Hey,
I have not tried this yet, but I have heard of ways of importing that kind of stuff into Sketchup.
Sketchup CAN import and place (and export!  ) half-transparent textures, all the built-in wire mesh textures are built like that.
From experience, I know creating such a texture is possible using something like Photoshop, or paint.net, but I haven't imported one of such textures into Sketchup yet to see if it works.
So basically, I will tell you how to do it on Photoshop, since I have never used paint.net...but I assume the process is similar.
So what you need to to is open a new blank file in Photoshop. If the background looks checkered, it means it's transparent, (the background should be completely checkered ATM). Next, insert a layer overtop the background, and insert your texture on this layer. Then, using one of the select tools, remove all the areas you want to make transparent, by selecting them and deleting them. Finally, export your texture as a .png file.
This is where it gets iffy, since I've never tried it myself...(I'll do so tomorrow when I'm back on a PC)
Now, go to Sketchup, and import the .png texture. Apply it to the surface. The transparent areas SHOULD be transparent when you look through, if not you may need to decrease the alpha. (In the edit textures, I think.).
Now, export the .obj file, and import to SM64. It SHOULD work.
Hope this helps!
(Also, people, plz don't forget my previous questions  ) |

Alright, so I repeat my previous 3 questions, since they all got buried...
1. Adding new stars into a sm64 rom...does that involve hex editing? Because all stars I place in areas such as the castle grounds and inside the castle freeze when I collect them, and all stars placed within levels seem to link to other stars...if it's possible to add stars, how can I do so?
2. I stocked my substituted Castle Grounds level with a few warps, to go to different worlds. They are all linked properly, however, for whatever reason, they all warp to only one world (whichever world the first of my warps is linked to.) How can I fix this? (An error on my part? :/)
3. I have placed various items on my custom-made castle grounds substitution level, however certain items will not appear until I enter another level and exit back out...why is it doing this, and how can I fix it?
Thanks a lot for your help! |

I know one of those.
1. Yeah, for the castle grounds and all the hub levels, you would have to do hex editing to add new stars. You'd be better off replacing those levels with new ones. I don't recall exactly why you have to hex edit, but I think it had something to do with the lack of a pre-coded "mario got a star" end level animation for those levels. Don't quote me on that though.

Those kind of programs don't exist, because mp3s are sound files and midis are a set of notes that your computer plays using it's internal synth.
Try transcribing the midi yourself. It's actually not as hard as it looks, provided you like the song enough.

There is no such thing...it's kinda like trying to create a piece of software by converting a video file...
Fortunately, writing in midi is easy. I would recommend either transcribing it yourself, or posting a link to the song so that someone could transcribe it for you (for credit info )
@RDX: Thanks! I'm currently taking a look at hex editing for stars, so that's helpful! Thanks a lot! |

| How do I copy and paste objects or duplicate them and make them solid? I've looked around for this and can't seem to find anything on it. I wanted to duplicate the castle's tower, I've seen it done. |

find the Castle grounds grass and a snow texture then extract both to a .png then go to the castle grass texture and click import from .png and choose the snow texture and the your done! same with the castle textures just click the edit textures tab in tt64

Toad's Tool is really a great software. 
I want to ask some questions:
1. How can I edit the messages of the signs and Toads?
2. Then I replace Whomps Fortress with a level, I get as WarpdMario with properties of Bob-Omb Battlefield. So I get the start-message of the Battlefield after spawning. How can I change the Warp Mario correctly to Whomps Fortress?
3. When I eneter a painting, so I can select a mission/star. It is possible, to change the title and description of the star-missions?
I hope, you can help me.

For questions 1 and 3, you need to download another piece of software called Text Wrangler. I don't know the answer to 2, unfortunately.

Thank you for the answer
It is possible with Text Wrangler to edit texts in a changed ROM (replaced level, moved/edited objects)? Or can it edit only original ROMs?
Editable texts is a very important part for my project called internal "Croctus".
Anyway, I hope anyone have a answer for this question:
1. Then I replace Whomps Fortress with a level, I get a Warpe-Mario with properties of Bob-Omb Battlefield. So I get the start-message of the Battlefield after spawning. How can I change the Warp Mario correctly to Whomps Fortress? (second question of my previous post).
