Menu and CSS Background Texture

SuperMasterHand · Jan 24, 2010

Hello
Someone have remplaced the background menu by the one of a stage (BTT I think)
So I tried too but with the custom stage background,it worked
It is very very easy,I'm surprised that nobody tried that before
Just change the texture of the background stage to make custom menu background

I made a Space menu (I think it look very cool )

So I extracted the Mdlo background of a custom Stage (STGEDIT.pac)
I extracted the texture background
In mu_menumain.pac , Misc 3 , remplace MenMainBg_TopN by the new model
and add a the new texture (it must have his orginal name)
So change the texture like you want to make custom background

Download the Menu Background Texture Space : http://www.mediafire.com/?zl11wnrmnj2

From this file,you could just change the texture to make your own custom background =)
(anyway, I love my space texture lol)

If you make other texture,please show it,it would be cool

EDIT: Custom Background Texture is now possible for CSS

I have found the way to change the background texture of the CSS
It was too easy
-Extract "MenSelchrCchar4_TopN" (sc_selcharacter.pac/MiscData30/3D Model)
-Remplace "MenSelchrBg_TopN" by the new "MenSelchrCchar4_TopN" : You will have a picture of Mario in the CSS Background
-Change the texture of "MenSelchrFaceB.001" (sc_selcharacter.pac/MiscData30/Texture) you can change the size,but only power of 2 from 128x160 (too big picture freeze the game)
-In the "MenSelchrBg_TopN" model,in animations,choose " "MenSelchrBg_TopN" ,select the first bone "MenSelchrCchar4_TopN" and edit the scale X and Y to make the picture bigger,try to find the good size if you want your picture to take all the background,change the Translatin Z values in a neegative number to make it more realistic

TAAAADAAAAA space background (the same that the one in my menu)

I'm too happy and proud to found that,and so surprised that was too easy like that =D

Nice thx =)

It tried on the CSS a while ago other backgrounds but the result are only a white screen.
Today i gave it another try but the results are the same.
It freezes when the background was 1024x1024, but it doesnt freeze if u resize it to 640x640. (I think its because of the filesize)

But anyway, theres still the white screen <.< and i dunno how to remove it...

Can you post a screen shot?

camzy · Jan 24, 2010

CSS screens I don't think you can change effectively yet

Thanks for this! I'm going to make my own now!

highfive · Jan 24, 2010

I'll see what I can do with this.

camzy · Jan 24, 2010

By the way, is there an optimum resolution? It resizes the image automatically and it's often really badly done. 640 x 640 better than 1024x1024?

Hello, sorry for the up, but I like now if it work for PAL ?
I'll search in the iso of SSBB PAL for know the emplacement, but I don't find

Jiiprah · Feb 1, 2010

1024x1024 bc it has to have room for when you use the c-stick to move the camera. plus, it bends the image. the space one worked out very well.

lordhelmet · Feb 1, 2010

Very cool, *downloads*

camzy · Feb 1, 2010

Thanks for that! I used a 640x640 and I actually got a very nice warped image lol.

Thanks so much, it's very cool background for menu and CSS.
Very good job =D

Oni K4ge · Feb 3, 2010

just so u know, to use it with the sd loader, the directory for sel_char is pfmenu2 not pf/menu2, as in theres no slash. jtlyk

Kaye Cruiser · Feb 3, 2010

As Oni said, it's pfmenu2, not pf/menu2. Don't want angry noobs getting angry. :3

culexus・wau · Feb 3, 2010

is there anyway for this not to happen.

luigiman1928 · Feb 3, 2010

I think its supposed to look like that. XD lol she looks like the Fat Princess.

Tylerelyt · Feb 3, 2010

Care to explain how you made the character select icons? I can't figure it out.

Yumewomiteru · Feb 3, 2010

When I put in the CSS background texture, I lose all my Character portraits, is there a way to fix that?

if you're replacing the ones in the common5 export the char_bust and replace it the pac that you downloaded

Uhhh.... Sorry, I don't really understand that, can you clarify please?

In the common5 under sc_selcharacter_en is char_bust_tex_lz77 export it can open the texture pac and if it's called sc_selcharacter_en inside it is char_bust_tex_lz77 replace that with the one you exported is that better?

Kaye Cruiser · Feb 3, 2010

...Dude, I'm using the exact file you put in the download without editing it and the CSS looks EXACTLY the same. No space background or anything. Are you sure you set this up correctly? -.o

FrozenHobo · Feb 3, 2010

css goes in pf/menu2, not pfmenu2/

Yumewomiteru · Feb 3, 2010

Oh okay, I got it to work, thanks!

...I can't freakin' believe that folder works for that file but not for the other stuff. O_o

Oh well, at least it's fine now. XD

hotdogturtle · Feb 3, 2010

Here's what I made =P

It's sort of distorted because the background is warped into a sphere shape, but it's good enough for what little time you'll spend on the menu.

Questions:
1. Is it possible to swap the menu background with a stage's (3D) background?
2. If yes, does the background show up normally, without warped dimensions?

sinistersnakesennin · Feb 4, 2010

Because of the camera the menu uses, results vary from stage to stage, unfortunately.

Not only that, but they wont animate.

hotdogturtle · Feb 4, 2010

Hmm, too bad. But I bet you could still find a lot of still frames from stages' backgrounds that would look good on the menu.

Dark Fawful · Feb 4, 2010

when i replace the picture i want and use it, the game freezes after the opening clip. the screen just turns dark.

ive noticed that it turns to 10 megabytes so it may be the size so..

why does it change from 4 mb to 10 mb even when im replacing it with a smaller image?

FrozenHobo · Feb 4, 2010

sinistersnakesennin · Feb 4, 2010

For the CSS, did you replace the background model?

Steel_Samurai · Feb 4, 2010

I don't understand the OP
what would the sd directory look like for this?
sorry im just kind of lost

so now we have to replace csp's through this? cuz thats kinda wierd

Zodiark · Feb 6, 2010

When I try to change the background texture , BrawlBox tell me that this is impossible T-T

"L'opération arithmétique a provoqué un dépassement de capacité "

So in english ( with reverso x) ) :

"The arithmetic operation provoked an overflow"

Can someone tell me why I have this error ? :V

Power Marshall · Feb 8, 2010

I downloaded your SC_Character.pac, MasterHand, and put it in my SD. (PF/Menu2)
I tested it without touching it or editing anything, and the game freezes when I click on Group>Brawl with the Brrr... sound nobody likes. Anything I am doing wrong?

EDIT: My CSS problem consists, but Thank God I can still have a custom Menu.

Kei_Takaro · Feb 8, 2010

Maybe it's better if we replace the model of the menu from sphere to a flat plane?
That way, no more stretching will occur

If that's possible at all, then please, someone do it. It would make the whole process so much easier.

Kei_Takaro · Feb 9, 2010

I could give it a try but I wanna know how OP replaced it. It could work with the 2d stage method I think

sinistersnakesennin · Feb 9, 2010

I have an excellent Menu and CSS hack I'd love to share with everyone, but I need someone to take a video of it.

Just replace your files with this one for the purposes of the video, you don't have to keep it. You'll probably want to though xD

Ive done that here. It isn't completely flat, but it doesn't distort the image at all. Please help me show everybody.
