Hacking [Discussion] Smash WiiU Modding and Help Center

[Motobug]

Every single guide is just for TS4M's mod pack, there's no guide online for any other mods. What am I supposed to do? I've tried everything I can think of, and nothing's working. My mods don't appear at all and the game is untouched. TS4M's mods are easy to install, it's just drag-and-drop, but with other ones I can't seem to get them working at all.

You need Sm4shExplorer to inject mods. https://gbatemp.net/threads/sm4shexplorer-wii-u-only-for-now.416118/

Xamp seems to be inconsistent.

Try loadiine.ovh on your Wii U console and activate the exploit from there.

How do I do that? is there a guide or am I suppose to get that one file from the loadiine download

Just visit loadiine.ovh on your Wii U and it should be self explanatory from there.

Didn't realize it was on the browser, whoops. Yeah it worked, thanks

you have to drag and drop them into smash explorer and rebuild the patch/mod

Hello, I discovered a Smash 64 hitstun mod. Apparently this file appears to be the same on both the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game.


Is someone able to test this? Is there a way I can use this through SDCaffeine without needing to have a dump of the game?

 

[Pikachuk]

i'd like to modify the CSP but when i import a CSP in gimp i've only a transparent pic...

That's a 3DS mod though.

 

[Slashie]

True, but the file is apparently in the Wii U version and is the same size.

 

[Blazingflare]

That's a 3DS mod though.

The whole mod is just a single parameter file and many parameter files are identical between the 3DS and Wii U.
Edit: Comparing the modded file to the vanilla Wii U one, they are completely identical in content. It should work just fine in Smash WiiU

Do I need a dump of the game to apply it? I'm still very confused how SDCaffeine is different from Riivolution.

Yes. Only music and Movie mods don't need a game dump. Everything else does.

Gimp isn't very good. Use Paint.NET, it's free, too, and it can open .dds files. Though it has its own problems. Texture files with sub-level alpha maps (like Lucario's) don't load properly, but I suppose it's better than nothing.

One way or another, if people are serious about modding they should get the proper tools, and that mean at the very least Photoshop.

If people are curious, my personal workflow uses Photoshop CS6, Paint.NET, Manga Studio EX, Honeyview, 3DS Max and Autodesk Maya. All that to make a single mod.

to export to the proper format with paint.net, what i'll must choose ?

CSP icons are DXT5. Make sure you uncheck generate mipmaps, as it will make the file too large and crash the Wii U. If the new file is the same size as the one you extracted, you did it right.

Does anyone have a Melee Arranged CSS Mod? I saw it on Gamebanana but they seem to have taken it down

icons ? But i'd like to modify the slot images (of the selected character portrait and the battle portrait

Right, that's what I meant. The palette swap images.

Battle portraits are saved differently, they need to be saved in A8R8G8B8 dds format.

Anyone know how to change the character's name here? I can't find it in melee.mbst or menu.msbt
