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>

Would it be simple to use this information to add some sort of super-simple "camera menu" of sorts? Like an "add Camera" button that opens a small menu where you type in the AngleV, etc? It sounds simple enough to do, just fill-in-the-blanks as far as I know.

Also, I put this code into the XML (both as a new camera and putting it within an existing camera) and converted it to bmyl, but the editor doesn't load any of its new properties/doesn't change anything in-game either...

And please look into a fix for obj2bcmdl

You need to add that code in the cameraParam.byml file, it doesn't have effects in the editor but in the game you'll see.
Also, it's not so simple to add a camera menu, since the values i posted are only a few of the ones the game uses, so making a menu that manages the camera settings would require to know every value used in the game

ok, sure.

I have tried changing the quality of the textures.

The problem may be sketchup exporter, you are using an older version, the obj exported from my sketchup 2015 is different from your and the converter doesb't get stuck.

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 :-)?

How do you run 3d land in citra ? I can't get past the title screen, when i press A citra crashes

But my old .obj doesn't work anymore.

Get a newer sketchup version and try exporting from that, even the editor doesn't load the obj correctly

I am using Sketchup 2016

 

[exelix11]

I am using Sketchup 2016

Are you using sketchup function to export as obj ? or a plugin ?
In your model i read:
# Alias Wavefront OBJ File Exported from SketchUp
# with OBJexporter (c) 2010-2011 TIG
# Units = meters

while in my models there is:
# Alias OBJ Model File
# Exported from SketchUp, (c) 2000-2012 Trimble Navigation Limited
# File units = meters

and the format seems different, can you send me your skp ? Save it for sketchup 2015 first

I can't open it, you must save it as a sketchup 2015 skp.
Anyway, I'll see tomorrow.

Got Kokiri Forest Working!

Just got the scale wrong is all, but it is just a model import... anyone have any ideas to make it an actual level (Only using resources from 3d land)?

 

[mustafag32g]

did you also use nw4c to export?

 

[Mattshark]

Yeah, it works in-game and all that, I just don't have any ideas to make it an actual level instead of just a place to explore

Also, is there currently a way to rebuild or inject audio into a .bscar yet? I can take sound out of SoundData/RedPepperSound.bscar (the file with basically all the sfx in the game), but I can't edit it at all...

Just saw the post, tapatalk removes the notification from the site.
The bcsar format is mostly unknown, and most of the files it contains are bcseq which i didn't find nothing about or cwavs that still requires the ctr sdk tool to generate

dead?
i hope we get stuff sooon!
