I was just thinking... if I would upload some texture hacks that work for me, but not for others, that would be bad...

I don't really know if there's a way to test them... except playing online against somebody for testing if they work online, or maybe have an old File Replacement code in the RSBE01.gct file.

Is there maybe a topic that states all the things you need to do before you upload something and how to test stuff to make sure it works? And all the things I have to test first to meet the standarts of this page?


For an example, I've "made" an character who is really invisible when I play her and play against her, with no freezes, and I thaught it would be kinda nice to have a character like that to take some pictures like...

a character holding "nothing",
a character floating because an invisible character is holding him,
getting hit by nothing,
effects when you hit "nothing" (invisible vs invisible),
and more.

Here's a video to that character. Works fine with me. Not in the invisble Zelda version though, when I roll around, my character gives out long lines and make the game freeze. =/ Oh and don't judge me on that video, I haven't played for several months. oO Tested yes, acutally played no. xD


I want to upload more than that but before I do, I just want to know what I need to know, so I'm allowed to load it up. ^^

[So my question is:]

Hi, I have this problem and I wonder if anyone can fix it... it's harder than I thaught.

I was wondering if it's possible to create a "green screen" where you could make the background transparent. By doing so, I could create transparent pictures, animated SSBB smilies, or videos where the character has a custom/different background etc.

Like this for an example ->

Why? Because I love testing out stuff and I'm always bored. xD


OK, I have recolored all custom stage parts including the background and it works... sort of.

Only problem is that the background gives the character a green glow, thus if I make green transparent, a part of the character will turn transparent/invisible as well. That animation above, for an example, could have been better if I wouldn't have had that green border, which I made gray, (which is why that character glows)


Here is a video, where you can see my problem in action.

By the way, I'm inexperienced when it comes to making videos. ^^"
Oh, and in the first 45 seconds is a test, so I can see if I can have a video playing behind another video. ^^

When the character zooms out, you can definetly see the problem.


So my question is:

Is it possible to remove the glow from a stage?
Or can you replace the green glow with... a black or white glow but still have a green background?
Or is it possible to remove the characters... background copying ability thingy? ^^
And is it possible to have a stage where everything is green even when you turn the camera? (with that I mean turn the camera more than 180 degree left/right/up/down)

I would be very happy if someone could solve this problem. In return, that person could/should ask me a favor or something else in return. ^^

PS: I took my time making everything as easy to understand as possible, because I'm known for being confusing and receiving more questions than answers. ^^

Oh, and I chose a random music, in case your wondering. I had no idea what to choose at that moment and I always edit longer messages because I make too many errors in spelling, sentence structure, etc.


I know, I know, I write way too much and I'm sorry for that, it's just a habit. ^^ If your wondering how I colorized the text like this, unstead of words like green I used Hex colors like #00ff00. Here is a small chart with 256 colors in case you want to try some out without spamming of course. ^^ I think there are 16,777,216 colors in Hex, RGB, etc.
