What this program does is extracts various important components of the game. Currently this includes levels, sequences, instruments, textures and sprites. Planned features include sound effects and backgrounds.

Edited link for new utility.

Nice to see progress on the game!

I wonder, how close is a level editor/importer/whatever close to be?

SMBJR would be a nice start to mod the series, since it focuses on making simple yet effective levels.

I can't make an importer because the game uses procedural geometry generated from heightmapped tiles, also due to this I don't know how an editor would look... I can make a basic 3D rendering engine if need be, I know how to rasterize triangles (a lost art I might add).

Also I agree, it would not only be easy to mod but would run on the computer, Dolphin requires uber modern hardware, VBA is uber fast.

I see... Well, if I understood correctly, the vertexes are defined with coordinates and the the game renders them? If so, then yeah, the editor would need to render them, but I wouldn't mind going the old way and just seeing the numbers.

Oh and I dunno about that. I have a wii with homebrew and Nintendont, so testing would be easy and awesome, since I would be playing it drectly.

I could do numbers easily, I'd have to include documentation though. Also, they're compressed, and I can't find the offsets, so there is a size limit.

(SORRY ABOUT SO MANY POSTS!)

30 MAR 2016:
Documented the file format finally! https://www.dropbox.com/s/8vbbtu55lhz32dr/jrlvlfrmt.txt?dl=0

1 APR 2016:
GUESS WHAT I FOUND!

ThE tAbLe Of OfFsEtS!



No more external files!

[EDIT] Changed original URL.

4 APR 2016:
I found out that I can expand the size of the ROM and change the pointers, then insert custom data at the pointer location to avoid overwriting existing data.

Nice!

I wonder, will (or is there is) a tutorial on hwo to make custom stages?

Even if SMBJR is limited, I am still willing to do a full hack.

Not currently, mostly requires hex editing ATM, and the binary for each stage was hand made.

Last view: 2103 days ago 		I recommend you make an editor. This will make editing quite more easier.
