ROM Hack [Release] Sm4shCommand

[Sammi Husky]

Zlib compression, the compressed data is padded using CC bytes. The header starts with 0x789c. The level of compression used is level 6, in case you'd like to recompress as close to original as possible. But im pretty sure the game supports all compression levels since it just uses the standard zlib library

You know, I've heard a lot of ZLIB but never actually tried it out or used it. Thanks for the answer, though.

Yeah my bad, ZIP was probably the wrong wording.

 

[darklordrs]

Having looked up zlib for all of four minutes - which obviously makes me super knowledgable on the subject, amirite guys? - shouldn't knowing what it's compressed in make making a repacker far easier than it seems to have been? Am I just missing something here?

is the LS compressed in the same format?

 

[Godkarmachine]

From what I gather with LS, that's also compressed and only contains the offsets or something? lsdt only used hashes and thus jumbled up all the data; I have no idea what DTLSExtractor does. Maybe husky can shed some light on LS.

This stuff has NEVER work for me. Can someone upload all the character files to mediafire? Also is it possible to edit character images yet?

A. Welcome to GBAtemp! I'd say that to Godkarmachine too but he seems knowledgable.

B. Ouch.

C. Nnnnnope. Doesn't that count as requesting warez??

D. Possibly. I've yet to check.

oh okay):

What exactly is 'this stuff'? The programs? Which?

 

[Octoling]

Everything, the dtls and the python code both do not work for me

Just to make sure - how exactly are you 'using' them? If you're not using them right, you're not going to be able to patch anything back into the game anyway, so it's kinda useless to give you the files for the characters to begin with.

 

[Octoling]

I dragged the files into the program and nothing happens, when I launch dtls.exe it just shows up for a few frames then dissappears

 

[Godkarmachine]

...You run it from commandline.
The method is DTLSExtractor.exe (path to dt file) (path to ls file)
A folder called "data" should appear.

 

[Octoling]

What is commandline?

Sorry for being a noob but I tried everything and nothing works out

 

[Godkarmachine]

You
You use Windows Explorer. If you're running Windows 10 (like me), you go to File>Open Command Prompt.
and then you use that.
This is literally what you do, so you understand:

Spoiler

 

[Trinitro21]

Hold shift, right click on the folder DTLS.exe is in and select "Open command window here."

 

[Octoling]

Thanks Does anyone know how to get the python files to work, when ever I drag and drop dt/ls in the file it does nothing

 

[Trinitro21]

You need to open them from command line too.

 

[Octoling]

ah okay

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Welp, It failed for me and it gave me a blank log file then said dtls.exe stopped working

@shinyquagsire23 How do you unpack update files thats in a .CIA format? I was given the update file in a cia format, but tools I have won't work for it. It's the 1.1.3 smash3ds update file btw.
