Hacking SSBB Texture Swaps

[Raganook]

Lucario is actually being done right now

But not by Ghosteo, by Cryos, who is our assistant artist

 

[Raganook]

Another character done

I'll put up a pic in just a second, there is one tiny glitch...

EDIT: If I can figure this out we will be able to do the super-complicated characters like Toon Link (yes, I said toon link. Believe it or not it's more complicated than the others

), so here goes try #2...

EDIT: Damn. Basically, for whatever reason, the pupils of this character won't show up. I know it's because of the palette, I just don't know how to fix it...

We are hacking the sword for Fierce Deity, Ghosteo just didn't draw it when he made Fierce Deity a week ago

Looks awesome. I am eagerly awaiting this release. Perhaps you could tease us with some of the character changes you have made?

...really....

I must be misunderstand this...you can't possibly mean "character changes" as "visual changes".

The only thing we changed is the costumes. All sounds, moves, taunts, etc. are exactly the same...hence the topic title, "Texture swaps"

Sorry. My choice of words wasn't the best- I did mean visual changes. My wording really meant character changes such as Luigi -> Mr. L. Or Link to FD.

Unfortunately, we have been stuck ALL day on this one glitch I was talking about earlier. Textures that end with +2 require something special, and I've been trying different things since 10:00am this morning (its 6:00pm now).

Just as soon as I figure this out, two more characters are instantly finished

Edit: I'm still trying to figure this stupid thing out but...


...Here is a video of Phazon Suit Samus VS Cloud Strife

I was hoping to see zero suit phazon

. Will the character icons under the percentage display going to be edited to match the characters suit? Either way, it looks great

. Cant wait to download it.

Those icons are compressed unfortunately, and I can't uncompress or recompress them.

But my priority now is figuring out +2 textures. I'm sure it's a problem with the palette file, but we will see...

EDIT: It has now been 10 hours of me trying different things. Three characters are pending my figuring this out. Sorry for the delay everyone...

Hey! You didn't think I'd let you steal all the glory did you?

Anyway, the original topic about this can be found over at smashboards. It will probably answer a lot of the questions you might have.

Also, if you send me some of the .pcs files, I have a capture card and could make a better quality video (we should face each other over wifi). And as I said over there, I need the specifics of the +2 palettes and I'll take a look at them and see if I can find the problem.

 

[Raganook]

Awesome

I never stole your glory

 

[Pharrox]

Alright, I'm looking at the files now. I'll try to get back to you pretty quickly.

 

[zidane_genome]

awesome work guys!!!

only a suggestion... please don't think I'm putting you down, or trying to find fault...

is there a way you can change the player "logo" (at the bottom of the screen, where damage is shown)?

that would make the illusion complete!

(I know you get this alot, but maybe a NO zero suit samus? lol... yes, we're all a huge bunch of pervs!)

 

[Oath]

AND I JUST BEAT CHRONO CROSS TODAY! Surge and Fierce deity look badass! Keep up the total ownage.

Due to the release of an awesome program by Gary, we plan on editting the stock icons, character select portraits and victory portraits.

This means a delay before we release, but a much higher quality release.

 

[Pharrox]

The problem with making custom character portraits however is that it removes the choice of which slot someone can put it in. It definitely make it better quality, but be sure to choose textures that won't be missed too much.

And yes, replacing the character's picture down at the bottom is possible. However if you are referring to the series icon, replacing it will affect everyone from that series.

Yeah, I thought of the whole "gone forever" thing. I just sort of decided I preferred the professional quality over the missing portraits, though ultimately I will include both as options.

 

[pairofdimes]

man I wish I knew how to do this, minus all the hex editing

 

[Raganook]

Dumb idea, never mind

 

[War]

That red Lucario looks pretty damn cool...

 

[webyugioh]

wow, just watched the video and not only did the characters look great but the match was also pretty good.

Spoiler

Even though multiple final smashes by Ike, Samus stills kick ass!

 

[blinktoday]

Do a black pikachu.

 

[CPhantom]

Wow, this is amazing
