Hey, y'all!

It took me hours and hours to do, but I wrote a C++ program that allows you to take a file, preferably a texture hack file, and move it right to the proper place on your SD card so you neither have to worry about digging through all those folders nor worry about adding new folders to the directory. Sure, you COULD use shortcuts for this feat, but the beauty of this program is that it automatically places a copy of the file to be moved and renames it in the proper format. Tired of flipping from window to window, trying to remember what number you want to put in the name to replace whatever color for Wario? Well, with this program, you needn't worry about it anymore!

Here's a link to it. Download it, put it in a special folder wherever you want, and try it out!

Unfortunately, this is only known to work on Windows computers. Sorry, Mac users. :(


Features:
*Allows movement of files from your computer to the proper place on an SD card (works for texture hacks for characters and stages; also works for song title files by Dantarion's Any-Length Song Title Tool).
*Automatically creates directories for texture hacks and songs if they do not exist already.
*Automatically renames texture files and .BRSTMs in the proper format so that they can be read when Brawl+ is loaded.
*Allows mass movement of properly-named .BRSTMs (in other words, if you have a bunch of song files that are already named properly and that you want to moved, the program will be able to move them all in one fell swoop!). Also allows automatic naming of precompiled .BRSTMs so users won't have to memorize the letter for each franchise and the number that each song links to, much like with texture hacks.
*Supports .GCT files.
*Supports custom moveset files (for most characters) generated by PSA.
* SD file management (create certain file backups, extract files, and delete unwanted files).

To-Do:
*Add more character support.
*Add validation measures.


If you encounter any bugs, please let me know! :)

Cool program. I used it just now to put some textures on my SD card and it didn't take long at all.

Dude very nice, I was going to attempt to make this program once I started learning VB again, but you probably are much better at it anyway. I only wish this was out when I was doing texture hacks for my one friend, god that took forever. Anyway nice work keep it up.

Whoo! I'm glad people find my program useful! Thanks for the reviews, guys! ^_^

And I have uploaded a small update which is more in its beta stages than anything. I added support for character texture .pacs so Zelda/Sheik, Samus/ZSS, and other characters aren't left out. However, this is mostly untested, and there may be errors. If you want to test it out yourself, please do so and come back to me.

I also believe I added the feature that adds automatic directory creation for stage hacks during the update, so if you don't have any stage hacks yet, go ahead and give it a go. ;)

You can download it here and in the OP.

EDIT: And we have another update! Both .GCT support and .BRSTM support have been added! Both the link in the OP and the link in this post have been changed accordingly.

EDIT: If you downloaded the new updated version, you need to redownload it; there was a fatal error in the system that made texture moving nigh-on useless.

Bumped because of a new update. (Bumps are allowed here, right? If not, I apologize.)

Version 1.3.2 is now available. New features include support for custom movesets generated by PSA and the option of applying texture hacks to custom stages (something I admittedly should've added from the get-go...).

The updated link's in the OP.

So you can move your PSA hacks with this thing now? Awesome. :)

That and pretty much any PSA hack that someone offers you online. ;)

However, sorry again for yet another quick update, but I fixed another major bug that makes texture moving pretty much useless (why the heck do these keep popping up!? D: ). In order for you to keep as much functionality as possible, I strongly recommend redownloading. The updated link's, once again, in the OP.

Bumped again because of another update! Version 2.0 is now available!

New features include SD card file management, where you can create backups of moveset files, extract files already on your SD card, replace current movesets with backups, and delete unwanted files.

Updated link's in the OP, as usual.
