you have been through a lot of hassle. I've watched every topic you posted on this, and most of them seemed to disintegrate gradually.
But the coolest part was that you didn't stop working on it despite that.

Take a look.


This has happen to me before, and I couldn't fix it. I looks fine up close but gets more worse the farther the camera is from it.  :srs:

am I missing the glitch??
where does it turn black??

I thought you were gonna show me a pic with some messed up black textures or something... :/

well if I had to guess, I'd say fix the alpha mask on the black images...
(set the mask to black (100% transparent))

Guess i should have said black-ish  :af:.

Let me try to explain it more..

Lets say that you have Kirby, a edited blue.

It looks fine in BrawlBox, but when you put the character in game, kirby's blue starts turning grey/black the more you zoom out from him.

In the picture, under zelda neck, it should be a light white with some beads. But for some reason, this weird black/grey stuff  shows up. I should also say that its metallic looking.

I see what you mean... -_-

hmm... I think... IDK...
I'm having ideas on what it could be...
but they don't really fit with what's happening...

I guess I'd have to test the hack in order to fully see what happens...

or better yet, can you upload a vid??

some things are just too complicated to explain in an image...

True dat.

I'm working on the vid now. It's just a few seconds so you can see the problem.





ah... KK...
hard to see, but I saw it...

hmm... if there's not a second object over it,
then it's a shader referance...

try to see if you can't find the texture that's causung that...
if it supports alpha, color the image black, along with the mask...

also, was this a modded model you DL'd, or did you mod it yourself??
that could also be of a leading cause...

Good news, I fixed it!

As it turns out, I was using the wrong settings when I was replacing the textures over ToonLink. Thanks for the help though. :af:

Example:





I had to go to the original ToonLink.pac and see what each texture setting was then re import them on my ToonZelda. It wasn't that hard actually.

XDD...

well I'm glad you figured it out :)
this also brings up another thing of mine...
Why does RGB5A3 cause so many probs...
don't answer that... :P

Well, in most cases, you shouldn't be changing the texture formats when replacing textures.

Crap, it happend again for a different texture (but x10 worse) iv been working on, and this time i didint change the format... Do simple colors need to be changed to a differnt format? Lets say that im only using a total of 5 colors, no shading or anything.

You can't change the texture formats for anything if you don't want texture errors.  For example, a texture that's in RGB5A3 format has to stay as that format, regardless of how many colors are on that texture.

Likewise, a CI8 texture has to stay as a CI8 texture.  And of course, if the palette is RGB5A3, it must stay as RGB5A3.  However, what you CAN do to the palettes is adjust the maximum number of colors that they use.
