Dang I leave for 2 days and you add 4 pages to the thread! 
But it's only questions I've already answerered, or Game Genie Codes (which as I said before, I won't acknowledge) so I won't reply to these. mustardseed: Thank you very much for the picture, it's nice, but it's not what I'm looking for, it's not the kind of crane I had in mind. Hmm I shouldn't have asked people for it... I hate rejecting someone's idea 
Here's pretty much what I want, but with Toad sitting in the crane: 
I did this part myself and someone pm'd me, he has a nice 3d model of Toad from SMS (which is a much easier game to reverse engineer than SM64) We're working on integrating his model into the crane. As for the editor itself, it's going forward, but not as much as I expected during my two days off. My mother was in town, so I had to see her (which I don't mind). I did fix a few bugs in the camera system, and now I'm working on the menu interface and description system. I'm hesitant to give any estimates on when I will release it, but it is "not so far from being ready". |

| *Eagerness level rises a little* Nothing that made me crap in my pants, but nothing that is boring, either. Good job on getting so far! | |||

| Hmm, SMS reverse enginerring easier than SM64? That sparks my interest...
Anyway, Awesome splash screen VL, can't wait for the Toad to appear! Oh, by the way, a long time ago when I asked about the somersault, I meant the roll Mario does into the Giant Goomba. Again, this is probably a stupid question, but how did you do that? (edited by donrayiv on 07-03-06 12:49 AM) |

| Somehow that logo looks a bit excessive... they're usually more simple. :/
Off-topic, it's a bit shocking seeing the N64 game again. I've been playing Super Mario 64 DS for a while, and the original SM64 looks so primitive.  |

| Well in SMS, everything is neatly organized into files with a filesystem. There are files for vertices locations, files for polygon (triangles) connection data. Others for textures, collision data etc.
In Mario 64, there's no directory for things like that. To find where all the textures are for example, you have to decode all level scripts to get the pointers for geometry data. Then decode all the geometry data to find all polygon pointers and then decode the polygon data to find all unique textures. Same goes for vertices data and many other things. Also, in Mario 64, the triangle data is part of an ASM-like script that controls the graphic chip directly. The 0x4 command loads a limited number of vertices found somewhere else, then the 0xBF command draws triangles using those vertices. So it's impossible to build, for a particular model, a complete list of all vertices and their locations in the ROM without parsing the graphic commands first. In SMS, just load the corresponding vertices file, triangles file and texture file(s) and you're good to go. But I'm not into GameCube hacking, as I find the console to be to much recent for hacking, and there's no really functional GC emulator yet, so no real possibility of an editor. If you really want to know more about it, check out the threads on emutalk.net. Ok you're lucky I'll answer another question for you since I wanted to reply to this one before and apparently didn't...
To do this move in Mario 64: Run, press A to Jump, press B to dive, then while diving press B again (or A) making Mario spin so he doesn't land on his belly. I do this all the time to go faster. (edited by VL-Tone on 07-03-06 03:14 AM) |

| Super Mario 64 DS, along with most (if not all) official Nintendo DS games (eg, not a homebrew game/app), also has its data nicely organized into some filesystem. Hacking of SM64DS probably has been more complete than the original SM64 for this reason.
The filesystem trend is probably just to help developers worry less about how to store data, and worry more about the actual data. |

| The filesystem trend is probably just to help developers worry less about how to store data, and worry more about the actual data. Yeah, and they just made it much easier to hack HA! HA! HA! 
Keep goin' VL we are being very patient. |

Originally posted by FreeDOS + If this editor gets released, then the original Super Mario 64 is hacked more then the DS version. We have not been able to edit any files. I haven't even properly made a Nintendo Archive and Compressed Nintendo Archive extractor. These things are important for modifying game data. |

| This may sound graphic, cruel, and of topic but,
1. Moon jump to the top of the castle. 2. Once you're on top moon jump to the sky. 3. Now fall. 4. If done correctly, you'll go through the flag at the top, and it looks like you stabbed yourself through the flag pole. Try it!
VL Tone I just want to say, you should be very proud of yourself 
We're all cheering you on!  |

Originally posted by Critical Error Not only is this off-topic and old, but it can be done without any cheat codes through one of the two ways: 1. Use the wing cap and the cannon to shoot yourself to the top of the castle. 2. A well-planned triple-jump on the castle roof will get you up there without the cannon, and also with no stars at all. |

Originally posted by Doritokiller It varies. I do have a real job as I said, and have to work there 6-7 hours a day, 5 evenings a week. When I do work at my job, I spend less time on TT64 (ToadsTool 64). It can be from about 3 hours to maybe 5 on those days. Friday and Saturday I may work on it even more, sometimes up to 8 hours. Unfortunately I was busy much of my last days off, so I didn't work on it as much. When I get back from work, I'm not always in the mood for programming. As much as I like working on the editor, sometimes I need to relax and do other things. So that's about it... I'm gonna publish something later that may help you wait, which is a list of offsets of all textures I found in the game, with their size and type. It will then be much easier for people to find and edit textures using TileMolester. It will only work for an extended SM64 ROM. |

| ...You make it sound like 5-8 hours of programming is nothing. Simply amazing. You'll finally have some time after the project to regain your sanity from working so long. |

| VL-Tone don't spend lots of time on TT64. Get rest when you get from work. Then work on the editor if you are still not tired. We are not pressuring you to finish. |
