BrawlBox v0.78

[vanhuynh16]

OMG I got it Blackjax!! I replaced MISCDATA[9], MISCDATA[10] in common3.pac with the Korean one, and it worked! Apparently I read that 9 and 10 are font_latin1.arc, font_latin12.arc. But would you know how to change the text size though? It seems a bit small though. Would I have to add something to the msbin file? like <size=???> etc?

Honestly, I prefer how entries are listed in BJ's STPM editor than in Bero's STDT one. It would be cool if you could use the STPM menu for the STDT instead.

I don't think I can do it the way he did it for STPM, since STDT has a variable number of entries in it. Also, some are floats and some are integers, and the program doesn't know which is which. But hopefully I'll figure out a way you can edit both that's not too complicated.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's the right tag.
So it works now? Cool beans.

BlackJax, can you please give a couple more people commit access to the brawlbox project so we can continue making releases and code commits through google code?

Yeah. Anybody who wants to commit changes should pm me their email and I'll add them.

Icon isn&#039;t that great, but better then a question mark

Here's a template for the original icon style:

Sweet! For STDT, I&#039;m probably gonna try Bero&#039;s code that BJ posted the link to, and if that works well enough I&#039;ll get rid of mine.

Even though displaying a raw array to the user is quick and easy and SEEMS like the best solution, it's not intuitive at all for the user. You always want to be able to name raw values so I avoided doing it. Use the moveset attribute editor, at least, and let the community name the values. You'll have to set up a naming system for text files.

Kinda? When I try to change the size, it just makes it blank instead. So I'm not sure what to do from there.

But how does BrawlBox know whether to interpret a value as integer or floating-point? I can't go by the size of the STDT data, because a few stages (i.e. 75m and Luigi's Mansion) have the same size STDT but use different interpretations.

But moveset stuff is best saved for BJ's cancelled Ikarus.

I actually am already working on Ikarus. Just sent a pull request to LibertyErnie to allow selecting JUST the character folder, rather then the whole root of ALL brawl files. So expect to see that improved as well as BBox stuff

Well the attribute grid does have an if statement that guesses int or float, but for values like 0 and some really big integers, there's no way to know for sure. What I did for moveset files was I had it use that if there were no text files that explicitly stated int or float for the current value.

Basically either the user tells BB float or int using the text files or it guesses.

Alternatively, you could hardcode structs for each stage and use them as a direct property interface. I don't think I would do that though, as there are quite a few stages and most of the values are unknown or need a long description.

There should be a separate button under file->open to open just a character folder. In fact, I was planning to add buttons to be able to open any file separately.

The reason I completed opening the root first was because it was faster to just open an SD card root and switch the character for testing and I wanted to emulate the game
BB v0.68 and PSA can already edit pretty well.

Nice to see interest in continuing Ikarus though. It has a lot of potential, if somebody can get a proper moveset rebuilder written.

Sweet. Which file is the attribute grid in?

EDIT: Never mind, found it. It's in the ikarus project.

Yay. \o0o/

I wish the model viewer can view vertex colors.

Hey. This version of BrawlBox keeps messing up the .msbin for the songs.

Anytime I edit it even slightly and then save, it becomes corrupt no matter what happens. Even if I export it out and edit it on it's own, it ends up as corrupted whenever it saves. This didn't happen with the previous versions.

What gives? I'm not the only one having this issue, right?

Can you send me the file that gets corrupted, but before the program corrupts it?

EDIT: nvm, found one I can use to test.

The program used for MKWii tracks can. I wonder if there's any documentation anywhere that could be used to port that into Brawlbox.

Hey, im just trying to throw something out, but can you guys use the existing BrawlCode progress so we don't end up splitting BrawlBox's development history yet again?

Do you mean the google code project? Im up for it, i've never really used google code before though..But in order for BBox to not end up forking off into separate dev trees LibertyErnie would need to use google code as well and we would need BJ to give us commit privileges.

In the long run it may be better to just switch to git altogether since in my opinion its a bit more contributor friendly, but that's really just me. I'll go wherever the code goes lol
