There is a mod called Endgame Samus.  In this mod Samus' missiles and charge attack freeze when they hit.  I can't seem to find Akaito (the creator of the mod; says Unable to find member 'akaito'. when I try to PM him).

I love the mod but everyone hates me for using it (the freezing mainly).  I looked at Samus in Brawlbox and PSA and can't seem to find where her attack data for her weapons is located.  I've looked several times and am not just looking for a handout or someone to do the work for me (I like trial and error, and hands on 'do it yourself' stuff, but I have other things I am working on and want to just get rid of the freezing and move on).

Can anyone tell me where or how to find what needs to be changed in order to get rid of the freezing?

Thanks

I am working on a PSA for Link (a good one) but I am having three problems.

The first one is minor:  Link's sheath disappears in most of his animations.  It is present in his item holding poses and a few others but most of the time it is gone.  I may just do away with sheath all together.

Second:  Link's sword is sheathed while he is still holding it.  I have not inserted the 'model changer' line into PSA nor have I messed with his sword handle.  For some reason it is sheathed at all times (and if you stack this with problem one its a sword handle that just floats behind him in an invisible sheath).  Again minor problem;  if I do away with sheath I'll do away with this too.

BIG PROBLEM:  Recovery (landing) animations are freezing him.  If you are in the air and you use a regular attack (not one of his special moves;  just pressing A) AND the animation is still playing through when he hits the ground he will just stand still and be uncontrollable until he gets hit.  I need help with this bad, I have spent so much time with this problem that the PSA has come to a halt.

[Example of problem 3:  I jump and while in the air use links Down-A attack... after he lands he stands up and wont move until he takes damage or is grappled].  Please help, thank you in advance;  this PSA and moveset are so fun to use but the freezing has made it unplayable.

Dear KC,

     I am trying to make a custom moveset for Peach.  The new moveset idea is that she can hold her tennis racket constantly and not just use it on her forward smash (doesn't have to be tennis racked, I'll settle for one of her other two forward smash items too).

    In addition I am wondering if I will have to modify hitboxes (something I have no clue how to do)... the items have hitboxes on the forward smashes but I don't know if the hitboxes would remain if I were to give her the racked all the time (for regular attacks).

     ......oh.... and if someone knows, can I change her turnips or Toad to something else... I dunno... like a mini mario or something?

Dear CK forumers,

     I need to know how to change the 'out of bounds' areas of a stage.  There are a few stages I want to do this with but for example:  Green Hill Zone is a little small for my tastes and I would like to extend it left and right so that players could play on a larger stage.

     I don't know much about hacking and I only have Brawl Box and Smash Attacks.  I've opened Green Hill Zone in Brawl Box and managed to figure out how to expand the areas the characters can walk on, but I don't know how to add more of the blue tiles that make the stage walkable (and knowing how to do that would be amazing too if someone knows how).

     I've got some great stage [improvement] ideas and I'll start posting them as soon as I am able to actually DO them.

     Thanks.
    

Dear CK,

     I need help changing the method I use to load my hacks.  The method I use now is ok... but I can't help but think its messing a few things up.

     How I load them now:  I use the codes from http://balancedbrawl.net/ to load them.  Basicaly you don't need a hacked wii... you just put the SD card into the wii, load brawl, and go to stage builder which loads the hacks onto brawl using a glitch in the loading operation.  Im sure most people know about this.  It seems to work fine for me, I have just been putting all the hacks I have onto my SD card under the proper folders and everything seems to work.... BUT they have their own codes on Balanced Brawl (which modify character behavior) and I am certain they are messing with character hacks in some manner... I can't explain it but some things are just... odd.

     Here's the kicker:  I HAVE a hacked wii now... homebrew channel and all!!!!  But I can't seem to get the hacks to load.  In homebrew channel I open up the Gecko and launch game as should be done.... but "SD card error" always pops up.  I've downloaded several versions of the Gecko and several versions of the code file (and they ARE in the right folders on my SD card) but to no avail.

     So, the ONLY, way I am able to use my brawl hacks is via the Balanced Brawl website method.  I think I have everything, but maybe I'm doing it wrong x.x

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated... thank you!

Dear CK,

     I am very new to hacking but have learned to use Smash Attacks and Brawlbox to do some minor things.  I know how to modify psa files that I find.  So I can modify something someone else has already modified.... (don't worry, just for practice, I'm not stealing anything).

     I want to create my own hacks but I don't know where or how to obtain the character data for the original characters (unmodified).  Where can I get a psa of a character that hasn't been changed by someone already so that I can make my own stuff from scratch?

     Thanks for your time and replies.

Hello KC,

     I am fairly (very fairly) new to this site and to character hacking in general.  I've never had the tools or know-how.  I'm wanting to get started by editing the default characters.

     I was wondering if someone could give me a very basic tutorial of how to edit a characters height / weight.  I was looking around the vault and found a young zelda and a saria that are smaller than the characters they are textured over and it made me want to try it.  I was hoping to learn how to do this myself.

     I've looked around in the help section and (maybe I'm blind) but didn't find a tutorial about how to do this.  If someone would be kind enough to help me with this it would be great.

     P.S.  All I have is BrawlBox.  I'm thinking for size (height / width) it should be just a simple matter of changing some numbers in the characters "FitX.pac" file but I can't seem to find what numbers they are XD
