Hacking NSMBW Mod ISO Builder v1.00

[CheatFreak47]

I think that would work actually. However, the main issue then would be people wanting to use their existing saves with an updated generated ISO with different ID. Perhaps I will add it as a third "save" option in the builder. And no rush on the save_banner.arc files, I will prolly be gone for the next 12 or so hours anyway. (logging off after this post)

That could pose an Issue, but to be honest, I doubt many will come back to this tool after they've made their ISO's once, unless they build a bad Newer version (Newer 1.01 and 1.02 had issues with world 3-6 and 3-7) And for those that do, I guess I'll throw together an icon for them. :/

My idea is that when the bat gets to the point where it asks what save slot, it'll have 3 options.

1. Share with NSMBW (No option to use custom save banners)
2. Universal Custom ID [KMNx] (No option to use custom save banner, same as 2 from previous versions)
3. Auto Full Custom ID (it'll apply the proper ID for the mod your building, and include Custom Save Banner patching based on your region and mod)

WELL this is a pain in the butt. Another SMBW uses some jacked up BMG files. I have to edit them with a notepad because SZS won't except them. Never Mind, SZS tools is just being crappy. Switched over to Ctools and it worked fine. Wierd.

EDIT: OK, so looks like editing the message.arc files is going to be pretty easy after all, the only problem is that some hacks load the message.arc files from different locations. However, I'm looking into where each hack loads them from. I'll post as I figure it out.

Newer Loads message.arc from /message/message.arc always it seems, it doesn't seem like there are any kind of translations, ever. No need to edit this one, it's already got a custom save name and desc.

Another Loads from a bunch of different .arc's in the /lang/ folder. All of them have to edited too, because none of them seem to have the right titles. :l

Cannon loads from /messageEN/message.arc always. Doesn't need patching, but the titles are in all CAPS for some reason so I'll patch it anyway.

Summer Sun loads from EU\EngEU\message\message.arc always. The string for the title is too long is a too long for wii data management. Patching.


Holdiay loads from /messageEN/message.arc always. Title is incorrect. Patching.
Epic loads from EU\EngEU\message\message.arc like summer does. Ugly caps again, patching.

-----
Done patching finally. I'll have some kind of upload here in a bit.

Lol, The guy from the like above with the save icons and such literally just took the banner I made and changed it slightly to include it with his package. Haha. Oh well, who cares

Guess I'll just take his save images, they're the same as what I was going to do anyway. Haha.

KMNx = Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii

KMSx = Newer Summer Sun Special

KMHx = Newer Holiday Special

KMAx = Another Super Mario Bros. Wii

KMCx = Cannon Super Mario Bros. Wii

KMEx = Epic Super Bowser World

Did all the imaging, just need to convert all to BTI and U8 compress with correct file names for each region. Once I do, Download links up the wazoo.

Either you use them as I have done, or you keep your modifications for you or you do not use them.
This work is previous in your work.
First publication of my pack with my icons and banners June 30, 2013
Where are your icons and banners at this date?

Well, they are being used the same way, anyhow. I was joking about the taking them bit. xD
Not sure I get your meaning there with the last bit though. I take it english isn't your first language?
Eh, anyhow. I can make My own images if you want me too, they'll be almost the same though. Good job on them too, btw. They're pretty nice.

If you let me use em they'll probably become part of the official patcher at some point if damysteryman makes use of all the file's i'm patching and uploading.

 

[Ayatus]

I agree that you use them.
I'm pretty satisfied with my banners but not my icons, if you've the best to offer, do not hesitate.

My first language is French, sorry for my poor English.

save_icon and save_banner for Epic, made this morning on waking.

The only Icon I didn't like was the bowser throne for Newer. I used my own icon for newer and used the throne for Epic Super Bowser World's save.

 

[Ayatus]

IMO, the icon's background isn't appropriate for Epic.

I agree, but I've already compressed, I'll change it eventually but it'll be after the initial upload. I'm busy patching all the message.arc files now.

 

[CheatFreak47]

Welp, I finally finished doing all the file editing. Here's a bunch of crap that maybe a few of you might use.
This is mostly for Damysteryman so he can do his ISO Builder magic with them.

damysteryman, Retro Remix work fine with NSMBW USAv1.

I'll try this myself too. I'll let cha know if it works.

 

[CheatFreak47]

Yep. Although there should be an patch for world 2-Castle to fix that weird glitch where everything is misplaced at the beginning. You can bypass it by moving left and jumping till the screen fades you back to the beginning of the level. Not a big deal, but eh. Seems to work fine with USAv1 here. I wonder if copying some of the patches from another or one of the other hacks to this one would fix this issue?

Apparently the issue stems from how the game is hard coded to have weird scrolling in 2-Castle.

 

[CheatFreak47]

I dunno anyhow. Retro Remix is an abandoned project. The last post I seen by it's forum leader was from a long time ago. Retro Remix is cool, but alas, the project is abandoned so I really don't see much point in pursuing it too much farther. If I ever get much into NSMBW hacking and Newer's tools make it easier, I'd actually revive the project myself, but eh.

it also works with pal/jap if you don't apply the us-only opening title. in my linux-patcher's thread there's a link to pal-compatible one.

Ah ok then (I saw what it was and was about to reply about it )

Anyone else getting .dll errors when using custom banner downloads?
If so, could you please try replacing wit\wget.exe... with this copy of wget.exe?

Just want people to try that before adding it to an update.

I was having dll issues and the wget you posted fixed them. Thanks.

 

[dragnmastr85]

Just tried Newer SMBW and I get the custom intro and world map but can't enter the first level.


Nevermind it was just my controls. I'm a moron.
