WinRAR worked fine, but you didn't have a codes file?

The main things that were different were:

no codes file
Gameconfig file
All that other stuff in the pf file

 

[QUIVO]

So.. I think I'm destined to NEVER have hacks.. : (

 

[jokey665]

I may have screwed up the rar... hang on a sec.

EDIT: Ok lol I'm like half ******** or something. Download this and extract it to the root of your sd card, too.

gameconfig is for gecko os, and the other pf stuff is stage textures and custom csp's for textures on the character select screen.

 

[QUIVO]

Thanks jokey! Weird problem though, I was able to get the new character selection screen format, but I still don't get the textures: /

That's weird... Sadly, I have no idea how to fix it.

I just got my CSPs working! Man, that took forever...
But a huge problem occured, my game froze everytime I tried to play online with others. After I hosted or join a room, it would take me to the CSS, right? Well right before that my game froze... I know common5.pac is the problem, I just took it out and then I could play online with no problems....

No one told me that modified CSPs prohibited you from playing online... Is this supposed to happen? I can see my CSPs in all of the offline modes, Brawl, Classic mode, training mode... But online it freezes for some reason. Why? Ugh, one unexpected problem after another.....

I guess no one knows. D:

Now, I'm on the small CSPs, and CUPASH doesn't seem to like them. It gives me this error:

I only edited Ness's small CSPs, for testing. And this shows up.
I edited them with GIMP, I filled in empty spaces with magenta, and then I indexed it to 72 colors. Are Big CSPs and small CSPs totally different, or what? Help please!!

Totally, go to 32 colors.

Or colours, as my cousins would say.

I indexed it to 32 colors, it's still giving me the same exact problem.
How did you make your small CSPs? There's got to be something I'm not doing right.

 

[Sompurplequy700]

Could you clarify how to do the .pac codes or give and example?

Thx!

I just ran Step 2 after running Step 1 with that file extracted.

Ive been getting textures fine the only problem I have is with bowser. It seems that he needs the .pac files but I did not use .pac files for the other characters that required them such as wario, charizard, etc and their textures work fine. Why is bowser the only one who absolutely needs the .pac files and if he does why aren't there .pac files for most of the bowser textures I downloaded?

They are needed for any characters that undergo transformations (like Zelda, Sheik) and it affects when they transform, otherwise, you have issues. You can always get your own .pac file, its very easy.

 

[QUIVO]

So, should all the files on my sd card be "read-only?"

How would I get my own pac file to work with the pcs? I tried putting random pac files from other textures in the same file as the textures I wanted but that gave me the wrong one.

 

[Airgemini]

So I was trying to download a texture last night/morning and I messed some things up. I finally got the texture down, but now I don't have my Gecko 1.9 bar anymore, just Ocarina. And now when I download the game through Ocarina the texture comes up, but I don't have Brawl+ anymore.

I tried redownloading the Gecko stuff but it doesn't seem to work.

.Pac files and .pcs files are very similar, just they are one step away from becoming the other. Drag a .pcs into lz77ex and it becomes a .pac. Basic programming skill with ntcompress with make a .pac a .pcs. Enjoy

[Airgemini]

Nevermind! Illini helped me over AIM and fixed everything!
Illini for WBR? I say yes :D

Thanks again

 

[illinialex24]

Thank you, but the reason why I wasn't modded, the reason why I lost Discussion Leader status, and the reason I'm not WBR has something to do with this:

The purpose of a discussion leader is to encourage discussion, not spark flaming...

And the fact that I generally have 5 infractions at any place, point or time. And I felt this PM shared relatively little about any dealings so I felt I would only get 1-4 infractions for posting it, so IE, I wouldn't get banned.

I've been trying to get texture hacks for so long, but I just don't get it...
I have PAL wii and I've been using other codes for a while now, but when I do the same witht he one on in the OP nothing happens. The folders are named just like the ones in the OP, I've waited for the wii to load, taken out the gcc mem card and everything, but nothing happens. D:<
I downloaded a Link texture and named it FitOrdonLink00.pcs is that how it's supposed to be? do i need anything more than the pcs file or something? T__T

Very sorry for your issue, PAL wii's have the issue that the codes don't work for them at the newest ones, IE, the 2.1a code doesn't work. Use the 1.3 codes with the 1.1 Dynamic SD Loader, custom stage stopper, and the SD files code. You need the 4 files for the 1.3 code and thats all PAL has.

 

[Pink Link]

So... um, where do I find those? /:

Ahh yeah thats difficult lol:

Tell me if that doesn't work.

 

[Youko]

It would also help if you removed "Ordon" from the filename.

If placed in the correct folder with the proper codes enacted, FitLink00.pcs will replace Link's default costume.

 

[Pink Link]

I changed it to "FitLink00" and used the codes from teh download link, nothing happened. I thik it just hates me, lol.

Did you check the boxes and name it RSBP01.gct?? All the boxes...

 

[Pink Link]

Yeah, i'm pretty sure i got all the folders correct. I've been trying to get this right for quite a while now /:

 

[DeadX]

didn't want to put this in the Q&A, seeing as it relates to the topic.
where do i put the file in for the strap texture hack?

 

[Youko]

...\pf\menu\strap\StrapEn.pac

That ought to do the trick.

 

[ChronoPenguin]

how do we use TGA's I checked some places and they were saying to convert it to a different file >.>
Can someone be more clear on this? Please and thank you.

You need CUPASH to convert them to usable files. Message me (visitor) if you have any further questions or post in the generic Q&A (not-stickied but used often).

...Did my question get ignored...? Perhaps this is the wrong place to post this... Should I post it elsewhere?
I found a texture for Lucario's Aura in the model rip data. Can I insert that into a custom texture using ASH, or is it only the files that come out of the PAC that can be used?
(It's only italic because I accidentally deleted the quote tags.)

You can edit it in ASH, don't worry. However, its complicated because its likely the FitMotionEtc files, with the regular FitLucario.pac, which are much more tricky to edit. It works through ASH and hexing though I know.

 

[Mega Yoshi]

anyone know how to fix the CSP's for pal yet :/?

 

[illinialex24]

Use the 1.3 code.

 

[Mega Yoshi]

Guess what? tried and they still didnt appear... why do they only appear on the winning screen?

 

[THK]

Well I managed to get textures working, but it seems if I have too many, combined with Brawl+, the codes don't load at all. Is there a way to have it all together or no?

make sure:

1. using latest gecko

2. you don't have a gcn memory card in you wii (lol nasty)

 

[THK]

Alright now codes loaded but textures don't work anymore, what gives?

 

[FrozenHobo]

sometimes you just need to reload the codes/re-put them on you sd card. i had the same problem so i just put the codes on again and it worked.
