Hacking Reggie! - NSMBWii Level Editor

[tolomeo]

After selecting the stages folder it gives me this log:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "reggie.py", line 8458, in
File "reggie.py", line 8410, in main
File "reggie.py", line 140, in SetGamePath
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xd1' in position 27: ordinal not in range(128)

The stages folder have the structure that treeki said (some .arc level and the texture folder)

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help and thanks again for this wonderful app


PD: sorry for my englis

Encoding bugs

Try putting the folder into a path that doesn't contain any special/accented characters for now.

I'll try and fix it for the next release, but putting it into a normal ascii path should work.

so much for a bugless release

but still great work Treeki

Yeah, it just so happens that none of the testers tried using a non-ASCII path

Python 2.x sucks at unicode handling.


In any case, I've fixed it for the next release! Unicode filenames should work in it.

 

[tolomeo]

ok, thanks, in spain we have too much accents...

the worst is that the special characters I think is ñ, and my name contains a ñ, so i can´t use my xp profile

 

[TempusC]

The metadata allows the full range of unicode chars. I’m used to multiple encodings, and I made that part support them. So feel free to put your name in there.

 

[tolomeo]

ok, thanks (I can name myself¡¡¡¡)xD
I'm sorry for discovering a little bug in this great app

 

[Delta517]

The help files were made a couple weeks ago, and we made the dumper just recently as a better alternative. Yeah, you can do it if you like. The staff and developers of the Reggie team are just gonna point you to the dumper though. The dumper is easier for those who have never done this stuff, and no one needs to download anything illegal to use it, which some people might appreciate.

And WiiScrubber can extract multiple files >.>

How do you extract multiple files with WiiScrubber then?

 

[pepxl]

LMFAO. Oh the irony.

anyways, yeah, wiiscubber 1.4 doesn't allow to extract multiple files or full directories. I'm burning a copy of NSMBW so I can get the files without extracting each one individually.

just extract an unencrypted partition but select "extract" not save, it then extracts all files and folder apart from

apploader.img
bi2.bin
boot.bin
cert.bin
fst.bin
h3.bin
ticket.bin
tmd.bin

Maybe add or take a few but you only need to manually extract a few if needed

 

[WiiPower]

WiiScrubber DOES allow to dump multiple files at once, but not with an option you expect it. Oh and you need to extract all files anyways if you plan to use this with a backup somehow.

 

[skawo96]

So, let me get this straight, you guys rush us to release it as fast as possible, you find one tiny bug that none of us have encountered, and you think that's ironic?

 

[WeirdEars]

I've just downloaded it and it looks good so far! I haven't really got to grips with the features yet, but from what I've seen, it looks very easy to use.

As for using it with backups, I would imagine it would be a case of replacing the original stage file with the new one, but I'm guessing it's not as simple as that.

 

[Treeki]

Umm, yes I do think it's ironic. If you dont see how it is ironic then I am sorry.

The irony is that it was wanted to be kept to just the coders and testers so you guys could find all the bugs, now that it been released a noob found a bug within the first few hours of the release. As to what I was saying all the time in the past is if you guys were to allow the general public to play with it then more bugs could have been found sooner.

What OS do you use? Vista must really have disappointed you. Several years to release and be tested by MS and it couldn't even copy files properly.


Maybe what.. 5% of users or less will find this bug? It occurs under conditions which none of the testers have (level is in path with non-ASCII characters) and nowhere else.

 

[smalltime]

Thanks for the hard work! Time to get creative.

 

[tj_cool]

I could extract the needed files fine with wiiscrubber
The only thing is that I had to extract the whole partition instead of just the needed stage folder :|

 

[WiiPower]

Could some people here please stop bitching against the developers? They did a great job and all you can do is complain about a tiny bug that was fixed in a very short time?

If the developers decided to keep the editor to a closed user group until they thought it's ready, then you have to accept that. It's not like you are paying them or whatever, just be happy and use it now.

Hello,

First of all, Thanks a lot for releasing your great editor! I got it all working now very, very impressive!

except the following thing happens. I created a short level just for test. Now I've replaced the 1-1.arc iso file inside the iso with my 1-1.arc file.
When loading it in usb-loader the game starts, shows the white wii strap screen then tells you to hold your wii mote sideways(so far so good) but after that, the screen stays black.

Just downloaded one of the levels from the filedepot, used that instead of my own level, to test the same thing, but still same effect. seems it doesn't work wit usb loader. Or maybe I'm overlooking a simple thing?

EDIT : I know this is just my first post, but I've been a visitor here regularly since 2007 XD

Good job at proving once again we're right about USB loading not working!

At once? How?

Reggie! doesn't support USB loaders - Riivolution is our officially supported method, which only works with discs due to its design.

NSMBW has had issues with level modding through USB loaders since the start - we don't know why, and we don't feel the need to figure out the issue (it's not caused by Reggie).

Try using Tanooki or Leiji Loader.
