This is essentially an outline and refrence to Sammi Husky's vids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEGSgNMWrPo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEGSgNMWrPo) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ79wRtdfOA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ79wRtdfOA) and CommittedHail's text tutorial based on the vid http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=67591.0 (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=67591.0)
I prefer right to the point tutorials so I made this. Since this isn't really a tutorial I recommend you check out one of the links first. This is so you can quickly jog your memory and find the right locations fast without having to search around. I realize this might look confusing at first but it really isn't. If you can't understand this then that's too bad. I anyway made this for myself so if this doesn't help anyone else then at least I didn't make this for no purpose.
how the structure should roughly look like:
-pf
--BrawlEx
---CosmeticConfig
----Cosmetic3F.dat
--info
---Info.brres
---portrite
----InfFace1101.brres
--info2
---info.pac
---info_training.pac
---info_training_mg.pac
--menu
---common
----char_bust_tex
-----MenSelchrFaceB1100.brres
--menu2
---sc_selcharacter.pac
--stage
---melee
----STGRESULT.pac
CSP = Character Selection Portrait
NmB = Name Big (on csp)
CSS = Character Selection Icon (face)
NIS = Name In Selection (on csi/face)
STC = Stock Icon
MRK = Mark (franchise icon) [48 x 46/47/48]
NIG = Name In Game (on battle portrait) [72/80/88/96/104 x 12]
CBP = Character Battle Portrait [48x56]
MRW = Mark White (white franchise icon, transparent background)
You can skip parts regarding the marks (MRK) if you don't want to add a new one.
You can also skip parts regarding stocks (STC); they don't seem to work.

(was the white color too bright? dont know what to do about that. maybe i should edit and make the bold instead?)
where can I get something that's transparent that will replace the names on the character select icons?
