Okay, I think I am getting the hang of brawl box.  Initially through my research I was seeing how I can compress the images but I see that brawl box already does that when I choose replace.  I decided to keep the characters in place as intended as I don't want to mess up the hard work of those who made them.  So far I have managed to get squidward, patrick and loco roco in the game which is great.  I will tackle the CSP tomorrow after my in-law makes me the photos as I don't have photoshop.

On another note though I am having issues with stages.  I tried to get matching stages for the kids characters which I downloaded:

1) Franzea 2 By Hacksponge.zip - This contained 2 folders BRSTM that contained R03.brstm.  The other folder called STAGE has 2 files STGPLANKTON.pac and a Use.rel.txt. 

This one is a Loco Roco stage.  When I load the stage with the one it replaces called Hanenbow, the screen freezes at that point.  After troubleshooting here, I understand the BRSTM is the sound file for the stage.  And what I think is the issue is the rel file.  But the included "Use.rel.text" is blank when I open it in notepad +.  It seems some have said that I need to put some sort of forward in it so it knows which file to replace.  Any pointers on this one? 

And if I can figure out the above, where would I replace the image of the stage icon in the menu selection?

2) Spongebob Stage by Hacksponge.zip - This contained the STGFINAL.PAC

This one I will try later tonight to see if it works as it did not contain a rel file so possibly this one won't need one.

Thanks again for all your pointers and advice.

Thanks for explaining. Gave me a better understanding of how to figure things out.

By the way, since I would not be able to get pictures on till I get csp made I wanted to ask 2 questions:

1) are the character pac interchangeable? By this I mean would I be able to put the squid ward who is luigi as a skin under wario?  Or is it locked to luigi?

2) I assume the numbers at the end like 00 is the sort order? So would these be the first skin of the character? If not, is the numbers interchangeable?

Basically I wanted to organize them for her since she will be picking blindly until I can get pictures on.

Hi all,

Just found out about this site.  My youngest daughter seen a youtube video of Spongebob characters in the Smash game and asked if I could find them for her.  Well after much research I landed here via the Brawl vault seeing the mods that are made.  I read the noob tutorial on the folder structure but am lost when I downloaded a few hacks.  For instance these are the ones I downloaded:

1) Patrick by Hacksponge.zip - Inside it contains the FitWario00.pac and FitWario00.pcs

2) Spongebob.pcs - This was not in a zip but only a single pcs file.  Do I need the pac file as well?  And from my understanding of the tutorial it would have to be named of a original character, correct?  Does anyone know how I would tell which character folder I would place this in?

3) FitLuigi00.pcs - Also a single file which is suppose to be of Squidward.  Do I disregard that it has no pac file? 

For each of the above mentioned, I understand that since it has no CSP file included  that the character of the spongebob icons will not show until it reaches gameplay? 

Sorry for asking all these questions if it is basic and is covered.  But my youngest daughter keeps pulling the plug on the Wii when her siblings play as she has no interest in the game unless her favorite TV characters are in it. 

Thanks
