[Brawlhacks][MeowMix Guides] CUPASH CSP Character Selection Portraits HD Audio Fix

[zigazav]

I use Riivolution, does the "remove the _en" apply it it too? (I mean to the common files and the files tha go into menu2 folder that are from common5) I have the latest XML files. I've read that putting the file sc_selmap in the SD card with using Riivolution will cause a game crash, is this true for the latest version?

You can also use Ctrl T to change the size of the layer

[SuperMarcel999]

[Ghostrill]

where do i put the .tga files of premade csp's?

[SonicBrawlChao]

DAMMIT cant find a ntcompress anywher (except on smash boards BUT they are all rapid share and rapid share is overloaded evry time i chech DX)

[SonicBrawlChao]

@SonicBrawlChao OMG NVM got it. if any1 wants me to upload it on sendspace just ask ^_-

[TheZeroJoker]

I downloaded the smashboards ntcompress and TexConv from rapidshare, but step1_extract.bat refuses to recognize them.

So, half warning to you, half question. Why won't it recognize them?

[AceSe3don]

Best guide I ever saw. subbed.

[ryanmcintee]

i followed this perfectly and got a lot of these to work but i still have an issue with a lot (particularly samus) and it says its too big and to use less colors. help?

[TwilightPaladen]

Ok no matter what I do it still says the image is too big...I'm trying to do marth and I indexed it clear to 30 and it still won't work...can anyone help me?

[aschreplica]

Whenever I change a csp the basic set I downloaded continues to show up in game :/

[darkmasterofssbb]

@aschreplica that happens to me to

[Smashtasix1234]

I don't see the system Folder! What did I do Wrong?

[elscotto73]

i need help when i try to create it comes up with convert almostfinal to usamode wtf do i do?? :( please help me

[supersmaahbrosdojo]

For 7:00 to 7:26 I don't understand what to do here

[manfistoffury]

This tutorial is beast! Thank you, you've earn 5 stars!

[xzxomega]

i did ever step but the ghost thing do not come out

[xzxomega]

my ghosly image did not come up help 2:17

[xzxomega]

how do i get my own image

[xzxomega]

how do i get the pic from the wii

[mrshmuga9]

k, nvm. i heard setting the indexed colour to 72 usually fixes the problem. it did.

[mrshmuga9]

the ones I made? Or if you can download all of those CSPs in one pack? Because they didn't come inside the pack, it already had the common.pac file in it to begin with. Thanks for your time.

P.S. I tried looking for an answer to question 1 but was unsuccessful.

[mrshmuga9]

Hey, thanks for this guide it really helped, but I have 2 problems.

1) My pikachu, ness and bowser CSPs get the error "(character) is too big. You should reduce the amount of colors in modified portrait." I used the chart, put them all about 30 colors less than it said and I still got the error.

2) I downloaded MasterLinkx's textures and now when I replace the old common.pac file with my new one it gets rid of all of the other CSPs. Is there a way I can keep the old and just replace the ones..

[ThundagaT2]

Problem again, I downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS4, just like the one you have, yet im still stuck at 6:17, the step where you paste the image into the blank magenta file, i cant see the image outside the square like it shows in the vid, and i cant seem to resize it. How do you do that?

[teammeowmix]

CTRL + T should give you the results your looking for after you paste it. This will "transform" your object so you can resize it.

[ThundagaT2]

I have a question, This would also work using GIMP correct? Im trying to do this, but when I get to the indexed color step, im confused, since GIMP seems to want to convert the picture to indexed colors, instead of telling me what they are. Maybe someone can look through it, and tell me what Im supposed to do exactly?

[teammeowmix]

Check the video replies. We released a whole guide for GIMP in another video. :)

[leafbarrett]

Why is it that whenever I follow a tutorial exactly, absolutely nothing on it works?

[8timmy1111]

U sound like a robot XD

[teammeowmix]

Thanks. Bzzt.

[DeStryke51]

says I my portraits got no indexed palette

[MasterZURG]

is it possible to extract portraits from a common5 file?

[MarioPodVideo]

Moew

[teammeowmix]

Meow to you too.

[FFMAY]

i downloaded cupash and did every thing u said put it cant get the inface file idk y

[FierceDeityXeroX]

I'm having difficulty with Toon Link's indexed color. How many colors is he supposed to have? I copied each portrait's number exactly into its replacement and it said they were too big, then I reduced a few by as many as five or ten. Do you know the set color amount for Toon Link?

[assasin22red]

Thanks for this tutorial vid.

After watching this vid I went on downloading photoshop and did what was shown on the vid.

And it worked as expected. :D

[relyt199]

I like how the most commonly asked question is how to get more than olimar's csps. Run step_1 people, that's how you get the others.

[1Zero99Lucia5]

could you make a download link for all the characters portraits? only those of olimar were with the CUPASH file

[hell2uall]

Check their forums. As teammeowmix said, if you have any question, check the forum.

[iCookieDreamer]

Where did you get tha tga's? The CUPASH download only comes with olimar's tga

[hell2uall]

If you've checked their forums, you wold of already gotten the answer.

[hell2uall]

Actually, you have to wait a while after you opened step1_extract.exe.

[DaveThehedgehog1]

to confusing!!!!!!!! :(

[italianstallion904]

i dont kno why, i did everything u said, and for some reason, the brres files didnt copy. and they are nowhere to be found. all i have is the templates folder and all the applications. no brres anywhere.. ?

[italianstallion904]

i dont understand wat the big fucken deal is with the ntcompress.exe n the texconv.exe why u make us look for it n shit. why not just included it in the pac? i know i sound lazy n all but its ridiculous how every video n forum is like "oh no, google is ur best friend" shitttt..

[qazqazdabest]

Because it's piracy otherwise.

It's not that hard to find.  If you spent less time writing this complaint you'd have got them by now!

[teammeowmix]

Amen to that.

[awsomecrossing]

Becuase it's illegal.

[sonicburn5]

ok well i looked at all of the guides that i could find and couldnt figure something out. i did not make the portraits myself, i downloaded them. i put everything where it needed to go, i got the ntcompress.exe file and i hit step2_create. But the first thing that comes up is convert almostfinal.tmp to usamode.tmp. Then the program closes. If you can help me that would be great :)

[awsomecrossing]

6:16

Help wanted. From 6:16 , It shows the 'Dotted blinking lines' I do not have that. How does that form?

[qazqazdabest]

Don't worry about that. Click the black cursor in the top left corner and resize the picture that way.

[hitsugaya1224]

Thanks for the video,

question: where do I get the InfFace number and stuff?

[Flamberge9]

i have a conern...i downloaded the CUPASH thing and the only templates i have is olimar. did i do something wrong?

[qazqazdabest]

Yes. You need to find the basic .brres files and common5.pac file

[teammeowmix]

ALRIGHT FOLKS, many of you seem to be having trouble with this. I'm telling you, PLEASE visit the Kitty Corp: Meowmix forums to get help on your particular issue. This is easily resolved.

Please check the link in the description for the url to Kitty Corp: Meowmix's forums.

[mikmar195]

cant you see that a lot of people are having trouble with this? no offense, but i (and some other people commenting on this vid) keep getting "ERROR: (character name)# is too big" when we run step 2. And then it says to reduce the number of colours. I did, from 221 down to 150, and it's still too big, even when yours worked at 230. even the other tga files that come with it in the folder "templates" don't work. please help us!

[KillerDrive666]

When I do step 2 Its closes in 3 seconds then I only get 2 of the 3 folders. Menu & Info

[nuclear432]

C'mon please answer!

[MigueruHyuga]

The same that OniTheWolf:

Bowser is too big. You should reduce the amount of color in modfied

I do some for Link and Peach and

work, but other for Peach and Bowser

dont work, How I fix this please!!!

[OniTheWolf]

Nvm, all I did was reduce the porrtrait to 71 colors after indexing. Got fixed.

[MigueruHyuga]

Realy realy tanx, I doit

and work, tanx agane

[nuclear432]

It dosnt work.When you said copy the image and paste one the magenta image i dont get those blinking line outside the magenta image.Help!?

[princemarth150]

after i have put textures for all the characters in brawl. i think ima try this

[Scarecrow3001]

Hey - could you possibly provide a link to the TGA of the Tidus you've just made? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

[OniTheWolf]

Ugh, I'm starting to get erroneous color errors in step 2 @_@ am i using too much colors for my CSP?

[OniTheWolf]

Nvm, fixed that, but now I have another problem: Error: Lucas is too big. You should reduce the amount of color in modfied CSP's. How do I do that? :(

[Hyperstar96]

It puts in a lot of CSPs that I never even put in my newfiles! How do I fix this?

[nintenprof]

i have a few questions

im a pal user and i dont know in wich folders is should put the portraits and somethings i get a portrait with a texture do need to do anything with them please reply

[teammeowmix]

FOR THOSE OF YOU HAVING TROUBLE: You need ntcompress and texconv in order for this to work. You wont find it at MeowMix, but you may find a clue *wink* at the brawlhacks wiki download page --> brawlhackswiki [dot] wikia [dot] com [slash] wiki [slash] downloads

Hope that helps. ;D

[khortonworld]

THANK YOU !!! Now It Can Work !!!

[khortonworld]

Can You help ? it doesnt work until the end of the battle,at the result's. the picture (not the character) at the top of the result's is only effected D= can u help ?

[teammeowmix]

This ALWAYS indicates a failure to rename the the common5en[dot]pac file that you put on your sd card (within one of the 3 folders) to common5[dot]pac

That will fix it. I ran into the same issue a few times, then realize I forgot that step. ;)

[khortonworld]

sorry. i keep getting error's. so, the first time it worked. the second time i tried Even More character's. i had to delete some because to much colour. i started my wii. and started to play running from the homebrew channel.gecko OS. but when i click any button that will send me to a character select screen.BAM.i get a long beeping noise and my wii freeze's. is there a way i can fix this ? its not the disc because i already cleaned it again.

[MrDcold3]

I keep typing that in and it says the link is broken or page not found @.@

[MrDcold3]

Nevermind, i kept typing that in and it came out wrong. I think you accidentally typed it wrong. Brawlhacks[dot]wikia[dot]com[s­lash]wiki[slash]downloads

[MrDcold3]

That's the navigation to the website, you added wiki to the beggining by accident i think :]

[khortonworld]

also does anyone know where i can get NTcompress and Texconv? i couldnt find it in there downloads D=

[khortonworld]

all of mine when i try step 2 say : "name#_big Does Not Have Indexed Pallet. It Will Be Ignored" and it does that for all of them. so there ALL ignored !!! HELP! !!

[xeedoc]

I am not getting a .brres file in my menu file after I run step 2

[OnyxLeo]

Do you NEED Photoshop or will any other program work? (Like say, Fireworks?)

[OnyxLeo]

Thanks, I'll try and see if I'm tech savvy enough to operate it. XD

[M3ment0Mori]

At 4:12, when you index the new image, shouldn't you delete the extra stuff first? Otherwise you're wasting colors in the table and lowering the quality of the actual CSP.

[teammeowmix]

Excellent point. For a higher quality csp, this is a good step. I will add it to the commentary.

[Arbiter9]

I already got my program set up just fine. But when I try to create the brres files it tells me ntcompress is not an operable program blah blah blah. I downloaded mine from "Picano" and already asked him for help but it seems my question was ignored. Any solutions?

[f00db01]

where do you put common5?

[rederci939]

ive tryed everything

it wont work

[teammeowmix]

Very interesting. Come over to the forums and let's inquire the entire team.

teammeowix [dot] proboards [dot] com

[rederci939]

kk

ive made a topic in the forum guides

(i didnt know where else to put it)

[rederci939]

also nothing appears in the 3 files after step 2

[rederci939]

except the common5_en.pac

[teammeowmix]

Exactly correct. The common5_en.pac file needs to be renamed to common5.pac. The other folders are used for the Battle Portraits (image at the bottom during a fight) which will be covered in a guide soon.

Excellent question.

[rederci939]

so i need to rename common5_en to just common5 before i start step 2?

[princemarth150]

man doing these portraits seems like a lotta hard word

[rederci939]

when i paste the dotted lines only appear inside the magenta rectangle

[teammeowmix]

This would normally occur if both files have NOT been indexed. Both files need to be indexed to get the result you desire. If you run into more trouble, post your issue on the MeowMix boards (link in the description).

We'll help you quickly if the problem persists.

[Blazeknight7]

The CSP didn't Work I ran Step 2 After Doing Everything Then put the Folders On My SD Card and nothing Appeared in Brawl It was a Toon link CSP For Red Toon link Help PLZ

[LegendOfNikkonolasco]

Are you going to cover a guide for the small CSPs? Or are they no different?

The reason I ask is because I remember a post on Meow Mix that they need a guide for that, and also there are no small CSPs in your download.

[teammeowmix]

Excellent question. Yes, we will be covering the battle portraits (the small csps, as you say) - Expect it early August.

[LegendOfNikkonolasco]

Awesome.

I can't wait till I can have the my own fully custimized Brawl. =D

[rederci939]

wut u mean small csps?

[teammeowmix]

Small CSP is what LegendOfNikkonolasco called it. The proper name for it is "Battle Portrait" and is the image at the bottom of the screen while you're in a battle.

[EvanEtrics]

Which version of Photoshop did you use for this?

[teammeowmix]

This is CS4, but you can use anything back to Photoshop 7.0, and this will still work. Heck, even Gimp is capable of doing this.
