Riivolution Character Choosing

[Thomasco2013]

Sorry for the not great title bit here's my overall question: In this video,

It has nothing to do with stage selection but what the person does in riivolution, he selects the characters that are active when he launches super smash Bros. How do you select characters in riivolution like that? Do you just put all the characters in one specific directory whit the titles the person had like dry Bowser? This happens from the beginning to about 4:26.

you need a specific xml file to do this. maybe he did his own file.
i think there are tutorials about how to do a xml file.. search for them or ask him for his files.

Okay thanks. I tried asking with no response. And I've tried searching this with no luck really.

okay, if you want to use the xml for your own hacks then you would need to modify it..
so i think the best way would be to learn how to do your own xml file, i don't think that it is that hard^^ good luck!

Learning to make your own custom XML isn't exactly easy. You need to learn the structure of a xml file, and what you can and can't do to make it work in-game.

For instance, the xml file needs to start with game ID / region so Riivolution recognizes the right xml with the game. Next, you have an "options" section, where you can make options for whatever you want, like for example different sets of stages. You can create multiple choices within the options, and each choice needs a "patch id", so Riivolution knows where in the xml it should look for commands.
After the options section, you have the patch section, where you have all the commands that tell Riivolution which files you want to replace, with your own ones.

I can give you an example of a xml that I used to use (take note this is a PAL xml):

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

I don't know how to add multiple pages to a xml, though :\

Thanks for the info on it! I'm just starting to come back to my ssbb hacking and I remember nothing so thanks! Also thanks for the xml!

Feel free to ask more questions if you need anymore help :)

[Thomasco2013]

Okay thanks!

UPDATE: So apparently one of the links in the description of the video did give a link to the website of the xml. But I honestly dont know how to use it and the site doesnt give what i think to be a good and clear description on how to use it. So if somebody could see this and figure it out be nice!
