[Official] Brawlbox Development: v0.68b Updated

[Carnage]

if this article stuff works i hope we can have a button in bb that says import article and choose a char pac file / motion and take all the models/floating points like mario fireball and etc

but i hope you can awnser my quest about how we can add a visivility bone that  works with model changer 0-3 for example

[BlackJax96]

how would we go about adding the visibility bones? and make them work with model changer in psa?now im curious also so far you discovered how to triger lets say generate article X so we can generate the article but he doesnt have floating points yet im i right? also i think the floating points references might be in the rel or something

Ok, you asked for an explanation:

This is the model visibility section:

And this is the Model Changer 1:

When you change the Bone Group ID value, the other bone groups located in the switch will be turned off. If you set it to a number higher or less than the group count, all the groups will be invisible. Each switch contains groups of bones that control which polygons will be toggled on or off.

Model changer 1 uses the switches in Reference 1 while Model changer 2 uses the switches in Reference 2.

The default group value in each switch determines what group of bones should be visible at the start of every animation.

As for generating articles, there's an event for that. Each article has an ID so that's what the event calls. You can modify existing floating points but I'm just now sure how to add new ones that are attached to a new article yet. That's all. Just because I don't know how yet doesn't mean there's no way. ;O

WHOA! The title changed again.
Anyway, I am still hyped, can't wait for the new BB to come out. Please, HURRY UP!

this

man you are so freaking epic, with out you nothing would be possible

PS: please dont die

I'm going as fast as possible and don't worry I won't die.

Thread lurk oath broken. I'm here to give you an ultimately very generic yet brutally truthful exclamation of joy and hype that I detect may or may not be greater than or equal to the proclamations exclaimed before it.

All of my yes.

Keep up the good work.

Y'know, with this PSA stuff on the edge we're getting back to 4-5 pages a day, like back when model importing was in the same position. And now you drop the Article possibility on us?

The hype levels are maxed out lol.

Indeed

nice tutorial but i cant expand the model visibility in 66b so i guess it works only on the 67  you have there? xD

I try not to sound rude, and looking back on that one, I might have sounded mean, I apologize. And it's good to hear that you won't die, though I have no idea what you mean by that.
I must have missed something again. :facepalm:
Or are you secretly part of some mafia? o3o

There must be a way that the articles connect to the extra float/int values but I'm not sure of that yet.
Articles have their own animations, subactions + flags and actions + flags anyway so it should be fine.

They do that via the .rel files somehow.

Some articles have special references in the .rel files to call the floats, but others like MK have articles with no special coding.

Soo..... yeah.

While it is one step closer to articles, we aren't there yet.

I think another thing to consider is how to add it to the PSA file and how to make the slot READ the right .brres file.

[KingJigglypuff]

BJ, I have another question. For example, ZSS's grab makes her go through the entire animation once the grab connects, will this BB be able to fix it so that we could make ZSS's grab a normal one?

[BlackJax96]

You can't know for sure just yet. I'm making progress on DOL and REL anyway though, so it's just a matter of time.

Really though, I think adding new articles with new brres files in the MotionEtc will work. I wouldn't be so pessimistic

Also, this:

Brawlbox v0.67... hardcore stuff. I think this is the most hex parsing I've ever done.

[Anonymous]

Action 0? tell me this means we can change things like smashes and jabs even more.

[KnightMario]

all of my hype

[Naruto200Man]

*Hands you a bowl of Chicken Soup*
Now get your lazy ass better again so you can work better on brawlbox >=3

lol JK
But still, adding articles and whatnot...epic [censored]...
Oh, and rell editing...that would be nice, say hello to porting characters without codes >=3

I encountered an error.  Noticed this just today.  Whenever trying to preview any model, I get a "Value must not be null" error box with this.

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

just hit continue, close the viewer, and hit preview again and it will work.

[SOJ]

It didn't work.  There was something really weird with my system.  Did a system restore and that fixed the problem...no idea what could have happened.

[Carnage]

fighter pack suport seems nice xDaltough changing something there affects all the chars right?
