I remind seeing a Yoshelectron's a code that makes the water level continously rising. I think an interesting idea would be to make the level water gradually rise to the middle of the level and then go back. It would be much easier to do this than having to create separate areas for flooded/non-flooded.
A problem with that is, what happens if your in a cave, and the water rises up to the ceiling? Also, maybe there can be triggers for the watter. Like, you hit the switch, a star appears, but the water starts rising. (Actually, that'd be better for a lava level.)
Also, for the hack, should I add multiple acts for a sort of time-line feel or not? |

Isn't that already possible?
You can just set an object as a warp, or if you want the object solid, just make a seperate warp.
I remember in Luigi's Mansion 64, there was a level where if you died, you got trapped in the mirror room, find a way to get out of the room, and get a forced retry at the level.
Edit: Um, how do I make "secret text"?
Edit 2: Here are 2 images of my level so far. I haven't really worked on it much yet, but expect a lot more over the X-Mas break. Also, ignore the big flame. It's only multiple flames in the same spot.

Wait. Does the importer add m64 files, or create them?

How ironic. The first MIDI file I converted (Using a program that doesn't have all the translation errors titled MID2MLL) was the 12 days of Christmas! |

I'm using tinymm, as it seems to be the most usual choice. Did you got mid2mml from SMW Central? I think I may have tried it, but it was in japanese and the output was a bit strange.
Along with the importer, there will be a simple program called fix_mml which can correct the .mml files produced by tinymm (the octave raisers/lowerers are inverted) so they are (almost) ready for import.
So, the steps to custom music will be (assuming you are working from a MIDI file):
1 - Convert MIDI to .mml using tinymm (or another program)
2 - If tinymm is used, run the file through mml_fix
3 - Manually edit the .mml sequence (it's a text file) to include tempo, volume and other settings.
4 - Run the importer to produce a .m64 file
5 - Use insert_seq to save the sequence into the ROM
1. There is a translated verison of the program available too
2. I looked at the tutorial, and there are a few things that make me unsure, like adding instruments
3. Maybe you can combine tinymm and mml fix to get rid of a few steps.
4. Can you make a tutorial video on this after you release the program? |

If you honestly cannot tell what it is a hack of by the screenshots, you have no business ever playing NES ROM hacks.
No, I can tell that it's a Mario 1 hack, but if it wasn't obvious, or a noob came, they'd want to know what game it was first. Besides, I could easilly hack Mario World to use 8 bit graphics. (Which surprisingly, I have yet to see in one of those Mario World=Mario 1 hacks. |

It's very useful you know.
I already said I know its a mario 1 hack, Im just saying, you know what, never mind. I know enough from the last time I almost got banned to just stop here. Anyway, I do love the hack! It really was made nicely. Cant wait to finish it. |

Also, how come it shows that you can open a .m64 with Project64?
I guess Messiaen forgot that the m64 extendion is already used to repersent a type of rom file. |

http://magicstone.de/dzd/random/MariOZMAV_v03_src.rar - the most recent binary and source code to MariOZMAV. It's rather untested and all since I last worked on it, I guess, a week before Christmas, but I hope it'll be useful to someone nonetheless, even if it's just for the F3D interpreter or whatever...
(insert text about new features and technical details here)
Well, that's it so far, I guess. If anyone wants to improve upon this program, feel free to do so, since I'm not sure if I will devote much more time to MariOZMAV... While I really do like Mario 64, I just don't have as many fond memories of playing it as of Zelda OoT, for example, and those tend to play quite a big part in most projects and such that I'm working on.
I think that is a good enough reason to bump the thread. Just be sure to update the first post with a link to the new version. Also, I hear someone is making a level editor for Legend of Zelda. It's called Utility of Time. Maybe you can help work on that. |

Next time I see you post things like you own the place, you'll own some deleted posts instead.
Anyway. Stevo is correct, especially since you are contributing something. But you don't have to update the first post. And I won't tell you what to do, unlike somebody else, who thinks he's a mod when he's not. :p
Sorry. It's a force off habbit. In a lot of other forums, it is ok because I am only stating my opinion. I'll try to stop though. |

I got 2 bugs for you. If TT doesn't have a certain amount of RAM on startup it will crash with some kind of #mycolor error. However, you can use as much ram as you'd like once it starts loading the ROM. Also, I have load textures from rom, but they don't display correctly in TT. (The textures are all green for greenscreening)
Not all of the textures have been replaced yet, so some of them are still easilly visible. Ingame, I can easily see the green textures, except the fences, which I assume is just an issue with their transparancy. |

| It is posible, but since the terrain importer isn't done, you'd need to get your hands dirty and do a bit of manual hex hacking. |

After a few months without firing up TT64, I'm working again on this hack. My plan is to release a beta version in a few weeks, and after it the future of this project is uncertain. The only external contribution will be Celux's "Secret Woods" level, as most people who were working on a level gave up or disappeared.
So, it will feature 2 complete levels (Secret Woods + Lava level) plus 5 other playable areas, each one with one or two stars. The day/night stuff is incomplete and buggy, but will still be featured as it plays a important role in some stars. Most areas doesn't have act selectors (ie, like Peach's Secret Slide), but instead rely on the day/night alternation for variety.
I don't want to spoil away some of the surprises, so I probably won't post more screenshots/videos until it's released.
Well, I may continue my hack. I'm probably gona scap my area and make a slide, if yo could rip a few slide pieces for me. Also, what about that DDR level that was contibuted? |

I'll also need very soon a few people to test the hack, see if there are major bugs, how is the difficulty, if puzzles are balanced, etc. If anyone is interested, just send a PM. I'll give priority to older members.
I actually forgot about the DDR mod. It's a very ingenious mod of the Castle Grounds, but I"m not sure yet how to reproduce it on a "Flatworld-like" level. I'll see what can be done about it.
Well, then maybe I can make a slide a part of the level, like they did on Tall Tall Mountain. |

Theres an older topic called background swapping. That may be a suitable place.
