Hacking ReggieNext with NSMBU support released!

[wingedkoopa67]

How did you get it working, how do you pull the original .szs files for it? I can see them in cafiine server but what next? 1-39.szs???

You use TCPGeckoDotNet and click the "Read FSA" button. It should freeze for a min or so, and then it'll show all of the disk's files. Head to vol\content\Common\course_res_pack and it'll show all the levels. Right click the course_res_pack folder and you can rip all the levels. Takes a while, though.

So much.

I'm dumping mario kart 8 files, and that takes an eternity

Of course there's no difference between the real editor and yours. You stole it and copied it.
And why Shame on mr rean? He's a dev, he's allowed to release his own software.

Shame on you. You need to be banned

I assume you are saying there is no difference between "ReggieU" (a stolen and renamed old reggie next with nsmbu support) and the actual reggie next with nsmbu support?
How about pretty much everything under the "What's supported?" section of the first post?

Isn't this pointless with Mario Maker releasing soon?

This would allow for more advanced levels in some ways, and for documenting NSMBU.

Bug report (My ISP is blocking rom hacking sites accidentally again [eyeroll smiley here], so I can't post it on the new site):

You need the updated TCPGeckoDotNet. Here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0y2bjp0i56o7yr7/TCPGeckoClient.7z?dl=0
You also need the new codehandler. wj44 has it hosted on his site. http://wj44.bplaced.net/pyGecko4/

Thanks your a star. I thought I was missing something I can start at the levels now

 

[Reecey]

can you not add sprites?

 

[wingedkoopa67]

You right click to place sprites. Why it's never explained really bothers me. I was stuck for a good 20 mins before I just raged and mashed all over my mouse and placed a Goomba by accident.

I figured out how you recompile your edited levels. I was a dumb dumb and hit the wrong button.
But still, why ReggieNext doesn't already have this implemented into the program is strange.
Here's the steps for anyone else having trouble:

1. Download Uwizard: http://wiiubrew.net/sdm_downloads/uwizard/ (The download button is at the bottom)
2. Open up Uwizard and click on the "Archive Manager" tab
3. Click "Compress SZS", select your Level and name the output file.
4. Grab some lunch, take a walk, go to a game, see a movie or even go to freaking bed because this compile is gonna take a LONG time. (Usually about 1-2 Hours)

5. Then follow this tutorial: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-custom-levels-in-new-super-mario-bros-u-fw-5-3-2.395758/

6. Have fun! : ) else i steal yo monies

How do you save your new edited level properly with the app.? Thanks for the info on that bit I was just about to ask you that

also how do you change a sprite from say a goomba to the squiral looking character.

Use Wimms SZS TOOL(It's much quicker).

wszst compress input.szs --dest compressed.szs

 

[Reecey]

Cant you just overwrite a normal level and save it with the same name put it in the course folder, that's what I have been doing and then run it via cafiiine?

How do you run wimms?. I have installed but no idea whats next.

You can run it via cmd/cygwin.

So I open cmd then what do I do to get the output file? Sorry I really have no idea you will have to explain.

Create a new folder.
extract the file from bat.zip.
Copy your edited level into the newfolder.
Open compress.bat in your Editor.
change input.szs to the name of your level file.
Doubleclick the bat file.

Thanks. How do I create my .sarc file from the NSMBU editor?. I have done my level but when I click on new level to save it, it just exits the editor.

OK, so I sort my level out and then click Export to save it, got you thanks again.

Edit: would you mind if I had you on speed quote! lol
