Here. I'll explain hoe to do this, even though it has been asked so much it is now a noob question. Although, eceryone is like that at one point. First, download a program to patch roms. Try PPF-o-matic. It was origionally designed for halo, but it works just fine for N64 hacks. Next, download the PPF Patch. Now, you must have an unedited extended SM64 rom. (it can be edited, but it might not work perfectly) Open up PPF-o-matic. Click the disk picture next to "patch" and browse for your patch. For ISO image, do the same thing, except you will have to select "all files" under the file types before you can load the rom. Hit apply, and in a few second you will have a patched rom. |

| Ok. Messian, you have done what I have been hoping would happen ever since I saw that video where someone moved the level terrain as a whole object. (Man that sounded weird) Could these newly made objects be implemented automaticly in either the rom extendor or Toad's Tool itself? |

This is the concept of "Platform Battlefield", a empty level (it contains no terrain like Flatworld, just death at the bottom of the level) where you can move solid custom objects around. See more in the dedicated thread.

Edit: Indeed there is a command the scales collision data! Check out the Behavior thread
Edit2: Also, I have been experiment with the 0x20 Geo Layout command, and indeed it determines drawing distance (how close you need to get to the object so that it is drawn). The range of values are 0000 - 07FF. Anything beyond hex 8000 (dec 32768) will make the object invisible (probably some negative/positive values issue).
Not what I ment. I meant that video made me think, "Hmm, maybe the terrain objects could be divided into individual physical objects" Which, is what you did. |

IDEA! You can have separate objects for different acts, right? Well, why not make slide battlefield Act 2? Each act can be a new path!
Edit: If I delete the polygon sheet and have it remake it from this rom, will Toads Tool work with other roms? |

Stevoisiak: The file you are going to delete is only used by TT64 when opening FlatWorld. You still will be able to load non-Flatworld enabled ROMs, but if you open a fresh Flatworld ROM, you may have problems viewing the geometry. So, keep a copy of the original file. Maybe it is a good idea to also keep backups of the "label files", which are updated because of the new 3d objects/behaviors in my level.
Ok. Also, what about my acts idea? |

Why not just use a sliding door then? |

Yeah, but sometimes, as like with the platform, ahhh, never mind. So, I have an idea! I think adding these new objects to the game should be a built in feture with toad's tool. It could be like the flatworld button, except it can add objects to the rom. (Posibly, it could also take care of some objects not working in other levels) |

No you didn't. You said that I should back up my Polygon file. I also said,

So let me check out the ideas so far.
1. Run-away stars
2. Multiple area levels
3. Seasons in a level
4. Camera freeze minigames
5. A classic level recreation (Or a new one that looks old school)
6. Use mirrors/glass to keep people in a path or make a maze.
7. Shell surfing
8. Huge yoshi race involving flying, beating bosses, ect. |

Well I was thinking about some simpler things like adding new contents for the ! box. But yeah, why not learn ASM? I understand it's harder than SMW ASM, but it's definitely possible. And none of us are complete morons, are we?
1. Why not intrigrate ASM editing into Toad's Tool?
2. I've been trying to learn ASM for a while, but don't know where to start.
3. With all these complex features and things, a developers version of TT could be made. One that will add to the pollygon data if necesary, sacrifise user-friendliness for new features, an ability to desplay coding on behavior scripts, ect.
4. Watch what you say, there are some noobs who might be. |

| Sweet! Also, I have an idea. How about using a 2.5 D styled level! You could use objects like walls to keep on a single path, create splits in the level, have certain areas in 3D (sorta like in Super Mario Galaxy how they have some 2D area's that may circle around, turn, go up, or stay stright, while having fully 3D area's too), and create one way boss battles! |

Of course, ideally we need a new behaviour for a ridable Yoshi but we could base it on the Koopa shell.

You mean yoshi cant go in water. If he touches a wall, its bye bye. |

Actually, that might be a good video idea. Still, it's kind of obvious you could do it with king bomb omb and bowser. If you can play as bowser and race the bomb omb king, you can make them toads.

Apparently, VL-Tone isn't the only one with size modifier hacks. Others ave hacked Mario's size, many based on Yoshielectron's codes.

Some of these hacks used gameshark, other's don't tell how they did it, and some even claim their hacks as real. Check it out.

I gave credit to you. I said, thanks to Yoshielectron. And yes, an ASM thread seems nice. Also, I still need to know a good place to get started on ASM |
