Finish The Demonstrations Has Won!

Ooooh... This hurts my feelings a bit people...
You think I'm that lazy?
:(

Oh well, if you all want me to pull my act together and finish the demos I will, but I would have thought you would all want another tasty tutorial!

Check back frequently to see when I finish them, and just so I don't miss any, please put replies to this post saying which demos aren't done, thanks!

p.s. make sure to check out the mini-project 2!!!
p.p.s. I have removed the Q&A section, I couldn't get it working, sorry!

2 New 3DS Max Tutorials

Hey, I've been pushing these off for quite a while, and my teacher has finally cracked down, so here are two more 3DS Max tutorials, fresh from Wacka's oven!

3DS Max Tutorial - Lofting Objects

3DS Max Tutorial - Basic Materials And Textures

Enjoy learning these 2 new things, one of them specific, and the other broad and expansive! Have Fun!

Mini Project 02

Alright! After the initial success the first mini-project recieved, I have decided that we need another! This time, stage related!
That Goomba has to brawl somewhere!!!

Mini Project 02:

Name: Platform Destination
Required Tutorials: Creating Stages From Elements Of Other Stages, Editing Animations, Editing .rel Files, Custom Stage Select Portraits, Editing Collision Data, Animated Collision Editing.

1) - Open Final Destination In BB
2) - Open any level that has a good platform model (F-Zero level, Sunshine Level, Animal Crossing Level, etc)
3) - Export the model data for your new platform.
4) - Export the texture data for the platform.
5) - Add the model to FD (Using the "Creating Stages From Elements Of Other Stages" Tutorial for guidance)
6) - Animate the platform to your liking (For me, this would be gently moving from far left to far right. Use Editing Animations and Creating Stages From Elements Of Other Stages tutorials for guidance)
7) - Create a new collision for the platform (Use Animated Collision tutorial for this)
8) - Save the file.
9) - Use "Editing .rel Files" tutorial to edit the .rel data for Flatzone 2 so that Final Destination based stages will work over it.
10) - Add the new stage (And .rel file) to your SD
11) - Use "Custom Stage Select Portraits" tutorial to make a nice new picture of your stage.
12) - Add the new stage picture file (Described in the "Custom Stage Select Portraits" tutorial) to your SD card.
13) - Slap that down into your wii
14) - Run through GeckOS or equivilant
15) - Play!

Now it is like Flatzone 2 NEVER existed! As far as we can tell from the Stage Select Screen, it isnt there, and when we play it, we get a cool variant of FD!
Please note, that you could do this tut, but instead of this modded FD stage, use a SSE stage!

You could have one SSE stage over each of the following useless stages:
1) - Flatzone 2
2) - Mushroomy Kingdom
3) - Mario Circuit
4) - The Pirate Ship
5) - Battleship Halberd
6) - Lylat Cruise
7) - Port Town Aero Dive
8) - New Pork City
9) - The Summit
10) - 75m
11) - Mario Bros.
12) - Hanenbow
13) - Green Hill Zone
14) - Onett
15) - Corneria
16) - Rainbow Cruise
17) - Green Greens
18) - Big Blue

That is 18 stages that can be made into totally custom stages! Make brawl your own experience! Substitute EVERYTHING! live life in hacking to the max!

Finishing All Demonstrations Info

This one is pretty self explanitory, but since it looks like it will win, I'll do some explaining anyway.

If this wins, I will do all the demonstrations that have fallen behind in the past couple tutorials.
I think there are about 3 I haven't done (I'll check and do them all, no matter the number).

So yea, vote for that you completionists!
Question of the day:
"Do You Think They Will Make Another SSB Game Ever?"

Altering .rel Files Information

OK, judging by how many votes this has, people obviously do not know what it is.
Becuase it is AWESOME.
Everyone keeps asking me questions about custom stages like the following:

"Does this have to go over FD?"
"Can this go over 75M?"
"Does this work on top of Flatzone 2?"

This tutorial, covers hexing the files so they ALL WORK!
Which means, that we can finally get rid of those crappy gimmick stages, permanently!
And since I have already covered hexing, we would have an easy time doing it!

Imagine this, with the following tutorials, you can actually make a 100% fully original stage list.
- Creating Stages From Elements Of Other Stages (Or Creation Of 2D Stages)
- Altering .rel Files
- Changing Stage Selection Portraits

BAM! FULLY CUSTOMIZED BRAWL STAGES. 100% original.

Question of the day:
"How awesome is this!?"

P.S. Please check out a new feature of this blog, The "Ask A Question, Get An Answer!" section! Please feel free to ask any brawl related questions, and also, ANSWER other's questions if you can! I hope this will build our little community even more. Try it out!

Bone Adding Has Won!

Alright, its time to shine has finally arose, thank you to everyone who voted, they all count in making this better for you, the viewer.

Expect this tutorial to be out sooner rather than later, I'm thinking by the end of the weekend for sure.

But, here is an important question:

"Should this tutorial cover:
A) - Only bone adding program
B) - A project involving bone adder from start to finish"

You choose!

Another Close Poll!

Oh wow, the two big contenders are fighting for the top with just 14 hours left!
I'm excited to do either one, but it seems like Bone Adder is always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

There may be a twist ending to this one!

Question of the day:
"Which did you vote for? And why do you want it so bad?"

Animated Collisions For Custom Stages Info

Alrighty then, this is our new contendee this week, let's learn a bit more about it.
Remember that Creating Stages From Elements Of Other Stages tutorial?
Well, what if you wanted things to... Move.

As we all know, collision data is stationary, with this tutorial, we would learn how to make them MOVE!

Examples of this can be found on the Animal Crossing stage, and Skyworld.
This seems like something people would be into, so I hope to see more votes for it!

Goto And If Statements In PSA

Alright, this was suggested to me first, so I'm doing it first.
If any of you have ever done coding (I have!), you will know what a "Goto" and "If" statement are, if you havent, prepare to get learn'd.

In code, you have commands, and actions (And others stuff, but this is the basics).

when an action is completed, the command executes.
easy enough right?

The command is typically like the code below:
If P1 presses "A" button;
Goto Subaction115

Let's dissect that info.
"If P1 (Player one) presses (Inputs a controller command of button down) "A" button (The button on the controller named "A");
"Goto (Go to the location of) Subaction115 (Standard attacking animation/psa data)

Do you all understand If/Goto statements and how they work?
good.
This is how they are utilized for awesome sauce hacking.

We could make mario's standard B move (Fireball) shoot 7 fireballs with the press of one button, then make him automatically short-hop F-smash to deliver the final blow.
That is just one possibility of the infinite things code can do.

Brawl Stage Studio Tutorial Released!

Hey everyone!
Check out the latest tutorial!
Brawl Modding Tutorial - Brawl Stage Studio

I hope everyone enjoys this tut, as it was enjoyable to make, and i legitimately like this program.

Link is below, remember to "Follow" me on blogger with your google account (Youtube account works aswell).

Brawl Modding Tutorial - Brawl Stage Studio

And if you can, please donate to my university fund, or, my new microphone fund.
Thanks to anyone who does, and make sure to comment on the video and this post!

Question of the day:
"What is your favorite item in brawl?"

Stage Creator Has Won!

Wow!
I didn't think it would to be honest, with this turn of events, nothing really changes though.
Watch out for this tutorial to come soon!
(You guys love you stage tuts don't you?)

Question for the weekend,
"What Is Your Favorite Stage In Brawl?"

Answer below! And again, if you want this, or any future tuts to be done with a better mic, please donate to my "Get a new microphone fund"! (You can find the link on my latest video.)

Thanks!

Tutorial Info

Alright, it seems like the close race between Bone Adding and Brawl Stage Studio is almost over.

Bone Adding has (For now) come out on top, and you can expect this tutorial for release this weekend.

Now, in the comments section for this, I want to ask a question.
"What Assist Trophy Model Shall We Add Bones To?"

Let me know! (And remember to "Follow" me on Blogger with your Google Account!)

Changing CSS Names Info

This tutorial would cover changing the name that appears when you select a character on the CSS (Character Select Screen).
When you select "Mario", beside your player slot, it says "Mario" and a picture of your current costume.
What we would do, is change that to say something different, such as "Inferno Mario" or "Shadow" or any other word we want.

I hope this gets some more votes, because the race is REALLY close between the two big contenders.

Also, if you have a set of websites you visit daily, please add this to them so you can see the biggest updates in the brawl world (Atleast mine...).

Thanks! And remember, if you cannot stand my crappy microphone, donate some spare money to get me a better one! This benefits everyone, and I am sure you will love it aswell!

Looping Custom Songs Info

Alright, We have already done the Custom songs tutorial, twice.
But, what we did not do, is the LOOPING tutorial.

you know when a song ends, there is that lull where it quiets down?
Well, if you put a song on repeat, it sounds bad, because the end and beggining dont match up well.

This tutorial would focus on making the songs work well, so they CAN loop to a near perfect cycle.
We would take a song, find the loop points, convert to wii cycles, and add those flags to the song in the GUI.

Vote for this if you love music!

Brawl Stage Studio Info

OK, so this tutorial would have to do with making custom stages on your computer.
You all know the custom stage builder in brawl right?
Well someone made a version to do the same things (And more) on your computer!

You can enjoy the easier interface and some new abilities (Walkoff edges, etc) with this cool program.
Make sure to vote for this if you are an aspiring stage maker!

New Tutorial!

Here it is!
Check it out, and please comment, and if you enjoyed all my hard work, feel free to donate!
Also, please check out any advertisements on this page that interest you, they advertise for a reason!
Another HUGE thank you to Mewtwo2000 for helping me along the way!
Thanks!

Internet Died

Oh man, yesterday I was 100% set to do the tutorial, then my internet died.
I couldnt download a file I needed to actually MAKE the tut, and was out of commision until early today.
Sorry guys!
I will have this done either by 5pm today, or 10pm today, or 10pm tomorow (Sat).

Yes that is a very vague list of times, but really, check here at around 5, 10, or anytime sat and you should find it. :)

Thanks to Mewtwo2000 for being to amazing and helpfull!

New Tutorial Information

OK, here is the problem, as the subject of "Creating stages from elements of other stages" is SO broad, I am going to hold a special poll, JUST for what I should showcase in my tut.

This works nicely, as it gives me more time to communicate with some custom stage pros, and make the tut better, AND you all get something that is what you want.
(I was gonna do toon links level, but the rock you sometimes hit, is the FD stage, i know, boring.)

So check out the new poll, I'm super busy, I can't even describe how busy, vote vote vote!
Last week's poll had a decrease in total voters, i dont want that again! If you care, vote!

I'm home!

I'm officially back from vacation, and that tut will be done for tomorrow, also, I will have the new poll up tomorrow.
Enjoy the one day long wait!

Poll Results!

Alright! Creating Stages From Elements of Other Stages has won!
If you want more info on what this is, check out my earlier post about it.
As I said earlier, I am on vacation until Monday night, and as such, I will do this tut on Tuesday.

Enjoy the wait! (I'm sunburnt)

New Info

OK, I realise that I haven't posted since Tuesday, and I apologise for that.
I've had big things going on in my life right now.
Also, as of wednesday night, i have been on vacation to beautiful Miami Florida.

I do not have time (Or the resources) to write anything brawl related, as I'm on my laptop (And no one wants me to make more laptop tuts, you know, with the BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP when i talk).

I return from my Vacay on Monday night, and should have the tutorial that won finished on Tuesday, also hopefully the Demo for the last tut.

Thanks for understanding, and keep modding brawl. (One of the reasons i put a mini-project, was so you all had something to do when i was away, I expect great goombas from everyone!)
