Just a little extra info. To modify the files i suggest making a backup of your metroid game via wii and then using wiiscrubber to access files. All the numbered files are *.brres and can be opened with brawlbox or SZS modifier (preferred) with that you can export textures and import them. I suggest you use riivolution for patches or you can just modify the iso and load it from a hard drive. Ill gladly try to help anyone who wishes to try this but i can't guarantee that i will be able to aid much.

Wow, that was quick!
Well, aside from the inward-facing parts of the suit not being yellow, it's nice to see. You definitely picked the perfect shade of purple.

Thanks, Still gotta rummage through all the files (there are approx 5000 unmarked archives which I gotta go through) to find the effects (different beam textures) and as for editing the gun and glow ill get around to it, Still need to work some photoshop magic to make a decent texture for the models.

[Infinity's End]

love the music choice: Lillium from Elfen Lied. Anyway, be sure to come back when you got her all cleaned up! Looks great so far.

[iHaxU]

Thanks, Found out where the visor and model textures are. Now all I need is to test that and figure out the odd bump maps. Id gladly listen to requests (as I can rarely come up with good concepts myself) as to what color to make her. Anyhow ill post updates on this forum.

[The Illusion]

What we need is are Phazon Suit colors, or maybe Dark Suit. Something badass.

[1upD]

That doesn't actually replace the gravity suit, does it? Minus the entire suit being purple, then it would be awesome. You could probably make Dark Samus or Houston this way.

I remember in one of the Sakamoto interviews he said that Other M barely fit on a dual layer disk, and yet it's filled with all these useless goodies (such as the cut scene models). Why does that stuff need to be on the disk?

Actually the high resolution models are used for the real time movie scenes in which the camera gets closer to the model. The actual cutscenes are pre-rendered and stored in sofdec format (which is a pain because nobody has made a decoder for v3.0)

Also i was planning on making a phazon suit texture the only thing is that i'm not gonna edit the model to make it more bulky (for houston perhaps) nor am i gonna be able to make a bump map to make the shoulders look right on the phazon suit. Otherwise things should go smoothly... i hope.

The Phazon suit has different shoulders?

Houston with a woman's voice would be pretty wierd, now that I think about it.

[The Illusion]

Um, are you thinking of the PED suit? The phazon suit is the final suit from prime, it's proportions are the same as the Varia and Gravity suits.

[iHaxU]

This is the suit im referring to: (the curves that stick out of the shoulders)

I'm pretty sure that those are the same as with the Varia and Gravity suit, they just look bigger in that picture. I do think it's strange that Other M removed the fins on Samus' pauldrons, they've been there since Metroid II.

[The Illusion]

Yeah, that's just the old style of the suits (aside from the visor, I think Metroid Prime 1 had the most faithful transition to 3D in terms of Power Suit style).

Still, if you can do that, I just might touch Other M again.

[iHaxU]

Whew, done more or less. It looks more like the phazon suit from mp1 (since i didn't add the blueish streaks to the gun) Though I believe it looks fine anyhow. Ill post some pics and a video this afternoon. Perhaps ill also post a patcher to modify the files for you. Anyhow, im off for now.
