If you use over 120 portraits, and some of those portraits are for Zelda, Sheik, Zero Suit Samus, PKMN Trainer, Charizard, Squirtle, and/or Ivysaur, freezing is likely to occur.
Hey... how do I compress a pac in smash box? Thanks.
Theres an option in the root of the file. It should say:
Compressed: False
Set it to true. Save.
Thanks. I have another question though. I put the "sc_selcharacter.pac" (3.78 MB) in "X:\private\wii\APP\RSBE\pf\menu2". I loaded brawl through gecko os via gecko os 1.9.2. with a file replacement code that supports brstms. I also used this code
But when I went to a character selection screen. The game froze. Any idea what I did wrong?
Try using File Replacement v2.1a for custom CSS. You can also use custom portraits with your custom CSS, but there still is a limit to the number of portraits that you can use.
With the creation of Phantom Wings's CSS Organizer program, I decided to compose this guide for anyone that wants to use custom portraits with their custom CSS.
1: Create a new folder onto the hard drive (preferably the Desktop), and place the files, SSBarc.exe and ntcompress.exe into it.
2: Create your new CSS with CSS Organizer and save it into the folder with SSBarc.exe.
3: Use CUPASH to create your custom common5.pac.
4: Open up common5.pac with SmashBox.
5: With common5.pac opened up, go inside the archive, sc_selcharacter_en. There's an archive, called, char_bust_tex_lz77. Export that archive onto the folder with SSBarc.exe and name it 002.pac.
6: Open up Command Prompt.exe and head to the folder that's containing SSBarc.exe
7: Place 002.pac into sc_selcharacter_en.pac by inputting the code below:
SSBarc.exe sc_selcharacter_en.pac -i 002.pac
OR
SSBBinsert.exe sc_selcharacter_en.pac -i 002.pac
8: Compress the file, sc_selcharacter_en.pac with the code below:
9: You should now have your own PAC file that contains your custom portraits and custom CSS. Finish up by moving sc_selcharacter.pac onto the set directory below:
10: Turn on Super Smash Bros. Brawl, activate your File Replacement code, and you're all set.
Final Notes
1: When using sc_selcharacter.pac, the file, common5.pac, is not used for some reason.
2: Don't place too many custom portraits onto sc_selcharacter.pac. Just like with common5.pac, freezing is likely to occur when you're using too many custom portraits; biggest problems are likely to happen with Zelda, Sheik, Zero Suit Samus, PKMN Trainer, Charizard, Squirtle, and Ivysaur portraits. From what I've witnessed, more than 135 portraits can lead to freezing issues, and that excludes the characters that I just mentioned.
3: Depending on the format of your custom CSS, you may need the CSS Fix code.
4: This does operate properly with the File Replacement v2.1a code. It also works with File Patch Code v3.5.1, as stated by various users from Smashboards.com.
5: So far, this only works with NTSC Wiis. This can't be done with PAL Wiis, due to the fact that the latest File Replacement code for PAL always crashes with the custom portraits.
I hope that this guide will come in handy for anyone.
I'm not seeing anything wrong with your portrait. I tried re-indexing the portrait and I also compressed it so that it used less memory. Try my portrait edit to see if it works. If it still doesn't, try checking to see if you're using too many portraits.
Again, I don't know why you're having this problem since it has never happened to me.
.... Zelda is an awesome character to edit. She is so just ... Zelda XD
I've never even done a Zelda texture before. Even if I had, I would've had to also make a Sheik texture to go with it. Zelda and Sheik are no spring chicken to edit when compared to Peach.
Your new portrait is stored in the newfiles folder, right? Also, don't modify ANY of the portraits in the templates folder; that may be the root of your problems.
Sometimes the computer won't let you delete folders, even if they're not being used. In a case like that, you have no choice but to restart your computer.
Is Photoshop recognizing the image as an Indexed image? If not, you need to reindex it. I don't know what your problem is, but this shouldn't be happening if you did the steps correctly.
Plz change the Jet - Falco - Cursed Portal to "Jet - Falco - Fireking220" without the qoutes. Kitty corp has been reluctent to change it to my real username.
Isn't Cursed Portal your alternate name? Nonetheless, since you requested that I fix the name, I'll do it. In fact, I'll also fix up your name on my Texture Mega Pack thread when I update it again (once I get hold of a few more new textures of course).
