Title: BrawlBox v0.78
Post by: libertyernie on May 03, 2014, 02:29:50 PM
Current version: BrawlBox v0.78 (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=214043)

(http://i.imgur.com/x61vwcb.png)

Changes in v0.78 (from the Changelog.txt):
 . Added a facility for writing BrawlBox plugins in Python (bboxapi). A sample plugin is included.
 . Added support for more filetypes in Export All and Replace All
 . Changed Export All and Replace All to create/use subfolders for children of ARC and BRES nodes
 . Added multi-select support (using Ctrl or Shift buttons) to the BrawlBox tree view. If all selected nodes are CHR0 animations or individual CHR0 entries, you can launch the "Edit All Animations" dialog from the right-click menu.
 . Changed the default scale value in "Edit All Animations" to from 0 to 1
 . Fixed a bug where animations that were only changed because of "Edit All" weren't saved
 . Added support for encoding and decoding 16-bit PCM in RSTM containers
 . Added "swap RGB" and "swap alpha" options to the texture converter dialog. "Swap alpha" will be turned on automatically if there are more distinct RGB values among fully transparent pixels than among partially opaque pixels.
 . Added OpenAL audio output support (if OpenAL is not available, DirectSound will be used like before)
 . Added support for setting texture matrices to identity in MDL0 objects
 . Fixed crashing when opening modules whose section[5] isn't the object section
 . Fixed resolution and rebuilding of Prolog, Epilog, and Unresolved addresses in .rel files
 . Fixed getting length of sfx data written out of order
 . Fixed bug where after replacing an RSAR file and reopening the RSAR, the replaced file would show as "external"
 . Fixed crash opening an RWSD with no labels
 . Fixed weight editor bugs
 . Fixed ADPCM encoding to match Nintendo's implementation (pull requests #59 and #68)
 . Fixed bug when trying to determine the encoding of a .bfstm or .brstm file
 . Fixed model import bug where bones that were not included in any skin modifier were not imported
 . Fixed bug where RASD nodes found in "External" BRES folders would not allow the BRES to be saved
 . Various MDL0 fixes

BrawlBox should be able to run on Unix-based OSes using Mono (run "mono ./BrawlBox.exe".)

iirc isn't there a bug when importing models in 0.71 where textures would be messed up if you didn't set the textureref0 to true on shader0?

Would that also be a simple fix? i was looking to start modifying BBox as well

In any case, great work! simple but awesome :) The only modifications i made to my personal BBox was to export unknown datatypes as .dat files, so to be easily opened in hex editors for exploration

And with that, I am officially disconnected from all Brawl modding. Absolutely nothing more for Brawl from me guys. Now you gotta hope that in approximately 5 months, another prodigy shows up out of nowhere and keeps it going.

Something I'd like to see (assuming you'll be taking requests on future features) is advanced REFF GFX editing. So we won't have to Hex in order to change reference names or colors.

Let's hope you'll bring as much as the previous BB developers have.

Nah I don't think the PMBR makes any changes to the DOL, and if they did, they would do it with codes.

Nintendo nor any other company programs games with raw machine code (ASM), they code it in something like C++ and compile it to ASM.

Does this mean that we can type, say, ~, and it'll read fine in Brawl?

I remember, with older versions, the ~ would be up high, like an apostrophe.

I would start by comparing differences between the DOLs from the Korean and English versions of Brawl.

one thing I would love if you would do request

is that we have a option in PSA that we can insert folders, like a new Variable section, a Glide section ect!

would love variable section, have tried added it so long but no matter how I do the brawlbox becomes unreadable :/

More Fighter.pac support would be great as well, since you can't do certain Action Overrides without certain references from the Fighter.pac that the current Moveset editing BrawlBox does not have. But moveset stuff is best saved for BJ's cancelled Ikarus.

Another issue is being unable to see all Sub Routines. Though the first Moveset editing version of BrawlBox did not have this issue.

It would be great if libertyernie and Sammi could work on and improve BrawlBox and Ikarus together.

Post by: libertyernie on May 04, 2014, 10:38:02 AM
I probably ought to say this: most of the stuff people have mentioned, I know very little about! In particular, I don't think I've ever done ANY moveset editing. So don't expect too much from me.
However, if there's something that people do with hex editing now, and there's some sort of guide, maybe I could try integrating that sort of thing at some point.

Does this mean that we can type, say, ~, and it'll read fine in Brawl?

I remember, with older versions, the ~ would be up high, like an apostrophe.

Now you should be able to copy the tilde from the Metal Gear song title and use that one. (~)
As long as we're at it, let's just throw a ton of Unicode characters in titles and see how many Brawl knows!

P.S. Here's a screenshot of BB running on XP:

Well nobody is forcing you to make edits to brawlbox so keep that in mind but regardless thanks for the modification though as i remember this being a pain to deal with when making song titles with unique characters back when .msbin editing first started.
Look forward to see what else will be added if you decided to keep doing modifications

I've been thinking about adding a way to edit STDT data, but since it's variable length and switches between floats/ints it might get tricky.

No problem, if you have any questions about how things work in BrawlLib, I would definitely be the one to ask.

I would recommend you check out the interfaces I used for editing STPM (BrawlLib/SSBB/ResourceNodes/STPMNode.cs) or moveset parameters (Ikarus/UI/Controls/AttributeGrid.cs) if you want to edit an any-length array of float and integer values.

You should start by implementing Bero's work, then add on to it: http://code.google.com/p/brawldev/source/browse/trunk/BrawlLib/SSBB/ResourceNodes/StageRelatedFiles.cs (http://code.google.com/p/brawldev/source/browse/trunk/BrawlLib/SSBB/ResourceNodes/StageRelatedFiles.cs)

Incidentally this reminds me, I was going to begin implementing filetypes for BBox from my SSE thread. Can anybody tell me the bare minimum files I would need to edit / add to have Brawlbox recognize the file?

The reason this reminded me is because coincidentally STPM files follow the same basic structure as pretty much all of the SSE files. At least the header does. most notably BLOC archives, which are children in ARC files in almost al SSE stages and contain all the really important SSE stuff

EDIT: nvm im stupid, i was doing everything right i just forgot the stupid byte order in the tag lol

Well, i've begun implementing the BLOC filetype to BBox..so whenever that's done i'll try to fix the whole shader0 not having textureref0 = true, which causes crazy messed up textures in game. Incidentally i went ahead and added an icon for STDT entries that LibertyErnie started to implement. Icon isn't that great, but better then a question mark :P

(http://i.imgur.com/p9Xpo99.png)

In any case, i went and forked your repository on git so i can make changes of my own. Im not super awesome at programming or nothin but i'll try to help out whenever i can. Whenever i do i'll send you a pull request (unless you just add me as a collaborator to your repository)

I don't think I can do it the way he did it for STPM, since STDT has a variable number of entries in it. Also, some are floats and some are integers, and the program doesn't know which is which. But hopefully I'll figure out a way you can edit both that's not too complicated.

Even though displaying a raw array to the user is quick and easy and SEEMS like the best solution, it's not intuitive at all for the user. You always want to be able to name raw values so I avoided doing it. Use the moveset attribute editor, at least, and let the community name the values. You'll have to set up a naming system for text files.

But how does BrawlBox know whether to interpret a value as integer or floating-point? I can't go by the size of the STDT data, because a few stages (i.e. 75m and Luigi's Mansion) have the same size STDT but use different interpretations.

Well the attribute grid does have an if statement that guesses int or float, but for values like 0 and some really big integers, there's no way to know for sure. What I did for moveset files was I had it use that if there were no text files that explicitly stated int or float for the current value.

Basically either the user tells BB float or int using the text files or it guesses.

Alternatively, you could hardcode structs for each stage and use them as a direct property interface. I don't think I would do that though, as there are quite a few stages and most of the values are unknown or need a long description.

I actually am already working on Ikarus. Just sent a pull request to LibertyErnie to allow selecting JUST the character folder, rather then the whole root of ALL brawl files. So expect to see that improved as well as BBox stuff :)

There should be a separate button under file->open to open just a character folder. In fact, I was planning to add buttons to be able to open any file separately.

The reason I completed opening the root first was because it was faster to just open an SD card root and switch the character for testing and I wanted to emulate the game :P
BB v0.68 and PSA can already edit pretty well.

Nice to see interest in continuing Ikarus though. It has a lot of potential, if somebody can get a proper moveset rebuilder written.

Hey. This version of BrawlBox keeps messing up the .msbin for the songs.

Anytime I edit it even slightly and then save, it becomes corrupt no matter what happens. Even if I export it out and edit it on it's own, it ends up as corrupted whenever it saves. This didn't happen with the previous versions.

What gives? I'm not the only one having this issue, right?

Do you mean the google code project? Im up for it, i've never really used google code before though..But in order for BBox to not end up forking off into separate dev trees LibertyErnie would need to use google code as well and we would need BJ to give us commit privileges.

In the long run it may be better to just switch to git altogether since in my opinion its a bit more contributor friendly, but that's really just me. I'll go wherever the code goes lol

Is it this repo? https://code.google.com/p/brawldev/ (https://code.google.com/p/brawldev/) Or is it a newer one?

I wouldn't really mind moving to the SVN, but also, using GitHub gives a couple extra features - primarily pull requests and easy branching - that can be kind of nice.
Then again, Google Code gives you a download area and other things which I probably don't know about yet.

Meh, the downloads section is deprecated. I think they already removed the option to add new downloads by now.

You also couldn't replace a download. I didn't like using it solely because of that.

Here's where my progress is on the STDT thing:
(http://i.imgur.com/VN59pfT.png)

How do you think edits to the names/descriptions should be saved? I'm loading it right now from a file STDT/[the name of that ef_*** node in the file].txt, if it exists, but there's no code to save changes.
A button or something to switch between int/float/degrees might also be nice, but I could also just use that guessing code, I suppose.

I got a WIP update to my STPM Tool that makes it compatible with STDT and names some of the more interesting values. I can try to finish and release it so you can see if the names are fine to be used in there.

Also, please use BJ's template for the STDT icon, that one is out of place imo.

I've become somewhat accustomed to github myself, especially since vs 2013 Express has an integrated git interface, while SVN management can't be integrated with Express versions. Though thats not a biggie really.

That and github has a better interface :P

That one was only a placeholder so i didn't have to deal with so many ?'s lol. Yea i'll make a new one from the template.

Anyone have suggestions on what the colors should be? or is a black and white gradient like this good?

Brainstorming: maybe instead of loading a text file automatically for STDT nodes, I should just add right-click items that say something like "Load Descriptions" and "Save Descriptions"? There's really no reliable way to determine what stage (i.e. what rel file) a PAC is made for.

You could add a tab with a list of the different stages with STDT, so depending on the one you choose in the list, you can read the info specific for that stage.

I meant a combobox or whatever it's called. Just a list of stages that change what's displayed once you change your selection. That list may depend on the size of the STDT or not. I use STDTs on stages that go on many slots at the same time, even if the size of the STDT in the original stage doesn't match the one in my stage. That combobox could have a default value where all STDT values can be edited, but have no descryption at all. And then have stage-specific lists, where only known values are displayed and are editable.

Dunno, just throwing ideas out there.

Post by: Dantarion on May 07, 2014, 04:50:31 PM
Tidus, for that to happen, PSA can't do much about it. So basically, BrawlBox needs to be changed to not ever save a file in a way that PSA can't read it.

Also, BrawlBox SHOULD be able to save D3 and Pokemon .pacs in a way so that PSA can open them :D

I suppose if an elegant solution can be found for why the way BBox saves them causes that issue then sure. Then again, i don't even know what causes this in the first place so don't quote me on that.. :kdance: I also have pretty little knowledge on the moveset file format despite how long i looked at tabuu and PSA's source :(

And in any case, my main focus for moveset stuff would be on Ikarus anyways

I'm aware that BBox is the culprit. Since I have little to no idea what you guys have to work with, I'm just throwing out suggestions for future updates, etc.

Post by: BlackJax96 on May 07, 2014, 06:46:06 PM
Did somebody mention Ikarus and Brawlbox saving movesets?

The code the old Brawlbox uses to save moveset files is horrendous. I'm sure it's the culprit of any problems you might have, as it actually rewrites the entire moveset file and PSA doesn't. I was planning to completely recode it in Ikarus.

It's messy, complicated and doesn't reproduce the same file exactly. I'm also completely sure a lot of the moveset file's structure is dictated by the REL file (or some outside source), as there is literally no official indication of structures being there or not, what they are, their lengths, etc.

In the meantime for Ikarus, instead of rebuilding the moveset file altogether, it might be more beneficial to do what PSA does and remap anything edited & longer to the end of the file, along with scanning for FADEF00D fillers to use for new data in old locations within the moveset so that it doesn't bloat in size.

I also think the incompatibility between PSA and Brawlbox is that Brawlbox writes the section list in a different order, and PSA slaps new data at (almost) the end of the file.

Luckily for you guys, I already reverse engineered the entirety of the moveset file (here (https://code.google.com/p/brawltools2/source/browse/trunk/Ikarus/Moveset%20Builder/OldBuilder.cs), here (https://code.google.com/p/brawltools2/source/browse/trunk/Ikarus/Moveset%20Builder/DataCommonBuilder.cs), here (https://code.google.com/p/brawltools2/source/browse/trunk/Ikarus/Structs/FighterDefinition.cs), and here (https://code.google.com/p/brawltools2/source/browse/trunk/Ikarus/Structs/ExtraDataOffsets.cs)), so don't let that work go to waste.

I should really look into python lol. I hear it's much simpler/easier to pick up then alot of other languages. I'm just glad allot of these SSE files follow the same basic structure and are relatively easy to mess with in just a hex editor.

I got the BLOC file to initialize all subfiles and such, but i can't get it to recognize them as individual nodes with their own filetypes. For example, right now i'm just initalizing them as Generic BLOC entry nodes, and having them set their name based on the first 4 bytes in their header, which is their filename..I have the files necessary to recognize the GDOR header, you can even just open the raw GDOR file in bbox, but i can't for the life of me get it to recognize that the BLOC entry is actually a GDOR file  :(

The good news is that you can export these bloc entries individually as well regardless of the individual size of the entry, but i haven't implemented saving any changes made after replacing one of them yet.

(Also, don't look at the images for BLOC sub files, they are only there to make testing easier on my eyyyeess)

I'm not working on the model viewer, but I do know it uses legacy GL functions to work...

managing vertex colors IS possible using legacy GL, but it requires a hack to update the material per vertex...

what I'm waiting for is someone to get the TEVs working :P

I'm almost done with the STDT additions - I just want to check a couple more things.

Right now, the program will show any text files in STDT/* that match the right format (same as used for Attributes.txt in Ikarus), and if none of those files have a name that matches the root node, it adds another one that you can save as a text file if you want.

Hey Ernie, idk if your aware but rebuilding any changes made to STDT entries writes all 0's out of the unsafe Buffer instead of the correct data. At least the current Source on github does, just thought i would let ya know

I noticed when i was trying to get some of the BLOC entries rebuildable. I'll likely setup the files first so that BBox at least displays them correctly with various info before i implement editing them. Exporting individual entries (GDOR, GEG1 etc) is done though, replacing on the other hand is not.

Hmm. It's probably safe to go ahead and release now. The rebuilding for SSE files still hasn't been implemented yet, but it displays and exports most of them now. I have around 7 SSE files being read and displaying data, and adding the rest will take quite a bit. However they all display with their Header tag, and can be exported.

So you can release a new version whenever you'd like. Nothing is in an unstable state right now as far as i can tell. :)

Hopefully i can get the rebuilding and the rest of the SSE files for the release after this one. :P as well as Dant's changes for BBox2Maya, that would be sweet

Hmm. It's probably safe to go ahead and release now. The rebuilding for SSE files still hasn't been implemented yet, but it displays and exports most of them now. I have around 7 SSE files being read and displaying data, and adding the rest will take quite a bit. However they all display with their Header tag, and can be exported.

So you can release a new version whenever you'd like. Nothing is in an unstable state right now as far as i can tell. :)

Hopefully i can get the rebuilding and the rest of the SSE files for the release after this one. :P as well as Dant's changes for BBox2Maya, that would be sweet
All right. I think I'll wait until after this weekend to post a new version, since there's nothing urgent.
Mind if I add your username to the copyright info (in the changelogs and About dialog)?

Sure, i don't mind.

Incidentally, i made it so when saving an STDT txt definition that it will create the STDT directory instead of notifying them that one does not exist. I hope thats okay? i figured if they're saving STDT definitions, they likely would want the STDT directory made anyways.

Hmm... I can't figure out what would cause that error. From the stack trace, it looks like it's happening on the call to Convert(...), but I'm allocating a byte array and passing it in right away. Not sure why it would be null.
Here's the code:
Code:
           byte[] utf8;
            fixed (char* p = s) { // s is a string
                utf8 = new byte[Encoding.UTF8.GetEncoder().GetByteCount(p, s.Length, true)];
                int charsUsed, bytesUsed;
                bool completed;
                fixed (byte* b = utf8) {
                    Encoding.UTF8.GetEncoder().Convert(p, s.Length, b, utf8.Length, true,
                        out charsUsed, out bytesUsed, out completed);
                }
                if (!completed) throw new Exception("Could not encode the MSBin file.");
            }
Mind sending me the MSBin file that makes it crash?

I look into all sorts of module stuff. Any kind of research really. I'll look into it i suppose, however the first thing i wanted to do with stage modules is document the constants. I've already done 2 stages for the most part here
(can't link it, links on here redirect to dantarions twitter for some reason)

opensa.dantarion.com/wiki/Stage_Module_Constants

I also do the same for the fighter modules. Aside from that, just last night i added all the IC-constants for being frozen on the ic-memory map lol

Post by: Mewtwo2000 on June 04, 2014, 03:18:23 PM
Mmm... Don't you think the version number has changed too fast if we look at the changelist?

I mean, Blackjax always did lots of changes to Brawlbox before he changed version number and not just the letter. This should be more like 0.71c, though I understand a number change coming because of the change of developer. So maybe 0.72b or 0.72c, but not 0.73 yet. Well, just a thought.

By the way, I've not seen a mention about this in the changelist, so I'll ask. Have the issues when importing a model (shader with no texturereference enabled) or editing it (NeedsNormalMtxArray forced to 'off' and not editable in Brawlbox) been fixed?



Title: Re: BrawlBox 0.73
Post by: Sammi Husky on June 04, 2014, 05:00:58 PM
I was thinking the same thing regarding the version numbers. Mainly because Not all the SSE files have been implemented. While they are all displaying correctly, only 6 or so are implemented (aside from rebuilding).

The texture ref error i might be able to fix today. Might..in any case i think we should probably go for 0.72b but thats personal preference lol

Now hold on just a minute. This wasn't a mistake on his part because I had this happen before and no one did anything about it and I'm on Windows 7.

Hey. This version of BrawlBox keeps messing up the .msbin for the songs.

Anytime I edit it even slightly and then save, it becomes corrupt no matter what happens. Even if I export it out and edit it on it's own, it ends up as corrupted whenever it saves. This didn't happen with the previous versions.

What gives? I'm not the only one having this issue, right?

There's definitely something wrong with this BrawlBox. Not only that, but it also keeps corrupting my Common5.pac, too. Or more accurately, the sc_selcharacter_en, sc_selcharacter2_en and sc_selmap_en inside of it, making it to where I suddenly can't access them inside only to find out they're corrupted when I export them.

That's kind of a really big bug it overlook, guys.

That most certainly is a really big bug to overlook, but i personally don't think its BBox native.

Now don't shoot me though, i could be wrong and it's worth looking into. The reason i don't think so, is because my tool uses the BrawLib from this version and deals almost exclusively with common5.

Aside from that, im using this one and trying everything i can to corrupt my common5 or any part of it, and i can't seem to do it? What exactly are you doing that is corrupting it? that way i can reproduce the results and try and fix the problem

Welcome to programming BB. You fix one minor thing and suddenly a bunch of major and completely unrelated features are apparently broken, but only for other people. :L

I also agree with the version number stuff. Change the number for major and/or large updates and change the letter for a group of bugfixes and minor revisions.

Saving it.

That's the confusing problem. I can even so much as export something from a clean common5, replace the existing one with that same freshly exported one, save it and something may or may not be corrupted. That's the other confusing thing: Sometimes it corrupts. Sometimes it doesn't.

And you can't tell it's been corrupted until you close out and go back in.

well i just did what u did... do a msbin from Common5, exported it as a clean and edited value's in it for text size, and it saved fine. re-opened and was still fine. replaced it in the common5 and saved fine also, so im not sure what exactly ur issue is.. :/

Interesting. Mind sending me a copy of your corrupted common5 the next time it corrupts?

The only thing i can think of is if something is being compressed in a way that the common5 doesnt like. For example, compressing the char_bust_tex_lz77 inside sc_selcharacter then saving and re-opening will cause that to happen as well. However this has always been that way regardless of bbox version.

Is there anything in particular your exporting/editing when it happens?

Probably not. I never thought to put it there. Maybe I should. Would it go under Misc->Other?

Next version (if/when it happens) will probably be 0.73a. It's too late to rename this one, I think. And unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce any more bugs yet :(

I suggest you guys get intel from the users on model importing - from what I heard on the WIP thread now and then, some functions don't work quite well on 0.71 (latest build by BJax) and they have to use an older brawlbox in order to make it work as they want to.

Misc other is fine. Its a good idea to expand your testers, encourage them for feed back.

Thanks Mate! Now I can make more Precise CSPs!

You can save the camera position and the model viewer will open to it and you can reset the view to it, in case you didn't know. Makes Brawlbox CSP making a lot faster and perfectly precise every time (unless you change the FOV or something... but that can be saved too).

Those are features I've never saw before. Could you add some more support such as SCLA and those so called camera parameters like cam_param.dat or something like that so that I can change the fov seperately on 4:3 and 16:9 so that I can continue to make a vert- brawl game?

But at this point, I'm very happy that Brawlbox is now on development.

A little off topic, but are there any exciting features upcoming for stage builders? Planed or unplanned I guess I should say. This is NOT a request, just a question. I don't like asking more then can be done.
I don't have anything I'm currently working on, although I would like to see if I can make stagePosition easier to edit, sorta like the old BrawlWall app. Depends on how easy/hard it is to do :P

The SCLA file is a file that i have been experimenting with in my thread for File Research. To my knowledge there isn't anything known about it? at least as far as i know.

Of course i would be adding a way to edit it once i find out the structure of the file. With SCLA all entries in stage .pacs (beside SSE stages) will be editable. i can't think of any besides SCLA in stages that aren't known and editable currently. The collision editor displays all models and textures etc etc and shows the level as it would be seen in game for the most part, but you can't position the models. Only displaying the bones.


In regards to stage editing etc etc, one thing i would really really like to add and will hopefully be able to pull off in the future would be to allow editing and re-positioning of models from within the collision editor. Reason for this would be because position seperate models within the stages is a pain in the butt at the moment, and to make creating SSE levels in BBox a reality, i would like to make that editable. This of course will take a whole lot of work

I would also like to implement the ability to play all animations in the level from the collision editor, in order to better represent what the stage would look like in game. :)

long term goals, but that's about it

Well yes, Delfino and other moving stages that follow a path (delfino, halberd etc etc) have an unknown file as well, i didn't mention them because they are so explicitly used, and nobody knows what for iirc.

Then there is pictochat, which has a ton of unknown files.

Do you think you can figure out the structures of the SCLA because that has parameters to their own aspect ratio? Hex editing the SCLA or not yet parts of every stage pacs are hard to do.

My question to you would be, do you know of any interesting values in the SCLA? :/ I am going to work on it, it's in my thread. I was just wondering if you had any information for me to jot down, it would make adding support for editing it a whole lot easier.

STPM and STDT are already editable, so SCLA would be nice to get editable as well

No, I don't quite know the values yet. Could you also work on the cam_param.dat as well too so that I can change the function to make that game work on vert- as other games use.

The information about the screen change can be found here:

http://www.wsgf.org/category/screen-change/vert (http://www.wsgf.org/category/screen-change/vert)

It may also include some pc games that use it in which I want to make this wii game like the other games that make the top and bottom cropped off when set on 16:9 and 4:3 to reveal more top and bottom in the same width as 16x9.

Hey are you guys still doing things, cause I have a request.

When I preview all models, would it be possible to have all models in a .brres play an animation simultaneously when I select/play an animation? It would make updating Poke Floats 2 much less of a headache.


Title: Re: BrawlBox 0.73
Post by: Sammi Husky on June 20, 2014, 02:24:27 PM
Im always looking for new things to add/improve so i can possibly look into that. The thing is, im deciding whether it would be a better idea to add support to the model previewer for editing collisions at the same time,  if it would be better to just improve/merge the collision and model previewer, or just to altogether make a new function for previewing the entire stage and having it use a new form that would be a crossover between the two.

The latter of the approaches would likely be easier for creating / previewing stages and SSE stuff...but it feels kinda redundant to make a new form when the collision editor already has almost all the features except playing all the level's animations, and moving around the models that comprise the scene.

The first thing i mentioned (adding collision support to the model previewer) LibertyErnie seems to be experimenting around with on github :P

Hey Mewtwo2000 - what's the problem you're having with NeedsNormalMtxArray?

Oh, that. Well, I've not tested 0.73 yet, but the 0.71 I have doesn't let me set to true or false that property (it's disabled for edition), while older versions did. Also, for some reason, it seems to be forced to false after saving an edited model, cause when I save, it says it's true, but when I open it again it's false.

Anyway, when I get time tomorrow, I'll try the new build and will see if that's fixed or not.

I can tell from the code that the program is trying to set that property automatically. Looking at it now, I think it goes back to whether any of the objects in the MDL0 have one of the HasTextureMatrix* properties set to true. Try editing those and see if it sticks after you save.

Showing collisions in the model viewer is coming along nicely, but it's only read-only. Adding collision editing to the model viewer would probably be harder.

I would agree with that because I never edited collisions before. I'm sure brawlwall would let you edit them.

Well, it doesn't have the issue it had before for me, maybe I had a 0.71 which wasn't final, or maybe 0.73 is just fixed. As it's apparently something that only makes sense to have when the said property is found on at least one of the objects, it's okay if it's not editable now, but automatic. So, forget my report.

For the moment, 0.73 seems to work just fine, so I'll be removing 0.71 from my quickstart menu. Right now, the ones in my quickstart are 0.63d modset, 0.67b, 0.69 and now 0.73.

I've been able to add collisions to the model viewer now (read-only), so you can see them along with the models - or not (you can turn them off with a button next to Polygons and Bones.) If you're playing an animation on a model that collisions are tied to, the collisions should move along with it.

I also have a feature working where it can detect when the selected bone is within 5 units of a floor collision (this is for placing spawn points.) I suppose the thing on the end of the bone should change color, but I'll have to see what looks the best. Any suggestions? Right now I change the blue circle to cyan when you're close enough. (5 units seems to be the threshold for a spawn point to appear on the floor, and not under or above it.)

I love that the collisions move with the bone they're attached to in the previewer, that's pretty awesome. How about instead of a color change, maybe add some sort of toggle-able snap feature that automatically snaps a bone to a floor collision?

Good idea. I played around with it tonight, and found a good way to do snapping that also reuses the code I have for highlighting. Once I add a menu item to enable snapping, it will snap up or down to the collision if it's cyan when you let go of the mouse button.

By the way, here's a vine of the collisions in the model previewer. I didn't realize this before, but if you have "All" selected for the target model, you can apply one animation to all of them. (What you can't do is play multiple animations at a time.)

Awesome work mate, this alone will make creating new SSE levels immensely easier. Since many objects in the level.pac/BLOC archive designate the fileindex of the collision definition to use, as well as what model index to use.

I'll probably also make a button to zoom the camera to a specific bone and/or model. Would make navigating quite a bit more convenient. For example in large SSE stages you could select a bone or model from waayyy farther in the level and hit the zoom extents button to zoom the camera to it's position :)

Huh. Not sure what would have changed between then and now. Unfortunately, I don't know much about model importing, so I might not be able to fix it.

I did fix the thing Mewtwo2000 posted a pic of. It must have something to do with the Visual Studio designer and my high-DPI laptop -- I just reverted the MainForm.Designer.cs to an earlier version and re-did my changes manually :P

Also, TheShyGuy sent me the source code of his changes to the interpolation editor, and those are now integrated into my GitHub repo. So they'll be in the next release too!

(I found a really slick way to import the changes:
  • Make a new Git branch, based on the commit I made way back when I imported BlackJax's 0.71
  • Copy TheShyGuy's code into the working directory
  • Make a commit to the new branch
  • Switch back to the master branch and merge the newly created one into it)

I didn't even realize you could merge collision strands. How do you do it?

Click and drag to make a cube between two strands in which their ends are very, very close to each other, then select "merge" to merge them both.

Also you can "split" two strands, just select one strand's end if its merged with another and select "split", it separates it from the other. Its useful to make platforms if you find some unnecessary collisions that you would not like to delete, or to simple delete extra collisions you don't need.

Selecting more than two strands and clicking "merge" will make a single strand instead.

@libertyernie There is a bug where you try to edit an mdl0 model with no objects like nodeIndex.mdl0 or static.mdl0 & then when you try to export it you get an error saying that "Object reference is not set to an instance of an object". Can you fix that bug please?

Does anyone know where the locations are all the font files? Like not in the font folders, but in the pac files through Brawlbox. I read in an old thread that in MiscData[9], MiscData[10] (were raw files because brawlbox doesn't recognize them) in common2.pac and common3.pac contain font_hira.brfnt, font_melee.brfnt and font_latin1.arc, font_latin12.arc respectively.

common2.pac
- MiscData[9] = font_hira.brfnt
- MiscData[10] = font_melee.brfnt

common3.pac
- MiscData[9] = font_latin1.arc
- MiscData[10] = font_latin12.arc

So I cannot find font_watch.arc. Does anyone know where this is located at in the pac files?  Or can someone help me look for it also within the pac files? It should be 232 KB! I would be very very thankful if you can help me find it! Or is there a way to find it easier?

I'm trying to translate Project M into Korean that's why I need the font files!

Hey guys I'm having some trouble replacing Olimar's sfx in smashbros_sound.brsar. I have tried 4 different versions of brawlbox(including this one). It either crashes or replaces multiple sounds instead of just 1. I am using this file:

http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=28732 (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=28732)

When I try to replace Olimar's "Attack 1" wave file with the wav included in the download it also replaces "Attack 2-7", among others, with the same sound. How can I make it so brawlbox only replaces one sound so the sfx works as it does in the video? I have already PMed the developer and he was unable to help me.

So do the newest versions of BrawlBox support RSAR editing? Because it'd be nice to be able to, for example, add Final Smash echo to a sound, or remove it from a sound. You can view the RSARs in v0.71, but the changes cannot be saved through any means, so that's kind of a downer.

How much bigger would you like the .ico (the icon used for shortcuts and exes, I believe)? You could always increase the size of the file with GIMP. I'm assuming this is for a new BrawlBox icon or something.

Little progress, tried hacking together rendering the camera and death boundaries..looks pretty okay for now. You can also move around the bones and the graphics will update while you move them, so pretty useful. Still kinda hacky in the code, so i'll have to clean that up. I've also made it so you can toggle on and off rendering the collisions in the model previewer. There was a button there, but it didn't work til now :)

The blue boundary is the area where the camera will now longer follow you and put you inside the damaging magnifier, where the red is the death boundary.

Well, got spawn points and respawns roughly rendered as well. The initial spawns actually consist of two points that are slightly offset from each other, hence the brighter green where spheres overlap :) Since i don't want to flood the screen with more colors, i'll have to think of a creative way to show the FS locations. that is if i decide they need to be rendered at all really, since they are just a single point and are quite easy to distinguish from their name.

There are still some bugs with rotating the camera and such since some of these boxes overlap, however i should have those fixed soon. For now, it's easy enough to just turn off the overlays before rotating around the stage unless you don't mind the blue and red mixing together like an old 3d movie :P. For moving all these points around, you shouldn't have to rotate the camera much anyhow.

You guys should continue developing BrawlBox so that it can be compatible with PSA, as well as add other functions like importing from Blender to BrawlBox, or those bugs with Sawnds imports and stuff.(I've heard a lot of complaints about those 3 things, though the importing from Blender I myself have complained about.)

I only kindof agree...
I say just to fix the DAE export so materials don't mess up with blender...
(that, and the normals have to be fixed after importing)


the only part of me that says to drop the multi-format support is because of my program, UMC...
once UMC's capable of importing and exporting an MDL0 of any version, BrawlBox won't really need those extra formats.

the up-side, when a format in UMC doesn't work right, it'll be extremely easy to correct.
(unlike BrawlBox, UMC isn't hard-coded, and the language is fixed up for noobs)
^ with UMC, there's no jumping through hoops to add support for a new format. ;)

not trying to promote my program... (even though it REALLY sounds like it)
I'm just stating my feelings as to why brbx should stay MDL0 only. :P

Alright, well I've fixed the problems with the overlapping primitives causing camera issues, so here is the final rendering of cam boundaries and spawn locations. The only other change i've made to the model previewer is adding a button next to the "Reset Camera" called "Zoom Extents". This button simply zooms and positions your camera at the selected bone. (note: I've recently found that there is a bug where if your aligned perfectly with the bone, the translation tool doesn't like to work.) This has likely always been there, but the chances of lining up with the tools perfectly were very very slim before i added this button. The only other bug really is that if you have the boundary overlays on, you cannot select a respawn / spawn bone by hand (zooming in and clicking on it). This is mainly because the sphere that surrounds the bone's orb.

This has been a productive week for me, so i also got around to finally getting BLOC archives rebuildable, which means i can start adding support for editing the various files for SSE now

I have just finished that actually. Still a bit ugly though. In any case, i've changed the UI so that the boundaries button is replaced by a dropdown, where you can individually toggle each overlay. (Boundaries, spawn/respawn, and item fields). Other then that, i've also added a little combo box to select your tool type. (Rotation, Translation, Scale). This makes things a bit more fluid, and also allows you to switch your tool while still selecting a bone. The only other things to mention are that the ledgegrabs have their respective collision link Highlighted purple (however you can't see it in this picture), and that dropthrough platforms are rendered yellow.

The UI as of right now, looks like this. The colors of overlays and other things may still be tweaked and such in the future. (especially the item fields, which are currently pretty yuck)

Alrighty, with that done there is one less thing to do. So, I've still been working on various features and improvements, however for the most part i think i'm out of changes to put in this version. I'm saving really major changes for the next one, that is if i can pull them off.

Are there any other changes being worked on at the moment?
I am working on OpenAL support (through OpenTK) so that you can play audio files without using Wine (just use Mono). However, I have put that on hitaus, because I am really confused about https://github.com/libertyernie/brawltools/blob/master/BrawlLib/System/Audio/AudioBuffer.cs#L92 , https://github.com/libertyernie/brawltools/blob/master/BrawlLib/System/Audio/AudioBuffer.cs#L93 , https://github.com/libertyernie/brawltools/blob/master/BrawlLib/System/Audio/wAudioBuffer.cs#L62 , and https://github.com/libertyernie/brawltools/blob/master/BrawlLib/System/Audio/wAudioBuffer.cs#L91 . There's very few documentation about Lock and Unlock, and isn't DirectSound8 very outdated anyway?

I have just finished that actually. Still a bit ugly though. In any case, i've changed the UI so that the boundaries button is replaced by a dropdown, where you can individually toggle each overlay. (Boundaries, spawn/respawn, and item fields). Other then that, i've also added a little combo box to select your tool type. (Rotation, Translation, Scale). This makes things a bit more fluid, and also allows you to switch your tool while still selecting a bone. The only other things to mention are that the ledgegrabs have their respective collision link Highlighted purple (however you can't see it in this picture), and that dropthrough platforms are rendered yellow.

The UI as of right now, looks like this. The colors of overlays and other things may still be tweaked and such in the future. (especially the item fields, which are currently pretty yuck)

I see. Unfortunately, i know next to nothing about audio. But i will take a few pokes around and see if i can't help out. I've been meaning to look into audio within OpenTK for a while now anyways :)

Okay, thank you :-)
The sound code seems really tied to Windows/DirectSound8.

Hello BrawlBox Modder section,
I have an issue trying to import a flame graphic from my Phoenix PSA over Zelda to a new PSA over Samus.
Whenever I try, I get this.
(http://i.imgur.com/erXymZN.jpg)


This is what it's supposed to look like...
(http://i.imgur.com/PJo2yC6.jpg)

See the dark redness and the red circular image- in the first pic- that 'probably' should be transparent?


Click the spoiler delow for some detailed notes which lead me to consider here might be the best place for this issue.
If anyone has any insights, please lmk or PM me.

-Note: Trying to fix flame box issue. (There’s an ugly red square beneath the fire gfx). It seems deleting or editing them in any way while in Samus’s file causes her to freeze on CSS select. Additionally, I’ve noted that the ugly red box/disc might be from a circle wakka that’s supposed to be transparent. So, if I can trouble shoot and fix that (maybe in Zelda Phoenix) and then port it back to Samus Phoenix, it might work? Hm. Testing now.
   On Zelda select, the game froze briefly but then persisted in allowing me to play. The flame gfx were gone (first test was to delete them all as a base line, except for the Ptc file). So, now to systematically delete them one at a time to figure out which is the circle flare or whaterver.
   Through looking systematically through the reff files for the flames, and comparing them (using BB73) to eachother to see if there were any differences, I have found…
Flame Burn > Animations > AnimCurve1 = Magic 172, KindType 0, KindEnable 7, RandomSeed 62498, FrameLength 10, KeyTableSize 36, RangeTableSize 0, RandomTable Size 320, NameTableSize 2147483744, Info Table Size 9…
   While on Samus…
PtcFlameBurn > Animations > AnimCurve1= Magic 0, KindType 26, KindEnable 8, RandomSeed 0, FrameLength 16256, KeyTableSize 0, RangeTableSize 91136, RandomtTableSize 0, NameTableSize 0, InfoTableSize 0.
   Why are these two so different? And are there any other differences in these files? If I edit these files so they match, will the game persist in crashing at any small change made in BB??
   Additionally, when AnimCurve is expanded on Zelda’s side it has a keytable, a randomtable, a name table and an info table. But Samus’s side only has a range table…
   Okay…so exporting it from Zelda’s PSa and importing it into Samus’s PSa proved useless. (Maybe it won’t work without some other accompanying files?). I replaced the file on Samus’s side and saved it, then ran it in dolphin. When I selected Samus on the CSS in training mode, I got some backPatch error. I was forced to close Dolphin, so I went back to BB73 that still had samus opened. I clicked on the subfiles of the file I had imported and the whole thing just crashed… (sigh).
   Correction. It’s clicking on the ‘info table’ under animCurve1 that crashes. And…I guess this is to be expected (perhaps it’s a brawl box-specific issue) since I just found out that it happens on both Zelda’s PSA and Samus’s. Hmm.
   But what’s the deal with the backPatch error I got when I selected Samus? Zelda doesn’t give me that (and Zelda’s flames work perfectly).
   So far, I’ve continued exploring the files and found that the last AnimCurve for each of the sub-reff gfx has been different/(incorrect?) in Samus’s file when compared to Phoenix’s file- even though they are direct imports of each other. Hmm. I wonder if this is a BrawlBox v73 error…
   Whenever I attempt to expand one of these ‘improperly ported subfiles’  BBv73 immediately crashes. (But once I replace them with an exported original subfile, it immediately works and is expandable successfully). [Random note: I think my grandmother is making Spagetti, hmm 8/7/14 @ 459pm]
   (Sigh) Even after fixing all the anim curves and key tables, it still doesn’t work. Just freezes on the css still. (Sigh).

No, the change is that any POSIX compliant OS can now load files under mono, instead of just Linux.
However, sound doesn't work yet under mono, use wine instead.

Another thing, I've used the hex editor for SCLA and that one changes the sound and slipperiness. What I'm trying to look for is the parameters for the camera to every stage that will change the FOV, aspect and more which I don't know if that's cam_param.dat or something else that will cause the X and Y FOV values to change in their seperate aspect ratio.

Oh, I found something in the STPM. It's Value53 which is the Field of view.

SCLA files are called "stage shadow collision check" by the game, however that is correct. I had already known about the SCLA files dictating slipperiness and step sounds, however it's not the same parameters between stages. In any case, thanks for the heads up on Value53

To edit the stage collisions, it would be the same as the other versions. You must use the collision editor to do so. The model previewer can view them, only to better situate 3d models and animations around the collisions (and the previewer can play the animations while collisions are attached).

EDIT: Ninja'd :P Though this version does introduce the model previewer changes for visualizing the stage camera boundaries, spawn points, item zones etc etc

One more question, how to  change the stage boundaries


Title: Re: BrawlBox 0.73b
Post by: Sammi Husky on August 14, 2014, 12:47:51 PM
The stage boundaries are controlled by bones in the stagepos 3d model. in this version, i added the option to visualize the stage boundaries while using the advanced model previewer. To edit the boundaries, you'll want first enable them (overlays->boundaries) then find the bones that control them and move them around. Red line is the death limit, blue line is the magnifying glass boundary and the blue region in between is the area where you are inside the damaging magnifier

But what I want to do is import dds into brawlbox as no other format supports mipmaps.

You edit the bone position as used in the model and place it to whatever you want, but if it's a platform then you will also have to move the collision as well within the object you've placed (e.g. Boss Battles Rest Area).

Unfortunately from what I've gathered, this issue traces back pretty far. It seems to have originated when BBox transitioned to its newer collada importer. It's likely that something along the way got missed, which is why it's not setting it. In theory i could band-aid it incredibly easily yes, however that's almost never a good idea. I'd much rather find the root of the problem and work from there. Unfortunately, so much code changed in so little time when the new importer was created that it's a fair amount of code diffs to search through. That, and i have to become acquainted with the format before i look into why it's not working correctly.

that all being said, it would be nice if i could get it fixed by next version. :)

Post by: Ondo on September 07, 2014, 08:19:00 PM
So I just submitted a pull request - I'll repeat the description here, so others can see it and because I'm not sure where you'd prefer to discuss.

I was seeing a NullReferenceError on the first line changed when previewing a model, closing the model editor, then repeating - on the third close it would throw the error. (This was editing Project M's sc_selcharacter.pac > MiscData[30] > MenSelchrBack2_TopN, or MenSelchrFaceI_TopN - I didn't test any others.)

The second error (with _targetModels) would show up when the same thing was done, but would take between 2 and 7 iterations to crash. It seemed to happen more consistently when editing was done - changing the animation for MenSelchrFaceI was what I was trying to do when I came across this.

Obviously this is a blunt fix; it would be better to learn why these are null sometimes. I think _targetModels in particular should probably never be null, and things setting it to that should probably be making it be an empty list instead.

Cool, glad it was helpful.

I've noticed that texture UVs don't seem to be editable - any idea why?  I'd like it fixed, and may look into it myself eventually, but if you wanted to get to it first (or point me in the right direction), that'd be great.  (Also, I'm not sure if it ever worked.  Not in 0.71, anyway.)  The first time I needed it done I exported to a raw file, hex edited, and imported...

I'm way out of the loop, so excuse the ignorance--can BrawlBox be used to edit the sfx calls for movesets yet, or do I still have to use PSA? To be clear, I'm not talking about the sounds themselves, I know how to edit those, but I mean the voices and sound effects that each move calls to be played.

If the program just closes, try opening the program from the command line (windows key + r, enter cmd.exe) and then cd "Z:\your\directory\here" and then type the name of the executable. Once it crashes, you should paste the output of the command line to pastebin and then put the pastebin link here. (Don't put the log here!!!) That will help a lot!

Not sure how many people will actually make use of this, but it does pertain to stage makers. I've just finished implementing the stage Item generation tables. (which control the frequency at which items appear)

(http://i.imgur.com/suj0q7Z.png)

i haven't really messed around with it in game, but i wonder if this can actually tell the game to load stage specific items..that would be cool, but for some reason i doubt it would. In any case, there are common tables for all stages and modes int common3.pac. The tables there are used for things like assist trophy frequency, pokemon, and modes such as sudden death. (to choose to spawn the bob-omb that's already primed for exploding) I've laid out alot of information on the OpenSA wiki about it..so if your interested check there.

Title: Re: BrawlBox 0.73b
Post by: Sammi Husky on September 15, 2014, 02:13:59 AM
Alright so after a bit of experimenting with this, i've actually found that the game will indeed try to load any items that are within the tables. EVEN if they are stage specific. For example, i tried spawning apples from Green Greens and the log spit something out saying it was looking for the itmAppleParam.pac and ItmAppleBress.pac in the "Item/apple/" directory. (which doesn't even exist) this obviously crashed the game, however that means the game automatically updated the file name based on the item Id and looked for that file in that directory. Just move the files to that directory and BAM it's spawnable

This means that basically any item that can be thought of can be spawned in any level now, including stage specific items such as the apple from green greens and the actual spore shot from the lipstick....meaning you can actually make a level with random flower effect "puffs" appearing now and again. You can EVEN spawn assist trophy's and Pokemon this way..though i haven't tested it all the way through and may crash after disappear. In any case, i hope people have fun with this :)

Not sure how many people will actually make use of this, but it does pertain to stage makers. I've just finished implementing the stage Item generation tables. (which control the frequency at which items appear)

([url]http://i.imgur.com/suj0q7Z.png[/url])

i haven't really messed around with it in game, but i wonder if this can actually tell the game to load stage specific items..that would be cool, but for some reason i doubt it would. In any case, there are common tables for all stages and modes int common3.pac. The tables there are used for things like assist trophy frequency, pokemon, and modes such as sudden death. (to choose to spawn the bob-omb that's already primed for exploding) I've laid out alot of information on the OpenSA wiki about it..so if your interested check there.

Alright so after a bit of experimenting with this, i've actually found that the game will indeed try to load any items that are within the tables. EVEN if they are stage specific. For example, i tried spawning apples from Green Greens and the log spit something out saying it was looking for the itmAppleParam.pac and ItmAppleBress.pac in the "Item/apple/" directory. (which doesn't even exist) this obviously crashed the game, however that means the game automatically updated the file name based on the item Id and looked for that file in that directory. Just move the files to that directory and BAM it's spawnable

This means that basically any item that can be thought of can be spawned in any level now, including stage specific items such as the apple from green greens and the actual spore shot from the lipstick....meaning you can actually make a level with random flower effect "puffs" appearing now and again. You can EVEN spawn assist trophy's and Pokemon this way..though i haven't tested it all the way through and may crash after disappear. In any case, i hope people have fun with this :)
Falcon Punch me, is this for reals!?!

I've just tested, i can even spawn the crabs and koopas from the mario bros stage :) i've also found where the game loads the item names and such inside sora_melee.rel. If i had the ability to actually add bytes to module and rebuild the relocations i could possibly add new items to the game..

PSA version 1.3a in my sig and in my thread can edit items and kirby hat files :)

Yep! what i was referring to was actually if i can add any bytes to sora_melee without it breaking....which i might not be able to it seems. I'll have to experiment around a bit and see if i can't get it working. For now, i can say that i've made a bit of progress in doing it..and it shouldn't be that hard to do. From what i can tell, it seems the game loads item ID's indiscriminately through ASM. As long as the data exists, it should load from the "item/" directory without much modifications

So, i've got Module nodes that are embedded within files showing now. Not that significant of a change, however many don't know that the miscdata's in common3 and common2 are actually the runtime modules. You could have always exported them and added .rel to the end to open them individually, but now they show within the files and are editable from there :)

The item lists are limited to one, however doesn't mean it's not possible to have a single spawn point only pull from one table or group. I haven't tested, but it may be possible to have specific spawn points pull from their own group nodes or table nodes. (every stage except SSE stages only have 1 table filled in, with a maximum of 5.)

yea that. The files all have null placeholders for the other 4 tables, but are still included in the files rather then just removing them. To me, that means they are significant in some way. SSE stages make use of all the tables, but it seems that all normal stages (at least the ones i've checked) only use 1 table.

Have you thought of moves where hitboxes are in SubRoutines can show up via model viewer? That was my only problem, whenever I edit characters. As for the item spawning, I noticed that  whenever you have 1 spawn bone at say, (-50,25), and the other at (60,50), I wasn't sure if it would turn into a square and everything, but it turns out, that it stays in a linear line instead of a square. I not sure if I'm right, but you could try and look at it again if you want to.

If you use the advanced model viewer to view the whole stage, you can turn on the item spawn overlays. The two bones do make a rectangle, that's why it shows as a rectangle in the model previewer :P

Bug reports:

1. When you change the bone control using E,R,T or View -> Viewer -> Bone Control, the drop down on the top right of the window doesn't update to reflect the correct control. Same with the other way around; they need to be synchronized.

2. When the Environment Settings window (under Options) is open and a bone control is visible or any of the stage overlays are visible, they become huge in size. The size reverts back to normal when the window is closed.

3. In SHP0Editor.cs - UpdateSHP0Indices(), the line

if (SelectedAnimation != null && TargetModel != null)

needs to be changed to

if (SelectedAnimation != null && TargetModel != null && TargetModel._vertList != null)

I got the error because the target model dropdown was set to All, I had the stage position model selected, and a SHP0 for another model was being applied to it in the SHP0 editor. There weren't any vertex nodes in the model for it to use :P

And a suggestion. When you click Preview All Models, the target model drop down at the top of the window should be set to All by default.


I'll probably fix these things on the side of my projects at some point, but for now hopefully you guys can beat me to it.

Do you think you could send me a copy of the file your working with? Last i checked, the only thing that caused that was editing an MDL0 with no objects. However, i recall LibertyErnie fixing that at one point and i don't have any trouble previewing all models and closing OR saving it. Even previewing all models in a brres containing only a model with no objects doesn't reproduce it.

2. When the Environment Settings window (under Options) is open and a bone control is visible or any of the stage overlays are visible, they become huge in size. The size reverts back to normal when the window is closed.

I've gone ahead and fixed 1 & 3. For number 2, it seems it's messing things up only when the light source is being drawn. If the lightsource isn't drawn at all, it never happens. The problem is that the things being done to lightsource are affecting the geometry of the bone controls, the bone orbs, overlays, and collisions. basically anything being drawn with GL.XXX is being scaled and rotated the same way the light source is for some reason. I'll have to look into it a bit more since i'm not too great with the GL stuff.


Title: Re: BrawlBox 0.73b
Post by: BlackJax96 on September 29, 2014, 10:53:59 PM
Well GL is a state machine, so anything that's set to on needs to be set back to off when you're done. A call was probably made inside of the 'if' statement to scale up the scene to draw the light source, and for whatever reason another call wasn't made at the end to scale it back down before rendering the other controls.


Title: Re: BrawlBox 0.73b
Post by: Sammi Husky on September 30, 2014, 12:53:39 AM
Yea i figured that was the case. Dunno if I've fixed it perfectly, but it seems that I've fixed it by scaling it back down to .01 and rotating y + Azimuth. Though since depth tests are disabled when rendering the light source and the rest of the rendering normally has it enabled, i had to enable it again afterwards otherwise it would mess some stuff up later down the road.

Anywhozits, here's some pictures! Methods! :D Under section 5 will be the methods. Im still working on a few kinks here and there, but for the most part they are completely functional. You can right click->open memory viewer to open directly to the method's target section and offset. Using the section editor of course, so it will disassemble and show the method. This also means you can see linked commands and open relocations, since it's using the section editor. (which is AWESOME for following exactly what a method is doing.) speaking of which...i'm also working on making it so you can double click on any branch or branch link command, click "Open Branch" to jump to where the code would jump to, without doing the math yourself :) Just more convenience for following the methods flow

 (Don't mind the red colored nodes, that was just to temporarily show me that external method nodes were working right...though it could stay if people would like?)

Aww yiss, this is great. I've been meaning to add the object parser back.

One thing though - I've been hesitant to add it back because I don't know if ALL rels used in any game follow this same "null, code, constructors, destructors, constants, objects, BSS, null" kind of format. I know that some brawl rels only use 5 sections instead of 6, which would mean that parsing the 5th section as objects would be incorrect. Another thing is that tree nodes are a bit cumbersome to dynamically manage using code. I was thinking there should be an intuitive object editor that you could optionally open and would be incorporated into the section editor window. It would only find objects if there were strings in the section so it would have no negative effect if used on non-object sections.

i'm also working on making it so you can double click on any branch or branch link command, click "Open Branch" to jump to where the code would jump to, without doing the math yourself :) Just more convenience for following the methods flow

Wait wait wait lol. I actually already did this. :P

Yea i had the same thought. Not all rel's follow the pattern, and i don't like the idea of statically hard-coding in the section to be parsed based on index either. It's really only a placeholder :P I had a similar idea to make a new control + form for the method editor, that way it'd be easier to edit them and at the same time it would be easier to add / delete methods without coding the functionality into the section editor.

If you're going to add that to BrawlLib, make sure there's an option to choose between OpenAL and DirectSound as default.

I had a similar idea to make a new control + form for the method editor, that way it'd be easier to edit them and at the same time it would be easier to add / delete methods without coding the functionality into the section editor.

That's probably a better idea. :P I was just thinking about being able to see the hex still because I don't know if the object parser reads EVERY byte in the section. With a parser, we need to worry about rebuilding the objects section and how that should be done so that no byte is left out (and ideally, the section doesn't appear changed if it's rebuilt with no changes).

So I figured out a new technique for reducing the size of CSPs substantially, and it'd be nice if BrawlBox could be updated to support it.

It's desirable to store CSPs in CI8 format, but limitations on the compressed size of common5.pac make that impossible if there are too many characters and costumes.  However, many costumes are just recolors.  Since we want to store them in a format that separates the main image data and the palette, it'd be nice to store just one copy of the main image data and then a palette for each recolor.

In testing, I've found this is possible - each TEX0 does require its own header, in order to point to its name, but it is possible to put, for example, 9 TEX0 headers in a row, followed by their data, as long as each header has its length changed to include all the following headers.  (So with 9 the first has length 0x240, the second 0x200, and so on, until the last is just the standard 0x40.)

I've done a proof-of-concept test, available here (http://bit.ly/TestBRRES). To see it, just import that BRRES over sc_selcharacter_en > char_bust_tex_lz77 > MiscData[17], and change the compression to ExtendedLZ77 (or just LZ77).  It's the Smash 3 textures for Mr. Game & Watch, but note that while they all share the same image data I did not rearrange the palettes so that would actually work well.

So there's obviously a lot of work to get this to a place where it's easy to use.  I'm wondering, in particular, what the interface in BrawlBox should be.  One possibility, for minimal support, is just having an option on a BRRES to compact it, where it just goes through and looks for identical textures and merges them if found, relying on other tools to create textures that will work with that.

More thorough support might be having an option to import multiple images at once, ideally including doing the quantization with all of them together, to make image data that works as well as possible with each of the palettes.  Not sure how the UI would work for that, though.

My current plan is to work on some simple tools in Ruby for doing much of this (as I find that more enjoyable to work in, particularly when experimenting on things).  As I've been looking into quantization algorithms, I'm hoping to at some point add another algorithm to BrawlBox, whether or not it includes support for multiple images at once.

It's desirable to store CSPs in CI8 format, but limitations on the compressed size of common5.pac make that impossible if there are too many characters and costumes.  However, many costumes are just recolors.  Since we want to store them in a format that separates the main image data and the palette, it'd be nice to store just one copy of the main image data and then a palette for each recolor.

In testing, I've found this is possible - each TEX0 does require its own header, in order to point to its name, but it is possible to put, for example, 9 TEX0 headers in a row, followed by their data, as long as each header has its length changed to include all the following headers.  (So with 9 the first has length 0x240, the second 0x200, and so on, until the last is just the standard 0x40.)

I've done a proof-of-concept test, available here ([url]http://bit.ly/TestBRRES[/url]). To see it, just import that BRRES over sc_selcharacter_en > char_bust_tex_lz77 > MiscData[17], and change the compression to ExtendedLZ77 (or just LZ77).  It's the Smash 3 textures for Mr. Game & Watch, but note that while they all share the same image data I did not rearrange the palettes so that would actually work well.

So there's obviously a lot of work to get this to a place where it's easy to use.  I'm wondering, in particular, what the interface in BrawlBox should be.  One possibility, for minimal support, is just having an option on a BRRES to compact it, where it just goes through and looks for identical textures and merges them if found, relying on other tools to create textures that will work with that.

More thorough support might be having an option to import multiple images at once, ideally including doing the quantization with all of them together, to make image data that works as well as possible with each of the palettes.  Not sure how the UI would work for that, though.

My current plan is to work on some simple tools in Ruby for doing much of this (as I find that more enjoyable to work in, particularly when experimenting on things).  As I've been looking into quantization algorithms, I'm hoping to at some point add another algorithm to BrawlBox, whether or not it includes support for multiple images at once.

Wonderful idea, would work great when it's all about recolors.

Too bad it wouldn't work well when imports are involved... But at least it will help opening space.

What are some unfinished features? Also, there is my report of a comment that shows that another BrawlVault Staff member told me to wait in a rude/inappropriate way like saying "Get out." as I was only asking nicely for a build even though it could be in development and asking when will it be released.

You don't require visual studio professional to compile it. You can use the free version by Microsoft, visual studio express. Personally, i prefer compiling code myself when it comes to open source projects anyways. It's pretty easy. just go the github repo on the first page of this thread, and on the right there is a button to download the source in a .zip. Just unzip it and double click the .sln file. Then in the menu bar up top click build->rebuild solution.

Your compiled version will be in brawltools/brawlbox/bin/debug or brawltools/brawlbox/bin/release depending on if you compiled a debug build or release build.

Microsoft also announced a new free version (http://techcrunch.com/2014/11/12/microsoft-makes-visual-studio-free-for-small-teams/) of Visual Studio recently. I haven't tried it yet - I got VS 2013 before I graduated from college and I've been using it since then.

Yesterday and today I added support for enabling/disabling codes in a TXT file to BrawlBox's built-in Code Manager. Before, it couldn't read codes that were in this format (note the asterisk):
Code:
* 01234567 89ABCDEF
Now, when it reads a file that has some of these codes, it will mark those as checked and the rest are unchecked. Multi-line comments are also supported now.

(http://i.imgur.com/suq9xjM.png)

Just a note: I didn't realize this until I looked at the code, but when BrawlBox saves a GCT, it puts extra data at the end of a file to store the names, position and length of each code, so you can open it in BrawlBox later and see the separate codes.

I might as well ask my other question here. Is there an easier way to swap subactions between PSAs than copying and pasting Main, GFX, SFX, and other separately? It'd be nice if I could copy all parts of a subaction with one click and then replace the old subaction.

Please, i request that you do not post development builds in this thread.

We're nearing release now anyways, so please let others wait the short amount of time left. If people get the dev build now, it will be unfinished, and many will likely not come get the completed version afterwards.

VoidPtr works the same as byte*, so either or.

Here's some examples of what does and doesn't work.

Good:
int offset = 0x10;
VoidPtr address2 = (VoidPtr)address + offset;

Good:
int offset = 0x10;
byte* address2 = (byte*)address + offset;

Bad:
int offset = 0x10;
buint* address2 = (buint*)address + offset; //increments by 0x40 instead

Good:
int offset = 0x4;
buint* address2 = (buint*)address + offset; //buint increments by four bytes, and 0x10 / 0x4 is 0x4

Good:
VoidPtr address;
buint* otherAddress;
int offset = (int)address - (int)otherAddress; //By casting to int, you get the raw address value so the pointer type doesn't matter

This won't happen to people who get the released version, since they're version number won't be ahead of the latest release

If you download the new version and it immediately shows an update (even though it v0.74 was just released), it means we're on the job fixing bugs that are just now showing themselves :P the exe unpacker will show all of the changes we made in each update, too.

This is the official bug tracker, and will also be used for suggestions and enhancements. When submitting a bug report, please give as much information as you can. If possible, also include a download link to any trouble files your dealing with. That is optional though.

Yup, bugs acknowledged. Ideally we'll have all of these fixed for v0.74b.

I can&#039;t open new version at all. It just closes itself before it even shows up. How to fix that?

Do you have .NET 4.5.1? We had to upgrade it for the updater to work.
You could also try running it in compatibility mode or by launching it a different way (like instead of clicking the exe, instead try assigning the new BB to an extension like brres and launching it like that) just to see if that works.

When I click the update thing it downloads and update and makes the directory "currentfolder"/v0.74 which then contains all the files I already had in the "currentfolder" + the update it download, which I can install again if I want and if I hit the update thing again it repeats this infinitely.

There isn't an update at the moment, so that's probs why it's looping infinitely.

What's your OS? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit? Do you have .NET 4.5.1? What's your computer's locale (language)? Also, right click the exe, go to Properties->Details and double check that it says BrawlBox v0.74 and all that, just in case.

For now, you can just turn off automatic updates under Tools->Settings->"Check for updates on startup"

Also, when importing aimations from Marios Sports Mix, they show up as "CHR0" instead of their names, and as 0 frame animations

Can you send me the raw files before you open or import or whatevs so I can test them?

I can&#039;t save the settings in Windows 8, only if I run the program as administrator :/

There's nothing I can do about that. Every version of BrawlBox can't edit the registry on Windows 8 without admin privileges. The least I could do was put a helpful message.

oh i forgot to mention this bug... if a material/mesh is using more than 1 texture, and u hide the first texture, no other texture shows, which just becomes a texture-less model in model viewer.

Do you have .NET 4.5.1? We had to upgrade it for the updater to work.
You could also try running it in compatibility mode or by launching it a different way (like instead of clicking the exe, instead try assigning the new BB to an extension like brres and launching it like that) just to see if that works.
I have only 4.1 and wouldn't it report that i need new version?
This one didn't worked either.

I figured it out. It doesn't like the shader from the semi-transparent model. Material works fine and textures corrupted in-game, but when I import the damn shader and hit save, BB crashes.

does ur BB crash, or does it give an error?

Just crashing. I did "Add New Shader", replaced it with the shader from the alpha texture, and hit save. All I did.

what i did was add a new shader, linked said material (that will be replaced) to the shader, then i hit save. re-opened the model and replace shader and material and saved fine.

try doing it like that.

Crashing... no backtraces.
I don't know how to debug with M$ .NET, but if you have mono installed on your computer, run this command from the command line:
mono /path/to/brawlbox.exe --debug
, and crash BrawlBox, a backtrace will be printed in the console with line numbers, function names etc (if there are debug symbols in the executable). This will help the developers of BrawlBox track down the problem.

By the way, this is how I found out what was causing BrawlBox to crash on Macs.

https://github.com/libertyernie/brawltools/tree/DebugLog

This is a branch i was working on before the release. It's just a debug output console when BBox is started with -d or /d. Hopefully in the future it will help us debug things, and others see exactly where the problem is. Right now, there isn't any backtraces. Just event printouts. But backtraces will definitely be printed to the log in red when things are more complete

Not entirely sure where it is stored specifically. Im also not too sure if everything 100% works right yet. Though i see no reason it shouldn't, since files are being rebuilt exactly the way they should be. In any case, i think the sudden death mode items are spawned from a group in the common table contained in common3. under itmCommonGen/item Generation/table[0]/group[4] if i remember correctly

So I went to start using .74 for animating, and when I went to view an animation... Well, I'll let the pictures tell what happened.
([url]http://i.imgur.com/y075tJg.gif[/url])
When it originally was like this
([url]http://i.imgur.com/XfgtOqG.gif[/url])
In .71. Any ideas?


Fixed

also, I am using Windows 8.1, but someone it always resize itself to smaller and gives me bad font. how do I prevent this for happen? o:

Try this
On my laptop (Windows 8.1) with its high-DPI display, viewing any model - whether in the model previewer or the bottom-right panel of the main window - causes the program window to shrink to 1:1 pixel size. This can be avoided by disabling DPI scaling in Properties > Compatibility for BrawlBox.exe.


Also, when importing aimations from Marios Sports Mix, they show up as "CHR0" instead of their names, and as 0 frame animations

Fixed

The vertex editor is gone as well. When I press the J key, the bottom panel closes instead of switching to the vertex editor.

Fixed

I can't open new version at all. It just closes itself before it even shows up. How to fix that?

Not fixed, I have no idea

When I click the update thing it downloads and update and makes the directory "currentfolder"/v0.74 which then contains all the files I already had in the "currentfolder" + the update it download, which I can install again if I want and if I hit the update thing again it repeats this infinitely.

Do you have any idea why it's asking you to update when there is no update?

When using the newest version all of my LZ77/ExtendedLZ77 compressed archives are displayed as uncompressed even though they actually are compressed.

Fixed

Is there a way to make it so semi-transparencies can be added without crashing BB? Not really a request, more like wondering for convenience.

Just crashing. I did "Add New Shader", replaced it with the shader from the alpha texture, and hit save. All I did.

Can't really seem to reproduce this, so... not fixed? Saving an unlinked default shader works, saving an unlinked replaced shader works, saving a linked default shader works, saving a replaced linked shader works...

Did it work in the most recent version?

oh i forgot to mention this bug... if a material/mesh is using more than 1 texture, and u hide the first texture, no other texture shows, which just becomes a texture-less model in model viewer.

Well the textureless thing isn't a bug, but I get what you mean. Brawlbox only loads the first texture because it really needs to render shaders to display ALL of them at once, but I think I can have it show the next texture if the disable the first.

You also mentioned adding bone checkboxes back, so there's that too.



These changes will be in the next update, by the way.

I agree that there does need to be a code into the program to render the shaders used in the shaders section along with the materials so that we can preview the one's that will be used in the game when it's edited.

There isn't an update at the moment, so that's probs why it's looping infinitely.

What's your OS? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit? Do you have .NET 4.5.1? What's your computer's locale (language)? Also, right click the exe, go to Properties->Details and double check that it says BrawlBox v0.74 and all that, just in case.

For now, you can just turn off automatic updates under Tools->Settings->"Check for updates on startup" 

Windows 7 Pro SP1 64bit, looks like I have .NET 4.5.50709. English is the language. It does says 0.74 in the properties so that checks out to.

i was looking into the PM codes trying to help a team with BeX + 3.5 and thought about a feature that might be relatively easy with the code manager. i'll quote the post here:

its coming...  its not really hard its just tedius. would be easier if there was a way to set brawlbox to read codes with multiple values so it doesn't read it as an entirely new code (things like default settings modifier wich anyone can change) maybe i can suggest it later to the BB team. basically i have to fine codes one at a time. basically the codes i have to find are set up as stated in a previous post so the values look like this:

06586??? 000000??
????????? ?????????
????????? ?????????

the only numbers that matter are the ones listed, the (?) can be any value. the lower 2 rows are being a bit more difficult however. since those directly affect the costumes and order and can be randomely 2 or 3 rows depending on how many were added. total. after those first digets i have to find the "0C" wich basically means the costumes end for that character.

basically if any value's change in the remembered codes it is considered an entirely new code. it would be nice if you can set it to a "wild card" or something to that effect to allow random values and changes easier. (like if you have one gct with default settings 4 lives, and another set as  lives, it would read it as the same code with an edited value.) maybe you can set the wildcards as green/blue etc to make it show a little in a code? tho that is juct an aesthetic touch"

BlackJax separated the moveset editor from BrawlBox, as it was rather unstable. Though I don't know 100% why.

His alternative was a program he named Ikarus (Ikaros + Icarus). Though BJ retired before he was able to finish it (early 2014), but now that it's been payed off by namq and pikazz (late 2014/early 2015), Ikarus will at least be in a stable state, as stated by his previous posts.

BrawlBox v0.74b is coming soon, probably later tonight or tomorrow. It's mainly bug fixes and will be the first time the updater will come into play, so we'll see how that goes.

We have v0.74c planned as well.

I don't know 100% why

BrawlBox's model editor code started to become convoluted with Brawl-specific code and a moveset editor really needs dedicated controls and options as well, so that's why I moved it out.

Okay, I cannot see any bones or distinguish between them now. It was showing up before in the model viewer nicely as usual, but unusually, when I check them off and back on, they did not reappear. It seems like they are hidden because I can still select them and move the according model via the selected bone. Here's the kicker, though. The bones are on, and all bones are checked on, yet they are still missing for some reason. What did/do I do? If anyone needs proof, I'll provide.

Hi, I'm getting a really frustrating error when trying to open BrawlBox.

Whenever I double-click the BrawlBox executable, I immediately get a Windows error message saying the program stopped responding. The same thing happens if I try to open the program as an administrator. The updater has the same problem.

My computer runs on Windows Vista, if that helps.


Title: Re: BrawlBox 0.74b
Post by: Power Marshall on January 18, 2015, 09:07:50 PM
I will say it is not too big of an issue, because I can just use other versions, and Blackjax, I hate to keep bringing up bugs, especially when you're one of the ones repeatedly fixing them up. There's a couple bugs I'd like to report for Brawlbox 0.74b.

In the model viewer, when editing animations, it seems copying and then pasting translations seem to crash the program. Ex: If you wanted to give a character another's animation, but the bones were not the character's original position so you copy the character's T-posed bone translation, and pasted for frame 1 of the new animation, brawl box will give out an error and stop working.

As for the second error, it seems I can't save my animations that I've worked on in the new Brawlbox. I believe that whenever I work on an animation for a character in the model viewer, and then save, it will crashes and I lose all my work. I don't know if anyone can back me up on this lol, but it appears like this is the case every time I do this.

not the only 1.. i created an srt0 and did an animation for it to help KJP out, and when i tried to save, it wouldnt save and gave an error, but no crash. after deleting said SRT0, it saved fine.

I especially hate not being able to help out very much with the current bugs, but most if not all are related to the model previewer, and that's just a whole lotta funk that i have no idea how to work if, especially now after the rewrites lol. In other news, i was working on a few new cool features regarding modules and such, but due to a recent computer re-formatting, i lost it all...guess i'll be rewriting all that junk :P

You're right, it didn't crash, it just gave out an error, so essentially, you couldn't save your new work. :/

Oh yes, Sami, you're another one working on Brawlbox? That's why I said that BlackJax was one of the ones fixing it. But that stinks. Speaking of Modules, I had opened up the module of pokemon trainer (fitpoke.rel), and can now see where Charizard starts and where Ivy and Squirtle begin their file location, however, if you export one of their files, it says that the file is empty, but will still export. And when importing them into someone else's, it gives an error. I'm sure it's a generalization for all rels (at least, characters') but can this be fixed, or is this in the next version? Thanks, Sami, and Blackjax!

Still wanting that software render mode for the model viewer.

#poor

Also some mice won't work at all with the model viewer, but I think it's just limited to those with wonky drivers, such as my ThinkPoint (a laptop driver), and limited to just scrolling.

I'm trying to import a model and boneset from Sonic Lost World, but it won't do so. It's high-poly, but not for Brawl anyways. It's for 2.5D sprite making. What's going on? I get a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error with tristripping and the program crashes without tristripping.

I had that same

error when trying to import models from Blender, so is that what you were trying to do?
Because, without Autodesk's FBX Converter program, you can't import .daes from Blender, and even then, it still doesn't seem to like working in-game.(Though, in BrawlBox it works fine, with the exception of importing only one texture mapping the entire model and the rest are deleted.)

Nope, I don't use Blender. I've used 3ds the whole time.

Not sure what the exact problem is, but what "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" means is that it's trying to reference an object that doesn't exist. I don't know how that could be applied to model imports, only to programming, so I can't be of further assistance than that basic info.

Send over the dae of the model you're trying to import.
Also, are you using v0.74b to import it?

Hi, I'm getting a really frustrating error when trying to open BrawlBox.

Whenever I double-click the BrawlBox executable, I immediately get a Windows error message saying the program stopped responding. The same thing happens if I try to open the program as an administrator. The updater has the same problem.

My computer runs on Windows Vista, if that helps.

Windows Vista is pretty iffy. Lots of talk about compatibility and such goes straight from XP to Win7. Do you have .NET 4.5?

Brawlbox doesn't seem to like it when I copy and paste frames:

I will say it is not too big of an issue, because I can just use other versions, and Blackjax, I hate to keep bringing up bugs, especially when you're one of the ones repeatedly fixing them up. There's a couple bugs I'd like to report for Brawlbox 0.74b.

In the model viewer, when editing animations, it seems copying and then pasting translations seem to crash the program. Ex: If you wanted to give a character another's animation, but the bones were not the character's original position so you copy the character's T-posed bone translation, and pasted for frame 1 of the new animation, brawl box will give out an error and stop working.

As for the second error, it seems I can't save my animations that I've worked on in the new Brawlbox. I believe that whenever I work on an animation for a character in the model viewer, and then save, it will crashes and I lose all my work. I don't know if anyone can back me up on this lol, but it appears like this is the case every time I do this.

Fixed both bugs for v0.74c, thanks for reporting them (especially with the call stack).

Okay, I cannot see any bones or distinguish between them now. It was showing up before in the model viewer nicely as usual, but unusually, when I check them off and back on, they did not reappear. It seems like they are hidden because I can still select them and move the according model via the selected bone. Here's the kicker, though. The bones are on, and all bones are checked on, yet they are still missing for some reason. What did/do I do? If anyone needs proof, I'll provide.

Fixed this, thanks.

Also some mice won't work at all with the model viewer, but I think it's just limited to those with wonky drivers, such as my ThinkPoint (a laptop driver), and limited to just scrolling.

That's odd. The model viewer just uses the MouseMove event that windows calls every time you move the mouse, so I'm not sure what to do there.

Still wanting that software render mode for the model viewer.

#poor

I do too, but it's so much work ;-;

Send over the dae of the model you're trying to import.
Also, are you using v0.74b to import it?

Okay. But RTB ripped it so I assumed it was good.

And yes, I used that one, and tried with 0.73 too.

is there a details button on the error window

That's normal.

I removed color nodes from being default to save file space and ease GPU load in-game. It takes up way more file space being there with only one color entry than not.

Having a color node for all objects means that the color entries are stored PER FACEPOINT for those objects, which means there's one extra byte per point of every triangle/tristrip.

For example, if your model has 1,000 faces (no tristrips for the sake of the example), that's 3,000 total points (3 per triangle), so that means there's a 3,000 extra bytes that are referring to the exact same color value.

That's redundant and unnecessary, so instead of storing it like that per vertex, I store it via register in each material's "Material Color" value under Light Channel 1 by default. This way the game reads it as "apply this color to the whole object this material is applied to".

its actually still there... u just have that setting turned off during importing.

Just because that's how it used to be doesn't mean you should do it still. It's not efficient.
The only reason you should have color nodes is if you need to apply different colors to individual vertices.

For example, if your model has 1,000 faces (no tristrips for the sake of the example), that's 3,000 total points (3 per triangle), so that means there's a 3,000 extra bytes that are referring to the exact same color value.

That's redundant and unnecessary, so instead of storing it like that per vertex, I store it via register in each material's "Material Color" value under Light Channel 1 by default. This way the game reads it as "apply this color to the whole object this material is applied to".
alright, was just checking cause it was there in the other versions and then it wasn't. thanks

What specific changes are you trying to make? You'll have to send me the RSAR so I can debug it, too. I don't work for free anymore but if the bug fix is simple enough I'll fix it for free.

Well, if it's too complicated, we'd rather leave it as it is, it's not that important I guess.

Basically I just want to edit Voices/Sound effects like in Mario Kart Wii, Brawl etc., where it works fine. For example, selecting a RBNK, and editing one of the Wav's included. Replacing them works fine, just saving the .brsar doesn't work.


By the way, I found an exception text from using an older version (Brawl Box 0.71):

It never runs? sounds like outdated .net framework or something. The real deal is that we upgraded the .net framework that bbox uses to 4.5, (which makes XP unsupported.) If you can't open in win7, that's the only thing i can think of at the moment that would cause it.

Also, don't bother reporting bugs if you're not using the most recent version. We make changes and fixes to all sorts of random stuff in every update.

Oh yeah, I fixed all the bugs, thanks. I forgot to tell you.
It imports fine now but the model itself needs some fixes.

It doesn't seem like a material issue actually, it does seem like an issue with culling. It's like the head outline is culled one way and the rest is culled the other. I'm not talking about material culling, I'm talking about the actual object's facepoint order per face.

The weird part is that a problem like that would display in BrawlBox. You're gonna have to test it by making a copy of the outline material PER object. Don't assign all the objects to one material. Then try changing the culling on each separate material. Another thing you can try to do is reoptimize the object and check "Force CCW".

Also, you don't need UVs, colors or normals on any of those outline objects, nor a texture. Set the outline material's Light Channel 1 material color to black, change the material color source to register, and remove the texture reference. I think Brawlbox allows you to delete the UV and color references from the object. If not, I'll see if I can make sure it's working for the next release. I'll also add support for deleting the normal reference.

I took a look at the model but I didn't see anything wrong right off the bat and I don't have time to test any changes atm, so it's up to you or somebody else to fix it.

ITS strange, but on every model that i import on the newest version of brawl box i get a totally black model in game(any model witouth outline), even if i replace the shader, maybe i dont have settings good, or i m texturizing on 3dmax bad, but im apliyng the same textures.

this are mmy settings

Anyway, I just didn't realize that the Release build settings weren't set to AnyCPU with "Prefer 32 bit" set to true.

BrawlLib, however, still uses framework 4.0 so that it's still supported on XP (even though BrawlBox isn't). Because of that, I can't check "Prefer 32-bit", and I'm not sure if that will affect anything. We'll see how it goes when it's released.

because this: https://github.com/pycollada/pycollada
(I'm using this with UMC and need to test an import)

thanks

DAE 1.5.0:
Code:
importing FitPikachu00.dae 100%
Converting from import format...
[]
Verifying data...
Finalizing...
Updating Viewer

so Pikachu has 0 meshes as displayed

you can thank the dumb who wanted 1.5.0 support for whatever. :rage:
(you won't be able to import in UMC for a while)

or you can hound on the pycollada devs for 1.5.0 support XD

v068d exports fine, but you need to edit the namespace to use the 1.4 schema:
Code:
<COLLADA version="1.4.1" xmlns="http://www.collada.org/2005/11/COLLADASchema">

1.5: http://www.collada.org/2008/03/COLLADASchema (http://www.collada.org/2008/03/COLLADASchema) (exported by v0.68d)
1.4: http://www.collada.org/2005/11/COLLADASchema (http://www.collada.org/2005/11/COLLADASchema)

I'm sick of this garbage.
anything above XP sucks, and I DON'T test my developments on anything newer than XP.
(I know too much about MS's BS garbage to do so, and am utterly sick of it)

either stick with XP or get linux because you're literally not safer on anything newer.
(MS-RAT or not, anything newer has lower security, especially if it's supplied by MS)

no joke, you're safer sticking to XP.
F MS support.
if you use XP, use Comodo AV which offers the best free protection I know of (better than Avast).
and for your browser, use Comodo Dragon (safer than Chromium which is the safest browser).
make sure to install blockers for ads, trackers, JS, images, and other stuff...
I use these: (yes, these are all free)
-AdBlock
-AdBlock Plus
-AdBlock Pro
-AdGuard
-PrivDog (Dragon only)
-Ghostery
-Diconnect
-AVG Do Not Track
-Avast (reports infected sites)
-Netcraft
and for information on untrusted links:
-Web of Trust

no more trash, MS doesn't deserve the credit for the crap they're shoveling out.
(MS doesn't care about their users, they care about the money they make from them, and thus shovel out complete crap to do so.)

if you want to get linux, if you don't want to go in too deep, get Zorin, but if you want more customizability, get Xubuntu. ;)

EDIT:
btw, if you want to speed up chrome/chromium/dragon, disable some of google's sync services such as passwords and history.
(passwords don't work anyways between compys or sessions, so no big deal there) :P

getting back to BrawlBox now, I take it nobody knows which version last supported DAE 1.4.1??

EDIT:
I'll just see if I can find an alternative to the "await" keyword in a later release, that's the only thing that we need .NET 4.5.1 for in the BrawlBox application anyway. That won't fix the updater, but at least you'll be able to use BrawlBox itself.
that's not supported by XP BJ...
sorry but you need to use things everyone can use.

I think you'll even cause issues for linux users if you do that :/

v0.69, it's right there in the changelog. I'm editing it right now, so I just searched for "1.5" to find the release that included that update and then told you the release version before that. Simple stuff m8.

Nah, only the updater won't be supported.
I'll be able to downgrade BrawlBox itself back down to NET 4.0, which supports XP.
BrawlLib was never upgraded, so no problems there.

Remember when i was working to try and separate the asynchronous functionality from BBox and brawllib a while ago? That was why lulz. The only issue your going to have is that you'll have to make a separate process call for the updater. I...can actually get to work on fixing that right now... why am i talking about instead of doing it..

sorry but you need to use things everyone can use. Anyways..

I think you'll even cause issues for linux users if you do that :/
I would prefer we keep XP support if at all possible as well, but for the sake of not just your sanity, but the relevancy of this thread as well, lets try to keep opinions about OS's to ourselves. The only purpose it serves in this thread is to cause drama and/or derail. Also, (personally) if i absolutely have to choose between supporting XP and bringing the best possible experience to the most users, i will most certainly choose the latter. But again, if i can help it, i won't have to choose at all.

The update system is incredibly important as it stands because with all the rewrites being done, many people can't afford to monitor this thread to look for updates and such. The updater will notify everyone of new versions and allows us to pump out fixes and versions super duper fast. (it will also still reach them to update even if KC:MM is down).

That being said, that's just my opinion on the matter. Can't say much for the other devs. If you're that worried about it, you could always take it upon yourself to be the BBox "XP guru" and handle all the xp related deeds. It is open source afterall. Though i think i remember you saying in the past that you won't use / dedicate time to learning C# or something to that effect.

LOL yup.
I left you a comment in this commit (https://github.com/libertyernie/brawltools/commit/c93fb5866096e2d5e7dda92146c6077caffc60fa), although you probably have the same idea. :P

I'm working on getting v0.75 out tonight btw, I think it's in a good stable spot right now and it's been a while since the last release. There are also some critical bug fixes people have been waiting for.

Right. I'll see if i can get the updater working correctly to fix XP support in time! :P That's be pretty coolio. Oh, i may see about adding sm4sh stuff, including the moveset file stuff...but endian independent code can become..complex. We'll see ;)

Can't buy Windows 8.1? Go install Debian, you can run BrawlBox via Wine. (Wine compatibility is getting better and better that I can actually use it!)

Anyway, I'll submit a pull request to make sure mcs can compile the source files properly (if there is any problems)

indeed
just make sure you install the latest wine and not wine 1.6 :P

but for the sake of not just your sanity

lol thanks, but don't worry about my sanity ;)
I may blow my brains out over MS's stupidity, but at least I push in the right direction :)

only if you'll pay me back with working on these with me: ;)
-both versions of UMC (3.0a and 3.0)
-UMC_SIDE (a fully interactive and intuitive IDE for teaching noobs (complete non-coders) to build UMC-scripts)
-UMCSL (my recompilation language for translating executable byte-code between machines and actual code)

yes I know UMC scripts were already designed to be easy to write, but it can only get so easy before I have to start dropping interface support to get any easier.

I already have a fully automated and interruptable state engine like OpenGL's FFP (dual-buffered in 3.0) and my own file system (with pointer support in 3.0)

so UMC_SIDE is built to take care of the learning gap with more features and better intellisense than merging VS2010 with Aptana.
and later on, hope to implement collaborative support.
(I'm a big fan of real-time (synced) development)

EDIT: forgot to mention this :P
(personally) if i absolutely have to choose between supporting XP and bringing the best possible experience to the most users, i will most certainly choose the latter. But again, if i can help it, i won't have to choose at all.

que commercial: Why can't we have both?
XD


hey tbh, that's one reason why I program in python.
it's just as cross-platform as Java ;)

I hate 3rd party libraries, which is one reason I choose PyOpenGL over pyglet.
this means even more low-end cross platform support than using something like .NET aka IronPython
(IronPython sucks, don't ever use it)
^ Python already has a garbage collector, it doesn't need .NET :P

I got 1 major bug.

not sure about any other characters but after importing with the latest BB link acts up with in game animations. he looks and acts fine with the animations in BB though. got some pics of the problem

(http://i.imgur.com/XAe02AQ.png)
this is how he runs

(http://i.imgur.com/iMyV9OI.png)
this is his wait animation

when in the air he kinda looks like a ragdoll. he kicks his feet around randomly. I can send you the model if it will help solve the problem. I imported the same dae into another version of BB and did not get the same problem.

other than that problem the new BB is great, love the added viewpoints feature

yeah, I don't look for bugs. I only notice stuff if it's noticeable.

for viewpoints I just drag the viewpoint off screen. click and drag the visible line, you can still add and/or re-add after that

lol

I just so happen to be working on something btw using pyglfw with pyopengl ;3
I don't have a good name for it yet, but it'll have everything nintedo seems to be forgetting about that makes smash memorable and overall epic. :)
(with my own twists to promote epicness with fair-play of course)
^ cheapness is bad and you will be punished with a lower score (can hurt your chances of winning the game)

argue with me about competitive play all you want, I wanna see tourneys promote this method ;)

basically, I'm a fan of TAS battles and I try to fight like so :)
(I know what TAS means, but now actually try fighting like that and being epic while doing it)
^ that will get you the highest scores in my game IF you can pull it off :)

Smash TV Announcer: GOOD LUCK! You'll need it!

Yeah you just drag it so that it&#039;s not really visible anymore and it will automatically remove it

I hope that wasn't sarcasm. :P Cuz you know, not everyone is able to code 3D engines. I don't know enough about them. Even the 2D stuff, I'm just picking up and applying logic and common sense.

it wasn't :)
I honestly dislike 2D, and tbh, 3D isn't much different from 2D ;)
the only hard part is learning matrices and optionally integrating with GLSL.

and don't worry about learning stuff on your own, I'll be a first hand person to hijack BJ's thread and teach everyone 3D if that's what they want. :3
lol
(I actually have fun helping people like that)

also, screw using a game engine, seriousely :/
it's better if you actually write your own game and structure it w/o an engine.
but to do that, you need to understand object orientation, which can be difficult to learn :/
I can help with that too ;)

hey I'm no pro game developer, and I learned what I know just about on my own as well.
Ian Mallet taught me alot about OpenGL, but I've figured out more than what he's taught.
I built my own transparent GUI widget system entirely with OpenGL's FFP not using the GL-Feedback buffer.

but yea, if you want to learn some cool tricks and such, just ask, and I'll be happy to clarify. ;)
(unlike alot of others who would hardly teach me crap)

basic 3D programming is actually very easy.
it's basically the same thing as placing down blocks in minecraft, except the blocks connect to each other via lines that form faces with texures ;)

Eular's system is extremely easy to understand ;)

I have a bug to report. I saved my common5.pac after changing a csp and when I went in game the character select screen wouldn't load up. After opening my common5 back up I saw that the compressions on all of the items said None and attempting to access the sc_selcharacter would crash Brawlbox.

When I reverted back to 0.74b the problem didn't happen anymore so it's probably a problem with the latest update. Just thought I would let you know.

Working on a bug reporting system to go along with the updater changes. By the end of them, we should have XP support back. As well as an issue submision function on github when the app crashes (and a bug of the same title does not already exist). That way people don't have to report bugs here, or make an account on git to report them either. Simple, easy peasy :)

Haha well I don't know if I would call it much easier yet, but it's getting there. Most of the big changes for module editing in Brawlbox so far have been speed optimizations. I had to completely redo the code that stores information for every 4 bytes in a section because the previous method was using a class for EVERY SINGLE 4 BYTES in a section, even for every separate method node, which in turn took up a [censored] ton of memory. That kind of code was easier to program with, but extremely inefficient. Now it only stores data as necessary.

There anything you can't do, dude?

If I want to do something... I will. (http://i.imgur.com/sGBOR.png)

What happens when you try and open it? Normally if it just won't start up it means your using an outdated .net framework, or are on XP. Working on fixing the .Net 4.5 requirement, but until then i would check your .net version.

I know that in previous brawlboxes, when you preview all models, you could hide all of them, and then show some back. This one doesn't do that (or is there a different way). I hide all, but can't bring back some; it brings back all.


Title: Re: BrawlBox 0.75b
Post by: windhunter7 on March 08, 2015, 11:35:13 AM
I dunno what you're talking about; I have version .67b, which is old compared to newer ones, and if I, for example, hide and then unhide the checkbox for all for Pit's polygons, it brings back all of them instead of some of them.

Besides which, you can always just look at the ones that are defaultly hidden(For example, Pit's shield polygon), and then just hide that after unhiding "All"


Title: Re: BrawlBox 0.75b
Post by: Power Marshall on March 08, 2015, 03:11:31 PM
Sorry for confusion. I'll try to explain.

For example: I open up the pac file for the main menu. Then I click "preview all models," and ALL the models are opened. In the latest 0.75b version, clicking on polygons removes all polygons, so nothing is there. In older versions like .71 or .73, clicking on polygons only hides the selected model. Is there a way to do this in .75b? Thanks.


Title: Re: BrawlBox 0.75b
Post by: BlackJax96 on March 08, 2015, 03:29:40 PM
It's because those display settings are stored per viewport now, not per model. If they were still stored per model, then for example, the model would be hidden in all viewports.

I can see how this would be an issue trying to view vertices or wireframe or something for only one model at a time, but for hiding or showing all objects for only one model you can just click the "All" checkbox under the objects list for that model.

[...]but for hiding or showing all objects for only one model you can just click the "All" checkbox under the objects list for that model.

That's why I asked. I just wanted a way to preview all, but able to turn all polygons/bones/vertices off, and then turn certain ones back on, instead of manually turning the majority off first.

I would use previous versions, but those seem mess with Anim files, causing animations that loop to not loop or ones that shouldn't loop, to loop. That's why I asked.

Found an error with the latest version. I made my Lord Fredrik rig and while rotating a bone to test it, as soon as I let go the program throws an index out of range error. When I dismiss the error the bone keeps rotating when I let go of the left mouse button and when I try to click and let go, it keeps throwing the error till I quit. Wondering if my import was at fault, I tried it again on a clean Ike model. Same result. :(

Brawlbox still gives an error when trying to save animations after editing. It'll give an error once, then you can save like normal. However, if you check back to (reopen) the animations, it's unchanged from how it was before.

Can't get this one to happen either. It has to do with undo and redo though which is buggy AF, so I'll just put a ton of error checks in there so no errors are thrown.

Hi, I haven't messed with Brawl for a while, and I figured I would try it out again. I started by updating my Brawlbox version from 0.71 to 0.75b. The model viewer doesn't seem to be working for me to any extent.
I apologize if anyone mentioned a similar issue earlier in the thread:
(http://i.imgur.com/F670myb.png)
I'm running Windows 7 (64-bit), and my .NET framework is up to date.
I wanted to update because I remembered 0.71 having some issue where it would screw up the shaders on imports (I don't quite remember how to fix it, either). Sorry in advanced if this isn't the right place to post this.

If any of you guys can't open the model viewer anymore, can you do me a favor and test out each version of BrawlBox and find out specifically which version it stops working in?

Right click a collision node and choose Preview.

About this, I tried rewriting the code and I think I accidentally fixed undo/redo altogether. I couldn't get it to throw any errors anymore, so there's that.

why?
apparently I'm not supplying the proper weights to UMC at all times:

^yes, I know it worked before, but my new system is now pointing out the flaws in the weight data I'm suplying

so I just need some help re-understanding the binding definitions and how the facepoints reference them.

the current documentation I can find doesn't reference them and C# is too messy for me to understand alone.

One would be to import it into a program like 3DS Max and apply the shaders or whatnot, then make an image of it, with making the background one color; and the other would be to use Bin2Jpg with the character on a stage that is nothing but a pure color, with a program that can isolate the picture from that color(I know I have a program that can do that within a few clicks); in either case, he could've then copied in MS Paint into another .bmp containing snapshots of BrawlBox's viewport with a character that has all its ppolygons disabled, and uncheck "Draw Opaque", position properly, and, presto! Same results!!!

I think the latest is pretty stable (imho compared to previous versions). Always use the latest version if you're going to report a bug, anyway.

I didn't use 3ds Max rendering or ms paint or bin2jpg or anything, I just made a perfect replica of Brawlbox's model viewer as a stage, used some codes to allow no fighters and no camera boundaries (for the stage pictures), and used dolphin so I could use any window aspect ratio with widescreen hack and capture an HD picture with F9 as if it was taken in Brawlbox. For the characters in T-Pose, I just deleted all the keyframes in Wait1 and pasted the bind state on frame 1.

I want that stage, since it would be to good use :'3

using BB .75b i think i found a crash. i've been working with the BeX files and was trying to add the correct files to the common5 for it, it keeps crashing every time i try to save, and only after replacing MenSelchrPos_TopN.chr/mdl0. the program just stops working all together.

Just an update, i used BB .71 and it worked fine. so for sure 75b crashes.

There is a nasty bug with the vertex editor. if you use it AT ALL and then save your model, the next time you reload the model it will crash brawlbox upon trying to preview the model.
The older brawlbox versions never did this before.

Hey not sure if anyone here can help me out, I was told to try seeking help here. I've been trying to make a mod for Roy in project m where he's wearing a recolored version of Ike's hector armor from project M. I original would import the armor into the Roy model via brawlbox only, but because the armor was for a designed for Ike instead of Roy, it messes up Roy's animations and even crashes the game when ever I start a match as Roy. If theres something I have to do in 3ds max, what would that be?


Title: Re: BrawlBox 0.75b
Post by: Ricky (Br3) on May 01, 2015, 11:57:52 AM
You'd have to import Ike's armor polygons into 3DSMax and rig them to Roy's bones.

New additions are great, but i have one thing to complain about - you can no longer view animation for only one model (as far as i know) and you can't copy and paste bone rotations and stuff on the model outside of animations, something that is rather uncomfortable at least for me. But thats it. Oh, and models sometimes have parts missing or just somehow get behind other models even though its not how it is.

Yes you can and yes you can, just tested it myself.
Make sure that Target Model -> Edit All is unchecked for the first one.

The third thing probably means your draw order is wrong. The draw priority of each object, whether the object is XLU or OPA, the order of files loaded, the order of materials, etc all can affect the order in which things are drawn. Everything actually matters for the display now.

What GPUs do you guys have?
This *shouldn't* be a problem with your operating system.

Shaders run on the GPU (graphics card), so you might have a GPU that can't handle the generated shader code properly. I used GLSL version 120 (one of the oldest versions of OpenGL's shader language) for the most compatibility and the program does check to make sure you have the necessary drivers, so it's most likely a GPU problem. An older GPU or CPU integrated graphics (when you have no graphics card at all) would be the most likely culprit.

I can't test it right now but did you fix the vertex editor problem I mentioned?

It was not checked.
How? When i try to do it, all options for Transform All can no longer be used. I can rotate each bone on its own, but that takes a while. Its been like this since v0.75. Its just fine in v0.71 and below.

I believe that you can rotate/transform the TransN bone and that will rotate/translate the entire model. I know it does it with the actual polygons of the character, but I dunno if it also does it with the grabbing bones and such.

I really don't know why the same code would work correctly on one computer but not another if you have the correct NET version and all that. What's your computer's specs? Do you have .NET 4.5? What exactly do you do to encounter the problem (list the steps you take to get there).

I get this as well. When I unclick Edit All under Target Model, it doesn&#039;t do it anymore.


Are the models in the same file or different files? I can open two character model files and two animation files (4 files total - use the Files manager on the right panel, use the dropdown) and Edit All unchecked works as expected.




Also I just want to point out that I'm completely done with BrawlBox now. I'm not going to fix or add anything or even look at the code anymore. I'll probably release an unstable version later with every feature I haven't finished enabled so you can try them out (a model rig editor, UV map exporter, better interpolation editor, and VERY MINOR Gamecube and Wii U support mainly), but I'm done now. I know I said I was "retired" a year ago or something so this is probably hard to believe but I really mean it now. I'm going to start asserting that declaration. :L

Out with a bang, they say.

...er...its in Russian. Don't know how to translate all of the stuff that is listed there.
Yes, i have it.
If you mean weird viewing order, then i just load few models (depends on how complex) and one of the other models gets glitched. If you mean being unable to use Transform All buttons, then its always like this unless im previewing an animation. But when i get out of it (btw, i can't close animations loaded anymore like it was possible before), they all get disabled.


Title: Re: BrawlBox 0.75b
Post by: BlackJax96 on May 20, 2015, 05:39:24 PM
You have to use the files manager to unload external files. It's in the right panel, use the dropdown.

The transform all section is disabled without an animation selected. But if you select an animation and go to any frame INCLUDING frame 0, it isn't disabled. Which makes sense, because there's no point copying a frame state without an animation anyway.

it hangs forever when trying to exit the model viewer.

I'll upload a quick hotfix for that since it seems just a TAD BIT CRIPPLING.

Didn't noticed that.
Well, there is point in doing so - its a very easy way to make custom trophies if done correctly. And just for some stuff that doesn't has much use in Brawl modding, but still...eh, whatever.

I have this problem too. Its not on every model though. Those that i am sure have this bug are SJS' ZSS, Ike, Pit, Giga Bowser, adolescent and adult Ridley models from Other M. Gallery of that on imgur as a proof:
http://imgur.com/a/GukQs (http://imgur.com/a/GukQs)
There is no rimlighting on Pit and Giga Bowser shown here. Its just a transparency issue or something. Ridley's wings are supposed to be transparent in few places too, but they are not. Yes, im using 2 models that are not from Brawl, but they work just fine in-game, just too dark.

There is another problem i encountered. After adding 2nd shader to the model, 2 of its polygons suddenly started using it when previewed (i am sure about it since this 2nd shader is set in such way that it makes polygon always have same brightness as if it is glowing in the dark and when i set lighting settings in the preview to 0, those 2 polygons were not pitch black like everything else expect for eyes), but they still keep their original shader in the material settings. That most likely does not affects any in-game stuff, but making CSPs and checking how shaders and materials work is impossible like this. Im talking about this:
(http://i.imgur.com/qO1rEsn.png)

When would you need to edit .dol files? The changelog said you could open yet not edit or save.
Also I get an error when trying to add materials to a model. Is it thrown up because an error or is it just not implemented?

that there has been bothering me since BB 75.. anything below 75 doesnt do that.. which I come to the conclusion that i'll just stick with 73b due to materials not being funky in-game

I have this problem too. Its not on every model though. Those that i am sure have this bug are SJS' ZSS, Ike, Pit, Giga Bowser, adolescent and adult Ridley models from Other M. Gallery of that on imgur as a proof:
[url]http://imgur.com/a/GukQs[/url] ([url]http://imgur.com/a/GukQs[/url])
There is no rimlighting on Pit and Giga Bowser shown here. Its just a transparency issue or something. Ridley's wings are supposed to be transparent in few places too, but they are not. Yes, im using 2 models that are not from Brawl, but they work just fine in-game, just too dark.

There is another problem i encountered. After adding 2nd shader to the model, 2 of its polygons suddenly started using it when previewed (i am sure about it since this 2nd shader is set in such way that it makes polygon always have same brightness as if it is glowing in the dark and when i set lighting settings in the preview to 0, those 2 polygons were not pitch black like everything else expect for eyes), but they still keep their original shader in the material settings. That most likely does not affects any in-game stuff, but making CSPs and checking how shaders and materials work is impossible like this. Im talking about this:

Is anyone having this problem with Brawlbox v0.76?

([url]http://i.imgur.com/yMTBhmc.png[/url])


Your computer can't find gluniform, a function necessary to pass data to the shader. So since you don't have that, you don't have support for shaders.

BrawlBox should catch an incompatible OpenGL version, but I guess it didn't.

There's a problem with your rigging.

It matters because the GPU runs the fragment and vertex shaders that render the model on the screen, and it appears that most of you with odd problems are using a computer locale (not necessarily the display language) other than English.

I'm pretty sure I know why you guys are having rendering problems now, considering you're ALL not using an English locale apparently (which you can fix yourself, btw).

Unfortunately I'm not going to fix it, I quit.
But if somebody else wants to try, I'll guide you through it, haha. You guys need to learn to code anyway.

Post by: BlackJax96 on May 22, 2015, 10:43:53 PM
It's just a problem converting integers to strings because of your locale.
When shaders are activated, alpha test is done in the shader.
When they're not, it's not done in the shader.
Shaders are strings. That's the problem.

Also, I'm talking about GLSL shaders here, not MDL0 shaders.

Here's how you can change your locale to English (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-system-locale#1TC=windows-7)

btw, in case others are wondering, i haven't been around because LIFE stuff. Which for all intents and purposes rendered it impossible to work on anything.

EDIT: You all really should still learn to change your locale though, considering you may have issues like this in the future with other applications, games, etc. When having problems in future and you know your locale isn't english, that is one of the the first things you should check.

so basically, instead of making a program work on any language, you wanna force us all to change our pc's language?
seems kind of an odd development decission in my book...

isn't the only difference the "." and ",", im pretty sure in C# you gotta be able to check a system's locale, so it's only an if else situation.
if the issue is something else then idk.

The day .76 was released I was like "awe yeah a new brawlbox" I immediately downloaded it, before you had added the pictures. I opened up a Peach texture I had been working on (which I hadn't worked on in almost a month). I didn't notice anything unusual. Fast forward to later that day, I'm checking DSX8's thread and I see his comment about how awesome stages look in the new Brawlbox. I then decided that I would give this new update a second look... and my mind was blown. So that's the story about how I almost didn't know that shaders were now in Brawlbox when everyone else did.

P.S. In my defense Peach doesn't look that much different with shaders besides being brighter.

Just a question to anybody. When using the live texture folder with Photoshop elements, Photoshop has a tendency to say the file I'm trying to save over was "left open" or "in use". It's not with every texture and it's not all the time, but I thought It wouldn't hurt to ask if anyone else had this issue, or if you knew if it was something I could fix myself. Thanks!

If your model isn't showing up right at this point, it just means you don't have the materials and shaders set up properly. I tested the renderer pretty thoroughly with factory models.

Make sure you're passing the right alpha value to the OutputAlpha register in the eye's shader.

Make sure you're passing the right alpha value to the OutputAlpha register in the eye's shader.

Kk Thanks for the tip!

EDIT: Nope, no matter what I do, it absolutely refuses to render the eye. It seems to have trouble rendering multi-layered eyes.

there is something I would like to check:

who many have the problem that using Brawlbox built in printscreen turns pitch black? in earlier version all had a 50-50 chance of the pic is only the color black!
now in the new version its a 100% chance off all pics are black!
if anyone know how to fix it, I would lovely know

to those who have this problem and doesnt have, tell me where you are from and what computer specs you have!

So I tested the new BrawlBox on Roy with scaling vertices, and I ran into a problem. For the first test, I scaled just a single boot of his to the size of him, and the boot animated perfectly. For the second test, however, I pressed Ctrl+A and then resized the vertices of his entire character, and in-game he looks really weird and disfigured(Some polygons, like the sword or armor plate, which have only one bone for the polygon, look fine), INCLUDING his boots. So shouldn't either the boot in the first test be disfigured, or the boots in the second test look fine? Am I the only one experiencing this issue? Also, is it SUPPOSED to have no collision changes when you vertex a model? If not, how do you fix it? And is this problem that arose a bug to be fixed?


Title: Re: BrawlBox 0.76
Post by: Ricky (Br3) on June 04, 2015, 03:21:55 PM
Gotta be careful when vertexing. Are you sure you didn't scale the bone instead? That would definitely [censored] it up.

EDIT: I just re-read and I think I got what you mean this time. You attempted to vertex a character to make it bigger? That is a big NO. I don't think you're getting how vertexing works.


Title: Re: BrawlBox 0.76
Post by: windhunter7 on June 04, 2015, 03:29:46 PM
Yes I am sure. Wouldn't that have scaled the bones at all, making the collisions bigger than normal Roy's collisions, as that's what bigger bones would do? That's how rigs work to my knowledge. Also, I did the exact same thing for both tests; the only difference is that instead of dragging and dropping the cursor to select the vertices, I pressed Ctrl+A to select all of them. But that wouldn't change that, as you can only select either bones or vertices, and the vertices were highlighted when I was scaling him. Try it for yourself if you don't believe me by selecting using drag-and-drop instead of Ctrl+A.

So how do you make a character bigger, then? Can you do it by scaling the vertices of the Shd model?

Scaling bones isn't the same thing as scaling vertices. If you'd ever made a PSA (or just been aware that using the model itself for any collision in any game is extremely inefficient), you'd know that collision is dictated by collision bubbles in the PSA, not by the vertex positions. And ironically, your model "exploding" like that wasn't a glitch, it was just the proper display of how you edited the model. lmao

I hate sounding like a constant complainer...

But I can't seem to be able to add transparency / semi transparency to models using the proper mats and shaders. It just crashes BrawlBox 0.76 when I try to load them. Crash as in it quits. On the rare exception it just throws an exception. But it will not let me use them, even when exporting them with the same BB off another fighter. I'm trying to update an old import, but it has semi transparency and transparency and I seem to be a bit stuck.

Did it work in previous versions? Because you can always use multiple versions of BrawlBox for one character. I have 3; one for texturing(My common one), one for common vertexing(I haven't released any vertexes, though, but I've vertexed one of my textures a little bit), and then another version to scale and rotate vertices.(which I used when testing my failed theory with Roy as the test subject)

You can. That's still done through animations.

It's useless to just vertex the character if you want it bigger or smaller. They will still be bound to the rigged bones, who are all connected to the motion file (the bone animations).

Shd model is simply the loy-poly model of the shadow.

That, my friend, was a very smart move by Flygon. And how I would probably do it if I knew how to rig a character.

The model is rigged to an edited version of Ike's boneset, and not the original Ike's boneset. You will notice there is an specific bone used for the one-slot re-scaling. That means that, when an animation runs, every bone under that bone structure is already re-scaled, for every animation.

That is a fairly recent one slot resize technique. Usually people rig their characters to the original boneset, not an edited one... It's a really good idea, though. More people should do that.

The only difference between Ike's bones and the bones in Sir Lancelot's are that Flygon renamed the bone that controls Ikes teeth from "HaM" to "ADJs" and added the TransN bone tree to it. Now the reason that Sir Lance is smaller and has different range is because he is a one slot resize. If you look at the bone "ADJs" in Brawlbox you will notice that the scale is not (1.1.1) as Ike's "HaM" bone is instead it's (0.63.0.63.0.63). This is why he is smaller and most likely will work with Project M, because the bones haven't really change.

Ironically, I use that Ruto model over Zelda in PM, and it works fine. In fact, every single mod that's worked with Riivolution I've noticed works in PM, UNLESS it is larger in filesize than the original file.(e.g. my Robin recolors are larger, so they don't work with PM). I did, however, notice that SOME of the models are different sizes than in Riivolution, and some aren't and I have no clue why only some of them are when all of them are one-slot skins and not PSAs or anything.(There's even this one really weird glitch with Pokemon R/B/Y Blastoise over Squirtle that when he goes into shell form, he gets really small but his hitboxes are still as large as he is; this is only for PM, and not regular Brawl, on top of that)

Title: Re: BrawlBox 0.76
Post by: Ricky (Br3) on June 18, 2015, 10:20:18 AM
I found out what the issue was.

Everytime you vertex a huge stage model, that polygon's vertex set changes "Force Rebuid" to True, messing up the model in-game. The solution is to expand the mdl0, expand the Vertices folder, then find the vertex set you modified. Then change "Force Rebuild" back to False. It should look alright in game then.

EDIT: My mistake. It appears that turning "Force Rebuild" off just makes it so it doesn't apply the changes to the model in fact when saving. That's why the model would stop messing up, but in the end, it didn't mess up because it didn't try to apply any changes. But there's something else I've noticed...

When looking at the modified Polygon at the Polygon folder inside the mdl0, then clicking the Vertice Collection, before editing the model, the Weighted Position shows as (0,0,0) for every vertice. Then, after editing and saving, with "Force Rebuid" set to True, new Weighted Positions are assigned, for every single one out of the over 1000 vertices.

I'm still a bit far as to the cause of the issue, and even further away of the solution, but definitely there seems to be an issue with the rebuild function, at least in this model. I'm going to go and try other big stage models, to see if the issue is the same.

Speaking of that, since I won't be making any more BrawlBox versions I figured I'd release the latest version with some compatibility optimizations dealing with the compiler.

I removed the updater so the program could be downgraded back to NET 4.0. That means it should be able to run on Windows XP again.

I've compiled 3 versions targeted towards specific OS bitsets as well, try out a different version if one doesn't work for you.

32-bit (should still work on 64-bit) (https://www.dropbox.com/s/0uc5aj7o9dlhlx8/BrawlBox%20v0.76%20%2832-bit%29.zip?dl=0)
64-bit (shouldn't work on 32-bit) (https://www.dropbox.com/s/te0473dncnh3xdp/BrawlBox%20v0.76%20%2864-bit%29.zip?dl=0)

I also fixed bugs adding new material texture references and replacing a material or material texture reference while having at least one unused texture reference, just because I was trying to do those things and it kept crashing on me :L

Those minor bugfixes aren't in the main release because I'd have to roll out a whole new update and all that.

I'm not really sure why it wouldn't work at all for larger models.

The entire model rendering architecture needs to be updated for better modeling support, really. The current way it does it is actually a workaround and only works for editing vertices because each vertex only has one representation, whereas the others can have multiple of the same value on different vertices, which means they would be overwritten in the value array unless it was regenerated and each facepoint in every linked object were updated with the new indices for each value.

If that was done, we could be editing normals, colors and UVs in the editor as well. We could probably even make models from scratch with a bit more work. Basically, if I kept programming BrawlBox, it would've turned into a pretty decent model editor :T

I'm kinda having an issue with the model viewer. The model viewer will occasionally freeze (not crash-wise), and I have to end up closing the re-opening the model viewer.

(I'm just posting this for if someone were to pick up BrawlBox development.)

The way i learned to fix that was to make a SCN0, or use an existing stage SCN0 data and let it run in the model viewer.. that seems to fix the issue for me, but only when an SCN0 is selected.

Didn't work. Thanks, though.

I turned off the shaders and it came out like this.

It's your shaders/materials. BrawlBox v0.76 renders shaders/materials just as they were in-game. You're going to need to alter your shaders until you get your desired result.

cant wait to see anything new from ya!! Maybe u can help me with the keyframe data in these .omo files when ur back~

also.. which version of BB is more stable when saving the common3 pac file? cause anything 0.73b and higher makes the game crash/freeze right at start up. All i did was replace the model of the EffCommonFlyingPlate with a new model (note: it uses the original brawl bones with it). Made it have a smaller filesize also compared to its regular size.

I just started using .76 and am "working" with blender, after importing a model file into Blender, modifying the vertices, exporting out of blender back into brawl box and replacing the Mdl0 file, it spits it back saying "cannot continue importing this model. There was a problem creating a default material and shader--- exception system.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: index was out of range, must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection."

Then I tried just modifying the object 0 mesh on blender, but when I import it, the model is exploded.

Ive tried looking around on other posts, but it seems like blender doesn't want to play nice with BrawlBox, and there is no sure fire way to get it to work- and I'm new at editing outside of brawl box, premiere and gimp.

2. Import .omo from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U into a .chr0.

SmashU light.bin files isnt like SCN0 pal, its very different due to 2 files being used for stage lighting.

AreaLight and Light0

light - stage lighting color
areaLight - light position and lighting type (also has other data in there that i couldnt figure out)

as for omo files... only the header is figured out, keyframes arnt yet.. and the omo files might have multiple animation files stored within them.

If we're giving suggestions for those who intend on taking up BrawlBox, then one would be to preserve bone rotations upon import, as with some models (with their original skeletons), certain bones will rotate in an unwanted way upon importing.

How possible would it be to implement a transparent BB background? i was thinking about it.  i constantly go back and forth with reference pics/video when doing texturing or animation, it might be an interesting feature if possible, tho knowing a few programs that use something similar, it can be quite heavy as well. tho it would allow you to see anything behind brawlbox as you mess with the model viewer. you could even trace an animation so to speak like that (overlapping model and gif/video and making your changes to match)

anyway that was just an idea i got randomely. i noticed you can make a vertex patch in the newer brawlboxes. if i'm not mistaken thats similar to how the original method for vertex hacking was correct? say i had 2 samus models, one vetexed, the other not, can i morph the vertex edits to the default model?

Title: Re: BrawlBox v0.76b
Post by: BlackJax96 on August 14, 2015, 12:30:41 AM
Any chance of a tutorial on the weight editor tool?

Alright, I can write up a small one to help you out. It's similar to 3ds Max's rigging tool, just with a few less features :P



1. Open up a model in the viewer and enable vertices by pressing V.

2. For bones, there are three main approaches to selecting them, depending on your preference. You'll be selecting bones to change weights for vertices.
   - You can enable selecting them on the model itself by pressing B.
   - You can make the bones render smaller so they're less in the way by going to Options->Settings->General and checking "Scale bones with camera" and "Display bones as points".
   - You can disable rendering them on the model altogether and use the bone list on the right panel instead (make sure the dropdown on the top of the right panel says "Bones"). You can show all the bones in the order they appear in the model by checking flat at the top, or show them in their hierarchy by unchecking flat. You can also search for bones with the textbox, and check "Contains" to return any bones with the search query in their name. Otherwise it will return bones that start with the search query.

3. This is an optional step but I highly recommend it. You can disable showing the transform tool used to translate, rotate and scale vertices and bones by changing the dropdown on the top right of the control to "None". It's not needed for weight editing and you don't want to accidentally change a bone or vertex's position while changing weights.

4. Apply an animation to the model or else you won't be able to see any weight changes you make. You can create an animation just for rigging or you can use an animation used in the game to really see how the model looks overall while animated.

5. Open the weight editor by pressing 9 or clicking on Tools->Weight Editor.

6. Click on a vertex or select multiple by either clicking and dragging or holding ctrl and clicking on multiple.

It's possible to accidentally select vertices that are hidden, on the other side of the model, or in the exact same position as the one you're trying to select, so double check (I probably should've added text that says how many vertices are selected but oh well). Selected vertices will be orange, as long as you can see them.

7. All bones that influence the vertex or vertices you selected will show up in the weight editor. Now select a bone, either from the list in the weight editor, from the list on the right panel, or one rendered on the model (if you have them visible).

Vertices around the bone you selected will light up in colors ranging between red and blue. Blue means the bone you selected has a small influence on that vertex (the vertex moves with the bone only a little bit), red means the bone has either a high influence or completely influences that vertex (the vertex will just move with the bone).

NOTE that if you select multiple vertices, the list of bone weights in the editor will show the average influence of the bone on all of the selected vertices, not just one of them.

8. Next comes changing the influence of the bone you selected. This is done with the buttons to the right of the list in the weight editor. You will be able to see any changes you make immediately update any vertices you have selected.

Each bone can have anywhere between a 0% influence on a vertex to 100%, and the all weights in the list must add up to 100%. If you try to change something that would result in breaking those rules, the change either won't be made or your inputted value will be clamped between 0 and 100 before being set, so keep that in mind.

- "Set" will change the selected bone's influence on the selected vertices to the value in the box next to it. This is best used if you want to rig an entire set of vertices to one bone at the same time.

- "+" or "-" will add or subtract the value in the box next to them to/from the influence of the selected bone. This is best for quickly nudging vertices over larger distances at a time.

- "x" or "/" will multiply or divide the influence of the selected bone by the value in the box next to them. This is best for nudging vertices over smaller distances at a time.

- "Lock" will make the selected bone's influence never change while you edit. Other bone weights will be changed to make sure all weights add up to 100%, but if the bone is locked then it won't. However, if all bones in the weight list except the one you're editing are locked, you won't be able to make any changes.

- "Remove" is the same thing as setting the weight value to 0, which will remove the influence of that bone completely.

9. Lastly, if you select a bone that's not in the weight list, your only options are to set a weight or add to the weight ("Set" and "+"). That will add the selected bone to the list of weights that influence the selected vertices.

Okay, I have a question. Most likely I misunderstood what the weight editor could be used for, however, before you ask yes I read the tutorials thoroughly. So, Peach's sleeve is weighted to about five bones on this model when it needs to be weighted 100% to Rshoulderjb.
(http://i.imgur.com/5En2DDV.png)
I selected the vertices then Rshoulderjb. I figured that "Set" would work since I was trying to rig an entire group of vertices to a single bone (I didn't know what number to put in the field so I tried several). However, I can't get any results... It doesn't mater what settings I change or buttons I press nothing happens. I'm probably doing something dumb and I know this isn't a help thread, but no one else really knows how to use this at the moment. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Have the settings used for importing/exporting changed in recent updates?

I get an "ArgumentOutOfRangeException" whenever I try to import a model now (occurs when remapping materials). This never happened before and my import/export settings on 3DSMax that worked fine with v0.71 and earlier haven't changed. Usually it's because I forgot to cut/copy the skin or took it off the wrong model but I'm 100% positive that that's not the case.

Some edits last week were giving me the same issue and I thought I must have messed up during the editing process somehow but after it happening again tonight I'm sure it's not a coincidence.

EDIT: Going back to v0.71 is not giving me any problems importing the exact same file v0.76 was complaining
about.

EDIT2: Looks like this is already a reported issue so hopefully it gets fixed soon!

The last version of BrawlBox to support moveset editing was v0.68b.

Hey, I started a thread (http://smashboards.com/threads/wanting-to-make-a-pm-build-creator-website-looking-for-information-help-etc.424623/) on Smashboards about wanting to create a website that allows users to easily customize and create their own builds. Placing files and hex-editing is totally possible, but the only roadblock I've really had is automating SSS and CSS image replacements, since BrawlBox and its related tools utilize a GUI.

Is there any chance there could ever be a way to interact with BrawlBox from the command-line with batch files and what not? I don't think it would help just me, but instead a lot of people that are working with mods and testing quickly.

I'd love to be able to just specify images I need to replace within the game files and do it all through command-line with arguments, and it would bring my dream website for the community closer to reality.

The main reason I haven't made a command-line interface to BrawlLib is that the amount of stuff you can do with it is just so large. I'm curious as to what operations you would need to perform (replace SSS icon / name / etc?)

If your website is written in ASP.NET you might be able to use BrawlLib itself, although I've never tried that (there might be some MessageBox.Show calls lying around and IDK what would happen in a web environment).

I wanted to ask. lately i've been using BB's code editor. Does it have a limit to what it can remember? for instance i can remember all codes in PM and open the GCT, and it still shows unknown codes even when its documented. and saving that file as a GCT seems to break some codes. its been strange. this happen to anyone else?

Then, i can't select any bones, polygons or textures and i receive this error one more time when trying to close the window. It doesn't happens with all models, but this happens with models that matter. This never happened before Hotfix 2. How to fix this? Simply re-importing it as .dae does nothing.

so we ever gonna get a fix for this? because I've been getting this too, but this doesn't happen in any of the older Brawlbox versions. (been using 0.71 for a while now because of this.)

I'm quite curious on what the SCLA is in each stage PAC file for. My guess is partially model spawning of some sorts.
As for the Camera Parameters (STPM), I'm trying to figure out what the unknown values are for. I kind of know some of them already. (These are not 100% confirmed)

Values 18 & 19: Act as some sort of multiplier for the camera's translation speed for X and Y respectively.
Values 20, 21, 22, & 23: It can't be all 4 of them, but (it has been about 2 years since I last checked them) 2 of the 4 has to be related with CamLimit0N and CamLimit0E as if it's a multiplier; possibly a translation restriction.

For the psa its self you don't really need brawl box. however if you have images you want to add to the CSS (Character Select Screen) its pretty simple to do. 

first you need a CSS to start with, most big mods come with their own, or you can easily find one on BV. the CSS file is called the "sc_selchar.pac" this can be in 2 different locations depending on the mod.

SD/Private/wii/app/rsbe/pf/menu2/sc_selchar.pac
or
SD/Private/wii/app/rsbe/pf/common/common5.pac

Your mod should only use one of those or the game will crash, (never use both at once)

start brawlbox and open up the sc_selchar/common5 (common5 will have the sc_selchar in it along with 2 other files, but it will be the same process in both) then it depends on what image you want to replace.

for icon and names you want to go to MiscData[70]
for CSPs you go to char_bust_tex_lz77

then you simply look for marth's files and replace them with the images you want. i recomend CSP's be imported as CMPR.

Make sure the images are the same size as the originals. or you could risk a broken image and crash the game, or it may go over the file size limits.

if you still need more help on it, there are several tutorials around in the tutorial and help sections, i recommend looking there.


Title: Re: BrawlBox v0.76b
Post by: KingJigglypuff on January 10, 2016, 08:08:07 AM
It's best to just use the sc_selcharacter.pac and ditch the common5.pac, as they basically the same file, except the common5.pac includes the animation files for Charizard and I believe Squirtle. Heck, you should use the common5.pac Project M used, as it nulls the file itself to allow Charizard's and Squirtle's animation files to be read directly from their character folders. It will also decrease the loading time.

While I'm on this subject, also use the common.pac and common4 .pac files from Project M as well, as those will also allow the animation files of Ivysaur, Samus, Zero Suit Samus, Zelda, Sheik, Bowser, and Giga Bowser to be directly read from their character folders, alongside further decreasing load time.

I never thought about loading times, i'll have to try that out :o i know by default the FPC reads menu2 and other external files first, the common1, 4, and 5 are really only needed for riivo or direct USB replacement, otherwise the game skips over them when loading files in live time. tho i think another benifit to using sc_selchar or external files is the ability to hotswap while you test.

extrernally you can swap files, exit out of the screen and re-enter it to show updated changes. common5 i believe does not, since it loads once at start up. Personally i agree with KJP, its a lot more convienient to skip the common files.

I'm doing a model import request, importing two types of shoes, but because of a bug with it, I had to re-UV the whole thing, and didn't want to re-UV the whole other shoe type as well, so I vertexed it in Blender, then imported both into BrawlBox, and vertexed them to the right spots, which took a really, really, long time; so I'm using Mewtwo2000's UV editing program, but I don't know what the numbers represent. What I'm talking about are the numbers if you go to "UVs" under the MDL0, select a UV, and then expand "Points". Could somebody help, please? :'(

I was thinking that for the scn0 editing in model viewer that we should add a attatch button by selecting a bone then attaching it and then playing the animation to create a lighting moving animation in the model viewer to attach a stage light to a bone. Another idea that I have is that we should import model.nud files from Smash Wii U into Brawlbox with the GLSL Shaders if it is possible.

I have been having problems with Brawlbox v0.63b. I know this is not the most recent version, but it is the last version to project visual hitboxes since Blackjax "Ikarus" never got off the ground. I recently got into character modding, and I've downloaded some custom character mods to replace other characters in the game. I took up modding to try and balance custom characters to be less over powered. When I try to save, the program crashes. Is there any way to fix this or a different program? I have been using Smash Attacks to alter the characters, but its impossible to know what that data looks like in-game without visual aid.

Not sure if it's just me or not, but sometimes, animations in latest version look different from how they are in older versions (0.73 and below) and in the game. This can range from some minor clipping to limbs going ape[censored] instead of properly going from one pose to another. This is very annoying because there are several features and fixes in latest version that are not present in older versions, but i can't just safely make animations without having to fix something.

Hey guys.

So I wanted to do something with the Halberd stage and Meta Knight. I opened the Halberd stage in the advanced model editor (or whatever it's called). Then I opened Meta Knight under the files tab on the right section. At first, I didn't see him. I looked inside the Halberd, however, and I could see Meta Knight. I want to know, is there a way to move Meta Knight, so that he is above the Halberd? Like, translating all of Meta Knight instead of just one bone? Or is there a way to select all of the bones?


Title: Re: BrawlBox v0.76b
Post by: windhunter7 on May 06, 2016, 11:12:13 AM
You could probably translate whichever bone is Meta Knight's root bone; i.e. For regular fighters, it's the TransN or TopN, but in this case, probably a hip bone or something.

then, could someone tell what tricks we can now pull off with said new feature? i'm legit curious about this

Post by: Tiberious on June 16, 2016, 06:34:03 AM
Okay, I found out it's a FPC issue, and I've dropped my edited smashbros_sound.brsar into a copy of the ISO, and then compressed that ISO back to WBFS, just to test and see if my edit worked (before upgradng to FPC4.1), but now something different happens.

When Bowser wins, there seems to be no sound at all, skipping straight to the post-fanfare track.

I have Z12.brstm (Smash 4's Bowser (Jr.) victory fanfare) sitting in sound/strm, so I don't know what's going on now.


Edit: I'm going to try rebuilding the ISO with a dummy Z12.brstm (a copy of 000.brstm renamed) added in and see if it's because the file wasn't originally on the disc.
If this is what causes it to work, then I'll know it's a case of the game not playing nice with FPC if the file's not ont he disc originally.

SUCCESS!

Turns out it was the game not finding the file on the disc originally. As soon as I tried with a rebuild of the image where I placed a 'dummy' Z12.brstm (a renamed copy of 000.brstm) into sound/strm, FPC 3.5.1 dutifully loaded the 'real' Z12.brstm from SD card.

If only it was possible to select multiple vertices one-by-one with the SHIFT button. (Unless that was implemented, of course.)

Any chance the upcoming version could be compatible with 32 bits win 7?

it's not?

Hold CTRL to select one-by-one.

Is there a way to fix the weighting glitch? Because there's a glitch where whenever I change the weight of ANY vertex, even though it works fine, if I save the file, then when I re-open the file, the vertices will be translated to weird places. I mean, there is a workaround where translating the vertices that are changed in weight will stop this from happening, but it's rather annoying to have to do this every single time. So is there a way to fix this?

Also, is there any way to select a vertex and set the weight to a bone that it(Or another vertex you have selected) isn't weighted to? For example(This is just an imaginary example), if I had a tail model rigged to BustN and I wanted those vertices rigged to the TailN bone, would there be a way to do that in BrawlBox without selecting anything already rigged to the TailN bone? And if not, could this also be implemented?

Just choose the vertex, choose the bone in the list/tree on the right, and then click + or set weight in the weight editor. Make sure the textbox next to either button isn't 0 as well.

You can reproduce it if you select vertices of both a single-binded object and a non-single-binded object and weight those vertices 100% to one bone; otherwise, you can't really reproduce the error. I know, because I have to do this with Blender importing, since I can't yet import rigging, unless it's single-binded. And vertexing the vertices before saving has made it not translate the vertices like that every time so far, for me, at least.

Thanks for the info, btw, but is there a way to do it by selecting the vertices, the bone, and then typing the percent weight into the box to the left of "Set"? Because that's the way I normally do it.

@windhunter7 Did you check "Update Mesh"?

I don't even know what or where that button is? I cannot find it anywhere in the preview.

Is there a way to define what settings the model will have for materials and shaders as a default? I'm importing characters into Mario Kart Wii and everytime I make a change to the model in 3ds Max I have to set them again and after a while it get's quite tedious, especially if making a lot of iterative changes.

Right click the model you've already imported and choose "Reimport Meshes". This will update the meshes of all the objects with the same name and add new meshes without resetting anything else.

Unfortunately you have to select the bone from the list, it will deselect the vertices if you pick it in the viewer. This can be fixed though.

No, nothing other than an object's assigned texture is imported.

Sure, I just hope it can be fixed, cause it's kind of annoying.

What I meant, btw, was not picking it from the list or not, though; I just meant can you type "100" in the box and have it work as if you typed 100 in the box after selecting a bone that it's already rigged to. Sorry if this sounds confusing.

For the current Mario Kart Wii character I am working on I've editted the boneset in 3ds Max 2015 as the proportions weren't right and as a result I've had to edit the animations so the character looks correct. The animations look fine in BrawlBox v0.77 but when testing in game, on the Wii, if for instance the character finishes his jump animation before he hits the floor when falling, it will go into a random, deformed pose for the remainder of the fall. Is this an issue with BrawlBox or am I missing something when editting animations?


Title: Re: BrawlBox v0.77
Post by: windhunter7 on July 20, 2016, 06:58:31 PM
2 more glitches that I keep forgetting to mention, because these particular glitches aren't as annoying:

(Only in later versions of BrawlBox) Rendering polygons in the Preview Window that don't have vertex colors will almost always have it be one solid color, usually black or green.

Deleting bones that don't have anything rigged to them can be deleted, but you can't delete more than about 2 or so bones at a time.


Title: Re: BrawlBox v0.77
Post by: windhunter7 on July 30, 2016, 10:43:56 PM
Another glitch to report: If any vertices are rigged to more than one bone(By that, I mean any one vertex is rigged to 2 or more bones), then attempting to vertex them or port them to another .pac/.pcs file of the same character via the "Import New Object" method, both of these will end up exploding the parts that are rigged to multiple bones; the only way to avoid this explosion when attempting either of these is if the vertices are rigged to only one bone. I think this might be one of the more important glitches.

This might have something to do with your video driver.
I know BrawlBox works on 32-bit - it actually doesn't work on 64-bit (lots of code that assumes you can cast pointers to ints) and so we always build it as a 32-bit program.

BrawlBox v0.78 release candidate 1

You might notice that this version is in a bigger .zip file and has a new directory structure. This is because it now supports python plugins! I have a couple I'm going to make and post in another thread.

Please test this version out and post here if there are any regressions from v0.77.

Post by: KingJigglypuff on February 23, 2017, 11:52:10 AM
While not a regression, this has been an issue since, I believe v0.77, but the Weight Editor does not like newly added bones. When attempting to weigh a newly added bone, the vertecies aren't properly weighed, and end up glitching out. Saving doesn't fix the issue. This issue is still present in v0.78

This next issue has effected me since v0.77. Whenever I attempt to import a texture, the BrawlBox windows get small, and the text changes format.

(http://i.imgur.com/5awJi6p.png)

Just like the previous issue, this is something that's still present in v0.78.

This final issue is something I've posted on the Github issues section, and was told this issue was due to the ANIM importer being unfinished.

What the issue is is that since the ANIM importer is unfinished, it tends to mess up animations, causing them to jitter and bloat file size.

You likely already know about this issue specifically, but I just wanted to throw this issue out there in hopes someone who'll know what to do sees this, and finishes BrawlBox's ANIM importer.

Edit: There seems to be an issue with v0.78's Edit All function for animations. It'll only edit and save animations that don't have keyframes for the bones in question. Otherwise, it'll display the changes, but revert said changes upon saving.

Edit 2: You can force the edits to save by making a minor edit to the affected animations.

Edit 3: I remember this same issue effecting the Clean function for animations as well. Changes wouldn't be saved, unless the animation was altered aside from being cleaned.

This next issue has effected me since v0.77. Whenever I attempt to import a texture, the BrawlBox windows get small, and the text changes format.

This only happens on high-DPI monitors. I think I tried once to fix it and couldn't come up with anything. I'll look again if I have time.

Sounds like it's not marking IsDirty as true on the CHR0 entry node. This should be an easy fix.

BrawlBox v0.78 release candidate 1

You might notice that this version is in a bigger .zip file and has a new directory structure. This is because it now supports python plugins! I have a couple I'm going to make and post in another thread.

Please test this version out and post here if there are any regressions from v0.77.

https://github.com/libertyernie/brawltools/releases/download/v0.78_rc1/BrawlBox.v0.78.rc1.zip (https://github.com/libertyernie/brawltools/releases/download/v0.78_rc1/BrawlBox.v0.78.rc1.zip)


So, what's the changelog for this version? Because there were four very annoying glitches that persisted in 0.77 and 0.76, one of which was only glitchy in those versions and NOT a glitch in previous versions.

The glitch that was not in previous versions but is in the newer ones is the most annoying, and that is that if you attempt translating vertices that are rigged to more than one bone, they don't translate properly. The vertices will explode, moving all in different directions, and then if you press Ctrl+Z it doesn't even undo it properly. And you can't translate them back, either; they can ONLY move away from the model. And attempting to scale vertices will also cause this same glitch.

The second glitch would be that some models(I don't know what causes this, but it happens with some models), if you attempt to re-rig something 100% to one bone that it's rigged to(For example, if a head is rigged to the HeadN bone and the NeckN bone, and you want to rig it 100% to the HeadN bone), you can use the +'s and -'s fine, that won't do anything(Except that, because the other bones in the list are still in the list, glitch number one will still happen); but, if you attempt to write in the value 100 in the top box for the weight, it WILL look fine in BrawlBox, but the model will get destroyed in-game, although I can't say for sure if it's the UVs, the materials, the shaders, or a combination. The model will end up rigged perfectly fine, but it will look really weird. Two examples that happened to me are in the spoiler below.

Sometimes, in the preview window, (This particular glitch didn't happen in earlier versions, btw) certain models will turn either green, blue, or black, kind of randomly. I'm not certain as to what causes this, but based on how it happened to any of my "No Purplish Tint Sonic" models, where I edited the materials and also removed the color nodes, I think it has something to do with the color nodes.

Another glitch is that sometimes(Not always, but it is rather common), if you re-rig vertices, and then save and exit, if you re-open, the vertices that you re-rigged will be in different, randomized locations, but the model looked fine before. Fixing it, the only way to fix it is, in itself annoying, because you have to get out of the Weight Editor, unselect everything, then select the vertices that you re-weighed, translate them somewhere else, then translate them back. If you do this, when you save, exit, and re-open, they're fine, but this is really annoying, especially since it could cause the other glitch, if, when rigging, you don't rig everything to one bone.

There's this fifth glitch too, but I don't find it very annoying, because you can just use version 0.71 and it works fine, glitch-free. But in the later version of .76 or .77, if you use the Add New Object button or whatever it's called, with the same settings as in .71, the entire model will get messed up.

P.S. Now that Blender importing is literally perfect, these glitches aren't necessary to fix, but they still are annoying glitches, and I would like them to be fixed, if possible.


So, even though I fixed it by doing it a different way, it did happen to the Groose model that I used here(If you need to, I can provide the DL):
http://i.imgur.com/19BUyLe.png (http://i.imgur.com/19BUyLe.png)

And here, in this different model(An edited Eevee model), you can definitely see what it did to the body:

Hey, quick question: I came in contact with someone who uploaded the SSBB models to Models Resource, and was told that he used BrawlBox to extract the models and textures, and they were automatically UV Mapped. However, when I exported a model from Brawlbox as a .DAE file, and the textures as .PNG's, the model isn't UV mapped despite the material already having the textures listed. Which version of BrawlBox exports the UV Mapping? I'm using v.0.77

I personally know very little about any of the 3D model related components in Brawl or BrawlBox, so I won't be able to fix any of those bugs.

Are you using Max or Blender? Because I export as .dae from BrawlBox .71, convert it to .fbx, and import it to Blender and the UVs are fine. (Importing the .dae to Blender also works, but then when you attempt the importing process of export-as-fbx-convert-to-dae-import-dae-to-Brawlbox, there's a glitch with the right side of the model; only the right side, which is even weirder O_O ) But yeah, try BrawlBox .71 and see if that exports the UVs properly. Since it works fine for Blender, I'm fairly sure that it should also work for Max.

Title: Re: BrawlBox v0.77. See page 64 - v0.78 coming soon
Post by: windhunter7 on February 24, 2017, 10:34:13 AM
Use Autodesk's FBX Converter 2013.3; here's a link to it: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/item?siteID=123112&id=22694909 (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/item?siteID=123112&id=22694909)

But, yeah, in BrawlBox .71, export as .dae, in the FBX Converter, convert the .dae to .fbx, and then import the .fbx into the newest version of Blender. You could also directly import the .dae into the newest version of Blender, instead, and the bones won't be weird-looking like importing the .fbx, but importing the .dae would mean that you can't export the model back into BrawlBox with the rigging intact if you edit it. The .dae though does contain bones that work; it's just that the Brawl animations will mess it up, because they don't have heads and tails like octahedronal bones do.

Ok, so I just spent like an hour and a half Googling stuff, and found out how to fix it(I honestly never knew this before, myself):

1) You will have to do this for every single polygon; annoying, yes, but you have to do it for each one; a shortcut to select each would be to use the upper-right-hand display that has the orange triangles, expand the bones, and then select each of the orange triangles.

2) Go from Object Mode into Edit Mode, and select all the vertices

3) The bottom icon that's a clock, select that dropdown and change it to UV/Image Editor

4) Go Image->Open Image and select the image that would be associated with that particular polygon

5) Go back to Object Mode

6) Repeat on each polygon

It should theoretically work. Come to think of it, though, when I did it, my original model looked white/gray instead of black, whereas when I was experimenting with buttons, and selected GLSL, the model turned black. So try this, then retry what I was saying, and see if it then works, cause it worked for me:

Press the N key to open up Properties, and then scroll down to Shading, and there should be a dropdown; what does the dropdown say? If the dropdown says GLSL like my hunch is, change it to Multitextured and it should work.

This is not necessarily a problem with the new release (had it since 0.77) but it still persists in 0.78.

On some models the graphical overlay for the bone rotations gets very small but it only affects the overlay since in order to actually rotate the bone I have to hover the mouse over where the X/Y/Z lines would be if the overlay was normal size.

Example images:

Neither replacing Brawlbox nor replacing the models helped.

I set it to Mutitextured and redid the step, but it still didn't work. I tried redoing the entire exporting, using 0.71 and then 0.77 (0.78 wouldn't download)

Ok, I dunno. I guess, test to see if you can do it with Link's tunic polygon? Because that's what I tested, was doing it with that, and it worked. So test it with Link's 2 main polygons(The one that his boots are part of, and the one that his tunic is part of), and see if you can get it to work with that. Then tell me what happened, so we can narrow down what the issue may be.

No, I meant see if you can do what you were attempting to do with Fox, but with Link's model(Specifically, the two polygons that I mentioned), and see if it's a Fox thing, or if it's your Blender settings

Ok, gotcha. It's not just a Wolf thing, didn't work for Link either.

Also, just to clarify: Like with Wolf, the UVs are there and mapped, but the textures just aren't visible in Blender, so I have no idea if it'll display in SFM eventually

I have bug to report on BrawlBox. It has not been fixed in 0.78 RC1 either.

The BFSTM framework for BrawlBox is not developed properly. Whenever you play a BFSTM in BrawlBox, there is always a clicking noise in the stream. Do you want to know what causes it? It's because it's using an incorrect hex value to indicate on moving to the next sample. So what happens is the next sample that is played is using an extra byte in playing back, but at the same time, missing the end of the sample that is supposed to be played as a sound sample.

It may sound like there's a clicking noise every 0.5 seconds, but that's because it plays too quickly for it to be heard until 0.5 seconds later. But what really is happening, is it's playing a clicking noise on every single sample in the stream.

Next up, multiple streams in BCSTM are not supported in BrawlBox yet, therefore bringing up an error saying that multi-stream files are not supported. But in reality, it's actually because BrawlBox got it's header values in the wrong position when reading the file format.

BCSTMs and BFSTMs are completely different format, you can't just expect them to be identical to BRSTMs. Their coding may be similar in that it's made using NintendoWare, but there are huge differences in their header positions in NW4C and NW4F formats.

Please fix them. Otherwise I may have to do some trial and error in trying to fix those bugs myself. ^^'

Expand the MDL0, and expand the Materials folder; see if you can expand each material. If not, that means that there are no textures attached to the materials, and this is super easy to fix.(This is something that happens with Blender importing, too) Go to a Brawl fighter, expand the MDL0, expand the Materials folder, and export a material. Make sure that either it's a material with only one texture being referenced, or, if you want to actually use a reflective material, use one from your choice of what kind of reflection you want(For example, Samus' reflection looks entirely different from Sonic's reflection on his fur) Now go back to the Pokemon model, and back to the Materials folder, and right-click->Replace all of the materials with the one that you exported. (This sentence is optional)Expand these materials, and, for each material, rename what texture is assigned to the material to whatever you want to name it to. Now go into the Textures part(Where the actual textures are located, in the other BRRES), delete any existing textures and/or palettes, and right-click the BRRES and click Import->Texture, select the textures of the Pokemon model that you want to import, and rename them to the corresponding materials. Now the model should have the textures attached to it.

(This sentence is optional)Expand these materials, and, for each material, rename what texture is assigned to the material to whatever you want to name it to. Now go into the Textures part(Where the actual textures are located, in the other BRRES), delete any existing textures and/or palettes, and right-click the BRRES and click Import->Texture, select the textures of the Pokemon model that you want to import, and rename them to the corresponding materials. Now the model should have the textures attached to it.
I meant the bones. How do you fix that?

Oh, sorry. What kind of file did you import it as, what program did you export the model from, and what version of BrawlBox did you use?

Unfortunately, I only know Blender importing, so if you used another program, I dunno why. I do know, though, that this was a problem with Blender importing, where it did that same thing, way back when I was first testing importing rigged models, and although I can't directly remember why it did that, I think it had something to do with either the rotation of the model and bones as a whole, or with the rotation/translation of the individual bones themselves.

While not a bug, it's a regression that's been in Brawlbox since I think v0.68b, but back in v0.67, you could edit certain Bone Flags, alongside other bone-related things.

Example Image (v0.67):
(http://i.imgur.com/rYYQSWo.png)

These features are no longer present in BrawlBox versions past v0.67.

Example Image (v0.68b):

On an unrelated note, when could we expect a hotfix update to v0.78? It would also be nice to see the moveset editor from v0.68b make a comeback in a separate branch version with added features.

I'll probably make a "final" version of 0.78 later this week, with just one change (an Edit All dialog fix.)

I wasn't working on BrawlBox until v0.72 so I'd have to go back and try to figure out where the bone flags went (unless BJ96 is around and knows.)

I'd like to fix the CSTM and FSTM stuff since I was the one who added that, but that will probably have to wait for later.

For each of the bone flags, there is another way to toggle it:
  • NoTransform: I think it turns this one on if you set scale to (1,1,1) and translation and rotation to (0,0,0)
  • FixedTranslation: Set translation to (0,0,0)
  • FixedRotation: Set rotation to (0,0,0)
  • FixedScale: Set scale to (1,1,1)
  • ScaleEqual: Set scale to the same number in all 3 directions
  • SegScaleCompApply: has its own toggle setting
  • SegScaleCompParent: has its own toggle setting
  • ClassicScaleOff: has its own toggle setting
  • Visible: has its own toggle setting
  • HasGeometry: there is at least one node user (Users.Count > 0) or at least one object rigged only to this bone (SingleBindObjects.Length > 0). Not quite sure what this means exactly.
  • HasBillboardParent: set BillboardRefBone to something that is not null

Post by: BlackJax96 on March 08, 2017, 10:39:09 AM
Yeah, the flags don't need to be visible. They're all calculated automatically.

  • HasGeometry: there is at least one node user (Users.Count > 0) or at least one object rigged only to this bone (SingleBindObjects.Length > 0). Not quite sure what this means exactly.

This means the bone influences at least one vertex (Users) or a whole object (SingleBindObjects). If HasGeometry isn't set it means that the bone is only influencing child bones and has no direct effect on any vertices.

Bone Flags can be used to make added bones stationary without the need to add a keyframe to it. This helps out most with costumes with added bones, like with the Kart R.O.B. alt in Project M. Even some vBrawl bones have different Bone Flags.

Examples:
(http://i.imgur.com/408f8CH.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/K8nNUcz.png)
Both these bones do not have geometry and are used for Stage Position parameters.

Edit: Here's an in-game example to further show what I mean.
(http://i.imgur.com/j9LCLrl.png)
This screencap shows the Lucario Final Smash placement bone on a Boss Battle stage. Without editing the Bone Flags  to "FixedRotation, FixedScale, Common5, Visible", then Lucario wouldn't have went to that point, but rather, the game would act like the bone was at 0, 0, 0, rather than 0, 100, 0.

I still don't get it, the flags on those bones are set as they should be. What do you change them to to achieve whatever you're talking about?

Post by: KingJigglypuff on March 08, 2017, 12:50:03 PM
To further specify, the bottom image in the first spoiler wasn't originally set to "FixedRotation, FixedScale, Common5, Visible". I had to manually set them to what I wanted. The only way to do this is to use v0.67.

The Bone Flags of a newly added bone are the following: "NoTransform, FixedTranslation, FixedRotation, FixedScale, Common5, Visible"

If this was going to be a new bone for something like an effect or if something were rigged to it, unless you made an animation (i.e. Keyframe), the game would treat the bone placements as 0, 0, 0 for Translation and Rotation, and 1, 1, 1 for Scale.

I'm not sure how else I can elaborate on this.

Do you have a link to some sort of specification for the header formats?

I assume vgmstream doesn't have this problem, right?

I'm pretty sure vgmstream doesn't have this issue. And neither does Uwizard.

As for specifications, I can't actually find any, but the closest I can get to, in regards to this format is here: https://gitlab.kode54.net/kode54/vgmstream/blob/master/src/meta/bcstm.c and here: https://gitlab.kode54.net/kode54/vgmstream/blob/master/src/meta/bfstm.c

I would assume there might be some documentation in the NW4C and NW4F official SoundMaker documents. I'll check them out and post it here when I've found it.

Edit: Found it!

Cafe DSP-ADPCM Stream (FSTM):
Quote
3 Data formats
3.1 WAV files DSPADPCM converts standard WAV files into DSP-ADPCM format. The WAV files must contain mono, 16-bit PCM data.  

3.2 AIFF files DSPADPCM can also convert AIFF files into DSP-ADPCM format. The AIFF files must contain mono, 16-bit PCM data.  Note: Loop points in the AIFF file will be read automatically and programmed into the header of the DSP-ADPCM output file.

3.3 DSP-ADPCM files When converting data into DSP-ADPCM format, the tool will preface the output data with a header. The structure of the header is defined below:

Code 1 - DSPADPCM header file
 
Code:
// all data in this structure is in BIG ENDIAN FORMAT!!!!
 
typedef struct
{
// for header generation during decode
     u32 num_samples;       // total number of RAW samples
     u32 num_adpcm_nibbles; // number of ADPCM nibbles (including frame headers)
     u32 sample_rate;       // Sample rate, in Hz
 
// DSP addressing and decode context
     u16 loop_flag;    // 1=LOOPED, 0=NOT LOOPED
     u16 format;       // Always 0x0000, for ADPCM
     u32 sa;           // Start offset address for looped samples (zero for non-looped)
     u32 ea;           // End offset address for looped samples
     u32 ca;           // always zero
     u16 coef[16];     // decode coefficients (eight pairs of 16-bit words)
 
// DSP decoder initial state
     u16 gain;         // always zero for ADPCM
     u16 ps;           // predictor/scale
     u16 yn1;          // sample history
     u16 yn2;          // sample history
 
// DSP decoder loop context
     u16 lps;          // predictor/scale for loop context
     u16 lyn1;         // sample history (n-1) for loop context
     u16 lyn2;         // sample history (n-2) for loop context
 
     u16 pad[11];      // reserved
 
} DSPADPCM;
 
// Header is 96 bytes long

This header contains information needed by the Nintendo Cafe audio DSP to decode and play the associated sample.  
Note: All data in the header is stored in big-endian format. This facilitates transfer of the data to a Nintendo Cafe runtime application. Much of the data may be used verbatim to program the DSP for sample playback. Consult the Audio Library (AX) section in this guide for application details. When decoding DSP-ADPCM data into WAV or AIFF format, the tool will assume that this header is present at the start of the DSP-ADPCM file. The DSPADPCM tool needs the first two parameters of the header to regenerate WAV header information during decode:
 
num_samplesNumber of raw, uncompressed samples in the file. Used for WAV/AIFF header generation during decode.
num_adpcm_nibbles Number of ADPCM nibbles (including frame headers) generated for this sample.
Note:You must round this up to the next multiple of 8 bytes to get the actual length of the data in the file because DSPADPCM only generates complete frames.
sampling_rateSampling rate of the data, expressed in Hertz. Used for WAV/AIFF header generation during decode.

The remaining parameters are required by the audio DSP to decode and play the associated ADPCM sample data:
 
loop_flagSpecifies whether or not the sample is looped. This parameter is stored in big-endian format and is used by the DSP for sample playback.
formatSpecifies the data format of the sample. Always zero. Used by the DSP for sample playback.
saLoop start offset, in nibbles. The user application must add the main memory address of the sample data before the DSP can use it.
eaLoop end offset, in nibbles. The user application must add the main memory address of the sample data before the DSP can use it.
caInitial offset value, in nibbles. Always zero. The user application must add the main memory address of the sample data before the DSP can use it.
coef[16]Decoder coefficients. This coefficient corresponds to AXPBADPCM Structure member a[][] in the following way.
a[0][0] = coef[0];
a[0][1] = coef[1];
a[1][0] = coef[2];
a[1][1] = coef[3];
a[2][0] = coef[4];
a[2][1] = coef[5];
a[3][0] = coef[6];
a[3][1] = coef[7];
a[4][0] = coef[8];
a[4][1] = coef[9];
a[5][0] = coef[10];
a[5][1] = coef[11];
a[6][0] = coef[12];
a[6][1] = coef[13];
a[7][0] = coef[14];
a[7][1] = coef[15];
gainGain factor. Always zero for ADPCM samples. ps Predictor and scale. This will be initialized to the predictor and scale value of the sample’s first frame.
yn1History data; used to maintain decoder state during sample playback.
yn2History data; used to maintain decoder state during sample playback.
lpsPredictor/scale for the loop point frame. If the sample does not loop, this value is zero.
lyn1History data for the loop point. If the sample does not loop, this value is zero.
lyn2History data for the loop point. If the sample does not loop, this value is zero.

 
 
Some notes about decoder addressing:
  • When processing ADPCM samples, the DSP will address memory as 4-bit nibbles.
  • The values for sa, ea, and ca generated by DSPADPCM are nibble-offsets which already account for the extra space needed for ADPCM frame headers. For example, the one hundredth sample does not
    refer to the one hundredth nibble in the sample data; the one hundredth sample would actually be the one hundred-sixteenth nibble.
  • The sa, ea, and ca values are offsets. When encoding data, DSPADPCM cannot know where the sample will be placed in memory. The user application is therefore responsible for adding a main memory address (in nibbles) to these offsets before the DSP can access the sample.
  • Note that individual ADPCM sound effects must start on 8-byte boundaries and must be at least a multiple of 8 bytes in length. Thus, when loading one or more ADPCM samples into memory, the samples must be packed such that the start of each sample falls on an 8-byte boundary.

CTR DSP-ADPCM Stream (CSTM):
Quote
Overview
WaveCodecCtr.dll is a Win32 run-time dynamic link library (DLL). This library provides an API for encoding and decoding between 16-bit signed (little-endian) sampling data and the DSP ADPCM compressed format.
The DSP ADPCM format is a compressed format that can be played by a CTR system's DSP. It can result in data sizes that are 1/3.5 of 16-bit PCM. This format can be used through the nn::snd::Voice class and the nn::snd::WaveBuffer structure.
This DLL is for developers who want to develop their own tools for creating and previewing DSP ADPCM sampling data. Note that this DLL is single-threaded.
ctr_WaveConverter uses the features of this DLL to create BCWAV files in ADPCM format.

getBytesForAdpcmBuffer
Syntax
Code:
u32 getBytesForAdpcmBuffer(u32 samples);
Arguments

NameDescription
insamplesNumber of (16-bit PCM) samples to encode.
Return Values
The number of bytes required to store the DSP ADPCM-encoded samples.
Description
getBytesForAdpcmBuffer calculates and returns the number of bytes required to store the sampling data that are being DSP ADPCM-encoded.
Note that the number of bytes will be a multiple of the 8-byte length of DSP ADPCM frames.
The actual length (in bytes) of the sampling data being encoded will probably be smaller than the value returned by this function. (For more information, see the section getBytesForAdpcmSamples.)
Use this function before encoding to allocate storage for the result.
getBytesForAdpcmSamples
Syntax
Code:
u32 getBytesForAdpcmSamples(u32 samples);
Arguments

NameDescription
insamplesNumber of (16-bit PCM) samples to encode.
Return Values
The actual length (in bytes) of the encoded sampling data.
Description
getBytesForAdpcmSamples returns the actual number of bytes occupied by the sampling data that are being DSP ADPCM-encoded.
getBytesForPcmBuffer
Syntax
Code:
u32 getBytesForPcmBuffer(u32 samples);

Arguments

NameDescription
insamplesThe number of samples being decoded.
Return Values
The predicted length (in bytes) of the DSP ADPCM sampling data being decoded.
Description
getBytesForPcmBuffer calculates and returns the number of bytes of data that must be stored after the number of samples passed in the argument have been decoded from the DSP ADPCM format.
getBytesForPcmSamples
Syntax
Code:
u32 getBytesForPcmSamples(u32 samples);
Arguments

NameDescription
insamplesNumber of samples.
Return Values
The length (in bytes) of the value specified in the sampling data.
Description
getBytesForPcmSamples returns the number of bytes for copying the specified user application value in the sampling data.
getSampleForAdpcmNibble
Syntax
Code:
u32 getSampleForAdpcmNibble(u32 nibble);
Arguments

NameDescription
innibbleADPCM nibble offset, including frame headers.
Return Values
The zero-based sample index for the corresponding ADPCM sampling data.
Description
getSampleForAdpcmNibble returns the number of zero-based samples for the corresponding ADPCM nibble.
getNibbleAddress
Syntax
Code:
u32 getNibbleAddress(u32 samples);
Arguments

NameDescription
insamples16-bit PCM address offset. 0 is the first sample. 100 is the 101st sample.
Return Values
Corresponding nibble address.
Description
getNibbleAddress calculates and returns the nibble corresponding to the sampling data, as based on the offset passed to the argument.
For example, the 100th sample (where the count starts at 0) corresponds to the 116th nibble (where the count also starts at 0). Note that the calculated nibble address incorporates the 2-nibble frame header that is already in DSP ADPCM compressed format.
One more example: The 0th sample corresponds to a nibble offset of 2, which is the 3rd nibble (counting from 0).
getLoopContext
Syntax
Code:
typedef struct
{
    // start context
    s16 coef[16];
    u16 gain;
    u16 pred_scale;
    s16 yn1;
    s16 yn2;

    // loop context
    u16 loop_pred_scale;
    s16 loop_yn1;
    s16 loop_yn2;
} ADPCMINFO;  

void getLoopContext(
    u8          *src,       // location of ADPCM buffer in RAM
    ADPCMINFO   *cxt,       // location of adpcminfo
    u32         samples     // samples to desired context
);
Arguments

NameDescription
insrcPointer to the buffer containing the DSP ADPCM encoded sample.
outcxtThe pointer to the ADPCMINFO structure. The getLoopContext function places the loop context information inside this structure.
insamplesThe offset from the starting position of the loop in the sampling data. This loop starting position is not a nibble address, but rather the raw sample number where the loop starts (in other words, the first sample played in the loop).
If the loop begins at the very first sample, the offset is zero. If the loop begins at the 101st sample, the offset is 100.
Return Values
None.
Description
getLoopContext returns the DSP ADPCM loop context, based on the offset in the sample data given to the argument.
encode
Syntax
Code:
typedef struct
{
    // start context
    s16 coef[16];

    ADPCMINFO   *cxt,       // location of adpcm info
    u32         samples     // number of samples to encode
);
Arguments

NameDescription
insrcPointer to the buffer for signed little-endian 16-bit PCM sampling data.
outdstThe pointer to the buffer where the DSP ADPCM encoded data are output.
The application must allocate memory for this buffer. You must calculate the buffer size using getBytesForAdpcmBuffer.
incxtPointer to the ADPCMINFO structure. The encode function stores sampling data coefficients and context information in this structure.
Note that a number of parameters (gain, yn1, and yn2) are always 0.
Before decoding commences, the corresponding registers in the DSP decoder hardware must be cleared. These parameters are included in the structure to force this to happen.
After encode has been called, the loop context parameters always become 0. To set these values, you must call getLoopContext after the sampling data have been looped.
insamplesNumber of samples to encode.
Return Values
None.
Description
encode compresses 16-bit PCM data into DSP ADPCM format.
decode
Syntax
Code:
typedef struct
{
    // start context

    u32         samples // number of samples to decode
);
Arguments

NameDescription
insrcPointer to the buffer containing the DSP ADPCM data.
outdstPointer to a buffer that has been allocated for storing the uncompressed PCM data.
The size of this buffer is calculated by calling getBytesForPcmBuffer.
incxtPointer to the ADPCMINFO structure.
This structure must contain the coefficient and initial state data that corresponds to the sample being decoded.
insamplesNumber of samples to decode.
Return Values

Encoding
The encoding function assumes that the data are 16-bit, little endian, PCM data (as used for Windows .wav files). If you want the application to encode big-endian data, you must flip the endian before encoding.
Code:
//... loaded WaveCodecCtr.dll

//... put some PCM buffer in memory, reverse the endian if you have to
u8 *adpcm = (u8*)malloc(getBytesForAdpcmBuffer(samplesToEncode));

if (adpcm)
{
    ADPCMINFO adpcminfo;

    // ok.. lets encode it!
    encode(source, adpcm, &adpcminfo, samplesToEncode);

    // get ADPCM loop context if sample is looped
    if (samplesToLoopStart)
            getLoopContext(adpcm, &adpcminfo, samplesToLoopStart);

    // see how many bytes to store the encoded data stream
    u32 nBytesToStore = getBytesForAdpcmSamples(samplesToEncode);

    ... store encoded ADPCM data stream to file

    ... store ADPCM context to file

    u32 nibbleStartOffset   = getNibbleAddress(0);
    u32 nibbleLoopStartOffset = getNibbleAddress(samplesToLoopStart);
    u32 nibbleEndAddress  = getNibbleAddress(samplesToEncode);

    ... store nibble addressing to file

    // don't need the ADPCM buffer anymore
    free(adpcm);
}

... continue

    
Decoding
The decoding result is output as 16-bit, little-endian, PCM data.
Code:
... loaded WaveCodecCtr.dll

... put some ADPCM buffer and corresponding ADPCMINFO in memory,
... ADPCM is byte ordered.. not endian sensitive.

s16 *pcm = (u8*)malloc(getBytesForPcmBuffer(samplesToDecode));

if (pcm)
{
    // Decode
    decode(source, pcm, adpcminfo, samplesToDecode);

    ... store decoded PCM buffer to file

    // Free the PCM buffer
    free(pcm);
}

... continue
Cautions for Encoding and Playing Looped Wave Files
Note the following cautions when encoding looped waveforms and when playing them on the actual hardware.
The information relating to encoding also pertains to the use of the nn::snd::EncodeAdpcmData function for encoding data into DSP ADPCM on the actual hardware.
How to Play Regular Looped Waveforms
Align the Loop Start Position to an 8-byte Boundary
Noise When the Loop Start Equals the Start of the Waveform
Noise When the Loop End Equals the End of the Waveform
How to Play Regular Looped Waveforms
When looping a waveform like the following on the actual hardware:
Code:
   WS      LS                     LE
    |-------|<-------------------->|
  
      WS: Start of waveform
      LS: Loop start position
      LE: Loop end position
    [list=1]
    • WaveBuffer for playing WS to LE
    • WaveBuffer for playing LS to LE
    Prepare two WaveBuffer instances (as shown) and set the order as 1. → 2. in nn::snd::Voice.
    [/list]
    Code:
       WS                             LE
     1. |------------------------------|    (When the loopFlag of WaveBuffer is false.)
      
                LS                     LE
     2.         |<-------------------->|    (When the loopFlag of WaveBuffer is true.)
    Align the Loop Start Position to an 8-byte Boundary
    In the DSP ADPCM format, 8 bytes (corresponding to 14 samples) are handled as one set of information. For this reason, the bufferAddress argument of the nn::snd::WaveBuffer function must specify an address with an 8-byte boundary.
    On the other hand, when creating WaveBuffer as described in 2, LS is not necessarily at an 8-byte (14-sample) boundary.
    If the boundary is not 8 bytes (14 samples), you must displace the LS position to an 8-byte boundary so this restriction is satisfied.
    For example, if LS is at the 16th sample, you could slide it to the next 14-sample boundary (28 samples) and top off the waveforms after LE with the moved part before encoding.
    Code:
        LS                  LE
         |<----------------->|
          ^^^^
                    ↓
             LS'                   LE'
         ----|<------------------->|
                               ^^^^
    Noise When the Loop Start Equals the Start of the Waveform
    Because of encoder limitations, when the loop start position equals the start of a waveform, you cannot play a clean loop without noise.
    If the loop start position equals the start of the waveform, use the technique described in Align the loop start position to an 8-byte boundary to slide LS' to 14, so you can play the loop cleanly without noise.
    Noise When the Loop End Equals the End of the Waveform
    Because of encoder limitations, when the loop start position equals the end of a waveform, encoding is not stable and noise occurs.
    When waveforms continue beyond LE, for the samples argument of the encode function, pass WS to end of waveform rather than WS to LE.
    Code:
       WS      LS                     LE   WE
        |-------|<-------------------->|----|
      
          WS:  Start of waveform
          WE : End of waveform
          LS: Loop start position
          LE: Loop end position

        encode( WS address, dst, cxt, WE-WS );
    When waveforms do not continue beyond LE, apply the technique introduced in Align the loop start position to an 8-byte boundary to use copied waveforms for about 100 samples from LS, and position them after LE.
    Code:
       WS      LS                     LE=WE
        |-------|<-------------------->|
                 ^^^^^
                          ↓
        WS      LS                     LE   WE'
        |-------|<-------------------->|----|
                                        ^^^^^

        encode( WS address, dst, cxt, WE'-WS );
    I hope some of this info from the official SDK docs and from vgmstream's code will help in how the header and the coding of the DSP-ADPCM binaries are encoded. ^^

    Thanks! I'll update the ADPCM structures to add the gain field at the beginning and see how it goes.

    EDIT: OK, try the final version of 0.78 I just posted. (Don't be surprised if there's a hotfix later on.)

    Note: you can't update from 0.78rc1 automatically because the updater unzips it to the Lib folder instead of the main folder. Just download it manually and unzip it yourself, and then you should be OK. Updating from 0.77 works except that you have to delete a few files yourself.

    Hi, I just tried version 0.78 and I had a few issues. First, the audio playback seems to have gone worse, or something, because I keep hearing clicks and artifacts. I have only played BRSTM files, although it also happens in the BRSTM loop editor after importing a WAV file. I did try the same file on vgmstream and it plays fine.

    The other issue is that I keep getting the same crash error when playing audio in the background. Apparently I can't seem to be able to send the crash report to Github, so I will post it here.

    Code:
    Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program.
       at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.AllocHGlobal(IntPtr cb)
       at System.Audio.alAudioBuffer.Lock(Int32 offset, Int32 length)
       at System.Audio.AudioBuffer.Fill(IAudioStream source, Int32 samples, Boolean loop)

       at System.Windows.Forms.Timer.TimerNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
       at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

    Again, I have only played BRSTM files. The music keeps playing until I forcefully close the program, though.

    Okay, testing RSTM files... They seem to be out of position in their music offsets, causing the clicking noise.

    Testing CSTMs and FSTMs... It seems there's been no changes between 0.77 and 0.78 in regards to FSTM and CSTM playback. CSTMs with more than one track data are still not supported yet (single track data CSTMs however work without any problems so far), FSTMs still have the clicking noise (since their offsets are still in the same position as in 0.77, no changes have been made).

    Comparing the difference in the changes between 0.77 and 0.78 in regards to RSTM playback, it seems some code has been altered in that area that determines where the waveform offset starts at. I'm glad the bug has been successfully replicated, so now it will be easier to fix the issue with the FSTMs and revert the changes with the RSTMs.

    Also, just to note. The code for FSTMs and CSTMs still has "NW4R Node" in the info, instead of it saying "NW4C Node" or "NW4F Node".

    I think this commit is to blame for the clicking sounds in RSTM playback. It was intended to fix something with the encoding, but I think the decoding needs to be updated now. I don't know why the memory usage would be so high, though.

    https://github.com/libertyernie/brawltools/commit/9eee52703df7d9967f2bc5a369c3536c0e602993 (https://github.com/libertyernie/brawltools/commit/9eee52703df7d9967f2bc5a369c3536c0e602993)

    Also, I'm surprised that CSTM and FSTM would be the same, since I added a field at the beginning of a struct that wasn't there before. Someone might need to take a look at the code and see if they can get it working.

    I found the issue - should be fixed in the next release. It only kicks in when your sound card is using OpenAL (this would include anyone running it on Unix with Mono, I think.) I've got a workaround that is a little confusing to me but it seems to work OK.

    The RSTM artifacts issue will be fixed too. Not sure about CSTM/FSTM.

    I'm pretty sure the same thing that you did to RSTM is identical to the problem that FSTM has. But as for CSTM, it doesn't have any clicking noise, so it doesn't seem to have any issue in it's encoding.

    I just need to find where the code is for encoding CSTMs and FSTMs, then I'll experiment around with them and see if I can fix the issue.

    BrawlLib actually just encodes RSTMs. For CSTM and FSTM, it converts to RSTM when it loads it, and converts from RSTM when it saves. Hopefully the fix will fix FSTMs too (and not break CSTMs.)

    I've just noticed something quite interesting about CSTMs. I've found that Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity's CSTMs use a different encoding than Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon's CSTMs.

    Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon's CSTMs use ADPCM, where as Gates to Infinity's CSTMs use an original NW4C encoding. Probably because the developers of that said game were using a much earlier version of NW4C Soundmaker at the time of developing Gates to Infinity.

    Here's two CSTMs of Ragged Mountain in which I can show you the difference and compare them with the Super Mystery Dungeon's version.

    SEEK begins at 0x160 on the non-ADPCM one (Gates to Infinity), while SEEK begins at 0x140 in ADPCM encoded CSTMs (Super Mystery Dungeon. INFO is located at 0x40 in both versions. It seems the INFO section in the non-ADPCM ones are literally 30 bytes larger than ADPCM ones. And somehow, the program mistakes the non-ADPCM file for having more than one stream, which it clearly doesn't, therefore showing this text:
    Code:
    System.Exception: BCSTM files with more than one track data section are not supported.

    It's probably bringing up this error, because multistream is supported, but it just can't find the extra stream that it the program thinks that it has to initialise and convert to RSTM.

    Perhaps one day in the future, the file responsible for encoding for RSTM can also have CSTM and FSTM variants.

    You don't need a dump to use Brawlbox. That was what I was getting at.

    You don't need a dump to use Smash Forge either. Me, Jam, and Ploaj designed it to function similarly to BBox in that it's a multi file editor. You must be thinking of Sm4shExplorer

     just wanted to praise the python support :)
    that caught me off guard. ;D

    glad to see some extendability brought to brawlbox.

    I hope it's not ironpython though or you'll really be lacking in n areas of support. >.>

    I really, really, really want BrawlBox to have the ability to export BRSTMs as OGG files with loop points and vice versa.

    It seems there is an issue with the model merger when you try to actually merge both models. I can't seem to make it work with v0.78.

    On a side note, I think there was one Brawlbox version before that could export all the Modeldata as a .DAE. Am I remembering it wrong?

     It's been glitchy since at least .76 or earlier, and I think I even remember mentioning it; try using .71 and importing each polygon individually; it works sooooo much better, lol

    Doing it one polygon at a time works.

    It's just not a good option when you're merging 300 models...

    Yeah, I know what you mean, lol :P

    Btw, out of curiosity, any of you guys ever had random vertices poking out of the hip area in game on any model imports before?  Cause two of the guys I'm helping encountered this, and dunno if it has anything to do with Brawlbox, or if it's the rigging or bone data

    (Sorry for the Necro, but hopefully this should warrant a bump.)

    There's a bit of an issue regarding exporting and replacing Material Entries in an SRT0 animation. Said issue is that the Keyframes from the Texture Entries don't import. There's a workaround, but it's very time consuming. This has been an issue ever since BrawlBox supported the SRT0 format.

    This is my current method at the time.
    Quote
    1.) Open FitFighterMotionEtc.pac, and go to their Texture Animations (SRT0).
    2.) Open up the SRT0 of your choice, and add a new Material Entry. Rename it to the material you want.
    3.) Export the Material Entry of the original material, and replace the new Material Entry you just made. Here, you'll see the Texture Entries of the Material ported over, but not the Keyframes themselves.
    4.) Export the Texture Entries from the original Material, and replace the respective Texture Entries in the new Material Entry.
    5.) Rinse and repeat and save when you're done.
    It's a very time consuming process, due to there being at least 100 or so SRT0 animations.
    If the keyframes actually ported over, then step 4 wouldn't be needed, which would save a lot of time.

    It would make things a lot easier if a way could be found to make the Texture Entry keyframes import without this workaround.

    Is it possible to include the functionality that Ikuras was gonna have? The idea is still good.

    I've recently started getting back into MKWii modding, and when I import a model from 3ds Max using Brawlbox v0.78 it adds a null bone that needs deleting, is there a way to prevent this?

    Also is there a way to set default material and shader settings when importing a model? I always have to add lm_0 and lm_1 to the material list and change the shader to 3 stages to match the MKWii models and this becomes particularly time-consuming when importing a lot of models.

    Is there any way to import bones from other models? the Object from an already existing object requires a non-existing bone on my model.

    You can take model A, delete everything in the Objects folder, export that as an mdl0, then in Brawlbox .71, open model B, right- click the MDL0, " Import New Object" or whatever it's called, use default settings, and click OK; it should basically merge the bones, so that, as long as the base hierarchy is the same, the additional bones should be added correctly

    Is there an option to delete multiple keyframes at once on a a single bone when animating in the model previewer?

    While Brawlbox v0.78 can save animation edits made with the Edit All function, the version does not seem to recognize the last frame for some chr animation files.  I am trying to re transition the driver for a Mario Kart Wii mod, and v0.78 does not show the last frame, even though it can show the last frame for other characters.  Is there a way to get it to load the last frame?
