It's all possible, though, you would only be able to make it look like Link was dual weidling without any sort of ASM or C-Hack. Also, the keyblade model import was already done by Sanguinetti:

Just wondering but why wouldn't you want to use the blade beam used by the fierce diety? Just curious.

Hey there, Fiction. Long time no see

This is really starting to piss me off... So I made a hack in C programming language (OOT Debug) for a custom item I'm making for a personal project. I'm finally near completion and I decide to try to compile the hack along with its hook. It seems that it can run through the compiler correctly, but when the object(s) pass into the linker the script fails to complete. Here's what happens when I run the makefile: palacios@palacios-PC /c/n64tree-win32/Sword_of_Sages $ make ../root/bin/mips64-gcc -fno-builtin -std=gnu99 -nodefaultlibs -march=vr4300 -mtu ne=vr4300 -I../include -I. -Os -mabi=32 -mno-gpopt -c -o Sword_of_Sages.o Swo rd_of_Sages.c ../root/bin/mips64-ld -o Sword_of_Sages.elf Sword_of_Sages.o -T Sword_of_Sag es.x -L . Sword_of_Sages.o: In function `_start': Sword_of_Sages.c:(.text+0x50): undefined reference to `memcpy' Sword_of_Sages.c:(.text+0x50): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `m emcpy' make: *** [Sword_of_Sages.elf] Error 1 As far as I can tell, and I'm pretty damn confident, I made no such use of anything with the term "memcpy." Maybe it's a library? Perhaps, MinGW (GCC for windows) is making some unwanted optimizations? I suppose I could try checking .text section of the compiled object. Anyone who cares to help me, thanks.

I may not be available all the time (college and helping with one other project) but I would like to contribute anything I can to this project.

A sequel would be awesome... Didn't you have work for a sequel already done? I seem to remember something on glitchkill that hinted at that.

I downloaded and burned the demo but the full game is a whole different story... hell no; the developers put a lot of effort into the creation of this game and I only feel it's necessary to show respect and pay a measley price. And if someone's gonna complain about the price then you obviously didn't prepare for this release

Holy fuck. I'm deciding whether or not download this or wait less than 12 days for the game to come out...

Wow... I see so many similarities between this game and OoT & TP. Did I see Elden Bridge and the Mirror of the Twilight? *Goes and replays Twilight Princess*

Harp of Ages?

Nice to see people taking stabs at modding/hacking MM. Makes me wanna start modding again..

LOL

Sounds like your day couldn't get much better, heh. Happy birthday!

I'm beginning to see what xdaniel's getting at; it doesn't bother me much, though. I think it still looks great!

So I'm back with the same model as seen above. I can import it just fine with Obj2Area but SharpOcarina causes the game to crash while stuck on the loading screen. Could it be because of what Acraith said?: ^^ I wouldn't think so... I want to try and keep from having to upload the model but if it's an absolute must to figure out what the problem is, I will.

May I ask why you would want to use such an old program when there are so many better ones like revisions 1-13 of obj2area and SharpOcarina?

Does anyone here play Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst? On the ULTIMA servers? I've been pretty bored lately and decided to pick this game up after 2 years of not playing. Be warned, though... I'm a pretty low level By the way, does anyone know if the SCHTHACK servers are still up?

FUUUUU.....

Yes, I know all about that blue & white polygons mumbo jumbo and can assure you that my model has its faces correctly reversed and "white". Anyways, the issue is not about collision (well, not entirely), the problem is the weird number of mesh groups and polygon types. EDIT: After a little bit of tinkering with my model, I got seperate polygon types working where they're supposed to be. I still have graphical errors with the textures in the preview but I can manage with that. Also, I still have a billion mesh groups in that one room in the picture above... it's probably model related. ANOTHER EDIT: I figured out why I was getting so many mesh groups. It seems that the PRO8 Exporter makes groups of polygons that all "touch" or are connected by vertices. For example, we see this: Each one of the platforms (none of them are connected to another poly): 6 The turret top (it isn't actually touching any other poly): 1 A doorway (due to my lazy modelling, it isn't connected to any other poly): 1 What's left (Everything else are all in connected in some way): 1 Total number of mesh groups within that room: 9 ^^ And we see on the screen that there are a total of 9 mesh groups... And I see the exact same thing happening in a few other rooms which makes me even more sure that that is the problem.

So today was the first day I tried to use SharpOcarina... major confusion. I know the mesh maps and collision of my model import because I had done it a couple of months ago with Obj2Area. I have read the readme but still am a little confused so I'll come to this thread to post my questions: In the mesh scene, I separated each room by grouping and exporting each individual one with SketchUp PRO8's exporter. I had even made groups of certain textures within rooms I would like to edit individually for things such as translucency, backface-culling, exits, and climable collision. Here's some pictures of what I'm talking about: Groups of each individual room- Grouping of two textures within the turret- With the collision scene, I had read somewhere earlier that the model HAD to be one group in the model (or somewhere along those lines). Inside the group, I included groups for exit and climable collision just in-case because Obj2Area used to seperate polygon types by components and groups. More pictures: Grouping the entire collision scene- Grouping exits and other collision types- So after exporting individual rooms of the mesh scene and the entire collision scene, I proceed to importing with SharpOcarina.... And I get this: In one room I get a bunch of "Mesh[X] Group1 Model"- way more than I remember grouping. I also get a few missing textures in the preview- And I can't see that exit collision I want so dearly in another room- Perhaps it's because I grouped each individual room?... I don't know what I'm doing wrong. NOTE: Collision- 4034 Faces Mesh- 4921 Faces

I don't usually play 2D Zelda games (much less mods) but this one has caught my interest.. I look foward to a trailer.

Thanks for spelling things out for me, spinout. So if I wanted my code to always be executed, I would try to hook into a function/routine that is always running?

I personally loved Twilight Princess. Anyways, Skyward Sword just seems to be getting better and better with every detail.

So after awhile of studying source code by a few hackers (spinout, frauber, ZZT, Hectamatatortron), I made a practice hack in C (originally C++ but I wasn't so sure g++ could be made to target MIPS...) and now I come to the issue of creating a hook. I don't quite understand what a hook is other that the fact that it "hooks" into the memory to execute the code. How would I create one for printing text in the most efficient way possible? Thanks for any help.
