Title: Kirby Hats and Model Swapping Post by: mnsg on July 10, 2010, 11:35:21 AM With model swaps going around, I decided to make this thread to explain about model swapping Kirby Hats.
Now, as a lot of people may know, whenever Kirby copies opponents, he wears a cap that relates to whoever he copied. Most of the Kirby hats don't affect Kirby's model, while others do. Model Swapping Kirby Hats The following is a list of Kirby hats that do not affect Kirby's model. Mario Link Samus Yoshi Fox Pikachu Luigi Captain Falcon Ness Peach Bowser Zelda Sheik Ice Climbers Marth Ganondorf Meta Knight Pit Wario Zero Suit Samus Ike Charizard Squirtle Ivysaur Diddy Kong Lucas King Dedede Lucario R.O.B. Toon Link Wolf Sonic When you view those hat models via BrawlBox, look at the tab that reads FileFlags. Texture data and model data relating to those Kirby Hats will have a FileFlags of 25600. Kirby hat data with that FileFlags can be model swapped, but you must make sure to get hold of ALL the data with the variable 25600 (textures, models, animations, etc.), or else you might have problems. (http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/4/kirbyhatdatamario.png) Now, the Kirby Hat PAC files are NOT compressed in any way, but model swapping can affect the file size of the PAC files. Therefore, some model swaps could lead to game crashes, while others may work with some drawbacks. Now, I know that at least one Kirby hat model swap works without ANY flaws, which is swapping Wario's Cap with Mario's Cap (shown on the snapshot below). However, I have also seen a model swap in which Kirby dons Ganondorf's cap after copying Marth. (http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h57/TPitcher/Super%20Smash%20Bros%20Brawl/Snapshots/Hacked/KirbyHat-09-02.jpg) Basically, explore and find out which hat swaps work and which ones don't. Non-Swappable Kirby Hats Below is a list of non-swappable Kirby hats. Donkey Kong Mr. Game & Watch Falco Olimar Jigglypuff Solid Snake Those Kirby hats are not model swappable, due to the fact that they DO affect Kirby's model. They also do not have the FileFlags reading 25600, which adds to this fact. Therefore, don't waste your time trying to swap those hats since it will NOT work correctly. Conclusions I hope that this guide came in handy for those who like to model swap.

I tried to to swap the captain hat with the samus one but it didn't work.... Question: if I have two characters that give Kirby the same hat, but the animation is different....does the game freeze?

Of course, it could vary between hats. (http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h57/TPitcher/Super%20Smash%20Bros%20Brawl/Snapshots/Hacked/KirbyHat-11-02.jpg) |
