... do you work on a better control for the hack? ...
The controls have been modified as follows:
- 'Y' activate F.L.U.D.D. eg. press 'Y' to hover if using the Hover nozzle.
- 'SELECT' to cycle through the different nozzles.
- The player now runs all the time instead of walking like in SM64 and SMS. Pressing Y has no effect on their speed.
- You can now perform side-flips instantly, as in SMS.

First off - AWESOME work so far Fiachra, beyond what I thought possible.

Secondly, some opinions/questions:
- I really would like to see sunshine sprites instead of stars - to complete the transformation.
- Is the level Corona Mountain still off the table, now that F.L.U.D.D is included?
- Is it possible to replace the castle and paintings as level entries with a more suitable 'hub'?

To sum up: Great effort, Can't wait & Good luck with your finishing touches.

pretty nice work, though now with fludd but...

i was hopign that without fluud the many speial abilities found in SMDS would be put to good use. Metal wario, Vanish Luigi, fire Yoshi, flutter jumping, breaking big bricks with Wario, shell surfing, Mario's flight and float...

Thanks.

1) Still undecided, I want to still contain some elements of SM64DS
2) No, I'm going to try and include it as it should be possible
3) Delfino Plaza has already replaced the castle and will be the main hub

Fire Yoshi, Vanish Luigi and Metal Wario are being kept, Balloon Mario is not as it would give Mario too much of an advantage. To make up for Mario's much greater abilities, Luigi and Wario are both going to get a new power-up or special ability in addition to their Power Flower ones. Luigi's will be a power-up from SMG and Wario's will be one of his Wario Land transformations, I'm not saying which ones though. I'll do my best to ensure there's a balance in the different star missions that require each character's abilities.

I'm aware it's been a long time since any updates, but I am still working on this project.

Some new screenshots:

I've nearly completed implementing Nokis and Piantas with a variety of colours for both sexes though unfortunately due to how they're implemented each level can only have either Nokis or Piantas but not both:

Males:

Females:

Gelato Beach is nearly finished as well:

i meant that they would be used to make up for fluud being gone. it's nice that you got fluud working, but i think that making use the sm64DS 's exclusive abilities would make up for the loss of fluud and other things, while keeping the remake very fresh. for example...

area with doors requiring turbo could be broken with wario's fist or passed through with luigi's vanish ability
water areas that have you using turbo to reach them could instead require a koopa shell for surfing.
the areas requiring yoshi to melt that butter-thingy could be turned into ice for fire yoshi
areas requiring rocket could be travelled with balloon mario or wall-jumping. same for areas where piantas chuck you, but i could see a cannon working depending on the mission.
areas requiring hover could be bypassed with flutter jump, luigi's massive jumping abilities or even mario's wall jumping
areas requiring you to shoot water at something or shooting those pig-balllons could be re-worked to use yoshi's eggs

don't get me wrong, i'm happy you managed to get fluud working and i'm sure it was a lot of work, i just think this would've been a better, simpler option. but i'm not making the game. keep up the good work...

oh, you didn't answer me, i think: why exactly is corona mountain impossible? looking over at what the level has i don't see anything that can't be done with sm64's assets.

It's meant to be a sort of mixture of SM64DS and SMS so I don't want to just be using the exact same abilities in SM64DS especially since SMS's levels were designed with F.L.U.D.D. in mind. In a lot of cases SM64DS's abilities could be used instead but F.L.U.D.D. would work better eg. Corona Mountain: you could use Balloon Mario for the initial part where you have to navigate across those burning platforms instead of Hover Nozzle and for the clouds at the end instead of Rocket Nozzle and you could also just use Metal Wario to run across the lava unharmed but all of that removes most of the challenge.

...

I didn't answer your post at the time but it's answered in the post you quoted.

re-watching the video about the fluud nozzles, i have to say one thing: i think you need to raise the rate that the nozzles consume water.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
