You'll need a hex editing program, like HxD.

Pikazz, what button combination do you use to switch characters?

none cause I cant swap at the beginning sadly D:

but ingame, I put the PSA Command "Ternimate Instance" that allows the switch on Jigglypuffs B-up and Marths Down B

Was away for the weekend. Sorry for the way late reply. I tried both what Segtendo said and what Doqtor Kirby said, but now it freezes at the Strap Loader. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong....

I had this problem a lot. Make sure the hook type is Axnextframe, and another thing that helped was - oddly - including a common5.pac, which completely stopped my strap loader freezes for some reason.

Also, I kept adding cosmetics to my sc_selcharacter to see how far I could exceed the file limit before I started getting freezes from it. (For those who don't know what I'm talking about, I accidentally had an sc_selcharacter over the normal 3.79 limit that didn't freeze)

Anyways, it finally gave me a freeze when I hit 3.98. I don't know why I can suddenly have slightly bigger sc_selcharacters but I'll take it

When I saw this... I instantly knew this would work. I had deleted my common5.pac, I didn't set the hook to AxNextFrame, and for some unknown reason my sc_selcharacter.pac was over 4gb. I can't thank you enough for helping me with this. All of you. I can finally achieve what I wanted to.

Hypothetically, would it be possible to do kirby hats for cloned characters? Can i give kirby a hat, name it the same character name as the folders in fighter, and then associate it with the id of one of a cloned characters? Or is that not even supported by this engine?

[Carnage]

does anyone know which ids i have to change on the effect folders? for example i wanted to change mewtwo effec(graphics) to be waluigi effect folder id so it wouldnt mess with lucario, i just need to know in hex where to change this ids, i would apreciate if anyone knows what are they.

Alright so since this doesn't work on Riivolution, could anyone recommend what I use? Riivo is all I know, I don't even know what the other methods are called.

Gonna need tutorials on how to install them too.

Gecko is what I use, and it's far simpler than Riivo. All you need to do is download it and put its folder in your SD Card in apps/Gecko. You can get it here: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Gecko_OS on the right side of the page.

GCT codes go in DATA/GECKO/CODES. Make sure File Replacement Code 3.5.1b is one of the codes you use.

In private/wii/app/RSBE/pf would be all the typical folders such as fighter, stage, menu2 and all that.

I didn't even know this was possible, so if anyone has a tutorial on how to do it, that would be awesome.

Absolutely. In fact, it would silent freeze if you DIDN'T have the Kirby ability and you go to load Kirby with the clone.

I don't think that's a folder, but try the ID of the clone. Iirc ASF1nk has a tut for separate clone GFX coming, so I'd suggest waiting for that.

Use Gecko OS with File Patch Code 3.5.1b. Also if your Card is more than 2GB, in this board is the SDHC Extension. Check that out too.

nope you cant kirby has psa for his hats which means even if you added the cosmetic hate it would do nothing since there wouldnt be any code to execute inside fitkirby.pac

Oh really? I might go test that. I thought the Kirby attack was in the PAC of the ability.

not really just open it on the psa program and you will see all in there, the pac only has external graphics and kirby hats models

If that's the case then whT would need to be done?

[Sammi Husky]

Well, seems everyones been busy. While working on the workaround code (with no internet), which is realy hard, I seem to have stumbled across a way to have virtually infinite clones....well..virtualy beacause I THINK it would be more then 100...and I can't really put my finger on a limit..

Anyways, you could have as many clones as you can fit in the css code. (Idk if there's a limit to that?)
I'll upload a simple code later for proof of concept hopefully I can make a working engine out of it.

------------------------------
As the For the kirby hats, it would be as simple as adding a new animation and attack to the psa and code it so that it matches the other hats. Wouldn't work with articles without a lot (A LOT) of work.

the waluigi hat came with a kirby fighter folder Fitkirby.pac and the hat itself fitkirbypit.pac they just psaed the codes of the actions on the pit hat but since clones have no actions available to have code you cant just add kirby hats at all, you can replace them like waluigi kirby hat replaced pits one.
