Hacking SSBB Texture Swaps

[Raganook]

Actually, I just finished Toon Link today

All of them have thought go into them. It's just that some are obviously more challenging than others

But you left out a lot of ones that took quite a bit of work, like Wander, Serge... Though all of our textures are done without a lot of dedication, even if they take ultimately less time. Even ones that seem "simple" like Shadow Mario (who's pupils I've fixed, you guys can stop telling me about them

) in actuality require Ghosteo to do a lot by hand.

Anyways, back to work, make sure you all red the Bold Red announcement on the first post...

Yeah, I edited my post because after re-reading it, it sounded kind of cruel; I don't mean that no thought goes into them. I guess what I meant was, from my point of view (I have no hex-coding experience or texture editing), some characters like let's say Squirtle or Ivysaur look pretty simple, and don't "awe" me. However, it makes sense, because you guys had a whole "Dark Pokemon" set in the works, so naturally, the Pokemon should be mostly all black.

I was looking at the video of Dry Bowser and he looks amazing! It looks just like a Dry Bowser should

This may actually get me to play as Bowser (for once.) Great job! Can't wait for Pika/Lucario/TL!

PS: That red colored Lucario and black pikachu aren't yours, right? Becuase honestly, I didn't really like either one...

This looks awesome, when can we expect a release? =D

 

[Jundeezy]

That Dry Bowser looks so super special freakin' awesome! Same question ^

I'm just GUESSING here, but I don't think we'll see a release for at LEAST another month or two. They don't have all the textures done, and they still have to figure out the +2 palette glitch ( I think). I'm sure they also have a lot of debugging to do, and touching up of character textures too.

Neither are ours.

We will know better in about a week. During the week that Ghosteo was in town we did around 20 textures/70. Now that he's away, that number is only 1/4 as much. +2 Palettes no longer are a concern to me, thanks to both Pharrox and Gary, along with 3 days of no sleep and testing various things.

Touch ups will go fast

. We will of course keep you informed!

_GOOD NEWS_

The super-surprise has arrived, and the hexing has begun > : ). Tomorrow you guys best be prepared for something amazing....

Okay... You should make an RSS feed like Smash Dojo, a little bit better...

Is that all you are going to edit though, just the textures? That's still neat! It would be cool if I knew, so I could replace the stages or stage editor pieces. But I don't...

We have no plans for stages. We are also editing character selection pictures, stock heads, timed portraits, victory portraits, as well as a few "extra" things that won't be disclosed until a MUCH later date.

The stages are okay with me! So I can't wait....
WHY? The suspense!!!!!!!

I'm just asking, I can be paitent =D
But this isnt like a game where if you release something too early it might suck
You just need to have some good looking textures (which you do)

Dry Bowser looks like he came straight from Mario Kart Wii. O_O

Good job, I bet it will replace white Bowser.

I'll be taking a close look at the bbres when I get to work on Monday. In the meantime I'll just batch extract all the pacs from the effects/fighter, and /fighters.
There are a handful of pac files that have no files within them so the ssbextractor chokes.

For anyone else that wants to save some time... Here's the batch file I'm using.
SSBExtract needs better error and file handling I think...

for /R %%I in (*.pac) do mkdir %%~dpI%%~nI
for /R %%I in (*.pac) do SSBExtract %%I

 

[Raganook]

Thanks a whole ton Keshire

EDIT: wtf WOW. so Ghosteo has been HARD at work it seems, as today he finished FOUR textures. Meanwhile, Cryos is nearing completion with THREE textures. It has been a GOOD day. Me? Im still up at 4:00am trying to assemble them all oO. We have everything ranging from fan-favorites to the unexpected, I think you are all in for quite the treat

Also: I am in possession of the Saturday Surprise. It's pretty sick

. I'd give you a hint, but I want it to remain a big deal. There may even be a game mechanic that goes along with it....

 

[rizzod]

dude u guys should come up with ur own title too like 'Homebrew Smash bros Brawl'

..... not a suggestion just a thought.

 

[Raganook]

Well...its 9:00am, and I never went to sleep oO. I've been working tirelessly (literally) to make sure the super-secret texture for today works. It had an incredibly troublesome +2 texture. I will soon find out if I put it in it's place

That aside, Ghosteo did a fantastic job with this one. So long as this test of it works out, expect to see the secret surprise texture at a secret undisclosed time (so afternoonish

)

I'll keep everyone informed!

 

[Killer Phantom]

Good job soldier. XD

Now a little question...is it too complicated to change PT's model completely? To FR/LG girl?

Just curious.

 

[Trolly]

Wow, those all look awesome, shame I don't have a modchip. Is it possible in any way to do this without a modchip, or am I just clutching at straws now?
Fierce Deity Link and Phazon Suit Samus look absolutely stunning, and Mysterious Mr. L looks really funny. Good luck guys.

oh, snap... got a very good question...

Will this work with US/EU verisons of Brawl, since your using this on a J version, will it require any extra hacking/hexing?

Just a thought...

Short answer: Yes



Long answer: Yes, it will work with the US/EU versions.
