So, What's New in the Smash Hacks Community?

[Mewcario]

I've been out of the Brawl hacking scene for quite some time. I can't even remember the last time I touched my hacked Wii... I miss it, and I want to get back into it. Thing is, it's hard to just jump back in without knowing what's changed. So what better way to find out than to ask the amazing community? 

Generally speaking, what's been going on with the development and progress of Smash hacks? I read up on the BBox dev thread and notced that SFX hacking is about to get much easier. How about PSA-ing? Is it still a relatively obscure skill? Are one-slot PSAs possible yet, or still just one-slot size mods? Are there codes for extra stages and individual CSS (i.e. Ivysaur by itself) icons that never cause freezing? Heck, is there a File Patch Code more recent than 3.5.1 (other than the super-buggy v4.0)?

I'm not sure whether this would go in the Help / Tutorials section, but I figured that this was more of a "let's get a general update" thread than a "something doesn't work plz halp" thread.

it's easier to make PSAs now with BB cause you can preview the hitboxes in the model preview.

we will never be able to use one-slot PSA but there is one slot size mod.
in PSA, we are able to make special throws!

and soon we will be able to make more advance hacked stages with gimmicks!

Well, I'm not sure if this is in the right section or not... But.

Model imports are now possible.

Yes, sound mods are being worked on to be easier.

There's still not many people making PSAs.

One Slot PSAs are not possible. However some PSAs can be rel ported onto other characters. Like Roy over Olimar.

There is a Stage Select Expansion code made by PhantomWings. Which can be downloaded in a pack made by libertyernie.

And if I recall... With some additional codes. You can edit the CSS without crashing. I can't remember where those other codes are though...


So yeah... Quite a bit has happened.
