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

[dabridge]

Oh right, because the game doesn't really cache music so every time it loops it has to read off the SD card. The easiest way would be to stream the large file as it's read (large strain on the SD), and it's really the only way unless you somehow delay the game to read the whole track. Even then it has to do this everytime it loops, and doesn't work because that interrupts gameplay.

Is that the reasoning behind why streaming is bad? Or really why it's bad for the SD?

Not sure, I would think so though. Phantom Wings is trying to put the song on the RAM so the game reads it from there instead of the SD card... but again, this will take time.

 

[Recoil]

Is it true that streaming music will cause your sd card to wear out, if ever a music code comes out?

@PW - yay for the pf code again.

 

[Mic_128]

Still having problems with that Wii Strap texture, pretty sure it's named differently in PAL. I want to go and open up my copy of Brawl and check where the file is and what it's called, but I can't remember which program does it. Anyone know?

 

[Anth0ny]

It's a great way for your SD card to stop working.

LOL okay I guess I'll pass.

If it's a problem with looping, I guess the music files being used could just be long enough so that the match doesn't end within the length of the song (8 minutes?).

 

[Msingh0]

mic I believe its wii scrubber, should be in menu>strap>whatever.pac

 

[Cyberdude333]

i really need to know if the pal version of v2.1 is coming out

 

[Kazz@]

How do I name the final smash for PT?

FitPoketrainerfs.pac?

 

[Mic_128]

mic I believe its wii scrubber, should be in menu>strap>whatever.pac

thanks, it was wii scrubber. However it also confirmed my suspicions that somethng was different in PAL. Seems it all was! The file's in the root of Menu2 named sc_strap_en.pac Trying to find out how to get it to be swapped sucessfully still.

 

[Saltix]

For the new code, do the textures need to be in the respective character folders on the root? or just there?

Everytime I try and load my yellow lucario it freezes
Also my root looks like this F:/fighter/lucario/FitLucario04.pcs

Also when I try and load Diddy, nothing happens
F:/fighter/diddy/FitDiddy05.pcs

File Replacement v2.0 had some freezing issues, based on what RoyMaster4 has seen.

Fortunately, Phantom Wings updated the code and called it File Replacement 2.1. There are two versions of it last I've checked, with one of them reading files from inside the "pf" folder.

 

[Iamthemovie]

If i'm texture swapping with Bowser, do i name his files as FitKoopa or FitBowser? Same question with all the other characters that have a different name as their folder, do we name the files with whatever the name of the folder is (Gkoopa, szerosuit, purin, etc)?

Oh yeah, and how do I get the TGA files to work, I rename them in the same manner as the .pcs and .pac files but they never appear.

[VietGeek]

I'm using v2.1

Then use the old pf directories and maybe it will work?

FitKoopa; yes;

and you need to recompile the tga into your common5 using CUPASH for any .tga files to show up on the CSS.

Go on msn and help me with this pleasee

 

[Sukai]

FitKoopa; yes

Expanding on this, you do have to use the names as shown by the characters' folder.
So all the same as FitKoopa00; FitSzerosuit00, FitPurin00, FitPikmin00, use the same name of the character's folder name.

 

[ComboBaker]

whenever i try to do this it will say SD error when i am loading the game up GeckoOS. How do i fix this?

 

[Hentekorino]

How do you name Zero Suit?
I've tried so many different capitalization combinations... x_x

 

[Sukai]

How do you name Zero Suit?

Read a few pages in case your question have already been answered.
Not only that, the Original Post tells you what to name who.
Somehow you've missed that....
ZSS in the folders is named Szerosuit.
It's not case sensitive.

 

[Kimchi]

Yeah, this isn't working for me.
Here's my Root for my SD: G:/private/wii/APP/RSBE/pf/fighter/ike with LORDIKE03.pcs and RoyIke00.pcs in the "ike" folder.

I followed pretty much every instruction and it still didn't work. Here's my code list:

Thanks to Igglyboo for support and bkirch for the inspiration.

I experimented and tried to use the textures when I tried playing with computers. Didn't work. Don't mind the other codes, they're not the problem. I tried using the textures without them, and the textures still didn't work. I even waited until the Wii would stop beeping, even though I didn't have to and it still didn't work. I don't understand what the problem is . I don't think I created the GCT incorrectly. I named it RSBE01 in CodeManager and exported it to my GCT. And I doubt I'm passing 256 lines of text. Speaking of text, how do you measure how many lines of text you have? Sorry for the long post XD.
Edit: I have three folders in G:/private/wii/title/ called rzde, rzdj, and rzdp. Are they the problem?

 

[Dragonrage]

Yeah, this isn't working for me.
Here's my Root for my SD: G:/private/wii/APP/RSBE/pf/fighter/ike with LORDIKE03.pcs and RoyIke00.pcs in the "ike" folder.

Did you rename them? Cause if they're still named that way it's no wonder they won't work.

Yeah, this isn't working for me.
Edit: I have three folders in G:/private/wii/title/ called rzde, rzdj, and rzdp. Are they the problem?

The title folder just contains the savegames you copied to your SD card. They have nothing to do with textures.

 

[Mic_128]

thanks, it was wii scrubber. However it also confirmed my suspicions that somethng was different in PAL. Seems it all was! The file's in the root of Menu2 named sc_strap_en.pac Trying to find out how to get it to be swapped sucessfully still.

Bah, not having any luck with this at all. Got it in G:/private/wii/APP/RSPE/menu2/sc_strap_en.pac and nothing. Tried renaming it to strap_en.pac to see if it worked, no such luck. Any other PAL users try this and got it to work?

~sighs~ I posted this in the original code post, but do people pay attention to details? Nooooo. All codes ending in _en are loaded without that particular part in the name and thus must not have it in the name of the pf file. So what you're going to use is sc_strap.pac.

 

[illinialex24]

Ok, on my youtube video I've got some people complaining I believe about both the US and PAL version and I believe they have something in their "private" folder they have to overwrite before they can actually use the texture codes. And I checked the directories, they seemed to be fine. Missing anything??

 

[Hentekorino]

Read a few pages in case your question have already been answered.
Not only that, the Original Post tells you what to name who.
Somehow you've missed that....
ZSS in the folders is named Szerosuit.
It's not case sensitive.

I know what to name the folders, but the PCS/PAC files.
Aren't they case sensetive?

I flipped through the first 20 pages (Word find on Firefox <33) and I didn't get an answer, either.

Can't tell if you don't post anything for me to check... If they're using versions 2.0 or 2.1b then the files will need to be in the root. But aside from that, I'll need to see their directories for myself.

You have to name the files "FitIke03.pcs" and "FitIke00.pcs". From what I hear the bold parts MUST be named that.

 

[Kimchi]

Ah ok. I didn't know I had to put "FIT" Also, how do you determine how many lines of text you have in your text document? I want to put some music hacks in along with the textures.

 

[DarkPikmin]

Gecko's line limit is 256 correct me if im wrong anyone

 

[Msingh0]

yeah, 256 is the limit but I use the double gct to get around it, I have about 2000 lines(super codes, just to mess around!)

 

[illinialex24]

It is but you can Snapshot hack to get around it.

Hey all!
First post! So hi to everyone!


Anyhow, to the point,
I saw this thread and i was very excited to hear of the possibility of loading textures from the SD card. So i used File Replacement 2.1 code, and nothing. My .pcs 's are on the root of the SD. I formatted my SD and tried again, no go.

I can't seem to figure out whats wrong
Any suggestions?

Heres my .gct and .pcs files (7zip'd):
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MD14OXK3

 

[1338h4x]

6. Once you have all the folders you want for the characters you want textures for, visit a few texture sites (listed below) to grab cool textures you like (this list will likely grow over time):

Stack Smash
Kitty Corp.

I can't seem to find download links anywhere on Stack Smash, can anyone direct me to them? And the second link is broken.

There are two versions of the File Replacement v2.1 code. My guess is you're using the version that reads files inside the "pf" folder.

Try storing the files in the directory setup shown below and try again. If that doesn't work, try the older versions of the code. Just keep note that the file replacement versions below 2.0 require the Dynamic SD Loader and SD Files codes to work properly.

(SD drive)\private\wii\app\RSBE\pf\fighter\(Fighter Name)\Fit(Fighter Name)0#.pcs

For more information about the fighter names, go to the primary post of this thread.

 

[Dr Eggman]

@Mario_and_Sonic_Guy
Ok did that, trying again.

Here's my new .gct file. If you could "proof-read" it, thanks, and please see the .pcs files in my other posts.

Glad to be of assistance for you. Strangely enough, I have yet to test out this code, due to me lacking the HBC at the moment.

 

[Dr Eggman]

Just for reference, i used File Replacement 2.1a (Phantom Wings) code.
Not the regular 2.1, or 2.0.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Just for reference, i used File Replacement 2.1a (Phantom Wings) code.
Not the regular 2.1, or 2.0.

Just to give you some additional pointers, File Replacement v2.1a reads files from inside the "pf" folder. File Replacement v2.1b reads files from the root of your SD card. Both of which are made by Phantom Wings himself.
