Brawlbox Resources & History

[DSX8]

the floor shows up for me in the View tab GUI window... just use that ppl >_>

[Infernape]

It doesn't work when trying to activate it from the 'view' tab. :srs:

O_O So it is another way? how?
nevermind

[BlackJax96]

Oh yeah, there are a LOT of things in the menu that aren't done, that's why. :srs:
Beta release, remember? I even warned you that things aren't done...
Just check the floor in the options panel.

Btw, I figured out the secret to the ShaderType thing.
It's the shader's stage count. (ColorEnv0, 1, 2, 3, etc, starting from 1)

[DarkPikachu]

hmm, so I'm guessing import then merge a CHR0 am I right??

and if I'm gonna have to do the math, then I'm gonna need to know the CHR0 format >_>

and btw, shaders don't deal with colors :P
take a look at the material demos in the SDK
although I havn't quite found the Node demos yet >_>

Also BJ, I have some notes on the STPM format that you might not know:

Header:
0x07 - Number of STPM entries. It is usually 01, but STGEMBLEM.pac got three entries in one (03).
0x10(4) - Is the offset to the entry, it's usually 14 but again Castle Siege is an exception, which has 1C.
For every entry, there's an offset to it in the header. For STGEMBLEM, this would add 2 extra offsets to the header.

Every entry is 0x104 (260) bytes. The first 4 bytes isn't a float value.
0x00 - Nothing?
0x01(2) - STPM ID (The first one is unique to the entry, the other one is unique to the stage itself)
0x03 - Echo (00 = false, 01 = true)

The rest of the entry is just float (64 values).

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

A-ha! So that would explain why the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom characters had "unknown" values, then, since they have a lot of texture layers/Env# properties.

Looks like everyone's had a holly jolly hacking Christmas. I even spy information contribution to help dear old BJ, what troopers you all are!

[DarkPikachu]

well my christmas wasn't as you would say holly jolly,
but it was a hacking christmas :af:

[Naruto200Man]

Hey Blackjacks
I found a REALLY nice model of Krystal and her Staff on a Fan Site (The site allows free use of models created for/by fans or ripped from the game) and it's all ready to rig. I got a few questions though.

1: The staff has one texture for it's polygons as does Krystal, will this make things harder or easier when doing the "reassigning materials" phase of the importing process. (Last step in 3DS max before importing into Brawlbox)

2: The Krystal mesh is a very high poly model, but it's only one single mesh/object, is this good or bad for importing?

3: The staff is it's own object as well, but it's a single mesh, same as the above question.

[ForOhFor Error]

High poly models will lag the game by some amount, but the number of objects should only matter toward filesize (and even then, only slightly).

[Xiggah]

Mine was more holly jolly than it was hacking, I think I would have preferred your christmas :P

[GBC]

hey BJ does this fix the transparent textures thing???

[BlackJax96]

A-ha! So that would explain why the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom characters had "unknown" values, then, since they have a lot of texture layers/Env# properties.

Yeah, that value was bugging me for so long... XD

hey BJ does this fix the transparent textures thing???

It can... but not magically.

1. One texture for the entire model?

2. Depends

3. Still depends

[Naruto200Man]

1: Yeah, one single texture map for the whole model, but the model of Krystal is one single polygon/mesh except for the parts of the skirt/loincloth that I split into their own polys. The staff is a single model/mesh as well but it is not a part of the Krystal mesh. 

2 & 3: Depends on what?
Do note that although this is going over Zelda, I plan to animate and psa her fully, in fact I might even include all the minor things at some point, just not the beta.

Although, if it's not to much to ask, is the undo/redo function going to be available in the next update for the animator?
