    @ CR4CK3RW0LF

    Its worth a try. You're still gonna have to get past that little obstacle of it not being animated...

    @//2:

    How many colors can the Face Frame have on it without making the game freeze? I am planning a Mega Man themed CSS and SSS with custom Face Icons and everything made from scratch over the original files to give them a NES or SNES Mega Man feel to them. So this is important for the borders.

    @Velen Zaiga

    For the Faceframe import it in RGB5A3 format. The data size should read 1,216B. In the guide I accidentally wrote IA4 which is gray scale. Thats a mistake on my part. You shouldn't have to worry about the colors since RGB5A3 doesn't allow you to edit that. Hope this fixes your problem.

    So what you're saying is that I cannot edit the colors? If so, then "bollocks"!

    I exported it as a TarGA and then resaved it as a PNG.

    What is the least number of colors I should have.

    The RGB5A3 format has no color limit, but you will see some color when replacing textures of that format.  Also, all texture formats can use a minimum of 1 color.

    @mnsg

    It amazes me how you just appear instantly out of nowhere with picture format info. You're like a mystical ninja of information. Lol! Cheesy

    @Velen Zaiga

    You shouldn't get so bent out of shape trying to format the Faceframe file. The guide is more of a guideline than actual rules. You can import your image in any format you want as long as you keep under the file size limit. Just remember no matter how awesome your image looks in photoshop its gonna lose some luster in-game. Especially the faceframe image since its very small in game.


    To everyone else:
     Gonna be going on vacation so no updates this week so before I go I'm adding a new Icon pack for anyone that uses those. I'll update when I get back. See y'all later.

    The reason I asked is cause I want to keep it at or under the size limit so it won't freeze.

    Well, a lot of my work involves texture editing.  Because of that, I've gained a lot of knowledge regarding the texture formats.  I've even learned the file size amounts that each texture format uses, depending on the texture size dimensions.  Here are two examples as a reference.

    ------------------------
    128 x 128 pixel texture

    I4 - 8,256 bytes
    I8 - 16,448 bytes
    IA4 - 16,448 bytes
    IA8 - 32,832 bytes
    RGB565 - 32,832 bytes
    RGB5A3 - 32,832 bytes
    RGBA8 - 65,600 bytes
    CI4 (16 color palette) - 8,352 bytes
    CI8 (16 color palette) - 16,544 bytes
    CI8 (256 color palette) - 17,024 bytes
    CMPR - 8,256 bytes
    ------------------------
    256 x 256 pixel texture

    I4 - 32,832 bytes
    I8 - 65,600 bytes
    IA4 - 65,600 bytes
    IA8 - 131,136 bytes
    RGB565 - 131,136 bytes
    RGB5A3 - 131,136 bytes
    RGBA8 - 262,208 bytes
    CI4 (16 color palette) - 32,928 bytes
    CI8 (16 color palette) - 65,696 bytes
    CI8 (256 color palette) - 66,176 bytes
    CMPR - 32,832 bytes
    ------------------------

    Now, from what I've noticed, adjusting the CI8 texture's palette adds/removes 32 bytes for each 16 colors that you add/remove.  Also, the texture format with the best quality is RGBA8.  However, because of that, it uses the most memory among all the other texture formats.

    Just a quick question, do you guys know where you put the in-game character portraits and what file it is? I know it's probably a silly question but I would like to add textures to the in-game, tourney, and results screens. I have a couple of images for during battle, but I don't know what file stores that information as well as it's location. I think it would be great if you add it to the guide.

    -edit-
    I found it. Here's a link to the thread I found on it.http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=25.0
    I was hoping it would be in a big pac file like the CSS files are, but it's all individual.  :'( It's frustrating, but I'll live with it.

    i was wondering how in brawlbox would u go about replacing the MenSelchrFaceB.001 with one thats 650 x 520. Cuz the original one is only 128 x 160 and whenever i try to increase it i get an error, and when i try to look at my CSS in game it freezes. do i have to delete the original and just make a new texture thats of 650x520 and rename it or do i just increase the width and height of the one thats 128x160?

    The max height is 128x160, if you have a bigger image I believe it freezes.

    ok... i did everything like it says.... but i ran into a problem. After i edited my SSS, the icons arnt even there, just a white box to where the stages are. Wen i move the pointer over 1 of them, every box says the name of the stage im highlighted over.

    mind helping? ^^"

    Did you mess up with the texture formats?  Pay close attention to what's listed below.

    MenSelmapIcon.## - 64x56 pixels - CI8 texture / RGB5A3 palette
    MenSelmapPrevbase.## - 176x176 pixels - CMPR texture
    MenStageSwitch.## - 128x64 pixels - CMPR texture

    Also, when editing sc_selmap.pac, the BRRES archive that contains the stage select icons and portraits will be named MiscData[80].
