[I've been out of the Brawl hacking scene for quite some time. I can't even remember the last time I touched my hacked Wii... I miss it, and I want to get back into it. Thing is, it's hard to just jump back in without knowing what's changed. So what better way to find out than to ask the amazing community? Generally speaking, what's been going on with the development and progress of Smash hacks? I read up on the BBox dev thread and notced that SFX hacking is about to get much easier. How about PSA-ing? Is it still a relatively obscure skill? Are one-slot PSAs possible yet, or still just one-slot size mods? Are there codes for extra stages and individual CSS (i.e. Ivysaur by itself) icons that never cause freezing? Heck, is there a File Patch Code more recent than 3.5.1 (other than the super-buggy v4.0)?I'm not sure whether this would go in the Help / Tutorials section, but I figured that this was more of a "let's get a general update" thread than a "something doesn't work plz halp" thread.]

[I've just recently made the switch from Gecko OS to Riivolution, thanks to BeyondYou and the recent progress of Sawndz. I know that File Patch doesn't work w/ Riivo, but I don't quite remember how to use the File Replacement code.I have File Replacement v2.1b. It seemed to work at first, but my CSS code and the code that lets me start a match with just one player weren't working. What other codes need to be on in order for File Replacement to work on Riivo?]

[This is really starting to piss me off. I'm working on an Ivysaur texture, but whenever I switch into it from Squirtle, the game freezes. However, if Ivysaur is sent out at the start of a match, it works just fine. I haven't touched the model itself, and I made sure that its leaves are indexed. I have no idea what I did to cause this problem...]

[I just made an amazing discovery recently; that you can get 3DS Max as a student for non-commercial, non-profit use with a 3-year license. I find this amazing, for I can at last try vertex hacks. However, I have some questions for those of you who already have 3DS Max.1) Is BBox compatible with 3DS 2011?2) Which version is BBox-friendly: Autodesk 3DS Max, or Autodesk 3DS Max Design? (In fact, what's the difference?)3) After the 3 years are over, can I renew the license for as long as I'm a student?]

[Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I once read that it's safe to remove and reload your SD card while Brawl is running, if you're using Gecko OS. I don't want to try it 'til I'm sure, cuz I can't afford to mess up mai h4x again.]

[I've been doing textures for quite a while now, and I'm pretty good with Photoshop, if I do say so myself. I was wondering, though, if anyone had any good texture-making tips. Y'know, things like how to make textures look realistic, and any advanced tips or advice. Making textures look real has proven challenging, but this is because I haven't really gone too advanced with Photoshop. Don't feel like you have to dumb anything down, though, for I'm a quick learner.]

[I know you can make his sword invisible, but it's not a +1 or +2 texture, so do I still use the magenta method? Or is there a different way? And what other parts of Link can be made transparent? I wanted to get rid of his belt thing.]

Voici mon Vault!

Yes, it's about time that I fixed up this thread. I've also joined the BrawlVault revoution. I've made a couple textures since my (hiatus, I guess?) and I'm ready to share the wealth. Some of these I made just for fun, but if anyone really wants them, I'll release 'em. Newer stuff @ the top.

Remember this thread from the old, old KittyCorp forums? I remembered.

Ash's Charizard

   
Really, I only made this to complete my "Ash" texture set, but I actually like how it turned out. And no, it is NOT just another cel-shaded 'Zard... -_-

Ash's Bulbasaur

Very slightly touched-up version of Bulbasaur, but it does look better.

Hoenn Ash Ketchum

   
We miss you, Veronica Taylor...

Houndolf

   
This texture became MUCH more popular than I'd planned... Thanks for the support!

*STAGE* Daytime Stadium 2

Not much, but I really like this texture. Why have two nighttime stadiums when you can have one day and one night?

*STAGE* Mewtwo's Revenge

     

Awesome Climbers

...Yeah. I was bored.

Hamtaro! yay

[It's so hard to figure out what texture file is what part of this stage. Anyone know which texture is the water? Not the white waves, the actual, blue water.UPDATE 09/01/09: Now I can't find the heads of the dragons on both the main ship and the little red one that floats by.]

(I'm using Androu1's FATE-FINAL version) Nothing is coming up in my "EditedSongs" folder. I'm saving everything right, it says that my looping's correct. The program tells me that the file's been successfully saved in EditedSongs, but nothing ever ends up in there! It's really pissing me off... >_< What are some possibilities as to what I could be doing wrong?

If I hover over / select ANY stage (other than Battlefield) in My Music, my Wii freezes. I'm aware of the "My Music Fix" codes for each individual stage, but the amount of codes on limit will DEFINATELY go over. There must be a "fix all of My Music" or "reset My Music" code for all the stages...right? *sigh*

[Squirtle's 00 Eyelid texture is experiencing some "THUMBS.DB" error all of a sudden. What could've caused it? Well, I saved two other photo files (one was another .tga and another was saved as a jpg) in that eyelid folder. Though I deleted both, I recieved this error right after, so I can't help but think I did something there. I don't see how adding then deleting files in the folder would cause this error, but just to be safe.]
