ASH v1.0: Automatic Smash Hack
-by el_refugio

Okay, heres something I think you might like. Thanks to el_refugio, gone are the days of long hexing and repeatedly running programs over and over to generate your custom textures.

With his now Automatic Smash Hack it's as simple two clicks of the mouse. Just copy the .pac into the ASH directory, run Step_1, make any changes you want, and then run Step_2. You've got a modified character file ready to be put on disk. Most programs need for the original hack are still needed (TPLx, SSBExtract, TexConv, and ntcompress), however they will all be called automatically so you never have to use any individually.

Palette textures are not currently supported, but I have his permission to madify his code to include them when I have some free time. For now, just because a character has a palette texture does not mean this can't be used as it will simply ignore that data so it remains unchanged. If a palette texture does need to be changed however, there is a time where you will be prompted to insert them yourself. Most of the time these textures are small and do not need to be modified to begin with.

This will save precious seconds and if it gets changed to support palettes, life will be complete


P.S. Sorry if this was already posted

Seems a little bit daunting but not as much as how EE's guide seemed at first.

Not really, you just need all the programs from the original method, but you just shove them in the folder, and double click the .bat

Well, I tried it and my game froze when trying to load my character... so I don't know if it was me or ASH

[SWORD21]

What exactly does it do?

[Eisley]

Yeah the characters I made using it also made my game crash!!!

[kyotita]

the ones ive made with it have worked fine. Only thing I wish it had was built in +2 and +1 texture coding without all the hassel.

Thanks for the linx. This is flippin' awesuem. The best way to get the community involved is to make it easier to edit textures.

So I after step 2 I get only 1 file it's a _new.pac or something...wasn't I supposed to get another one too? if so what does it look like? Did I do something wrong?
