Thanks. But when I converted it to PNG (Since its the only way I can view it without error) it gave my the character portraits.

You don't get anything like this?

Well, i got 2 dds files, when they show the paint.net icon on the file, it means it wont open, so I have to convert it to PNG, but i guess the text one above was the other one, on an online converter it gave an error that it couldn't convert. The char portrait did. So that's probably why. How did you get it to work too?
It gave 2 dds and it was chrn, read the reply above this one

I only get one from it, so I'm unsure of the issue on your end.

All I want for smash explorer is the ability tp select multiple files and extract all at once instead of having to select a whole folder and also the ability to have a shortcut to extract, I'm making a mod where all the clone and semi clone characters have alts of their clones like dr. mario will have mario alts but its taking for ever getting all the battle portraits extracted and stock icons ect ect.

Google a program called FreeCommander XE
It has the ability to batch rename files, which would be incredibly useful for what you are doing. I'm using it for my project to add model swaps as an alt for every character. You could get every CSP, stock icon, and BPs renamed in about two minutes.

I do this, take the packed file, put it in D:\0005000010144F00\patch\data\ui\result (I'm using TS4M's modpack so I have most of the directories already) Whenever I boot the game and complete a match, the game get's stuck on the slow-mo section and never loads the results, anything I'm doing wrong?

I already use a batch rename program, it's just the exporting from smash explorer that is slow since it is individual files.

Update: I tried a character skin and it get's stuck on loading the CSS. Seems like any mod I install breaks the game. Help Please. :(

Not quite understanding, so I'm sorry about that.

So, you extract it as normal and get the unviewable DDS, then what do you do from there? Do you convert it to PNG? Do you save it with the alternate format then convert it?

The A8R8G8B8 dds format is what you'll save the final image as. I convert the broken images I extract into PNGs I can edit, which I then take in to Photoshop. The images will still be the wrong color, but just make them look like how you want them to look, save them in the right format and then they'll import just fine. The issue people are having seems to be that the current extraction tools corrupt the file, but the import tool handles them just fine, and that's the more important part.
