Hacking Mario Kart 8 Hacks -- N64 Rainbow Road!

[MrRean]

Chadderz had told me in a stream that his converter can convert BACK from the XML, I decided to try it out with my theory on how the game knows what objects to load. There's an ID that each object has, just like MKWii. I changed the sizes of objects, and kabaam. There's a level edit.

I just made some objects bigger...Chain Chomps, and the Coins.

This was done with Cafiine and the kernel exploit on 5.4.0. Stick around and see more soon!

Nice!
I've been doing similar things to F-Zero GX, but I modified the object's data (size, position, etc) directly in the RAM. So I am sure this could be done with cheat codes, too
May I ask if you had to resize the object and collision radii for each axis separately? (that's what I had to do with F-Zero GX)

 

[MrRean]

YAML is pretty much an XML format.

<Rotate X="-0.3328422f" Y="0.1578335f" Z="0.1421532f" />
<Scale X="5f" Y="5f" Z="5f" />
<Translate X="-1795.633f" Y="2000.422f" Z="62.97926f" />

Thanks!
I may search for the address in the RAM when the kernel exploit is out
(except you or someone else does it before)

 

[MrRean]

Bean's done some memory edits, so far.

Wait wait wait.
How can I use stuff like this on Firmware 5.4.0?!
Could you explain this for me, please?

 

[MrRean]

You can't, yet. Kernel exploit for 5.4.0 is not out yet, and won't be for quite a while.

 

[xXDungeon_CrawlerXx]

You can't, yet. Kernel exploit for 5.4.0 is not out yet, and won't be for quite a while.

uhmmm... okay >_>
Just waiting for years to be able to use kernel exploit for game modding like this :\

 

[MrRean]

Well the kexploit barely works, if it freezes for you you can't ever use it. That's how bad it is right now.

But there's still a chance to be able to use it, right?

 

[MrRean]

Yep, totally. If it works for you, it works very well.

 

[xXDungeon_CrawlerXx]

Yep, totally. If it works for you, it works very well.

I wish I would be able to try it :/ But yea, you said it won't be released yet.

 

[CosmoCortney]

Bean's done some memory edits, so far.

I know. By this I meant finding cheat codes that resize coins, chain chomps and so on

Heh I don't know about cheat codes, that's a bit away.

 

[CosmoCortney]

Cheat Codes are totally possible with TCPGecko. AFAIK there's not a code handler to make them permanently activated. But I could solve this problem with asm (game specific)
I was thinking about suggesting a list of code types since the old ones appear problematic to me with the new memory ranges. But i don't know if the ideas would be useful for the developers...

It'd be interesting to see this with SNES Rainbow Road having giant Thwomps all over the place lmao.
