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

[qmann28]

I'm having trouble and would really appreciate some help. I'm going to be as specific as possible. Right now, my test setup looks like this:

E:\private\wii\app\RSBE\pf\fighter\sonic\FitSonic04.pcs

By sacrificing my Brawlplusery 4.0 setup and using these codes from the video (which was extremely helpful by the way), I was able to successfully load the texture during a Brawl:

File Replacement V1.3
Disable Custom Stages V1.1
Dynamic SD Loader V1.1
SD Files

Now, here are my problems:
1) I would like to play the latest version of Brawl+ with textures. My current setup doesn't allow for this so if it's possible to do so, could someone explain to me how?
2) The texture doesn't show up on my character select screen. Am I missing a file or something that's making this happen?

Once again, thank you to anyone for taking the time to help out.

1. Look up the topic for snapshot hacking, or double gct loading (I haven't used them so I'm not sure about the differences/which is better). You put the texture codes and the snapshot/double loader codes in one of the gcts, and you use that to load the second one which contains B+.
2. Yes, you are missing the character selection portraits. Instructions on how to get them have been posted about 200 times in this topic.

EDI: I missed a line of code from the file replacement code. Whoops.

 

[blazer222]

It adds a shadow. This is just character selection screen.

THANKS SO MUCH.. i was able to... http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/8648/1384450784401.jpg

Well, if it's not attached to anything important, you could opt to not load the texture with his hair in it. Not sure how viable that is, since I haven't looked at Snake's files yet.

the texture with his hair... well it's for his entire head... so that's kinda out of the question

i just don't understand why it doesn't compile correctly when i try to change that specifically, something with the transparency of it maybe... i guess i should try and find someone who's removed some of the hair and stuff before...

 

[illinialex24]

Lol yeah that won't work.

For use with Brawl+, using the double gct method (which I'm assuming you're aware of) you put the File Replacement 1.3 and Disable Custom Stages in the codeset that goes in <sd folder>/private/wii/app/rsbe/pf folder.
The loaders codes are in the /codes gct file, so you don't need to worry about them.
For Character selection pictures, you need the CSPs for each character and the "common5_en.pac" and some other instructions that someone else can assist you with.

So did you guys hear that G&W's texture hacks are now possible?

http://stacksmash.cultnet.net/?p=4202

Before anyone asks any questions, this is Dhragen’s test of a new technique discovered by IkeLawliet of FitArtifex (http://stacksmash.cultnet.net/brawlhost/fitartifex/). Game & Watch’s emerald textures have just that, textures. Which means you can screw around with them like anything else. Emerald textures can go in any slot, but, for Game & Watch they replace all the slots. You can only have one hack with G&W, but this is an improvement over having, say, none. Since the whole “goes in any slot” thing applies to all emerald characters, I figure I may as well bring up another point. The emerald characters have a trippy reflective effect. This means you can make hacks with trippy reflective effects. We will be making use of this in the future; just FYI. Also, “emerald textures” are the textures from the Great Maze used in fights before anyone asks. Comment on this new development why don’t you? We’re almost on the verge of cracking Sonic’s mysterious hue as well. BigSharkZ of EliteSmashHackers (http://elitesmashhackers.wordpress.com/) is doing most of the work on that.

 

[illinialex24]

Yep, its really cool and eye opening. I got MAC system to work on my Wii so I'm set

 

[Bizkit047]

That must have been my problem. I don't use 2.0 (since it kept freezing on me), and it was Squirtle that desynced the game. Now I'm torn on what to do.

That's why you use 2.1a or whatever it is, which fixes the startup freezing problem.

Hey, guys I need help.

I play Brawl+ with textures (I downloaded MLX´s pack) and the textures work very well but I got no portraits in the char selection screen.

But after a fight in the screen where all stats are shown there are definitely the portraits so why not in the character roster?

Rename common5_en.pac to common5.pac

Fixed your problem??

It should be in pf/system

If thats not your issue, then talk to me.

 

[blazer222]

I got the actual costume to work but is it possible to change the picture at the bottom of the screen during the actual match?

 

[V-K]

It is already named "common5.pac".

 

[illinialex24]

It is already named "common5.pac".

Ok then that is weird... Umm... do you have all the .bress's??

I'm not sure MLX's pack has CSPs. I tried it and it was missing some folders. I think CSPs belong in the portrite folder which is missing.
EDIT:
X: Private\Wii\App\RSBE\pf\system\common5.pac
X: Private\Wii\App\RSBE\pf\info\portrite\InfFace###.brres
X: Private\wii\app\RSBE\pf\menu\common\char_bust_tex\MenSelchrFaceB###.brres
Yep. MLX is missing a portrite folder.
Also lol 1337th post.

Is the .pac file the portrait while the .pcs is the texture itself? Just out of curiousity because my textures are workin fine.

 

[Volt7x]

The pacs are needed for transformations and single player modes. The pcs is the texture. Pacs are if you want to edit the texture.

 

[illinialex24]

Both are textures, while the .pcs is needed for multiplayer. .pac is need for single player, transformations...

 

[Skyshroud]

Ok, so I finished a texture (for Falco) and converted it back into a .pcs file. However, it froze upon loading in the game. I'm not sure where I messed up. I indexed all of the files that were not already indexed, and ash didn't give me any errors when I converted the .tga's back into the .pcs file.

On another note, when I drop the .pcs into Iz77ex and convert the .pcs.out into a .pac, ASH refuses to break down the .pac again. I'm getting a file size invalid error. Anybody know how to fix this?

Don't exit out of the program, wait for it to close. It should be almost double the size.

 

[Blitzmidfielder]

So with the new file replacement code, the /fighter folder goes in the root of the SD card?

 

[illinialex24]

I use an old version just fine. I like it.

 

[Sukai]

So with the new file replacement code, the /fighter folder goes in the root of the SD card?

From what I've heard, no, you can use it just like 1.3 without Disabling Custom Stages.

 

[Ryusuta]

From what I've heard, no, you can use it just like 1.3 without Disabling Custom Stages.

So, wait... you can keep the folders in the same directory with the new code and not have to move them to the root of the SD Card?

 

[Vlade]

Where are the japanese brawl texture hack codes?

 

[illinialex24]

They havent been ported yet.

Neither of you guys have responded to my visitor messages...

Sorry, too busy hacking....

 

[Ryusuta]

No problem. Looking forward to seeing the end result of said hacking!

 

[illinialex24]

Ok cool. Once I get all CSP's up, booyah .

And make my IC's and Santa puff

 

[Ryusuta]

Is that Santa Puff for Metatitan? I know he was asking me questions about it, but unfortunately I didn't know where to get the .pac for Jigg's sleepy-time hat.

Yeah it is.

 

[SaxyPlayah]

I'm having some trouble with the pokemon trainer hacks. I've followed the tutorial all the way through and I've been successful with altering the textures of characters such as lucario and captain falcon, but I can't change the textures of squirtle, ivysaur, nor charizard. I've made their own folders and I place their .pcs and .pac file in their respective folders but their textures remain the same. I'm at a loss. May someone tell me what to do? Hehe

 

[Defect]

yea can someone help me

im having trouble with my gecko OS

it loads the background but the menu doesnt show up and it seems to freeze

anyone know why and how can i fix this?

Are your folders named after the pokemon's japanese names? (Zenigame, Fushiguiso, Lizardon)

Two very common troubleshooting issues with this:

First, do you have two Gamecube memory cards plugged in? This is the most common problem. You can only have one GC memory card plugged in at a time, sadly...

Second - and this might seem silly, but you never know - is te SD card plugged in correctly? I would presume that it is, but I figured it'd be worth asking.

Finally, if neither of those things help, try reinstalling it.

Hope this helps.

thank you so much

it was the gc memory cards

From what I've been told, yeah.
I'm still using 1.3, so I can't really vouch for it.
