*Alot of code and tecnical stuff*
Now, if I understand correctly, if I change this.
*More code*
to this
*Still more code*
Then the game should load the blue sky instead?
If thats right, how would I go about changing those values? Would I use a hex editor or is it more complicated than that?
I'm no pro, but that looks like hex to me, but to be safe, make a copy of your rom before modifying it in hex.

Once you said:

Or maybe it doesn't fit in this hack? I dunno.
(I'm sure you remember!  )
I forgot about that idea, remembered it (not realizing I had already thought of it earlier) in a way that there would be 6 seperate slides, then thought it wouldn't fit into the hack. |

Yeah, i think its just extra data that was on the cartridge. See if a DS rom trimmer gets rid of the files. If it goes away, then you know its trash. |

Thanks. I was trying to remember the name. But yeah, use a rom trimmer, and if the files are gone, then you know the files are completly useless. |

| The new beta has a problem. It has the zelda and Mario Kart inserters, but not the mario 64 one. It took me 2 hours to figure out that the reason it kept thinking my ROM didn't have enough space was because I was using the Mario Kart inserter. |

Try changing one at a time first. Maybe you made an error in changing one of them. |

Yes i tried just now; and so, using CHKSUM64.EXE to correct the CRC, it does nothing now (the emulator complains as i did not recalculate it). But i'm sure i did it well. Why me? -.-
Hmmmm. Make a PPF patch of the ROM file thats giving you problems and someone can see whats wrong. |

This is possible, but may be tricky. Some textures like the copyright are in the Checksum Protected area. I'm not sure if your icons are in this area. If there not, it's easy. Open up a program like Tile Molester, look for the textures in the rom, and change them there. (This is an annoying process though) If it is checksum protected, when you try to start the game there will be an error. If this happens, you will need to recalculate the checsum using a program that I can't think of at the moment. I hope this helps. |

But, I have a couple of questions. One, obvious, one not so obvious.
1. Since this is an object importer, we would be making objects in programs such as blend3r, correct?
2. You say that we can only add 3d objects to custom levels, and that the new version will automatically replace Bob-Omb Battlefield with...Flatworld Battlefield, I'm assuming. Would there be any way to replace all of the levels with Flatworld Battlefield, so that every level can be customized?
1. Yes. Blender, Wings 3D, or any other 3D program.
2. Only 2 flatworld templates have been made so far. Bomb-Omb Battlefield by VL-Tone, and Lethal Lava Land by Frauber. Programing a flatworld isn't an automatic thing, and since Lethal Flatland isn't officially supported by Toads Tool yet, I'd assume that it won't be compatable with it... Yet. |

Hey it worked! Thanks for all your help.
I have a few more questions though:
1) How do you patch roms? (Mario 64 specifically). Is there a guide lying around for that?
2) Is there any way to make the original level portals (The paintings, the wall to snowman's land, etc) function as just part of the wall, and not as another entrance to the level?
1. That question is asked quite alot, and the answer is extremely simple. First, get an extended rom that hasn't been edited. Then, download a PPF patcher program. I use PPF-O-matic. (It was designed to patch Halo, but it works just fine for Mario 64) Then, open up the program, select your PPF patch, select your ROM file (remembering to change it to show all files instead of just ISO files) and hit apply.
2. Well, unless you know how to manually edit the hardcoded behavior of the paintings, no. Plus, if you get rid of the paintings, there'd be no way to get from level to level. You could always block off the painting in TT. |

I was wondering if anyone had checked to see if the speeches by Bowser, King Bom-Omb etc could be removed via the behaviour script, I'm hoping they used one 0C command for the speech so we could possibly remove it?
If we achieve this, then we can make multiple bowser boss fights without the player having to speak to all of them. Though I guess the speech asm would end up triggering/turning on the boss fight anyway.
Have you tried making multiple bowsers? You only need to speak to one of them. The main problem is that the others wont activate until you spin their tails. |

Thanks. I actually figured it out after I posted this. I was confused because there were 2 scripts. Now, to figure out how to actually play Killer Instinct. Also, Nao, can you post the times with the rankings? |

1. It doesn't even need to be graphical. Maybe just make it so you can double-click the Exe.
2. The new beta package STILL doesn't include the Mario 64 importer. |

| Uhhh, first, why is this a poll? There are no choices! Second, there is no real Mario behavior, and if there was, there'd be no way to have him to be able to be controlled without a human imput. Third, there is a Help forum for questions like this. |

Gotton further? He's made the first custom Mario Kart 64 EVER!!!
