Smash Wii U Research and Development Thread (Testing possible! Coders needed!)

[Soneek]

It's possible to manually install updates. I'm on 5.3.2 and able to install updates, and also purchase DLC from the eShop. I'd block stuff now to be safe, and we'll have workarounds later.

[ItalianStallion]

Where exactly on the settings do you go to block automatic updates and should it be for Smash Bros or the whole Wii U itself?

[KingJigglypuff]

It's Automatic Software Download under Internet Settings, right?

Yeah. Unfortunately, this does not prevent system updates from downloading, only game updates. That's why we need the DNS blocking. :/

As long as we have the latest firmware version (or spoof it), we can use Nintendo Network. I'm able to still go online with my 5.3.2 console since it's spoofing, but the online only works without loading mods. Still, it's great news for anyone still wanting to get the most out of their system.

How's the DNS blocking done? Or is that not public either?

^ That's the method I use.

I'll personally wait until there's an exploit that works with the latest update. As much as I would want to be able to use the mods myself, I don't really have an urge to do so at the moment. Just enjoying the game and using it to come up with ideas for mods.

Thanks for the info anyways, I really appreciate that you put all of it up

I'd be cautious just in case there happens to be a new system update before the 5.5.0 exploit is fully functional. There's been research on 5.4.0 for almost 6 months now, and that extended into 5.5.0 since the system didn't change too much. I'm not sure how long it would take if 5.6 or 5.5.2 shows up for an exploit to be finished.

Probably because it's nowhere near done? .-.

Excited to get this installed soon then. I'm on 5.5 and would be nice to get pira--*gag, cough* er I mean, mod Smash.

... ok yes, be nice to have pirated stuff too... I am a poor gal T~T

Did anyone figure out the Stage lighting light.bin formats in Smash Wii U?

the latest exploit works with the latest update 1.1.3
if you are on 5.5 everyone is suggesting to block updates asap
google tubehax tutorial for an easier dns blocking method


there are zero guarantees hacks will work on 5.5.6
if you block updates you can still play online
using open dns you cannot access eshop
not sure about tubehax though.
but like soneek said
if u really need eshop access, make sure there is no legit nintendo updates before changing your dns

hacks should be available before the end of the year for every firmware below and including 5.5.5
there are already codes out, and couple of good ones too I may say.

[Ӄit ßallarɖ]

Didn't even know there's a "5.5.5". I'm still on 5.5.0

While I am interested in Sm4sh... I hate to admit that I'm also interested in the piracy side of things =\ There has been many cases where I have bought the game afterwards but with myself being locked out of a job, could help me test the waters even better before going for that copy.. Running out of games to trade in T~T

[Soneek]

I'm just copypasting what I put in a Facepunch thread.

Hi all. I'm having trouble getting the game to load a character texture mod properly. I've replaced the classic and all-star clear textures fine, so the file replacing isn't the real issue. There's another texture for the fighters that I'm unsure what it is, but I think it's preventing the edits from loading as intended.



^ What I'm attempting.



^ What seems to be the key to fixing this. I'm ignorant when it comes to modeling and textures, but if anyone can help shed light on this, I'd be grateful. The texture edits end up underneath the other layer of the model for some reason without modifying this above map or whatever.

[Ricky (Br3)]

Isn't that the normal map? Don't quote me on that, I'm also a noob when it comes to 3D modeling/texturing.
