The Complete N00B's Guide to Brawl Hacking

[(specter)]

I need serious help. I followed every step in the first post but I still must be doing something wrong. When I get to the part where you need the XML file and everything, my files go like this:

private > wii > app  > rsbe > st > st_080805_0933.bin

I dont understand what I did wrong so can someone please help me.

st_080805_0933.bin is the Smash Stack stage. What do you need an XML for? That's only for Riivolution I thought.

Ok well I must be confused on what exactly I do next, because I dont have the gf files or anything for character hacks, stage hacks, etc. I followed every step, so what did I over look?

EDIT: By the way, I'm using Riivolution.

If you're gonna use Riivolution, why do you have st/st_080805_0933.bin? That's only if you use Smash Stack. If you're using Riivo you don't need that.

Gf...? You mean pf? Anyway, I don't use Riivolution so I don't know why you don't have the pf folder and everything else you need. When I got Smash Stack it came with the 'private' folder and everything in there like 'pf' and all that. Just so you know, you may have to create folders sometimes, too.

Ok maybe I just need to try getting the private folder again. But yeah, what do you recommend I do?

I don't use Riivolution so I can't really help you out here. I don't know why the instructions in the OP aren't working for you, but since I never used Riivolution before I don't have the ability to recall if I had the same problem or any precautions that I took, so sorry.

So then you must use GeckoOS right? Ok, what do I do with that?

No I use Gecko not Gecko OS -- that's for Homebrew.

Ok then let me ask this then. What is the best and most effective way to getting everything you need for downloading and using other hacks?

Well, you need the 'private' folder with all the folders and files already in it. I think you can get that here. After you have that then all you need to do is just browse through the Brawl Vault and download anything you like in there.

Thanks that helped a lot! But after I download something, I'm a bit confused on where exactly to put it. Say I was downloading a Shadow character and it doesnt say who its replacing or whatever. Where would the files go?

It will say who it goes over in the Brawl Vault. For example, it would say [Character-Texture-Sonic]. With that information, put it in Sonic's folder in pf/fighter.

So you dont do anything to the file already sitting in the folder?

Are you talking about FitSonic.pac? Yes, do not ever touch that unless you downloaded a Sonic PSA, which you would just replace your old .pac with the one that came in your download. If not, then leave it alone. That file contains the moveset and the guts of the character.
