I've just had a brainstorm.
I want to create a special type of coin. It will be a green coin. I will hide one in each level in a certain act. When the player picks up the green coin, he gets a star.
Several questions:
1) How would I create this new object?
2) How would I assign it the green colour?
3) How would I assign it the coin animation?
4) Is there a way to colour the act star green without colouring any of the others? It'd be better than going over every pixel of land in every act.
5) How would I increase the amount of stars the doors/cannon need? Adding in more stars increases the completion rate.
Hope you guys can help! This would be a great way to put some use in the extra stars.

1) Can't. Doing so would require creating a new behaviour (something I also want to do). Unless you know a bit about SM64 coding it's not possible.
2) I'm sure it's included within the coin behaviour.
3) Just choose the coin as a model. The spinning animation is done from elsewhere in the ROM.
4) No idea.
5) Increasing the amount of stars needed for star doors makes the messages when you open them change.
The 1th,3th,8th,30th,50th and the 70th star door have a different message for each when you try to open them without enough stars.
If I wanted to make, lets say, a door which needs 25 stars, the message would change to "You need a key to open this door". Same goes for all other values other than 1,2,3,8,39,50 and 70. To change the stars needed, just change b.param 1 to the value you desire.

Oh. Well, if I can't do 1, then I can't do the entire green coin without overwriting the other coins. Nuts.
EDIT: Well, wouldn't it be possible to just copy the object and assign it the star behaviour? That should work.

To change the signpost message, you need to use Text Wrangler, which is a seperate program from TT64, but works with it. Open Text Wrangler, choose the message that you want to change, change it and then hit the SAVE button. If you don't save, then it isn't changed on the ROM.

Hopefully this is in the right area, as it isnt JUST TT64 right?
I'm having trouble making a ppf patch, I've got the patch made "obj_import6.ppf" but it's 0 bytes and I can't seem to figure out what to do with it, as everything I do seems to give me an error. 
I have a feeling it will be something blatantly obvious and I dont mean to waste peoples time.

Is it possible to get act-dependant spawn positions? I'd like to create several levels in one but have Mario spawn in different positions.

Sure, that's possible.
Create 6 different "Mario Start 1" objects and place them wherever you want.
Then actvate them each for a different act.

Ah, cool. I would've tested it myself, but I've been messing around with water boxes.
I've imported a new level and over-written Whomp's Fortress. Now, for some reason, everytime I die I end up at the Bob-Omb Battlefield painting. What's wrong?

That's because the death and success warps leads to respectively "Inside Castle>1>100" and "Inside Castle>1>50" right?
These destinations are those from which Mario exits the BOB painting. Change them to the wanted destination.
Also, notice that the warp ID of the "Inside Castle>1>100" is 241 and the warp ID of "Inside Castle>1>50" is 240.
These warp ID's is reserved for when Mario dies or get a star:
240 for successful exit
241 for death recovery exit

Then I'll do my best:
I'm assuming you list looks something like this:
The warps of importance in your case is these:
Inside Castle>1>50 looks like this:
Change this to whatever location you want Mario to appear in when he gets a star.
Notice that Warp ID is 240? That ID is reserved for when Mario gets a star.
Inside Castle>1>100 looks like this:
Change this to whatever location you want Mario to appear in when he dies.
Notice Warp ID = 241? That ID is reserved for when Mario dies.
And there you have it.

Is their a way to show this area in TT64?
If their is not currently a way to show this area in TT64, then is their a way to find the position co-ordernates in-game so I can just type it into TT64. This problem is case for all my levels and some are so bad I cant even see most of it in the editor |

You open the ROM with Text Wrangler, edit the text, click the SAVE button and then all of the changes are in the ROM. Next time you play the game, it'll come up with the alternate text.
