Hacking Reggie! - NSMBWii Level Editor

[WiiFan2012]

Don't know where to put this, but this is for anyone who is getting an iPad. If you would like to use Reggie! on the go, just get a remote desktop app, then connect to your PC with it. Once connected, it is best to change the resolution of the PC to 1024x768, the same resolution as the iPad.

Just thought I let people know about this.

Ok so i have looked all over and i cant find this anywhere.. dose anyone know if there is a way to edit the banner(that drops down in the title screen)? if so can you tell me how to find it in the iso? thanks guys!!

 

[FenrirWolf]

The banner ought to be named "opening.bnr" but I couldn't tell you the first thing about editing the thing.

check EU\Layout\openingTitle\openingTitle.arc (change EU according to your game region)

I COULD be wrong about this... but i think this is the process
Extract OpeningTitle.arc, unpack with u8mii, convert file with tplmii so that you have a png of the banner... edit (keep original dimensions), save png... use tpl mii to convert edited banner back to wii file, recompress the folder with u8mii, insert back into iso or use with riivolution!

could be slightly off, it's been a while

Awesome!! Thanks Guys!

[toxibunny]

yes, just patch your altered files in using wiiscrubber.

Ok...here comes the Ubuntu-User again (sorry, I don't have Winblows)...

Well, like you maybe know, I got it to work with Ubuntu 10.04 (yay!). Though, it's laggy. And I mean, realy laggy. It freezes for a few seconds sometimes, everything is slow (scrolling, loading, etc.). I even installed the external Lib, but it didn't changed something. I thought that this is normal, but I tried Reggie! two days ago on a Mac, and it was fast like nothing.

So, anyone got an Idea why it laggs for me?

Thanks in advance

If this was on windows i would expect that you have bad graphics drivers. What video card and what drivers do you have?

Intel GMA950 and the default Ubuntu/Linux Drivers. I don't think the Drivers are bad, Compiz works without any problems, for example.

If the grid is on, turn it off - I have no idea why, but it draws extremely slowly on Linux.

I didn't have any issues with it on my netbook (GMA950, Compiz, etc) so the grid is probably the cause.

 

[Mr. Shizzy]

Wow!
This is simply amazing

Thanks to the team for all their hard work on this. I am even going to take a whack a making a few levels myself

That did it...amazing that a simple grid can slow down the whole App so drastically...

Thank you so much for your help, Reggie! runs now without any problems, and I even finsihed my first Level today (it's in the Depo)

. Realy, this App is great, great work

[Vibestar]

congrats man. Nice to see it finished.
Hope the Newer Mario Bros Wii is comming soon.

 

[TempusC]

BlueK - apparently the linux draw stuff is really slow for primitives. Since the grid consists of a large amount of primitives...

So now i have a new question.. is there a way to replace the "save banner" i got it extracted from the game but cant find a way to get it back in..

Not sure what you're talking about .. but if it's the save_banner.arc file, Riivolution should be able to replace it. Just put it into your SD card's nsmb folder.

Hey guys. I think i'm gonna start screwing around soon and see what I can come up with. But one thing that I have noticed with every level that I have tried out so far created by some other user is that the level does not take into consideration about if a toad gets captured.

For instance. No matter what level I put in place that has a toad help quote screaming from it, I never come across a box that I can release toad from.

I don't remember exactly how the toad system works, but if your savefile already has a Toad on a specific level, it will stay there - even if the level file is swapped out later.


If it needs to choose a new level for a Toad, it will search every level file in that world (numbered levels and Ghost Houses only, though). If that level contains a reference to the files for sprite 422, that level will be a possible Toad candidate.
