I really want to try that. Some time next year, we'll have DS levels in this and Wii levels in that.

This probably uses the same or a very similar format to the DS game.

These were my thoughts too, considering the speed of making the editor.

Yeah, maybe the SD slot on the DSI and the Wii could allow levels to be used for either NSMB game.

Would be awesome!

Not really. It would mean reprogramming the games to read from the SD card slots. Brawl is only able to do it, because it already has code to do so.

This is really awesome. The SMB1-3 communities have always had some really interesting hacks, hopefully that creativity can carry over to NSMBW. Every day I get more reason to mod my Wii. =P

Yo man. I'mma let you finish, but *shot* all you really need is an SD-Card and internet access.

I thought this as soon as I saw this topic. It makes sense - but at the same time, kudos to the coders for being this quick =P

so I was playing around with editing music, and I'm able to get music into it, but due to all the links for the main converter being dead, I can't get the songs to loop, at all.

PsychoSk8r · Nov 17, 2009

I've also got music into it too, though it's usually cut off because of a larger than usual filesize.
I also need this editor you speak of. =P

The tools were programed 3 hours after the ISO leak.

Three hours?! Goddamn. I'm not familiar with any technical stuff, so to hear something like this blows my mind.

I have a question though, and it's probably dumb. Would it be possible for people monkeying around with the tools to somehow put in their own textures or even 3D models? Maybe not with the tools available now, but like, ever? Just curious.

Phos · Nov 17, 2009

I'm going to guess that it was based on the tool he already had for the portable version. The level formats are probably similar.

LordOfSquad · Nov 17, 2009

I'm surprised no one has commented on the name of the editor.

Reggie. <3

The level format is basically the same, and the interface is the same as his DS version editor. To be honest, 3 hours sounds about right to me :P

Kudos to the guy for doing it though, really looking forward to the release of this.

Holy shit, that's amazing! I can't wait to be able to replay through all the old games with an updated engine and multi-player support!

Both a yes. Textures can be done already(same format as brawl), and people have been working at new models in Brawl, and at least 50% of Wii games are using the same format, including this game.

What is needed, is a replacement model for (mainly one of the toads) all the characters. If it could be done we could have Wario and Waluigi teamed up with the plumbers

I've been looking into that, but the Toads all share the same model, so if I replaced a Toad all the Toads are Wario. Unless someone can find a way to hardcode the game into loading a real 4th model I don't think it will happen.

Here's an awesome I made

PsychoSk8r · Nov 18, 2009

Damn you for being a Beta Tester. I've got everything I need ready to play about with it, apart from reggie. I've got an Extracted ISO, backup ISOs (I've been researching the music etc), and I'm just loving blowing this game open. =P

Lyrica · Nov 18, 2009

did you find a way to get songs to loop?

Like this.

Lyrica · Nov 18, 2009

You are awesome, that is the one all the tutorials use that I couldn't find, thanks much.

Edit: damnit converting a song into a BRSTM with looping keeps ending up being 0KB

Could it perhaps be possible to force the game to load Mario's model instead of one of the Toads and Luigi's model instead of the other, and making them load modified versions of the Toads' textures which would have been pre-modified to fit their new models? I'd rather play as Mario and Luigi recolors than as Toads, really; they could even be colored and in yellow and purple, so at least they'd be obvious references to Wario and Waluigi.

Lyrica · Nov 20, 2009

Yesterday in the chat Polygon Jim was saying the level editor won't be released for a while due to the creator rewriting it in a different language.

Whhhaaaat. D=
That means I've gotta wait longer now D=
