| Well, TT doesn't seem to be liking me that much. I may be able to get used to it, but not only does it lag even when I have all the objects as blank objects, (To do the level from Scratch) I put Mario spawn over a mushroom platform, yet I fall and die anyway, and the object list is inconvinient. For now, don't expect anything from me. |

| I'm clicking the L Is Real sign, but nothing is happening. How can I guess the legendary words if I can't type them in? Am I supposed to change the description file or something? |

| Hey, I noticed that there are a lot of unused files in TT that if deleted, do no harm. For example, some of the images can be safely deleted. Maybe you should get rid of them. |

Is it just me, or has TT started to get a little bit glitchy and overly complicated?

This also occurs in the mirror room. When running, marios head seems to glitch up in the mirror. |

Actually, as I have stated a few times before, if you get an unextended rom, and use the level select cheet to go to a different level, the game will NOT get errors in Project 64. |

Ok.
Step 1: Make Mario the smallest size
Step 2: Select the texture of the Plaque
Step 3: In the box where the size is listed, type "L Is Real"
Step 4: Hit enter.
Keep in mind that TT probably WILL glitch up, but it will work. Just be sure to hit yes when it asks to continue. Also, change the size so he isn't so tiny before you start the game. |

I don't see how TT64 got overly complicated. It has the same basic interface since the beginning, some features were added, but they don't complicate the basic functionality. Maybe it feels to you like it's more complicated just because you began to dig deeper and want to do more complicated things?
No, the program itself! The older ones are faster. It's a common thing where features are added in sacrifice to speed. TT even lagged when looking at empty objects! |

Yeah. I noticed that in certain areas the HUD, stars, and various objects got glitched up. However, this glitch CAN cause some effects with the star. I love when the star gets a shy guys graphics!
P.S. Theres a glitch with the tree in your mod. It took me 5 minutes to get out, even WITH moon jump.

Well then just use the object set from castle grounds. They have practicly every object in the game. |

| Personally, I'd say no. However, I do feel there should be a subcategory in ROM Hacking for different games. |

| The main reason there is so much Mario 64 activity is because VL Tone made this the offical form for Mario Hacking. |

| This is probably a dumb question, but since Tile Molester can decode the graphics, why not use it to help decode the graphics? |

The tower colision is part of the terrain, not part of the object. This was most likely another trick nintendo did to save memory. Another object that does the same thing is the spining circle in Lethal Lava Land.
Edit: Meissan may be able to help you. He knows how to do this kind of stuff, |

So, in other words, theres a problem with being able to tell when a note starts or ends? And also, for now, why not try something simpler, like a Mario Kart 64/Super Mario 64/Wave Race/Super Mario 64 DS music importer? You said the formats were extremely similar |

Well, I see a few reasons why you may have had trouble.
1. He used the test level, which is accesable by code, so messing with it probably doesn't affect the game too much
2. Maybe certain objects crashed it. Like The paintings in the castle
3. Could it have been the outside castle, where you start the game that you edited?
4. Or, maybe you just did something wrong. Rom hacking is a pretty comlex thing after all. |

Do you mean the beta levels, or the beta video where there is adventure co-op. (Yeah, there was origionaly adventure co-op. Why it was removed, I have no clue.
Treeki found and made usable the beta levels first.
http://jul.rustedlogic.net/thread.php?id=2237
The beta multiplayer is shown below. (Has not been found in final version of game)

Why they took this out, I have no clue. Annoyingly, they did the same thing in Super Mario 64 DS. |

Or he used something like ndstool instead of nitroexplorer which tends to blow up pointers.
That would fall under #4 I believe. There are plenty of things that can go wrong in ROM hacking. These things weren't designed to be played around with. |

Ohhh, so in other words you can't find an automated way to have two notes play at once!

I was just experimenting some stuff and got another very important command! As stated in my WIP music format specification, there are three ranges of "playnote" events, which are alternated to get smaller music data (I guess an analogy could be drawn between this and the vADPCM format used for sounds, which compresses based on a 'table' of predictors to get optimum results).
Each of these ranges covers only 0x40 bytes, as oposed to the 0x7F (127) possible notes of a MIDI event (pretty much all the human high and low frequency hearing thresholds).
Anyway, all of this is to say that command 0xC2 is the tranposition factor (in semitones), usually used as mutiples of 0x0C (12 semitones, that is, an octave). It's needed if you want higher/lower notes than the usual range. The param read is just one byte.
Uhhh, in English? All Im getting from this is you found a way to edit pitch using a smaller amount of data.
