Theytah's Mod School!

[Ryztiq]

So is there actually a way to add a sound effect to when you ban a stage?

Also I was using your tutorial to make my own CSP's, however I'm not sure how to go about this specific model. Basically it's a new model with several different colours and I want to make sure they're all in the exact same pose. Any tips? This is the mod for reference: http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=30821

Id reccomend using photoshop to edit the first image so it looks like the other colors.

Appreciate that thanks. Also kind of urgent, but I changed a couple costumes and they're making my game crash, is there an easy way to revert this other than a complete re-install?

 

[TimeMuffinPhD]

Nvm I fixed it.

what is the best way to edit a skin without changing the model

I'm trying to make custom skins with embelems for my local scene

thanks :D

What's the reason for crashing at the PM loading screen? I added a bunch of costumes and they all worked, then I changed a couple CSP's and it's just stuck there and extremely annoying.

EDIT: Nvm I just re-did everything, must've been a corrupted file or something.

Make sure the format is the same as the old CSP files and they're not too big

Texture/material editing is the only way you can really mod a costume without editing anything physical in the model.

Having trouble with this, so I'm wondering if you could walk me through it.

If I wanted to make is so Kirby changes colors during certain Copy Abilities, how would I go about merging his original model and the ability? The abilities that actually change Kirby's model, such as Snake and Jigglypuff, have the hat and character model combined. If I wanted to, say, make Kirby turn blue once he eats the Ice Climbers. How would I merge the models and apply them so that when Kirby eats the Ice Climbers, it loads a new model?

Or, if possible, when Kirby eats a certain character it just swaps out his model textures somehow. I dunno.

for the hats that dont change his base model, you'd most likely need to change the code so that his main model doesn't show when he's wearing hats. But you could also try editing the hat model in 3ds max and adding his main body model to them so that it'd just go over his main model. Both of them would require some experience and time, as kirby's files are really annoying and complicated.

 

[Aunt Jemima]

Alright, thanks.

Two other things, if that's okay!

1. PAT0 Animation reverting?
This is really odd, and pretty annoying. I have an animation file for one of Kirby's Copy Abilities. When I try to edit the PAT0 animation for his mouth and save the file, it reverts itself to whatever his eye texture is set to. Such as, if I edit KbMouthNormal.3 to KbMouthNormal.5, once I save it, it'll change to KbEyeNormal.1 (or whatever the eye texture is set as). I tried deleting the old node and re-creating it instead of editing the existing one, but that crashes the game. I also tried deceiving the file by changing the eye to his mouth, saving that, then freezing the file once I re-set his eye back, but that crashes the game, too. Any way to fix this...?

2. Model swapping!
Basically, switching two of Kirby's Copy Ability hats with each other. Let's say I switched Marth and Mewtwo's Copy Ability hat model. The game just freezes instead of loading them, for obvious reasons (I think?). However, I can't find out what I should change to fix this. I've tried looking around, but can only find how to merge models, not swap them.

1. I'd check which version of BB you're using. 0.71 is the safest version to edit files in.
2. Iirc hat models have different bones from eachother, so youd need a model editing program to properly swap them out.

1. Yeah, I'm using 0.71. Not sure what's going on with it.

2. Alright, thanks!

When I try to update the stage pics sc_selcharacter 2 i get an error that wont let me update it. Any help?

 

[forbidden12]

How do you change the name of a skin? For example changing the name of a lucina skin to lucina instead of marth but keep the other marth skins named marth if that makes sense.

In the 3.5 homebrew file theres missing infface files how do i get all the files?

You can find them in the resource section from brawlvault, brawl data partition 2

Also, just finished a new tutorial.

Do i delete the files in the portrite files then drag the files from the portrite files from the data partition?

 

[Ryztiq]

Do i delete the files in the portrait files then drag the files from the portrait files from the data partition?

copy the portrait folder from the data partition to the portrait folder in your PM build, dont replace when asked.

Keep both inffiles or dont move?

Made a flowchart to show which imagetype you should use for stuff.

Do you think you could make a guide to making your own skins?

That sentence is way too flexible to be something specific enough for a guide. Define what you mean?

Like making a character model ex:your mega swampert character model

 

[Ryztiq]

that'll have to be a muli-part tutorial but yes I'll make one

 

[Ryztiq]

Going to post some stuff after my tourney tomorrow, finally finished teaching myself shader stuff and got a material set that can use THREE seperate specmaps

 

[Kei_Takaro]

Do you have any general suggestions in the stage camera's STPM variables so I can make it more Melee than PM?

I was thinking which variables would give out more faster panning and zooming, I have no idea which ones and how much the values should be

I looked at your how to combine models video and tried it out by equipping a roy model with Ike's Hector armor from project M. However, when I do this, Brawlbox crashes every time. What is it I'm doing wrong? If you want I could send you the PAC file so that you can look at it and see what the problem is.

the models need to be based on the same character.

ooohhhhhhhh...gotcha

Thanks a bunch for this guide! Very useful!

I have one question tho....... How do you add a picture on the Character select screen?
I found an Apex 2014 build somewhere some time ago, with their logo where the character slots for Player 2 & 3 are. As well as your "Theytah's build" with your logo in the same spot!

My team and I are hosting a PM tournament soon and thought it would be a nice touch to add our tournament logo!~

Using Brawlbox I imported the logo I wanted on common5 -> sc_selcharacter_en -> MiscData[40]
as a Texture file.

Same spot where the Apex logo is located! Thing is, it doesn't show up so I'm assuming I'm missing a step?
Not too familiar with messing with these files yet. lol Thanks in advance!! c:

Once 3.6 is out I included a blank plane on the CSS for people to do this easier from now on, so I'd just wait a little bit so that you can just do that.

 

[Blueblue105]

Is there anyway around this?

 

[Ryztiq]

3ds max can solve all your problems

Haha alright, thanks! I'll look forward to that then!~

 

[Blueblue105]

So would I just import the model, then the additional objects in 3ds max, fit the new objects into place and then export?

So I decided to start smash3ifying(is that the term?) a certain mario skin, and decided to change the final smash eye. Thoughts?

I just saw that the right eye reverses the design for the final smash eye, making the blue part of the flag appear on the right instead of the left. How do I fix this?
