StageStudio: PC version of Brawl's Stage Builder

StageStudio is a PC version of the Super Smash Bros Brawl's Stage Builder editor.

Not taking into account it's (naturally better) controls when using your keyboard to type and your mouse to move and build pieces, it also allows you to:

• Save and modify stages you stored in your computer
• Build up to 252 pieces as opposed to Brawl's "Framerate friendly" 50-piece limit
• Place objects outside the grid limit
• Choose where each player will respawn
• Choose your own display image for the stage
• Select the "Beta Block", a slighty-rounded slope that was not added into the final version of Stage Builder for some reason. Be warned, through, being a Beta piece, It'll make your Wii freeze if you hover the cursor above it!
• Select songs that are not avaiable in the game's song select list but can be heard in the Sound Test screen (the "Cruel Brawl" song, for example).
• And much, much more!

Here are some screens:

Totally grabbing this. Maybe I'll actually make stages now... <<;

This looks totally awesome, and i might have to try it.

..How would you get the stages onto Brawl?

1) SD card into PC.
2) Stage onto SD card.
3) SD card into Wii (take out of PC first).
4) ???
5) Profit

I was really hoping for custom background support.
What the pipe dream.

But for what it is, this is really really nice.
Be sure to make your own spawn points when using this, and to not let it select defaults. They usually with screw up respawns.

Now SOMEONE NEEDS TO HACK THE GAME TO MAKE A SERVER BROWSER WITH CUSTOM MAP SUPPORT

This is cool though

Could someone convert to a .zip, please? I can't download .rar files.

yes you can, you can download any type of file you want

Hell designated spawn makes me happy. Definitely trying.

You. Are. Awesome. Thanks, man!

Wait if there is no block and size limit...

Can we make really large levels that will WORK in brawl?

Well, not so large that it's ridiculous. I'm sure something really huge will barely work.

Wait. There IS size limit, since I believe blocks of different sizes are actually different objects/models rather than resized originals, but you can place them wherever you want. It makes that stupid additional free space above itens like springs and spike traps pretty much obsolete. Plus, if you turn Grid Limit off, you can place these rather useless free spaces and almost half of your block (depending on it's size) outside the editor's grid. It also let's you place blocks right above blocks, so, say, you could place a normal block and an ice block in the same space, or a normal block and a spike trap one above the other, on the same space. (I wonder how it would look like in-game, through).
For example, you can see this stage I did, there are normal blocks and treadmill objetcs on the same space.


Of course, it's recommended that you do everything on the PC studio so you don't need to get into the in-game builder, since it could end up resetting blocks to fixed grid positions or even freezing up the Wii.

Wish somebody could break the size limit.

Because I want to make platforming levels.

I have to agree with this

Well, I don't think there would be a way to make this possible since the only reason you choose a size for the stage is to set how far the KO border should be placed. Even if we could break the size limit, the closest thing we would be able to make is something like Melee's Onett, with floor and walls even past the stage borders (althrough I would also love it if I could do that). The KO Borders are already set when you choose the stage size, so there would be virtually no way to make the stage's borders farther than they originally are.
I could think on a ultra hack mod-thing that could mod the game so you make stages as big as you want or even scrooling ones. But a hack like that would probably be able to make things like auto-center the screen on stages like Mushroomy Kingdom (don't scroll automatically) or scroll it whichever way you want, for example, since it also messes with screen limits and scrolling. The thing is, if a scrolling hack like this already does sounds impossible enough, it would be even harder to force the game place borders farther in the Stage Builder.
So, yeah, I don't think we could possibly make that, even with hacks.

...However you should keep tuned in that Brawl+ hack since they look like they could end up making something like that very soon.

So... has anyone actually PUT a stage from this into Brawl?

what if someone edits a stage made in here in brawl's stage creator?
