Well, I just started getting into Brawl modding literally three days ago from the time of this post.
In this time, I've spent hours watching and reading tutorial videos.
To start, I HAVE done model/texture replacements, and I know how to change CSP's and BP's and such using Wiiscrubber and BrawlBox. I followed a very handy tutorial video and used their example file to figure this out. However, I cannot find any clear and mildly simplistic tutorials on how to do certain actions.
Mind you, I am running this on Dolphin Emulator, as my Wii no longer functions, and I know how to boot Gecko OS, I just haven't gotten anything to work with Gecko.
The things I'm looking to do are:
1. How to ADD NEW skin slots and CSP's, instead of just replacing them. I have Brawl Box and Wiiscrubber, is that all I need to do this? Will I need Gecko to use them, or can I directly mod the ISO as I did to get the skin and CSP?
2. Add completely NEW characters. I understand this is possible, albeit with the clone generator. I do have BrawlEx, and I believe all of its related tools, I just don't understand how to use them. In particular, I was interested in adding Cloud as a test, and I haven't gotten it to work yet. I'll link the exact file if need be. They're called PSA's, if what I've read is true. What tools will I need to semi-easily do this? Will this also require Gecko, or can I just directly mod the ISO? I know almost nothing about this, so treat me like an idiot when it comes to this.
3. Add completely new stages. I think I understand how to replace them, but I'd like to know how to add more. Assume I'm stupid on this topic too.
I don't expect anyone to sit down with me and explain everything, but if someone could point me to some tutorials for these things please do. I've read the tutorials "For Noobs" on these threads, and they didn't help much.
To recap, I have BrawlEx, BrawlBox, WiiScrubber, an SDcard maker, Gecko, BrawlBuilder, and as many ISO's of brawl as I need. You can reach me at my email if you don't want to deal with the thread reply stuff.
All I want are pointers to tutorials to help me, or direct help if someone is willing. Once I get the information, I'd like to help others who need it as well.
On another side note, I'm not interested in downloading a pack (such as PM or Infinite) as these tutorials are everywhere. I like Brawl's balancing and such as it is, I'd just like to edit the characters and stages, and maybe add a handful of new characters.
Thanks in advance, and sorry this post is so long. I'm not used to thread boards like this
