So, I made a level using 2.1 and found a bug. Seems to also apply to the version in the post above.
Here's the situation: I have a Bob-omb Buddy on Star 4. I want to place a JARIUSHI_L (arrow sign) on Star 2. When I do that, the Bob-omb Buddy on Star 4 gets removed from the list, and a Star 4 JARIUSHI_L is placed in the level instead. I think the Bob-Omb Buddy is the last on the object list, by the way. If you need the ROM Patch to test this out, just drop a line on PM  |

Here's a bunch that I did today:
14 - Giant Rolling Rock Param 1: X - Star ID Note that if a Star Marker with Star ID specified isn't in the level, the star won't spawn. -------------------------------------------------------------------- X00 - Spawn many, rolling, without a star, while player isn't close.

Should probably also add to the above that it seems some models just refuse to open in the editor. One example are the VRboxes (i.e backgrounds) which just crash it, making it impossible to retex them as well.
There's also some other bugs I've been running into, like - The additional patches menu just crashes every time for some reason - Import a model and close the importer.If you then try to open it back up and import a second model, it will fail to show the import preview - The editor has problems importing textures that are not 32x32. They render fine in the editor, but then are screwed up in-game. - Either the views are too complex for their own good, the editor creates malformed ones, or they actually have more data editable. Making a view crashes the game every. single. time, even if you copy all of the settings exactly. The editor's certainly improved a lot, though, to the point where level creation is rather enjoyable. So, props. |

Posted by Fiachra US V 1.0 ROM, any VRbox. Here's, uh, the error produced, not sure if it's any good or not: Posted by Fiachra I'm using the latest version, directly taken from your download. Again, possibly useless error: Posted by Fiachra Actually, it behaved bugged out before as well, but differently; before, it didn't clear out the preview and you could just see it again. Posted by Fiachra Thing is, this was with 64x64 textures, taken from NSMBDS (some paths). Changing them to 32x32 fixed them. So...yeah. This doesn't appear to be wrong until you try to specifically map them (like the paths). And, again, they appear correctly in the editor itself, just that the game renders them completely differently. BTW, did you find out why that Bob-omb Buddy bug's been happening? I ran into this when making a different level, except this time the Bomb Buddies were getting replaced with PLAYER actors :/ |

...Well. I tried it right now, and, of course, it worked correctly this time. Can't make it do what it was doing before...
Not sure what to say to that. Either way, though; if this is indeed something that mucks up because of the issues you listed, could you make the editor warn the user about this? Or render it like the DS would, but...probably undoable. Also, heh, running about in the editor reminded me of two things more: - Maybe this isn't a bug with the editor and is actually wrong in-game data but...the animation data for Goomboss Battle Map seems to be output wrong? Shows only one frame on the list, but then also says there's supposed to be 181. The one in the Goomboss Battle Fight is right, so...uh. Sorry to report so many things at once, by the way. |

Oh boy, 'ts me again:
Um, the messages corrupted on me for some reason. Here's the bin... https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-HeBvPjqJ74WHdsSlBtVmI4cTg/edit?usp=sharing Not sure how many corrupted, but the "COMPLETE" message is (for instance, try clearing the Goomboss Battle) |

Well, as far as feature requests go, I also have a "few":
- Ability to duplicate item across select stars (or, at least, across all stars) - Ability to search for message in the text editor (or, at least, make it output the IDs in the xml as well, so you can search for them in the xml) - Ability to move the entire level around (map polygons, collision and all objects, views, maps, exits, etc) - In the KCL editor, ability to click on faces to select them And, uh, some more...advanced ones - Copy paste (yeah, seen this coming, probably) - Ability to save entire level into some file and import it back (between versions, as well) - Better integration of the Object DB. Should replace "PARAM 1" etc with stuff from DB (and, say, hover over the field to get a futher comment about what this setting does). See: Reggie Level editor, NSMBe, etc. |

Yes, but, see, the problem arises if you want the object to appear in all stars but one or something. Then you have to add 6 objects, copy the values to each one, and it takes quite a while.
If you could duplicate the object 7 times and just have the star number different on each one, then you could just erase the ones from the star(s) you don't want them to appear on. |

Lots of bugs in the Texture Editor, still:
1. Deleting the first value causes the editor to change the "Start index" field to FFFF and then crash every time you click on a node. 2. Removing nodes doesn't work properly. If you add an animation and then remove it, then repeat that a few times, eventually, you'll get a "run out of space in this level" message. 3. It either orders frames wrong, or just displays them incorrectly: Here's the order of frames I have atm in one of the animations:
etc. This was generated from Start at 2 and end at 0. And it works as expected in-game. Also, while the "generate" button does work, but you should add an option to "replace current". Otherwise, you can't make a loop from, say, 0 to x, since it'll just add it on top of your Starting Index, usually ending in two "0" frames, and you have to remove one. Not a big deal, but when you put it together with bug 3 (i.e not always sure which frame is the first one) it becomes annoying. |

By the way...
Has anyone tried this on an actual DS? Desmume, for instance, sometimes lies a bit and will show the level fine (unless you put in there something outrageously hi-poly, I guess), but when you try the levels on hardware polygons start just disappearing everywhere. |

Posted by Stomatol Yeah, thing is, if you were to now add objects to the level they would start disappearing in a similar fashion. Not a big deal for this project, but people making levels should keep in mind that Desmume won't show this and that the poly limit is lower than what these levels have. |

Some more:
MOTHER PENGUIN - 158 Param 1: Star ID Special note: Its position in the level affects where she looks down at player; level needs to be high enough or low enough so it looks right. PENGUIN_BABY 157 Param 1: 0 - Real 1 - Fake FLOATING LAVA GRATE 246 Param 1: XYZ X -? Y - Start Moving 0 - From level start 1 - When touched Z - Path ID LAVA - 143 Adds a 'popping lava bubbles' effect to each plane with either LETHAL LAVA or LETHAL ICE collision applied. Also, while there; LETHAL ICE and LETHAL LAVA are switched in the CLPS editor list. Plus, some more entries: WOOD - 197 47 3 1 255 0 0 0 CREAKY WOOD FLOOR - 197 63 4 0 255 0 0 0 ICE - 199 207 0 0 255 0 0 0 WARP TO CASTLE LOBBY - 197 14 3 0 255 0 0 0 EDIT: Also, Entrance/Exit settings: ENTRANCES: Param 1: This lets you spawn as other actors and messes up the map. Param 3: Starting Rotation Param 5: Extra settings: XYZ X - Entrance mode 0: Normal 1: Wingcap 2, 3: Fall in 4: Like coming out of level painting, lets you save, sums up last level entered 5: Spin in 6: Like 4, but shorter distance travelled Y: View ID? Z: ??? EXITS: XXYZ XX - Exit size. Y - Mode (lets you set sounds and effects done when exit is activated) Z - What to do if player dies in destination level: 1 - Return to source level with 1 health at origin coords. F - Return to castle via level painting. |

Well, sorry to double post, but, uh, yeah.
Another bug, yay. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4558852/overlay9_114.bin This replaces Cool Cool Mountain Slide's overlay (114), USv1 ROM. There's currently a 1UP on Stars 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 there. The one on star 7 should be on Star 2. If I try to change it into that (or, in fact, do anything to it), not only does it not save (albeit it appears at first that it does - if you close the level and then open again, you'll see it didn't), but also it completely corrupts the level and you're not able to save anything after that, as well as view items on Star 7. So...yeah. :/ |

Uh, steps, okay...
1. Add an animation to a level that already has at least one, set matname 2. Generate a translation sequence 3. Remove Translation value 0 Start point should jump to 65535 and the effects listed above.
Alright, but, say, will it then fix the levels that are already broken? |

I'll go ahead and say I myself would love to see and even make a Mario Galaxy hack, but it's sort of inconceivable due to the state the tools and documentation are in right now.
Also, I can't model for shit. |

Also, a lot of the MKWii stuff is absolute crap anyway in terms of playability and visuals. You guys were trying to create a playable, nice-looking game with Wii quality models.
I mean, take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S-3q3K9-cQ Anyone would be able to model that up and stick a CPU path on it. And for Galaxy; you'd probably be able to spew out a ton of crappy levels quickly too. |

So, semi-music documentation here.
1. We have 3 bytes editable in the editor. Byte 1, byte 2 and byte 3 (which we know is the SSEQ ID, where eg. 10 (Decimal ID 16) = NCS_BGM_MINIVOCAL) These values are loaded into the ARM9 memory at 0x02143C1C (US ROM v1) if you need to find some specific configuration or something. 2. Byte 1 is multiplied by 4, then 4 is added to it, and that is added to 11A4. Out comes the address in info.bin, which is in the SDAT. Look there, you get a reversed address (i.e if "441A" is there, the address is "0x1A44") of the SWAR entries table, also in info.bin So, the SWAR entries table consists of values like this: 0a is the beginning of a new entry table. Seems like this can be 0d and others too, not sure what this does. Next line we have...also not sure. "02 04" That's most likely the SSAR IDs or something, but honestly, no clue. Next line, however is the SWAR ID (where, eg. 31 (So decimal ID 50) = CS_WAVE_BGM_RESIDENT). Then, it repeats. To have music playing in a level, you need to make Byte 1 point to a table in the info.bin which contains ALL of the "dependencies" a particular music piece has. For instance, for the Peach's Castle (NCS_BGM_SHIRO), that would be NCS_WAVE_BGM_SHIRO and NCS_WAVE_BGM_RESIDENT (You can find this out with VGMTrans or something). If both of those are not in the SWAR table pointed at by Byte 1, you get silence. And indeed, if we look at the SWAR table in the info.bin (Byte 1 = 3, 3*4+4=16, info.bin at 11B4 has "6c 13", so the SWAR table is at 0x136c), it contains (as the two first entries, no less), well, this:
And, indeed, this same table also loads in sound effects. So there. So, you can have it load whatever you want. It seems to be really, really picky when it comes to Sound effects, though, so be careful there. Perhaps SFX also depends on... 3. Byte 2 is the SBNK ID. This allows further control of SFX, but no idea exactly how. Yay. |
