Opening a .dat file.

[Ҩᴜᴇᴇɴ]

Okay, seeing as my last post was completely ignored.
How do you open a .dat file?
Someone mentioned opening the ccs.dat to take out characters.

How do you do that?
How do you open it?

I have a specific way I want my Roaster to look.

something along these lines:


Top Row:
Ike: Dante
C. Falcon: Goku.
Lucario: Buu.
Link: Zero.
Marth: Lucina.
Roy: His own Custom File.

Second:
Olimar: Dark Sonic.
JigglyPuff: Knuckles.
ROB: Metal Sonic.
Wario: Shadow.
MetaKnight: Tails.
Mario: Mario.

Third:
ZZS: ZZS.
Toon Link: Vera.
Peach: Rosalina.
Zelda: Zelda.
Sonic: Sonic.
Samus: Samus.

Fourth:
All the same as the portraits show.

If someone can do this for me, or teach me how to do it, so I can stop asking others. I'll be greatful.
I hate asking others for assistance. Annoying enough that no one can rig a model, for me.
Maybe teaching me how to edit my CSS might be easier.

Try Notepad

HxD, a hex editor.

But don't, really, don't mess with this if you don't know what you're doing.

I believe CSSRoster.dat is the file you want to edit?

Well, i don't know what I am doing.
I really don't.

So could someone give me a step by step?
How to open.
What to edit.
How to take css out.
How to make it so there is only a set ammount of charcters in the roaster.
How to make it so it won't freeze.

HxD editor.
Okay, what do I do after that?

Get a clean CSSRoster.dat. Someone from the Brawl Expansion thread can help you get one.

Then get the BrawlExConfigUtility. It can edit the Roster file. You won't need the HxD if you use it.

Just open CSSRoster.dat with BrawlExConfigUtility, and edit the roster to your liking. This will help you organizing the roster any way that you might want, and keep it with as many characters you want too. Just remember to keep "29" in there since it is the Random icon.

Nope... you can open CSSRoster with it. I'm doing so right now.

BrawlExConfigUtility v1.3, just to clarify!

[Ҩᴜᴇᴇɴ]

O... I have the 1.1... That makes sense. Gimmie a second.

Ok, I made my CSSRoster.
What now? Where do I put it?

[Ҩᴜᴇᴇɴ]

-sniffs- I smell BS.

[Ricky (Br3)]

lol, nevermind the spam guy.

The CSSRoster file goes inside the BrawlEx folder in pf.
Just to clarify, are you using BrawlEx?

[Ҩᴜᴇᴇɴ]

I do believe so, yes. And even though I saved it.
I tried opening it and it made it 100 mario's.

Despite it being only 28 characters.

Not sure if that is supposed to happen.

Plus, I think there is supposed to be a CSS Code?

No, no CSS code is needed.

There is a chance you're using an outdated BrawlEx. Did you try your CSS roster and it had 100 Marios?

[Ҩᴜᴇᴇɴ]

I tried opening my new CSSRoster in the Config, to see if it would work.

But showed a bunch of Mario's. :<

Trying it ingame, now... and...
shows all the Characters it had before.

-Yawns-
Basically the entire BrawlMinus cast.
Mario to Roy to Pichu. -sighs-

Can you take a screenshot and show me what does it look like when you open the roster in the utility?
