Hacking NSMBW Mod ISO Builder v1.00

[GreyRogue]

Looks like he missed one in the cs.xml. The pointer the file name for DLCodexx_x.bin hasn't been fixed. Add this one.

<memory offset="0x8034842B" value="3463FF82F4" />

It doesn't matter where it is, as long as it's after the 3 long ones. I put it in order between these two (second short one).
<memory offset="0x8034841F" value="3463FF82C4" />
<memory offset="0x8034842B" value="3463FF82F4" />
<memory offset="0x80348437" value="3463FF8324" />

This plus the two copy/paste fixes and they both load now.

Actually, you could probably take out the long ones, I think they're already done by this line:
wit\wit dolpatch nsmb.d/sys/main.dol xml=../nsmb.d/!XML!-mod.xml --source ../Cannon/

cannon and summer don't seem to work for me USAv2,
freezes at the wrist strap warning.

hummm - for me ...guess i'll need to read here a bit


i think i got the insert part:
"<memory offset="0x8034842B" value="3463FF82F4" />"
but i'm lost on:
"This plus the two copy/paste fixes and they both load now."

Yes, now both work!!!
Thanks!!!

1.- You have to add this line: <memory offset="0x8034842B" value="3463FF82F4" />
to the file: "CS.xml" (located in "patch" folder)

put it in order between these two (second short one).
<memory offset="0x8034841F" value="3463FF82C4" />
<memory offset="0x8034842B" value="3463FF82F4" />
<memory offset="0x80348437" value="3463FF8324" />


2.- You have to edit Build_ISO.bat

locate:

IF %MOD%==Cannon (
SET XML=CannonP
CALL :XMLMOD
wit\wit dolpatch nsmb.d/sys/main.dol xml=../nsmb.d/!XML!-mod.xml

and replace with:
IF %MOD%==Cannon (
SET XML=CannonP
CALL :XMLMOD
wit\wit dolpatch nsmb.d/sys/main.dol xml=../nsmb.d/!XML!-mod.xml --source ../Cannon/

those are all the edits I did to make Summer and Cannon work with USAv1 (I don't know if this works for USAv2) (again, thanks to GreyRogue for the fix)


3.- For Another you also need to edit Build_ISO.bat (thanks to Howard)

locate:
copy /b Another\Lang\staffroll.bin nsmb.d\files\US\EngEU\staffroll\staffroll.bin
copy /b Another\Lang\staffroll.bin nsmb.d\files\US\FraEU\staffroll\staffroll.bin
copy /b Another\Lang\staffroll.bin nsmb.d\files\US\SpaEU\staffroll\staffroll.bin

and replace with:
copy /b Another\Lang\staffroll.bin nsmb.d\files\US\EngUS\staffroll\staffroll.bin
copy /b Another\Lang\staffroll.bin nsmb.d\files\US\FraUS\staffroll\staffroll.bin
copy /b Another\Lang\staffroll.bin nsmb.d\files\US\SpaUS\staffroll\staffroll.bin

http://gbatemp.net/threads/nsmbw-mod-iso-builder-v1-00.349853/page-3#post-4685681

Both are in the batch.
The second needs to replace this line (missing '--source ../Cannon/' ):
wit\wit dolpatch nsmb.d/sys/main.dol xml=../nsmb.d/!XML!-mod.xml

Also it will probably run without this one but it should be fixed:
http://gbatemp.net/threads/nsmbw-mod-iso-builder-v1-00.349853/page-2#post-4684309

If you were adventurous you could rewrite the batch with these functions:
http://gbatemp.net/threads/nsmbw-mod-iso-builder-v1-00.349853/page-3#post-4685499
These would find and replace the files rather than having to explicitly copy each file.

You could also take the long ones out of the xmls that are copies of the loader.bin files. wit is already applying those patches. (Well, you could leave part of the long ones. After all TeamDARK wuz There!)

 

[GreyRogue]

Yes, now both work!!!
2.- You have to edit Build_ISO.bat

locate:

IF %MOD%==Cannon (
SET XML=CannonP
CALL :XMLMOD

and replace with:
IF %MOD%==Cannon (
SET XML=CannonP
CALL :XMLMOD
wit\wit dolpatch nsmb.d/sys/main.dol xml=../nsmb.d/!XML!-mod.xml --source ../Cannon/

those are all the edits I did to make Summer and Cannon work with USAv1 (I don't know if this works for USAv2)

Don't forget this one. It's in that section.
SET XML=CannonP
with this
IF %GAMEID%==SMNP01 SET XML=CannonP
IF %GAMEID%==SMNE01 SET XML=CannonE
IF %GAMEID%==SMNJ01 SET XML=CannonJ

This one , too. (It already has ' --source ../SumSun/')
SET XML=SumSunP
with
IF %GAMEID%==SMNP01 SET XML=SumSunP
IF %GAMEID%==SMNE01 SET XML=SumSunE
IF %GAMEID%==SMNJ01 SET XML=SumSunJ

Does Another need the same change it has no source ?
Does Holiday need a fix as it uses --source ../NewerSMBW/ which does not exist?

 

[markehmus]

awesome thanks!
just came back to say it was pretty straight forward when i looked over the .bat
but i see i got lots of help too

 

[DeltaDon]

How about someone make a pastebin link for the working bat and xml or put the files on mediafire or something?
After making the changes as described, I get the same results that [Files Differ] so the patches are still not working here.

 

[alejandroues]

Don't forget this one. It's in that section.
SET XML=CannonP
with this
IF %GAMEID%==SMNP01 SET XML=CannonP
IF %GAMEID%==SMNE01 SET XML=CannonE

This one , too. (It already has ' --source ../SumSun/')
SET XML=SumSunP
with
IF %GAMEID%==SMNP01 SET XML=SumSunP
IF %GAMEID%==SMNE01 SET XML=SumSunE
IF %GAMEID%==SMNJ01 SET XML=SumSunJ

I don't think it matters, because CannonX.xml and SumSunX.xml apply the same memory patches to all versions

For Summer E, P and J:
<memory offset="0x800E4914" value="3C600140" original="3C600120" />
<memory offset="0x800E4994" value="3C600140" original="3C600120" />
<memory offset="0x800E4A84" value="3C600140" original="3C600120" />
<memory offset="0x80328130" value="80001800" original="8015BB20" />
<memory offset="0x80328478" value="80001800" original="8015BC60" />
<memory offset="0x80001800" valuefile="Loader.bin" />

And for Cannon E, P and J:
<memory offset="0x800E4914" value="3C600140" original="3C600120" />
<memory offset="0x800E4994" value="3C600140" original="3C600120" />
<memory offset="0x800E4A84" value="3C600140" original="3C600120" />
<memory offset="0x80328130" value="80001800" original="8015BB20" />
<memory offset="0x80328478" value="80001800" original="8015BC60" />
<memory offset="0x80001800" valuefile="Loader.bin" />

Does Another need the same change it has no source ?
Does Holiday need a fix as it uses --source ../NewerSMBW/ which does not exist?

I think another doesn't need the change because it doesn't have Loader.bin

After making the changes as described, I get the same results that [Files Differ] so the patches are still not working here.

The patches work, i've already told you that 2 of the patches are going to say [Files Differ] because they are for the different regions of the game; the batch "tries" to apply all 3 patches (E,P and J) to the iso you have.

The only thing that the patch does is to change the name of the savegame (from wiimj2d to CannonM or SummSun)

 

[DeltaDon]

Here is the bat file after editing but it still gives the error ( the CS.xml has that line inserted too) <memory offset="0x8034842B" value="3463FF82F4" />

What am I missing ?

 

[gl1mml1ng]

My NSBW is EURv2, which isn't compatible with ANOTHER.

So I took the riivolution package for the PALv2 version in this thread:
http://rvlution.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=1484&p=23333&hilit=Another Super Mario Bros. Wii#p23333

Then I removed the line

IF %BASEVER%==EURv2 GOTO BADVERAN

from the Build_ISO.bat file.

The generated "Another SMB" ISO seems to run fine, but I have only played the first level so far.

 

[Wiimm]

The "files differ" status is because a patch condition did not match:
=> http://wit.wiimm.de/wit/cmd-dolpatch.html#exit

The message comes because of the --verbose option.

EDIT:
This will be changed in the next version.

 

[GreyRogue]

I don't think it matters, because CannonX.xml and SumSunX.xml apply the same memory patches to all versions

Ah, good point. Should have checked the contents.

I thought the message was useful. I think it might be better to remove verbose from this patch than remove it from wit.

 

[Wiimm]

I thought the message was useful. I think it might be better to remove verbose from this patch than remove it from wit.

The status (exit status) is still there. The intention of "Command 'xx' returns with status ..." was only, that it appears on error messages. Than I have implemented the hint "files differ". And from now, the message is printed for errors, if verbose is set, and for hints, if verbose is set twice.

Small update. Sorry about the silly mistakes in the last release everyone!
NSMBW_Mod_ISO_Builder_v1.01.zip

Changelog:

v1.01
- .wbfs output now creates a named subfolder for the game and names both
the folder and file as per "standard" convention (uses "\name [GAMEID]\GAMEID.wbfs")
- fixed Cannon and Summer Sun (stupidly left out one patch by accident)
- fixed Another when used with USA NSMBW as a base
- cleaned up batch file a bit, along with a few accidental mistakes

Wiimm:
I am having trouble with wit's dolpatch command, specifically when trying to patch an external file (such as Loader.bin) into the .dol file. Whenever I try to, instead of patching the file's contents into the .dol, it just fills the address I specify with all 00s, and only up to the first 1000 bytes, instead of the size of the external file. This appears to happen with both XML and LOAD sub-commands when dealing with an external file. I am using WIT v2.22a cygwin build, running under Windows 7, 32-bit to be specific.

Also, may I please make a request too? would it be possible to raise the limit of XML <memory> patches past 1000 bytes? I ask, because Another SMBW has its Loader as a memory patch instead of an external file, and it ends up being over that 1000 byte limit.

The main reason I ask about these, is so that way, I can remove the Loader.bin contents from my patch .xml files, therefore removing the need to distribute any part of these Mod's code or contents within my builder package.

Also, if I may ask for a forum mod to remove the "v1.00" from the topic title? (Since it is now not really a good idea for me to have put it there? oops!)

 

[Motobug]

Anyone have a download of Cannon? All the links I'm getting are to one page which says the account has too much traffic.

Until now I have seen maximal 20 bytes and so I thought, 1000 are more than enough. But no problem to make it with dynamic memory without limits (or 1MB).

Are 1000 bytes for the condition (original="") enough?

 

[damysteryman]

Thanks for that man

Yeah, seems like Another's loader patch is the only one that does that instead of an external file AFAIK. And thanks for that too man
And yeah, that should be fine I would imagine, I am not checkingthe original bytes when adding the custom loader, since the address I add it to is the same for all versions of the game.

Here I am (cygwin binary only): http://wit.wiimm.de/download/bin/cygwin/wit-r4518.exe
I have found the bug (mistake while removing test code) and the new limit for data is now 4 MiB.
But I haven't the time to test it now. So please praise me or blame the unknown programmer.

Changelog:
 
 - wit DOLPATCH
    - Bug fix: If loading a file, wrong data was used.
    - Tag memory, attribute value: 4 MiB of bytes are accepted now.
    - Sub command address=hexdata: 4 MiB of bytes are accepted now.
