Might want to fix the mouse wheel glitch... Using the mouse wheel on an object will not work properly.

Anyone know how to mod the Nintendo logo? And the castle bg above the file select. I tried using NSMBe to edit the power star icon, but it always messes up the character icons and power meter in-game.

Btw, the decimal ID for BGM_Resident is 49, not 50.

My level over the castle first floor works perfectly, except for when Mario enters, black sceen.

The music freezes too...

I get the same thing. It says they are not proper files. I went to the right adresses, dumped the correct size in hex, and converted them to binary files. Even after it not working, I LZCompressed the two files you are supposed to. Still nothing. Changing the settings did nothing.

And when trying to edit the paper textures for the title resources (In the DSMT folder then USA), the editor complains about unknown symbols.

And yes Fiachra, the hub menu works with all other characters. Do I need to have the CG1 lightbeam? It could be a possibility. EDIT: It's not. Mario still crashes the game with the lightbeam placed properly. It also cannot be the warp Mario takes either, as exiting a course still crashes the game unlike with other characters. Newer EDIT: SOLVED, SOLVED SOLVED! I spent a half to an hour figuring out, but it turns out that Entrance 15 must be set to 720 for whatever reason. And Entrance 0 must be set to 0 as well. IDK why the game was so picky about this, but whatever. EDIT EDIT EDIT: Mario also seems to spawn with a Wingcap in a different level setup. This might kind of explain the crashing? Maybe Mario can't have a Wingcap to start in CG1? Who knows why. Anyways, I'll keep experimenting with Entrances until I figure out all 16 types/modes.

I made a tool to tell you the parameters to special objects like entrances, exits, teleports, and views. It's useful for people who like GUIs and prefer not to look at documentation.


Features:

• Always on top option, so you can use it and SM64DSe at the same time.
• Fully documented entrance types.
• Helpful tips for beginners.
• Easy-to-use interface, mostly because I'm a really lazy coder.
• Easier to set up pipes.
• Does all the math and calculations for you.
• Supports other objects like views, teleport sources, type 14, and exits.

I figured out entrance modes 0-15:


Seems to repeat after 15 (Based on testing modes 16 and 17).

All of these were tested for every character. I made the different entrances in the general test map.

I used numbers instead of the binary representations.

Welcome to the SM64DS hacking scene!

I make a whole bunch of tutorials explaining stuff on my youtube.

You can find the playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cYzCjjo1BE&list=PLqLbHe4NpIb5T7evcOl9dll23HC8-i9QT

For questions, ask in the editor help thread or the SM64DS discord.

I tried those, but it still didn't work. Can you send your hex or bin files so I can see where I made a mistake?

IDK how hard it would be. I use an older version of the editor, since the new one always acts buggy for me. Although the new one probably has a parameter reference. But for entrances, something like my tool would have to be other than a parameter reference. IDK how the editor works.

A cool feature would be placing coin lines. Since coins are usually .15 apart, would it be possible to generate a coin line from a coin object? It's a pain to place them.

How can I find the correct material name to apply the correct texture animations? The Texture and BTP Editor doesn't give the material names correctly.

When replacing the texBank_U.bmd the editor says the keys are not given in the present dictionary. Is there any other way to edit this?

Also, I want to replace Obake with Staffroll. I replaced the Swav, sbnk, and sseq. I also used DSS to correct the Obake Bank to use the Resident and Obake banks. There is silence though...

What are these hidden maps?

Seems great this was finally figured out! I'd like to see this in the editor soon!

Having the Entrances Parameter 4 be simpler. The user can input the ViewID, the AreaID, and the Mode and have it create the hex automatically. Adding mibs' type 14 object in the game (star cameras). IDK what the sound editor is, or whatever, but it seems like something useful to be added.

Are there any other "secret" maps other than the Tox Box Test map, and the General Purpose test map?

I guess you can try to add things like shading. But I bet the ds could not handle all the polygons.
