ROM Hack WIP Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Mod's

[weegygreen2]

I got the sd card set up and it works fine loading with the data.arc, until I try after injecting any of the 5 nutexb files that I’m using. They all lock the game at the loading screen after choosing fighters.

It's worth noting since not many read video descriptions, it's just basically enabling existing extra slots and setting existing character ids and some other copied values to those slots. Very far from actual expansion and we could do the same thing in smash 4 which afaik didn't make much progress.

I was trying to get this exact thing to work for hours now. The guy posted the ".prc" files for this mod but the thing is... Does this tutorial work with Prc file as well?
And if it does..
I got the Data.arc file and put it in the correct location and did all of the good steps then I got infinite loading on boot. Which is expected when something goes wrong. I redid the data.arc file and put a blank one on my MicroSD and now it is "sxos/titles/XXXXXX/romfs/dta.arc" And all of that is correct. Tried it again without any mods, just regular vanilla Arc file and bam. did it again.
Something isn't right...
Do I need EVERY SINGLE FILE from Romfs AND Exefs? in Breath of the Wild you only needed the modded file, not every single extracted file.
Anyways, I even tried with all of the files and it did the same thing... Yes I am on 1.0.0 but what about 6.2? I am on that firmware. I doubt that is the problem but it is indeed reading the files just... Breaking it on boot. What exactly is the problem?
So I got the mod location correct, that can't be the problem.

you need to inject it with this script

In case you haven't did it yet. Have you done the compression before injecting your nutexb files?
And also... What version are you on? If you on v.1.0 then you're safe but if you updated the game then your mods won't work

I don't think I've compressed the nutexbs unless Switch toolbox automatically does it for me when importing the replacements. Is there a separate script or program that I need for that?
The game and data.arc are both v1.0

I knew someone would say that... LOL
Again, I tried a VANILLA Data.Arc file without mods and it still crashed so the problem must not be mods...
And to top it off, I know I must use that.
Thank you for your help even if it was not the answer, though.

what program are you using to extract your nutexb?

you probably updated your game, maybe thats the cause

 

[weegygreen2]

what program are you using to extract your nutexb?

ArcCross

 

[hamdan91]

ArcCross

then it should should display the CompSize (compression size)

you must match the compressed size before you inject your nutexb files.
I used zstd to compress my files.
It has to match 100%. 1 byte bigger or smaller than the target size will still trap you at the loading screen

If you need help i'll gladly make a video tutorial

if you want... can you send me your nutexb files? Sorry i don't have time to make a tutorial but i can do the compression for you if you like?

and also it will help if you can give me the details on which character you're modding

The files are the same size i think?

edit: It's for shizue/Isabelle

thats the decompression size. It must match the Compression size

if you're injecting the data.arc without compressing it then it won't work

just send me the files then i'll compressed them for you

alright I see now

edit: they're not done yet, I just wanted to test how they looked in game so far

 

[hamdan91]

also i recommend you to restore your unmodded data.arc file just in case installing your uncompressed file would've messed up a few things

well yeah, even if it's for testing you still have to match the compressed size friend

otherwise it won't work

I know it's an annoying method but it's the only way for now to get your modded textures in the game

Switch Toolbox has built in compression things, those might work?
