Do the cloned slots have to be PSA's or can they be exact copies of the characters already in the game? Like others have said, there aren't 100 PSA's, but since this doesn't work with Cbliss you could just clone a Mario and put more textures on him.

This is the most amazing start of the year eveeeer.

Amazing, PhantomWings. Now let's see you reach the 100 posts at last!

It looks like I accidentally posted a Custom CSS code with part of my own character roster mixed in, so if you tried using that code, it probably didn't work for you.

Here's a proper default roster CSS code.

Also, if the icons are showing up as Random, then that means BrawlEx isn't running at all. Make sure you have both the bx_fighter.rel module and common2.pac in the proper places in your patching directory.

sorry if u already explained it (although I skimmed through and didnt see it) but how do you create/properly edit the slotconfig? thats the only thing i dont understand

No, you didn't miss it. I forgot to add the details on the format. I'm going to be doing a major overhaul on the OP today or tomorrow to get things a little bit more organized.

For now, you can use the template files included in the download. If you're having troubles determining which id belongs to which character, you can look them up on the OpenSA website

This looks incredible, I can't way to try this!

But if you could, alot of newbs will need a video tutorial so they can do this from scratch,so,if anyone could make one,im sure millions will appreciate it

I can't make a video tutorial at the moment, but if you use the files in the Test Files folder instead of the Core Files folder, and use the code I just posted above, that should get you started.

### Usage
##
##########################################

To use the BrawlEx Clone Engine, copy
the contents of the Core Files directory
into the following directory of your SD
card:

SD:/private/wii/RSBE/pf/

is that directory? or this?

SD:/private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/

The first one's a typo. Use SD:/private/wii/app/RSBE/pf/

You can make exact clones of characters providing you have all the regular resource files for that character. This means if you'd like, you can make a separate slot for character skins with their own color set even if the movesets are the same. Also, it is possible to add color slots to characters using the CSSSlot Config files accomplishing the same effect as CBLISS. I'll post more details on how to modify them once I update the OP.

Amazing, PhantomWings. Now let's see you reach the 100 posts at last!

Been here for 4 years, have post count less than 100.   :af2:

[Tabuu Forte Akugun]

I can't wait till you  can get this working for USB users. My SD card slot isn't working 100% D:

[Kage Ryu]

Oh no. This is terrible. Now I'm going to be holed up in my apartment for ages on end and not show up at work or school because I'll be far too busy playing with this. I'm going to forget what the sun looks like.


But seriously. Amazing work here. I had to reread that "100 slots" part several times to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Your hard work is not unappreciated, Phantom. This is fantastic.



PS: For the record, I love the OP theatrics.

[KingJigglypuff]

Thanks, PhantomWings.

It's working now with the updated code.

Though if I want to add more slots than just 3F and 40, which values would I edit of the original code?

Also, I'll restate my previous question.

On the subject of my Transformation Question, which PSA Command would I use to change the characters?

[PhantomWings]

Good to hear that everything's running for everyone now. Releases like these are always a little bumpy.

Honestly though, I never would have been able to do this if there weren't such an awesome modding community here to begin with.

"On the subject of my Transformation Question, which PSA Command would I use to change the characters?"

To add new character ids, just keep shifting the 29 value over to the right or onto a new line and add the new character ids in between. You'll also need to update the icon count in the code by however many characters you add. There are other ways you can organize your CSS as well, but you'll have to experiment a little bit to see what works for you.

Transformations actually require a custom PSA command (the 0C series of commands in particular reference code in the character's module). If you want to add a transforming character, you'll need some knowledge on character modules. I don't fully understand how it's done myself, but I'll be here for support if you ever want to start a thread to look into it.

welp. i can have 1 extra slot, but if i try to add another, i get a second random spot, which freezes the game, and i get anothe rmario

Alright.

So would this be right for the third character?

That would be great if you could look into it.

Though instead of a new thread, it might be more useful for information/progress to be on this thread for consistency. Though that's just me.

Would it be possible for me to look into say Zelda's rel and somehow port the transformation information onto the BrawlEx P&P rel I want with fixed IDs?

[PhantomWings]

You'll have to show me which ids you are using. If the icon is Random, then that means it isn't one that's mapped by BrawlEx. If the icon is Mario and causes the game to crash when loading the match, then either it doesn't have any config files loaded into it, the resource files for the character don't exist on your SD card, or both.

While the cosmetic data for ExSlots defaults to Mario, they will try to load up Fighter<id>Ex.pac by default. As those files don't normally exist in the game, they are expected to crash if they aren't configured.

Alright.

The red part is wrong. For the most part, you're never going to use ids 2A through 3E unless you really know what you're doing. The last id in the code should always be 29 for most standard cases.

This is the correct form of the last line:

im using 3F and 40, as in the test pack. I used just 3F and it was fine. Extra slot was there, everything loaded. I added 40, and now the working one turned to teh crashing random, and 40 turend to a working mario. i then lowered the css count by one, removed 40, and 3F is still broken.

[Batman]

I finally got it!
Like omfg all these feels right now... Okay, now that I'm slowly getting this all there should be now is knowing these codes from what I'm getting so far to get more slots..

Edit; Okay, for some reason when I use Marth Ex's final it freezes like any typical final freeze via final. When I restart it, I get the random CSS's again, and the same thing happens when I attempt to go over it..

Edit2; I'm testing Ike Ex right now. Let see what happens when I use his final.. Alright, his seems to be fine..

Edit3; The roster issue seems to be fluctuating between having the random CSS, and the Marth/Ike EX, and often freezes when I go into training. If it freezes when I attempt to go into training, I assume that it had the random CSS issue.

[Soneek]

I see that there are a lot of missing Ex modules right now. Is there a way for us to help complete and add the missing ones? It seems to be the only thing preventing me from adding a new slot for Captain Falcon.

[KingJigglypuff]

Another GFX question...

Can we use a Clone character's ID for GFX, so there won't be conflicts?

Also, what could we do for SFX?

I have a bug report as well.

Sometimes after leaving Training Mode, the controller goes unresponsive. With the exception of the Gamecube C Stick, no other controller part will respond, so you'll have to exit the game with the Wiimote and go to Home to start again.
