Ocarina of Time - Sword Modification Demo

[Zeemis]

This might be cool if we could actually see what was happening.... it's so jumbled that it's impossible. -_-;

[tobiawsome123]

Finaly!!A link that works to UoT!

[keatonlink2]

ummers im doing this in uot with loz oot and when i press tabs on links file do i put this in when ever it ask for the hex?

[riku812]

It looks like a club. XD

[bluephreakr]

THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY VERY MUCH FOR THE LINK!!!

Sorry if that sounds a bit much, but I have been looking for this on all of the usual sites and I assumed the Utility of Time was lost in time. This is a very welcome surprise.

[FishfilmsInc]

how do i extract the rom? i keep getting errors

[xXEryarXx]

lol i thank you so much O.o i though i spent my time in modding :o thank you :D

[alexeklof]

dude when i edit the kokirisword and click save what am i supposed to put in the window that pops up (have debug rom)

[TheTjalian]

You need to put in the address of Kid Link's file in the ROM. It's in the description.

[alexeklof]

thanks man its working now

[kargaroc386]

i have utility of time beta 9

[TheTjalian]

Not sure which version that is... it may or may not have model editing.

[quinnjdq]

hay all my my maps and actors are in code do i need the debug rom

[TheTjalian]

I'm not really sure what you mean by "in code", but you can edit any ROM you please provided it's decompressed.

[DekuLink7]

how did you get to that house? I thought that house was only in the beta version of oot when it was still called zelda 64

[quinnjdq]

does uot have a virus

[TheTjalian]

No, no it doesn't.

[jackspicer9590]

take it easy with that sword link

[SpoonsXownXsinceX92]

You don't want to hurt yourself, now.

[walton80]

That's a big sword. xD

[QTB111]

I have the thing, but it keeps telling me to install it

[TheTjalian]

...then install it? It's perfectly harmless.

[QTB111]

I did, but it says I still have to install it

[TheTjalian]

You're probably clicking on the wrong exe. Open up Utility of Time.exe instead.

[omarcortes88]

So, you can edit 3D objects with this program?

[TheTjalian]

Yes. And maps, too.

[misterlink2]

i have a quation, i am pretty good with the utility of time , but not with the actor thing when ever i open it up, it shows nothing. i think you should make a tutorial

[TheTjalian]

I'm planning on making a bunch of video tutorials, but a) I'm very busy with University at the moment and b) I need a decent mic.

[misterlink2]

Well in that case, take as long as you need

[basniak]

Woah talk about OOT being in 16:9 O_o. Good job, by the way.

[Flotonic]

Looks pretty good! 5 Stars!

I have a question, though. I modified Link's sword, too (see video). Have any advice for me, or is mine coming along good? Thanks!

[nickmax123]

did you use UoT to put the stalfo thingy or ZAP2?

[TheTjalian]

Well actually, I used Zelda Edit a program that predates Utility of Time (and is infact its spirital prequel). Most Debug ROMs these days come with the patches that Zelda Edit brought to the table anyway.

[LotusMan17]

If camstudio doesn't work get camtasia wayyy better.

[TheTjalian]

My paypacket disagrees with your statement.

D:

[Zant5976]

for the tutorial, you can always use hypercam 2. it's not all that great, but i'm sure it's better than nothing. (just don't record your ENTIRE screen...)

[TheTjalian]

no no and more no, I refuse to use Hypercam 2. I hate to sound like an elitist, but if I'm going to do this tutorial I want to do it *well*. I can't stand some of the tutorials on youtube that are recorded so poorly they're not actually viewable.

[Zant5976]

well, i'm sorry that i, unfortunately, cannot help you. there are some other screen recording software out there, like Camstudio, but other than that, i honestly cant help you.

[TheTjalian]

I checked out CamStudio, looks pretty good! Can't say I knew about that one. I've got the lossless pack, which when combined with Windows Movie Maker, provides good quality with some fairly small file size. Thanks for the heads up! :) Now all I have to do is grab a mic, hehe.

[Zant5976]

._. you can always use the text that comes with window's movie maker. sometimes mic's just suck. it'd have to be a very good mic, lol...

my mic sucks ass. :C

[TheTjalian]

Mhmm to be honest with you, I'd much rather prefer text AND audio. I always prefer audio with tutorials (when watching), and text is easily addable via the annotations feature on Youtube. Seen as this is the only place I plan to host it (especially seen as Youtube supports 720p HD) I don't have to worry about getting subtitles elsewhere.

[wareya]

I've remade it. The string of character after the normal pastebin URL is f5ad818da

[wareya]

Gah, forgot something. Here's the fixed extension: f6ad478d8

Youtube won't allow URL's.

[TheTjalian]

Cheers, Wareya. I'll add it to the description now.

[Y0utubeUs3rname]

Thats amazing I can't even properly change an actor with UOT...I'm sad now.

[wareya]

...And, of all cruel irony, the forums go down! Just great! :D

[/sarcasm]

[TheTjalian]

wareya do you have that list uploaded elsewhere?

[wareya]

No, but it's really easy to duplicate. I'll have a second version up by tomorrow, probably on pastebin and the backup forums

[mrsnubeh]

just like ike

[TheTjalian]

UPDATE! Check the description.

[LotusMan17]

Do you think you could possibly put a tutorial on how to do this on here. Please

[TheTjalian]

Hmm, this is actually kind of the first time anybody has really requested this. I'll take a look into decent screen capturing software (read: not crappy hypercam 2 trials) and see what I can do. Watch this space!

[LotusMan17]

I used Camstudio once or twice definitely better then hypercam.

[TheTjalian]

Ah yes, I remember Camstudio. I used that back when I was 13. I'll have to take a look into how much it all costs. Thanks for the reminder.

[Y0utubeUs3rname]

Where do you find Z Actors? in UOT

[TheTjalian]

tinyurl . com / 6mj9ra

without spaces, of course

[penquin12500]

dude

[penquin12500]

I saw that room in a beta picture?!

[TheTjalian]

You did indeed!

[fbfbggfe]

i need help.When i extract a rom it makes these weird offsets like

19475947-45071784

something like that

so i dont know which maps are which to go with the scene

[TheTjalian]

Check the description.

[ZaneAvery]

So, instead of kokiri sword, you gave link the Ordon Sword from TP

[ChrisPwns2]

pretty cool, I found out how to do it. if you ever find a way to modify the low-res sword, could you please tell me?

[TheTjalian]

Sure. I'll post it in the description.

[ChrisPwns2]

cool, thanks. also, is there a way to edit the sword swipe?

[TheTjalian]

Might be possible to edit the actual graphic, never really tried. No idea about the actual collision of the swipe, but I suppose this is possible too (not sure with UoT, though).

[milkynoob9]

im having trouble downloading utility off time zelda editer all the links say do not have right or somthing like that!!tuh""'how unfair!!!i really wanted to know and learn how to use that sucker!!!so ya please help me out anyone or tell me if you have the same problem i do!!!

[TheTjalian]

Works fine here, and that's the only existing link to UoT I'm aware of. I don't know what else to say, sorry...

Perhaps someone who reads these comments can lend this fellow a hand?

[Aleniums]

couldn't you just link us to the files???

[TheTjalian]

That's... what I did, weeks ago? Check the comments again.

I don't usually direct link because I like to give credit to the author instead of just stealing his bandwith, but considering there's no site up at the moment, I directed straight to the upload.

[Aleniums]

I always say, screw the author.

when I provide something for download, I provide a page link to a site where it is, AND a direct download for anyone wanting to skip that crap and just get the cool thing they saw, this way, if say the site DIES on us, they still have that direct download. :)

thanks for the downloads, too bad it only works with the debug rom...

why can't people come up with cool stuff like this for NORMAL roms?

[TheTjalian]

The friend is an author of mine, so if you don't like it, go elsewhere. I've invested personally into the actual site where this program came from, so no, I won't just "screw the author", thanks.

Anyway, Utility of Time isn't just for the NORMAL rom at all. However, to make things easier, you'll need to decompress the NORMAL rom.

This specific sword modification isn't for the NORMAL rom, but it's not actually available for download either, so the whole point is moot.

[Aleniums]

Well sorry, I didn't mean to put down a friend or something, I just meant that the author usually puts their own stuff saying "I did this" basically, in the file, so the point of that is moot too.

[CharMixa64]

My girlfriend thought he was weak, but look at him NOW!

[Aleniums]

the link in your video description is DEAD.

[Foreverisen]

hey i have utility of time how am i suppose ot use those avctor codes were do i put them in

[TheTjalian]

When you save the work you've done.

[MyAccountsDisappear]

what is this and how did you do that?

[YamiSasha]

btw I found Zelda Edit 0.9.5. Is that the latest version? because I didn't see the ability to add actors, only to replace them.

[TheTjalian]

Hi,

If you select ROM Fixes, you can add in a Stalfos in 121 that way (among other things). There is only one application that can add in actors, and that's Zelda Level Editor.

I'll try to find a link for that too (if you can't find it), but with ZSO down it's going to be a little hard. I'll try to contact JSA (the author) over IRC.

[YamiSasha]

okay thanks, because I want to add in as many actors as I want to a level, and Zelda Level Editors link is dead so I really needed, thanks.

BTW is there any place the members of ZSO are using as a temporary board until ZSO starts up again.

[TheTjalian]

Unfortunately, hosting ZSO is a bit of a hot potato at the moment :/

[YamiSasha]

Too bad, in this case we won't get any development done such as newer tools and bigger secrets, etc...

BTW I have officially had no luck in finding the Zelda Level Editor, did you find it?

[TheTjalian]

Not yet, sorry dude. Once I get a hold of JSA I'll PM you and let you know.

[YamiSasha]

k thanks, good luck

[YamiSasha]

Tjalian, I would like to know how were you about to add an actor to room 120 just like that? I can't seem to find a feature in UOT that lets me do that, can you please explain?

[TheTjalian]

If you find Zelda Edit (I'll try to find a link for you), this can add an actor into 120 for you (and I think 121 too, but I'm unsure)

[YamiSasha]

oh, I had always assumed the capabilities of Zelda Edit were implimented into UOT, guess not yet. BTW do you know if some sort of text implementer or event creator?

[TheTjalian]

The only way to exit text so far is to download a hex editing tool like XVI32 (google it), find the string you want to replace and do so.

Event creators I suppose are possible, but it requires a lot of assembler knowledge, which is way beyond my expertise.

[Danman23270]

what is the file for the sword

[Danman23270]

nvm ill use ur link XD

[Danman23270]

is this only in the debug rom or can u do it in the regualr oot rom

[TheTjalian]

My hack is for debug ROM only (I think), but I don't see why you can't do your own hack for the regular rom. You just need to make sure the regular ROM is decompressed in big endian.

[Danman23270]

i opened the file object_link_boy which some1 told me edits the sword but it only edits the sheath so wut is the file?

[YamiSasha]

When I make the edits and try to put it in I get the message saying "Please enter the address (hex)at which you'd like to save to. For more info, see the FAQS in README.txt."

Thus since I don't know what this means, it never actually into puts into into the game, can you explain and how to do this?

[TheTjalian]

For Kid Link, you need to put in this address:

01014000

For Adult Link, you need to put in this address:

00FDC000

Remember to backup your ROM before you make any changes to it. If you want a link to a site with every file address, check the edit on the comments...

[YamiSasha]

wow thanks it now works, can I know where I can get a list so I can edit other actors as well?

[TheTjalian]

I don't know what every other actor is, but I'm sure you can figure out what some fo them are by checking out the link in the comments.

[YamiSasha]

ah an update, thanks man, you have been incredibly helpful. Hopefully ZSO opens up again.

[TheTjalian]

It's not an if, it's when. You can rely on that.

[TheTjalian]

Oh, you're welcome, by the way! :D

[Link2006]

whats the memory HEX thingy needed?

i cant inject it since idk whats the HEX numbers

[TheTjalian]

Unfortunately I don't have them at the moment. Once ZSO forums get back up, I'll be able to retrieve them.

[PyroFox93]

:O Zelda Coalition CLOSED!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!

[TheTjalian]

Not for good though.

[thedudemonn]

WHEN DOES IT OPEN THEN >:(

[TheTjalian]

Look up the word "indefinitely" in the dictionary and come back to me.

[thedudemonn]

I didnt ntice that there... hmmmm...

[diashi120]

ok sorry fro triple but now i get this i sneed the hex data for sword and im 12 i cant do this wat did u use?

[TheTjalian]

I used Zelda Resource Extractor to extract the ROM, and then used Utility of Time (link in comments) to modify the sword.

[diashi120]

hey after i do this i get a error in the emu saying infinite tht cannot be stopped exiting now comes up wat should i do?

[TheTjalian]

You probably saved the data in a completely different offset or something, which caused the game to crash.

Without knowing exactly what you did, I can't help you. Mind giving me something more to go on?

[thedudemonn]

Whats the name of room 121 for UoT >.> I wanna know >.>

[Metroid225]

Erm, please dont ban or block me or anything but, how do I zoom out dude... the UoT Tutorial Vid doesnt work. I realy need help. And what is the Kid Link Actor's name?

[TheTjalian]

It should just be s to zoom out. Also, Kid link's I think is object_link_child.zobj.

[PJCLink]

Okay, I tried out the program but I still don't know how to modify stuff.

[TheTjalian]

What do you want to modify? Tell me and I can try to help you. Do you want to move around actors? Modify models?

Get back to me :)

[Krukkie]

I would like to know how to use UoT

[TheTjalian]

There's a tutorial coming out in the next version of UoT, just be patient!

[Metroid225]

I would like to know what Links model name is. Im using V0.9. So please respond...

[TheTjalian]

Hey. Kid Link's model is object_link_child.zobj and Adult Link's model is object_link_boy.zobj. In order to edit the sword you'll need to modify the sword in Link's actual file - not object_gi_sword_1.zobj - that will edit the proper sword model found in the ToT.

[Metroid225]

Ok... When I try to load either of them up, screen comes blank... or blue.... No model anywhere... Both of them are missing... no display.... help...

[PJCLink]

Oops I'm terribly sorry for What I said in my previous comments I was wrong the program is real(thank god) and plus I finally got the program but I heard the one I got is a beta version. Do you forgive me for what said?  Btw nice vid!^-^

[PJCLink]

Um the link in the description leads to a forum site that takes you no where leading to getting UoT! >:(

[yalolol]

ZSO is where the UoT came from...

As long as you figured out it's real, it's fine. Lol

[SSB64]

dude theres a link in the mod/patches area of the forums

[Sheikah]

Very nice. I have picked up the UOT yet. I haven't been too active on the forums lately lol.

[LegendaryMember]

Wow, great work Teej. 1st comment!
