How To Edit Items With No Hexing [UPDATED: Forgot to update it here :P]

[...:::VILE:::...]

GUIDE:

You will need:
Ash (with ntcompress and TexConv)
SSBExtract (can be found with ash)
Wiiscrubber 1.21 (or trucha 0.21)
Lz77ex
A SSBB iso
Basic knowledge of ASH
SSBBinsert (and all the files that are in the .rar file)

Setting Up:

In C: create a folder called "items" and from ASH copy these files into here: ntcompress.exe, cygwin1.dll, SSBExtract.exe, SSBBinsert.exe and lz77ex.exe.

Ok here's how its done:

1. Open your SSBB iso with wiiscrubber/trucha. Navigate into "parition2 > ROOT > system". Now in there extract common3_en.pac to "items" (the folder i told you to create earlier).

2. Drag common3_en.pac into lz77ex.exe, wait for it to say "press any key to continue" and obviously press any key to continue. Once that's done rename the common3_en.pac.out file to common3.pac.

3. Now drag common3.pac into SSBExtract. You will now have a folder called "common3", with in that folder you will have many .pac and .bin files, but all you will need is 003.pac, so delete everything except 003.pac.

4. Drag and drop 003.pac into SSBExtract. There should now be a "003" folder with 66 .pac files (these are all the items). Refer to the bottom of this post to see what .pac file represents what item.

5. Get the item you want to edit and edit it in ASH like normal.

6. Once you've got your _new.pac rename it to the number of pack file you edited (eg: 024.pac).

7. Drag ***.pac, common3.pac and 003.pac into your items folder.

8. Now go "run > cmd". In cmd navigate to your items folder (type cd.. then hit enter to go back 1 folder and type cd "foldername" then hit enter to go to a folder).

9. In cmd copy an paste this command in: SSBBinsert.exe 003.pac -i ***.pac . (Remember to change *** to whatever file you named it to). Minimize cmd as it will be needed later

10. Repeat step 9 but with this code instead: SSBBinsert.exe common3.pac -i 003.pac .

11. Now go back to cmd and put this command in: ntcompress -l -o common3modded.pac -A4 common3.pac .

YOUR DONE!!!

NOTE: For SD loader, in your system folder rename your "common3modded.pac" to "common3.pac"

NOTE2: For multiple items repeat step 9 for each item you made.

Post if your having some trouble with this (if its confusing tell me and i will fix it up)

Good read, but I never thought it needed to be this complex, I thought to just needed ASH and Gimp, with a working file replacement code.

You should rename this tutorial to How to rip and edit items.

Nice name by the way, reminds me of my old days playing Megaman X3.

You should be able to skip 10 and 12 steps by just doing the step 11, and even you avoid using an hex editor.

Ok, fixed it. Thanks.

Oh thank you so much. Vile, you are amazing

 

[Icefrio]

Where's SSBBinsert? I can't seem to find it. Is it separate from ASH?

 

[illinialex24]

I can provide you a link. And yes it is, it was developed yesterday, the good version was released today:

Enjoy

Fixed a SSBBinsert bug in the tut.

EDIT: Fixed another bug.

 

[Icefrio]

Thank you Alex Oh, and Vile, I dunno how much you care about grammar, but the 'Your" In blue should be "you're"

Great guide! I hope to test it out tonight.

 

[Icefrio]

Hmm. When I run the 'common3.pac' made from the .out file, I get an empty common3 file in my HP_Administrator file. Any idea how to get the items or what's wrong?

 

[ratmage99]

where can I find SSBBinsert? I have looked at google and found nothing.

Edit: Nvm, didn't see the post above.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Bump. 30 and 31 are the Poison and Super Mushrooms, respectively.

I'm having a bit of difficulty. On step 2, I am never asked to press any key to continue. It sits for a while outputting the line of "********" until it appears to close when complete. Assuming this worked, I move on to step 3.

Unfortunately, this is also a dead end for me, as my newly renamed common3.pac only runs in SSBExtract for about 1-2 seconds before abruptly closing. If I try to run it through "step1_extract" it closes abruptly in about the same amount of time, but first outputs a couple comments relating to "duplicate file or no file exists" and then only leaves behind a current_mod.ash file.

Any suggestions? I was able to download the 003 folder containing all of the items textures elsewhere, but since I can never create the 003.pac file on my own, I don't have one to use during steps seven or nine.

Help is much appreciated, and thank you.

I'm having some trouble... When I drag the "common3.pac" file into SSBextract, I'm getting only 3 files in "common3" folder. I'm getting "000.dat", "001.pac", and "002.pac" Darn... I needed the 003.pac and thats the only one i'm missing... can anyone upload that file for me? Thanks all :D

 

[Awesome Turtwig]

Nvm I got it. But how do I extract the smash ball pac? I'm only getting 3 .brres files.

This guide is ancient, just open the common3.pac in brawlbox and edit the items in there.
