Hi, everyone. I'm back.
Hopefully all of you can forget about my depraved old ways of life on the forum, or the majority of you are just new members.
MM88 gave me permission to join again, just to let you know. I come in peace after the three years that have passed. 
Anyway...it feels I've missed so much, I don't even know where to start posting.
Skimming through a few posts above, I feel reminded to hand out this model of the SM64 boundaries (not sure if anyone's done anything like this before.)
This is a v7 Google Sketchup project, but you can always export it out to another model type if you're not comfortable with the program:

I didn't implement the limit of the Y-axis here, but the plain tells you the basic limitations. The size of the model is 100% accurate when scaled at "1" in Messiaen's importer.
Of course, you can put some hills around the square edges or whatever, but that's where the invisible walls are going to be.
I threw some ripped models of the cannon, castle door, and Mario in there, too. The sizes on these are accurate as well, so feel free to use them in your levels. Another reminder is that the size of the door is only good for the gold-ish doors and locked ones used inside the castle. Any others will either be too big or too small for this frame.
Mess, I can't believe I didn't even see your new release of the importer up until I signed up. O.o
Youtube will usually show me your new videos first, and I hadn't seen any updates from you for quite a bit...
So, easy for me to miss. :-/
Anyway, I'll give it a spin and tell you what I think.
Another thing you might want to incorporate in v14 is some settings for the little demo gameplay clips shown after the title screen. While documenting some of the title screen functions, I stumbled across a way to disable them, if some people would prefer doing that to avoid glitches. Since you modified Mario's actions in these clips in the Missing Stars, you might already know where to find it, but I really think it's a good idea to put a disable option in the importer.
If you didn't find that then I can let you know where to find the instructions if you want. |
