need help adding skins to brawl

[Trident]

ok well i followed the complete noobs guide to hacking riivolutions is installed and everythings set
but what i cnt find is how to get a downloaded skin for a character  into brawl using riivolution and an sd card

You should use BeyondYou's Riivolution launcher. It's Riivolution, but with the same directory setup as Gecko (which I'm assuming you use).

That'll most likely help out...unless of course I'm completely wrong about your issue in the first... place

i dont use geko so i dnt need to switch to riivolution
i installed riivolution from the homebrew channel
now i have riivolution.....but nothing to add into the game

i downloaded a few skins such as captain america for falcon... but i dont no how to make it so that riivolution reads it and adds the skin to the gameplay
i have checked all the tut's for help but they all talk about random directories i have no clue how the heck you get them to sum it up i need to no where u get the directories..... i no where to put the files if i have that then theres the probability that ill have a problem for riivolution to read the files i replaced and let me use them

i have the problem and the answer theres just a missing space in places

Okay. Try this instead. I've taken my basic set-up for Riivolution and made a copy of it. If you want, you could try using that. It's completely empty, so you'd have to add whatever textures you may have for yourself, but the directories are MUCH easier. The .pac and .pcs files for the textures go into the fighter folder, under that particular character's name

Here's the link to the set-up:

And here's a link for the basic Gecko directories (I know you're not using Gecko, but it'll have the same directories):

this helped with placing the skin and stages THANK YOU THIS IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR
but now it freezes at the loading screen before the video b4 the menue starts up whats the error here

[Juri Han]

I believe that has something to do with the GCT file that I stupidly left in there. Remove my GCT, and replace it with the codes that you use. Make sure to leave out the File Patch code, though. Riivolution doesn't use it

[Trident]

i took out your gct file but i dont use any codes am i suposed to?
all im trying for is stages and skins once i have those thats my purpose

[Trident]

after i took out the file it still freezes when it says now loading...it took longer but still froze...

[Juri Han]

Hmm...well it should add the textures automatically. Try downloading this and putting into the "info2" folder in the setup

[Trident]

what do you mean by setup? i dont see any folder named setup?

[Juri Han]

No...in the folder you downloaded, you should find a folder called "Info2". Place info.pac in there

The directory is like this:
private > wii > app > RSBE > pf > info2

[Trident]

i did that and it froze again immidiately in the same exact spot...

[Juri Han]

I don't see why it's doing that, but since you're having trouble with Riivo, maybe you should just switch over to Gecko. It's perfectly capable of being able to do exactly what you want (stages and textures)

The only difference is that Gecko does need the File Replacement code in your GCT file.

[Trident]

that sounds like sumthing worth trying... i have wii menu 4.3 i think gecko is compatible and i dont have a gct file cept the one u gave me but its in my recycle bin do i have to make my own or is using urs gud <<no code knowledge whatsoever it all looks like japanese

[Trident]

k installed gecko works like a charm but it doesnt load my skins its just the default brawl stuff
how close am i nao
