Stage Roster Expansion --COMPLETE--

[SmashClash]

(Saw this 10 min. ago; was reading the replies)This is great! Awesome job!
I can't wait til updated BrawlBox is released and the release of the code that'll have 255 extra pages on the SSS.

The button(s) for each extra SSS page after Melee should be named
"STG Expansion Pg.1", "STG Expansion Pg.2", etc.

EDIT: 15 or 20 Stages per page.

 

[Gaddswell]

I think there was a limit to how many stages we can have on one stage select page. That's probably why Eternal Yoshi's code is causing a freeze.

I don't remember the limit though. I think it was 35 stages per page?

EDIT:

Ah, here it is. Straight from the stage select screen tutorial found here:
http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=241911

Stage Select Screen: Tutorial and Screenshots​

When you create a custom SSS, the stages order themselves in rows automatically. The number of stages per row for a given total number of stages is shown below.
. . . Note that I did not test each and every one of these. I tested about 20 and found a pattern to fill in the rest of them. In most cases, they should be correct.
. . . I did not test above 34 stages (save for a 40-icon test that resulted in a freeze), so I do not know how many more stages can fit before the SSS will not work.
. . . Likewise, I do not know how low below 10 stages one can go before a freeze, but I wouldn't be surprised if a single-icon screen works.

Total icons - stages per row

34 - 566665
33 - 566664
32 - 566564
31 - 565564
30 - 565554

[SmashClash]

Brawl Stages + Melee Stages. Then we may have 7 pages of 35 stages and an 8th page with 10. That's ten pages of stages total. For the 8th page you may want to merge the 10 stages with "Melee Stages" page for Project: M.

 

[Dantarion]

Yay for PW randomly appearing!
Ill have to take a look at this code and how it works sometime.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Yup it froze.
I'll try 30 this time.

 

[JediKnightTemplar]

Epic. The tracklist modifier code is what sealed the deal.

Now... I wanna see someone try to load this up with 255 stages. ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH?

The better question is if your SD card is man enough, or if your wallet is man enough to pay for this gigantic SD card, or if you are man enough to sell your body for said money. I can tell you I'm working the corner tonight.

 

[br3compactor]

PW, Maybe I understood it wrong but...

You said that "a bytecount value - this is a simple matter of counting the two digit pairs in the data below - or counting the number of lines and multiplying by 8 (all in hex)"

So, since the max value would be FF, which in decimal is 255...

255/8= 31,875, that means that I can only use a max of 31 lines, each having 4 stages, which would mean 124 custom stages at max.

Did I understand it right?

Also, call me dumb but I didn't understand anything from your last post so it's like my questions weren't answered. Well, that is, unless you explain me 'em.

 

[SmashClash]

I hope this gets more publicity and attention. I'd like some videos of this.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

I had very....... strange results.

I'll remake the code.

Using the base code on the OP is still giving me issues.

It's like an infestation of BFs or FOs.
>_<

No matter what the SSS values, using 2.0 seems to fill the screen with a large amount of Battlefields.

Even using the old SSS values from the 1.0 code(which worked perfectly with it) seems to not make a difference.

Tracklist modifier is working beautifully.... or is it???

I'm going to try one more time, this time without the tracklist modifier code.

Aha! TheTracklist Modifier Code conflicts with the SRE code!

 

[SmashClash]

So is that what PW needs to fix?

 

[TheEnigmaLiesBroken]

Hey PW just wanted to give you a Thank you before you up and disappear again. Been a while, what have you been up to besides the Mario Galaxy Editor?

Love the new addition. I will do some testing with it tonight and post results tomorrow. We Brawl Minus guys could really use this Especially with their continuous struggle to decide whether or not to freeze Pokemon Stadium 2

I'm interested in how it would function with PAT0 supported new Icons / would it only use new MenSelmapIcon images, or would it also support the use of additional PrevBase, FrontStname, SelchrMark & GameName images as well?


If you ever feel nostalgic again, hit up that Clone Engine :D

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Yes. This was tested and successfully gives you about 26 stages.
Note that BF is at the end as well as the start for some reason.

[069008734]

Cool, thanks Yoshi for the code works beautifully. Too bad you cant put all orginol stages on one page though. Oh and thanks PW for the Stage expansion codes really good stuff!

 

[Mit]

What does this look like in game? Anyone have screenshots?

It's capable of 255 stages, but I'm sure there's no way the Stage Select Screen could possibly present you with that many options. How many can it actually give you right now?

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

The SSS limit is about 36 per page IIRC.

 

[069008734]

Hey Yoshi I think you accidentally put 75m on both pages with your code.

 

[Bero]

I start rebuilding PAT0 function from now.

 

[Knightcrawler]

Hearts forever, PW. Hearts from Zelda, Double Dragon, Mortal Kombat, wherever! You get 'em!

 

[Dantarion]

I start rebuilding PAT0 function from now.

http://dantarion.pastebin.com/1r3jmCpN
You get stuck lemme know

 

[Bero]

You get stuck lemme know=If you get stuck, let me know?
If so, thanks, but this isn't so difficult that I can do it myself without your help.

 

[Dantarion]

I was just offering support!

Rebuilding this file seems like it would be a bit of a pain. I just like writing dumping scrips, not full editors. Anyways, the game seems to use PAT0 for going from a characters cosmeticID->the actual icon, and the same thing for stages.

I bet theres a lot of places this sould be used to shake things up!

[Bero]

To tell the truth,Kryal had written many codes. All I have to do is fix and add some codes.

 

[Wiscus]

Oh my god ;;
So amazing, I cant wait to play with this ;;
oh my..

Thank you :~:
Such amazing work!

 

[hero1771]

wait, so, can I remove stages from the SSS? My game is scratched and therfore I can not play most melee stages besides hyrule. Could I just move Hyrule over to brawl, on the other page, add all custom stages?

also some questions.

1. Can we add another page?
2. can we remove stages from the roster?

 

[br3compactor]

Well, since I was pretty much ignored for a while, i'll ask again.

- What you'd need to rename stage? For example, STGCUSTOM4F.PAC and st_custom4F.rel?
- Would the custom stages be Final Destination based stages? If people don't know, they'd not be able to create proper .rels.

I've made tests with a code of my own.
It works, but...

- It only shows 15 stages on the CSS.
- Since I don't know what to name the stages/modules or based in what they're supposed to be... I mean, I get a FD based stage, and since I don't know what is the custom stage based off of, I need a module. But to what should I convert the FD module?

PW answered this:

"Ah, sorry about that. I forgot to mention that the code uses its own override id of 00.
Anyways, don't forget that once you've added the stages to the index, you also need to add them to the roster (either the Brawl one or the Melee one.)"

Call me dumb but I didn't understand anything so it's like my questions weren't answered. Well, that is, unless someone explain me 'em.

Also, PW, Maybe I understood it wrong but...

You said that "a bytecount value - this is a simple matter of counting the two digit pairs in the data below - or counting the number of lines and multiplying by 8 (all in hex)"

So, since the max value would be FF, which in decimal is 255...

255/8= 31,875, that means that I can only use a max of 31 lines, each having 4 stages, which would mean 124 custom stages at max.

Did I understand it right?

Eternal Yoshi, you seem to have understood it all, so please gimme a light.

 

[JetAurion]

Wait, hold.

So in theory, you can have 255 stages, but the game will only show a certain amount?

 

[shadowtroop]

This is a bit confusing. GUI anyone?

 

[Hozu]

Oh wow, this is really awesome stuff. I've always wanted different music for the extra stages. I managed to get the updated expansion code and tracklist modifier codes working properly with Riivolution although I haven't tried for more than 9 stages (I left the SSS code unchanged).

I do have one question though. Will the code that allows the Random Stage Select to pick from the 9 stages pick any stages past that? This is the code:

Enable Random Expansion Stages v1.1 [Phantom Wings]:
C26B7A6C 00000005
3860001F 2C120000
41820008 3860000A
7C101800 41800008
38000001 7C800379
60000000 00000000

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Er.... what?
My SSS allows for over 30 stages and they work.
The tracklist modifier conflicts with the SSS for some reason which may be why you only get a few stages.

@ST: Just use my fixed SSS.

@Br:You haven't used the old stage roster expansion system?
The rules for .rel making are the same except for the fact that the file name needs 2 digit numbers.
If you don't have a module, get one and use the module of the base stage the custom stage works over.

When you do look at this page for one more thing to do to ensure it works
with the stage roster expansion system:
http://ssbbcustom.wikia.com/wiki/Module_files

 

[Hozu]

No, I was saying that I purposely left it at 9 stages. I'm still using the old SSS code because I don't have any extra stages that I like to go around atm.

Oh and if you mess up the Tracklist Modifier code by putting too small of a value for the number of bytes in the spot for it you'll freeze up after the title screen. Or are you freezing somewhere else?

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

I'm NOT freezing.

Using it Messes up the SSS.

I ended up with an infestation of Battlefields.

Only a few of which were Custom stages.

 

[[TSON]]

Well, since I was pretty much ignored for a while, i'll ask again.

- What you'd need to rename stage? For example, STGCUSTOM4F.PAC and st_custom4F.rel?
- Would the custom stages be Final Destination based stages? If people don't know, they'd not be able to create proper .rels.

Call me dumb but I didn't understand anything so it's like my questions weren't answered. Well, that is, unless someone explain me 'em.

You know the stage ID string that you change in the REL? Change the stage ID to 00.

 

[hotdogturtle]

The SSS limit is about 36 per page IIRC.

Does this mean that we're capped at 72 stages?

 

[Phantom Wings]

wait, so, can I remove stages from the SSS? My game is scratched and therfore I can not play most melee stages besides hyrule. Could I just move Hyrule over to brawl, on the other page, add all custom stages?

You can remove stages using the Custom SSS code, but an alternative method would be to copy the original melee stage modules and .pacs onto your SD card so as to run them from there - thus bypassing the corrupt files on your DVD. Mind you, it could be the MyMusic. Try opening the stages in the MyMusic menu and seeing if it freezes. If it does, you should see about finding the MyMusic Fixer code.

Pages may or may not be able to be added someday, but either way, it would be a lot of work to make.

Eternal Yoshi, you seem to have understood it all, so please gimme a light.

STGCUSTOM4F.PAC would become STGCUSTOM04F.PAC and st_custom4F.rel would become st_custom04F.rel. I may have been a bit unclear about the module id thing, but as TSON said, you need to adjust the base module's id to 00 using the guide Eternal Yoshi posted. The reason only 15 custom stages are showing up on your stage select screen is because you need to add the new stages by modifying the Custom SSS code. Even though you may have added the new stages to the index(the Z/W data), you still need to add them to the rosters.

The LL value is just an arbitrary input block that I put in to help people understand the code better - the actual value of the code allows for a maximum of FFFFFFFF = 4294967295, /8 = 536870911 lines - plenty for the 255 (I guess it would actually be 72 for now) stages allotted.

7C101800 41800008

Yes, it does.

Er.... what?
My SSS allows for over 30 stages and they work.
The tracklist modifier conflicts with the SSS for some reason which may be why you only get a few stages.

Could you PM me a copy of your code file as well as the tracklist modifier you're using? I just tested your Custom SSS v.05 code against my version of the tracklist modifier and it works fine (incidentally, that extra battlefield at the end is caused because you have 0x22 melee stages but your count reads 0x23 which causes the extra 00 to be read - resulting in a copy of Battlefield(index 00))

Gives you 32 33 Custom stages on the SSS.

 

[hero1771]

You can remove stages using the Custom SSS code, but an alternative method would be to copy the original melee stage modules and .pacs onto your SD card so as to run them from there - thus bypassing the corrupt files on your DVD. Mind you, it could be the MyMusic. Try opening the stages in the MyMusic menu and seeing if it freezes. If it does, you should see about finding the MyMusic Fixer code.

Pages may or may not be able to be added someday, but either way, it would be a lot of work to make.

I see what you did there. But the thing is, it doesn't freeze, when I pick it. It says, "the disk could be not read" and most of the melee stages I could not play.

Wait, does that mean I could copy the files on the melee SSS, open up new slots in the first page, put them there, then make more slots and delete the old ones on the second page? See, the thing I wonder is if the music is unreadable, or simply the stage is. Or, the csp is it, or even, since 7/8 of the melee stages were unreadable, 7/8 of the new slot I'll put in will be?

Also, Phantom, if you want to know what stage switcher is, you know how before, to change a module file you would have to go through a hex editor and change it to 00 or 07 etc? Well, it changes it with doing that but much simpler. Much MUCH simpler.

 

[br3compactor]

I use the Stage Switcher APP to convert modules.

"STGCUSTOM4F.PAC would become STGCUSTOM04F.PAC and st_custom4F.rel would become st_custom04F.rel."

What? 3 digits? "The only difference is that the number for the .pacs and .rels must be padded to two digits (1 becomes 01, 9 becomes 09 and whatnot) and that the numbers must be in hex." Shouldn't it be 2 digits only?

"The reason only 15 custom stages are showing up on your stage select screen is because you need to add the new stages by modifying the Custom SSS code. Even though you may have added the new stages to the index(the Z/W data), you still need to add them to the rosters.
The LL value is just an arbitrary input block that I put in to help people understand the code better - the actual value of the code allows for a maximum of FFFFFFFF = 4294967295, /8 = 536870911 lines - plenty for the 255 (I guess it would actually be 72 for now) stages allotted."

Couldn't you make it easier for us and post a code that'd allow for full use of the SSS? 72 if it's the limit. I'll help you by posting a code you can edit.
