The Brawl Expansion Project

[Nebulon]

Been trying to figure this out, too...
Doubt I'll figure it out, but if I do I'll let you know.

I see. I take it it's not as easy as editing the FF in Wario's CSSslotconfig to 2D and arranging the order of the team colors in the same way? OR have you not tried that?

If I have tried it then I've forgotten...

Didn't work for me :/ Oh well...

Okay, so I'm helping on a project that is trying to put two characters on one icon. So far it's a success.

i've been trying to get this to work for a couple days now, mind explaining how you pulled it off? If you consider it a secret/an important part of your project that you'd rather not reveal just yet, i understand.

Is the two characters sharing the same spot in the css like Zelda/Sheik or is it like Wario Where you have the standard costume colors then have the alternate costume colors?

So i tried replacing the B- CSS codes to use the roster.dat i finally got everyone added and went to test it. now it gives me the brawl minus textures but the normall CSS layout. any ideas how to fix it?

You'll have to setup your CSSRoster.dat file to be in the same order as the ID's in the CSS code. Me and our old GCT coder organized them by franchise iirc. However, that was quite some time ago...anyways...if your just talking about the order, than yea that would be it. You can re-organize them in PW's config utility

Well i did that, i have all the characters listed, it just doesn't change anything.  i have them all set up like this in the roster (in this order, mostly a test so don't expect it to be "clean and organised" lol

basically i just loosely grouped them in order. did the same thing in random. i'll probably reconfigure it after i get it working with a better format for order. as you can see i have all the  characters used listed, clones and all, but they don't show up. is there anything inparticular i'll have to delete in the minus GCT? i know the CSS code had to go, what about CSS fixes for zerousuit/samus, shiek/zelda?

LA-Bit[54] is where the current costume ID is stored.
So for example, say if you wanted to combine Mario and Dr Mario.
Mario is slots 0-3, Dr is slots 4 - 7
For their B attack, Mario shoots fireballs while Dr shoots pills.
So where the graphic is loaded on the article, you'd say for example:
*If LA-Bit[54] <= 3
*Load FireBall Graphic
*Else
*Load Pill Graphic
It's time consuming, and there's the matter of file size, as adding new hitboxes for different damages will add extra space, but for some characters (especially Marth, since he has plenty of room), this isn't really a problem.

Here is a great page that lists most of the variables that brawl uses:

To use brawlex with riivo you need the proper xml. Might as well use gecko my friend.

Where us the Riivo XML then or what edits do I make to my XML to make it work? I don't want to use Gecko, which doesn't work for me anymore. I just get a black screen and Gecko never loads.

make sure gecko is set to  the hook "axnextframe" this project is no longer supporting riivo i don't think. i personally use cfg loader, as my wii won't play discs anymore so i know this works on loaders. it seems to have quite a few hang ups from time to time tho (sometimes seems like i have to restart it 2-3 times its usually fine after the strap menu)

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

also still having this issue ^

You should remove anything CSS related from the GCT. However, if your having the CSSRoster.dat read by the game and it's still a vBrawl layout, it's likely that the CSS expansion isn't correctly installed. Remember you need to have all the core files from it. (including common3.pac, replacing ours.) If all that is done, than im sorry but there isn't much i can do to help :/

Oooh, ok, that should help me quite a bit, thanks.

Also, i've ran into an issue where any fighters with IDs 67+ will only load the css icon/name of fighter 65, yet they will load the correct cosmetics for everything else. Is there a way to fix this? (Im using the unstable build)

[Julum]

Okay, so I loaded it with Gecko with the hook type set to AXNextFrame, but the character roster is the same. Is the gct that comes with Nebulon's pack missing a CSS expansion code? EDIT: I think the problem is because before the game loads, Gecko says something like "Error: Too many codes 623 Lines Found 424 Allowed"

wait a minute... B- didn't ahve the core files installed? xD thats not a hard fix tbh in pw's kit he gives the misc data for it, i'll just have to add it to the common 2, 3, and 5 i believe if i remember right. i assumed it was already set up since they used it for roy and pichu. i'll try adding each of the core componants and see what happens. ty ^^

thats easy to fix, open up a blank notepad on the comp. and copy the following text in it

Code Select Expand

RSB?01:
codeliststart = 80570000
codelistend = 80580000
hooktype = 7
poke(800042B8, 60000000)
pokeifequal(803E9930, 4BFECA1D, 803E9930, 60000000)
pokeifequal(803E99A8, 4BFECA1D, 803E99A8, 60000000)
pokeifequal(803E9D5C, 4BFECA1D, 803E9D5C, 60000000)

save it as game config.txt, and drop it into the root directory of the sd card.

also sammi thanks a lot! i managed to fix it. i'm having other issues now, i think its an error on my part tho. i have 2 rob clones side by side in the menu but only one is selectable. (actually one should have been a link Dx, gonna check the config files.)
