...Oh. Should I've included the actual level? My bad...

Yeah, pretty much. Not a huge problem, and one that can easily be fixed.

...Of course it can be easily fixed. Just come back in an hour and I (hopefully) have a video showing some level gameplay as well!

Except I can't just come back in an hour. _{^{_{^{This is why I hate time zones}}}} Probably tomorrow, though!

Wut... what the h... Couldn't you select any stars or what happened?

I can select any Star EXPECT for the Green Star on the top row (just like the annotations said). The Gearmo gives you that Green Star after completing the crate-burning challenge. If you collect Green Star 2 (the one near the normal Star in the level), the game tells you that you got the hidden star. It's a really strange... discovery I made...

Then perhaps it belongs in the discoveries thread!

...IDK what "it" is, but whatever...

Did you not look at the video I posted? "It" is me swapping the "IDs" of Green Star 2 and the hidden Star in the Rightside Down Galaxy.

Yeah...I figured it was something like that, but I really couldn't tell for sure, given that you really didn't show anything but the stars, which AFAIK could've been an object swap. Geez, sorry for not understanding information I wasn't given.

Well, here is a video showing gameplay with the strange Star menu from earlier: http://youtu.be/j65YO41xqEU (turn annotations on)! Also, sorry that the Stars are transparent... Can't fix that issue!

It sounds like if you had messed with the PowerStarID in the Scenario file. That's the only other time something like that has happened.

The PowerStarIDs are unaffected... All I did was change which Star had a "PowerStarAppearObj" (the one used for the crate-burning minigame).

I realize, I'm making a relation as to how something similar has happened in the past when messing around with the IDs

The PowerStarID or the PowerStarAppearObj (from the BCSV editor)??? (Just making sure we are talking about the same thing here.)

PowerStarID. It's a hardcoded piece of shit, don't touch it or you will regret doing so.

...you asked me. I hope you notice.
There isn't the need to shout, because you asked me which ID he was talking about, and I said PowerStarID because that's a value you shouldn't touch.

I wasn't even talking about the little discovery you made, either.

I'm simply pointing out how similar it is to something else to point out a possible cause of how it works in the code. Nothing more, nothing less. I never said you edited the PowerStarID.

...Anyways... Sorry for the yelling... But is there any way to make the Green Star on the top row clickable?

lolno, I don't even know what's going on in the code (since that's where it's happening, there's no file editing you can do to fix this), that'd take a lot more research.

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I have another question...

When I create the Riivolution file in order to use my "hack", the file can read the StageData folder correctly... but how do I make the Riivolution file read the LocalizeDate file that I edited...?

Here is what my Riivolution file looks like:

What am I missing?

Uh...I'm not sure about this, but using

instead of

<folder external="/SuperMarioGalaxy2/LocalizeData/UsEnglish" disc="/LocalizeData/UsEnglish"/>
<folder external="/SuperMarioGalaxy2/LocalizeData/UsFrench" disc="/LocalizeData/UsFrench"/>
<folder external="/SuperMarioGalaxy2/LocalizeData/UsSpanish" disc="/LocalizeData/UsSpanish"/>

might help, or it might not, as would checking EVERYTHING for typos and other mistakes.

Hmm...I'm not sure. As far as I can tell, you don't seem to be missing anything. Send me the XML and the files you're trying to load, and I'll take a look and see if there's anything wrong.

Here you go:
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B0pwLVSsqDpbMmZKZE9PRjRBSVU

This contains the LocalizeData folder and the XML that I'm trying to use.
(NOTE: The StageData folder is not included, because it works all the time...)

Hmm...nothing seems out of place...unless of course you, say, forgot to add the modified files or forgot to save your changes or some silly little mistake like that, but I did notice that in the XML you used

which could affect region-specific files (I doubt it, but no loss in trying). I usually use

instead. Wait...you are running an NTSC-U version of the game, right?
