Let's look into Module Fíles (.rel) - Defensive Collision is now!

[pikazz]

hi, I made this thread so we can collect all the Module information, try to understand that and how to rebuild them.
this is a very hard task, the legends of brawlhacking Dant and Phantomwings looked into it much but they desiced to take a life-long break before they have complete it.
so lets continue their footsteps.

What is Module File?
Module Files (.rel) is there all the information is about characters, stages, menu.
it can example say how many brres one stage will load in a pac, if any event like things that can hurt you in stage load, Characters Articles like Lucarios Aura Sphere.

How much information is it about Module files?
currently not much, only Dant and Phantomwings knows it like 20 times more than us and that sadly true pretty little.
the only things we know is how they work since Phantomwings gave that's information out.
but we know there is ASM in Module Files

Module IDs

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

What is ASM?
ASM stands for Assembly language
here is a wiki about ASM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_language

ASM simplies
here is a great site to see all the ASM doing like li, stw, blr ect
http://class.ee.iastate.edu/cpre211/labs/quickrefPPC.html


Any helpful information or links?
http://forums.kc-mm.com/index.php?topic=29937.0 The information Phantomwhings gave us personally on how stages works.
http://opensa.dantarion.com/wiki/Patching_Charcter_Modules a helpful wiki done by Dant and that's more about Characters to "patch"

he gave us a gift :3
look at his post!

I suggest to also take a look at the sora_melee.rel (sora standing for 'shared object random access'), as that module is basically the main module and contains scripts for things like items (both normal items and assist trophies), stages, characters (like Lucario's Aura Sphere) and even basic things like collisions, sounds and tethers.

I know but I haven't got into that big file yet, just on stage and characters to begin with

it looks like Modules are ASM o.o
cause it reminds me of SMW hacking ASM but way more advanced

[Sky Grounder]

Subbed to thread, this is interesting stuff! I can't help much though, I don't know ASM at all (if that's what's used in module files).

[KnightMario]

sweet.
so will I be able to do stuff like port sonic's final smash to mario?
because that would be epic.
and don't forget blackjax is working on these too.

[Eternal Yoshi]

I'm subbing too, though I don't know PPC ASM yet.

I want to learn how to make more generic.rel files like the one Phantom Wings made for Ike.

[DoctorFlux(Mariodk)]

that will be a awesome FS for Cape mode on SMBZ mario (tried to make it before without transfrom but just with moving around/make dmg like as Super sonic but failed)

[pikazz]

added stuff in OP

will try to replace the bob-ombs in sudden death to pokeballs, that's my next project in modules :srs:

yeah but we must know where to port and how to port

The .pdf at the following link may prove useful for ASM.

This has me interested if I can further my studies.

I hope this helps,

here is a wiki page about ASM

and I have found a site about "ASM simplier" code whichs Modules also using!

that's great :3

[SonicBrawler]

yes. i support this. i have been wanting moduel files to be explored. imagine if we could make ssbb like street fighter or mortal kombat :D

plus the fact porting characters could be done easiyer if a program is made

[ForOhFor Error]

Of course it's in assembly, it's probably compiled C++

[Eternal Yoshi]

Pikazz, we don't even know which file would trigger the sudden death bombs.

Maybe start smaller by modding something that we know which file(s) to look in to?

Can we try to say, gather more data on how stage module files store and organize their hitboxes?

what was the point of it? was it so that it is easyer to port ike hacks? because i can port ike hacks w/out the generic .rel adn just a reg one

[Eternal Yoshi]

But generic .rel ports are better overall since they have functional articles, unlike most PSA ports.
