Brawlbox Resources & History

you know...
both Kryal and Bero seemed to return out of nowhere <_<

were you guys stuck in the void or something??

and who's going to be returning next?? :|

[Mewtwo2000]

Looking forward for the release. I hope you figure out what's happening to those SCN0 nodes and release today. Anyway, if they work well ingame, it's not a big deal I suppose.

Did you fix that problem with non-XYZ models Bero talked about? I noticed that problem too with some 2D model I was using in the past for semitransparencies, and would be cool to get it corrected.

Magnificent work by the way, I can't wait to test it :3

[Changeling]

The version I have (0.65b Beta) crashes upon loading files (from Mario Kart Wii) that have SRT0 and PAT0 files in them. Something about having SRT0, PAT0 and V11 MDL0s in there at the same time. It's making it difficult to modify character models. Was this fixed already?

I can get around it by deleting the SRT0s and the PAT0s using CTools, but then Koopa Troopa loses his texture animations.

Edit: And importing a DAE never works.

[DarkPikachu]

hey BJ...

I was right about the isXYZ thing because for Pika:
the value for the normals is 0 but the data is 3D
the result of the value is the bounds because Pika's normals don't have a bound box
(his UV's and verts do)

btw...
my template now even uses the vector function for UV's
(just as intended by the SDK)

I compair the 2D-3D values by looking at the entry stride with the data type:

if data_type == (2 or 3):
  if entry_stride == 6: #3D
  if entry_stride == 4: #2D

I've had similar cases with PAT0, but not with SRT0 or any other version models. Would it work if you only deleted the PAT0 but left the SRT0?

[DarkPikachu]

hey BJ...
do you happen to to have any v10 or v11 MDL0's with the unknown list values being something other than 0??

I don't think so... I can program a message that pops up if one of the unused offsets isn't 0 if you want.

@BJ
Thanks for reply.
As Xiggah said,0.63d could show the model properly,so I will try to find the bug in your source code comparing to 0.63d source.

Alright, good luck. Kryal completely re-worked the way primitives were read, stored and rendered (and I coded the writing part myself :P), so the sources are pretty different.

The first step is reading Brawl's file formats using Brawl's version. After the format is completely read and rebuild-able, that's when I'll code support for other file versions and conversion between them like I did with MDL0.

And did you follow the DAE exporting rules I have posted on the OP?

Oh yeah, I should be able to release sometime today.

lol ._.

Long time no see, and I still can wish whenever there is going to be the complete support for .brsar archives...

That will probably be a big project like MDL0 rebuilding was.
I'll just have to focus working on only BRSAR for a while when want to finish it.

hey BJ...

what differences are there in v10 MDL0's compaired to V11??

No many really... I think only the header offsets.
Same with v8 & v9, not really any differences except for the header offsets I think.

Sounds good to me. By the way, couldn't I use the Brawlbox's source code to read already defined file structures? You left pretty thorough notes.

That's what I left the notes for ;D

[DarkPikachu]

yea...
that sounds good.

I've even progged a "contact me" message into my template for the unknown offsets >_>

and ok
which ones are different in v8 and v9??
(I've currently got all the ones supported in v9 supported in v8 as well)

I found the source of the XYZ problem!



And I fixed it:

[Xiggah]

I found the source of the XYZ problem!



And I fixed it:

Nice! What was the error?

[BlackJax96]

Nice! What was the error?

It was the error in the new asset decoder.
When the vertices aren't XYZ, a third value isn't read at the 3rd iteration, but it accidentally WAS read but not actually output to the buffer, offsetting every value after that one.

I found the source of the XYZ problem!



And I fixed it:

awesome man, just awesome!

and now Mewtwo2000 and Bero r more proud of u! =D

[DarkPikachu]

nice job BJ :D

hey I have a Q...
the IREF structre...
how does it work??

and I have another Q...

the data structures are a multiple of 32 depending on the data length right...
so how do you go about reading them??

and also...
your award :<

how'd you get the dedicated hacker award before me?? :<

I think our dedications to our hacking are pretty much equal <_<
and I've been hacking since before you started >_>

I just feel left out =3=
wers awad 4 me?? ;_;
- figured out REFT format
- converted Melee models to OBJ (and still am)
- figured out certain MDL0 aspects that extended our work in brawl hacking

Patrick: I want an award *cries*

Ah, Ikubi Akius. It's been a long time since I've last seen you.

Anyway, it's good that you were able to fix that problem now. :)

LOL
"Their sheer dedication in SSBB hacking granted them over 10 000 downloads. "
Doesn't really mean anything programming-wise.
There are no programming awards... ._.

And IREF, I actually dunno. It only shows up at the end of the KSel Swap Table.
I'll have to see if I can find bit shifts for it in the SDK.
