How about... Replace one at a time and see what causes the crash...

I still think it's the Comet medal thing, given that SMG1 doesn't even have comet medals.

...You could create a custom text box for Comet Medals...?

Have I not been clear that I'm not very good with the Wii Layout Editor?

Oh... Oops...

EDIT: I think I asked this before, but I never actually understood it... How do you add a new (functional) layer to a Galaxy?

Hmmm... I have another issue: I increased the game's Star count to 242 + 25 + 24 = 291... but the game crashes ON THE FILE SELECT SCREEN!!!

Can someone help me figure out why?

EDIT: My "hack" only crashes if I point to any of the files on the file select screen... Why?

Probably because you messed up editing text.

Oh, file select. I honestly have no idea what you did but you really messed up. What all did you edit?

No. It crashes on the file select screen when the world map fails to load correctly.

What I Edited
Added 25 Gold Power Stars (one in each two-Star galaxy)
Added 24 Green Stars (one in each two-Star galaxy)
Edited the BCSV files for the new Stars
Changed a few Speed-Run Comets to Daredevil-Comets
Edited the SystemMessage.ARC file to give names to the new Gold Power Stars

No. It crashes on the file select screen when the world map fails to load correctly.

But... I NEVER touched the World Map files at all while editing...

EDIT: Can someone tell me how to fix this crash?! (The game experienced no crashes yesterday... and I just want to release my hack to the public... so, please help me.)

That's what I'm saying, you probably screwed up SystemMessage. What did you use to edit it?

...I used Nuntius Novus to edit the SystemMessage.arc. Why?

EDIT: Here is the Debug Screen that appears when my hack crashes (on the File Select screen): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrUf_elPsaA&feature=youtu.be (Warning! Turn down your volume!)

I'm pretty sure I've asked this many times before, but...

How do you add a NEW LAYER to an EXISTING galaxy?

That's possible but darn hard to do. That's why I created my zone template which has all possible layers.

If I use the zone template... then would I recreate the existing galaxy...?

Use WiiExplorer to extract the files from a existing galaxy and replace the files in the zone template with them.

Other than the files I replaced, what about the files that already exist in the zone template? Should I just leave those alone?
