16  Help & Tutorials / Texture and Portrait Tutorials / How To Edit Final Smash Textures No Hexing on: June 20, 2009, 09:08:56 PM
(Originally posted by Vile)

...::: BEFORE YOU CONTINUE :::...

Only use this guide AFTER you have tried to open the Fit***Final.pac with ASH normally.



GUIDE:


You will need:
Ash (with ntcompress and TexConv)
SSBextract (can be found with ash)
SSBBinsert
Final Smash.pac of the characters smash attack you want to edit (eg: Fit***FS.pac)
Basic knowledge of ASH

Ok here's how its done:

1. Create a folder called "FinalSmash" on your C drive and in there put:SSBextract, SSBBinsert and your character Final Smash texture.

2. Get your final smash .pac file and drag it into SSBextract. You should get a folder with a 000.pac inside (I reccomend renaming it to "character"FS.pac).

3. Get your "character"FS.pac and run it through ASH. Edit your tgas however you want (I'd back these tgas up as i might want to fix them up later).

3. Compile with ASH like normal (rename the _new.pac to 000.pac).

4. Drag that 000.pac into your "FinalSmash" folder in your C drive.

5. Open cmd "run > cmd" and navigate to your "FinalSmash" folder (type cd.. 2 times and then type cd FinalSmash).

6. Put this command into the cmd: SSBBinsert.exe Fit***FS.pac -i 000.pac .


YOUR DONE!!!

Post if your having some trouble with this (if its confusing tell me and i will fix it up) Wink

17  Help & Tutorials / Texture and Portrait Tutorials / Battle Portraits: How to Find the Ones You Want on: June 20, 2009, 08:52:42 PM
(Originally posted by Vyse)

Anyone who has edited battle portraits knows that there are many, many files to pick from in the Brawl ISO; and there's no indication of what file corresponds to which costume. Picking out the portrait you want to edit is practically impossible. But after some testing, I have found that the filenames follow a pattern. That pattern is explained below. Now you can find exactly which file to extract and edit!

Those of you who need the original battle portraits can get them here: http://www.mediafire.com/?it9qfma6oujr3qb

When you go to Partition 2>Info>Portrite or look in the rar linked above, you see a long list of files that all look the same: InfFace, then 3 digits. Those 3 digits are the key to the pattern.

Consider a file: InfFaceXY. X represents the first two digits. Y represents the last digit.

X tells you which character the file is for. Y tells you which costume it is.

If X is
00 - Mario
01 - DK
02 - Link
03 - Samus
04 - Yoshi
05 - Kirby
06 - Fox
07 - Pikachu
08 - Luigi
09 - Falcon
10 - Ness
11 - Bowser
12 - Peach
13 - Zelda
14 - Sheik
15 - ICs
16 - Marth
17 - G&W
18 - Falco
19 - Ganondorf
21 - MK
22 - Pit
23 - ZSS
24 - Olimar
25 - Lucas
26 - Diddy
27 - PT
28 - Charizard
29 - Squirtle
30 - Ivysaur
31 - Dedede
32 - Lucario
33 - Ike
34 - ROB
36 - Jigglypuff
37 - Wario
40 - Toon Link
43 - Wolf
45 - Snake
46 - Sonic
60 - Sandbag
62 - Red Alloy
63 - Yellow Alloy
64 - Blue Alloy
65 - Green Alloy
108 - Master Hand
109 - Crazy Hand

Y is the same number as the CSP for that costume.

An example: If you wanted to edit the battle portrait that goes with mario1_big, you would look for InfFace001.

Another example: If you wanted to edit the battle portrait that goes with toonlink2_big, you would look for InfFace402.

Title isn't a question... but really just an interesting way to lure you in while noting the unintentional dark theme of my work so far. You're reading this... so apparently it worked. Smiley

19  Super Smash Bros. Brawl Hacking / Character Vertexes and Textures / Posting Guidelines (Texture Topics and the Gallery) on: June 19, 2009, 09:12:34 PM
A few guidelines for making an easily navigable texture topic.

Topic Format
(This is a guideline --- you are free to use different setups, but please try to make it easy to use)

Title:
Say when you last updated! Also, adding in the name of your newest texture doesn't hurt.

          Random Texture Topic #1337 (Updated: Jan. 1 : Sealab 2021!)

Updates:

List your most recent! Latest seven or so is ideal.

          Jan 1: Cows
          Jan 2: Fish
          Jan 3: Porn o.O
          Jan 4: Lumberjack Falcon

Textures:

Use large names! --- Set them apart from the rest of your text!

Use thumbnails! I can't stress this enough...

---ImageShack: View your image's page (image details link), click the "Thumb" tab, and copy the "Forum" code! Paste into your post!

---Photobucket: "Link Options" underneath the first image in a gallery allows you to show different formatting code under pictures. Select IMG code! Now you should have IMG code under each pic! Copy and paste this right into the forum! Alternatively, you can check the box beside every image you want to use then scroll down to "Generate IMG and HTML code" at the bottom to generate multiple image codes at once!

Post download links near your images! Linking to a separate page is a hassle for your fans --- especially if you haven't named your files well!

Cookie Yoshi

And... the sample code for above.

Code:
[size=5][b]Cookie Yoshi[/b][/size]
(Texture by [url=http://papersak.deviantart.com/]Papersak[/url])

[URL=http://kc-mm.com/Brawl%20Media/?action=view¤t=al_090508_21451.jpg][IMG]http://kc-mm.com/Brawl%20Media/th_al_090508_21451.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL=http://kc-mm.com/Brawl%20Media/?action=view¤t=SuperSmashBrothersBrawlNA_416.png][IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y197/picano/Brawl/Textu[re%20Hacks/th_SuperSmashBrothersBrawlNA_416.png[/IMG][/URL]

[url=http://www.filefactory.com/file/aggg028/n/Cookie_Yoshi_zip][b]CSP, PAC, and PCS Download[/b][/url]

IF USING MEGAUPLOAD --- PLEASE ZIP YOUR FILES AND GIVE THEM UNIQUE NAMES! Same name files appear to have a tendency to replace / "steal" the links of other user's textures!

See how good formatting can improve navigation of HUGE topics.
20  Help & Tutorials / Texture and Portrait Tutorials / Final Smash Eyes (Jigglypuff, Kirby, Ness, Lucas) on: June 19, 2009, 08:47:23 PM
Writing up this post because... a lot of Kirby / Ness / Lucas / (any "flat" eyed charact) textures fail hard when it comes to FS eyes. Wanna know why? FS eyes work in a very screwy way.

For each of these characters, you have a set of 4 eyes for normal and FS use. The normal eye textures include both the the eye and face while the FS eyes only show the yellow eye, everything else is transparent.

So, FS eyes... recolor and done, right? WRONG. Well --- wrong if you modified the surrounding face or shape of the eye at all. You would imagine that leaving the surroundings or copying the new face segments into the FS eyes would work; well, unfortunately it doesn't.

Steps to proper FS eyes for flat eyed characters.
1) Create normal eyes.
2) Copy normal eye image into FS eye image.
3) Recolor eyes.
4) Delete surroundings (leaving transparency).

If you have done this right, you should be able to use a color picker to display the deleted colors.



Normal eye on left, FS eye on right --- FS eye was color picked near the top left --- revealing a FULLY TRANSPARENT tan color. What happens when you don't do this properly? The mismatched colors turn up bright white (or black depending on color values).

Example of failure (sorry to creator... first image I found):

Types of Hacking:
A lot of these types of hacking go hand in hand to be a successful hacker you'll need to make use of more than one type.

Texture Hacking

Texture hacking is very simple, download the .pac/.psc of the character you want to hack, open it in brawl box and extract the textures from TextureData.  Edit them with your favorite image editing software, put them back into the pac and you're good to go.

Frequently Asked Questions:

I just got started...

Q: Do you need to hard mod your wii to use custom textures?
A: No.
Dynamic SD Loader allows you to load textures from an SD card!
USB Gecko owners can upload files directly to Wii (contact for details)
WiiGator Backup Launcher works fine
Riivolution is another way to load from an SD card, but doesn't work with USB launching


Q: Where can I find textures to download?
A:
Brawl Vault. Brawl Vault contains work made by dozens of hackers. You can find almost anything there.

Alternatively, you can view some of the top teams's websites for hacks
Theres...
KC-MM (Us of course)  Wink
Das Donkey
Legendary Smash Team
Stack Smash


I just downloaded some textures and...

Q: I got CPS images for a hack , what do I do with it?
A: They're known as CSPs, allow you to see the custom characters on the selection screen. In order to get these to work, you need to put them in your "common.pac" by using Brawl Box

Q: Where do I put the files?
A: For ISO burning, simply replace the original file.
For the SD loader... refer to this.
For renaming files (to match certain costumes, or simply to have the original name) refer to the PAC Naming Guide.


Q: Is it possible to burn Brawl to a single layer DVD?
A: Yes. There are two methods. You can either burn normally and ignore errors (if allowed by your software) and then make sure to select "finalize disk" upon the final error or use Wii Scrubber 1.0 to shrink the disk ISO. (If using the wiiscrubber method, do not shrink your main copy --- it makes editing it a pain) But as previously noted, just use the SD loader  or Riivolution, its easier, but the SD loader does not work for .THP (movies) or Sound Effects

Q: Why do they freeze my game?
A: Many possible reasons.

If it's only a specific character / stage / item... redownload it replace it, the file may have corrupted itself.

If it's random, your SD card may be going bad; backup everything on it, reformat the card, and try again --- or just try a different card.


I'm making textures and...

Q: Is there a way to preview textures?
A: Open the Modeldata in brawl box, and right click preview, please note that textures don't always appear the way they do in game as they do in brawl box, mainly textures that control shines look different


Q: Why does my characters face have a weird glow when in Final Smash mode?
A: If your character has a "flat face" (Jiggly Puff, Kirby, Ness, Etc...) then read the FS Eye guide.


I have another question...

Q: How do you take such awesome screenshots?
A: Skillz. Gecko OS (software, use with unrestricted pause camera cheat).
Code:
Unrestricted Pause Camera [Link, original Y.S.] --- RSBE NTSC ONLY
* 040A7D60 4E800020
* 04109D88 38800001
Unrestricted pause camera [Link, original Y.S.] --- RSBP PAL ONLY
* 040A9424 4E800020
* 0410B4E0 38800001
You can then save / copy your screenshots to an SD card then use one of the screenshot converters listed above to make them into viewable images.

Also, USB Gecko (hardware, allows me to take screenshots anywhere in game) can provide higher quality screenshots than the game itself!


Q: How do you swap stage lighting?
A: Canon says: Swap the SceneData with the current stage with another stage of your choosing(Using Brawl Box). That's the simple way. To go in depth you'd have to swap out individual files within the Scenedata and swap the files of your choosing.

Q: Are you single?
A: Depends on who is asking.  Wink
A: I'm stalking someone at the moment.
