Help1 Game Crashes when I change any portraits!

[Aron]

So I'm not sure if this is where I post this but there's a problem I'm having. When ever I change any of the characters portraits, the game crashes on the CSS. Did I do something wrong? (I'm on dolphin, i don't have a Wii)

So the answer to that would be no. However, I will still try to help despite that it's in the wrong section, and I would suggest that you simply move this thread to the appropriate section.

What are the dimensions of the new portraits that you were using, were they CSPs, CSS icons, BPs, or another kind of portrait, did you use BrawlBox to replace the portraits, and how did you apply the new portrait(s) to Dolphin? Did you use use Wii Scrubber? A virtual SD card?

I'm not sure what the dimensions are. They were CSPs and CSS icons. I used BrawlBox and I used WiiScrubber

If you open up the common5 in BrawlBox, and go to the portraits, the right panel should have the following rows:

Width
Height
Format
LevelOfDetail
HasPalette
OriginalPath
User Data
UserEntries

Across from Width and Height, you'll want specific numbers; for example, CSPs would need 128 for the Width and 160 for the Height.

so I went ahead and checked and the images I wanna use are the right size you said. So that's not the problem

Would you mind uploading or emailing me the .pac and/or brres files, so I can take a look at them?

I did'nt use any brres files, I just tried to put these files through the common5.pac file

Actually , The battle portraits (the one in game) dont crash the game but changing stuff like the CSS icon, the Series icon and CSPs will cause it to crash

I just tested both of those images in Dolphin, and it worked fine. Although, they don't have Alpha, and need that, or else the background will be white instead of the player slot color. Would you please upload your common5, so that I can narrow down further what the cause is?

I meant with the portraits in it. That's just the regular Brawl common5. I need your custom one that you put the CSPs, CSS icons, etc. in.

So, I just tested that in Dolphin on my end, and it worked perfectly fine, meaning, that you must have done something incorrect about using them with Dolphin. Might I ask how you used them in Dolphin? Like, for example, did you use Wii Scrubber, and if so, did you "Replace" the common5_en.pac in the "system" folder of the Data Partition 2 to use it?

yes, that is what I did

[windhunter7]

Well, you must have done something else, in addition, then, because I just did that, and it worked 100% glitch-and-freeze-free fine. Are you sure you didn't "Scrub" it or anything? Because if you do that, it will probably screw something up.

I don't think I scrubbed anything
