for that byte instead. As an example, if I want to change battlefield's music with Frigate's, I'd see that Battlefield is ID 00 (right at the beginning), and Frigate's is 0C. I'd just change the 00 byte at the beginning to 0C and voila done. It's perfectly fine to have multiple stages use the same tracklist as well, so don't worry about that.

X1X2X3X4 X5X6X7X8 << Custom Stage Tracklists
-------- --------

This part is the same as the above, but for the Custom Stages. They go in order, so STGCUSTOM01 is the first byte, followed by STGCUSTOM02, STCUSTOM03 etc. Again, place the IDs of the stage tracklists you want to play on that stage, and keep filling this part in for however many custom stages you have. If you have a line that ends early, just fill the rest of it in with zeros. Once you're done, count up the bytes in the first section with the bytes in this section (ignoring any filler zeros, but including all the 2D entries) and convert to hex for the LL number above.

E0000000 80008000

And this is the end of the code, don't fool with it. And hey, here's the stage IDs again for completion's sake.

Tracklists:
00 Battlefield
01 Final Destination
02 Delphino
03 Luigi's Mansion
04 Mushroomy Kingdom (1-1)
05 Mushroomy Kingdom (1-2)
06 Mario Circuit
07 75m
08 Rumble Falls
09 Pirate Ship
0A Eldin Bridge
0B Norfair
0C Frigate Orpheon
0D Yoshi's Island
0E Halberd
0F Lylat Cruise

11 Spear Pillar
12 Port Town Aero Dive

25 Pokemon Stadium
26 Rainbow Cruise
27 Corneria
28 Big Blue
29 Brinstar
2A Menu

Hopefully that helped somewhat.

I'm still very confused on this, like in this part:


00000102 03040607 << Default Stages
08090A0B 0C0D0E0E
0E0E0E0F 10111213
14151515 16171819
1A1B1C1D 1E1F2D2D
2D202122 23242526
2728290A 2D2D2D2D
2D2D2D2D 2D2D2D2D

Why are there so many 0E's if there's on 1 default halberd stage? And where does Battlefield's ID start when there 4 0's in the beginning? Are the first 2 filler 0's?

Ok let's say I want to change Luigi's mansion tracklist to halberd's, Luigi's mansion is the first 03 digit in there right? so I should just do this right?:


00000102 0E040607 << Default Stages
08090A0B 0C0D0E0E
0E0E0E0F 10111213
14151515 16171819
1A1B1C1D 1E1F2D2D
2D202122 23242526
2728290A 2D2D2D2D
2D2D2D2D 2D2D2D2D

Is this all I have to do is change that one digit? in the first line?



Then my next question is, why are there X's in the custom stage tracklist?:

X1X2X3X4 X5X6X7X8

Do you leave those X's alone? Let's say I want STGCUSTOM1 to have halberd's tracklist, would I just do this?:


XEX2X3X4 X5X6X7X8

 

[[TSON]]

X isn't a hex value, something needs to go there.

 

[Akuma2120]

X isn't a hex value, something needs to go there.

Thanks, but why are there multiple lists for halberd's tracklist in the default stages? 0E is listed multiple times, say I would want it to load a different tracklist, would I have to replace them all?

 

[Dantarion]

I have found a way to use 176x176 ssp images, so it won't be needed to resize images:

If you only use a sc_selmap.pac whose size is bigger than original the game will freeze, but if you replace your custom sc_selmap.pac in the common5.pac too and use wiiscrubber to insert both (the modified common5.pac and sc_selmap.pac) in a .iso the game won't crash.

:D I think this guy is onto something important.

 

[cmart]

Bizarrely, I never noticed that some numbers are repeated like that. I wonder what exactly they control...

 

[mugwhump]

Hey, I downloaded a Snakeman stage based on FD. It came with a .rel to make it go over Flat Zone so everything would be 2D.

Is there a way to get the 2D effect on a custom stage? I'm using the FD .rel, but everything's 3D there (it obviously doesn't work over the Flat zone .rel).

edit: VVVVV no, I mean I used the "st_custom for Flat Zone 2.rel" and it didn't work.

 

[blerb]

Sure. Just find a Flat Zone .rel patched to work for custom stages. That should work.

There's a pack of them a few pages back.

What that dude said about filesizes

Has anyone tried this out?

 

[Akuma2120]

Bizarrely, I never noticed that some numbers are repeated like that. I wonder what exactly they control...

Maybe they're the missing tracklists? Because some aren't listed in the default stages of the code, for example:

00000102 03040607 << Default Stages
08090A0B 0C0D0E0E
0E0E0E0F 10111213
14151515 16171819
1A1B1C1D 1E1F2D2D
2D202122 23242526
2728290A 2D2D2D2D
2D2D2D2D 2D2D2D2D

NO WHERE in that block is there an 05 for the MK - Underground stage, was this written wrong or is it really just not there? I wanted to replace that stages tracklist with PTAD's to get 12 songs on it

 

[cmart]

That sounds like a good bet actually. I might just go through and swap out ALL the Halberds with different tracklists and see what changes to what... I'll give that a shot tomorrow

 

[Akuma2120]

Hm, now I`m thinking it might be for regular stages too, I know that the ID for the MK above ground level is in there but when I tried to replace it, nothing happened, I tried a few stages ahead and behind it and nothing seems to have changed, it`s like the 04 in that block does absolutely nothing...

I tried that last night before I went to bed, I don`t have much time since I have to wake up at 4 for work

 

[Akuma2120]

Just ran a quick test, those extra IDs for Halberd and Castle Siege as far as I can tell do not affect other stages, I only checked out like 10 but I'm guessing the rest were the same

This means you absolutely cannot change the playlist for the Mushroom Kingdom levels, I got a bunch of mario songs together for nothing >_>

EDIT: Damnit, stupid computer, can some mod merge my posts please?

 

[TCRhade]

Does anyone have a st_customxx for Online Training rel that doesn't have Sandbag?

 

[standardtoaster]

Here's one.

 

[TCRhade]

Will this work with the Stage Expansion code?

 

[standardtoaster]

I don't see why not. It's the normal WWR rel file with a few lines edited to remove the item spawning.

 

[libertyernie]

You might need to change the

38 A5 00 00 38 80 00 37

to

38 A5 00 00 38 80 00 00

if it's not changed already.

 

[TCRhade]

Okay... why did playing on a custom stage in slow-mo in Traning mode cause my game to Silent Crash?

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

We need more info than that.

 

[TCRhade]

It's all the info I got, Yosh... I just left it there unattended to get more pics for my selmap.pac and when I came back, it was frozen stiff, but the music was still playing normally.

 

[sinistersnakesennin]

Ive got a crazy question/idea.

What if I were to make a STGCUSTOM using Spear Pillar's rel (st_tengan.rel) and name the files STGCUSTOM##_01, STGCUSTOM##_02 and STGCUSTOM##_03.

Does the SRE support this?

 

[libertyernie]

I doubt it, but you could try.

 

[MechaWave]

I posted this like 3 times in separate threads and have yet to recieve an answer. Seriously, this is ridiculous.

1. When I want to add a stage that has its own REL file associated with it (instead of the expansion code ones) the game freezes, such as Blue Moon Battleship (first at top). This irritates me, especially when most of the good stages have them. Is there a workaround?

2. How can I change the music on the custom stages?

 

[Thany]

@MechaWave

I think I can help you with problem 2.

I have two stages that are from the Brawl+ download I got a while back. One is the "SSE Jungle" and the other is a smaller, decrepit version of Hyrule Temple.

Seeing as these two stages share the same music as Battlefield, by changing one of battlefields' tunes to something else, it effects the music on those stages as well, seeing as how they share it.

Hope that helps <:3

 

[RedSoul77]

For the .rel issue, you either have to guess which stage the stage was originally built over and then use stage switcher, or hex it over a custom stage yourself (Neither of which are really that hard). Blue Moon Battleship, for example, is probably made over final destination like most stages, even though it comes with a pirate ship .rel.

As for music: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=290659&page=17

Well the Stage Switcher confuses me. Can you show me how to do it (either way is fine.)

 

[RedSoul77]

I generally find hexing module files more reliable. Just open the .rel you got with the stage in a hex editor (I'd recommend HXD) and search for this string:

38 A5 00 00 38 80 00 __

Then change the value after the 00 to the value you want depending on the stage you want to replace. Custom stages use a second 00 as the value. Also, pretty sure a couple of stages have this string in their .rel more than once so make sure you change them all.

Edit: http://ssbbcustom.wikia.com/wiki/Module_files

Everything you need is there.

 

[MechaWave]

I generally find hexing module files more reliable.

Thanks so much! ^_^ Makes me look so noobish lol xDD but I was impatient as I waited 3 days for something so simple. =3

 

[MechaWave]

So sorry for double posting but I have two more questions >___>

1) I have all the essential codes: File Replacement 2.5.1, Stage Expansion 2.0, and Maxed SSS. I got the tutorial MiscData80 file which already has the PAT0 placement for adding icons done, so all I had to do was replace everything. Well I did and yet none of my custom icons appear. Why?

2) I did the 38 A5 00 00 38 80 00 XX thing and replaced XX with 00 and it worked on every single stage that didn't have it already as 00. However some RELs already have it set as 00 already and I assumed it would work nonetheless. But it didn't. An example is the KC-MM Club, it gives the annoying beep sound. What can I do to make it work?

 

[libertyernie]

If it looks like it already had a 00, keep searching through the file and you might find a place where it isn't.

 

[MechaWave]

Okay... that doesn't really help me. And please tell me how to fix the images. =_='

 

[RedSoul77]

Are you using your sc_selmap on its own or did you insert it into common5.pac?

 

[mugwhump]

MechaWave, I'm using KK-MM City and it works fine. You're using the st_custom for 75m.rel, right?

Hey, I downloaded a Snakeman stage based on FD. It came with a .rel to make it go over Flat Zone so everything would be 2D.

Is there a way to get the 2D effect on a custom stage? I'm using the custom FD .rel, but everything's 3D there (it obviously doesn't work over the "st_custom for Flat Zone 2.rel")

So yeah, anybody know if there's a way to do this?


One more question: is there a way to choose which expansion stages are part of the random selection?

 

[MechaWave]

Are you using your sc_selmap on its own or did you insert it into common5.pac?

On it's own. Using the File Patch Code.
