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

[Princz15]

hey um how do i put CSPs in?

 

[illinialex24]

i have a bowser texture from ]EE[ via stacksmash, but every texture i've tried for bowser thus far as been ineffective. i've tried textures from Kitty Corp. and only one worked.... is it possibly a problem with the files?

Yes. I've gotten glitched textures before.

thank you soooooo much im gunna have fun tonight

 

[Alphatron]

Maybe it's because it's late at night but I feel like a really big idiot. How do you set up the .gct file?

 

[Firus]

Hm, question...

I set up everything, with the textures and whatnot, but GeckoOS isn't coming up as a program in the Homebrew Channel. Does anyone know what I did wrong and/or how to fix it?

Your directories wrong, you gotta have the following:

I:\apps\[Folder name, doesn't matter the name]\boot.dol

or

I:\apps\[Folder name, doesn't matter the name]\boot.elf

IE, for example:

I:\apps\GeckOS\boot.elf

If you have that it will show up. If not, it won't. The first letter doesn't matter, just the driver letter of your SD card.

 

[Firus]

Scratch that question, I figured out what the problem was -- I put the GeckoOS folder in there, but it turns out there was a folder deeper in there I had to get instead, so problem solved.

But, now I'm having another problem...the STAGE textures are working perfectly fine, but the characters don't seem to be. I checked the directories, and I have ALL of Toon Link's extra costumes hacked (and I tried multiple costumes anyways), so that can't be the issue...

Can anyone think of anything?

EDIT: While I'm at it, how exactly do you use PT's Final Smash textures? Like, where do you put them?

EDIT2: Disregard the first question, I've figured out what I was doing wrong. But, the second question still stands, I'm still confused as to how PT's Final Smash textures work.

 

[Ori_bro]

OK ive done everything there is to do except gettinmg the .pcs to .pac could someone help please? I desperatley wanna use my texture hacks.

You need to download an application called lz77ex.exe. You drag the .pcs onto that application and it'll extract the PCS file and create a .pcs.out file. Once lz77ex.exe has done its job, rename the .pcs.out part of the file name to .pac, and you'll have your new PAC file.

Also, I recommend that you extract the new PAC file to see if the texture isn't corrupted. If it is corrupted, then the PCS and PAC files are useless.

 

[illinialex24]

Yeah, I've had my fair share of corrupted textures, and always test out a new texture. Like I had a wolf who skipped 10 frames every time he used his blaster.

 

[Firus]

Um, about that lz77ex file...is there any way to directly download it, or do I HAVE to extract it using all of those programs?

Its generally a part of any ASH/STASH/CUPASH download package. It is part of any official download. You likely already have it if you have one of the three packages, if not, download ASH here:

how do I use the red Ike slash .PAC and a texture?

 

[illinialex24]

how do I use the red Ike slash .PAC and a texture?

The red slash should go in the character folder and it has likely two parts:

FitIke.pac
FitIkeMotionEtc.pac

Just name the other ones regularly and have these files in the same folder and you will have the texture with the red slash. I have red slash roy Ike personally and Tabuu slash Marth.

 

[comboking]

it only has 1 part

 

[M.K]

Oh wow, thank you so much for this guide. It really worked like a charm (with the assitance of someone who already did it, that is!)

My only question is where do I place the Character Select Screen images?

 

[Ori_bro]

ty M_S_G im doing that right now

 

[VietGeek]

Hey guys, does anyone know the location of the output files from SSBExtract?

I thought it was C:\ but apparently I was wrong. -_-

EDIT: Never mind, I think I located them.

 

[Ori_bro]

o noeZ i converted all to .pac but they arent working. ill go reactivate PhantomWings and see what will happen brb

EDIT: i re-did Phantom Wings but still no texture change
EDIT 2: got it workin it looks ****in sweet!

Thanks, but I had already found it after my last post.

Is it possible to have 2 textures for the same stage?

no. you can only have one per stage.

 

[comboking]

Someone should make a code so if you have more than one stage texture it would randomly pick 1.
That would be cool.

could possibly use the code that decides which Mushroomy Kingdom loads....

 

[Alus]

Im just wondering...

for charizard... is the file setup like

Fitpokelizardon##

or

FitPokelizardon##

or FitPokeLizardon##

or etc...

And what exactly was the command that made all transformers independent?

thats a good idea

 

[Le Heroine]

Quick question, can't someone just upload their own SD card directory so one doesn't have to create a ton of folders?

 

[comboking]

Yes some one could

It doesn't matter, as long as you have the name right it'll work. So basically, any one of those would work.

I'd keep the same name for the .pac (if you're putting it for PT) just incase though.

All of those are correct, it is not case sensitive.

@Le Heroine:

"Quick question, can't someone just upload their own SD card directory so one doesn't have to create a ton of folders?"

Umm...I doubt anyone would upload a folder infrastructure...I mean that's really pointless.

And no offense but that's really lazy of you. I would understand if you wanted textures for every character though.

Yet, despite all this, I know that the Brawl+ 4.1B set has some preset textures inside (fixes teams colors and gives you some other nifty stuff too), as well as some premade folder infrastructures for textures.

I am also sure there are texture packs made that contain the premade infrastructure too. There are threads with download links. I do not know exactly though, as I never felt the need to texture every character.

 

[RyuReiatsu]

Excuse me if it has been asked.
But I'd like to ask for an explanation on how to put CSP... as there's none in the guide.

[...] Tabuu slash Marth.

Mind showing me how is it?

Its good, this was a laggy wifi match replay capture (hacked so tags stay in replays ), but anyway, it works pretty well :

Put it through csp tools and you should get three folder, put those in the pf folder.

 

[TEECO]

This is where I'm stuck...

private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/fighter/captain/FitCaptain01.pcs

So for every color/texture hack, we have to make a seperate file in it in the character's file?


For example: fighter----> captain ----> Fitcaptain01.pcs / Fitcamtain02.pcs ect.


???

I've been asking for the CSP too, but hm... I don't quite get this post x_x...
And Tabuu's slashe fx is awesome, mind linking it to me?

 

[TEECO]

Thank you

 

[Alus]

ok...I had my textures working perfectly fine...and then the next day they just stopped working...everything remained the exact same way...and it stopped working... wtf?

 

[2Sko]

I got one question, now I play online like everyday with my friends, I gave my friends the exact same textures i have, when we play online, why do they only work sometimes? Thanks.
