What is cBliss?
It sets the max number of costumes for all characters to 10.
That means all character now have up to 10 fitCharacterXX.pac
165 new costumes in total.

What does 'cBliss' stand for?
Costume Happy! (http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m202/antjor_s38/eBf1Pr7tdg6RYBwCDwmUSNXUSnI.gif)

Drawbacks?
Wario looses 2 costumes.
NONE.


How does it work?
It uses 4 fairly simple codes:
This code makes it so the game tries to load 10 costumes for each character if the costumes exist.

This code Fixes the order of the costumes to go in order of the .pac and .pcs files.

This code writes the 12 costume offsets for Wario in an empty space in memory.

This code simple points all of the character's costume offsets to the Costume Offset FIX, and Wario's points to his new one.

For a more in-depth look at the codes please ask.

Which cosmetics do I need?
Everything is already provided for you in the Kit!
But what is needed is:
Character Select Portraits [CSPs]
Battle Portraits [BPs]
Result Screen Portraits [RSPs]
StockIcons [CSS] [SSS and Result ones are optional]

Which files do I need?
You will need the FitCharacterXX.pac & FitCharacterXX.pcs for the new costumes.
Yes! You will need both the .pac [uncompressed] and .pcs [compressed] files.
There are few special apples though:
-Peach needs an entry.pac for each costume.
   FitPeachEntry06.pac - FitPeachEntry09.pac
-Pokemon Trainer needs a final.pac for each costume.
   FitPokeTrainerFinal05.pac - FitPokeTrainerFinal09.pac
Peach's and PT's extra files are already provided in the kit!
-Kirby Hats.
   Kirby hats are optional and will not freeze. If a new costume gets swallowed the hat would be the default for
   that character.

How do Characters that skip over a costume work?
Character like Mario, Link, Yoshi, etc. skip over a certain team color costume because they use their default costume for that team color instead.
In cBliss this will be no more.
ALL characters now use:
FitChar01.pac/pcs as Red Team
FitChar02.pac/pcs as Green Team
FitChar03.pac/pcs as Blue Team
Characters that skip a costume will need that costume filled in and they will use that new costume as their new team color.
For example:
Mario in vBrawl skips over FitMario01.pac, because he uses FitMario00.pac for Red Team.
Mario in cBliss needs FitMario01.pcs and FitMario01.pcs for use as Red Team costume.


How does Mr. Game & Watch work?
Mr. Game & Watch still loads his costumes from FitGameWatch00.pac & FitGameWatch00.pcs.
You will need to add the costumes via CLR.
Courtesy of me, the kit provides a cBliss ready Game & watch.

So why only 10 costumes?
Because of how the cosmetics work.
For example:
Mario's CSPs start at MenSelchrFaceB.001 [001]
While DK's start at MenSelchrFaceB.011 [011]
If we were to give Mario 11 costumes he would requiere the use of FaceB.011 but guess what! it is already in use by DK.
tl;dr: Overlap on IDs, that's why.

How does Wi-Fi work?
Playing online with another cBliss user is flawless.
Playing a none cBliss user there is a few things to note:
-New costume Team Color works fine. You will see the new costume, he will see the default one.
When the no user picks a Team Color you filled in you will see the default costume for that color not the new one.
-cBliss user cannot pick any new costume or the opponent will freeze. [Exception is new Team Color Costume]

Selecting RANDOM?
Random will also load the new costumes so be careful to have all the costumes in place.
Also careful using Random on Wi-Fi versus a player that doesn't use cBliss.

So what does the kit include?
-ALL the cosmetics needed.
-Peach's entry.pacs.
-Pokemon Trainer's final.pacs.
-cBliss ready Mr. G&W.
-List of Costumes needed for each character.
-4 A2 Fox recolors so you can test right to way.
-cBliss .GCT

Troubleshoot HALP!!!
-Beeeeeeeeeeeeep = your hack is bad
-Silent Freeze = game is trying to load a file and couldn't find it. Make sure you named everything correctly and replaced the correct costume. Also make sure you have both the .pcs and .pac.

Important!
While testing every single character and downloading a lot of hacks from the vault, I noticed people don't know how to properly save the character .pac files.
This was recurring problem and gave way to many freezes.
For those of you that don't know .pac files are uncompressed and .pcs files are LZ77 compressed.
So how do you know if you downloaded from a person who has no clue?

(http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m202/antjor_s38/Wrong.png)
Notice the same file size. That is wrong!
.pac files should have a larger file size since they are uncompressed.

(http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m202/antjor_s38/Correct.png)
Notice the significant file size difference between the .pac and .pcs files.

(http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m202/antjor_s38/pair.png)
Awesome BrawBox feature, saves both the .pac and .pcs properly in one go.
USE IT!


What to replace to use your own CSS/SSS/Result
Yes you can use your own CSS/SSS/Result with this.
Always be wary of your filesize limits:
sc_selcharacter.pac = limit 3.79 MB
sc_selmap.pac = limit 1.14 MB
Here is what to replace:
sc_selcharacter:
-char_bust_tex_lz77 [CSPs]
-MiscData[90] [StockIcons]

sc_selmap:
-MiscData[40] [StockIcons]
-PAT= MenSelmapPlayer1_TopN [On MiscData[20]] [Pattern File for StockIcons]
-PAT= MenSelmapPlayer2_TopN [On MiscData[20]] [Pattern File for StockIcons]
-PAT= MenSelmapPlayer3_TopN [On MiscData[20]] [Pattern File for StockIcons]
-PAT= MenSelmapPlayer4_TopN [On MiscData[20]] [Pattern File for StockIcons]

STGRESULT.pac:
-MiscData[120] [StockIcons]
-PAT= InfStockface_TopN__0 [On MiscData[110]] [Pattern File for StockIcons]

-cBliss & Project M-
1. Open PM's 2.5b gct on GCTedit (http://www.mediafire.com/download/my2iuknzz0y/GCTEdit%5B1%5D.zip).
2. Copy codes on the TXT square to notepad.
3. Using the search function [ctrl+f] in notepad, search for the following:
Search for ''804553AC'' [Chard] 1 match replace with 80455334
search for ''804553B8'' [Squirt] 1 match replace with 80455334
search for ''804553C4'' [Ivy] 2 matches replace with 80455334
4. Notice how when searching for Ivysaur you get 2 matches.
1 match will be along the other 2 pokemon.
The other match will be by itself and will look like this:

06585E00 00000010
22FF1B1E 000019C6
804553C4 80000000  

You need to delete those 3 lines.

5. Now we search for Wario.
Search for ''455334'' You will get 1 match.
Delete the ''04455334 02060007'' along with the 5 lines below it.

04455334 02060007
04455338 070A0308
0445533C 090B0109
04455340 05000001
04455344 01030302
04455348 02050804

Those 6 lines should be gone.

6. To finish with the codes add the cBliss codes at the bottom of the text file.

7. Copy the Battle Portraits  and choose to replace all [pf\info\portrite\InfFaceXXX.brres]

8. Copiey the Result Portraits and choose to replace all [pf\menu\common\char_bust_tex\MenSelchrFaceBXXX.brres]

9. Using BrawlBox open PM's Common5.pac and replace the sc_selcharacter with the one from cBliss.

10. Leave sc_selmap alone.

...*claps*

I am going to dig in and adjust this to the nth power.

ASF1nk.
I want you to marry me.
Right here, right now.

extra slot and now this? what is your next thread going to be? 7 players per match?

just wow, dude this is just amazing, finally when those noobs make threads or ask on how to have more texture slots on characters, we can give them a good answer (or at least point them here)

i really thought this wasnt possible but, again, you proved me otherwise

This is... Very impressive I gotta say.

While this might not be too useful for random Wifi... It will be nice for Wifi against friends.


I can finally use all these mods I didn't have room for originally. XD

Very nice, dunno if it works on riivolution or not, I'll test it.

This will work well with how many Luigi and Toon Link hacks I have.

Recyclable wario slots? I'm a fan.

this + filepatch 3.5.3= 525 extra costumes :srs:

(http://24.media.tumblr.com/0e8c63e001b81f9c8fda9034f618b6b5/tumblr_mhijvh1eNj1rwej9io9_250.gif)


Finally, no more dropping textures I like for newer textures I also like.

Which Wario slots are dropped? 10 and 11?

*bows down to ASF1nk*

-Should work on Riivo if you don't mind adding ~330 paths.

-525 costumes? AWESOME

-No glitches just have all the files both .pcs and .pac and make sure they are correctly compressed or uncompressed.

-Yes 10 and 11 get dropped.
 It was either Wario drops 2 or he keeps 12 and rest get up to 7 costumes only.


I should have mentioned Random will also load the new costumes so be careful if you don't have them on the sd card yet.

And currently you need to add all of the new .pac and .pcs for ALL characters should post of a way to only get the ones you want soon.

So what would happen if Random loads oh let say for example FitMario07 but there is nothing there?

^ My guess is that it freezes.

o_o

I don't really know what to say... This is something that people have dreamed of for years, and it was either deemed impossible or repeatedly put on the backburner by the few people capable of doing it. It's finally real now. There's nothing helpful I can say here except congratulate and thank you like everyone else.

 Whoa! many many princess peach slots that i can use. i love you asf1nk i wonde why you keep releasing rather requested stuff.

first this which adds 5 more costume slots to the characters. and before this a rather decently functioning 1 slot clone engine

i wonder why you keep releasing these things is it to bring something much better in the future? or is it to sate our basic CSS/SSS desires

either way loving this, about to start a whole new SD card just for this

Wow Wow Wow. Can't wait to try this out! There were just so many awesome textures I had to drop because of space! Hopefully it works with Mr. MW's 3.5.3 code (even in it's current state having MORE costumes on top of being able to switch between two PSAs would be super handy for characters like Pokemon Trainer and Pikachu)

Couple questions ASF1, fitcharacter00 is still for defaults that don't already replace team colors right? Also doesn't Sonic's default replace #3 because you don't seem to mention it in the readme.

NO character loads a team color using the default anymore.
Mario now loads red team from 01.pac
Link loads green team from 02.pac
Sonic loads blue team from 03.pac
etc.

And yes, thank you for pointing that out Sonic does also need FitSonic03.pac/.pcs.

Yeah, but I mean for characters like Peach or Kirby whose defaults don't use team colors.

I'm going to assume in the portrite folder, InffaceXXX.brres the last digit corresponds to the the texture number

Example inface049 would be the portrait for fityoshi09, or would it be 08 like the placeholder suggests?

GOOD JOB. HOLY WOW.

...Now then. Now that I've got my undying fanburst out, the big question:

Will this do anything to saved data?

Edit:

Also, does anyone want to start working on a "standard pack" of recolored default textures to fill all the slots so there will be no freezes? Because that should happen.

Characters that never used default already loaded red from 01.pac green from 02.pac and blue from 03.pac.

And yeah I forgot to mention but cosmetics are also re-arranged.
They go in the same order the fitCharacterXX.pac files go.
I already did all the re-arranging though, so no one has to worry about that.

And you're kinda right except cosmetic and .pac/.pcs are off by one.
Example:
Mario's cosmetics start at 01
so infface001.brres would correspond to fitMario00.pac
face02 = Mario01
face03 = Mario02
face04 = Mario03
face05 = Mario04
face06 = Mario05
face07 = Mario06
face08 = Mario07
face09 = Mario08
face10 = Mario09


-Your Save will be fine just like it was fine before <_<.

WOW!!! This is amazing!!!! But I have a question, how we gonna mantain the minimum size of  the sc_selcharacter.pac by adding the new CPS, without crashing/freezing the game by exceeding the file size limit?

This makes replacing portraits so much easier.

You just made me find a bbox bug lol.
It decompressed the sc_selcharacter.pac so its over 4MB.
Uploading a fix now.

To answer your question.
You don't have to I already did everything for you only have to replace the numbered CSPs with the ones you want.
Final file size of the CSS on cBliss kit is 2.78mb, the limit is 3.79mb

...[censored].
I'm over 4mb right now.

Fix is now live, re-download.

just curious what about REL ported characters? how does this affect them?

Hahaha and again, wow!! You always one step ahead, thanks!!

This is incredible!

Mind if i patch it to work with Riivolution and release it?

Oh em GEEEE

Could you make one like this? i would love more costumes but ten is just too many for some characters. And could you also make a version for the most current version of Project M?

^ this

Will the plug&play rels work with this?

Next will be separate clones and we all can have almost an infinite amount of PSA'd characters, and regular characters?......  :yay:

One big question I have. So how would I get the extra textures on Dolphin?

Thanks man, you are Awesome. I have never bothered to modify the aesthetic parts of the select screens. Now I have a reason! I'll start organizing my brawl correctly and will have room for Oh so many hacks. Life is good.

This looks amazing! I'll be pretty eager to give this a test drive, makes me wish I wasn't so busy lately so I could set it all up. I still need to play around with the recent extra slot updates. But still this is awesome, it's nice to see an expanded costume selection finally coming to light!

is there a chance you can make a video for this? i read what to do but i dont really get it when it comes to reading text it a mental problem i have

Quick question -- what about the Kirby transformations which change his model (Donkey Kong, Falco, Jigglypuff, Olimar and Snake)? You should probably mention that you'll need files for those as well to prevent crashing.

Either way, this is awesome.  :)

My question is if there's a way to get this to work on Dolphin? Because when I use Wii Scrubber, there are only the original files there, so I wouldn't be able to put one of my own custom textures over FirMario06-09 because those files don't exist in the game's files when I load the game in Wii scrubber :/

epic work sir, would anyone be so nice to release a pack with original costumes over the new ones, so all are used and to prevent freezing?

also, i assume you changed the CSPs sizes for filesize?
or did you just make them all CMPR?

i just have tried:
dolphin with file patcher code v3.5.1:
not Gecko OS method for emulator its kinda the same method just the change you put the codes in a txt file for the game settings for dolphin emulator
instead of loading gecko OS like as in a wii
 with this method you is able to edit the .iso with a brsar file but if do that with gecko OS+Dolphin+edited iso with brsar file it freezes) but it freeze with this or with that extra slot charater aswell
idk with Gecko OS+dolphin method if it works with that
Edit:
never mind it works for me now
sadly not the extra slot with this method i using

looks like PAL version is forgotten :/

is it okay if I port these codes to PAL? including everything like CSS, Stocks ect

I'm so flipping in love with this, dude. You have no idea how happy I am to see this. I've already gone crazy on the LST post's comment section. XD

Just a few questions, though.

Did you even out the Wario costumes, or did you just drop the last two classic Wario costumes?

What is CLR? I use these Mr. Game & Watch textures here (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=12972) and was wondering how I could retain those and possibly add to them.

I may have more later, but this is all I can think of right now.

how do you use this with the stage expansion code and the flaming blue css. could some one make it work?
i hope to get this working with riivolution. i just deleted a mario hack a couple of days ago. i would love this so i can keep it as an alternate.

I have a question: does it corrupt save files? ;D

JK, that's awesome. I thought nothing new could make me reconsider my decision to not mod my Brawl anymore. You've just proved me wrong.

I'll have to rmbr to fav this thread when I get my compy online ;D

impressive work my good man :)

Excuse me while I go party.

So wait, what do you mean adding 330 new paths?

Also, I'm gonna address the elephant in the room here...

PAL version?

i do have a couple questions, me the being the person i am im not sure if these have been answered or not even though i did read all the comments

1.so if someone is missing lets say FitChar02 or something, will it be added or skipped to make there pcs/pac's go up to FitChar11?

2.and you mentioned something about csp's being 1 increment off the files (I.E. FitChar01 = MenSelChar02) am i correct or was that something else?

also i didnt read the txt file in the download (mainly b/c i didnt DL is yet) b/c i havent had the time but if these answers are in the txt file just say so and i can read it

You say it like he was obliged to make the codes for a region he doesn't have a Wii from. It's PAL and NTSC-J's users' job to do that, not NTSC-U's.

w00t, that wasnt what I ment or wanted to say o-o

may i ask someone to help me get it to work for riivolution? i tried to add the files from the pack to my own selchar and selmap pac but when i booted the game it froze nothing loaded.
yes i modified the common pac for the menus i even used the ones from the pack but it still froze

i'm using the stage expansion code and the flaming blue css.

I would never forget my PALs =D

-Also working on Riivo.

-Also good point on Kirby hats, I forgot about them!

I'll be testing these babies, myself, right now.

As it stands though, thanks a lot for all this!

EDIT: Does the gameconfig.txt work even with PAL use?

ASF1nk, you do some amazing things. :D

Just a question that I don't think has been addressed here: Does it work with .rel ported characters, like PhantomWings' Plug'n'Play modules?

Shouldn't by any problems.
Someone test it out.

you dont even needing Gecko OS cuz if using Gecko OS+editing iso for SFX packs it freeze but if you using Dolphin´s own Gecko OS: Dolphin folder/User/GameConfig/RSBE01.txt add file patch code+these codes
it comeplete works aswell
just add the codes

ok. i got it to load. but when i select example fitmario01.pac it freezes. i have the pcs file too. still freezes. my hack is good it is the same one over fitmario00.pac as i'm creating dummy files to prevent crashing.

Make sure the pcs file is smaller than the pac file or else it won't work (I guess). When I choose the character everything is fine, the game just freezes when I select a stage. I'm also using Riivolution + Stage Expansion Code.

fixed the character select bug. but now i'm having that issue with the stage select screen. whats weird is that i can go back to my wii menu when i select a stage.
the pac and pcs is the right sizes pcs smaller than pac

So basically what you're saying here is...this probably won't work for USB users with a modded iso?
Can anyone confirm this?

For those curious if it works with ProjectM, it *kinda* works...with a few issues.

- The Pokemon (Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard) can't select their extra colours
- Characters who have had their default team colours moved (Marth, for example) freeze the game when selecting their moved team colour (in Marth's case, his purple colour, replacing his blue team colour)

That's about all I've tested, it works great with every other character though! Great job with this!

If anyone wants the modified ProjectM files that work with this, I could upload them.

Winning.

My summer project now is to hunt down hacks, CSPs, and all of the good cosmetics stuff to make this work :I

if i understand this correctly, it should even "fix" some issues of P&P rels, for example, freezing when selecting a outfit the original didnt have, now they all have the same outfits, so i suggest someone testing that :P

Hah. Same dude.
I started replacing my portraits and BP's yesterday. Got all the way through through Lucas.

has anyone found a fix for riivolution that does not freeze when i select a stage? i'm just curious.

You need to add file paths to your Riivolution XML if you haven't already.

damn you, I wanted to port them D:

however, thats awesome! I will test them out right now!

Same goes for me but the path is already there. I'm using Beyond's Riivolution and it works perfectly. When I want to add more color slots then it freezes at the Stage Select Screen when a stage is selected.

I added the 3 codes to RSBE01.gct (without the File Replacement Code), replaced sc_selcharacter.pac (not the sc_selmap.pac due to the Stage Expansion) and added all the portrite files. Everything is where it should be.

It seems that the gameconfig.txt is just for Dolphin users. I was already curious about that. And I don't really think that it's due to the sc_selmap.pac file.

I should also say that the pac file is larger than the pcs file.

What am I to create as a XML for Riivolution use, though...? That's what I'm curious about.

hmm im having a problem with this completely,i have all the extra costumes added i replaced my GCT with the one included and all the files are added but it still freezes when i try to go to the character selection screen,any thoughts anyone?

i'm having this problem too. i got past the character select screen aswell.

Okay, okay, guys, we need to pipe down and rationalize. I'm assuming that the FRC was what directed the extra costumes to be loaded by the game so they're playable, so we'll need a Riivolution equivalent to that.

I mean, I have my hacks setup in the classic "private/wii/etc..." mode and it still doesn't load the extras so...

That's a shame, though I sort of expected it would clash with the team color modifications already in place.

i have an idea. let's write the new fighter files to the xml of riivolution. i'm gonna test the first one i edited. i'll edit if it works

edit. got it to work. that's how you do it.

add this to your xml

<file external="/private/wii/app/RSBE/pf//fighter/nameoffighter/FitnameXX.pcs" disc="/fighter/nameoffighter/FitnameXX.pcs" create= "true"/>
dont forget to add the pac files too

do this for every new slot and it should be flawless now

i'm gonna work on a xml for this. give me a few hours at the most.

ahhh! i'm excited! thank you!

*Jaw Drops*

Wow, just wow. Amazing job on this, ASF1nk


That's the way I've done it for the CSE and stage expansion, although I use a modified Modlauncher xml as opposed to Beyond's, so the filepaths are a lot different for me. I would've tested this out but on account of not being at home at the moment, I can't exactly do it.

One thing to note is that you just can't add a folder to the xml to save time as opposed to adding individual files. It'll replace all the files in that particular folder, but it will never actually create a file, so unfortunately you have to add an entry for every single pac and pcs...one of the few advantages the FPC has over Riivo.

I'm willing to do all this extra work to get this to run if it means extra characters.

Though I must stress that this opens endless possibilities, depending on one's mindset.

currently working on a xml current progress mario through luigi done starting in the order of cbliss order for fighter pacs.
so mario is first and then dk etc. i'm gonna get it done as fast as i can.

I am having trouble doing it either way, I just remembered my ISO has been edited for sounds so the gecko OS thing is out of the question, I've got my codes on the RSBE. txt now instead, but nothing happens, the only difference is one of robs textures appear to be wally's ( i think thats what it is) but theres no freezing or other costumes at all.
whats going on?

Wouldn't it just be faster to just use
<folder external="/private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/fighter" disc="/fighter/" recursive="true" resize="true" create="true"/>
instead of
<file external="/private/wii/app/RSBE/pf//fighter/nameoffighter/FitnameXX.pcs" disc="/fighter/nameoffighter/FitnameXX.pcs" create="true"/>

It basically tells riivolution to compare the fighter folder on a SD or whatever with the folder on the disk and use the subfolders as well as well as create the extra files if they exist.
It is what I use for my hacks already, minus the create part.

Has anyone tested a plug & play rel yet?

I am 90% sure it will work considering how those rels work. 20 snake skins would be sick.

I've been working on replacing my portraits and [censored], but I'll test it later. I have one over Olimar for Roy.

i tried that infact my fighter folder setting is that.
still freezes

What you are doing now though, does it work?
Also when you added <folder external="/private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/fighter" disc="/fighter/" recursive="true" resize="true" create="true"/>, did you still have the line that said <folder external="/private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/fighter" disc="/fighter/" recursive="true" resize="true"/>? Because if you did, Riivo will ignore the second one on the xml. You will also have to add the path for EVERY file in the fighter folder if you plan on file linking instead of folder linking for the same reason.

I am only having one tiny issue. It freezes at the results screen. I am assuming I have missed something somewhere?

the one with example      
<file external="/private/wii/app/RSBE/pf//fighter/pit/FitPit06.pac" disc="/fighter/pit/FitPit06.pac" create= "true"/>
that one works that other one does not work.
i have both.
edit i see i should add create=true
i did not see that little line of code.

Did you use the STGRESULT that comes with the kit?

My experience was that riivo ignored commands that linked a single file if there was a command that linked a folder. That being said, I am still interested if the way you are doing it right now works.
Edit:
While you are working on that, I am going to work on making recolors and setting up a thread for people to help with them. Unless said thread exists already.

it does work. but this method is faster
<folder external="/private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/fighter" disc="/fighter/" recursive="true" resize="true" create="true"/>
now i'm having problems with ice climbers i load the new slots and it freezes at the stage select screen

If I make a thread for the portraits and recolors, what board would it go in? I was thinking This board (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?board=25.0), would that be correct?

Maybe Ice Climbers are a bit buggy due to their files? As I know you can decide whether to play Popo or Nana, maybe that causes some issues because the extra slots mess that up. Dunno, just a suggestion.

I've tried this method with folders before. While it works for file replacement, it's never worked for me with file creation. I've always had to manually link the files if I'm creating a file as opposed to just creating a folder and calling it good. However, I can't remember if I ever had set 'recursive="true"' or not. That said, the more I'm reading the more I think I never set the recursive flag. I'll get back to you on that.

Between the new costume slots, the Stage Expansion 2.0 code, the updated modlauncher xml from Project M, and the extra character slot, it may be worthwhile for me to make a new proper version of the Modlauncher xml. Especially one with save file redirection built in. I prefer that layout as opposed to the layouts which mimic the FPC format.

Can't wait to try out the new costumes, though...

Now that you mention it I did but at the same time I didn't. Call me a goof ball for this one, but rushing myself to get it all into my folders I found that I put the STGRESULT in the sound folder by mistake, either way thanks for bringing that to my attention.

yeah thats the board.
how would you do a mrg&w rel port. i cant get it to work.

I don't know what you mean. Did you mean adding more costumes?

ok i have a character over g&w so it has one pac and pcs. how would you get the other costumes to load without it freezing.
still having problems with ice climbers. i changed the names in the actual files but it still frrezes

I... don't know. I don't have any experience with G&W.
On a side note, what should the thread be called? I was thinking something on the lines of "The Official cBliss Recolors Project"

that's good.
still having problems with ice climbers. i changed the names in the actual files but it still freezes
cant seem to get pokemon trainer to work either. i have everything set but i still get freezing.

Just stumbled into this, and I gotta say it's hell legit.


Now the questions: Riivo-exclusive? Any bugs? P:M compatible?

Not Riivo-exclusive, few bugs with P:M, and that's it.

some bugs as we speak. we're trying to get it to work on riivo perfectly.
cant get ganondorf to work wow i'm having alot of problems.
wow this is really making me mad. i'm going back to my old method to see if it works.
nothing works. someone help me. i cant get alot of characters to work. even my old method does not work.
it seems like everything past fitchar05.pac freezes

I used your .gct you included and all, but it still froze on the character selection screen, not the loading of characters or anything like that... so what did I do wrong?  It's as soon as I click over to one of the new slots, if I load one of the normal ones, everything is fine..

hmm. done everything correctly. modified my xml, and every character freezes when i try to load a new slot.
using riivolution and stage expansion code. please help.

See this is why you should make a .pac first, and then save the hack as a .pcs, like I do. Maybe this will get people to actually make pac files when making hacks, plus pac files are needed for adventure mode which can be fun playing with hacks. :P

not this again...
just save as pair, problem solved, everyone happy

i recreated my gct several times just incase i missed the codes. i still cant select my new slots. i have no idea what to do. it still is freezing when i select a stage. i know my hacks are good. pcs smaller than pac. used selcharacter and selmap from the kit. it's really getting annoying. i'm tired now so i'll mess with it tomorrow.
is there is specific order for the codes to be in on the gct?

Um I've run into a weird glitch, the none of the new cosmetics seem to load, I get the originals with screwed up textures for the added slots. :(
What's weird was that it was working earlier, and by earlier, I mean earlier today, I don't know what's causing this to happen.
Diddy's and Pit's colors are the normal CSPs, but in the original order, not the order they should be with the codes, Mario's and Luigi's are the extra slots. :>.>palm:

gonna attempt to add create="true" to the info folder maybe it cant load the battle portraits. i'll edit if it works

FINALLY GOT IT WORKING

add create="true" to your info folder in your riivolution xml

Everyone getting freezes on the CSS make sure to redownload, first download had the sc_selcharacter uncompressed so it was way over the filesize limit.
Kit is now v1.1 so redownload.

Riivo users, when you see the new CSPs on the CSS all that means is that it is reading the common5.pac if it freezes on the SSS after selecting the stage it means it can't read either the BPs or the characters themselves.

Keep in mind you need to also add paths to the new BPs that's why it's freezing when picking over 05 costumes.



You're obviously using Dolphin and that happens when you don't have the CSPs aka the sc_selcharacter I provided.

Hm? So how do I have to name the path (I'm still not really into this)?
I'm using Beyond's Riivolution, looks like that:

Shouldn't the path also read the new BPs and characters?

you see where it points to the pf/info folder?
add create="true" after resize="true". and it should work flawlessly now

Did you ever get your riivo xml working?

Thing is that it also doesn't load the portraits or the extra characters, and I had it a moment ago before I tried to add the unrestricted pause camera and the 1 player match codes. :oshi:
I don't understand why this is happening, and I'm getting tired of having to go through the process of making the sd.raw. *cries*

I unchecked the Use Panic Handlers, which I've both checked and unchecked for different attempts, and now it works. O_O

Would you be able to put a link to the topic I created in the origonal post? It is still fresh, but it will contain wifi safe retextures for all of the added costumes along with BPs, CSPs, and RSs posed the same way as vBrawls.
Here is the link http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=59807.0 (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=59807.0)

Okay I think I found the real solution to my problem, I have toggle the Use Panic Handlers off and on each time because so far that is working, though I don't know how long this'll keep working for me. :-\

i added create="true" after resize="true" for the fighter folder and info folder. a much faster way to get everything to work.

Soooo, the thing I first mentioned to you XD

pretty much. lol thanks.

Just an assumption, this probably isn't compatible at the moment with your extra slot + cosmetics, right? Because I noticed that ghost slot you used for CSS pics for Roy is completely empty in this version. I assume it'll still work without cosmetics though, but I'm just gonna work on getting this setup with some extra costumes before I go into combining the two.

my brawl freezes... Im trying to load model imports on the extra slots
is that the problem?

Didn't work, the game still freezes.

Well, I also noticed that the Stage Expansion Code doesn't work at all anymore. All the custom slots vanished and the roster looks like the original Brawl (noticed it right now).
I believe there's just a conflict between cBliss and Stage Expansion.

Anyone there who also uses Stage Expansion where all stages are still available?

-Extra slot will probably work, haven't tested. Added 10 costumes to MarioD just in case. You would have to fill in the cosmetics yourselves though.

-You can put any hacks over the new costumes just like if they were regular costumes.
Like I said:
Beeeeeep: You'r hack is bad.
Silent freeze: You're missing files. The game is trying to read them but didn't find them.

-No conflict with Stage expansion.

So yeah, Kit is now at v1.5.
I fixed wario, gave him back his 12 costumes.
I added a Riivo Kit that uses an XML that loads everything like Gecko would
Thanks to blazingflare for saving time on the XML and not having to add each path one by one. xD
Will work on PAL kit next.
And updated OP.

How did I fix Wario?
I made him a new costume offset on an empty space in memory.
This can also be used so characters can have their default costume offsets [skipping over certain .pacs, etc.]
But I have all teams loaded from a certain .pac/.pcs number for the sake of consistency and uniformity. I never liked the original format; it was confusing and with new costume would be even more.
This way is easy to understand:
All character go from 00.pac/.pcs to 09 .pac/.pcs
1st costume is always 00.pac/.pcs
2nd costume is always 01.pac/.pcs
...
last costume is always 09.pac/.pcs

Simple.

If you can get this fully working with Project: M, my faith and devotion to you will be everlasting and endless. D:

I figured out that the cBliss works with the Fox characters you included, but not with the Mario I added. That's strange. -_-"

FitFox06.pac -> 1.298kb
FitFox06.pcs -> 654kb
Works!

FitMario07.pac -> 482kb
FitMario07.pcs -> 164kb
Freeze!

Also included STGRESULT.pac (named it to STGRESULT_en.pac) but it freezes when the game is over.

btw I still have the Stage Expansion issue. I'm now using the Riivolution.xml you added and changed the path to the .gct-file, but the stages won't appear on the roster.

Why does it cause so many problems for me?  :oshi:

can this works with project m rivo xml

that if i use custom1 code set

thank you sir!

time to test plug and play rels.

Have you considered perhaps to get the original STGRESULT from your disc or ISO and then use BrawlBox to replace the default MiscData with the one from the cBliss?

Tried it but same result as always. Didn't work. My suggest was that I forgot to add the icons to the for each color to the sc_selcharacter_en.pac so that the game freezes at the result screen, however, the colors are there, so that's not the problem.

ASF1nk, something I would love (beside the PAL version of the files) is that you put the original Default texture/character over the extra slot in the zip! so its plug in and play! no need to looking just for something you missed or textures to fill up the slot

example you used FitMario00 on the slot 01, 06-09 meaning if you load one of the slots you get original mario unless you replaced the "FitMario06" for example.

I am bad at explaning things but I hope you get the picture I am trying to say

Alright this does work with usb loaders, idk what I was reading.

EVERYTHING works flawlessly!!  :happy:

Though I've noticed something, when you cycle through a characters costumes (00-09) and not all of the slots have been filled yet with textures or models, you will silent freeze when you choose a stage on the SSS, even if you choose the characters default costume. A little inconvenient, but can be avoided if you don't start from 00 to 09 and go down.

I haven't actually tried every single character yet (only dedede, snake, and ganon), but I'm pretty sure everyone works. Thank you ASF1nk!

does this work with the extra slot
so the extra slot can have 10 costumes?

^ That is actually a really good idea. It's a bit of tedious work, but it would make things so much user-friendlier for everyone.

And even better for avoid confusion would be to put generic, distinguishable textures in the new slots. And by generic, distinguishable, I mean literally Bucket-Filled red/green/blue/white/black/pink textures.
(Though that would take a bit longer to prepare.)

I forgot about the extra slot...I haven't even tried it yet..
it might work, I also forgot to mention that cBliss works fine with stage expansion, ASL, and the new File Patch Code.

I am working on something a bit better then that in my thread. I am still working on it but it is coming along nicely.

Awesome update! I'll download the new pack and continue fishing for textures to fill up my slots, then I'll test it all at once when I've got it setup and ready to go.

HOLY S***

This is amazing! I've been waiting for a code like this for so long, and you good sir have delivered!

I have just one question, though; will this work with Project M?

(http://pwtorch.com/artman2/uploads/4/mind-blown.jpg)
Amazing code, gonna have to rearrange my CSPs now to put them in the right slots

Plug & Play rels work with cBliss.

I tried an Ike rel over Mr. Game & Watch and a Snake rel over Olimar, they both work flawlessly.

cant some P:M member say which codes alter the slots being loaded for teams in P:M?
cuz im guessing that's the reason it has glitches...

That's probably true for Marth but I'm going to assume Squirtle/Ivy/Charizard don't work for a different reason. From what was posted earlier their new costume slots don't show up at all so cBliss probably adds costumes for the Trainer but not for the independent Pokemon. Which makes sense as barely anyone who doesn't use P:M has them on their CSS anyway.

Unless the offset is shared between PT and the Indi Pokemon, in that case ignore what I said =V

aight... so... i got it all working (sort of) only problem... is that it's not showing the new csp's... it does show a few things though... red team luigi is the *green 02* csp... but plays my red team luigi character)
when not on team brawl... i select red luigi... and it actually plays the orange luigi... idk if that helps describe my situation or not (i hope it does)

i have a different css menu so i did the whole...
"Here is what to replace:
sc_selcharacter:
-char_bust_tex_lz77 [CSPs]
-MiscData[90] [StockIcons]"

i see the them in brawl box... which makes me think it has something to do with the codes... i put everything that was included in the download (codes) into my gtc... is there something i missed?

and yes i did spend a good 3 hours going through all of my fighter folders making sure i had hacks for every (00,01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09) slot all with good previously tested .pcs and .pac files...

did i forget something?

should also mention i use gecko... :P

edit- confirmed that it does have something to do with me entering my codes... :srs: i have no clue what i didn't do... :srs: gonna try remaking my gct again... :srs:

edit2- tried again... making double sure that i didn't mess up... and still same result :srs: question is now... are there any complications between this? and my other codes? the only thing i can think of is ASFink's custom css menu... does this not work with that?

Funk! FUNK!  :happy:

I love you so hard right now.

Like with my penis. But not in a gay way but in a brotherly kind of way that only brothers would understand.  :happy:

Beyond. I love you and your avatar.

I've got it nearly working on mine (I just now got to a place I could try it). The slots appear on the CSS, and there's no freezing, but when I try to load one of the new slots, even if it has both the .pac and .pcs (I tried with the Fox costumes and a Ness one I made), it just loads FitChar00. Can't quite figure out what went wrong. I'm using Gecko, if that means anything.

EDIT: Never mind, it's working now. I loaded the codes from a text file using GCT Edit, and it didn't get them all for some reason.

I have a question. What happens if you make a replay while using this hack and then try to play it on vBrawl?

that might be my problem too... :srs: let me try this

Having a bit of an issue with the SSS. I've got a Dark Flaming Blue one with Stage Expansion that works perfectly without cBliss, but when I export MiscData[40] and all four MenSelmapPlayer#_TopN items from MiscData[20] -> AnmTexPat (which I'm pretty sure are the right ones). The file size is 1.1 MB, but it freezes after about half of the stages have moved onscreen (they slide in from the right...).

It works perfectly when I use the sc_selmap included with cBliss, though. I just can't tell which expansion stage is which that way.

I am having a big issue, whenever i select a match it will freeze at the stage selection screen. Regardless if the characters are modded or if it is a cBliss costume or just a regular brawl costume. It freezes silently but all my files are in place. It is not the rels i have, i took them out and i still had the issue. What could be causing this?

I had that issue a couple of times as well. I played around with making a new GCT from my old one and eventually it just started working. It's definitely not the rels. I've got Cloud on Olimar, Thany's Roy on ROB, and Shadow on Jigglypuff, and they all work fine with it.

No matter what I do, I always seem to run into the problem of freezing at the results screen.

Try using the Fox hacks ASF1nk added into the cBliss pack. I have the same problem, but these Fox hacks worked.

Same.

the only one i'm having trouble with is fitganon08.pac/pcs that costume wont work. i know the hack i have is a good one. it bass.exe

i had that problem too when i quit the game... (no contest) but does it work when someone wins? i did the whole replace stuff that needs to be replaced and whatnot...

Since I have the same problem I can tell that it doesn't work when someone wins.

Maybe someone can upload a cBliss + Stage Expansion package on the vault that is ready for using. A riivolution.xml + gct file, all the folders with sc_selcharacter.pac, sc_selmap.pac (with all the icons for the custom slots), etc. All the stuff that is necessary for running cBliss with Stage Expansion.
There are a few people who have problems with combining the hacks or they just don't want to work. It'd be a huge help.

well my problem is recognized... i have characters over other characters... ie
- goku over pit
- naruto over game and watch
- vegeta over wolf
- ike over king dedede
- marth over diddy kong
- roy over rob
- spider man over yoshi
- gotenks over lucas
(i believe that's it)

but all of them work with their normal costumes... however when i play as one of the added costume slots... it will load in game just fine... but... when the game is either quit... or won... it will silently freeze... so obviously there is a file or something that isn't added right... question is... which file type? any idea?

- keep in mind that not all of them a .rel ported... (goku over pit vegeta over wolf etc)...
- also keep in mind some have codes with them (spider man over yoshi, marth over diddy, etc)...

so i'm not ruling out .rel characters are incompatible... or coded characters... also took note that my normal (non character replacement hacks) worked just fine... *regular and added costumes*

so what did i forget? or not do right? any ideas?

So, I just read this whole thread. I finally got the cBliss working on Dolphin, it took awhile, I had to download WinImage, then create a fake SD card (even though I have a real one and a laptop I can pop it into, but something wasn't working right so I used the fake SD card method. For those of you who don't know how to create and simulated SD card to use for GeckoOS on Dolphin, hit me up and let me know. In the mean time, I have a question.. I've been trying to learn how to use the Stage expansion forever and I finally learned it upon learning this, but I'm not understanding how the 2 codes can work together. They both require me to copy a code and private folder. How is it possible that I can use 2 RSBE01.gct files simultaneously? I tried converting them from gct to txt and adding all of the codes together, but it didn't work :/

yea it took me forever to figure that out as well... my advice would be to try it over and over again... in different combos... personally i had cbliss codes before/above the stage expansion... that worked for me... also try adding the codes from cbliss to the codes you already have... if that doesnt work try doing the opposite... adding codes you already have to cbliss... (yes you can only have 1 RSBE01.gct file) another trick... instead of saving the .gct file when you make it to your sd card>codes folder... try saving it to another spot... then replace the existing one... (be sure to keep a back up in case things don't work) <-- that last trick worked for me... i'm sure it will you too!

Well, I fixed the problem that the custom slots didn't show up. Something was messed up while adding the codes, it's fine now.

@Legend of Jesse: I figured out that the results screen doesn't appear while using characters that use custom slots. For example if you use the original characters (Sonic & Dedede for example), everything works totally fine.
Only the characters with custom slots don't work with the result screen, dunno why..

Now I still have a few problems:


The hacks that were added to the pack work fine (still freezes when in result screen), I don't know why that Mario hack freezes the game after selecting the stage..

Yeah, I was planning on doing that.
I also though about giving them their slightly modified textures like Miacis suggested but yeah I'm not doing over 160 new textures.

But I will probably still replace the costumes with some default placeholders on the next version of kit.



Awesome! Thanks for testing.



It does work on PM or whatever mod you want to use, just gotta know how to GCT Edit. Which most people here fail miserably at.

Anyways Marth works he will just use FitMarth03.pac as blue team, not the purple one or whatever it currently is.

Chard, Squirtle, and Ivy my guess is they have a code affecting them.

Here are the original Costume offset for said characters.
0x80455620 804553AC Charizard
0x80455630 804553B8 Squirtle
0x80455640 804553C4 Ivysaur

First column is memory address second is the value at that address.

So using the search feature on your text file
search for 804553AC [chard], and replace with 80455334
search for 804553B8 [squirt], and replace with 80455334
search for 804553C4 [Ivy], and replace with 80455334

It should work now.


You're problem here is that either you don't have or messed up putting in this code.



Beyond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where have you been? get on skype.



Idk try it! But it would probably freeze.



If you don't care about the SSS stockicons then just use the default Dark Flaming Blue. If even default freezes then you messed up something else.



If even regular costumes freeze then it is not related to cBliss.
If you're using stage expansion check your customstage files.



Don't forget you need the Result portraits as well.
\pf\menu\common\char_bust_tex\MenSelchrFaceB000 - 460



The XML in the Riivo Kit is already Stage Expansion compatible.
If you don't know how to .rel port stages then that's another case.



Glad it works for you on dolphin now.
As for the GCT files you can only use ONE.
Idk why you tried to convert the GCT back to TXT file.
You should just make a new text file and copy your codes there and THEN create a GTC file.
Here is a nice tut by me. =P
http://lsteam.proboards.com/thread/364/noob-guide-gct-file (http://lsteam.proboards.com/thread/364/noob-guide-gct-file)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The common problem I see here, is people going about doing their own thing and failing miserably.

Here is a tutorial to GCT making by me.
http://lsteam.proboards.com/thread/364/noob-guide-gct-file (http://lsteam.proboards.com/thread/364/noob-guide-gct-file)

I can also see many of you are using GCT Edit, why you don't have the original text files for your codes is beyond me, but you should really learn how to GCT Edit.

When using GCTEdit
Copy the TXT file [Bottom Left window]
Into a new notepad file and then follow the GCT tutorial by me.
I don't recommend the "Add code" button on GCTEdit.
You must ALWAYS check for duplicate codes; use the crt+f [find] function to search for dupes since most of the codes are going to be piled up in an unknown code chunk.

Also when you make a freezing post [<.<]
Say if silent or beep, where it froze, and what exactly were you trying to do.
Also might as well post your codes while you're at it...


I REALLY recommend people to have a text file for their codes, so you don't have to mess with GCTEdit.

And please I gave you a private folder for a reason.
If you have an old private folder
copy the contents if the old into the cBliss one and not the other way around. You guys seem to be forgetting files.

Mandatory files are:
sc_selcharacter.pac [Gecko Only]
sc_selmap.pac [Gecko Only]
common5.pac [Riivo Only]
MenSelchrFaceB000.brres - MenSelchrFaceB460.brres [BOTH Riivo and Gecko]
InfFace001.bress - InfFace470.brres [BOTH Riivo and Gecko]

i figured out my problem... it might help you as well... i completely erased my portrite folder... char_bust_tex and result stage... and replaced them with the ones included... and that completely fixed my problem... give it a try and see what happens... (keep back up of your old stuff in case it still doesnt work)

 :>.>palm:
You telling me you didn't even include the files I provided FOR A REASON, and decided that keeping your old ones were fine?

I gave you a private folder because YOU NEED IT for this, so please use it.

oh no i added them of course... but the files that i had before... like the battle portraits   i previously made for my costumes i wanted to keep... "it asked would you like to replace?" and i was like no... i want to keep the pics i already made... that's what i meant by that xD

Yeah... that's still bad. Idk what you were expecting.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

So for everybody, if you copy your old private in to cBliss private and it asks you to replace
YES REPLACE.


With cBliss you'll have to redo your CSPs, BPs, RSPs, and StockIcons, manually ALLOVER again yes. Because Costumes are re-arranged to go in the order of the .pac/.pcs.

well if it's any consolation... everything woks absolutely perfectly :D just gonna have to spend a day redoing my bps csp's and finding more quality hacks :srs: but that's the fun of it all! :D thank you so much for this amazing hack! you're the best! (my problem may be FAQ worthy?) idk anyway thanks again!

Well, I had actually the same problem like Legend of Jesse but now I replaced all files again, it's now even worse than before. When selecting a stage it freezes. Only thing left of my original stuff are the characters, stages & rels that worked perfectly, common4.pac, sounds and the info_en.pac. Everything else is replaced (did it twice).
Before replacing the stuff I was able to play with my hacks & only the custom slot Foxs.

Don't understand it. Even replaced the sc_selmap, now the textures for each slot are gone and like in the beginning but it just freezes.

I know I'm already becoming a pain in the ass.
 :>.>:

Since the update renders the first question irrelevant, does anyone have an answer for the second question?

How bout you copy the cBliss kit as is to your sd card and worry about your other stuff later.
Add the characters you want.
And after you see that everything works fine.
Start adding your other stuff one at a time to see if anything odd happens.


If you open FitGameWatch00.pac  that comes with cBliss with BrawlBox you will see 2 AnimationData[0] the two very first ones.
When you expand them you will see the first one has CLR = FitGameWatchColorAnim
and the second one has CLR = WpnGameWatchColorAnim
From those 2 animations is how GnW get his colors.
From there you can edit the colors yourself or get the hack you wanted open it in bbox
go to those 2 CLR change the frame count to 10 on both and edit the colors for the new frames.
You can edit the frame colors after you expand all the way to TevColorReg0 in there each row is a costume.
the last Row however is irrelevant but you need to have it so Gnw loads the last 09 color.

Don't forget to save as .pair so you can have both the .pcs and .pac

Might sound strange, but it didn't work. Deleted my private folder, replaced it with yours and added the RSBE01.gct to the codes folder. Still freezes when pickung up a stage. I'm almost giving up.

So I have to depend on a package someone might upload so I can use and change it, too. I can't imagine what the error is. v_v

...
Yes after doing all of what you did you have to actually add the characters then...

Of course, but I didn't choose one of the custom slots. ^^
I used original Mario (00 (no hack)) and one of your Fox's you added.

Nice, well explained and detailed. I'm sure a lot of people will be using this.

Congrats on the big success ;)

Suggestion: As I suppose many people are using an iso, and not the original disc to play, it would be cool if you prepared a batch file to use with WIT so the extra needed files are always inside the iso file and things like forgetting to replace a costume in the sd card don't freeze the game. If you're not familiar with WIT, here's the homepage:

http://wit.wiimm.de/ (http://wit.wiimm.de/)

You can extract all the files from an iso, add files to the folders generated, and build the iso again with the added files. I've done it before with the stage expansion.

My God.

This might even save me a ton of file space on my SD card.  :af2:

Now I just gotta learn how to use it.. :srs:

Someone hasn't tested the extra character slot yet?.
I have tried it and it works, but in the CSS it shows a random icon and when you approach to it, the game freezes.
Also, I'm having another issue, the game freezes randomly for some reason after using an extra costume in the first match...

Wow. Just to think the reason I couldn't get it to work is just because I spelled the "char_bust_tex" folder wrong. Just one little screw up can blow everything over.

Still in a process of downloading and reorganizing my costumes to fit the new format, but from what I gather in the comments you say a default SSS or expanded one will work, but just won't display the additional stock icons? Because that's fine with me, I'm too lazy to change them all anyway and nobody really looks at em.
Hoping I'll have everything setup so I can start messing with CBliss on its own tonight, then move on to adding in the extra character slot over the next couple days.

This sort of worked, thanks! All the colours are showing up on the CSS.

There are still issues with a few colours though, like Squirtle's blue team colour for example.
The conflicts I'm pretty sure are coming from the PM codes which use the default costume as team colours. The ones that they've changed are like so:

Marth's uses 00 as his blue team, 03 is used as a seperate colour
Charizard uses 00 as his red team, 01 is seperate
Squirtle uses 00 as his blue team, 03 is seperate

I think that's it, the odd thing is that I was getting inconsistent crashes, like Marth would sometimes crash, Squirtle would sometimes crash, etc.

Though I really don't know much about codes, so it's probably the way I'm putting the two codesets together. How would you recommend merging them?

ASF1nk, I love how you say that the included BPs and CSPs are needed because they're arranged differently and don't mention that they use CMPR format instead of CI8, which uses more memory space than CMPR. That is most likely why the games have been freezing on places like the Results Screen and such, because the game is trying to load more memory than it can.
I had the same thing happen to me a while back when I tried to make CSPs and BPs more detailed by using the RGBA8 format, but it'd keep freezing on me until I changed it back to CI8, where less memory is needed.

Thanks mewtwo2k! I'll take a look at WIT and see what I can do.



Random Icon means you're missing the CSS fixes for Giga & Company code.


Yeah, I know that's where most people getting freezes are messing up.
The tiny details.


Oh they work with the stockicons all I said was that they were not necessary.


I know what the problem is.
I had no idea they were editing the Wario costumes, but turns out they are.
Here is Wario's default costume offset.

Wario Costume color offset
0x80455334 05000001
0x80455338 02050302
0x8045533c 08040103
0x80455340 02060007
0x80455344 01090308
0x80455348 070A090B
0x8045534c 0C000000

Search for the values in the first column with out the first 80.
If any match delete the whole line.
For example you will search first for 455334.
then 455338, etc.



Wait so you're saying I changed the portraits to CMPR, and that C18 loads more memory than CMPR. And because I changed to CMPR that some how means the game is loading more memory than C18?  :notimp:

NO.

CMPR format has NOTHING to do with the freezes.
It just goes easier on the filesize which is a GOOD thing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BTW here are the original Costume offsets just in case.


This can be used to turn off cBliss on characters you want.
Just replace in the All Roster has Costume Offset FIX. v2 code.
Characters are in the same order.
Only do this if you have mastered cBliss. If you don't even know what you're doing don't try please.

My brawl was crashing too, but I figured out the reason

you need the pac and the pcs file from EVERY SINGLE custom model on your Fighter folder
even if it isnt an extra costume slot..

You sure? Because the game froze on me when the CSPs and BPs used more memory....might've been because I used RGBA8 and WiiSchrubber that time, but still file size tends to add up when multiple files use more memory that they originally did. I could probably list how many times the game froze on me when using a couple of large hacks in a single match. Either way, it'll still help to have the CSPs and BPs use CMPR instead of CI8.

Actually not true, for gecko at least.
But hey if it works for you.


I don't think you have even bothered to take a look at the files...
They are CMPR. <_<

Does cBliss work with the extra character slot yet?
http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=59365.0 (http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=59365.0) - Extra Char Slot Forum

It seems to have worked, thank you! I haven't fully tested it, since I haven't added any extra colours, but the problem characters seem to work fine!
I completely forgot that the Project M team modified Wario, sorry about that! They swapped the order of the costumes, to switch the biker costume with the classic one, if I remember correctly.

Anyway, I'll fully test it later, thanks again!

I've been looking at the WIT thing I pointed out before, and I'm making some easy bat to extract the files from a disc into a folder, and then the default costume gets copied into the new ones. Here's what I got so far, I'm still working on it:

(http://i.imgur.com/pvdO3vN.png)

After all the costumes are copied, only an instruction like 'wit copy %path% game.iso' and you've got the new iso file named game.iso with the characters in it. That would just have copies of the standard costume for all the extra ones, but you avoid the possibility of freeze if some of them is missing in your sd card. You can also copy your custom ones into the iso file and forget about using the sd card for all the costumes.

Specially recommended for those who load brawl from usb.

I know they are, that's why I said that it was funny that you didn't mention the new ones being in a different format in the first comment. xD

So I've finally made that bat to be used with WIT.

Here's a vault entry with the bat files and all the info in the descryption:

http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=32279 (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=32279)

In short, WIT can quickly extract all the files inside a Brawl image file (iso, ciso, wbfs...) and put them all in folders. You can edit the files in those folders normally, and then write a new image file with the changes. I've included a bat that clones all the 00 characters into the not existing ones from 00 to 09 except for Wario and Game & Watch. It also clones the PT Final smash and Peach Entries. If you do that, you don't have to worry about not having certain costume in the sd card and the game freezing because of that. In fact, that same thing can be done for the stage expansion, you can add the needed .rel and .pac files so you don't get freezes when using the ASL with custom stage slots.

So well, hope this helps people and stuff.

How did you done it with stage expansion??? With Dantarion stage expansion or normal?
do you have the batch file that is apparently needed to run stage expansion stages on ISO files? :(

It worked, thanks! It fixed itself after I added the stage expansion pack. strange way to fix it, but hey it works.

@ Asf1nk

Well my glitch is fixed ^

Do you think your new CSS and SSS will work with cBliss or will filesize overtake it?

I did all of that before I posted :/ but it didn't work for me for some reason, I used the same program too (CodeMgr1.1), I put in these codes:


And this is what happens when I try to convert it to a GCT file:
I dunno what I'm doing wrong :/ on top of that, using this method won't let me save and it won't use my save file, so I don't have all of the characters :( but I'll worry about that part later.

This isn't working for me. When I type in the name of the folder I extracted my iso to for the CopyCharFiles batch, it keeps saying it can't find the path at all. I even tried doing a more detailed and literal path and it still couldn't find it. What gives?

I just have the folder named "Brawl" inside of bin.

Edit: So thanks to my buddy dRape, we found out there's a little mistake in your CopyCharFiles batch. The batch actually has to be inside made from the extraction rather than the bin folder where the other ones are.

If the was intentional, then it sure wasn't explained too well. >>



Okay, I have to be honest. This line here and a few others you've said bother me a lot.

You know, a good number of us are trying to do this for P:M and in case you didn't know, that doesn't come with a .txt file with all of the codes. You're really coming off as rather condescending with a lot of your remarks, to be honest. Is it too much to ask for you to explain a bit more calmly instead of talking to us as if we were ignorant children? Because maybe it's just be, but it sounds like you don't really want to help us from your tone and attitude.

We're thankful for this and everything. We just all want to figure out what we're doing wrong or possibly missing. Be a little more patient.

You're NOT using the same program, that's what you're doing wrong. You have that crappy version of the code manager that refuses to export more than 256 lines. Get the one from the tutorial ASF1nk posted.

Try: Brawl\DATA\

Already edited that into my last post, but thanks.

Now if I can just get this working right with P:M. I did everything I needed to do to edit the GCT, but instead of loading the alt Fox outfits that came with cBliss, it loaded the default Fox in all the new slots. G&W's new colors worked correctly, though.

Maybe I'm just completely misunderstanding the problem there, but if the PMBR decided that they didn't want people to customize their codeset, then I don't really see how it's ASF's duty to do the work for them and adapt his codes to their stuff? I mean, that's kind of a part of the deal when you go for a product which is not meant for customization.

If you guys want to have those codes working properly into P:M, I would suggest going to the PMBR guys and asking them to add ASF's codes to their codeset and fix the problem themselves. If ASF is okay with them adding his stuff in P:M, that is.

Yeah, you're right.

You are completely misunderstanding the problem here. Also, it's not that the PMBR doesn't want anyone customizing anything, it's just that things are still unstable with them still doing demos and not going "Gold" just yet, which is why they've stated they wouldn't be giving out text files of any sort until that was no longer the issue.

Besides, I don't see why we shouldn't try to use mods with mods, as that's what we're always doing anyways. That never stopped anyone who played Brawl+, Brawl-, Balanced Brawl, and of course there's still vBrawl in general.

But yes, you're misreading. He's stated that this works just fine with P:M. None of us seem to be able to get it to work despite what he's said to do, however, aside from one person who I'm hoping will come back on and just plain share his files to make our lives easier. I'm asking "How does this work?" not "Make this work NOW!".

More to the point, my problem is with his attitude in his posts when people are trying to understand what to do. Not just those of us using P:M, but everyone in general. He's really not being that patient or considerate with anyone by going "You shouldn't even try if you don't know what you're doing" or other things that could discourage people from trying to learn how this confusing thing works.

And about that last part...Are you serious? I can't believe you even suggested that. You KNOW that's not gonna work. XD

There's been almost 10 pages of people asking for help just like you, in just a few days, and ASF has been regularly updating with new codes, and offsets, and other shiny things to make all this more user-friendly. It's already pretty impressive, by these standards, that he managed to answer so many questions, most of them due to the users not even focusing and making dumb mistakes.

This thing has been out for 3 days. Just be patient, and you'll get your answer eventually, without having to pressure ASF into writing paragraphs on all the possible things that could [censored] up.

The batch is flawless for me O.o

If, say, the mario folder is in /bin/Brawl/files/fighter/mario, it will work. If for some reason WIT puts an additional folder between 'Brawl' and 'files' or something, then it won't work. Maybe my iso lacks some partition or something and there's less folders in the structure...

Well the glitch is back, it worked for one match but every other time after it froze. I ended up erasing the files off my sd card and just added the riivolution cBliss pack with no changed files but it still freezes everytime at the SSS.

I am guessing either the riivolution mod launcher was patched poorly and doesnt like to run the files often or i have a corrupt sd card. Because i know for a fact that it's not my files or additional codes now.

Is anyone else getting freezes at the SSS regardless of if the character is modded or not? Like i will have default mario vs default dk and it will freeze.

Are the cBliss pac/pcs files required? like 06, 07, 08, 09.pac/pcs even if we are just loading default mario? I don't see why we would but I keep getting freezes at the SSS.

Sorry to be such a pester, I just could not imagine turning such an incredible mod like this down.

EDIT:

Completely formatted the sd card and added the Riivo pack and it still freezes. I even tried a few of the other Hooks like KPad and JoyPad but it still freezes at the SSS. I wonder if i have a corrupt save data or something because I don't know what else it could be.

Well, you can add create= "true" after resize="true" in the
info/portrite line in the xml provided in the Riivo Kit to see if that worked.

Is it possible to change a character's color in sse mode? That would be awesome :)

Same problem. My hope is that someone, where cBliss + Stage Expansion are working, can upload something like a template (gct file + Riivolution.xml + sc_selmap (with all the custom slots)) so all you need is to replace the music, the stages, the characters, the CSPs, etc.

Did the same as you, but Brawl keeps freezing, wonder why. Just chose the Fox character's that were added to the package or the original characters, but surprise surprise: freezing.

@ASF1nk
did you see my PM since i wanted to know if what i said was possible with this code

I have a problem , too ....
If i want to take another costume (the new costumes), my game freeze ...  :-\

I dont copy the Riivolution.xml , because i don´t know if i need that as Pal user.

though i am happy   ;)

I hope some Pal users can help me  :)

I seem to fail everytime when I try to replace the pat files MenSelmapPlayer1/2/3/4_TopN in my sc_selmap file with the one in cbliss  :P

it keeps freezing at sss.

But I'm glad I was able to replace the pat in stgresult, all eight of em' work fine.

To recap.

"It does work on PM or whatever mod you want to use, just gotta know how to GCT Edit. Which most people here fail miserably at.

Anyways Marth works he will just use FitMarth03.pac as blue team, not the purple one or whatever it currently is.

Chard, Squirtle, and Ivy my guess is they have a code affecting them.

Here are the original Costume offset for said characters.
0x80455620 804553AC Charizard
0x80455630 804553B8 Squirtle
0x80455640 804553C4 Ivysaur

First column is memory address second is the value at that address.

So using the search feature on your text file
search for 804553AC [chard], and replace with 80455334
search for 804553B8 [squirt], and replace with 80455334
search for 804553C4 [Ivy], and replace with 80455334


I know what the problem is.
I had no idea they were editing the Wario costumes, but turns out they are.
Here is Wario's default costume offset.

Wario Costume color offset
0x80455334 05000001
0x80455338 02050302
0x8045533c 08040103
0x80455340 02060007
0x80455344 01090308
0x80455348 070A090B
0x8045534c 0C000000

Search for the values in the first column with out the first 80.
If any match delete the whole line.
For example you will search first for 455334.
then 455338, etc."

That should really be it for PM.



That's awesome, do you mind if I post it in the OP?



Obviously you're using the wrong version.
Download the one in the tutorial...
-------------------------------------------------
To people using Riivo turns out you do need ALL the character files including the defaults.
Sorry for not testing that, as you know I'm not a Riivo user.

But yeah try adding all the files even the default ones and see if it works.
I'll upload a new version with all character needed soon.


EDIT:


Yeah I got it and it's possible I just don't want to confuse people with other codes.


I think PAL users need their own XML someone please verify that.
And if so please share.


like I said the SSS is not really necessary, it is just included on the Kit because it has the stockicons. You can choose to op out of it and use the default one if you like.

Alright, I've tried this out this morning, and everything worked flawless with P:M. Thanks for helping me get it working!

I've been running P:M with cBliss and the Alternate Stage Loader with no problems, so I can confirm that it all works.

(If anyone needs help getting this to work with P:M, inbox me!)

Just gunna post thia to keep track of this thread

does this mean we won't have to use winimage to mess with the SD.raw AND we can use wiiscrubber to edit our iso's?

Yes to the first, cause you can have all your hacks in your iso and no need to use a virtual sd anymore. For the second, I'm not sure, wiiscrubber may not work well with the re-made iso, but anyway, changing the files once they're extracted and build a new iso with the changed files will always be faster and safer than using wiiscrubber.

Just an update, I setup all of the basic files to test if this works for me or not. When selecting Mario's unchanged default the game never loads past the SSS.
I figure it's because I don't have it replaced, so all files might need to be present for Gecko users as well. Gonna download the defaults and give her another run.

Thank you :D, the funny thing is that my friend said that yesterday, but it was the only version I could find at the time, but then when I went back to the tutorial that ASF1nk and downloded that one, so thank you for that :) that did the trick as far as combining codes thankfully, but then I ran into another issue with the Stage Expansion part, after combining both codes and copying all the files from the Melee/ 64 Stage Expansion rar, my stage select looks like this now:
But being that this is the cBliss thread, I don't wanna hassle anyone here about that, I'll have to figure out what's wrong by asking the guy that made the Stage Expansion pack

Man, could you please do me a favor and post/send by PM your GCT file so the PM players can have it? It would be a lot easier now that you said you figured it out.

It would be greatly appreciated man.

Found a glitch for ya, selecting the same costume slot with 2 or more people using the Pick Any Colour code gives a silent freeze at the SSS when you pick a new slot. This is the code.

Ok upon further testing Riivo it is not that the characters need their default costumes it's something else.
I'm guessing it's the XML.

And no Gecko does NOT need the default costumes at all.



Yeah, don't use that code obviously.

Well the good news is that it loaded the outfits perfectly and worked.

The bad news is, it froze when the match started. Fox and Game & Watch appeared just fine, but froze right after that. After G&W came in, to be exact. Just as it was about to say "GO!".

Anyone else having this problem?

Well I put in the files for FitMario00 and now he loads up fine. All of the other costumes I had replaced previously and they work fine, same with the new ones added on CBliss so Idk.
I guess it's just happening to mine for some reason? Either way it's working fine now, great stuff!

Edit as not to flood the thread: I had the same issue again with any Kirby mods added with CBliss that didn't have corresponding files on my SD for Dk, Falco and etc transformations. Copied the default ones multiple times and now it works fine. So yeah, for me if I don't have the required files for costumes on SD it just doesn't load into the stage. Doesn't crash because I can still access the home menu, but it never loads farther.
You said you didn't have this issue with gecko, so perhaps this is a USB related issue? Either way, it's easy to fix, so I thought I'd throw it out there as something to try if other people have the same issue.

Now I just tried it for Sonic. Both my 03 and 06 Sonics load up just fine, but as soon as it's about to say "GO", it freezes.

Maybe there's something else wrong elsewhere.

I used WIi backup fussion to modify my brawl iso, its WIT program, but
user friendly, really user friendly,this is the url:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/wiibafu/files/?source=navbar (http://sourceforge.net/projects/wiibafu/files/?source=navbar)

My stage expansion have no frezees anymore, but dantarion stage expansion isnt compatible with a moddified brawl iso,

I guess that this program can be used to add the extra pac and pcs on a brawl iso game, i will do that one of these days

Okay, even NORMAL outfits are freezing now. What's wrong with this friggin code?

All the outfits load just fine, but no matter what I did, the game ALWAYS freezes everytime the game tries to say "GO!" at the beginning of the match, and changing the info.pac in the info2 folder doesn't help either. Even using the vanilla file for it doesn't help. No matter what I do it just keeps freezing again and again and again. It's the only problem I'm having now and I wasn't having it until I got Taiko's gct, since he's the ONLY person who has been able to get this working with P:M.

Seriously, I'm fresh out of patience. What the hell is wrong with this thing? No instructions are helping and repeating them over isn't going to magically help us either. No, defragging doesn't help either. It's not a magical "fix everything" button and I did give it a shot.

I'm starting to think that this just won't work right with P:M unless someone from thee takes a look at it, but seeing as it keeps getting ignored whenever it's brought up in their Social Thread, I don't think the PMBR is even interested in cBliss, so that's probably not happening either.

Yea. I've been getting silent freezes on some hacks, even though I have the hacks named correctly and the PAC being bigger than the PCS.

You know, this has been bothering me for awhile.

ASF1nk, have you actually tested cBliss in P:M for yourself? Like done everything you've said and repeated (several times) for it to work and actually gotten it to work? Or are you just telling us what "should" work with nothing but your word to back it up?

And if you have tested it and gotten it to work...Then why haven't you just uploaded those files and pasted a link here to make things easier for everyone?

Alright, just finished testing filling every CBliss slot with various mods and I can happily report that I had no issues aside from that one I mentioned earlier. Everyone works perfectly! Now for the painstaking process of setting up all the CSPs.
But anyway, once again amazing stuff here and it all works like a charm!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zxehz4fuc1gq21m/Project%20M.txt (https://www.dropbox.com/s/zxehz4fuc1gq21m/Project%20M.txt)

This is my text file here for P:M with the cBliss stuff added after getting rid of the lines you specified and after modifying the ones for the Pokemon characters.

No matter what I do, the match loads up just fine and so do the extra textures, but the second the announcer tries to say "GO!" the game locks up and freezes.

I've tested the files outside of P:M and everything works fine. It's something about the GCT, and I followed everything you said to a tee and did it several times and even used Taiko's gct and it STILL did the same thing, which makes me think there's a bit of an error in what you told us to do.

So if you could, please actually test things out in P:M yourself in order to find out what works, could you?

Just curious, but have you tried MW's 3.5.3 File Patch Code? I just finished filling up all my characters with a bunch of testures. Just need to double check that I've got the PACs and PCSs done all correctly. Reading through the last couple of pages, am I right in saying that you *need* default textures (fitcharacter00) whether you want altered ones or not?

*Subscribes*

I may have some solutions. I have a lot of experience with customizing the PM codes since I'm a member myself, and I have a very customized version of PM that I use for myself.

First of all, tell me EXACTLY what was changed. I don't wanna go read through all the pages.

1. What codes did you change around?

2. Did you edit or change .rels at all?

I get that type if freeze if I do any of the above.

Sometimes I get that freeze randomly. If I defragment my SD card, it usually fixes it. So I would try that also.

I'm going to try to find a way to help you guys out and get this working with 2.5b.

If this is what a lot of people want, we should start a new thread for it

"All the pages"? The answer to the question you just asked was 2 posts below the post you quoted, as well as up higher on THIS page.



If that's not enough, just look at the list of things ASF1nk said to do to begin with, because that's exactly what I did and nothing more as far as the codeset goes.


And like I said, I've tested the files outside of P:M and they all work just fine, including the modified menus. The problem clearly lies with the parts ASF said to modify.

I feel like I'm so close, yet so far from making all of this work, I tried everything I could with what I know to combine cBliss with Melee/64 Stage Expansion, but for some reason, I get this now:
Rather than this (which is what I had when the Stage Expansion pack was by itself):
I'm about to give up. Does anyone have a .gct file with all of that included in it? (Melee/64 Expansion and cBliss and possibly Unlock all characters)

Wario is edited because we have his Classic costume as the default costume for his slots. However, the character .pacs/.pcs Are the same. The code must just affect the order they appear in the CSS.

For Zard and the Pokemon, we have team slot edits. Default Zard is red team, and we have a new recolor in the 01 slot.

Same with the other characters with slot edits.

I think I have access to the original .txt with the labeled codes. I'll take a look at that sometime soon.

I can't give you guys the .txt, but I'll look for the codes relating to what ASF said could cause issues.

I will need help with this, since coding is not at all my specialty.

I was having the Go! freeze when I improperly edited my .xml file. Perhaps you should review yours, if you're using Riivolution that is.

USB Loader. I'm a Gecko user.

Edit: Well Nano, I hope you have better luck than I did. I definitely don't plan to waste more time on this thing. It's not worth the trouble. >>

Let us know if you get it working.

No sorry I haven't, I've just been using 3.5.1.
I only needed the default textures because I had nothing replacing them. As long as a FitCharacter00 is found on my SD card that costume would load without problems. The same happened to me for Kirby's transformations that use his full model (DK, Falco, Snake etc, I believe there's a few more but I can't recall them atm.). Apparently they shouldn't need to be there, but I find they had to be for me to load it.
If you're already replacing FitCharacter00 with mods then you shouldn't have anything to worry about at all.

I just came back to KCMM since 2010 for this code alone. Great job!

I am also getting silent freezes BTW. It is to note that I am trying to make it work with PM via en edited .gct file that worked well for another user. This is a copy of the message I sent him.

Note that this was a silent freeze, which according to ASK1nk, it should only mean the game is trying to load a file but can't find it. After various attempts, I decided to erase everything on my SD card and try again. I did the following:

1) Downloaded Project M 2.5b Full Set
- Extracted it into my SD Card (empty).

2) Downloaded cBliss 1.5 [Wario Fixed]
- Extracted it into my SD Card and replaced any duplicate file.

3) Downloaded cBliss Modified PM.zip
- Extracted everything to my SD card, and again, replaced any duplicate file.

The game loaded perfectly, then I arrived at the Character Select Screen. The custom "06", "07", "08" etc. CSPs were all visible. Selected "06" Fox and "07" Fox to fight. When into the Stage Selection Screen when I noticed the symbol for the "Dracula Castle" stage was now replaced with that it originally replaced, "Luigi's Mansion". Chose Final Destination, Smashville, and Battlefield, and the game silent froze every occasion.

I load the game with the Homebrew Channel and load the codes with the Gecko provided by the Project M website.

What could it be? I also tried loading the game before step 3 (on step 2) and the game loaded with a different CSS and a different order of CSPs (correct 6-10 order). Chose 06 and 07 Fox again and the little icon on top (below P1 and P2 at the SSS) were shown as blue and red boxes instead of Fox's face. Would greatly appreciate any help.

@MrUnusual
Just delete the sc_selmap.pac and use the one that came with Melee/64 stage expansion.
------------------------------------
Okay guys, I personally went and tested cBliss for PM and works fine for me so far.
Only issue I saw is that independent Pokemon freeze when selecting the same color. Pokemon Trainer wouldn't let you do this normally, but for obvious reason this was by design by the PMBR.

Anyways, here is what I did step by step.
Open PM's 2.5b gct on GCTedit
Copy TXT to note pad.

Added cBliss codes
at the bottom of the txt.

Copied the Battle Portraits replaced all
Copied the Result Portraits replaced all
Opened PM's Common5.pac and replaced sc_selcharacter with the one from cBliss.
Left sc_selmap alone.


For testing I added 06, 07, 08, 09 .pac/.pcs to Captain Falcon
and 05, 06, 07, 08, 09 .pac/.pcs to Ivy, Chard, Squirt.
Tested in Game
Defaults for other characters worked fine.
New costumes for Captain falcon including default ones worked fine.
New costumes for pokemon and default ones worked mostly fine.
The Ind. Pokemon in PM let you choose the same color [As they intended]
but if you choose lets say Squirtle 00 and Ivy 00 it will freeze.

Here is the Text file For PM. (https://www.dropbox.com/s/eyp9lu4rw1drtam/cBlissforPM2.5b.txt)

EDIT:
I should mention this was tested in Gecko.

EDIT2:
Should have mentioned this was the Wifi Safe version of PM.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Riivo people upon further testing
I noticed a few errors on the XML and on the CSPs for Wario.
He is still missing his last 2 costumes.

But so far seems like you need to have all the character files before testing
That means FitCharacter00.pac/.pcs to FitCharacter09.pac/.pcs.
If you only put lets say FitFalco06.pac/.pcs the game will likely freeze even if you selected FitFalco00.pac/.pcs
So, Please try adding all the character files before testing and see if it works for you.

Ah well, I'll be trying it myself soon anyhow. But yeah that's what I was trying to find out, that you NEED to have the files present on the SD Card whether you want mods for those slots or not. Nice to know!

This is freaking awesome and I love it! After spending two days getting my UI into the provided cBliss v1.5 PAC files, making a list of all my skins, and getting them on the SD card, things are playing smoothly! I haven't hit any snags yet and I tested skins all day long, including special ones like FitSonic03 (with skin added) and FitMario00 (no skin, defaulting to disc) Thanks a lot! So many characters have too many good skins to fit so this helps a lot! (if not just gives me something more to do in preparing SDs) Now to finish making CSPs & BPs for all the new skins I'm using!

Are there any plans (or is it even a possibility?) to make it so each character's #7-9 skins are a second set of team battle skins like Wario's? I'd be ecstatic if you got that working.


For reference: I'm playing Brawl+ (used Mewtwo2000's GCT Fusionizer (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=20040) program, may wanna add that to the OP) using the latest Configurable USB Loader and an un-modded ISO with File Patch Code 3.5.1.



I don't play P:M (as noted above) but as for why the images and names that were originally replaced but are no longer replaced I do have an answer. The PACs in the kit are clean for vBrawl, thus they have the original UI (User Interface). To replace the images of your UI with the P:M images you've been using, go into your corresponding P:M PACs and Extract the following files, then Replace them into the cBliss PACs:

sc_selcharacter
MiscData[30]: Character Select Screen Data
MiscData[70]: Character Select Icon Data (maybe not but I did)

sc_selmap
MiscData[20]: Stage Select Screen Miscellaneous Data (likely not but I did)
MiscData[80]: Stage Select Screen Data

If you've made any personal modifications to the UI of Group Mode (like personal CSIs or SSP, or more likely ASF1nk's flaming CSS/SSS UIs) these are the areas they are likely in (among the two vBliss PAC files) Simply take them from your current ones and put them into the cBliss ones and it should look exactly like you're used to. I did exactly this with ASF1nk's Dark Flaming Blue CSS/SSS UI modified for Brawl+ and the only difference is the additional CSPs!

ASF1nk: Feel free to add this information to the OP if you feel it's needed.

HMM
-i think there is a major bug with the CSS organizer software, it keeps giving me a corrupted sc_selcharacter.pac file
-the new brawlbox is not compressing the sc_selcharacter files correctly, I needed to use brawlbox 67b
-some of the letters inside the CSS v3 code, within the link you gave in reference, are not capatilized; i dont know if that exports a corrupted gct or not so watch out for that

Welp, the good news is, the game doesn't lock up at "GO!" anymore. Everything seems to be okay.

The bad news, however, is that L-Canceling isn't working correctly anymore, now. I had no issues pulling it off before. Just press the L or R button as you're landing from an aerial attack and you'll flash white, indicating that you've pulled it off and will reduce and cancel out of landing lag. It was simple but useful.

But now it's not working. No matter how precise I am with it, it doesn't work. I've seen it come out maybe a couple of times where I decided to rapidly mash the R button as I was landing, but even with that it only happened twice, and that's nowhere near as efficient to begin with.

Edit: ...ASF1nk...You used the WiFi codeset instead of the normal one...Why? You need to use the normal codeset.

Because of that, there are no light presses and L-Canceling won't work right. Use the standard GCT for modifying stuff. Not the Wi-Fi one.

I have a quick question, what did you change in the STGRESULT.pac? I'd like to use this with a custom one, but it crashes.

Alright, I followed what you did and made the same changes to the Full Codeset.

Everything seems to work perfectly, I ran into some odd silent freezes on Squirtle and Ivysaur but I figured out what's the issue there. I've been using Mewtwo's batch files to add the additonal default costumes to my ISO, turns it didn't add Squirtle and Ivy's 05 costume which are exactly the ones that froze on me. After putting the respective pac/pcs files on my SD it worked.

So yeah, Mewtwo might want to fix that.

Here's my edited textfile. (https://www.dropbox.com/s/jau1oapth6vfgb0/PM%202.5b%20Full%20%5BcBliss%5D.txt)

EDIT: Picking the same costume for the Indi Pokes doesn't result in a freeze for me either.

Fixed the bat, thanks for the info  :kdance:

I copied over every file in the Melee/64 Expansion pack rar onto the sd.raw in WinImage. Looking through the rar though, I discovered that there is no menu2 folder in the Melee/64 Expansion rar (in neither v1 nor v2) which means that there's no sc_selmap.pac, because that's where that file is usually. In other words, the Melee/64 Stage Expansion rar didn't come with a sc_selmap.pac  :-\ I even downloaded the new, updated common5.pac the the guy who created the Melee/64 Stage Expansion and used that, did nothing :/

I got the chance to test this out for awhile before he posted it, and I gotta say it works flawlessly. Definitely get this if you want cBliss with P:M. XD

And now I'm all happy and stuffs. Sorry for getting so angry and frustrated before :3

I always wanted to use this tool, I've had it for awhile now, but I'm not quite sure if I follow. You mean to tell me you have a better way of editing iso's using something else besides wiiscrubber? If you do I'd really love to hear it, wiiscrubber is great and all but you just can't edit EVERYTHING with it, which is kinda aggrovating, also, I'm having a hard time using this tool as well.. how exactly does it work?

To everybody having problems adapting this to Project M, I am on the same boat, but I might have some progress.

I managed to make all of Fox's costume work, all of Game&Watch's costume work, all stage hacks work, all Project M codes work (air dodge like melee, wavedash, l cancel etc.), and all CSPs to work.

Before, I could only select the new Fox costumes, not the original ones. I replaced the sc_selmap file in Project M with the one provided in the cBliss download (also copying the new file into the "menu2" folder) and it worked.

I tried changing the game to have Project M's aesthetics (currently working version has Brawl's SSS and white background on CSS) by replacing Modules [30], [40], [50], and [70] in sel_character with the ones in Project M but the game began to freeze again.

My complete step by step process is below for anyone that wants to get at my stage. I imagine the game should work perfectly fine if you don't mind the Brawl aesthetics. Other problems I experienced wit the current build is that Zelda froze the game when I selected her black costume, but the rest of the characters (didn't test the individual pokemon) didn't. Training Mode also freezes the game but other modes such as Special Brawl, Home-Run, and Target mode work.

Full Steps:

Now it works perfectly for me!
The only problem was that every slot of the character you choose needs a pac & pcs file, just as you said. :)

Glad I could help =D


Did you miss my post by any chance? We've already got it working perfectly fine, P:M asthetics and all.

Compile a GCT with the textfile I posted above and replace the P:M common5 with this one (https://www.dropbox.com/s/21fi5zylheo6g8s/common5.pac). There's no need to touch the sel_map, just make sure you have all the cBliss cosmetics and the STGRESULT in place.

Same. Seems kind of strange, but it works.


sc_selmap is a part of common5.pac. If you open it in brawlbox, you can export sc_selmap_en, rename it to sc_selmap, and put it in the pf/menu2 folder. That should work.


EDIT: Also... does anyone know how the popo/nana order works in cbliss? Which one is in front for which costumes? I don't think it's been mentioned yet.

Do I need anything on my menu2 folder? I replaced the common5.pac and now the game freezes  than before (I cant even select the new fox costumes)

EDIT:
Exported the selcharacter and the selmap files and no success.

You shouldn't have anything in the menu2 folder that isn't there by P:M default. So if you have the cBliss files in there delete them. The modified sel_char is already inside the common5 I uploaded and having it in menu2 seems to cause freezes on P:M.

If it still freezes, back up your textures, music, etc. and make a clean P:M install. Then add my GCT and common5 along with the cBliss stuff (minus the menu2 folder).

Tried it with only the 2 default files in the menu2 folder and it still froze. I have no idea what it can be.

I willl try a new clean PM install. Hopefully this time it will work.

Glad it's working for you.
I had already mentioned how to put the required cBliss stuff into the CSS, SSS and Result of your liking in the OP.



What.



It's just the Stock Icons. If you don't mind having mismatched StockIcons on the Result then don't bother with it.
Other wise the steps on what to replace are in the OP.



Congrats.
And yeah I should have mentioned it was the Wifi safe version of PM.

-------------------------------------------------------
PM people.
Okay so you know how I said Ind. Pokemon freeze when picking the same costume.
This is true on the wifi safe version, don't know the offline one.
This also affected having ivy selected and placing a coin on random, the game would freeze.

Here is the fix.

You know how, when you search for ''804553C4'' [Ivy] you get 2 matches?
you must delete this one:

06585E00 00000010
22FF1B1E 000019C6
804553C4 80000000  

You can just search for ''06585E00'' and delete that line and the two below it.

After that it should work fine when selecting suirt00 vs ivy00.

Anyways here is the fixed txt file for PM 2.5b WIFI Safe version. (https://www.dropbox.com/s/eyp9lu4rw1drtam/cBlissforPM2.5b.txt)

I've analyzed what the cBliss code does in Dolphin (my first time using the dolphin debug :D) and I've made a small mod that seems to be okay.

Basically, from what I understand, you copied the way the css works for Wario, but it's been cut to 10 slots instead of 12. Then you've used an additional place in memory to restore Wario's roster. Well, this makes biker Wario to be switched with the overalls wario in ProjectM, cause we've inverted the order so the overalls one is the default one. As you overwrite that, the icons don't correspond with the loaded character.

So what if we leave Wario alone? Just building the 10-chars slot in that space in memory used to restore Wario should work. And that's what I've done.

I've maximized the number of characters per slot, even the unused ones. I've removed the Wario 'fixing' code and I've made the color offset fix to point another place. We save 5 lines, and Wario is okay in ProjectM. And everything works and stuff.

Here's the codes, I guess this should update cBliss to v1.6 or something like that.


Never followed in memory what a gct code does before, but I've found it rather easy and interesting  :kdance:

Yeah I thought about doing it like that before.
Thing is a lot of codes use empty space in memory.
That's why I left the characters load from Wario and Wario from empty space.
That way if by any reason anyone uses a code that writes to the same empty space only Wario breaks and not all the other characters.

People would probably be just as dissatisfied even if it was just Wario that broke.

...Well, maybe in P:M. I don't know about vBrawl Wario ;)

For those that are interested, I have replaced all of the new costume slots with filler versions. Just use this to fill up your blank slots.
It contains the .pac and .pcs files for every character as well as the extra Kirby hats and Pokemon Trainer final smash .pacs. As an added bonus, the characters themselves are color coded as well rather than just plain black.

Grab them here. (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=32364)

Warning: it is a 80Mb download.

There's some version of the file patch code that needs the menu2 files to be put in /pfmenu2 instead of /pf/menu2, maybe that's the problem.


I don't really see the difference between having one character freezing and having all the roster freezing. If there's a freeze, in any case, a new empty space has to be found O.o

AWESOME WORK ASF1nk
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE
I THINK IT IS  LITTLE TOO DIFFICULT FOR ME BUT TO KNOW YOU HAVE CREATE THE POSSIBILITY TO INCREASE THE SLOT IS INCREDIBLE
GOOD CONTINUATION :)

I've frozen twice with this, but the freezes seem.. random.
The first time I had it, I loaded 4 Links at the same time, 3 of the 4 being on the expansion slots.  I pressed A on the stage and it loaded forever. (1 player and 3 CPU)
The second time, I had 3 Links (1 player and 2 CPU) and I was preparing the last one.  I opened the 4th CPU, then picked up the marker.  Moved like, one frame left and it froze.

I was able to get that sc_selmap, so thank you for that, but when I put that in there, I got this

That's... very strange. Are the blacked out stages a part of the pack, or are they just empty? It looks like the icons are missing, though I have no idea what would have happened to them.

There is something else you could try, though I'm not positive if it would work. I think it should, though - If I remember correctly, the sc_selmap in menu2 overrides the one in common5 when they both exist, but the game loads from common5 if there is no sc_selmap in menu2, so you could just try loading it up without having sc_selmap in the folder at all and making sure common5 is placed properly.

The black icons didn't come with the pack and the weird thing is if you look at the 1st pic, some of those icons are mis-assigned. For example, when I pick the Yoshi Story Icon, I end up in the Yoshi Island Stage, the 64 DK stage takes me to Jungle Japes, the black one after that takes me to Onett, Sector Z takes me to Corneria, pretty much all of those 64 icons take me to Melee Stages, the 1st black icon on the 2nd pic takes me to Big Blue and then all of the stages at the bottom starting after Final Destination 64 freeze the game. As far as what you said about sc_selmap, I figured that out in the process, I tried deleting sc_selmap entirely and using the one in the common5, they both did the same thing :/

But... there is something interesting, when I use the RSBE01.gct file that came with the Melee/64 Expansion pack (the gct that does not have any other codes in it) I get this:
But when I combine the cBliss and Melee/64 codes using ocarina and convert it back to a gct file, that's when I get those images with the black icons. I think the reason is because the code I use for Melee/64 Expansion is not the same as the one that's in the RSBE01.gct that the rar comes with (I found the text version online somewhere), but I don't have a way of comparing them because I don't know how to convert the original gct to a proper txt file so that I can use that.

I believe the same thing happened to me when I tried to combine that with my maxed out CSS(49 icons including all the gimmick characters possible like Alloys and separate Popo and Nana). Never found a solution other than just having to set everything up in the SSS by myself rather than using a pack.

So the code you're using doesn't come from the expansion pack? I assume when you say you found the text version online, you're referring to the Stage Expansion / Eternal Yoshi's Maxed Out SSS?

In any case, I agree that it's something in the code that's causing the blank spots. The only way I know to convert a GCT into text is using GCT Edit. It doesn't always label exactly which code is which, but if you just use it to copy all of the code from the Melee/64 Expansion, you can put it into a txt file with cBliss code and make that into a GCT.

]

In all honesty, that's probably the best way to go about it. Sure, the setup is tedious, but you know exactly how it's set up. When I added cBliss, I just copied my stages, codes and sc_selmap exactly as they were. I've had a couple of kinks to work out with cBliss, but none of them involved Stage Expansion.

What's so difficult about this? doesn't one just delete the line next to the character's name?

*edit*
Oh I see now, the first half doesn't match the actual code. What is this about?

I played around with it more and I FINALLY have everything working now, thank all of you sooo much! :D The only thing that sucks is some of the interactive melee stages don't work, they freeze, like Brinstar Dephs, Mute City and Poke Floats for example, but at this point, I'm so glad I got all of the other things working that I don't really care haha, took me 5 days to do this thing and for ASF1nk, I have a gift for you. I did Simulator Sonic recolors for your cBliss, I will be posting them soon

The only problem I have are the icons for the Stage Expansion. When I replace MiscData[80].brres with my one (where all icons are replaced), the game freezes when I want to enter the SSS. What did I wrong? Everything else works!

btw: I also believe you need the FitGKoopa00.pac & pcs to make Bowser playable. When I used Bowser without that file the game froze, when I added that pac & pcs it worked. Dunno if they are necessary, however, Bowser didn't work for me without them.

i have also found random freezes... 4 cpu's all level 9 all random... went to a custom stage... this worked previously... and works with cbliss as well (most of the time) but the game loaded fine... but when i quit the game... it froze... (stgresult was the one you included) then i tried playing again... then the exact same thing happened... froze when i quit... so i did it again... and this time it worked fine... o.o tried to replicate the previous matches... and it just played normally...  so i shook my head and told myself it didn't happen xD haha then as i was selecting my character... all animations on my css stopped and it silently froze... o.o checked my sd card... nothing is corrupt... also had a friend of mine that brawls with me alot... and i sent him my entire sd card... (up to date ie two identical sd cards) we brawled online... and for the most part everything worked fine... but it froze like 3 times... on the practice stage... i promise you... every hack i have... is correct in every way... have tested it ALOT... it seems like i have tested litterally everything with cbliss... and have encountered no freezes with anything specifically... but for some reason it just seems like it freezes randomly... because it will freeze on a situation... then i would replicate it exactly... then it would work flawlessly... o.o any idea what could possibly cause random freezes?  (i hope i explain my situation clearly)

File size limit exceeded? I got nothing else, but it's worth checking at least.


Well Riivolution seemed to require every new skin be present in the SD card so I could kinda see that. I'm using a Gecko setup so that doesn't hinder me. (I don't use Final Smash skins in Brawl+; Items Off)


ASF1nk: How did you add the four extra counts in Mr.G&W's Color Sequences to make him have 10 "skins"? I've been poking around the files and trying different possible shortcuts in BrawlBox, but adding additional counts to Color Sequences just isn't obvious enough to figure out on my own. Searching through the forums yields no help. I love the Mr.G&W skin set I was using and want to extend it into cBliss so I can keep using it.

Already fixed the problem, I just exported the sc_selmap.pac and added it to the menu2 folder. Then I deleted it from the common5.pac, so yeah, maybe the common5.pac filesize was too much.

Well It's easier to trouble shoot someone saying only my Wario freezes, than someone saying X character froze and another person saying Y froze.

But yeah, either way switching where the characters grab the offsets from would make no difference, and at this time I just want to avoid more confusion.

I'm still debating Weather to post the codes so characters load from their default offsets + cBliss. [Character's using their default for teams again and vBrawl costume order]


Are you using Riivo?


Using Riivo by any chance?

I posted a few pages back how to edit Game&Watch.
I should probably add it to the OP.

----------------------------------------------
To the people using Stage Expansion, I would just continue using the SSS you were previously using and disregard the one on cBliss.
cBliss SSS only has the stockicons. Stage Expansion SSS are already very close the file size limit and adding stockicons would probably make it go over the limit.

I believe the people getting random freezes are using Riivo they happened to me too only on Riivo.
Don't know what it is yet, but I noticed it was while loading. Maybe Riivo is too slow at loading that it sometimes hangs?

Don't know but as of this moment I can only guarantee cBliss working fine on gecko.

I also got the cBliss codes for default costume loading ready to go.
These new codes will make it so it uses the default costumes offsets + cBliss.
So characters that used default as a team color would be back to normal,etc.
I'll probably wait a little more for things to settle, so I don't confuse people with new codes though.

Also to the people posting problems it would help a lot if you posted your method of loading, thanks.

Found it!
If you do add the info to the OP, great thing to note: BrawlBox v0.68c doesn't show frame count! Going back to v0.67b I see Frame Count plain as day but v0.68c doesn't show it or have a way to edit it at all. So much running around in circles because I "upgraded" BrawlBox... 

:>.>palm: Sorry for wasting your time.

Yep, I'm using Riivo so I have more than 2 GB of space.

That's because that pack is outdated, and some of those stages haven't been made yet. There is a Brinstar Depths now, but Mute City, Poke Floats, and Icicle Mountain aren't made yet. I've just replaced them with placeholders for now.

I think you need to add the extra FitCharacterSpy0X files for Pikachu, Jigglypuff and Sonic to the pack because I added these and I don't get freezing after matches anymore when using these characters.

...I forgot all about those! Mainly because I haven't ever played with the "Invisible" setting on in Special Brawl.

Nah. I'm using the version of the codes Mewtwo posted up earlier and having no problems, and quite frankly, I prefer the order the outfits are in now on the CSS. they're actually in their correct numbered order for everyone now, making things a lot less confusing. It should stay this way. :3

I haven't in ages and still don't but adding those files fixed the freezing results screen.

So, you have to have the Spy files and both pac and pcs for this to work?

I believe so, yes.

And one on each costume like Peach's entry?  (sorry, im about to use this and I don't want my game to freeze on me)

Yeah but only for Pikachu, Jigglypuff and Sonic. I may be wrong but it seemed to fix it for me.

Can you send me a Link to download them?  I can't find the mediafire ISO dump

Work great for me. Thanks ASF1nk!!!

Here you go (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ltr3ikhez685w0z/fighter.zip)

Thank you  :happy:

okay i have everything in and stuff but i lost my stage expasion and the stages dont even load up any way to fix that i use riivo

is it usable in PAL version?

Okay!

Got it up and running!

-I can CONFIRM it works with Mr. MW's 3.5.3 file patch code. Like Wariomanx said, using GCT Fusionizer is the best way to combine the two GCTs. Just remember that RSB4 is the PRIMARY folder that loads first, RSBE is the SECONDARY folder. Thanks blazingflare for your "filler pack" It made it quick and easy to test out the second folder.

-Not sure if it's maybe because I'm using an older release of the Classic Stage Expansion (I've already altered and swapped out some stages which is why I've been slow to update), but for what I had, all the stage icons are in the common5.pac, I had to extract MISCData80.brres and place it in the scselmap.pac

-Haven't had a chance to test them all out. Got a silent freeze when trying a pikachu texture, but loaded another one just fine. What other files are recommended to prevent freeziing, the spy and entry pacs, right?

I'd personally like that to happen. Otherwise, I'd have to make it for myself at some point. Not a big deal though, I've been messing with it and it's fun to edit.

Problems

4 marios in the same match freezes after it ends, even if the chars loads from the iso or the sd.  3 , 2. or 1 marios dont freeze
4 yoshis freezes before the game start. even if the chars loads from the iso or the sd
3, 2, or 1 yoshis dont freeze
4 diddy kong freezes before the game start. even if the chars loads from the iso or the sd
3,2, or 1 diddys dont freeze
3 marios and 1 yoshi, freezes.. sometimes
erased moddified selmap and tried again, same issues

Then I thought that I F---d up my iso, so I loaded the game without codes, and I didnt had any problem
and then I thought that I F---d up my selcharacter and selmap files, so I used CBLISS 1.5 default ones.. beeeeeeeep again

I want to try with CBLISS 1.1 codeset. I was happy with that codeset, I want to test with it
I tested with It. and I have the same Issues, well I want to test with CBLISS 1.1 KIT, not just the code..
i Tested CBLISS 1.1 codes ONLY, and it CBLISS worked with no ISSUES, ussing and not using CBLISS 1.1 kit

the colors or order are not relevant.. it just beeps when 4 copies of the chars i mentioned ar in  game, or after the match ends in the case of mario

I used normal and custom stages.. I have the same issues ..
i had tested 10 characters, the ones that I mentioned have issues only

Im using CBLISS 1.5

EDIT:

I FOUND THE REASON OF MY FREEZING ISSUES, after I tested FPC 3.5.3 with CBLISS 1.1 codeset.. My game frozee in the marios yoshis and diddys matches again... so my conclusssion is..

FILE PATCH CODE 3.5.3 is not compatible with CBLISS codeset...
well I can finally die.. lol

i am not using rivvolution... i am using gecko <-- (response to your question asfink)

Can this/is this compatible with any of the stage expansion hacks currently?  Because I was trying to do one that I downloaded quite sometime ago, (Before I added cBliss) it worked fine, but for whatever reason I didn't add it to the new files cause I started fresh sometime back and wanted to apply it but... beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.... so is there a way to have both work?

Check it out guys :D http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?ByUserID=14545&Moderated=0 (http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?ByUserID=14545&Moderated=0) After the headache of trying to combine those 2 perfectly, I feinally managed to do it, I'm not sure if this works with Project M or Riivolution, but this should be all you need to combine the cBliss and Melee/64 Expansion pack

THEY WORK, I use the +37 stage expansion, and dantarion expansion pack.. both work with CBLISS

Hmm, I'll have to try it with 3 or four of the same character. I've gotten a couple of random "silent freezes" (freezes on the SSS after the stage is selected) but it seems to work for me for the most part. If it is the 3.5.3 code, I think it's an acceptable (http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/143/193/cad-20080602-358b1.jpg?1309710446).

having random freezes at SSS using Riivolution? Well, I think I know why. When you select your characters on the CSS, you'll notice the light on your Wii will change from a pattern to flashes, meaning Riivolution is loading a file. If you don't let the file load, you get a freeze. If you let the light return to its streaming pattern, it will load.

This has been 100% consistent since I noticed it. Anyone willing to test?

I don't know if you're right, but I sometimes pressed the start-button as fast as possible, because I wanted to know the same. Nothing froze. It's just strange that some characters freeze randomly and in the next round it works.

For example 8bit Mario vs. 8bit Link vs. 8bit Kirby froze, and in the next round it worked.

yea that is what i assumed he meant when i installed cbliss xD

Yeah mine does that too , I also use riivolution

Is there a project M compatible version of this? Or do I just need to add the codes listed here to my current Project M .GCT?

I use Gecko and im having the same issue. At first play it freezes but after a few restarts of the game, it works. Curious

I've tried both loading through P:M and just Gecko and I get freezes every time I go to the SSS, even with plain, normal, unreplaced textures like 00 Mario and 00 Link. I think I might just have to start over from nothing again because I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've tried it about ten different times and nothing has changed.

Is cBliss usable in PAL version?

Sooo.... you're saying using cBliss 1.1 works? I'm a little confused by what you wrote.

I just tried the 4 Mario setup myself and I get a "loud" crash as the match ends. Tried it with both 3.5.3 and the included GCT with the standard FPC. Crashes both times. Even tried adding other files from the Brawl ISO like fitmariospy and fitmarioentry. Nothing.

EDIT: If you see this ASF1, using Gecko here.
EDIT 2: And yep, I do have your stgresult.pac in the stage/melee folder.

I've updated the iso tool with the character copying batch so it now copies the pikachu/jiggz/sonic spy files, just in case anybody cares.

Not that it really matters much for everyone else, but I started over with just the basic Project M 2.5b and rebuilt my card from scratch. I don't know what I did different from the first time, but I've got it working pretty well now. Haven't tested everyone yet, but Fox and Capt. Falcon work flawlessly, so thanks ASF1nk for something awesome that I was worried would never make it into the game! (Had to make sure I at least got it working first. :D)

can someone help me set up mine? it having stage freezing issues i cant even play the levels

Did the kit I posted help anyone at all?

i dont use dolphin i use my wii XD

lol I have to be more clear

CBLISS 1.5 and 1.1 works , but using File Patch Code 3.5.1
CBLISS 1.5 and 1.1 Freezes , but using FIle Patch Code 3.5.3

In other words All CBLISS versions are compatible with FPC 3.5.1

and All CBLISS versions are NOT compatible ( freezes with certain characters and randomly ) with FPC 3.5.3

Not a bad idea ill try this. And im also using File patch version 3.5.1

When you're using 3.5.3, are all the needed pac/pcs files in both sets of folders?

Have you tried the 3.5.3 in an edited iso with all the needed stuff in it?

I'll try to make make an easy patch for the wii too and I will test it out 1st with my wii. I use the dolphin over the wii because on the dolphin I can play in HD :P

^^this

Uh huh i started from scratch and now it works great.

Yes, I had all the files in both folders. I don't think it's 3.5.3 related though since I tried using the standard 3.5.1 and the standard RSBE folder with the standard code. The only thing aside from a couple of SSS freezes is using 4 Marios (only the extra textures) and it freezes before getting to the Results screen.

Has anyone else tried loading 4 Marios and getting to the Results screen? Just wondering if it's just me and shadow?

If worse comes to worse, maybe I'll just try mochtroid's advice and start fresh, but I'd hate to scrap all the work I've done if I can avoid it.

After I finish working on my Bowser Spec Map. Maybe I'll make some cBliss recolors for TLink myself.

I'm finishing up putting together a recolor pack for Ridley over Charizard with snoopy's imports of normal and Meta Ridley to look like his appearances in basically every Metroid he's been in. It may be annoying when it doesn't work, but when it does, hack editing just feels new and fresh again. :D

Answer to the first question:
my RSBE FOLDER wasnt filled with all the pac and pcs files, but I never used that folder to test CBLISS with FPC 3.5.3, I always used RSB4 folder, but this is not relevant anyway, because all the files that CBLISS needs to work are inside my Iso,
and.. the characters that I tested had 00-09 pac and pcs in RSB4 and RSBE folders

And to the second Question
Of course, I have the 00-09 pac and pcs of every character inside my iso,
and the 37 alternate stages are inside my iso, I did this because I wanted to save space in my SD x3

I really really tested CBLISS with FPC 3.5.3, and It beeped for me.. when I used especific charaters ( for example: 4 marios ALWAYS frezes, 4 diddys too , and 4 yoshis,but 3 marios and 1 yoshi  not always..)

CBLISS with FPC 3.5.1 just work flawless.. oh damn you gave me an idea... I will test FPC 3.5.3 without CBLISS, I will tell if It beeeps or not  -_-

EDIT.- You mean portraits, char_bust_ tex, selmap and selcharacter and stgresult.pac too?

Okay! Good news and bad news!

Good news is, I rebuilt the GCT from scratch with Notepad and Ocarina like ASF1 said. One with 3.5.3 and the other with 3.5.1. The 3.5.3 still crashed with 4 Marios, but the 3.5.1 didn't! Seems to work great now! I really would add to the OP that you MUST recreate your GCTs from scratch, since I know I'm not the first to have GCT problems.

The bad news. It still seems to crash (loud noise crash) at the end of a match with certain 4 Player matches. It froze during one match and I couldn't recreate it (seemed to work fine the next time I loaded the game) I played about 10 or so matches until I finally got another crash. This time I wrote down the characters I was using

fityoshi01 - Mars
fitkirby05 - Boo Bomb
fitdonkey04 - Funky model import
fitsnake06 - Hello Kitty Snake

Used these characters as I rebooted the game and I recreated the crash.

Is there a chance it has something to do with my common5.pac? It seems once I put the files for portaits and stock icons from the cBliss archive in info/portrite, menu2/sc_character.pac, etc the portraits I had in my common5.pac seem to be overridden by the ones from the cBliss pack. Is it safe to delete the old  sc_selcharacter and sc_selmap in my common5.pac (or maybe delete the common5 all together) and leave the ones from the cBliss pack? Because I have a hunch that having the two might be interefering with each other and that's what's causing my problems.

hey one player classic mode wont work with cbliss have you guys tested to see if it will or not? i always freeze on the second match...and yes my diddy kong and donkey kong are good files that work on verses mode... and the same for allstar mode... havnt tested adventure mode yet... but i imagine it's the same...

Yeah, those too. If you get into the match and the stock icon isn't found, it will freeze. That's when most people are getting the freezes, when the character starts showing but the picture cannot be loaded.

Anyway, the 3.5.3 code only switches folders when you're in the CSS, doesn't it? I suppose the portrait would be loaded from the standard folder in most cases. Also, you said it only happens with certain characters. It would be most likely that the 3.5.3 code uses some part of the memory that's not good for mario and the others. It doesn't make much sense due to what the cBliss codes do, but looks like something like that is going on.

That doesn't sound good...might have to try and confirm this later.

I've not used an expanded character in classic, but using a normal one did work for me. When a character team appeared, it spawned cBliss costumes together with the normal ones. I had a 10 different colored Sonics battle in GHZ.

Okay! I removed the common5.pac and using the same characters DON'T freeze the game anymore. I had a problem with having 4 Kirbys freezing on the SSS, but I just added all his files from the Brawl ISO and that works fine now too.

Will try with 3.5.3 and Classic when I get a chance.

I have new feedback, FPC 3.5.3 frozen my game, ALONE, without CBLISS codes, without CBLISS files on RSBE and RSB4, and without any code, just FPC 3.5.3, and frozen with 4 marios, 4 yoshis, and 4 diddys...

so the crashes have nothing to do with CBLISS  codes or files ..., but I still have doubts, thats why I will test FPC 3.5.3 code only with my original ISO to see what happens

Well, if most of you are getting cBliss, to work, I made some "Sonic Colors" (Literally lol) for the cBliss, they're Simulator Sonic recolors, check em out :D

Lovin me some cBliss!

Cool! :) and I just edited the link, that way the guys that made the Similator Sonic can get some download credibility, I hope you guys enjoy! :)

i'm getting random freezes before a character loads. i know that it load everything correctly. i have all portraits in there folders modified the xml. i did not want to download 1.5 because i did not want to mess up my game. i got it working except for the random freezes. if i download the 1.5 will it fix the random freezing?
edit
hmm. it seemed to work. thanks

yea that sounds hilarious but yea i used link09... have not tested using like a (random character00) but will soon... (hopefully i didn't miss something)...

Wait, wut? You can make it to where there's 10 characters duking it out in battle? I was just talking to my friend about that today. How do I do that? lol that would have made it easier to take pics of the 10 Sonics I did all at once lol

I can't see through all the pages, as some of them freeze my browser repeatedly, so this might've been discussed, but I'll go ahead and ask anyways.
Can Jigglypuff hats such as my Nana's hat Jigglypuff work over the new slots? They normally can only go over FitPurin02.

I am curious about this too. Also, How do the ice climbers work in regards of Popo and Nana switching places based on the slot number. I haven't gotten that far yet.

I'm not sure about this, but aren't the two the exact same, but trading models for half the slots? I did a hack that switches Popo for Nana and vice versa just by switching their MDL0 files.

everything is working great. but sometimes i get a freeze at the char select screen after a match. anyone get this?

I guess you have to have all the character files and have them filled up with pcs's and pacs even the character files you dont want to use. I think.

Use my pack. It fills up every new slot with a filler character. Check the OP here for a link to my thread that has it.

Maybe some freezes are being caused because SD needs a slow.. and efective.. format.. not my case, but it can happen

Dolphin Debug is beast, right?
It got me into coding.


My initial guess as well, though I haven't been able to fully test it.


Solo and specially Classic mode DOES work.
Classic mode is the sole reason you must have the stockicons for the CSS.
Other modes like Boss battles will freeze if you have a bad uncompressed .pac file.


Oops...

This is why you must extensively troubleshoot something before saying it doesn't work.

He means that on Classic mode when you get to the stage where about 20 of the same character start spawning from the top; It will load from the 10 costumes.
NOT that you can have 10 characters fighting on the screen at the same time.


What this guy said

Jigglypuff still only loads hats from a second ModelData[0] from Purin02.
The right way to do Puff hats, is to import them straight into the Jigglypuff model.
Here is a Puff hat done right.

I forgot to post the updated codes for PAL so here they are:


Though this codes will soon become outdated...

----

I will be adding the P:M tutorial to the OP since most people seemed to miss the posts a few pages back.

I will also be adding a POLL regarding the new update codes.
This codes will be customizable to an extent.
But I need to use a default order for the release of the new codes.
cBliss Unified which is the current costume order I have where ALL characters go from 00 to 09 and load their team colors from 01, 02, and 03.
and
cBliss Default which is the vBrawl default costume order, with characters using their defaults as a team color etc. This last one will needed a redo of ALL the cosmetics though. <_<
