You know what you should do next? All Starbits are Luigi!

I do have three other planets modelled, technically two, one is needs a few changes. I don't know if I can texture many other planets. I would love to help, but Im going to be in a position in which I don't have access to a windows computer or a wii, so under normal circumstances I could help, but it's a bit hard at the moment. I will be, in three weeks time, be able to texture some again. Ill see if I can bring a computer along though. I think there is a Mac version of blender though so maybe, I can help after all.

Okay, so I was talking to SunakazeKun over PM about Blue Star Chips, and apparently they were deprecated in SMG2. When I did the test for them, all I did was check to make sure the level loaded, I didn't actually go to check it (mistake number 1) and so when I spread all this info that it worked and was really simple I was actually really wrong and didn't know (mistake number 2) so my bad.

That being said, it /MIGHT/ be possible to get them working again with a small ASM hack to redirect the blue chip code to yellow chip so it loads the model and gui for the counter and everything (or just copypasta the bytecode to the function for it) but that would still take quite a bit of research, it's on about the same level as the powerups in terms of difficulty.

As for Cosmic Mario Races, as far as I know they're deprecated too, I did a bunch of messing around with it, the comet loads like a normal star (minus the comet animation at the star select screen) which means the comet value itself in the scenario file is deprecated, not to mention my trigger to start the race did nothing either (so ghostplayer and everything is deprecated too).

This would take a LOT LOT LOT of work to get working because since it's directly porting code from SMG1 to SMG2 (not to mention quite a bit of it, we have to find a place to write all this code to so it doesn't overwrite and break other code) we have to find and understand all the addresses it's pointing to with the vtable and everything, so with the current motivation and skill level I put this at a zero for ever happening.

I wasn't saying you didn't know how it worked, lol. I was just telling Splitz that that part is easy, the ASM is the utter pain in the ass.

BLUE STAR CHIPS WORK DIFFERENTLY.

Not everything is just a copypasta, y'know.

Posted by Luigi

We aren't replacing yellow ones. We're making a new object for it.

Posted by NWPlayer123

We want to minimize replacing other objects as much as possible so it's compatible with other levels, because if they replace the same object you can have one or the other. Simple logic

Thank you. I forgot to place the falling meteors. ^-^

We should really start creating a big index for these end things. Of course there's the object DB, but things like this should be written somewhere.

"mandatory file patches" already exists, just look at the ObjectData section.

Posted by Luigi

Isn't it common sense that you can't just add an object in from another game without adding it's files

So uh, yeah. That explains it.

Posted by Luigi

uh, what? You need to have the Mario model and red star model.

>gecko code

We didn't use the gecko code. ASM was what we did.

Posted by Luigi

No shit Ice Mario isn't present on the disc.

Also, gecko codes are annoying and you can't build custom levels with gecko codes on, usually. But also, once again, it's common sense that if the files aren't there, it won't work.

Trying to not act like staff but uh, can we get back to discoveries rather than gecko codes..? :<

Posted by SunakazeKun

No, the round things with spikes.
You can kill them with this drill-like enemy called topman.

Posted by SunakazeKun

It's not only custom galaxies. There are new things. And I'm also known as Aurum.

Posted by SunakazeKun

I only add enemies which have code in SMG2 (like Ice Swoopers or Shoal Urchins).

Posted by SunakazeKun

The Shoal Urchins are a special variant without the water particles.

I know how to add objects to the ProductBlargTable, but I don't know how to model.
