After being unsuccessful in creating CSPs using Gimp/ cupash, I've decided to try Brawl box. I was surprised on how easy it was to add and edit CSPs.
But before I continue investing my time creating CSPs for my whole roster, I was wondering if there was a way to create battle and .bress portraits using brawlbox. If it is, anyone mind telling me how?
It's possible, but it sucks since you need to edit one brres for one Battle Portrait. I still use CUPASH for that, and the Victory Screen portraits.
Victory screen portraits aren't that bad since they have all the CSPs of one character in one brres.
EDIT: To save time creating Victory screen portraits, extract the brres of one character in the common5_en.pac, and rename it to MenSelchrFaceB###.brres (more info on naming here
