Textures now possible without ISO Hacking! (File Patch v3.5.1, fixes info.pac problem

[Bizkit047]

Does anyone have the v for vendetta mk .pcs? Checked everywhere and can't find it x.x

It's on Stack Smash. It's Vknight or something in the listed files.

Thanks :D

wasn't too sure about the file name so i couldnt find it x.x

 

[Sukai]

Who here have experienced game freezes?
Which character was selected when it froze?
I'm asking, because I found out that my texture hacks freezes only when I have a character who requires a .pac file selected.

Maybe certain .pac files causes interference.
Look into it.

A forum member from the Kitty Corp. forums found a new version of the File Replacement code. Here's what it reads.

v2.0
-Load speed is unaffected.
-Flawless file loading.
-Does not require SD Loader of SD Files.
-Still does not support music...

Whether or not this has been tested is unknown. Also, if it does work, some tests should also be done to see if it works with the CSPs.

Also, chances are, you'll still have to use the Disable Custom Stages code with it.

 

[Mic_128]

Does not require SD Loader of SD Files.

That does this mean?

 

[Finns7]

That sounds good


Question, why does my game freeze when I transform from zelda to shiek or vise versa, they both have there pacs on

 

[RoyMaster4]

Wait, that does not require SD Loader or SD Files? And it's much smaller...

I'm a bit worried about it. Anyone want to test it?


My game still freezes if I don't wait at the CSS even with File Replacement 1.3 and the Disable Custom Stages 1.1....

 

[Mic_128]

RoyMaster, it may be a specific texture. Out of the 20+ I got, 3 textures always 100% caused it to crash.

Where do we put the character select portraits on the SD card? Same place as the character textures?

 

[Recoil]

I'll go test it right now.

@Mic: Read up on alex's guide on this forum on how to install csps. It should give you a menu, system, info files after your done with the cpuash steps, where then after you drop it into the /pf file.

It's every single texture that causes it. I have to wait at the CSS for the wii to stop working.

And it's not in the same spot.

 

[Recoil]

Well I just tried v2.0 and it didn't work for me. I assumed PW meant "Does not require SD Loader or SD Files. ".

Also Roy, maybe a suggestion to remove every code except File Replacement v1.3, SD Loader v1.1, and SD Files and try it then?

EDIT: Tried adding SD Files to FR v2.0, still didn't work :[


@ Roy, I would say it would probably it would be a faulty texture but you said every one freezes so I'm not sure what problem it would be ><;

The only other codes I have on are the unlimited camera rotation (Which shouldn't matter) and the disable custom stages.

 

[Phantom Wings]

Well I just tried v2.0 and it didn't work for me. I assumed PW meant "Does not require SD Loader or SD Files. ".

With this version, files are loaded from the root instead of the pf folder, so everything in the pf folder should be copied to the root of the sd card. I posted a note along with this code that said as much but it looks like it was missed.(I intend on fixing this soon, but I had to release something for the time being.) The code works perfectly on it's own, it doesn't need the sd Files, sd Loader or disable custom stages.

Oh, and Mario And Sonic Guy, just to dispel any confusion on the authenticity of this code, could I ask you to add the tag [Phantom Wings] after the name of the code? I initially forgot to add it and now there seems to be some people who think it's a fake because of it's shortness (and with a good reason, what with it not working when the textures are in the pf folder.) I'm trying to go about getting people to fix that and add the note as to where the files need to go, but word spreads quickly.

 

[RoyMaster4]

Does it load the CSPs flawlessly? Just checking...

EDIT: Just tried it. IT FIXES EVERYTHING!
I just need more CSPs and textures now...

Sorry about that. I found this information from the Kitty Corp. forums, and the member that posted that code never did display your screen name.

If anything, you should remind that user about this as well. From what I recall, the Kitty Corp. forum member that posted that code goes by the screen name, Shadow. Also, here's a link to that post.

[Bizkit047]

To the people who have it freeze when Zelda transforms: Delete the pac files for the Zelda/Sheik textures and generate them yourself. It's probably a bad pac file.

 

[Sukai]

I would love to snag that code for use, but I have the loader codes for Brawl+ 4.0.

 

[Villainous]

Does anyone know how to do the custom character portraits? I was wanting to make mine so I could tell what custom color I'm using but I can't seem to find a tutorial or anything on any of the sites. Anyone know how to do it?

 

[Revven]

Added the new code + explanation.

 

[Finns7]

What does that do to for brawl+ gct/

Do I put the RSBE01.gct on the root now instead of the pf folder??? Or only remove the textures (fighter folder) and CSP's (menu and system folder)

No Problem, though really, I should be the one to pay more attention to what I need to place my name on. Usually it's not such a big thing to me. But as I said, between people expressing their doubts and the fact that it didn't in fact work if you have them in the wrong folder, I just wanted to make sure that everyone knew that the code was indeed mine and therefore, guaranteed not to be a hoax. (that's not to say that one day I may pull all of your legs and release one behind your backs)

What does that do to for brawl+ gct/

Because the extended gct loader runs on the old Dynamic SD Loader code, it will still need to be in the pf folder. (on that same topic, the new code should work without interrupting the extended .gct loader.)

 

[MK26]

So, lemme get this straight:
1) The new code doesnt require any of the other codes, including Disable Custom Stages.
2) If you use the Double GCT method, this code, the Dynamic SD Loader code, and the SD Files code, all go in the root GCT.
3) If you still use snapshots, it still needs to go in the root GCT and not the BIN snapshot.
4) This code is a helluva lot better than the old code.

How did you get it so short?

 

[RoyMaster4]

I added a few new textures today, and now, it freezes before even reaching the 'Please put on the wrist strap' screen! What's wrong now?
EDIT: Now it got past it... finally... wonder what was keeping it?

EDIT 2: Bah! Not again! WHY IS IT FREEZING!?

If you don't want your files all scrambled around in the root of your SD Card, you might want to stick with File Replacement v1.3 and/or File Replacement v1.1 for now.

Besides, Phantom Wings did mention that he'll try to fix up the code.

 

[RoyMaster4]

Ok, I'm thinking about reverting back to the old code. This new one causes my wii to *usually* freeze before even reaching the wrist strap screen, while the wiimote is ini the off-state. It takes 5+ tries before it actually works. I'd rather have it actually work and have to wait at the CSS then have to deal with this.

 

[dabridge]

Thanks for the new code Phantom Wings. ^-^ I was really getting sick of the textures not loading sometimes/long loading times.

This was happening to me too, but only once, and the first time I tried it. Are you putting the pf files on the root folder? Everything still needs to stay on it's on folder after that.

This was one of the bugs that I had to deal with when making the code... For some reason the code will freeze only on startup - I'm guessing that it has something to do with the SD routine not having been unpacked yet. I thought I fixed it by adding a delay for the code when it's loaded but I guess it still needs to be extended a bit.

 

[hotdogturtle]

So wait, do we move the "fighter", "stage", etc. folders to the root, or the "captain", "dedede", "diddy" and whatnot?

 

[Ryusuta]

Here's a silly question: how do you actually DOWNLOAD the textures that are listed on Stack Shack? I don't see a download link anywhere.

 

[Mr.Black]

I followed the video guide but only few textures seem to work.
A typical path to a texture on my SD card is: I:\private\wii\app\RSBE\pf\fighter\MadWorldGanon00.pac
(that particular texture doesn't normally work)
Any help?

 

[Wolfo]

...Change the name of the file to FitGanon00 .pac?

EDIT: And add the ganon folder to your path, I guess.
...Dunno, just double check everything.

 

[Bizkit047]

So wait, do we move the "fighter", "stage", etc. folders to the root, or the "captain", "dedede", "diddy" and whatnot?

To put it simple, just copy and paste the contents of the PF folder directly to the root.

 

[Ryusuta]

Guys... any chance you could answer MY question...?

 

[Sukai]

Guys... any chance you could answer MY question...?

On the middle right side, along the red links, there is one titled, "Released Content".



It seems the new code has some bugs.
I'm only now starting to experience loading issues with my texture changes, while testing something out in Brawl+, FitSamus00 didn't load, I No contested, and wait a bit longer and then saw it appear.
I don't mind the wait, because it's almost seamless.
However when the new code is perfected, I'd like to request one with the loader codes that Brawl+ needs to work.

You should have it look like this

I:\private\wii\app\RSBE\pf\fighter\ganon\MadWorldGanon00.pac but MWGanon renamed FitGanon0#.pac (.pac files are optional for some, but all need .pcs files as well) where # is the number of the costume. A list of all numbers and all costumes is in the first post.

EDIT: Anyone know what directory to put the New Strap Loader retexture?

 

[Ryusuta]

Thanks, man. I'll check it out.

So anyway, guys, I did the first of what will hopefully be many texture hacks.

I've always felt the one bad thing about Pokemon Trainer's color scheme is that Charizard had no blue palette. That's always bothered me, so I wanted to correct that. It's just a simple color change, but I think I did a pretty decent job on it. I'll let you be the judge. I call it "Fire and Ice." Hope you guys like it.

Apparently this brings hacking to a whole new level. Of course, I only do CSPs and fighter textures.

 

[Msingh0]

maybe in the folder strap? can't say for sure testing it out now, I'll tell you when I'm done.

EDIT: nope, hmmm where should it go then....

Well, good to know it was the code and not a problem with my Wii or disc. Hope this gets fixed soon!
