Mario 64 Level Importer by messiaen at 6:56 PM EST on March 7, 2010
This is a cool tool I have been working for a while and is now getting very usable:

It imports Wavefront .obj files as the main mesh of any level in Mario 64, includes object bank selectors plus a few other goodies

It's still limited (read documentation for more details), but one could do a superb hack with it.

Or, in the same time, ten thousand lousy hacks! Which seems more likely.

Awesome tool, though!

"Or, in the same time, ten thousand lousy hacks!"

so true :(

has there been any worthwhile SM64 hacks yet? all the ones i've seen are garbage unfortunately. proof of concept but nothing more.

great tool. huge potential in the right hands.

euch. really? looks pretty uninspired...
by nensondubois at 8:11 PM EST on March 10, 2010
It looks like a Marble Madness type Level.
by hcs at 10:35 PM EST on March 10, 2010
Looks like an engine test.

yeah. nice for what it is..... but i wanna see moooooarrrr. big levels built on inspiration and ideas. there's a lot of possibilities.

Funny, my BF (don't mind me please..) has been working on a way to get Nintendo64 geometry into Unreal series games, it all works out fine until we realize the textures dumped are non power of 2... (I wish this stupid limit never came into be, I thought 3DFX Glide cards handled non power of 2 texture dimensions JUST fine.. why must modern API's whine about it constantly?)

The converter itself though works fine, except the fact that Unreal Engine 1.0 fucking sucks with it's BSP based geometry system.. which causes the geometry we converted to horribly screw up during the map rebuild process in the game's editor, joy..

This level importer looks nice though, to bad I don't have anything to work with it on.... (that and I suck at making 3-D geometry beyond messing with simple primitive shapes, which end up looking totally retarded)

EDIT: Or maybe somehow, hack in C&C N64 geometry into this and have Mario go around destroying a NOD base... or something silly like that.

Its not the APIs fault, its the game engine's fault.

Have been working at N64 music importing (that is, the Mario/Zelda/Nintendo 1st party format) again:

Warning, that's just two weeks of development, there's still plenty of stuff to fix.

Mario 64 is a bit limited when it comes to using instruments (only one "set" at a time), but I'll see if can hack the sequence player to load all samples at once into extended memory and then have a master index.

Maybe someone is remembering me (iam quite a blockhead, provoked all the time long while ago, also with bad english knowledge [..and I tagged the Snowboard Kids and Rayman usffiles]).

Iam really very good in 3D know and if I know how to use the tool, which iam downloading right know, I will work on a very nice level.

U will see!

greetings from germany!

OK It took really a long time too figure it out,
but know I understand the handling of the textures, the levels and the arrangement of polygones.

Because here in Germany it is 23:00 PM, I just have one hour left for today.

But I will upload it later and u can play it if you like.
Next time I will give it more effort.

Ive added a map of mine instead of the "bob Omb Level" (First Level in SM64).

Its a very poor one,
but I will produce a cool one soon.

Greetings
