I have literally no idea what you just said, any guide on this? I use Photoshop CS2 so yeah i hope you can explain it a bit better x.x How are the textures anyway?

There are two different kinds of textures, which are the normal textures, and the indexed textures.

Normal textures have the file names, tex#00_00, tex#00_01, tex#00_02, tex#00_03, tex#00_04, tex#00_05, tex#00_06, and tex#00_14.

Indexed textures have the file names, tex#00_08+0, tex#00_08+1, tex#00_08+2, tex#00_09+0, tex#00_09+1, and tex#00_09+2.

To give the indexed textures an indexed palette with Photoshop, go to Image > Mode > Indexed Color.... From there, choose Local (Perceptual), and set the number of colors that the texture will use. Remember that the texture must not have more colors than what its palette has.

On a side note, TarGA Images (.tga) lose their Alpha Channel when indexed. Therefore, you need to fill the transparent areas with perfect magenta (#ff00ff) when using ASH to create your textures.

You need to use Photoshop when indexing most textures. Also, if you didn't edit any of the indexed textures, just input n to ignore them. Additionally, the indexed textures must not use more colors than the set palette; all of DK's indexed textures use 256 colors, which puts that problem behind.

Some people may still be using an older version of ASH. The latest version (v2.3) works better than the older versions.

i am using photoshop but im still getting the errors im only recoloring so i dont think that im going over the color limit but im using ash v2.2 so ill see if i can find the next one

Sph34r · Oct 21, 2009

Yes, I fail at textures, but I'm sure this isn't right:

I used stash to change the color of "043GrdSamus1Water" in Brinstar to green rather then the default yellow using PS, then saved it. When I went to step2create, it didn't ask me anything about it, as if I hadn't edited it. Then it goes on to ask about a whole bunch of other files, and I say "n" to all of them. It then goes on to add the normal textures, and then says: "file too big".

Wtf? (that's ALL I did, nothing else)

luigiman1928 · Oct 22, 2009

Ok i made SOnics eye color, not the pupil but his white eye color green. But when i play as him in brawl it comes out Greyish-Black. Why does it do that, and how can i fix?

Sonic's eye base texture part only accepts grayscale colors. You need to edit Sonic's eye iris AND Final Smash eye by filling the transparent backgrounds with the eye base color that you want.

Cool

Zee-V70 · Oct 25, 2009

Could I get some help? I'm trying to give some characters textures--I have everything in the right places, I have the proper codes, but either one of two things happens:
a) The textures don't show up, or
b) It freezes when you try to go to something that involves using characters (e.g. Brawl, Training, etc.)
I additionally have some of the music on it changed, but I don't see any reason as to why this would interfere.

rPSIvysaur · Oct 25, 2009

Check your codes, check your textures and make sure that none of them are corrupted

Sharkz · Oct 25, 2009

When I download textures from the donkeydas site, it freezes my game when I try to choose the alt. costume I dled. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? (It usually does it fine on other sites)

Well I dled "the traveler" pit costume. I renamed it FitPit02.pcs but when I try it on SSBB it freezes. (others on DD do it as well)

Alphatron · Oct 25, 2009

That "Hi, I'm Daisy!" strap loader a few pages back doesn't work even if you rename it to StrapEn.pac. The file is also 64 kb for whatever reason.

You waited after one post to quote yourself? Patience.

I can't imagine a reason why textures from just one site don't work unless the files are corrupted or you're doing it wrong.

Sorry, I've just been stressed lately w/ a lot of homework. Probably why I'm impatient

.
Could someone check if they can do it now? If it does work, could you give me a step-by-step of how you did it?

Ayen · Oct 27, 2009

Someone can send me the Final Destination texture " Final Frontier " by Fit Artifex.

Pretty sure they come in .rar files. Did you extract the files inside?

Sharkz · Oct 27, 2009

Lolz, that's probably the problem. Lemme check.

Hi, I'm Oni Kage from Br4wl Breakers. I was wondering if you could change the link in the OP to our new site. thanks. http://br4wlbreakers.wordpress.com/

I know that there's at least a few people who wanted this, so here it is. A "patch" for the Ice Climbers so that they can have separate face textures!

I made this patch a few days ago (after Kryal released BrawlBox 0.58b), and I wanted to "fix" Dhragen's Ice Mages skin, since I wasn't too happy with the way it looked beforehand with White Mage Nana's face matching Black Mage Popo's. (Anyone who's played the first Final Fantasy would know that only the Black Mage has that face. Not the White Mage.)

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?nnattglkmdq

This ZIP file has the modified MDL0 files for Popo and Nana, but you'll have to use the new eye textures with them (which are doubled-up horizontally now, so that Popo uses the left half and Nana uses the right half). It also contains the modified version of Dhragen's Ice Mages skin, as seen in the screenshots above. (I hope he doesn't mind me including it.)

Broken Texture

Meh, I have nobody else to turn to. People who visit ESH are useless and haven't been able to help at all. So, I'm going to ask all of you guys for a favor. I have a stage that I made on Castle Siege. It looks fine when editing, but upon loading it into the game, some of the textures become distorted. I've tried several things, and nothing seems to be working. Can anyone analyze this and fix the problem? I'll post a link to the pictures below and a download for the PAC files. If anyone can do this for me, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Ahh, very nice, now THAT is more like it... Though, Melee was fortunate enough to not have the ~~sexist~~ face sharing, so the idea has already been executed.
Still. Very nice. What are the chances of seeing Dhragen's Masked Man have two sides of a face instead of sharing half of one?

does anyone have a list of stage textures thats been updated in the past 4 months? lol

stage textures are like the coolest ones, but theres no good source to get them all...

No chance at all.

Just kidding. ;D

I can't test this out at the moment, so let me know if works.

(EDIT: It works, but not the one without the backpack, so I've removed that alternate MDL0. Also, the one in-game doesn't have the hair in the front like in the picture above.)

Eldiran · Nov 3, 2009

An experiment with BrawlBox, for those who prefer Fox's moveset but Wolf's appearance -- this is a texture for Fox that changes him to look like Wolf. Glitch-free, the only problem is that he holds his blaster upward, making his Neutral B fire over the heads of most. Also the shield is positioned oddly.

Other than that, works flawlessly!

Ragnar0k · Nov 3, 2009

Are there any cool textures for DK? I'd like to see Juggernaut, Hulk, and Spark Mandrill. Especially Spark Mandrill.

stingers · Nov 3, 2009

Zangeif is cool...thats the only cool one i know

Ragnar0k · Nov 3, 2009

I know of that one too.

Alphatron · Nov 3, 2009

There are only three good DK textures. Golden DK(the one that actually shines), Zangief, and Gutsman.

Ragnar0k · Nov 3, 2009

There's a gutsman texture? That's awesome. All the ones I have are old.
