Stages.

^ I heard about adding 0s to the end of the file; I didn't do that, and all the stages I've edited worked fine so far (save 1, but it just misses some opening/closing graphics, probably an error on my part). So good chance that'd probably work.
As for SSBExtract... Stack Smash's stage textures, when I tried to SSBExtract them, they wouldn't extract, yet they work perfectly in-game. Odd.

Also, some of the mipmapped texture files, even after adding ", 0, 3, 0" to their TCS files, wouldn't fit under some of the original textures, being too small. Not sure why that was. (They'd crash ASH whenever put back via that method as even after being mipmapped they still wouldn't fit.)

Figured I'd bring those to your attention if you ever looked into stages, el_refugio. They're pretty basic for the most part; a lot of the stuff is kept in the order they are extracted with ASH.

Try to add 0,4,0 or even 0,5,0. This will create more mipmaps. And remember that you can't add mipmaps in +1 and +2 textures with this method.
I don't know if I will create a stage editor, I want to focus now into other personal projects. The most important ASH objective for me is accomplished.

Well, a stage editor ASH would be really nice.

I still don't get it
I edited the 3 custom stages (and 2 others) from the game and now I got to the part where I want to put the tga files back into the original pac. So I used tcsmake to convert the tga files into tcs files, but I always just get 1kb files called Tahoe Server Content Source. If I get this somehow to work I must hex the tpl files at the TEX0 adresses into the bin.out file, compress the bin.out file into a bin file with CUPASH and put the bin file back into the original pac, right?
Well, there are still some "noob" questions:
1. How can I make tcsmake to work correctly?
2. How can I convert tcs into tpl?
3. Where can I type that line in CUPASH: ntcompress -l -o 001.bin -A4 001.BIN.out.?
4. el refugio said you can skip the hexing part...how? (putting the tpl files back at the TEX0 address isn't hexing?...or is there another method?)
5. Will showing you these preview pictures motivate you enough to help me out?
