Tutorial: How to do your own Stage Selection Portraits / Pictures / Stage Names

[raverrebel]

What you need:

• Brawlbox (Get it >>here<<)
• Gimp (Get it  >>here<< or >>here<<)
  Attention! I use the German Version of Gimp, so the buttons of Gimp are freely translated by me, it could be that they have slightly different names!
• >>This<< gimp file
• this image:
  
  Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
• "sc_selmap.pac" of your region
  If you don't already have one, here is how to get one:
  
  Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.


• optionally a good font to create stagenames (Get it  >>here<<). Doubleclick it and click install. (for Win7 users, if you are not a Win7 user google how to install a font.

What you've got to do:
You need a picture of the stage you want to do the things for. Often the preview picture here on BrawlVault is enough.



MenSelmapPrevbase.XX
Open it with Gimp, click on picture then on scale image. Click on the upper chain and resize the picture to 176x176 Pixel. Click on file, export and save it as PNG-image.




MenSelmapIcon.XX
Open it with Gimp and resize it like described before, but this time to 64x56 Pixel. Click File, then open as new layer and choose the miniimage.xcf. Maybe you need to arrange the layers with drag & drop. If it looks good export and save it as PNG-image.




MenSelmapFrontStname.XX
Open the name.png with Gimp. Click on tools, then on text and make a big textbox on the name.png. Change the color to white (right bottom corner). Optionally change the font to SuperSmashFont. Write the Name of your Stage and choose a font-size. Export and save it as PNG-image.


How to import it to Brawl
Open your sc_selmap.pac with BrawlBox and replace the pictures you want to replace (right-click, replace).
They should be located in MiscData[80].

The sc_selmap.pac should go into the menu2 folder on your sdcard.
