Hi everyone, i'd like to introduce you to my latest project I teased a while ago on my youtube channel:

OdysseyEditor
A Super Mario Odyssey level editor

​

The name pretty much says it all, it can open and edit odyssey levels.
Other than editing levels it can also load and edit byml and szs files from the game (and probably other switch games).
There is still much research to be done, any contribution on Github is welcome.
To use it you need your own dump of the game, don't ask here how to get it.

Hotkeys list and other info.
Download here
Nightly builds (These don't auto update, you have to manually check for new builds)
Requires Window 7,8,9,10 and .NET framework 4.5.2

Spoiler: Screenshots

Spoiler: Spoiler for some locations of the game

Spoiler: Model imports are here !

FAQ:
Windows Defender won't let me run it.
This is normal for "Homebrew" software, as this doesn't have a digital signature nor it's in Microsoft's databases it warns you that it might be a virus, click on more options and run anyway.
The only way i could remove this warning is to and digitally sign the exe, but buying a certificate costs $$$
If you don't trust the exe you can check the code on Github and compile it yourself.

Some models look worse than in-game.
As levels are much more complex than 3D Land, to improve performances the editor loads the furthest LOD of each model (aka the lowest quality)

The editor is laggy
Unfortunately you need a decent pc to run it, on my gaming laptop from late 2016 most of the levels run fine, but some of the most crowded ones like the city are laggy.
To improve the performances while editing you can hide models you don't need like backgrounds, skies, etc

It really can't be a rhetorical question, or any question for that matter, as there is no question mark in your sentence.

Having a lot of fun with this. Amazing work!

Couple questions

What are the chances we can look at other folders, excluding stage data? (characters models etc). I might have seen we don't have the decryption key for that yet?

Creating your own stages - is this just a case of duplicating? I guess you can not import stuff from other levels?

Technically, when CFW allows the booting of retail games, it should be a case of encrypting the game files back up and playing your levels on the real hardware?

this will work with layeredFS right?

 

[justinbug2]

can this save? it just not responds for me

 

[OcelotGaming]

It doesn't work yet but it hopefully will soon

 

[Kupie]

With LayeredFS working, this some day soon working to truly replace things in-game makes me giddy!

 

[justinbug2]

it just needs saving support

 

[exelix11]

just published version 1.1 !
This release fixes level saving: that's right saved levels now do work in-game !!
a lot of issues have also been fixed, check the full changelog on github.

Btw is it just me or the images on the OP don't show up ? They do in edit mode but not on the thread

That's great! Can't wait to see some levels created with this!

It seems that i.imgur blocks connections with a gbatemp referer. images load fine when I force my referer to anything else.

Uh, looks like it's against their TOS :/

don't use Imgur to host image libraries you link to from elsewhere, content for your website, advertising, avatars, or anything else that turns us into your content delivery network.

Tried to modify three kingdoms (including the Mushroom Kingdom). The game never loaded the edited szs :/ (Used layered FS and the save as szs function). Only blackscreen :/

Also I just made minor tweaks, not huge changes.

Make sure you're using the latest version of the editor. Adding objects still doesn't work, you must use the duplicate function.
If you save a level with a different name and then rename it from windows it won't work (It's a feature as the name of the file inside the szs must match the name of the szs)
Also make sure your layered fs build actually works.

ability to import custom models, will it be possible to implement?

Yes, other users are working on a bfres importer, currently it doesn't support textures, i've already seen model hacks

 

[Deleted-19228]

Is there a megathread or site that has custom levels that everyone is using?

afaik there aren't many custom levels, I've just seen a few harder versions of already existing ones. Try searching on google, maybe on gamebanana

I saw a few on gamebanana. I figured this would be a huge thing right now. Custom Mario levels have always been huge

I guess 3d land and 3d world are the exceptions that prove the rule ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Still, the editor is not ready to work on fully custom levels yet, with the next release it will get better if i get everything i planned working

I wanna make super mario Odysee 64 Can we load completely new models like Cap Kingdom replacing with Princess Peachs Castle Ground from Mario 64?
