Super Mario 64 Retexture!

[mesosade]

I think i'll release my first 'proper' retexture now for super mario 64 here:

but first this is what it is...

what is retexturing?

it's when you use a plugin such as RICE for project 64 to overlap current textures in the game without illegaly modifing them.

where to get rice...

here's a link here (Open in new window): http://www.box.net/public/y3lfe6zqt6

what's in this retexture?

so far i've done the GUI and most of the of the castle yard in nes sprites...here's a screenshot (note: it's an old one so it's a bit more updated than the screen shot)

http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk/mymod1.JPG

how to install

i suggest using project 64 for this because i don't know if this works on any other one...once downloaded rice extract than put the files in the plugin program file for project 64 once done delete the file that tells you to 'move bmglib to emu folder' so it doesn't confuse emu and as it says move the bmglib file to emu folder (the main one) NOT plugin folder! once that has been done create a folder called hires_texture (it must be exact!) than once you extract my project (which should be attaed below) move the SUPER MARIO 64 folder into hires_texture. After all that stuff is done boot up the emu go to settings make graphic plugin rice and go to configure graphic settings make sure advanced settings is turned ON after that go to texture settings and click load hires textures if available. AFTER ALL THAT load up the mario 64 rom(being your own of course) than VOILA! I hope you all enjoy here it is now.

[mesosade]

[therick]

The rick

[mesosade]

soz about that it's not for psp it for some reason it has that psp logo and got moved here, strange i no... update: (oh, they've moved it now...thank god for that)

[Squidman]

ok.....i have no idea wut to do with the files in the rar.....it's just a bunch of .png files, so can someone help me on this?

[mesosade]

u need to put the foldr saying SUPER MARIO 64 in the rar into the hires_texture folder which you have created in your plugin folder

[Hawq]

If you like that theres lots more over at Emutalk (http://www.emutalk.net/forumdisplay.php?f=110) theres a good many wip ones there as well, I'm looking forward to the Evangelion one myself. 1964 works well with that rice plugin as well for anyone preffering that over PJ64, cant think why they would though really.

[mesosade]

i tried to join them countless times but i NEVA get a confirmation message it starts to make me go crazy:eek: hold it! don't lure them away from my project! i neeeeeeeeeeeeeed fame:D

[mesosade]

umm i c no interest in this mod...c'mon i need some pplz to check it out and let me know what they think otherwise it'll be lost within all the old threads...FOREVER!!!!

[Squidman]

Ok, I did what you said to do....and i can't get it workn'.....

correct me if i'm wrong:
But i make a folder in the plugins folder called "hires_texture" and put the folder from the rar called "Super Mario 64", then i just run PJ64, start the rom and it it's supposed to work.......

[mesosade]

did you change the graphic settings or at least go to settings and say to use rice plugin for graphics?

[RedKing14CA]

you shoul dchange mario too.. i know he wore a dif. costume.. i also know n one ever changes mario cuz he supposedly does not have any textures!

[mesosade]

yea he doesn't so i'm stuck on that and if i went to edit the code on the room i'd get p00ned by nintendo's shigsy...probably

[Squidman]

did you change the graphic settings or at least go to settings and say to use rice plugin for graphics?

Ok, I'm like a n00b with PJ64......so, how teh hell do i do that?

[mesosade]

:P ummm go to system then to settings set the video plugin to rice and...WELL IT'S ON THE TOP!!!blegh...c'mon dude it ain't that hard !! but anyway after you selescted the plugin go to graphi settings go untick hide advanced options go to texture filter and tick load hi_res textures if available...

[Wantingtoeatpizza]

Well... you CAN edt the colors using a Gameshark code...
OH and Great work! It doesnt look complete though... And why are the blocks sideways on the Bom-om stage?

[mesosade]

ummmm i would just like to let everyone know that for now the prject is being discontnued till further notice for i'm currently occupied testing a new lua game

[JM_838]

Hey, I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff, so I need a little help. I can't find the texture options. What menu are they under?

[mesosade]

u might need to turn hide advanced options off if you can't find them

[ganondorf]

[ganondorf]

If anyone wants it, ill attach a file.

[kcajblue]

there is no reason to bump an old thread

but since you did.
use the edit button.
dont double post.

[buildit92]

its mad cool, good job

[Mark30001]

I see nothing wrong with reviving old threads, as long as there is a constructive post to follow, which there is.

Great job, it's looking nice!

If I were you, I would create a new thread in the Submit News (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=117) forum section about your Retexture Pack, along with a vBulletin forum attachment to the file to download. It would surely attract more attention once the thread is moved to a more appropriate news section. ;)

[kcajblue]

its true it was a constructive post.
but he did double post.

[mesosade]

wow never had one of my old threads bumped before. wow this is one of my old packs...i forgot bout this lol.

[ryan2006]

could these textures be used in the psp n64 emu? that would be kool

[Hawq]

could these textures be used in the psp n64 emu? that would be koolNo they cant, to use them you need to be using Rice's video plugin v6.1.1 beta10 and the PSP emulators dont

[Safari Al]

Hey i'm new,

When I run PJ64 1.6 , it starts to load and it fails and i get a message saying "The instruction at "0x77fcb0c8" referenced memory at "0xffde8c42". The memory could not be "written".

What should I do?:(

[mesosade]

soz dude this was actually discontinued however it's being resumed once i get all my original textures for edting sorted out again.

[Safari Al]

could you at least tell me what to do?

[mesosade]

I've never had that error so im not sure what the problem is. soz besides im completely redoing this under the new rice plugin. wait till me next release :D

[ganondorf]

kool mesosade, cant wait.

np354, are u installin everything, make sure u install the plugins, dlls and everything or it wont work.

[Safari Al]

i got everything the way its supposed to be and i've probably checked it bout a couple hundred times. I have Rice's plugin v 6.1.1 beta 10. It does it whenever i try to load any textures.

[ganondorf]

where are you putting the textures in?

[Safari Al]

C:\Program Files\Project64 1.6\Plugin\hires_texture\SUPER MARIO 64\SUPER MARIO 64

There was one time when i changed the render engine to OpenGl and it started to work but all the textures were movin everywhere.

[ganondorf]

try using rice 6.0

[Safari Al]

srry but can't seem to find a link:(

[Safari Al]

nvr mind i got 1

[ganondorf]

did it work

[Safari Al]

Yes it finally worked:thumbup: Thnx for your help.

If anyone else has this problem, I got the rice video plugin 6.1.0 and under "General Default Options" in the "Configure Graphics Plugin" options i checked "Normal Combiner."

:thumbup: :thumbup:

[ganondorf]

glad to help you np354

[samthegreat68]

that is so sick looking i love it!

[Safari Al]

is there a place on here where i could post some Gameshark codes? I got a lot.

[pspbug]

Yo mesosade I try to do this but when I try it says Failed to load plugin. What should I do?

[ganondorf]

your putting the bmg.lib file in the wrong place. You have to put it in the folder or place where your emulator is.

[mesosade]

i would recontinue this but now that someone has copied this idea i need to come up with a new idea...i was actually thinking of a good one...it envoles ms paint a LOOOOOT of ms paint.

[supersoni88]

[ganondorf]

So you are the one who made that NES edition. I've seen all of your videos. Impressive work.


So, are you through with retexturing?

[CoinCollector]

Oh yes, I like your NES edition, supersoni88! It's very nice. It certainly gives the game a retro feel.

[A1steaksa]

IM A N00B AND I CANT FIGURE THIS OUT :confused:PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

hi there!

i noticed some of you have been sucessful with retexuring and was wondering if you could help me.

the images have been dumped to their respective folders, but the emulator seems unwilling to load my modified imaged.

below is my dir structure:
Plugin

├hires_texture
││
│└SUPER MARIO 64
│ │
│ ├ci_bmp
│ ├ci_bmp_with_pal_crc
│ ├ci_by_png
│ ├png_all
│ └png_by_rgb_a

└texture_dump
│
└SUPER MARIO 64
├ci_bmp
├ci_bmp_with_pal_crc
├ci_by_png
├png_all
└png_by_rgb_a

also this error pops up whenever i access settings:
failed to load ricevideo6.1.3DX9.dll
(the file is alongside plugins)
