Hey guys. Anyone know if I can use a USB flash drive as storage for Brawl files, and if so, which apps do I use? I think I've heard somewhere you can, I just don't want to put a bunch of hacks on my new 16 or 32 GB flash drive and it not work. Because I bought a replacement Wii, homebrewed it, and SD hacks fully work.

It's a pack/custom edition of Brawl that I called obsession because the only default characters who are included are the ones I really like. There will be some custom BrawlEx characters who will fight like some of the excluded characters, however. I'm not releasing the current beta over here at the moment, as I've not had a chance to work on CSPs and Cosmetics, and I'm still working on rigging some of the characters I made. My internet avatar, Daveybird, is even going to be included, and I'm almost done with him. If you know a lot about him, and have been following me on sim racing and art sites, you'll know why he's a perfect fit. His primary color is blue, and his secondary colors are red and yellow.  He arrives to the battle in the sama car I drive in NASCAR Heat and Dirt Track Racing 2 (would use my rFactor car, but too high-poly), since my second-favorite sim racing game is NASCAR Heat, he loves doing the Falcon Punch, and says, "here comes the... HEAT!!" When he does the "show me your moves" taunt, he says, "you should sim race with me sometime," and when he does the "come on" taunt, he says, "Cardinal Power!" I, myself, will do the voice acting myself. Lord Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2, and several others will be completely silent, since I can't get voice clips from them easily, like it's hard to find KFP2 voice clips of Shen without music or something going on in the background, even though some of his full sentences would make good win quotes and taunt phrases, and it would cost me a fortune to have Gary Oldman fly over here to voice act him for me personally, rotfl!! No screenshots yet, but there might be after awhile. Some characters are fan favorites from others, done by my comrades the Brawl hacking community, such as Knuckles, Dixie, Cloud, etc. Kirito from Sword Art Online is included, I found a low-poly but accurate model of him, and put him over Marth. He was a request from one of my friends.

Roster:
Daveybird
Fox
Falco
Bowser
Stone
Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong
Dixie Kong
Cloud
Shen
Sonic
Knuckles
Iggy
Larry
Ludwig
Peach
Daisy
Rosalina
Mewtwo

Characters who might be included in the Expansion Pack:
Shadow
Tails
Wendy
Falconn (my Falco parody who will fight like Captain Falcon. Debating on whether I will include him)
Asuna (from Sword Art Online)
Lucina

Changes and Notes:

Fox and Falco will have their Smash 4 voice acting, and have their Smash 3 custom textures

Bowser will have his Bowser's Inside Story, and thus human voice-acted voice

Stone will have a similar voice to Bowser, and my Bowser 2K14 animation and PSA, while the actual Bowser will have no changes to his handling

Fox and Falco will have the custom PSAs I made for them, where they are more human-sized and -weighted. I might possibly make them have their Project M animations and PSAs with an increase in size and weight.

No Bowser Jr., and the Koopalings will fight on foot, and fight like Mario. I wished they did that in Smash 4. Would've turned out a lot better.

Known Issues So Far:

You cannot load Diddy and Dixie in the same match as far as I know, I know for sure you can't load all three included Kongs in the same match. I tried to start a match between me and the three main Kongs and it froze.

Dixie's eyes look scrambled and weird sometimes. Might have to do with the hack itself.

Some clones will have their default voice acting when facing certain characters, most notably their default counterpart, most notably the princesses. I just hope I don't have a fight between Wendy and Iggy and Wendy sounds like Iggy because all three of them are over Mario, lol! (I was originally going to have Iggy over Luigi since people were suggesting he'd be better over him than Mario, and I agreed, got the bones ready, the model rigged, and everything, but then I realised there was no BrawlEx rel module for Luigi, and was forced to make him over Mario with green fireballs and some of Luigi's standard animations.)

Sorry if I didn't include your favorite default character, I might make or find a clone I like of that absent character and use him/her. It is meant to be more of a "Daveybird's best of the best" mod than a general-puropse Smash Mod.

It'll probably be done this Summer or next Summer. I have to stop modding during the college year, because I was concentrated too much on modding last semester and got a D in class. If it doesn't get done this year, It might get done next year. As is the policy for my Madden 08 and possibly 04 mods, my Maximum Football mods, my rFactor Mods, my DTR2 mods, and my NASCAR Heat Mods. I figured out the problem why I was sucking in school and I think I know how to fix it.

Okay, so today, my old laptop randomly quit reading my SD Card, and my Wii did about a couple of hours later. My new laptop has no problem with it. I reformatted it. Is it supposed to be FAT32? The only thing I think might be the cause is that I broke the socket in my SD Card slot., which I don't think is the case, I never push too hard. Anyone got any suggestions?

Okay, so whenever I mess with the CSSRoster.dat, Brawl freezes when I click on the versus (Brawl) button. Now I had a hack from someone else that used Project M that used BrawlEX with no problem. Characters showed up, played fine for the most part, etc, but it's just in default Brawl, the issues arise. I was trying to convert those over to default Brawl, and thought maybe the issue was I needed to change some things before switching them to default Brawl. But nope, even if I put Mario as the only character in the CSS, it still freezes and hums. Please help, this is getting real frustrating!
Post Merge: May 29, 2016, 07:14:55 AMOkay, the reason why the game froze was because I was using the PM menu data. I guess once I get BrawlEx working I'll have to manually add in all the characters. But now, I still have Mario as the only character on the CSS Roster, but all of the default characters show up. It seems like SSBB doesn't know I have BrawlEx. How do you make Brawl recognize it? I have a BrawlEx folder in my PF like I'm supposed to. So does anyone know what the problem is?

Well, I was acting dumb. I forgot to put in the CSS Expansion core files. That is very important!

I can't find him anywhere! There used to be a Falco hack that said it was based on Starfox Command, but did they delete it?
Post Merge: October 11, 2014, 01:36:18 PMOkay, never mind. Someone on deviantART linked to it. Someone please lock this topic.

I know in my shaved texture I got rid of them some, but is there any way to get rid of them completely? I know the Subspace boss version of him is like this, but I can't find it. Also, how can you move the polygons on Falco's boot to where the ridges don't show that much? Help would be appreciated, thanks! I know I make hacks that aren't that impressive, but I'll get better as time goes by and I practice.

Here's where we can talk about my vertex and texture mods, as well as where I can make announcements about my upcoming projects. So far, I've got:

DK with Shaved Legs: Really cute and hilarious. DK is getting too sweaty, so he took a razor to his legs.

Falco with Sandals: Actually I did this because I couldn't figure out how to do the barefoot thing at first.

Falco Barefoot: Redid the boot model. Screw leg amputation, their feet have probably looked like this since '96-97.

Upcoming plans: Diddy Kong with Shaved Legs: Awww

Fox Barefoot: To go with Falco. No, I am NOT doing Wolf like this, lol.

Krystal without loincloth: I'm gonna credit the guy who made the original.

Daveybird: A Falco texture hack of my Smash self.

Volouptuous, Skirtless Peach: 'Nuff said.

So what do you think about my ideas and what I've already accomplished so far. Like them?

Hey, I'm new to Brawl animation hacking, and there are a few things I need help on.

What's a keyframe? I heard a lot about them, but don't know what they are.

How do I make a successful walk/run animation? When I tried to make DK run upright by modifying the animation in Brawlbox, he ran in place (didn't go forward) in the game. Does it have to do with the position of the model?

Please help, it will be much appreciated. Thanks.
