HOW TO USE AND MAKE TEXTURE HACKS (Windows only)

PREREQUISITES
Already followed the previous tutorial on getting mods set up
This pack of files - https://mega.nz/#!nlsGnKQI!BVIjeLDL24ZA9FRXmvtcBK75ILvAgyjSo08v615QfVw
Python 2.7 installed - https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2711/

DUMPING THE GAME (PC STEPS)
1) Unzip the pack of files you just downloaded
2) Put the two folders in the "extra htdocs files" inside C:/xampp/htdocs, like you did with two other folders in the first tutorial
3) In the "sd card files", take the "wiiu" folder, and place it on the root of your SD card
4) Inside the titledumper folder, Shift + Right-click and select "open command window here"
5) Type "titledumper /vol \Smash" (without the quotes) into this window
6) Titledumper should say "Waiting for WiiU connection"
7) Make sure XAMPP is running and that you know your internal IP, and put your SD card in your Wii U

DUMPING THE GAME (WII U STEPS)
1) Open the Wii U internet browser
2) Edit one of the bookmarks (don't edit the other mod bookmarks) to look like this:
    Name:     DDDKernel
    Address:  http://<your internal ip from earlier>/dddkernel/blarg.php
3) Edit one of the other bookmarks to look like this:
    Name:     DDD
    Address:  http://<your internal ip from earlier>/ddd/blarg.php
4) Tap on the DDDKernel bookmark. The screen will go green like when you run the regular kernel
5) Wait for the console to kick you to the home menu, and go back into the internet browser
6) Tap on the DDD bookmark
7) On the screen that pops up, enter your own internal IP and press X
8) Boot Smash. The game will hang on the booting splash screen
9) Check your computer. Within a minute of booting Smash, titledumper should have some activity

Smash is a very big game (around 16GB) so it'll take a while to fully dump. I'd recommend doing this overnight. Once Smash is fully dumped, you're ready to move on to the next step.

You can download individual mods from http://ssbu.gamebanana.com, or you can make your own later in the tutorial.

PREPARING MODS TO BE BUILT
1) If you downloaded a moveset or sound mod, you don't need this section
2) If you donwloaded a texture / model hack that came in a folder called "c" and then two numbers, skip to step 7
3) If you downloaded a texture / model hack that came in a folder called "cXX", you can skip to step 6
4) If you downloaded a texture hack that was just a "model.nut" or just "model.nud", it should have a slot listed on the download page
	(if there is no slot listed, message the creator of the mod, as you need to know the slot to use the mod)
		Take the slot number they give you
		Put the model.nut in a folder called "cYY", where YY is the slot minus one
		If the slot minus one is only one digit, add a zero before it
		Skip to step 7
5) If you downloaded a texture / model hack that was both "model.nut" and "model.nud", put it in a folder called "cXX"
	(if there's more than just those two files that's okay, put those files in the cXX folder too)
6) Replace the "XX" at the end of your folder's name with the slot you'd like to replace minus one
	(if, for example, I want to replace Mario's default texture, slot 1, I'd call the folder "c00")
	(if, for example, I want to replace Mario's black and white texture, slot 5, I'd call the folder "c04")
7) If your model / texture hack came with CSP portraits, they should be have the slot number at the end of the file name
	(if, for example, I want to replace Mario's default CSP, slot 1, the files should end with a 1)
	(if, for example, I want to replace Mario's black and white CSP, slot 5, the files should end with a 5)
	(I'm aware this means the texture itself and the CSP have different numbers, I'm annoyed too)
ADVANCED - SKIP THIS IF YOU'RE NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON
7) If, when you play with two different textures, they both show up as the texture in the lower port, you have texture ID problems
8) If, when you try to use a texture, it's all red with patches of white, you have texture ID problems
9) To fix texture ID problems, copy the model.nud and the model.nut into the texidfix folder
10) Shift + Right-click in this folder and click "open command window here"
11) Type "TexIDfix2.py model.nud model.nut <texID>" into the command window
	(if, for example, I wanted to set the texID to 14, I'd type "TexIDfix2.py model.nud model.nut 14")
	(Nintendo set the texture ID to 4 x (slot - 1) so avoid using any of those numbers, and don't go over 255)

BUILDING MODS
1) Open Sm4shFileExplorer in the pack you downloaded
2) When it asks you to select the latest version of the game, go to "Computer" -> "C:/" -> "Smash" -> "vol"
3) Wait while Sm4shExplorer loads all the files (this can take a long time on the european version)
4) Open the "data" dropdown, then open the "fighter" dropdown
5) Open the dropdown of the fighter you've downloaded / created a mod for
6) Open the dropdown in that fighter of the kind of mod you've downloaded
	If it's a texture / model hack, you want the model -> body dropdown
	If it's a voice hack, you want the sound dropdown
	If it's a moveset hack, you want the script -> animcmd dropdown
7) Drag and drop the mod file into the appropriate folder, they'll go green to indicate that a mod is being loaded
	(for example, drop any mod folders called "c" then two numbers onto the body folder, not the folder with the same name)
	(to remove a mod, right click and select "remove mod files")
8) If you have CSP mods, navigate to ui -> replace -> chr, and add them there
	(CSP mods go in the folder that matches the start of their name)
	(for example, if I have a CSP mod called "chr_13_Captain_05", it goes in the "chr_13" folder)
	(DLC character CSPs are located in ui - replace -> append -> chr)
8) Once you've added all of your mods, click "Project -> Build the mod" at the top of Sm4shExplorer
9) Wait for the mod to be built, and then close Sm4shexplorer
10) In Sm4shexplorer's folder, there should be a folder called "export"
11) Inside the "export" folder, there should be a folder called "release"
12) Rename the "release" folder to "patch", and move it to the number folder on your SD card
	(if there's already a patch folder in there you don't want to delete, rename it to something else and it will have no effect)

That's all you need to know if you just want to compile other people's mods together. If you want to make your own, read on!

EXTRACTING TEXTURES
1) Open Sm4shexplorer, and navigate through to the fighter that you want to texture hack
2) Pick the skin that you want to modify
3) Right-click on it and select "Extract"
4) In Sm4shexplorer's folder, the should be a folder called "extract"
5) Navigate through the extract folder until you find your extracted skin's folder
6) Copy the "model.nut" from this folder into the "InjectPack" folder in the pack you downloaded
7) Shift + Right-click inside the InjectPack folder, and select "open command window here".
8) In the command window, type "nut_check.py model.nut"
	(if you're extracting from another nut file, you have to put the name of that file in)
9) Then run the GTX2DDS bat file
10) You now have a large amount of DDS files in the OutDDS folder

Editing the texture files isn't the easiest thing to do, as they're saved as DDS files. I'd recommend getting Windows Texture Viewer (http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/windows_texture_viewer.html) first, but it's not needed. You need a program that can open DDS files to do anything. I used paint.net, but there are also plugins for photoshop, and some AMD command line tools you can use.

EDITING THE TEXTURES
1) Open the texture files with your program of choice until you find the one you want to edit
	(some texture files contain a strange blue/purpleish version of a regular texture, these are the mapping files)
	(as far as I know, RGB are the normals and the alpha channel is the specular mapping, but I'm not 100% sure)
2) Make whatever changes to the textures that you want, apart from resizing the texture
3) When saving them / converting them back to DDS, make sure you save them in the correct DDS format
	(DXT1, DXT3, DXT5, A8B8G8R8 are the only ones I've seen)
	(you can check which format a DDS file is by opening it with Windows Texture Viewer, the format will be on the bottom left)
4) You also have to make sure you generate new mipmaps when saving / converting, or the texture will only work up close

IMPORTING THE TEXTURES
1) Copy all the modified .dds files into the same folder as the model.nut
	(make sure all of the .dds files have the same name as they did originally)
2) Run the "EasyInject" bat file
3) Copy the model.nut back into the original skin folder it came from
4) Add the edited skin folder into Sm4shexplorer using the instructions for downloaded mods

You're now done, you've made a texture edit! If you want to also edit the CSPs, they're located in ui -> replace -> chr (with DLC character CSPs located in ui - replace -> append -> chr), and they're all .nut files so they can be edited in mostly the same way. The folders are named as such:
chr_00 - Battle Portrait
chr_10 - CSS Icon
chr_11 - Results Screen Portrait
chr_12 - CSS Portrait (blurred version that zooms in from the right)
chr_13 - CSS Portrait
stock_90 - Stock Icon
Have fun modding!
