SM64 Decomp Tutorial 3: Warps

Episode 2: • SM64 Decomp Tutorial 2...
This episode explains how warps work and how you can add them to a level. I've also created some animations to help in understanding how warps are set up as they can be a bit confusing.

This is a really helpful series. You deserve a lot more views.

[@deinemama6303]

Please continue this series. With only three videos you've helped me so much already

[@Gramini]

Keep up the great work. I used to be all in at SM64 ROM hacking almost a decade ago, but due to school, I no longer had the time for it. Now, me being a proper programmer, I'm looking into it again and your tutorials are helpful to get into the new toolset.

[@minatchi]

thank you so much for these videos very informative and entertaining

[@kintaro182]

it's my childhood dream to create my own game, maybe one day with this as help :) amazing content!

[@silverthefox5363]

i hope you make a tutorial of how to import and export.

[@TheWharbleHarble]

Can someone explain or link me to how to set up spawn warps in general?

[@asliceofbread5623]

How do I add a warp to a star so it'll warp me back to the castle? Thanks.

[@joevaghn457]

So I'm watching a bunch of these rom hacking and decomp project videos, and I have one important question: Can you add fundamentally new worlds? Instead of changing the ones already in the game? I'm trying to add new levels to the castle, but I want to keep what's already in the game and not really alter them too much (let alone fundamentally change them into something else)

[@SM123OfficialChannel]

can you do how to change music and how to import existing levels into blender
thanks :)

[@Bitlytic]

I can do music in the future, but if you want to import existing vanilla levels into blender you can go to this document: docs.google.com/document/d/1pSYR91UiMVKnP3PyvJiCdwRF5wNS_nZzMe-r2WPQUJk/edit
And down in the extra links section you should find a zip file with .dae rips from the base game ready to import into blender.

[@SM123OfficialChannel]

@@Bitlytic well, I already know how to import levels into blender lol

[@SM123OfficialChannel]

@@Bitlytic btw ur content is so underrated

[@Bitlytic]

@@SM123OfficialChannel I appreciate it, I want to make a music tutorial eventually, but until I get around to doing that, you can check this tutorial out by PablosCorner, it's ~25 minutes long and should give you a decent idea of what to do

How do I add a Door that warps Mario to another level?

[@Heyzeus18]

How would I be able to add new warps to existing levels?

[@Bitlytic]

Unfortunately if you mean vanilla sm64's levels, you'll have to do it manually by opening the level's script.c and adding a new warp_node and warp object. I'd recommend looking at BOB's script.c as it has both.

[@arctic_mountain]

How do you setup instant warps?

[@Bitlytic]

I'm actually working on this exact thing for a video, but I can give you a good starting point:
Surfaces -
Floor type "Instant Warp 1B" will trigger instant warp 0x01
1C, 1D, and 1E will trigger 0x02, 0x03, and 0x04 respectively.
Warps -
Add a warp node to the area, set type to instant and ID between 0x01 and 0x04
Area is the destination you'll go to (Can't warp between levels using instant)
Offset is where mario will be teleported to offset from his current position (I don't remember if this is in blender units, where Z is up or SM64 units where Y is up)
Anytime mario goes over the warp surface, it'll trigger its respective warp and offset mario and place him in the new area
Let me know if I wasn't clear with anything
