Infinant (Sp?) parts, custom preview pictures, beta parts, out-of-bounds parts.

Have fun.

WIN

Yes, YEs, and more YES. It’d be cool if you could add your own assets like making your own stage as a model, and defining peramiters and such.

Holy Crap Saucer!!

CloudVaris · March 7, 2009, 7:09pm

YES

I knew it. I knew there was SOMETHING like this! =D

This is amazing. The one thing they should do imo is the “ability” to add in your own music or something. And pick a restarting point for it or somethig…idk

MrGuest · March 7, 2009, 7:34pm

Rundas, your sig still has the “contact zurg though me” line, fyi.

Grenchler · March 7, 2009, 7:40pm

and yours still says 072 h4t3r.

MrGuest · March 7, 2009, 7:41pm

I am fully aware.

s123i68 · March 7, 2009, 9:21pm

Well, if I can’t reach you, Zurg, I can try Rundas.

No because then you’d get songs like Scissor Sister’s “I can’t decide.” mixed in with annoying songs like Lemon Demon’s “Ultimate Showdown”, mixed in with custom MP3s of people doing the dirty.

Haha, I’ve been on top of the Stage Studio for a few months now. Sorry, I should have brought it up! xD

For your convenience, and so that none of you join those boards and post all the things millions of others have, here is a list of what IS and is not possible with the Stage Studio (that hasn’t already been done), according to FullMetalKirby:

You can easily shrink a block to 0x0, just by setting width and height to 0, as for making it small by stretching while keeping its original ‘size’, you can make it (about) 1/7th of its original height/width at best, which is pretty small.

As I’ve explained before anyways; I’ve spent more then enough time manually editing to know what can and can’t be done, and what can be done is as follows:

All ‘Floors’, as well as the Ice Blocks, Falling Platforms, Springs and Spikes, can be made from a width/height of 0 to a width/height of 7. [Note: The conveyor belt can be as well, but height-wise will only end up about 2 blocks high max.]

Most/All objects can have the original height/width value given to them split so they’re 1/3rd, 1/5th, or 1/7th that size. [Ex: You have a 4 height and a 1/3rd split, the block will be 1.33 in size.]

All ‘Structures’, as well as the Up-Down Platform, Side-to-Side Platform, and Ferris/Water Wheel, are not limited by the 7x7 size rule, and can be marginally bigger (Average of 20x18).

All blocks can be broken off the snap-to-grid function to an extent. The best that can be done is off centering an object by half a block of space on the x/y axis.

On a large-sized map, objects can ‘overlap’ the bottom and right side of the map by a max of two spaces (Minus ‘junk’ space, such as the bottom block of falling platforms) without causing problems.

A stage can be made four sizes: Small, Medium, Large, and Null. [Null is value $3, which is useless unless you want constant death.]

Conveyor speeds can be increased by overlapping multiple conveyors.

Decide if the preview picture is wide screen or full screen.

Pick music for the stage not normally selectable [Note: Nameless songs will just freeze if you try to hover over the stage in the Vault on Brawl.]

Slanted platforms are the only things that can be ‘rotated’ to be higher then long, and ONLY because you can do that simply by changing it to have a greater height then width.

‘Junk’ space can be placed over the upper and left side of the stage and not cause any respawning issues.

‘Super-Stretched’ objects can be set outside of the upper and left side of the stage to an extent without causing respawning issues.

The following are all handled by the game when it loads the stage and can not be changed without ‘run-time’ codes, ISO hacking, or USB Gecko, if at all.

A width/height beyond those specified above.

A depth beyond what is normally given.

X/Y/Z Angling of objects.

Respawn points.

Item spawn points.

Upside down objects.

Custom block/background textures.

Objects unsnapped to the block grid more then the above specified amount.

Other things I’ve probably overlooked.

Also to note, changing the ladder size in any way, shape, or form, is 100% impossible.

EPIC WIN

I just meant for your own custom stages =/
Personally for you, not “uploadable”

Deetroid · March 8, 2009, 10:18am

i think pizzaboy found a way to play custom stages with friends (online multiplayer), i also think he was the one who started this whole hacking brawl stages thing.

What the hell man? I waited all weekend to get home so i could try this out and finally i downloaded it. i unzip it and double click the exe wich then causes my screen to go black and restart my computer. I got this computer 2 months ago! there’s nothing wrong with the components and it’s pretty up to date. I’m not using vista either. Is it my monitor? I have a 1440x900 resolution flatscreen. Help!

MrGuest · March 9, 2009, 12:31am

I got the same rez… what OS are you running?

Edit: And which .exe? (Don’t forget to extract it first)

Saber_Mage · March 9, 2009, 12:45am

Vista wouldn’t be a problem anyways, I don’t think. has, and SS works fine on it

Umbre · March 9, 2009, 12:50am

I’ve got windows xp proffesional with service packs 1 and 2
