Stage .rels and you - A New finding involving stage hitbox parameters.

[Eternal Yoshi]

So one day Standardtoaster found the hitboxes for Port Town(NTSC-J) and made a code for them.
He also made a vid of it testing with the cars doing 999%.

Reading down, Amazing Ampharos & Thinkman found hitboxes for Norfair in it's rel near FFD8,
and shown the hex values used,
which opened the door further for searching and editing for hitboxes in stage .rels.

Values are stored in modules. Thinkaman and I found some in Norfair. Go to FFD8 and look nearby. 38a0XXXX is damage, 38e0XXXX angle, 3940XXXX base, 3900XXXX growth. This changes the hitboxes on the lava floor. E310 uses the same mapping (but they are listed in a different order!) and affects the lava walls. Trying to figure these files out further is proving very hard for me.

Default values for PTAD cars are 14h damage, 5ah angle, and some known kbg and bkb but Norfair is the only case I have so far of editing modules succssfully and changing in-game damage behavior.

It's in a slightly different format than PSA but editable all the same.

So I decided to share this with you guys.

Below is a .rel I made to make the FZero cars weaker and more feasible.

If you want to help find hitboxes, the easiest way to do so is to search for this in the hex editor:

38 A0 00 XX

XX = hitbox damage

A reference list by AA below.
Be sure to put these values in hex when searching.

Do be aware that not all hitboxes use 38 A0 00 XX as damage.
The first 3 numbers may vary a bit.

[Gamma Ridley]

Awesome! So is it now possible to assign collisions to things that normally don't have them?

[Eternal Yoshi]

We are getting to that later.
Phanom Wings and pals are starting to totally define Brawl's module files, so it may be a while.
For all we know, defining everything may be the key to a lot of solutions.

[Gamma Ridley]

I sure hope so. Stages will become much more in-depth and interactive than ever before....

[Eternal Yoshi]

While we wait, I'm gonna make .rels to tweak the hitboxes to make them balanced or insane, depending on what I feel like doing.

You can use the following .rel with any stage that's compatible with normal Pirate Ship.

Here's Balanced Pirate Ship NTSC-U.

Yay! I'm sure this will lead to some awesome things. Thanks for the Balanced Pirate Ship too.

[Puraidou]

A low knockback high damage norfair file would be great if you can make that for me :D

[ItalianStallion]

This is mad nice EternalYoshi. Now I know what's been keeping you busy from finishing Lyn.

By the way, what's the name of the song you used?

EDIT: Nevermind. I see it on the video info.

[Eternal Yoshi]

Wish I saw that request earlier. I'll do it when I can.

Later tonight or early tomorrow.

This is just the start of what defining the module files has done.

When we are done, character and stage making will be different ball games for sure.

I see what you did there :P

[Naruto200Man]

OMG
That means we can at some point control the colissions of stages :af2:

Also, can you make a norfair that freezes instead of burning? That'd be hilarious for the lols

[Segtendo]

...a little late to respond, I see?

Good discovery and thanks for releasing this info.
