ROM Hack [WIP] The Fourth Dimension: A Super Mario 3D land level editor

Okay, thanks. What about certain items crashing the game?

Objects should be documented, some objects that crashed my game are the rope (i didn't know about rails) and both the big and normal raccoon goomba, they too seem to need a rail

Okay. Is it OK if AllRailInfos is first on the object list, as long as the rest is in order?

AllRailInfos is a group separated from other object types, so yes

What we need now is a list of filenames with their associated levels; I can't find pretty much any of the stages in the file list...

Also maybe a pop-up warning (or red-outlined box around the rail selection or something like that) when you add an object that requires a rail to function? That would also be nice, as some unexpected objects (Racoon Goombas and Racoon Bob-ombs, and I think spikesticks) crash without them.

You didn't setup well the nw4c toolkit, i can't tell too much, make a system variable called NW4C_ROOT that points to your "NintendoWare Tools" folder,then run the exporter, it will give error again, if you look in the console windows of maya, you'll understand how to setup other folders

Just figured out how cameras works :

first you need this generic camera code:

     <C1>
        <D2 Name="AngleH" StringValue="*AngleH value*" />
        <D2 Name="AngleV" StringValue="*AngleV value*" />
        <A0 Name="Category" StringValue="Map" />
        <A0 Name="Class" StringValue="Parallel" />
        <D2 Name="Distance" StringValue="*Distance*" />
        <D1 Name="UserGroupId" StringValue="*Camera id*" />
        <A0 Name="UserName" StringValue="CameraArea" />
      </C1>

Then set the values with the help from this image:

Spoiler

there are other parameters, but those are the fundamentals.

Happy level making

EDIT: As an example if you want the camera with CameraId = 1 to see mario from side like in a 2D stage with a distance of 1000 you use:

     <C1>
        <D2 Name="AngleH" StringValue="0" />
        <D2 Name="AngleV" StringValue="0 (or 10 to give a bit of angle)" />
        <A0 Name="Category" StringValue="Map" />
        <A0 Name="Class" StringValue="Parallel" />
        <D2 Name="Distance" StringValue="1000" />
        <D1 Name="UserGroupId" StringValue="1" />
        <A0 Name="UserName" StringValue="CameraArea" />
      </C1>

Hello! I am creating a new model but CollisionsMng.exe no longer works. It stays on 'generating KCL'. After, I used the old obj (the N64 Mario Circuit one) and that also doesn't work. Any help?

Another user had this problem, this may be related to the size of the model if it's too big, can you pm me your model ?
I never had this issue with my models exported from sketchup

What method are you using to play it?

 

[mustafag32g]

using citra to check why :-)? i have a 2ds, but it just takes long to recompile and reinstall, you think it is the reason why :-)?

Well, did you put the files in the same folders as the .zip?
