Extra Character Slot

[ASF1nk]

Te lo dije?

This tutorial will give you +1 character in you roster.

I know this is more like a tutorial but it seems to fit in this section the most; at least for now...

Aaaaaaaand of course not everything is as good as it seems...
-Still not able to replace the cosmetics for the new character. [CSPs, Names, BPs, Result Portraits, Stock Icons]
-Gfx still mess up when the base character is in-game.
-Probably still doesnt work on Wi-Fi. [Haven't tested]

Regarding two posts, I would like to recommend to keep a backup of your save file.
Use at your own risk.
Like I said, I've been using this for over a year with no negative results.

I also want to point out that, besides putting this puzzle together most of this is not my work.
A lot of credit goes to Dantarion, Spunit262, and PhantomWings for this to be possible.

So let's get started!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Using the Custom CSS code we will create a cloned CSS slot for a character. In this case Marth.

387E006C 3B600000

2c170028 41820168
02680DE0 0022FFFF
06680DE0 000000YY
ZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZ

To create a cloned slot we just add 64 decimal or 0x40 hex to the character ID you desire to clone. [Mario, Zelda, CF, Kirby, ICs, ROB, Pokemon, Bowser, and Wario cannot be used]
In this case we take Marth's character ID 0x11 and add 0x40 and we get 0x51.

0x11 + 0x40 = 0x51

We take the Custom CSS code and add the value of 51 along we the characters that we want in the
CSS.

YY = number of characters in hex.
ZZ = character IDs.

Final Result should be something like the following code.

3. Next we use the following codes by Dantarion:

"This code is needed to stop the game from saving usage data into an invalid location.

I need to v2 it for all the other characters that the other No Wreck My Music Code does."

"This code has 2 parts.

Part 2 writes pointers to those two strings in the instance slot positions for ROY"

04455568 13321D10
044557D8 10011332

"This code makes it so that the character slot for MarioD loads ROY. It also...does...TODO"

4. We now add the missing piece to the puzzle. The Character/Costume Replacement code.

We will take the cloned Marth and replace him with MarioD.
MarioD will then load the Roy instance slot [27] thanks to the codes in step 3.

Character/Costume Replacement [spunit262]
80000000 90180B48

38000004 FF0000 XX <---Costume to replace [FitMarthXX]

86000000 00000004
86000001 0000005C
62000000 00000000

In this case we replace WW with 0x51 [Cloned Marth] and YY with 0x32 for MarioD Character Slot.
For the Costumes just replace XX and ZZ with the same value for each section. There will be 1 section per costume.
leave Q as zero.

Ex.

etc.

We will do this for all the costumes of Marth.
After we are finished with each costume we will add the end of the code.

End of code

The begining and end of the code need no editing.
You might also need to add sections depending on the character.

The end result will look like this:

5. Finally we add the last piece; the module.

Luckily, thanks to the awesome work of PhantomWings we will skip most of the hexing and use his new Plug&Play modules.
We can use any of his modules. Which one to use depends on who your new character is based from.
In this case we will use Marth's Plug&Play module.

We take Marth's P&P module and open it in Module Editor v3.2.
We will skip the Module ID, and go straight to selecting section[8] and then the Memory Viewer.


In the memory viewer we will change the first value [11]


To Roy's Character ID [27]



After that don't forget to save the module.

Character ID will always be 27 for any module, be it Ike's P&P or Lucario's P&P, since we are using Roy's instance slot.

6. Only thing left now is to set up our SD cards.
We will use Roy for the file names, though it can be changed.

a. Inside the pf/fighter folder we need to create a folder named 'roy' Inside there we will need:
  -FitRoy.pac
  -FotRoy00-05.pac [Depending on the character you might need different pac numbers]
  -FitRoyFinal.pac
  -FitRoyMotionEtc.pac
b. Inside the pf/module folder:  
  -ft_roy.rel

At the end your codes should look like this:

And that's it!!! Enjoy your full roster +1 character.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Optional:

-You might want your new character to appear in random, in that case use the Custom Random code.  

-The P&P currently only play the character's sound bank after the 1st match, so you might want to use the Sound Bank codes.
Here are a few pre-made:

Roy has Marth's Sound Bank
4A000000 80AD89E0
1400009C 00000013
E0000000 80008000

E0000000 80008000

-If you want to change the file names used in the SD card you need to change the "Roy Instance Slot File" code on step 3 for one of these I edited.

Now you can use any Marth PSA using this tutorial.
I recommend Thany's Roy!!!

Here is a sample with a GCT and the module.
Inside the 'roy' folder just copy what's inside the 'Costumes and moveset files' folder in Decloned Roy's rar.
Copy the files as is.

[DoctorFlux(Mariodk)]

awesome!!
finnaly it is possible
hope its soon possible to add more xd

[BlueBrain]

this is awesome
too bad how hardcoded everything is in project M

[spiritpyros]

Anyone have video of this working.

[Shun_One]

Looking at it, wouldn't it be possible to get cosmetics by using codes and pointing them to the empty/additional places in the games memory?

For example, in sc_selcharacter.pac if we could point the CSPs to [MiscData20] or the empty [MiscData41].

Excellent job with this though. I had tried it a while back and hadn't thought to try it again with the new module's. Now, if my theory for the characters sfx pans out...

[Kaye Cruiser]

This is pretty cool. o.o

If we can find a way to add all the cosmetic stuff, soundpacks, and one more slot, I'd be excited to have both Roy and Mewtwo back in here. :3

[ToadKart]

Awesome code! Would this work if you have all extra characters already added(ZSS, Sheik, independent Pokemon, Wario Man, Giga Bowser, separate Popo and Nana, and alloys) or would I have to get rid of one?

[SiLeNtDo0m]

Wouldn't recommend using these codes.  They're borked and will most likely mess up your save file in some way because the codes being used here for the most part are outdated and unstable.

In other words, move along people there's not really much to see here.

Though I'm still super hyped for the CSS

If it was hardcoded we wouldn't have been able to edit it in the first place.  The coders have merely coded it in such a way so that it's difficult for most people to edit.

In other words, move along people there's not really much to see here.

Though I'm still super hyped for the CSS

If it was hardcoded we wouldn't have been able to edit it in the first place.  The coders have merely coded it in such a way so that it's difficult for most people to edit.

its better then nothing still so finnaly can ppl use the red haired melee Marth with Fire hit effects/GFXs without replace anyone else

Been using it over a year no problems. =)

But I guess it couldn't hurt to back up your save.

Oh yeah and use at your own risk, I guess.

Well, unless you don't mind having a bugged save, a reasonable change of borked tags and occasional crashes (especially on the title screen), along with the more random things like DDD freezing the game when hit and sudden increases in character momentum that is.
So yeah, like SDo0m said, there isn't much to see here and unless you REALLY want to, you're better off not using these codes and just port characters like Roy and Mewtwo over already existing characters.

I'm sure people will be amazed at this no matter if the savegame gets corrupted.

So, well, at least backup your save with savegame manager or something if you care about it  :-\

ASF1nk, if you've been able to use this for a whole year, how it comes you're sharing it now?  :-X

I know... sorry for keeping this. :(

I would have thought someone would have figured it out by now.

An extra Marth slot would be nice. Thanks for this.

On another note, your SSS looks really great.

of course im not talking about hardcoded so the developers cant edit it, i mean a regular user cant modify anything, i cant even get mewtwo in it replacing one of the unfinished characters
