Hey guys few questions

[Shadowwrath5]

Hey guys Im new to all of this and yes I read the entire guide but I still have a few questions. First things first where does each pac file for brawl box go? I think I have them all but Im not sure exactly which ones go where. I was able to put a few in but alot are still not in yet.

Second in my folders for the fighters nothing is in them is that okay? Do only the hacked characters go in them? Same with the stages?

Thanks guys I have a few more questions but Ill ask them as I need them I dont want to ask something I could just find. Really appreciate it I know everyon hates the noob

Third question and this one is a bit urgent. If you get codes for the custom css and sss and giga bowser etc as well as the patch file, where do they go? I have to numbers but idk what to do with them

Can you specify?

Yup, that's fine. It'll only change the characters if it finds something it can USE to change them.

well sorry I figured that part out but new question: 1.) What are the names of the folders in the pac files to change the character icons and portraits in and out of battle?
2.) Does each costume have its own name on screen? Like if I have two different textures on marth can I have the names marth, roy, and ichigo all on that one character when you change the costume?
3.) Finally where are the folders in the pac files for the loading screen, the sound effects and music, the on screen words (like 3,2,1 go and game, and would you like to connect to wifi etc) and the results screen. 

Sorry for the questions but with the answers for all this above I should be finished with what I need to do. Thank you its much appreciated.

1.) What are the names of the folders in the pac files to change the character icons and portraits in and out of battle?

In sc_selcharacter_en, there are four important folders, the way I see it. char_bust_tex_lz77 is where you change your CSPs - the portrait of the character that shows up on the bottom of the character select screen. Each character is assigned a number that applies to each of the folders; for example, Cpt. Falcon is 9. MiscData[30] > Textures(NW4R) contains the characters' names that show up on the bottom of the character select screen, on top of the CSPs, as well as the character logos that appear on the character select screen. MiscData[70] > Textures(NW4R) has all of the character select icons, the little boxes that you use to select a character on the character select screen. It also has the names that appear over the icons. MiscData[90] > Textures(NW4R) has the little heads that appear in various places throughout the game to indicate which character is going to appear next. These are the most important folders for the mundane hacker, I believe.

For the in battle portrait, you need to find the InfFacexxx.brres that corresponds with each character and edit it to your liking. For example InfFace091.brres is Cpt. Falcon's normal color battle portrait. The InfFacexxx.brres files go into pf > Info > potrite .

2.) Does each costume have its own name on screen? Like if I have two different textures on marth can I have the names marth, roy, and ichigo all on that one character when you change the costume?

Unfortunately, no, each character can have only one name. However, like mentioned above, you can change their CSPs to reflect the different costumes.

3.) Finally where are the folders in the pac files for the loading screen, the sound effects and music, the on screen words (like 3,2,1 go and game, and would you like to connect to wifi etc) and the results screen. 

As far as I know, sound effects can only be changed when using Riivolution. I use Gecko OS, so I can't help you there. Music goes in the pf > sound > btrsm folder. The songs need to be in .btrsm format, and need to be renamed according to which music slot on which stage you want them to play on. I will include a link at the bottom that has a list of the music names. Most of the things you suggested are in the MiscData[30] > Textures(N4WR) file.

Okay last few things I hope Im sorry I searched and couldnt find this:
1.) where does the custom loading screen go (in th pf folder) (also not the loading screen when the game comes on I want to change the now loading at the bottom of the screen to now hacking. I can get an exact pic if you need it to know what Im refering to)?
2.) where do the custom results screen go (in the pf folder)?
3.) can you refer me to a naming guide for the stages?
4.) does each costume for each fighter have its own attacks pac? If so how do you name that?
5.) when a song plays on brawl there is a rectangle with the name of the song in it. If I put my own songs in can I edit the name that goes in that box?

Thank you this should be it as long as it works on my wii thank you for your time and patience.

[Hamguy]

I can't answer all of your questions, but I'll say what I can.

2.) where do the custom results screen go (in the pf folder)?

The results screen images go in pf\Menu\common\char_bust_tex. They are .brres files and are titled "MenSelChrFaceBxxx.brres". Each character has a different number.

3.) can you refer me to a naming guide for the stages?

I believe that the stages are named in the link I posted earlier.

4.) does each costume for each fighter have its own attacks pac? If so how do you name that?

I may be wrong here (this is based purely off of speculation and observation), but I believe that a .pac file changes the moveset/bone structure of a character, and a .pcs changes the skin of the character. So I think that if you have one .pac file, it applies to all of the characters costumes. Again, I could be wrong.

5.) when a song plays on brawl there is a rectangle with the name of the song in it. If I put my own songs in can I edit the name that goes in that box?

I am 99% sure that this cannot be changed.

1.) Okay thanks a bunch for your help and Im not saying your wrong or anything but can anyone back up Hamguy's answer to 4 and 5? Thank you.
2.) Also when I was changing the portraits for the characters in the css pac and the sss pac (not the real nomes I know) I noticed there is no textures for giga bowser and the alloys is this right? or are they somewhere else?
3.) Finally when saving pac files again the brawlbox wants to as _en to thee end of the file. I delete that right?

Thank you very very much I know I must be annoying you but Im putting everything in today so wish me luck!

4.) You can't have a separate moveset per costume. Both the .pac and .pcs files are for the character's costume

5.) Yes, you can change it, but I honestly forget how.

[Shadowwrath5]

Okay thank you Gamma Ridley.
If any one knows how to change the song banner please post it here. Thanks


edit: the guide I was looking at has a broken link to hacking the items if you have another please add it here.

Edit: can you use Wii scrubber to insert a custom opening movie and load the other cheats on the sd through gecko os?
