Wondered how to made Smash 4 Cloud's particle effects in BrawlBox? This tutorial is made just for that.
Note: This is recommended for the newer BrawlBox(v0.75b or higher is what I used) This tutorial will only show how to get these set up, not how to load the external graphic effect or loading them ingame.
Step 1
Open up a file(character/subspace/common effect(ef) file in BrawlBox. An easy way to do this is to find an effect file in pf/effect. Go down to ef_(insert name) and expand. I used an effect from the common3.pac
Step 2
Expand the red REFF and you'll find this
Step 3
You can choose a particle effect to export from here, so I chose this:
Then right click and press export.
Step 4
Open up your character pac file in BrawlBox and go to the same red REFF.
Right click it and press "New Entry"
Step 5
The name will end up being <null> so replace it with your particle and rename it into something suitable.
Step 6
Now expand your particle:
You will see three items. Emitter, Particle and Animations. I have no idea what goes on in Emitter, but the other two are explainable:
Click on particle and you will see various stuff:
Red-Color values. These can be edited. Blue-Transformation values. These are self-explanatory. Black-Texture names. For the particle I'm editing, it doesn't really use these. They could be edited.
Step 7
Now expand the Animations folder and you will see some stuff:
Green-Texture names. Can't be edited from my experience. Even if they are edited, they will stay the same after you save and reload it.
Pink-Actually, I have no idea what these are. The only one I know is the TEXTUREROTATE which functions like a PAT0 animation.
Step 8
Now go back up and you will notice this
Expand it and add a new entry.
Afterwards, rename that new entry the SAME name as your particle:
Make sure the parameters look like this unless you have a model with it too
Finished Product
I hope this tutorial was helpful for better looking graphics!
Basically, I found KJP's thread about importing 3DS animations to Brawl. The 1.1.4 link was down, and since I found a way to import 3DS sword trails and effect textures into Brawl, I wanted to do the same for Cloud, but I don't have his 3DS files.
Does anyone have the 3DS files for Cloud, and his sword trail? If that doesn't go well, I'll look into dumping the files for him since I have his DLC.
I adjusted his range and heavily edited his sword glow to match his Smash 4 glow. Thank heavens for the new BrawlBox: I even tried to make him have a thinner, more shaped sword glow for his advent costume:
Specials:
Neutral-Special
Side-Special:
Up-Special:
And the coming-down part(yes, you press the button to go down):
And the best part:
Limit Charge/Finishing Touch:
Throws:
Misc:
Also, spiritneox helped port a few of the animations(all throws and Blade Beam and Cross Slash, along with the Side Smash) in which i haven't shown a few yet.
I'll be releasing it in a few weeks or so, so any assistance is appreciated.

I am working on a Lucario PSA, or whatever it says in the title. I am working on his special move to be a Kamehameha effect. So far, the hitboxes work flawlessly, but I need help getting the graphic effect from his final smash. Plesse doNOT edit the hitboxes. If you feel like helping, PM me, or post in this topic.

I'm working in a new Brawl Hack Pack called "Anime and Manga vs Nintendo and Square Enix". It will have the following characters:
Rel ported characters are red Not rel ported characters with a PSA are green Not changed characters are yellow
I am only going to put the characters that are the most important ones, NOT characters that have already been in most almost all brawl hacks, like Shadow, Waluigi, Geno or anyone like those, due to fanboyism .
