[SmashClash]

Can't help you with the Gecko/Homebrew stuff. I got that through IRL friends copy/pasting stuff to my SD card and trial and error.

Also, dude, your SD Card is completely messed up. You're gonna have to do a little revamp.


If you're trying to get those to appear on the character selection screen, you're doing it wrong. You have to put those in the sc_selcharacter.pac that goes in the directory:

X:/private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/menu2

RSBE is interchangeable with RSBP and RSBJ (I THINK) depending on what Wii you have. If you live in America, ignore this.

Do you have Brawlbox? If you don't, download it here:

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=238861

Once you have Brawlbox and a sc_selcharacter.pac I can help.



First off, I'm assuming the FitDonkeySpy0#.pac files are only there because they're an alternate set of textures that you interchange with your current ones and you know that they aren't actually going to appear on the game. If you don't, they don't.

Second, you have the directory all wrong. The directory is:

X:/private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/fighter/donkey

Also, make sure that you're using the File Patch Code v3.5.1 [Phantom Wings]. It's in the first post of the thread. The other directories for your stages and characters are also in the first post.

Ok, where do I put the File Patch Code 3.5.1?

:3

EDIT: Do I edit the brawl+list?

For the directory I want?

No idea what that is. You're over complicating this. Put a folder named 'private" in the root of your SD card, then a folder named "wii" in the "private" folder, and a folder named "app" in the "wii" folder, and so on and so forth until you get the directory I mentioned before.

Oops, I meant to edit last night that I found the directory before you posted. X_X

The information I need now is!

1. Where do I put item textures in the directory?

2. How do I put in the File Replacement?

That is all.

Yes, I have an Ocarina Code Manager.

But what's weird is at the bottom right hand corner it has. #/256

I can't go passed 255! D: I see other people don't have that.

Is there another download?

FALCONE... WARE MKIII (Credit to Hozu for the changing Captain Falcon Face in the background, and credit to Wander for the original stage. I just made it a lot more Falconized. ;P)

YESZ!!! (The other two pictures that appear here are different as well.)

Captain Falcon Ninjas.... What more could you want?

FALCON POSTS!!

Jimmy C!!! (I may revamp him later to make his pants blue.)

This... Did not come out the way I wanted... But I kept it because it's just funny as can be. FALCON SHARK FTW!!
Download Here

Also... Is there a way to put an image in spoiler tags? And somebody uploading my textures to KC wouldn't hurt.

 

[kaffei4lunch]

How do you change the stage preview images?

 

[Rushisu]

Oke now a serios question. When is the PAL Music coming out?

Well, it's not much, but if anyone has Lonely Island's "I'm on a Boat!" hacked onto Pirate Ship (the way every self-respecting hacker should), it's a good match.

I need to know if I'm doing this right because it doesn't seem to work how I do it. Halp?

http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/8513/sdcardview3.jpg

Thanks.

Based on your 1st picture I've viewed, all you need in your SD card is: apps, codes, private, txtcodes, gameconfig. Gameconfig allows you to use unlimited codes when you load it off from Gecko. Also, make sure you have Homebrew if you don't; you probably do have it though.

This should be how it's formatted on your SD card and in its folders:

apps/Gecko OS 1.9.1
codes/RSBE01.gct
private/wii/app/RSBE/pfmenu2
private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/fighter
private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/stage/melee
private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/sound/strm
private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/menu2

Click here to REDOWNLOAD the CodeManager and extract this to a safe place (not your SD card) because you might have a few files missing (which is probably the codemanager configuration file) which is needed for the program to know where to save it. The rest are useless so they should be deleted or moved where you can keep them safe for a backup.

Download the following onto the txtcode folder in your SD card
Brawl Codes
Brawl BRSTM Tracklist
Brawl Character Names
Brawl Character Colours
Brawl Stage Names

Once you have downloaded the Code Manager into a safe place, not your SD card, open the application and open the brawl codes text file I provided you. Check NTSC-U File Patch Code v3.5.1 by Phantom Wings, which allows you to replace textures, CSPs, HUDs, music, and more. You may also check other brawl codes in the text file to your desire. Once you are done, click export and put it on your codes folder in your SD card.

You're now set with codes and everything. Read below to know more where to put a certain file in a directory.

The following text files above are very essential for your naming needs for a character, song, or stage. For example:
• If you downloaded a Delfino Plaza stage and you don't know what to do with it, open Brawl Stage Names and find what Brawl reads for Delfino, which is STGDOLPIC.PAC, so you'll have to rename whatever the download name for Delfino is and name it as STGDOLPIC.PAC. Where's STGDOLPIC.PAC supposed to be? private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/stage/melee
• For a character name, Brawl reads Donkey Kong as just Donkey so you name the file name as FitDonkey##.pcs or .pac. If you want to replace his red costume, you name it as FitDonkey01.pcs or .pac. Use the Brawl Character Names text file for your to use to rename them to what brawl reads the characters' names. Where's FitDonkey01.pcs/pac supposed to be? private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/fighter/donkey
• For a song name, if you downloaded a song and you want to put it as your Final Destination stage, you can replace Final Destination's Credits (Super Smash Bros.) music and rename it to T01. Use the Brawl BRSTM Tracklist to rename them to what Brawl reads for each song. Where's T01.brstm supposed to be? private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/sound/strm

If you know what to do now and everything is set, insert the SD card on your Wii, load Homebrew, load Gecko, and load Brawl. You should see "codes applying" and test your textures/music.

I took the time to help, so yeah. o-o

 

[Count Typo]

Thanks Chibi.

Question: Where can I download unedited .pac's or .pcs's for characters and stages? I want to start to edit stuff from scratch without going over already-textured stuff.

Edit-To-Add, I'm editing a FitMarioMotionEtc.pac right now. What does the "fire" picture do? I changed it to a bright neon greenish blue, and it didn't change the Fire Balls or Mario's side smash. And yes, I'm using the file right. The cape texture in the same .pac is working perfectly.

Brawl Data Partition

The link right up there is how Brawl's files are organized, as well as how Brawl reads them. You can easily find them the way you set up your files to, which is on the pf folder.

I'm pretty sure the fire image is his fireball texture if it does say TxtData in green or something. Also, make sure you didn't press recommend when you replace a file; the format should still retain its old format.

If it's not that... it's probably because Mario's fireballs are still red ingame while the texture is a different color itself.

I went back and looked at it again, and the textures were working...sort of. The fireball was completely red/orange, but had a slight greenish glow that was only visible if I zoomed in really close...which kinda defeats the purpose of having a texture. How do I change the color that the fire ball is ingame? Do I have to edit something in ModelData[0]/3DModels(NW4R)/WpnMarioFireball/Colors? If so how do I?

EDIT: Ummm...I took a look at the Data Partition, and the files are like...completely empty. There's nothing to export or look at or anything...how exactly am I supposed to use this? X_x

 

[TommoPuppy]

POST 400!

Here's something I'm working on (it's still just basic colours instead of being actual textures though, but these won't really take long)

Models are obviously temporary but you can tell where I'm going with the textures. I think I might actually try my hand at vertex hacking these properly, since I'm on a 5-week break right now.

I just looked at one of Mario's textures and I found a pic of a textured fireball. Apparently it's just an edited texture rather than an edited model.

http://www.brawlsnapshots.com/snapshots/212330.jpg

You might as well change the image/texture instead of using the original texture because the original probably has that half transparency or shiny or something like that.

You don't have to change the model of the fireball; it's probably just the texture. o.o

YESZ! Btw, all I did was Falcon's face in the background when a minigame was won/lost, the rest was done by Wander.

 

[Manikku]

Hey guys, I'm new to texture hacking, but I tried out the Custom Stage Parts for starting, and I'm pretty proud of the result. These are the desert parts, but with realistic dirt and rock textures.. All that stuff.

Available at Brawl Vault

My second texture work done, I wanted to make the Forrest parts to make custom Green Hill Zone stages. I took some textures from the original GHZ and put some of them together to make the textures. The custom stage shown is also with the pack. Includes ******** looking totem pole.

Available at Brawl Vault

 

[ChickenWing13]

I have a problem with gecko OS

I honestly don't know why all the stage textures aren't working. Only a few are.

 

[Mota]

A couple questions

1. A couple characters with .pac that add coloured slash to Marth, Pit and Link for example. Those characters have no audio when attacking, is there a reason for that? How can I change it so their character vocal audio is returned?

2. Smashville, I add a texture but it doesn't appear. I understand there are more then one STGVILLAGE_00/01/02e tc but which one do I put, does it require the texture on all? onfused :

1. Sounds that you, like me, are from Europe/Australia/Brazil and therefore have a PAL Wii. Those are NTSC-U moveset files so they have different sound codes. If it's just changing the colour of the swipes, you could export the textures from it and import them into the PAL moveset files, or I could do it for you if you want.

2. The numbers are from morning to night and also the KK Slider version. If you were given just one file, put it over all 5.

 

[Mota]

Ack yea, I got PAL Australia.
What do you mean by export the textures and import them into the PAL moveset files.

Thanks a lot for the help.

If you open a moveset file in Brawlbox you'll see all these effect models and stuff. If you export the textures from these models and put them into a PAL moveset file for the same character, then you can have both the coloured swipes AND the voices.

 

[Dumbfire]

Too bad some of the chances are in the model itself, and the model has the sounds with, so you'll need to port those with the pal pac converter or PSA.
Oh how much I want the whimsical glow =/

[TommoPuppy]

I didn't say export the models though. Just the texture files. And besides, it can't hurt to try.

 

[ChibiIceClimberz]

I have a problem with gecko OS

I honestly don't know why all the stage textures aren't working. Only a few are.

Be more specific.

Make sure you're using Gecko 1.9.1 and not 1.9.2 or 1.9.3, since they're buggy.

Did you rename them to their right names?

 

[Beren Zaiga]

For some reason the FRC doesn't work when I load Brawl + through Smash Stack without the HBC. Any idea why?

 

[Jane]

3. Open code manager and get one of the codes below (based on your region, PAL, NTSC, or NTSC-J) and set up your .gct (If you don't know how to do this, just ask someone in the thread, I'm sure they can help! Or you can just create a text file and import it into the code manager).

could someone explain to me how to do this? i dont understand how to use the code manager :/

 

[Tanspriter]

When editing Sonic there's some weird texture files like FitSonicHeadMask and FitSonicEnv0#. What exactly are these? I left them unedited but after changing the texture on Sonic's head to orange with black stripes it has a sort of blueish glow on it. Any help would be appreciated.

 

[Segtendo]

Mask and env control the shines of Sonic's body.

I'm pretty sure you don't even have to do that, just use the rsbe01.gct in the pack thing because it already has those codes

Never mind, the problem I was having was unrelated to the texture I wanted to put on the sd card.
