Super Mario 64 - Hacking Tutorial - A Custom Level

SM64 CUSTOM LEVEL

How to make an extended, expanded and obj imported ROM?

With obj imported ROM i mean that you have patched the obj_import6.ppf to the ROM. Now here is how to make that whole thing.
HOW TO MAKE A READY ROM FOR LEVEL IMPORTING?
1. Open ROM Extender(1.3b) and choose your clean SM64 rom. Now just wait.
2. When it's finished, drag the rom to rom_expand.exe.
3. Open PPF-O-Matic. Choose the SM64 ROM for ISO file and then choose "obj_import6.ppf" for patch and apply. You're DONE!

WHERE SHOULD I PUT MY PLUGINS?
Put the obj exporter and triangulate plugin to: Google/Google Sketchup X/Plugins

Google Sketchup 8 has already came! I gotta download that one....

Remember these:
-Do not put any text to your level, or make your own low-polygon text.
-Texture only the outside parts of the objects. Do not texture inside/opposite parts, where Mario should not be.
-You must have NET.framework 3.5, or the graphics are not working correctly.

If you have any questions, just ask!

I put the level in the rom, but when i start the map Mario spawns outside of the map?

[Tomatobird8]

@InternetRetroReviews you can change the spawn on Toads tool 64.

[MetalSparks]

Both versions 1.6 and 1.7 won't run the extended, expanded, and patched file, even when the default memory size is set to 8MBs instead of 4MBs. ...What do I do?

[Tomatobird8]

@MetalSparks then i don't really have an idea. You do use 1.0 USA Version of SM64?

How to expand the Rom?

[Tomatobird8]

@Mariobowserful drag your rom to expand.exe

[InternetRetroReviews]

@Tomatobird8 i cant go on the lvl with tt64, when i am about to edit the level it says index out of range, i replaced bobomb battlefield

[sskorpiana]

I have a tip how to make large levels with textures without strech: You need to make the area subdivided in lines, so texture mapping problems are gone.

[babydog2011]

[cedrico2k]

What the? My Obj Exporter didn't work!

[TheCubie123]

@Tomatobird8 Heyo dude, this tutorial is awesome!! it helped me out a lot! except for one thing.

when i tried loading my rom on project 64, it messed up!

it said something like 'Unknown cic chip' or something. I'm mad. but thanks for the tutorial it was really good

[sskorpiana]

How I can fix the textures? They are strech.
