Hacking SSBB Texture Swaps

Oh god, it's fat! XD It's still neat, only if you could edit the model to be skinnier.

Yeah, as you know we can't

. But hey, perhaps he was just....really hungry oO...

 

[alex]

XD, Yup, REALLY hungry! I'm fine with him! I just wish there was a way to play without a modchip. I don't know how to solder, and I'm not risking it!

OHHH MAN! PLUSIL IS OBESE! Still kicks teh ass though!

OHHH MAN! PLUSIL IS OBESE! Still kicks teh ass though!

I'm pretty sure if you checked the newest pokedex, you would find out that Plusle LOVES chocolate

Who doesn't like chocolate?

 

[Cryos]

Who doesn't like chocolate?

I know ONE person who doesn't like chocolate.

25% chance to guess who, winner gets nothing.

 

[alex]

I won't guess then, but I remember Kyou from Fruits Basket wouldn't eat the chocolate...
Umm... a dog? XP

YES REALLY DID FIND IT!!

It's in Common-> Char_bust_tex

Each Character is seperate, and theres more than the regular array of characters, so my guess is that the seperate characters in one character (ex Charizard, Ivysaur, Squirtle)

As I stated in my first post, those are Victory portraits. Please read the first post carefully

But, again, thanks for all the help

Sorry for kinda disappearing lately. I was hospitalized for a few days and I just now got out.

The good news is that I now have a few days of free time. I'll start looking for the character selection textures tonight. Also, I've semi disassembled the main.dol. So there might be a few interesting things there. Not that I'm really good with that kinda stuff. Glad to see you got the alpha values working.

Love all your textures so far, can't wait to see more. Also, I'm looking into the posibility of using Gecko to do a few new things related to this.

 

[Phreeq]

Agh, i think i'm going insane! Those have got to be it, the victory portraits are cut off in the middle, where as these ones go down more like when you're selecting characters. Oii, well, I'm gonna keep looking, I've found soo much.

Pharrox! You were missed

Your thread in SmashBoards is...uuuh flooded...but I'm sorry to hear you were hospitalized! Feel better man =/

Thanks for looking! It's been driving me *crazy*. I hope you find them =/. I posted the two things it is *not* in the front post. And let me know about what you discover with the Gecko. I'm especially curious if textures can be inserted via Gecko, because then we could (in theory) make a gigantic cheat code

They aren't. I know for a fact. But thanks for looking.

Well everyone I'm going to sleep. I've decided today is officially get-more-than-3-hours-of-sleep day. Tomorrow's character is uuh...well you should be able to guess

...but stay tuned for the hint that goes with it, you are all in for a HUGE release week.

That's why it's probably best to batch extract all the pac/brres, and then batch convert all the tpl's. That way you can just do a windows search for tga/png and view all the thumbnails. Then you should quickly find what your looking for.

for /R %%I in (*.pac) do mkdir "%%~nI"
for /R %%I in (*.pac) do SSBExtract "%%I" >> pac.txt
for /R %%I in (*.brres) do SSBExtract "%%I" >> brres.txt

for /R %%a in (*.tpl) DO tplconv "%%a" >> tpl.txt

run that in a .bat file and it'll recursively go through and create a folder that ssbextract needs and then run ssbextract.

for the brres you may need to go through and create the (nw4r) folders beforehand. Just use the same method.

 

[Pharrox]

Thanks

Heh, I'm pretty sure I found 'em. You're not gonna like it though:

RSBE01/menu2/sc_selcharacter_en.pac/002.brres

The .pac is lz77 compressed and so are the .bin files inside the .pac. It's crazy. They look like exactly the same files as the .BINs in the other pac though, so if you already made them you won't have to do it again.

In addition, the difference is by 8 freaking lines. But I really am not sure why this is. I literally had to replace like 5 lines of code with "00000000000000000". Unfortunately, even if this IS the character selection portion of the file, it does me no good if I can't compress things to fit back in.

I don't know if I've said this enough yet, but...you, my, friend, are the man

Yeah, I saw the Smashboards topic. Currently they're discussing which characters need to have gay costumes...

Thanks a lot!

I've been using this code, originally by Wolf Pup for TPLx:

for %%a in (*.tpl) DO (
tplx %%a
mkdir %%~na
move tex*.tga %%~na\.
)

It will make directories named for the .tpl files then copy the extracted .tga files into the right directory. I don't suppose there is a way to do that for .brres files? Something like changing the last line to "move "*(NW4R)" %%~na\."? I know my example won't work, but just asking.

>>>>Uggggh...that .pac is so big notepad is taking FOREVER to load it, and I need to delete those extra lines ;(

For some reason wordpad loads those files a lot faster than notepad. Easier for removing the lines too

Hmm. Could you send me the images you are trying to insert? I want to mess around with this and try to figure it out, but with the whole lz77 inside lz77 thing, if I'm going to look at it I'd like to actually be doing something productive while I do.

Sure. I'll send it all off to you, and then I'm going to sleep. Be sure to email me with the results, as it will be the first thing I check when I wake up

Im emailing it now...

Edit: You've got mail!
