Introduction/Rules

Welcome to the Smash Workshop where we provide information on all of your favorite Super Smash Brothers Brawl projects. This thread is here to introduce to you what you will be seeing here in the forum as well as an idea of what rules we will require you to follow. Many of these rules, if broken will lead to an infraction, and possibly even a ban depending on the severity or repeated nature of the offense. Post your question or issue in the appropriate thread instead of starting a new thread :) One final thing -- SEARCH THE BOARDS!

Through this post we hope to keep you informed of all the updates and changes with your favorite Smash projects. So please read up and be informed of everything going on with whichever project you have found in favor. We will try to keep this post as updated as possible with all these projects in the future.

If you have anything to add to the list, reply to the topic here.


Rules:
  • MLG (Major League Gaming) does not endorce modding Wiis. MLG owns Smash World Forums, therefore you shall not speak of modding Wiis in anyway on this forum. If you need help with the modding of your Wii, installing Homebrew or the like then please Google it and get the help you need.
    [br][/br]
  • Linking to hacker sites and hacker tools is against the rules. Do not link or discuss ISOs, torrents, files off of an ISO (see #3), WAD files, backup loaders, ROMs, cIOS or any copyrighted code. See Section 6 of the Global Rules for more information.
    [br][/br]
  • Copying, requesting and/or distributing copyrighted data directly from a Wii game, in any shape or form, is prohibited. This includes mdl0 files used for character models. Making your own data completely from homebrew, like if you were to make your own mdl0 from scratch, is completely legal and is allowed on the forums.

Holy **** I made it into the OP!

BTW, I would really appreciate it if you added something along the lines of "no official release or download yet, still working on the alpha".

Also, you forgot Super Smash Flash.

Might I suggest that the ALSTT and "Editing music titles using BrawlBox" be put in the music sections and not the misc section? Very great, what you've done here. This'll help a lot of people.

"Challenger Approaching!!! - Young Link Returns by jackharvest
While not PSA, Young Link returns from Melee."

I'd just like to point out there is a PSA for him. It's not in the OP (it should) but is easily accessible.

wow

/approve

EDIT: just out of curiosity, would my sss guide be important enough to go in the guides section when i put it up?

and shouldnt this thread double as a q&a thread?
Link?

And there are so many topics that I thought the Q&A would go in the appropriate thread instead :ohwell:

Good idea, doing that now

Like w/ MK26 post a link and I'll add it :p

Well, erm, I meant to the SWF thread, not the PAC files itself
Yeah, I know. The thread you provided is the right one. In that thread, a pac was made. It's simply not been updated to the OP yet. I hope it wll be updated soon. I just wanted to point out that when you wrote in the thread description that there was no PSA for it, it was wrong and needed to be corrected.

For MYM, could you replace the link with the one to our blog? It would be easier since it provides links to every MYM and every moveset posted, and it wouldn't need updating for every new contest. Thanks :)

EDIT: And also, could you replace Hyper_Ridley with "Various"? All of the seven MYMs thus far have been began by different people.

Sorry PK, we had to clean up the sticky clutter and decided PAL code had to go, however I put it on top of the first post because it is important.

:urg:

Bad idea. It's now harder to find what I would call the only option for PAL users. Seriously, brawl hacking is hard enough for us as is; the least you could do is keep the one thread in the forum for Europeans stickeyed. >.>

I'm already discussing about a Q&A/Support subforum for the Workshop with JV hopefully soon, but if the idea is turned down, I'll see if a good substitute is your General Q&A thread which you can maintain :p

edit: I forgot there was a Brawl Hacking Support Thread ._.

Actually, completely disregard what i said before, and listen to this.

We need a new (and findable) brawl hacking support thread. even though the most recent post was an hour ago, i still couldn't find it. I would suggest making it sticky and having a rule where if you post a quest and it is not answered in (insert plausible time here) then you can make a new thread regarding it.

That may actually be a good idea for now, I'll sticky it now and edit the announcement/rules/welcome wagon topic later tonight with that.

No offense or anything, but i dont think people read the announcements, or the rules.. the main reason i am even here right now is because it said "Click here BEFORE making new thread", and posting here would be logical.

Make sure that everyone knows it exists! even though its stickied does not mean people will see it! i would suggest a mass message.

Dunno if a mass message would work for people who are new to posting here, the only way I could actually get them to read is the announcement/sticky, there isn't really anything I can do within my power to make it more obvious :ohwell:

if there is a question and it is answered, then it should be added into the OP of the Q/A thread so people read it and dont ask questions that were answered on the previous page

I had thought that was a good idea and was going to suggest it, but it would eventually become too cluttered and people wouldn't bother searching. Mabye if we had an external database that would work well.

If you guys can help me with the new FAQ sticky, that'd be great, just post here and whatever I missed will be added

Not just that but when I get home I'm gonna put overdue links (SSE stages, brawlbox tutorials etc) on here, and use a new bbcode to my advantage as well

If you look at this, you're a stalker: NorCal
In the FAQ section, under "how do I make a code" you didn't exactly answer that, you just told how to set up a GCT. Also, what are all the "." for? One last suggetstion, you should add a BrawlBox section to the Table of Contents, since there are a lot of BrawlBox related threads.

Temporarily setting up questions and answers still, I got side-tracked from continuing :ohwell:

Adding BrawlBox section now...

For what characters do I must have a pac file for, and do I need one for a character that doesn't need a pac if the pcs file came with the pac file? I seen the list before, but I can't find it.
