    Yeah, the flags don't need to be visible. They're all calculated automatically.

    • HasGeometry: there is at least one node user (Users.Count > 0) or at least one object rigged only to this bone (SingleBindObjects.Length > 0). Not quite sure what this means exactly.

    This means the bone influences at least one vertex (Users) or a whole object (SingleBindObjects). If HasGeometry isn't set it means that the bone is only influencing child bones and has no direct effect on any vertices.

    Bone Flags can be used to make added bones stationary without the need to add a keyframe to it. This helps out most with costumes with added bones, like with the Kart R.O.B. alt in Project M. Even some vBrawl bones have different Bone Flags.

    Examples:

    Both these bones do not have geometry and are used for Stage Position parameters.

    Edit: Here's an in-game example to further show what I mean.
    This screencap shows the Lucario Final Smash placement bone on a Boss Battle stage. Without editing the Bone Flags  to "FixedRotation, FixedScale, Common5, Visible", then Lucario wouldn't have went to that point, but rather, the game would act like the bone was at 0, 0, 0, rather than 0, 100, 0.

    I still don't get it, the flags on those bones are set as they should be. What do you change them to to achieve whatever you're talking about?

    To further specify, the bottom image in the first spoiler wasn't originally set to "FixedRotation, FixedScale, Common5, Visible". I had to manually set them to what I wanted. The only way to do this is to use v0.67.

    The Bone Flags of a newly added bone are the following: "NoTransform, FixedTranslation, FixedRotation, FixedScale, Common5, Visible"

    If this was going to be a new bone for something like an effect or if something were rigged to it, unless you made an animation (i.e. Keyframe), the game would treat the bone placements as 0, 0, 0 for Translation and Rotation, and 1, 1, 1 for Scale.

    I'm not sure how else I can elaborate on this.

    Do you have a link to some sort of specification for the header formats?

    I assume vgmstream doesn't have this problem, right?

    I'm pretty sure vgmstream doesn't have this issue. And neither does Uwizard.

    As for specifications, I can't actually find any, but the closest I can get to, in regards to this format is here: https://gitlab.kode54.net/kode54/vgmstream/blob/master/src/meta/bcstm.c and here: https://gitlab.kode54.net/kode54/vgmstream/blob/master/src/meta/bfstm.c

    I would assume there might be some documentation in the NW4C and NW4F official SoundMaker documents. I'll check them out and post it here when I've found it.

    Edit: Found it!

    Cafe DSP-ADPCM Stream (FSTM):
    Quote
    3 Data formats
    3.1 WAV files DSPADPCM converts standard WAV files into DSP-ADPCM format. The WAV files must contain mono, 16-bit PCM data.  

    3.2 AIFF files DSPADPCM can also convert AIFF files into DSP-ADPCM format. The AIFF files must contain mono, 16-bit PCM data.  Note: Loop points in the AIFF file will be read automatically and programmed into the header of the DSP-ADPCM output file.

    3.3 DSP-ADPCM files When converting data into DSP-ADPCM format, the tool will preface the output data with a header. The structure of the header is defined below:

    Code 1 - DSPADPCM header file
     
    Code:
    // all data in this structure is in BIG ENDIAN FORMAT!!!!
     
    typedef struct
    {
    // for header generation during decode
         u32 num_samples;       // total number of RAW samples
         u32 num_adpcm_nibbles; // number of ADPCM nibbles (including frame headers)
         u32 sample_rate;       // Sample rate, in Hz
     
    // DSP addressing and decode context
         u16 loop_flag;    // 1=LOOPED, 0=NOT LOOPED
         u16 format;       // Always 0x0000, for ADPCM
         u32 sa;           // Start offset address for looped samples (zero for non-looped)
         u32 ea;           // End offset address for looped samples
         u32 ca;           // always zero
         u16 coef[16];     // decode coefficients (eight pairs of 16-bit words)
     
    // DSP decoder initial state
         u16 gain;         // always zero for ADPCM
         u16 ps;           // predictor/scale
         u16 yn1;          // sample history
         u16 yn2;          // sample history
     
    // DSP decoder loop context
         u16 lps;          // predictor/scale for loop context
         u16 lyn1;         // sample history (n-1) for loop context
         u16 lyn2;         // sample history (n-2) for loop context
     
         u16 pad[11];      // reserved
     
    } DSPADPCM;
     
    // Header is 96 bytes long

    This header contains information needed by the Nintendo Cafe audio DSP to decode and play the associated sample.  
    Note: All data in the header is stored in big-endian format. This facilitates transfer of the data to a Nintendo Cafe runtime application. Much of the data may be used verbatim to program the DSP for sample playback. Consult the Audio Library (AX) section in this guide for application details. When decoding DSP-ADPCM data into WAV or AIFF format, the tool will assume that this header is present at the start of the DSP-ADPCM file. The DSPADPCM tool needs the first two parameters of the header to regenerate WAV header information during decode:
     
    num_samplesNumber of raw, uncompressed samples in the file. Used for WAV/AIFF header generation during decode.
    num_adpcm_nibbles Number of ADPCM nibbles (including frame headers) generated for this sample.
    Note:You must round this up to the next multiple of 8 bytes to get the actual length of the data in the file because DSPADPCM only generates complete frames.
    sampling_rateSampling rate of the data, expressed in Hertz. Used for WAV/AIFF header generation during decode.

    The remaining parameters are required by the audio DSP to decode and play the associated ADPCM sample data:
     
    loop_flagSpecifies whether or not the sample is looped. This parameter is stored in big-endian format and is used by the DSP for sample playback.
    formatSpecifies the data format of the sample. Always zero. Used by the DSP for sample playback.
    saLoop start offset, in nibbles. The user application must add the main memory address of the sample data before the DSP can use it.
    eaLoop end offset, in nibbles. The user application must add the main memory address of the sample data before the DSP can use it.
    caInitial offset value, in nibbles. Always zero. The user application must add the main memory address of the sample data before the DSP can use it.
    coef[16]Decoder coefficients. This coefficient corresponds to AXPBADPCM Structure member a[][] in the following way.
    a[0][0] = coef[0];
    a[0][1] = coef[1];
    a[1][0] = coef[2];
    a[1][1] = coef[3];
    a[2][0] = coef[4];
    a[2][1] = coef[5];
    a[3][0] = coef[6];
    a[3][1] = coef[7];
    a[4][0] = coef[8];
    a[4][1] = coef[9];
    a[5][0] = coef[10];
    a[5][1] = coef[11];
    a[6][0] = coef[12];
    a[6][1] = coef[13];
    a[7][0] = coef[14];
    a[7][1] = coef[15];
    gainGain factor. Always zero for ADPCM samples. ps Predictor and scale. This will be initialized to the predictor and scale value of the sample’s first frame.
    yn1History data; used to maintain decoder state during sample playback.
    yn2History data; used to maintain decoder state during sample playback.
    lpsPredictor/scale for the loop point frame. If the sample does not loop, this value is zero.
    lyn1History data for the loop point. If the sample does not loop, this value is zero.
    lyn2History data for the loop point. If the sample does not loop, this value is zero.

     
     
    Some notes about decoder addressing:
    • When processing ADPCM samples, the DSP will address memory as 4-bit nibbles.
    • The values for sa, ea, and ca generated by DSPADPCM are nibble-offsets which already account for the extra space needed for ADPCM frame headers. For example, the one hundredth sample does not
      refer to the one hundredth nibble in the sample data; the one hundredth sample would actually be the one hundred-sixteenth nibble.
    • The sa, ea, and ca values are offsets. When encoding data, DSPADPCM cannot know where the sample will be placed in memory. The user application is therefore responsible for adding a main memory address (in nibbles) to these offsets before the DSP can access the sample.
    • Note that individual ADPCM sound effects must start on 8-byte boundaries and must be at least a multiple of 8 bytes in length. Thus, when loading one or more ADPCM samples into memory, the samples must be packed such that the start of each sample falls on an 8-byte boundary.

    CTR DSP-ADPCM Stream (CSTM):

    Overview
    WaveCodecCtr.dll is a Win32 run-time dynamic link library (DLL). This library provides an API for encoding and decoding between 16-bit signed (little-endian) sampling data and the DSP ADPCM compressed format.
    The DSP ADPCM format is a compressed format that can be played by a CTR system's DSP. It can result in data sizes that are 1/3.5 of 16-bit PCM. This format can be used through the nn::snd::Voice class and the nn::snd::WaveBuffer structure.
    This DLL is for developers who want to develop their own tools for creating and previewing DSP ADPCM sampling data. Note that this DLL is single-threaded.
    ctr_WaveConverter uses the features of this DLL to create BCWAV files in ADPCM format.

    getBytesForAdpcmBuffer
    Syntax
    Code:
    u32 getBytesForAdpcmBuffer(u32 samples);
    Arguments

    NameDescription
    insamplesNumber of (16-bit PCM) samples to encode.

    Note that the number of bytes will be a multiple of the 8-byte length of DSP ADPCM frames.
    The actual length (in bytes) of the sampling data being encoded will probably be smaller than the value returned by this function. (For more information, see the section getBytesForAdpcmSamples.)
    Use this function before encoding to allocate storage for the result.
    getBytesForAdpcmSamples
    Syntax
    Code:
    u32 getBytesForAdpcmSamples(u32 samples);
    Arguments

    NameDescription
    insamplesNumber of (16-bit PCM) samples to encode.
    Return Values
    The actual length (in bytes) of the encoded sampling data.
    Description
    getBytesForAdpcmSamples returns the actual number of bytes occupied by the sampling data that are being DSP ADPCM-encoded.
    getBytesForPcmBuffer
    Syntax
    Code:
    u32 getBytesForPcmBuffer(u32 samples);

    Arguments

    NameDescription
    insamplesThe number of samples being decoded.
    Return Values
    The predicted length (in bytes) of the DSP ADPCM sampling data being decoded.
    Description
    getBytesForPcmBuffer calculates and returns the number of bytes of data that must be stored after the number of samples passed in the argument have been decoded from the DSP ADPCM format.
    getBytesForPcmSamples
    Syntax
    Code:
    u32 getBytesForPcmSamples(u32 samples);
    Arguments

    NameDescription
    insamplesNumber of samples.
    Return Values
    The length (in bytes) of the value specified in the sampling data.

    Syntax
    Code:
    u32 getSampleForAdpcmNibble(u32 nibble);
    Arguments

    NameDescription
    innibbleADPCM nibble offset, including frame headers.
    Return Values
    The zero-based sample index for the corresponding ADPCM sampling data.

    getNibbleAddress
    Syntax
    Code:
    u32 getNibbleAddress(u32 samples);

    insamples16-bit PCM address offset. 0 is the first sample. 100 is the 101st sample.
    Return Values
    Corresponding nibble address.
    Description
    getNibbleAddress calculates and returns the nibble corresponding to the sampling data, as based on the offset passed to the argument.
    For example, the 100th sample (where the count starts at 0) corresponds to the 116th nibble (where the count also starts at 0). Note that the calculated nibble address incorporates the 2-nibble frame header that is already in DSP ADPCM compressed format.
    One more example: The 0th sample corresponds to a nibble offset of 2, which is the 3rd nibble (counting from 0).
    getLoopContext
    Syntax
    Code:
    typedef struct
    {
        // start context
        s16 coef[16];
        u16 gain;
        u16 pred_scale;
        s16 yn1;

    outcxtThe pointer to the ADPCMINFO structure. The getLoopContext function places the loop context information inside this structure.
    insamplesThe offset from the starting position of the loop in the sampling data. This loop starting position is not a nibble address, but rather the raw sample number where the loop starts (in other words, the first sample played in the loop).
    If the loop begins at the very first sample, the offset is zero. If the loop begins at the 101st sample, the offset is 100.
    Return Values
    None.
    Description
    getLoopContext returns the DSP ADPCM loop context, based on the offset in the sample data given to the argument.
    encode
    Syntax
    Code:
    typedef struct
    {
        // start context
        s16 coef[16];
        u16 gain;
        u16 pred_scale;
        s16 yn1;
        s16 yn2;

        // loop context
        u16 loop_pred_scale;
        s16 loop_yn1;
        s16 loop_yn2;

        u8          *dst,       // location of destination buffer
        ADPCMINFO   *cxt,       // location of adpcm info
        u32         samples     // number of samples to encode
    );
    Arguments

    NameDescription
    insrcPointer to the buffer for signed little-endian 16-bit PCM sampling data.
    outdstThe pointer to the buffer where the DSP ADPCM encoded data are output.
    The application must allocate memory for this buffer. You must calculate the buffer size using getBytesForAdpcmBuffer.
    incxtPointer to the ADPCMINFO structure. The encode function stores sampling data coefficients and context information in this structure.
    Note that a number of parameters (gain, yn1, and yn2) are always 0.
    Before decoding commences, the corresponding registers in the DSP decoder hardware must be cleared. These parameters are included in the structure to force this to happen.
    After encode has been called, the loop context parameters always become 0. To set these values, you must call getLoopContext after the sampling data have been looped.
    insamplesNumber of samples to encode.
    Return Values
    None.
    Description
    encode compresses 16-bit PCM data into DSP ADPCM format.
    decode

        u16 loop_pred_scale;
        s16 loop_yn1;
        s16 loop_yn2;
    } ADPCMINFO;

    void decode(
        u8          *src,   // location of encoded source samples
        s16         *dst,   // location of destination buffer (16 bits / sample)
        ADPCMINFO   *cxt,   // location of adpcm info
        u32         samples // number of samples to decode
    );
    Arguments

    NameDescription
    insrcPointer to the buffer containing the DSP ADPCM data.
    outdstPointer to a buffer that has been allocated for storing the uncompressed PCM data.

    Encoding
    The encoding function assumes that the data are 16-bit, little endian, PCM data (as used for Windows .wav files). If you want the application to encode big-endian data, you must flip the endian before encoding.
    Code:
    //... loaded WaveCodecCtr.dll

    //... put some PCM buffer in memory, reverse the endian if you have to
    u8 *adpcm = (u8*)malloc(getBytesForAdpcmBuffer(samplesToEncode));

    if (adpcm)
    {
        ADPCMINFO adpcminfo;

        // ok.. lets encode it!
        encode(source, adpcm, &adpcminfo, samplesToEncode);

        // get ADPCM loop context if sample is looped
        if (samplesToLoopStart)
                getLoopContext(adpcm, &adpcminfo, samplesToLoopStart);

        // see how many bytes to store the encoded data stream
        u32 nBytesToStore = getBytesForAdpcmSamples(samplesToEncode);

        ... store encoded ADPCM data stream to file

        ... store ADPCM context to file

        u32 nibbleStartOffset   = getNibbleAddress(0);
        u32 nibbleLoopStartOffset = getNibbleAddress(samplesToLoopStart);
        u32 nibbleEndAddress  = getNibbleAddress(samplesToEncode);

        ... store nibble addressing to file

        // don't need the ADPCM buffer anymore
        free(adpcm);
    }

    ... continue

        
    Decoding
    The decoding result is output as 16-bit, little-endian, PCM data.
    Code:
    ... loaded WaveCodecCtr.dll

    ... put some ADPCM buffer and corresponding ADPCMINFO in memory,
    ... ADPCM is byte ordered.. not endian sensitive.

    s16 *pcm = (u8*)malloc(getBytesForPcmBuffer(samplesToDecode));

    if (pcm)
    {
        // Decode
        decode(source, pcm, adpcminfo, samplesToDecode);

        ... store decoded PCM buffer to file

        // Free the PCM buffer
        free(pcm);
    }

    ... continue
    Cautions for Encoding and Playing Looped Wave Files
    Note the following cautions when encoding looped waveforms and when playing them on the actual hardware.
    The information relating to encoding also pertains to the use of the nn::snd::EncodeAdpcmData function for encoding data into DSP ADPCM on the actual hardware.
    How to Play Regular Looped Waveforms
    Align the Loop Start Position to an 8-byte Boundary
    Noise When the Loop Start Equals the Start of the Waveform
    Noise When the Loop End Equals the End of the Waveform
    How to Play Regular Looped Waveforms
    When looping a waveform like the following on the actual hardware:
    Code:
       WS      LS                     LE
        |-------|<-------------------->|
      
          WS: Start of waveform
          LS: Loop start position
          LE: Loop end position
      [list=1]
      • WaveBuffer for playing WS to LE
      • WaveBuffer for playing LS to LE
      Prepare two WaveBuffer instances (as shown) and set the order as 1. → 2. in nn::snd::Voice.
      [/list]
      Code:
         WS                             LE
       1. |------------------------------|    (When the loopFlag of WaveBuffer is false.)
        
                  LS                     LE
       2.         |<-------------------->|    (When the loopFlag of WaveBuffer is true.)
      Align the Loop Start Position to an 8-byte Boundary
      In the DSP ADPCM format, 8 bytes (corresponding to 14 samples) are handled as one set of information. For this reason, the bufferAddress argument of the nn::snd::WaveBuffer function must specify an address with an 8-byte boundary.
      On the other hand, when creating WaveBuffer as described in 2, LS is not necessarily at an 8-byte (14-sample) boundary.
      If the boundary is not 8 bytes (14 samples), you must displace the LS position to an 8-byte boundary so this restriction is satisfied.
      For example, if LS is at the 16th sample, you could slide it to the next 14-sample boundary (28 samples) and top off the waveforms after LE with the moved part before encoding.
      Code:
          LS                  LE
           |<----------------->|
            ^^^^
                      ↓
               LS'                   LE'
           ----|<------------------->|
                                 ^^^^
      Noise When the Loop Start Equals the Start of the Waveform
      Because of encoder limitations, when the loop start position equals the start of a waveform, you cannot play a clean loop without noise.
      If the loop start position equals the start of the waveform, use the technique described in Align the loop start position to an 8-byte boundary to slide LS' to 14, so you can play the loop cleanly without noise.
      Noise When the Loop End Equals the End of the Waveform
      Because of encoder limitations, when the loop start position equals the end of a waveform, encoding is not stable and noise occurs.
      When waveforms continue beyond LE, for the samples argument of the encode function, pass WS to end of waveform rather than WS to LE.
      Code:
         WS      LS                     LE   WE
          |-------|<-------------------->|----|
        
            WS:  Start of waveform
            WE : End of waveform
            LS: Loop start position
            LE: Loop end position

          encode( WS address, dst, cxt, WE-WS );
      When waveforms do not continue beyond LE, apply the technique introduced in Align the loop start position to an 8-byte boundary to use copied waveforms for about 100 samples from LS, and position them after LE.
      Code:
         WS      LS                     LE=WE
          |-------|<-------------------->|
                   ^^^^^
                            ↓
          WS      LS                     LE   WE'
          |-------|<-------------------->|----|
                                          ^^^^^

          encode( WS address, dst, cxt, WE'-WS );
      I hope some of this info from the official SDK docs and from vgmstream's code will help in how the header and the coding of the DSP-ADPCM binaries are encoded. ^^

      Thanks! I'll update the ADPCM structures to add the gain field at the beginning and see how it goes.

      EDIT: OK, try the final version of 0.78 I just posted. (Don't be surprised if there's a hotfix later on.)

      Note: you can't update from 0.78rc1 automatically because the updater unzips it to the Lib folder instead of the main folder. Just download it manually and unzip it yourself, and then you should be OK. Updating from 0.77 works except that you have to delete a few files yourself.

      Hi, I just tried version 0.78 and I had a few issues. First, the audio playback seems to have gone worse, or something, because I keep hearing clicks and artifacts. I have only played BRSTM files, although it also happens in the BRSTM loop editor after importing a WAV file. I did try the same file on vgmstream and it plays fine.

      The other issue is that I keep getting the same crash error when playing audio in the background. Apparently I can't seem to be able to send the crash report to Github, so I will post it here.

      Code:
      Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program.
         at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.AllocHGlobal(IntPtr cb)
         at System.Audio.alAudioBuffer.Lock(Int32 offset, Int32 length)
         at System.Audio.AudioBuffer.Fill(IAudioStream source, Int32 samples, Boolean loop)
         at System.Audio.AudioBuffer.Fill()
         at System.Windows.Forms.AudioPlaybackPanel.tmrUpdate_Tick(Object sender, EventArgs e)
         at System.Windows.Forms.Timer.OnTick(EventArgs e)
         at System.Windows.Forms.Timer.TimerNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
         at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

      Again, I have only played BRSTM files. The music keeps playing until I forcefully close the program, though.

      While saving after using Edit All was fixed, you still need to make a modification to an animation if you want to save after cleaning it.

      So I downloaded Brawlbox v0.78 and tried to import Giratina's Origin Forme from XY into Brawlbox but the bones are still imported like this.

      um, so i played a BRSTM in the new version for a minute and...

      it started clicking and stuttering a lot, the file is 18mb
      it actually reached over 700mb when i got done selecting the part of the screen i'm showing

      You said in an earlier post that you exported it from 3DS Max; would you mind uploading just a screenshot of it in Max?

      He asked me about that issue earlier, and he was able to solve it by exporting the DAE from BrawlBox, and re-importing that same DAE.
