Hold on. Rubber Soul?... Did I miss something?

Gah. I need to ask -another- question...

I am following this guide here: http://kc-mm.com/?p=2106

Everything makes sense, of course. However, at "2:34" I can't complete this step.
I've followed the guide 100% accurately, I'm sure. Copied the "header," went into the .pac file, Ctrl+F, paste, search for Hex values... But HxD is unable to find it.

Basically... I'm working with STGMANSION.PAC, I exported polygon4, loaded both the .pac file and the polygon into HxD, copied the header of polygon4:

"00 00 15 80 FF FF 23 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 56 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 15 00 00 00 E0 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 68 00 00 14 20 00 00 14 20 00 00 01 3C 00 00 2E 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 71 FC 00 00 00 04 00 00 03 A0 00 00 02 06 00 04 00 04 00 04 FF FF 00 04 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 00 00 64"

Switched to the .pac file and searched for that string of Hex-values. HxD says it's unable to find it.

I've started again from scratch several times, and attempted the same process with polygons 58, 70 and 72. Nothing seems to work. Am I doing something wrong, or am I misunderstanding something?

EDIT: Just tested the exact same method on Sheik. Worked perfectly. Why doesn't this work with Luigi's Mansion?

EDIT2: FINALLY figured it out. For anyone who's interested... The tutorial said to use the .pac file of the character (I was doing a stage >.<). However, the polygon wasn't located... In the .pac file of the stage...? I had to export the ModelData[].brres file, and the polygon was in -there-... I removed that, and everything worked out.

EDIT: Whoa there hold the phone!  How have you been hacking Brawl at all without the Homebrew Channel?  Honest to god though, I don't actually know how to do it without Homebrew, you probably just want to get that if you're interested in mods at all...

Um. Balanced Brawl runs dynamically from the SD card and boots up as soon as I enter the Stage Builder in standard Brawl... Something like that. This will probably explain more: http://balancedbrawl.net/downloads-instructions/

I just got into all this Brawl mod stuff last week, and just started texturing a few days ago... So... That's my excuse for being a noob. Hahaha...

Er. I did not know that... >.<
I have no idea what a Riivolution is. I guess I've got some googling to do... Unless you'd be so kind as to explain to me what all this mumbo-jumbo is about Riivolution and Geckos and whatnot. :3

EDIT: Ahh. No worries. I think I'm gonna bail on this endeavour. A lot of the stuff I read mentioned running Riivolution from the Homebrew channel... Which I don't have. I know it sounds lazy, but I think I'll forego the hassle and go about my merry way. Thank you very much anyway, though. ^^

Sorry to be excessively noob, but... I just want to make sure this is the correct directory (I don't have any folders called "ssbb")

root\private\wii\app\RSBE\pf\Sound ?

(I knooow it looks right, but I just want to make sure... It'd my CDO... It's like OCD, but in alphabetical order......... As it -should- be).

Sorry, I'm gonna have to be a noob for a second... (That is, assuming I'm not one already).

I've downloaded the Japanese smashbros_sound.brsar file in hopes of replacing the English voice actors with the Japanese ones. I figured it'd work like textures... Like, throwing it into pf/fighter/captain/ etc... on my SD card--for example.

I'm... Not sure where to put this file. XD...

Any help?

(Got the file from here, by the way: http://www.mediafire.com/?mm53ukxzdjz )

EDIT: Whoops, forgot to mention (if it makes a difference) I'm using Balanced Brawl on my SD card.
