Make the colors editable if they aren't yet (that's a really quick fix for sure) and let people edit them easily. But don't change the standard color when importing.

You can edit them, but it's not immediately obvious on how to do so. Click on the "Colors" node, then click on the line that has "RGBAPixel[] Array", and a small button with "..." should appear on the right. Click on that, and you can then change the RGBA values.

Actually it just crashes when I save a brres file in general.

Oh, I did not test it yet, I was being based on what people were saying about it xD

I personally do not edit colors, cause I edit them previously in 3dsmax if needed, or use the automatic color thing when importing, and leave it in the default value (128).

Still, if that's the way, it looks a little hidden and not very friendly, but it's true that not many people are gonna try to edit them anyway.

In-Brawlbox Tips ahoy. I could imagine a nice little FAQ section in the help toolbar, which would literally target every "noob" Brawlbox user.

Material tool lets you globally edit them, only that the values are in hex... You would need to put 646464 in the color box, and press enter.

Anyway, about this:

Better not. Standard is 128, and should be kept like that. If certain characters are too bright, you can edit their textures to make them darker, or manually edit those color values to 100 or lower values. But not change the default.

Make the colors editable if they aren't yet (that's a really quick fix for sure) and let people edit them easily. But don't change the standard color when importing.

Anyway, a side effect of lowering the color values for the character is that the metal texture gets darker too. I mean, darker than other characters, when you compare them. I'm sure there's some way to darken just a little the materials by editing the shaders, cause my Mewtwo trophy looks slighly darker when a trophy shader is used instead of a character one. And changing the shader doesn't affect the metal texture, cause that one uses a different shader.

Isn't there some way the shade changes the colors of a model? I think that should be the primary thing to change in model imports rather than color nodes.

[Naruto200Man]

I have a suggestion for the new model previewer...

Automatic animation fixing when porting animations from/to sonic the hedgehog.
You know, a window comes up asking if it's for sonic  or not, if yes it ports it and corrects the arm rotations on it's own, if no it just runs the normal animation porter

Not sure if that'd be easy, but it's just an idea =3

[Tempo_]

Doesn't BrawlBox already do that.

And the fact that you want it specifically for Sonic makes your idea... dumb, simply.

Actually "raster color" uses the color node's RGBA color as an input. I believe the 1 - c part of the color output is why changing the color node to 0,0,0,255 makes the model darker in game and changing it up to 255,255,255,255 makes it brighter, which is reverse of the standard color scheme (0 = white, 255 = black).

The shader only manipulates colors you input into it, so you need to actually specify the colors it uses somewhere else, which would be the texture, color node, konstant selection, a fixed value like 1, or one of the register colors.

And I already started actually making a help guide for Brawlbox under the help button... XD
I'll try to make the color nodes more easily editable too.

So, I recently downloaded the newest version of BrawlBox. It was working great, except that it seems unable to compress files properly. I went to edit my music titles in Info.pac, which was about 391 KB. After I finished editing, it froze Brawl, because the file size expanded to 1.20 MB. I tested BrawlBox by editing a clean Info.pac file, and only deleted one letter from the title of the main Brawl theme, and the file size shot up to 1.20 MB again. So, is anyone else aware of this glitch? I redownloaded .63d and it works great.

[Blazingflare]

I found a bug
It may have been mentioned but the newest version isnt compressing the common3.pac file correctly
I know this because it caused my common3 to break the file size limit while my older version did not when I added one model hack over the beamsword with no other item hacks

its not dumb, cuz sonic is the only character which has a bone rotated 180 degrees IN T-POSE!
so yeah, he is an exception...

edit: btw, if i were to make a stage, and that stage has a character imported too, would i use the character option or stage option when importing??? xD
this is a serious question...

if ur adding a character to a stage, then use the character import option

Edit: Figured it out (Well some was Dsx's) -  When an animation is saved, it doesn't modify the frame count on the Vis0, so when it tries to sync the Vis0 it'll crash. My Wait2's 125 frames while the vis0 was 172. Def needs a fix'in.

Actually most char's Right leg is 180.

I look out for the compression issue you guys are having... >.>

Thanks, I'll fix it right away.

Nah, practically every Brawl character has at least one bone turned 180 deg. Sonic is no exception.

I see now, the problem is when I save a file with a or import a pat0/texture pattern.
Does brawl box .65 have support with pat0 files? Its not working for me.
