I've been trying to change the name of Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor. I made sure to change all instances of the name in the BMG. I never delete/add characters, I only replace. The file is the same size. I have " and numbers in the name for test purposes, but I can't get it to work. Also I have been trying to use https://hexed.it and riivolution. (I have the riivolution patch file set to UsEnglish/MessageData. This contains the new Message.arc with the BMG and the 2 unchanged .tbl files) Can someone help me see what I'm doing wrong?

Could you send us the files you have modified? That way, we can see exactly what you changed and edited.

Do you even NEED to Hex Edit for this?

SMG1 is very different than SMG2. But I don't think you need to hex edit for this.

Everywhere I read tells me I need a hex editor for SMG1. How else would I edit the BMG? I haven't tried a text editor, but I doubt it will open.

Does SMG1 have MSBT? I need to check that.

Isn't there a BMG editor somewhere?

I remember there being one...

IIRC DS games use BMGs and they are editable with MKDSCM. Dunno if they are the same as Wii BMGs tho.

There's no tool to edit BMG files in SMG1. You have to rely on hex-editing.

Phhhhfffffft. Is it because there's more "reactor"s and "bowsers" and "Jr.'s"s? I still dont get why this is still broken.

If Wii BMGs are the same as DS BMGs, try exporting the BMG, import it in a DS rom, edit it with MKDSCM, sage and then export it.

Maybe It's because there is more than one "bowser Jr.'s" and "reactor" in the file for different galaxies. Should those interfere with everything? Maybe the file is somehow changing in size?

I don't get it. I used Captain Grabbin' to extract the .arc, I was only able to extract it with WiiXplorer. I now used HxD to edit the BMG. I got the original BMG again, but this time tried to replace 1 letter for each "toy" (changed "toy"s to "tot") I used Aurum's patch template from here: https://kuribo64.net/board/thread.php?id=1605 I only added:

<folder create="true" recursive="true" disc=/UsEnglish/MessageData" external="/smg1/UsEnglish/MessageData"/>

but it still soft locks! How even.

Super Mario Galaxy is a finicky game. Stupid, am I right? It's probably hardcoded into place. The game expects it to be a certain name or it goes nuts. If it might be of any use, edit the name of the galaxy you wish to change in the *.DOL file; that might work. But I'd rather you not. Save yourself the trouble and port the galaxy and its planets to SMG2. It'll save you a lot of headache. Even better, just use that game only, importing from SMG1 as needed but using SMG2's engine.
