About the death area: It is an area that, when entered, kills Mario. Like when he falls into the void. You can see the area of effect if you click settings, show area size.

The name: Names are stored in MSBT files. You can extract them using WiiExplorer and edit them with Nuntius Novus. The filepath for level names are
/LocalizeData/UsEnglish/SystemMessage.arc/GalaxyName.msbt
/LocalizeData/UsEnglish/SystemMessage.arc/GalaxyNameShort.msbt

Follow the porting tutorial on this forum. It shouldn't be hard to find.

Tell them stuff about in the level, like:
2) The debug screen doesn't appear even when it's enabled. This means the game is trying to load something but can't because it's missing or too large. This happens most when custom models are used that have too many triangles/polygons or use too many or too large textures. A nice rule of thumb I use: never have a model with more than 55,000 polygons and textures no larger than 256 by 256 pixels large (any size larger than that is unnecessary due to the Wii's low resolution.)

Hope this helps! :)


Do you know the rendering limits of SMG2 please, what is the maximum limit for textures count and do you have already done some tests ? Thanks in advance.

I've done a few tests. For one, when I first tried to make my Wuhu Island Galaxy, the game crashed multiple times. So I edited down the model to about 57,000 triangles and had the equivalent of 9 256x256 pixel textures. At that point it stopped crashing, so I think that is the upper threshold for custom models.

This limit could however be stretched a bit by yaz-0 compressing all of the textures, which should give some more room for about 4 to 7 more 256x256 textures. However, I have found no tutorial on how to do that though, so either I will find out myself or request someone to find out.

Yep. Compressing. The thing I never understand about SMG2 hacking. Oh great... xD
