Well, I just started getting into Brawl modding literally three days ago from the time of this post.
In this time, I've spent hours watching and reading tutorial videos.
To start, I HAVE done model/texture replacements, and I know how to change CSP's and BP's and such using Wiiscrubber and BrawlBox. I followed a very handy tutorial video and used their example file to figure this out. However, I cannot find any clear and mildly simplistic tutorials on how to do certain actions.
Mind you, I am running this on Dolphin Emulator, as my Wii no longer functions, and I know how to boot Gecko OS, I just haven't gotten anything to work with Gecko.
The things I'm looking to do are:

1. How to ADD NEW skin slots and CSP's, instead of just replacing them. I have Brawl Box and Wiiscrubber, is that all I need to do this? Will I need Gecko to use them, or can I directly mod the ISO as I did to get the skin and CSP?

2. Add completely NEW characters. I understand this is possible, albeit with the clone generator. I do have BrawlEx, and I believe all of its related tools, I just don't understand how to use them. In particular, I was interested in adding Cloud as a test, and I haven't gotten it to work yet. I'll link the exact file if need be. They're called PSA's, if what I've read is true. What tools will I need to semi-easily do this? Will this also require Gecko, or can I just directly mod the ISO? I know almost nothing about this, so treat me like an idiot when it comes to this.

3. Add completely new stages. I think I understand how to replace them,  but I'd like to know how to add more. Assume I'm stupid on this topic too.

I don't expect anyone to sit down with me and explain everything, but if someone could point me to some tutorials for these things please do. I've read the tutorials "For Noobs" on these threads, and they didn't help much.
To recap, I have BrawlEx, BrawlBox, WiiScrubber, an SDcard maker, Gecko, BrawlBuilder, and as many ISO's of brawl as I need. You can reach me at my email if you don't want to deal with the thread reply stuff.

All I want are pointers to tutorials to help me, or direct help if someone is willing. Once I get the information, I'd like to help others who need it as well.

On another side note, I'm not interested in downloading a pack (such as PM or Infinite) as these tutorials are everywhere. I like Brawl's balancing and such as it is, I'd just like to edit the characters and stages, and maybe add a handful of new characters.

Thanks in advance, and sorry this post is so long. I'm not used to thread boards like this Tongue

    Hello and welcome to KC-MM. Grin

    To get started you should visit HERE. It will show you everything you need to know when it comes to brawl modding. If you are willing and able, and have free time, then you should check it out. It's a long explanation but if you read it carefully, and follow the instructions correctly, you'll be modding in no time. If you haven't already, check out the RULES. Also, make sure when you submit something in the vault that you have up to date gameplay images of your work.

    Have a nice day, and we hope to see your work in the future.

    I have followed that tutorial, but I still cannot get mods to load via sd card. Gecko, on Dolphin, does recognize the sd card, and even loads the RSBE01 file. But I can't get it to load any replacement files. I know how to go into the ISO and replace things, but I want to just be able to put it on the sd card and load it like it says. But, even though it recognizes the sd card, and gecko loads RSBE01, it won't load any pcs or pac files, or anything else really.
    I decided to try just replacing a skin via sd loading to start, so I followed that tutorial and it still didn't work. I put the RSBE01 into the codes folder, and the snake replacement skin into the folder in pf/fighter/snake, I have boot.elf on the root (even though I don't need it thanks to Dolphin) and I still can't get it to load the files at all.

    What SD device do you use?

    So you're using Dolphin to load the games on your PC right? If you have a Wii, you can load hacks using Riivolution for SDHC type of SD cards, but if you're trying to load the game on the PC, make sure the SD isn't SDHC and that you have the right codes fitted to the region of the ISO you are loading.

    In other words, it might be the SD card, or you might be loading the wrong codes.

    I got a virtual sd card maker, and I can check to see if its SDHC. How would I know if it's a problem with the codes? I copy and pasted the ones they provided in that tutorial and then converted it into a RSBE01 gct file. Are there any other codes I should have to load mods?
    Also, the sd card did load the extra slots codes, but not the files to make the extra slots; I had extra blank slots on the css for every character's costumes, but none of the costumes I was trying to load. Could it still be a problem with my virtual sd card?
    I would use my wii, but it got a problem where it won't load any disc based games.

    I don't know a lot about BrawlEx, and I don't know if the codes react to the PC the same way they do with the Wii.

    What do you mean it won't launch disc based games? Are you saying your Nintendo Wii won't read discs? If you're PAL BrawlEx won't work. If your using a PAL version of Brawl, then that could be the cause of the issue. If you're sure you are using the US version (and not any other) then I don't know why it isn't working for you. (Do not link any ISOs, ROMs or other similar material as it is against the forums rules)

    If it's not the SD card acting up, then I don't know how to help you. I use Riivolution on the Wii with a SDHC SD card. I'm not an expert with dolphin, but I believe the codes were meant to be used for the Wii, and not the PC. I could be wrong, but I think that's the reason it's not working properly.

    alright, well, thanks for your time. I still can't get it to load from normal brawl, but I can from Project M.
    If you're into Project M, can you tell me where to get the hybrid air dodge/brawl air dodge code?
    The only reason I was avoiding Project M is that I hate the air dodge mechanic they implemented, and I highly prefer the normal Brawl air dodge.
    using the Project M iso builder, I can get new skins and maybe even characters to work (haven't tried characters as of yet) and my only complaint is the air dodge.

    I can't use PM, I am a PAL user and no one has explained whether or not it possible for PAL users to use PM, so I assume it's not.

    What's the problem with the air dodge, and why would it be a code? I thought everything was edited and placed in folders.

    I.E; PF/Fighter/Mario/fitmario.pac etc.

    The air dodge in PM is like Melee, where you can only dodge once and once you dodge you enter helpless state.
    It's supposed to encourage more Melee-like play, and let you wavedash, but I prefer an actual dodge over edgy wavedashes. It's useless as a dodge right now.
    I'm used to Smash 4 and Brawl's air dodge.

    Be warned, however, that R.O.B. does not have a helpless animation, so the game will crash if this is done with R.O.B..

    I'm surprised you didn't find this sooner, unless you had this code and wanted a different one.

    But I don't think you had this code..  Wink
