I'm only interested on adding a bone to a single-boned model, and that both of them work. Is this already possible?
Well, with the current state of how things are looking, once his real bone adder comes out, you could ADD the bone, yes, but it would not effect anything, since the bone would not be anchored to any vertexes. So, adding it to a trophy (which is what I ASSUME you want to do) would not result in an entirely posing model. I am interested in this because I have the Pichu model from PokePark Wii, and I want to add bones to it to put the bone structure in the shape of Pikachu's, and then see if Pika's animations will work. If so... well, there you go. The perfect Pichu. A little vertexing of that, and the Melee model can be restored.
I'm working on actually getting melee Pichu 
(I need the model for a series I intend to make)
the DAT format is even more complicated than the MDL0 format :/
and yea...
about Pokepark...
don't rig Pichu with Pikachu...
leave the bones seperate...
here's what I'm doing with Pachi:
bone rig:
TopN
-TransN
--XRotN
---YRotN
----HipN
-----origin (for scaling him to 4.2)
------waist
-------LThigh
--------LFoot
-------RThigh
--------RFoot
-------Spine
--------Head
---------LEar
---------REar
---------HaveN
--------LArm
---------LHand
--------RArm
---------RHand
-------Tail1
--------Tail2
---------Tail3
----------Tai4
----ThrowN
only the important bones are there...
everything else deals with Pachi
EDIT:
this was from a scrapp'd project:
^it only worked well on a few trophies...
it didn't really work on players :/
EDIT2:
here's the furthest I got it before scrapping it:
^all the way to seperate objects and UV's
as you can see, UV indexing sucked DX |

I think he's thinking of scaling...if he were able to add a bone with the same name to all models within a brres, he would be able to scale the whole thing with one bone. Would this be realistic? |

keep note
you need a VGroup for the bones to move the model...
the only way for that to work properly is to use an editor like Blender or 3DS
that way you can define which verts go to what bones.
(wether it's for scaling or anything...)
otherwise they won't work
@TSG:
approx percentage of completion plz 
(a little egar to work on Pachi) |

I just want an added bone that affects everything below it. While the lower bone would affect the vertices (the model itself), the top (and newer) bone would affect the already affected model. Just like some 2D model's i've been using in stages lately.
As Noah said, this would allow me to move groups of models with a single animated bone. And block-based stages could be easily rotated or resized.

The closest thing you would get to that would be to fuse all the Mdl0's into one and have the added bone be the TopN with the TopN of the other models be the child bones of the added bone's TopN.

umm... wut??
I didn't make sence out of that :/
what I plan to do is simply use TSG's BTE to add bones to the end,
then move them to the beginning, and rename it to TopN...
simple enough :/ |

well i WOULD like to help but i say that too much lol. I would like to but cant. Lol at your comment too. Also i never got around to it but do you know the order the data in the mdl0 comes in? not the rg order for the list, but the data within the lists.....umm ex: textures(cnt remember) come right after its reloc group, but its near the end of the list. This would help me finish the bone adder quicker cuz i think thats the only thing keeping me back from finishing it.

there is no particular order of the data...
the texture's just usually happen to come before the definitions...
but there can be cases where it comes after...
use an if statment:
if data is before the bones, use this method
else use this other method |
