Haven't been here for a while (well not properly) and this is probably a n00b question, but is it possible to change where stars appear in Toad's Tool 64? I know you can move the red coin star, or stars that are either in blocks or already in the open, but ones that for example appear after defeating a boss or doing something special? For example, would it be possible to make it so that the star after defeating the Big Bob-omb appears, say on the floating island? Also, is it possible to make it so that the 100 coin star doesn't appear above whatever coin you collected as the 100th, but shoot to a certain location regardless of where you were when you collected the coin, like the 100 coin shines in Super Mario Sunshine have a set location to shoot over to?

Did you even look at the forum name?

This is ROM HACKING, not Gaming. He asked how to move where the stars appeared, not for a list of video walkthroughs for collecting all 120 stars in the original game. Blaaargh.

He's new .. he probably didn't read the first post and thought by "Super Mario 64 star locations", I meant "where are they"

So, is there away?

Or do I have to face the awful fate of... you know what?

Not in TT64, you will need to dig it in the ASM. I guess the King Bob-omb would be easier to change, because you can find its coding in RAM by looking at the address called by the 0x0C behavior script command.

You can change the location of red coin stars, stars from ! blocks, stars that appear after going through 5 checkpoints, and stars that are already there in TT64, but you can't change other stars? Like stars that come from bosses, enemies? If you move the enemy that gives you the star, say, move the big Mr I right down to the merry-go-round, and defeat him, the star, will rocket through the floor right up to where it would normally appear, or if you have the Big Bob-omb right near the beginning, and defeat him, the star will shoot over to the top of the summit.

I'm not very good at the Toad's Tool thing but i do want to be given a message if someone comes up with a very good hack of Super Mario 64.

Wow, major bumpage. BTW, it turns out that one person, "frauber" I think, has managed to find a way of changing where stars spawn/go to after defeating a boss, or whatever.

IIRC, frauber is messaien (is that correct?)

Yes, frauber it's just an alternate nick.

Koopa-the-Quick star coordinates are stored at ROM offsets 0xED868 (Bob-omb Battlefield) and 0xED878 (Tiny-Huge Island) as 16-bit unsigned X,Y,Z coordinates. If you change them, you'll have to use a program to correct the checksum of you ROM, otherwise the boot code will lock it up.

Unfortunately, this is an exception. Most stars spawned from bosses are hardcoded in the ASM as 32-bit float values, so you'll need to understand some basic MIPS ASM and use a float converter. 0x802F2B88 is a general CreateStar(x,y,z) function, so placing a breakpoint at that address before beating a boss and finding the code that calls this function is the easiest way to find coordinates.

I was writing a simple program to change bosses star coordinates, but I haven't worked on it for a while.

You can with Toad's Tool 64

Toad's Tool 64: http://homepage.mac.com/qubedstudios/ToadsTool64.htm

You will need to extend your super mario 64 rom (so you can edit it in toads tool 64)
