Brawl+ Stage DLC: Release #1

[FrozenHobo]

Brawl+ Stage DLC Hub​

With B+ reaching an official, stable "Gold" set, the Brawl+ Backroom will be releasing official updates in the future to include updates to characters and stages, as well as possible mechanic changes. These "official" updates, however, have extended periods with no new content for the community utilize. Because of this, I have been green lighted to offer special "DLC Stage Packs" to the community to play, comment on, and critique. These responses form the community on the specific stages will help the Brawl+ BR develop a better stage list and possibly include more varied fighting environments that can be accepted by the competitive community as well as casual gamers.

These "DLC Packs" will include anywhere from 4-8 stages, usually replacing slots that were previously deemed unusable by the majority of the community (Mario Bros. for instance). The stages included are purely optional downloads and will not be made requirements for any official stage lists. They are purely for the community to enjoy and comment on. Should a particular stage, or stages, be deemed acceptable by a majority of the community, it will be edited and considered for inclusion in the next official B+ update.


Each pack will be listed in chronological order by release. Updates to downloads will be noted by post as well as in the [ code] brackets. PLEASE feel free to comment on the stages (what you like/don't like, what you think needs to be changed, etc.). All input will be considered.

~reserved~

 

[UltiMario]

Lol first post.

Wooo Stage DLC :V

 

[FrozenHobo]

pictures added (Green Greens+ pics).

 

[Shadic]

Can you put everything in a collapse tag instead of code? Code doesn't fill up the screen and makes it hard to read.

 

[FrozenHobo]

k, one sec

 

[Pete278]

So, I take it Big Blue+ got delayed to the next pack?

 

[Slashy]

Since we're already using the Stage Roster Expansion code why are these updates replacing stages, especially some that have already had changes to remove unfavorable details, or were not too terrible in the first place.

the answer is the same for both of these: this DLC pack does not include a new codeset. the intent was that anybody, regardless of if they B+ or vBrawl can download the pack and use it. Forcing people to download a gct just to use the files is annoying and ultimately deters people from using the pack.


i would recommend, slashy, that you follow my instructions and read the included txt before asking specific question.

 

[Pete278]

Aah, makes sense. Good decision. When will Big Blue+ be released, then, may I ask?

 

[FrozenHobo]

should be ready by the time we ship the next official version. i've been distracted from working on the boundaries. hopefully we'll be able to get some internal testing so it can be released ASAP.

Hi, I downloaded the DLC pack, but I don't know what to do next. Could someoen give me step by step instructions on how to apply the DLC pack? Thanks in advance!

on your sd card, go to the pf/ folder. in there, there should be 2 folders (if not, make them), labeled stage/ and module/. take the files included in the pack and put them in the appropriate folder.

note that if you don't have a module/ or stage/ folder you can just drag/drop the included ones into your pf folder.

 

[yewbowguy]

do i replace the folders or do i merge them together?

 

[OceanBlue]

When I use this DLC pack, the stages it overwrites become almost completely black. Is anyone else having this problem?

 

[MK26]

SSB Intro = insanely epic
I swear I've wanted to play on that stage for 10 years

 

[FrozenHobo]

merge if you already have them.

1) where do they become "blank"

2) what region are you

3) what do you mean by "blank"?

 

[Kati]

I think he said "black" not "blank"

This happened to me when I forgot to take off a rel file. The background is completely black, while the main stage is intact.

Make sure that for every .rel file you have in the module folder, you have the corresponding STG_____.pac file in the melee folder.



----------------------------


The boundaries for the jungle stage are pretty whack. Looking at the numbers in brawlbox though is confounding, so it will be while before I can suggest a better set of values. If anyone else can, the camera in particular needs to be able to zoom out more.

 

[Kati]

bleh double post

 

[yewbowguy]

thanks!
a suggestion: is it possible to make the UFO on fourside disappear like in SSBM instead of going up and potentially killing the people on it?

 

[FrozenHobo]

it does. it just happens to do both (which it did occasionally in melee, too)

Oh rly? I didn't know that. Good stuff

 

[Sushi21]

Pretty cool man. Thanks for uploading!
Are there any other stages you are going to add?

 

[Latias]

you ***** distant planet for no reason, you should have just removed the boublad thing and rain -.-

melee 2.0 ftl

 

[FrozenHobo]

melee 2.0 ftl

that as/is another project. check the Competitive Stage Hacking Thread for more info.


as for "******" distant planet, thats your own opinion and i can respect that, but i need more feed back on what specifically you don't like about the SSE Jungle stage.

Its battlefield with two platforms.

 

[FrozenHobo]

so your complaint is an unimpressive layout? noted.

 

[iLink]

One thing I noticed with the Distant Planet replacement.

The stage's camera either needs to be fixated more towards the left or the left boundary needs to be brought in closer to the stage. I think it's just the camera though.

 

[Latias]

so your complaint is an impressive layout? noted.

You must like notes :.:

 

[FrozenHobo]

just noticed what i meant to say is unimpressive. fix'd

but yeah, data is everything. never argue with the data.

 

[Lvl10CPU]

It seems odd to have the three stages on metal gear at the same time but that's a small quirk. I don't like the one on STGMETALGEAR_02 though. Plays too much like rumble falls+. Other than that, I like the pack.


Edit: forgot to mention the camera on the trees but I play on another version of that so I forgot to mention it.

 

[~tgm_Zeej]

75m's replacement has ceilings just offstage. Not sure if you realized, but they can be abused quite handily to avoid vertical KOs, and high horizontal KOs.

It's odd, they seem to work like a psuedo cave of immortality without being all that confining for those who know how to DI.

 

[Fijoe]

How come my Wii froze when I picked SMI and then again when I picked Mario Bros?

known and (for this release) intended.

no idea. what region are you?

 

[Fijoe]

America, also Distant Planet froze too and I'm scared to try the others :[

 

[FrozenHobo]

you're .rels are wrong. try downloading them again. also, since those stages are also designed to go ver FD, try renaming them and seeing if hey'll load regularly over FD. if not, then i need to know what your codeset is.

 

[Fijoe]

Wait oh noes I forgot the .rels :[

That must be it thanks :]

 

[UltRiX]

This is cool and all, but when are we going to see the changelist for Gold?

 

[Rudra]

This is cool and all, but when are we going to see the changelist for Gold?

I think you should see this thread if you're wondering about a changelist for B+ Gold. I'm not sure how much progress they've made on it, however.
