The Brawl Expansion Project

[ShadowSnake]

I'm a little late for the party but this is absolutely groundbreaking PhantomWings, it's because of guys like you, Dantarion and InternetExplorer that the brawl hacking community is still alive.

Anyways I tried out Asf1nk's pack and it worked like a charm! I do have some questions though if anyone can answer them to the best of their knowledge.

- Is there any chance of having seperate CSS icons for ZSS, Sheik, & the Pokemon with this?

- What is the filesize limit for the selcharacter.pac? I don't see us getting past 50 characters with around 10 costumes each without the filesize freezing the game, but i'm no expert.

- How do you give one of the clones a boss's soundbank? (like PM does) Is it done through hexing?

- It says this supports up to 100 characters on the roster but we can only get to 50 at the moment, is there any workaround to this?

I won't need 100 characters with 10 costumes each but i just want to get a sense of the limitations of this engine and how far we can push it. Again, thank you so much for this. I never thought a public clone engine would ever make the light of day.

1.just add their id to the css code
pokemons are 1c 1b 1d or somtething like that, look it up on the id's list in dantarions open psa site
or i belief the number with the original fighter config file is the same.
i belief u would also need to include their fighterconfig file in the fighterconfig folder, as well as edit it to include all characters if it hasnt
2.file size limit is 3.858mb
but if u save all ur csp' in cmpr format u can lower the size to 3.25, giving u .6mb of space for more csp's
3.seggy mentioned something a page ago.
4.technically using the alternate code loader code featured in file patch 3.5.3, u could double ur characters
giving u 100 instead of 50.
its a workaround
the more obvious way of doing it s by editing the scselcharacter file and linking new bones to new css icons

ASF also said that there would be more to it then that, something in how the game sets up the css to add a new icon

you can also compress all of the Cosmetic archives inside char_bust_tex_lz77 to extended lz77 compression to save about .20 mb

Thanks for the answers, this may seem confusing to everyone but really though, this is 100 times simpler than i thought the clone engine would ever be.

That is also what I thought like I just read the beginning saying the clone engine was real... yay great something else I will never understand...and now I have a roster with 49 slots!

Cool :D

BTW, what happened to that tutorial ASF1nk mentioned a few days ago that he was going to make for fixing graphical bugs in the rel ports?

Has anyone gotten the CSP stuff to work on actual wii hardware, I've tried everything, my only guess is that maybe I should set the icon picture to something as well. The Character replacing works fine but the CSP stuff crashes. Curiously it also crashes on Pokemon Trainer's Icon when using Don Jon Bravo's Selectchar.pac...

well the tut was going fine then i got a call i didn't like too much, and had to pause the recording for a very short time. i'll upload a better one that includes the info portaits a little later, for now, i put this tut of for like 3 days and im sure some people who aren't afraid of a little swearing and sucky editing will appreciate this.

its rendering now

You're right it wasn't I injected the original one back in lets see if it works... yeah it did! lets try putting Pokemon Trainer's pics over slot 90... nope still can't get extra css stuff to work darn.

BrawlEx CSP's and CSS icons [tutorial]

lol XD

it's actually a lil funny looking back through it hah xD

replace the bx_fighter.rel with one from the newest version of the brawlEx download unless your using a modified/repacked iso and loading it that way. its in core files under modules.

That changed the clone icons to all Marios and it still froze entering the SSS. So I've tried the bx_fighter.rel found in v1.1.2.0, ASF's pack, and the newest version of the brawlEx download and all have frozen. I can usually figure out freezes, but I haven't had much time to look into the Clone Engine yet and just wanted to try it out using a pack, but I can't even get that to work.  :>.>palm:

I'm loading Gecko OS through the stage builder if that info is of use.

IT WORKED IT WORKED HUZZAH HOORAH HOORAY. Thank you soooo much Sammi-Husky I finally got the CSS and CSPs to work thanks to your guide. I think the file size limit was what was biting me so harshly before. Man your guides do wonders. Thanks again~!
