Title: Item modding freeze error.
Post by: Direact_N1 on January 17, 2016, 06:50:39 PM
I used BrawlBox v63 to try and change item textures and stuff. I watched a item modding tutorial and I'm pretty sure I did all of the steps right from it, but upon using my common3 _en in the game, it would freeze on "Online interactions aren't rated." every time.  I used the common3 from Shadow & Canon's item pack, because it came with some cool textures for some items. By itself, it worked, but whenever I added a single item into it while testing, it would freeze. The tutorial said to (Give or take):

-Download texture.

-Extract it.

-Use BrawlBox to replace the item it goes over. (While making sure everything is named correctly, which they are.)

-Save it.

But, after trying about 4 times, freezes. I used Riivoloution like the video maker, too.

The issue is most likely a file size issue. You can try changing common3_en's archive compression to ExtendedLZ77 in Brawlbox to save some space.

I think it may be already on that archive when I checked. At least LZ77, not sure if that's the same as ExtendedLZ77. Thanks for the help, though.

The space saved between ExtendedLZ77 vs LZ77 is actually significant and common3 supports it.

How do I change it to extended, then? I tried clicking various things around the compression style, but they didn't do anything.

Something that I would recommend for item is, well, to remove every texture / palettes for the food item (with the exception to the first texture which the name should end with ".00" if I recall correctly)

In game, the 2d food item will only show the apple, although you'll save some precious filesize in the common3 for others items

Some older versions of Brawlbox won't have ExtendedLZ77 as an option so use a more recent one. You won't notice a difference in file size until you save the file.

I guess v.063 doesn't have that. I'll look around here for a newer one.

EDIT: I found it, it was really easy to find...

Anyway, I set the common3_en to Extended, got a new copy of the item pack, put the rest of the items I wanted in it, and it still crashed on that screen.

If your file size is smaller after importing your item and switching to ExtendedLZ77, then your problem is most likely either the common3 .pac you downloaded or the mod you're trying to add. See if you can successfully switch out a different item from common3.

OK, I put in items a few at a time, and it seems to work. Thanks, and solved.
