I've downloaded the following files into my Brawl hacks, using Riivolution:

Everything seems to work at first. There are ten CSPs for each character in the character menu. The game hasn't frozen on the stage selection loadup or results screen or anything.

The problem is, when I choose a stage, the game will be stuck loading it. The battle won't ever start, the game won't ever freeze, it just gets stuck in the stage selection menu loading whichever stage has been chosen. Doesn't matter if the stage has been replaced or not, the game just stays on the loading screen until I turn the game off. It doesn't even freeze or anything, I can still press the power/reset button and they'll work. For some reason, something is keeping the game from being able to load the battle up.

Stages will occasionally start working for a session, but only under these circumstances:

• The characters being used are the original (00) slots. Even preexisting slots won't work.
• I use the random button to select a stage rather than selecting a stage myself (not 100% sure about this one).
• If Wario is being used, it can be any slot.

Even with these conditions, though, this still barely ever works.

Since Wario doesn't get any new slots from cBliss, I suspect that the game is having trouble dealing with the new slots in battle, even though they already exist in the character menu.

I'm not really sure where to go from here, and I'm not really making any headway with finding the solution to the problem. Any help is appreciated.

Hey all. I've started to notice that anything that requires the common.pac isn't really working out for me.

For example, this Toon Zelda:

and this Midna:
http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=26591

are both turning out way bigger than they should be in game. I tried placing their FitZelda/SheikMotionEtc files in their appropriate folders as well as the common.pac, but neither are working. At the moment, I've started wondering whether or not the game is detecting my common.pac at all.

There is one mention of this file in my Brawl XML, and it looks like this:

Code:

<file external="/private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/system/common.pac" disc="/system/common_en.pac"/>

I don't really know where to go from here. Any kind of help is appreciated.

I've been having issues with a few stages lately. I can usually use stage hacks without any huge issues, I know how to use .rel files and all that, but for some reason, certain stages freeze whenever I try to hack over them.

In particular, Skyworld, Green Hill Zone, and Lylat Cruise have been giving me trouble when I try to port stages over them. After I'll choose the stage in the stage selection screen, my game freezes. I've tried multiple hacks for each stage, even a few which were originally made over the intended stage, but no such luck. The hacks will work over other stages, but for some reason, these three just won't work for me, and I cannot find a reason for it.

On an unrelated note, I can't seem to replace the preview portraits for Hanembow and Mario Bros, either. I made sure that the file sizes were smaller than the original, but even at half the size, they don't seem to be working.

Pls halp

Forgive my stupid question, I'm awful with technology.

My laptop got a nasty little virus a while back, and it ended up bricking my SD Card. I didn't back anything up. I've bought myself a new SD card, my laptop's all good now, and I'm ready to start re-downloading some of the stuff I lost.

I've already got the Homebrew Channel and Riivolution and all that on my Wii, I'm assuming no changes are necessary there?

The main problem I've got here is that I'm not the one who set up the original SD card I used. My friend did it all. I just need to know, is there a particular setup I should be going for with my new SD card? And if so, what do I need to know in order to find out which setup to use?

Also, if I set it up wrong, is there more of a chance that my Wii could get bricked? I just want to make sure it's safe for a computer-stupid person like me to be setting up my Brawl-hackin' SD card.

There are some guides here on how to get started with SD cards. Should I just follow whichever one while ignoring any instructions that involve hacking my already hacked Wii?

Sorry I'm really bad at this and all. I'll draw you guys a giraffe or something to make it up to you.

This is my first time making a texture, so pardon my noobishness.

I'm working on a Pikachu texture with, among other changes, smaller eyes. I've been using Paint.net to make the eyes smaller, and it's (more or less) working fine for me so far.

One problem, though. For some reason, after I made Pikachu's Final Smash eyes smaller, the final smash eye textures didn't stay transparent. In-game, Pikachu with a final smash has two black boxes (along with the eyes) on his face. The images themselves are transparent (instead of black), and I didn't save them under any different file types (as far as I know). I'd just edit them in Paint.net and click save.

The files I'm referring to are Pikachu_eyesyellow.##
00, 01, and 04 are all eye textures (with transparent backgrounds), and are the ones I modified.
02, 03, and 05 are completely transparent and I haven't touched them.

[(SD card)\brawlmods\textures]

Unfortunately, I'm awful at this, and my puny mind cannot comprehend the reason why my downloaded stages aren't working.

So here's a bit of a back story, I got this whole Riivolution Homebrew whatchamacallit from my friend, and it's been working fairly well for me up until now. When he first set it up, I think he might have moved the folders around a bit (which might be the reason for my problem) in order to help me understand how everything works better.

Under this folder:
(SD card)\brawlmods\textures
I had the folders fighter, menu, menu2, music, and system. Besides music (which I haven't tested yet), all other folders seem to work fine with their hacks. I have been adding characters successfully.

Well, I wanted to add some stages, so I went out and downloaded a bunch, learned about REL files, added the appropriate folders, all that jazz. It didn't work the first time, so I copied the Stage folder to two more areas and the Module folder to one other area, so that if it worked at all, I'd only have to delete the non-working folders. I even downloaded a default Final Destination stage to make sure it wasn't the REL file that was screwing with me.

Each stage and module folder had the same stage and REL files. Here are the three areas where my stage files are located:
(SD card)\brawlmods\textures\stage\melee
(SD card)\brawlmods\stages\melee
(SD card)\private\wii\app\RSBE\pf\stage\melee
And here are the areas where my module files are located:
(SD card)\brawlmods\textures\Module
(SD card)\private\wii\app\RSBE\pf\Module
The red text represents the folders I added as I was copying the stage and module files. They did not exist beforehand. There isn't anything in these red folders besides the files I mentioned.

My item hack is here (I only have one, for food):
(SD card)\brawlmods\textures\item\tabemono
I have a feeling it's not working for the same reason stages aren't working, I just need to find out what that reason is.

I'm fairly certain I'm using the right names for these files, but just to avoid any doubt, here are a few examples.
ItmTabemonoBrres (PAC file found under the tabemono folder)
STGFINAL (PAC file found in the three melee folders I mentioned above)
If I were to guess, I'm probably missing some system file/folder somewhere that lets me replace this kind of stuff. I'm not too sure, though.

Thanks!
