First Fortress
A whole new world is being added to Super Mario 64 DS! It will feature:
-One hub map, one level, a Mario stage and a final bowser stage
-New music
-14 Stars to collect

This is an early alpha, only includes the hub world, a Mario cap, and a door to the interior of peaches castle. The sizing is a little off and the fences are broken. I will update this post with changes often. This download will stay at this early alpha until I have the interior of the castle finished, and then i'll upload that.

Download

Use XDelta to patch. The rom you must use for patching is "0022 Super Mario 64 DS (EU)(M5)" Which is a european v1. Google the name and you should find it.

Here's a bit of footage of the Alpha Test!


The model used in the current video.

I don't understand why you posted that video, if it's a level you spent 2 minutes on and shows hardly anything, you didn't even remove the existing objects. If you're going to be asking people for feedback you need to show a bit more of what you want feedback on.
Feedback on the model used: the brick textures are way too small, it doesn't look good especially from a distance and will limit the amount/size of textures you can use without glitches/crashing.

I hope you make a nice level. The 2 minutes created world is not so nice!
You can it.....

How would I go about increasing the size of the textures?

Change the scale of the texture for those faces within Sketchup, I never use it though so don't how it works.

Right-click on a textured surface and click on Texture > Position.

I'd have posted but Fiachra pretty much summed up my thoughts.

Other than that, the design may be interesting. You need to make that level bigger. And get rid of those objects.

I've actually removed the objects, and plan to use this as a hub world, after some work to the model, i'll add a pipe and make it go directly to my level, just a quick thought, can I make custom blue coin switches? I'll most likely give 30 coins through that.

It is possible, check the SM64DS Object Database for more information.

I looked at the object database and don't really understand what it's saying. If there's anybody with experience in blue coin switches, please inform me how they work. Also, HUBs done! :D

Through some thought, I realized that I need a theme to base my level upon, since generic grassy plains is not ideal. Any suggestions for level themes?

Wood levels with giant blocks like in SMB3.

Can you give me a specific level/world, I've yet to beat smb3 and barely know anything about it.

Sorry for the off-topicness here, but how did you import over the castle grounds? It always crashes for me when I do that.

You have to remove all the existing animations from the level

By crashes, do you mean it makes a beeping sound and crashes the emu, or simply shows a white screen with no sound. If the latter, do what stomatol said. If the first, replace the file that you patched with sm64dse with the backup (or any backup) and import into that, if you mess with the minimap it will break it.

You should not need to use a clean ROM as mentioned above, if removing the texture animations doesn't work it could be you still have some objects but have changed the object bank settings, or you've removed a path object used by one of the objects, or your model has too many polygons and or textures. If you've messed up the minimap try just importing another image or if you need to, use NSMBe to put the originals back in. If you've changed or removed the minimal tile ID objects so they don't point to valid files change them back.

The import and export XML feature will allow you to make backups of a specific level and import that into a new ROM if you need to.

But...you can't. It doesn't import the views properly, and they become unfixable.
Not that this matters for this hack, evidently.
