| By emulating it, it sorta meant not showing the alpha-channel parts at first, then simply taing the opacity percentage for the translucent polygon, and adding it's RBG values * it's translucency to 100 - Percentage * the visible pixel's transparency, and then posting that to the scren. Probably wouldn't work too well, though.
and it'd be slow. |

| It is still crashing right after selecting a level for me too. Attached is a Dr. Watson report and the error log.
If you have your linker options set to create a map file, you may be able to look up the location of the crash. Also, if you set your compiler and linker to include debugging information in the executable, tools such as Dr. Watson may be able to identify which function the crash happened in. |

| Alright, it's a long shot but try this version. Also I don't know how to generate a map file, but I plan to add an exception handler in the program that should be able to give more information. |

Originally posted by HyperMackerel Yes, but now it has changed since then to include the registry key stuff and a bit more. It says nothing at all after I enter the level number, and I am using Windows XP. That new version worked, though. (edited by asdf on 07-19-06 01:14 AM) (edited by asdf on 07-19-06 01:16 AM) |

| OK, good. The new version's working for everyone then?
Stupid bug in PromptLevelNum(), I was scanf()ing into a local short, when scanf()'s parameters need to be integers, thus overwriting 2 other bytes on the stack. Dunno why it didn't crash on my system though.  |

| Well this has certainly progressed! Great work HyperMac'!
From what I've found, you can export the 3d data into an XML file. What can be done with it? Is there a plugin for 3dsmax to import it? Also, where's the readme, I can't find it. ^^' |

It's that file named "READ ME.txt".  Exporting the objects is only really for debug purposes, there's no program yet that can import it.
Also, memory allocation bugs really really suck. |

Well there is only one file in the archive...
You sure you added it? Its not in the old archive either.. Oh well Anyways, if the export feature in this viewer cannot be used to export the tracks, how did you get the rainbow road model for the guy in the first/second page? I was hoping to convert the tracks to another game format. I can't release them, this I know but It'd be cool to play on Toad's Turnpike with RC Cars. XD |

| just change the car graphics in mk64 to rc cars. If i remember correctly, the karts are just sprites. | |||

Originally posted by Hosma293 Well that's bizarre... The archive here is supposed to have it (it has everything else; the attatchment was just a quick bugfix version), but apparently it got deleted somehow (and Windows decided to hide it in the Recycle Bin ).
Anyway I'm not sure what you mean about a Rainbow Road model. Someone asked about getting one, but I didn't have one for him. |

Thx for the readme lol

| "...What format?" does not equal "Here it is".
Boche never specified a format, and so it was never made. |

| Alright, I think I found the texture info. Now I just need to figure out how to read the images themselves. |

Hey btw, when you're done with this, what are the chances of you moving on to DKR? |

| DKR might be interesting to poke at but there's a lot of things I want to get done first.
Anyway I found the problem I've been having with textures, but it's a big problem.  The game is splitting up large images into multiple textures or something, and I'm not entirely sure how. Most textures are 32x32, but occasionally you come across a 64x32 image. It seems like this gets broken up into two images, but both appear to be 64x32.  (Try changing address 0x8996DD to 0x0D, then look at the audience stand in Mario Raceway. By specifying 0x0D you get the bottom half of 0x0C and the top half of 0x0E, because they're 64 pixels wide.)
It being 2:30 AM, I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out exactly how and why a 64x32 image gets broken up as if it were 32x64, and still displayed as 64x32. Hopefully it'll make more sense in the morning.
That and I need to figure out how the game enables alpha blending and testing.  |

First, great work on MK64 HyperMackerel 
I'm not sure if this will answer your question but here's how to know the width and height size of a particular texture, from the F3 command. It's not obvious and wasn't totally explained in the two M64 threads and in my doc. Do the following operations to get the actual pixel width and height of a particular texture.
I hope it makes sense to you and that you don't already know all this |

Thanks, but it works nothing like that in Mario Kart 64.  The level header points to a list of textures to load which includes their address, filesize, and some other number whose purpose I don't know yet. All the textures are the same format (RGBA 5551) and all 32 pixels high. The trick is, the programmers assumed they would all be 32 pixels wide too, when in fact many are 64 pixels wide. So the game takes the polygon's texture # and jumps to (# * 2048) in the decompressed texture data (2048 being the size of a 32x32 texture) and reads the image from there. That means after any 64-pixel texture, the next texture is a mishmash of two different images. Emulating this bug proved to be quite difficult since my rendering core (and indeed, OpenGL itself) is programmed much differently than the game's.
I did finally manage to get that working, though, after much bashing my head on the keyboard. *slaps whoever coded this game* Now there's just a few small things left to do:
-Figure out why the track has no texture 
-Figure out how the game stretches and smears certain textures, such as those on billboards -Fix bugs 
Here's a screenshot of the progress so far. Notice the camera is rotated. |

Holy Fuck. That is  concentrated, liquified, and poured into a mold right there.
However... does the number you have no idea about possibly contain bitflags or a config table offset byte or something to control texture streching/etc.? |
