if it was the US code it wouldn't replace the files from RSBP

you gave me an idea

What an idea? 

So, you say... That you have RSBE/pf + RSBP/pf ?!
I never thought about doing somethin' like this...

but it stangely works for me
It's loading all things from RSBP and the CSS and SSS from RSBE

What do you mean by RSBE + RSBP directory? I'm curious...

i copied the menu2 folder with sc_selcharacter.pac and sc_selmap.pac in RSBP and in RSBE.
If i don't have the RSBE folder it doesn't work, but with the RSBE folder it's working, don't know why but it works!

it needs to be named without the _de
and it freezes because you havent added the character files necessary to the appropriate files
and because you have a corrupted sc_selcharacter file
try using the one in the op if there is one

ok somehow i need the RSBP AND RSBE directory, it's working again!
Thanks for all your help!

Common5.pac takes priority over sc_selchar and sc_selmap.
Either delete the Common5.pac or replace the sc_selchar and sc_selmap inside the common5.pac.

i'll try it, but it's weird, when i rip the original common5.pac from my PAL rom, it contains only some PokéTrainer files :/

EDIT: still doesn't work...
system is empty and in menu2 are sc_selcharacter_de.pac, sc_selcharacter2_de.pac and sc_selmap_de.pac.
when i'm using the pacs without _de, it freezes before the CSS is even showing up.
with _de it's loading from disc and is not replaced and freezes when selecting a new slot.
and common5.pac doesn't change something.
so why doesn't it replace the CSS and SSS?

"the file patch code don't want to replace my css or sss"

reword that please.

What version of brawl are you using? Do you have a common5.pac in the system folder as well as the one you mentioned in the menu2 folder?

common5.pac is in system folder
and
sc_selcharacter.pac and sc_selmap.pac are in menu2

so i don't know why it doesn't replace the CSS and SSS

EDIT: if i'm trying sc_selcharacter.pac without _de or _en it freezes
but all other files are still replaced

ok, i tried so many things, but nothing worked.
the file patch code don't want to replace my CSS or SSS! 

It still replaces the character images during a battle and in the result screen!
What am i doing wrong?
i tested the sc_selcaracter.pac with _de, with _en and with nothing behind, but nothing is working!
I think i'm going to explode! 

shouldnt it be sc_selcharacter.pac instead of sc_selcharacter_de.pac?
i think it should

i'm a PAL user so there are 5 different pacs
sc_selcharacter_de.pac (German)
sc_selcharacter_en.pac (English)
sc_selcharacter_es.pac (Spanish)
sc_selcharacter_fr.pac (French)
sc_selcharacter_it.pac (Italian)

so i'm german so i need the sc_selcharacter_de.pac

or does the pal file patch code only replace sc_selcharacter.pac over all 5?
i'm cunfused

ok new problem, somehow it doesn't replace the CSS anymore, so get freezes if i choose a new color D:

Is it the file patch code or am i missing something?
this is my directory:

pf/fighter/All fighter files
pf/info/portrite/All portrait files
pf/menu/common/char_bust_tex/All files are there
pf/menu2/sc-selcharacter_de.pac, sc_selcharacter2_de.pac and sc_selmap_de.pac (because common5 isn't the same in PAL)
pf/stage/melee/STGRESULT_de.pac

are all files correct or is something wrong?
Because Gecko doesn't replace the CSS anymore and i didn't change the .gct file for weeks!
Please help! Dx

Is the filesize limit for sc_selcharacter.pac 2,79 or 3,79? Because the OP says 3,79 and the selcaracter.pac you download with cBliss is 2,79!

where can i request ssbb codes? because i don't find a forum where i can request codes!
Please help!

...what the -hell- are you doing?

Am I literally the only PAL Riivo user that got it to work without ANY issues?

I think, yes you are! 

Ok, tested many 4-player battles with random characters and didn't froze! 

Thank you so much!
