So not to long ago I made this, all it is is an aesthetic change nothing else



I also restored some of the poltergust's beta nozzles as well as the beta flashlight

Wow! Good job! I have one question though; is it possible to replace the current Luigi model with a more recent one? (ex. Super Mario Sluggers, Super Mario Galaxy)

nope, not yet anyway. the issue with that is luigi is a .mdl, the beta poltergust's model was already in game (it was missing some animations though), but I have imported a custom model into LM, albeit i replaced bmds, its still something though
custom models here

is there a yay0 decoder/encoder yet? That's the big thing.

Yes, but its not mine to give away. A friend of mine made it and doesn't want me to give it out, and thats that. Edit also how do you think I did all of this, hex editing?

Whatever you want to call it go ahead, I didnt say not to give it away the person who made it did. dont shoot the messenger.

Dont worry about it, also he's a nice guy, he's just really anal about people stealing his work, even though I told him it most likely be stolen this time Also you cant really do jack shit with a yay0 compressor, you cant edit rooms or area layouts, all you can do is model swapping because the tools are not there for everything else yet

A solution would be to put his name in the tool.

And keep it closed source if he's really wary, but I think closed-source tends to also hinder progress in ROM hacking. Good documentation can compensate the lack of source code, though.

I've explained all this to him and he still doesnt want it given out.

Honestly I dont know if any of this will change his mind, hes the hardest headed person i've ever met, once hes makes a decision its unlikely he will change his mind. also as I mentioned earlier, there is no room editing, the bin files are still as mysterious as ever and our research hast turned up anything, which makes the yay0 compressor virtually useless for anything other than swapping model that are already in the game (.mdls anyway, the few bmd's can be edited but not much). Edit: the one thing we know about the bin files is that they seem to be a packed file type, thats all we know and its only a hunch, but considering other things in the game that would support it, its likely. Edit 2: and on another side note you dont need the yay0 compressor to edit the bin files where rooms are held they are in uncompressed folders in the iso so all you need to do is rebuild the iso for room editing, making the yay0 encoder even more useless

Try to google the gamecube .mdl model format, probably another game uses it and somebody would have decrypted it.

You do know that a python script was already made for it, right?

:I OK, i didn't knew that, it's posible to port a new luigi model?

Like I said earlier, no it isnt, we have mdl2obj but we dont have obj2mdl which is what we need.
