Hi there, I'm having a problem where I can't drag any downloaded texture mod anywhere onto Sm4sh Explorer. I've tried dragging it onto the folder (fighter->char->model->body->cXX), on the space around the folder. and have tried dragging the individual files onto Sm4sh Explorer as well. I get a circle with a line through it and am not able to do anything at all.
Edit: This is what I see when I first open Sm4sh Explorer with my dump. It doesn't state any game info at all. Is that normal?

The meta.xml comes with the patch, if you download the patch, you have the meta.xml.

Im not exactly sure what's wrong with drag and drop in your case, but if it doesnt work, you can also move the mods directly within the workspace folder and then refresh with sm4shexplorer, it does the same thing.

Alright, I've figured out what the problem is now! I moved the Sm4sh Explorer folder to a higher folder level(?), moved it to the desktop, and now it will let me drag and drop files into it. I've run into another problem now though: When I load the newly built files onto my SD card, I can get TS4M mods to work, but when I load my new skin, it crashes when it tries to load the game. In TS4M patch folder and in C:\Smash\vol\content\patch, there's no meta folder or meta.xml. Am I just not supposed to see the file at all?

For more info, when I build the mods and go to extract, there's the folders and files that are changed that I'm going to throw on my SD card. The 9 files that go in patch (resource files) come out smaller than what is packed into TS4M modpack. If I throw those files onto my SD card, the game goes into a boot loop. If I exclude those files and just include cXX folders, I can get to the game but not start a Smash game at all.

I'm having a problem. Im at the limit of how much my pc can hold and its saying im missing an ls folder along with the not missing meta.xml and other files. What am I doing wrong.
1. Download the latest patch via UWizard. Make sure to click "Decrypt Contents" before you extract.
2. (Recommended) Copy the patch folder (latest is 224) over to another folder. That patch folder contains the code, content, and meta folders.
3. Copy the two archive files (should total under 6GB) and the ls file to the content folder.
4. In Sm4shExplorer, when you open it, click the folder that contains the three mentioned folder.
5. Sm4shExplorer should open successful if it say "Project Created!"

So NEW-NUSGRABBERGUI doesnt work with it? I decrypted the contents with nusgrabber and i have the content meta and other folders.

Hopefully my computer can hold the 6 gb of storage space needed

I've never messed around a lot with NUSGrabber. I'm used to UWizard. If you can get the code, content, and meta folders with NUSGrabber, then that's fine. Whatever works.

I was able to make an UNDUB tutorial with this... however...
It keeps saying some file extensions are unsupported.

Like the files for the Wii Fit stage sounds.

And assist trophies.

And Pokemon.

Is there a way to rebuild the resource file with those files without file extensions?
