SSS / CSS Expansion, PW Code, Riivolution

[WoundedWarsong]

Hi. So I'm a bit confused about this expansion code.

So i've begun hacking brawl with Riivolution, I'm not sure which .xml I'm running (Must be basic because it just asks me to replace all my files on/off when I start).

I've added music, character textures and some stages. I feel like I have a basic understanding of how to do that stuff.

What I don't understand is, how to expand the SSS to make more stage. I've downloaded the Tutorial off of the Misc > Other section, and I have found the corresponding .xml file, but I have no idea how it works even with the instructions.

Where does the Max SSS, and PW code go? Do I have to make a new file in the directory? Reformat the whole card? Switch to gecko? I'm confused- I just need some clarification!

Well the codes go in your RSB*01.gct, and if you have a bunch of stage files, they go in /stage/melee/*insert stages here*. But the path before the stage folder differs for each loader, so post your specs.

Well I have it set up like this:

private>wii>app>rsbe>pf (fighter,info,menu,module,stage,sound,system)

Sorry to sound ignorant but what exactly is the .gct? Because I don't seem to have one....

Edit: I think I'm understanding something, Riivolution has an option to support Gecko/Ocarina codes, as long as you have a proper .xml which will load the codes in order for them to be used...? (I just read this) is this what I have to setup?

Yes. And the gct is the file format Brawl's codes are in. To make one, you first need a .txt file with your codes in it. Then on the Homebrew Browser (or the internet) download Code Manager. It takes your .txt, and creates a gct for your codes. Make sure the File Patch code is NOT used with Riivo.

As for your loader, if the XML says to read codes from the Codes folder then you just need to put your gct there.

So uh, just make your gct, and put it in the codes folder.

btw, are your stage files from the expanded stage pack already in Private/Wii/app/RSBE/PF/stage/melee?

[WoundedWarsong]

right. and the directory is root>codes>RSBE01.gct> and then the .gct file? or just codes> .gct file?

and yes thats where my stage files are located, they aren't from a stage pack, just my own ones that i've collected.

[Mareeo 64]

Ok. And yes, It's root/codes/GCT

If you have more problems, you could ask the creator of the original stage pack. You don't have his stages, but he should know a lot about using the expansion codes.

[WoundedWarsong]

Got it. I wound up finding BeyondYou's Riivolution .xml file, and it made perfect sense to load the codes.

Now I just have to edit them to my liking :S. Thank you!
