Talk:Wiimms SZS Tools

@wimm Can you make the Yaz0 compression page?

I can't find out how it works...

kHacker35000vr 17:04, 6 April 2011 (CEST)

Yes, it's already planned, At the moment I make the U8. Perhaps my sources may help:

• yaz0 header
• decompression function
• compression funtion

Do you need it now?

I have noticed that you can't shift kmp points without encoding or decoding files, this can be very annoying. Maybe you can add a function for this.
kHacker35000vr 21:26, 1 January 2012 (CET)

Do you mean the new options --shift -scale .... ?

For them there is no decoding needed.

Wiimm 22:18, 1 January 2012 (CET)

I have tested alot of things but didn't manage to do without decoding, I'm not used to barch scripts at all but at least it worked.

kHacker35000vr 00:45, 2 January 2012 (CET)

Again: Do you mean the new options --shift -scale .... ?

If not: What do you mean exactly?

Perhaps this may help. If I work with a track, I have extracted it with "wszst extract --decode". After editing the KMP text file I create a new szs with "wszst create track.d --overwrite --fast" and a second later the file track.szs is ready. A second script put the track in an already extracted ISO image, patch the track names in the BMG files, and create and copy a new image to my WBFS drive. This takes about 40 seconds. And then I'm ready to test & play directly on my wii.

Forgot to say, I use the --shift command and I didn't have to decode it to txt file. I used wkmpt DECODE course.kmp --shift x,y,z but it would be handier if there was a way just to edit the kmp without decoding to .txt.

kHacker35000vr 11:23, 2 January 2012 (CET)

Then read this and use "wkmpt encode ..." as explained here. And don't worry about encode/decode: Both commands read both file types (binary+text) and only the output is encoded (binary) or decoded (text).

For some reason my kmp froze after using your tool, could you look at my kmp? here, I can't find any error

kHacker35000vr 14:46, 2 January 2012 (CET)

Please give the the track before modifying too. Wiimm 16:02, 2 January 2012 (CET)

Here's the whole track: [1]

kHacker35000vr 16:09, 2 January 2012 (CET)

Was the freeze there before shifting? If yes: Please give me the KMP from before.

Wiimm 17:40, 2 January 2012 (CET)

Got it!

I havechanged 2 things in 1 turn:

• It was either that some enemy points are to close together (I know this problem for item points).
• Or it was (more possible) the mandatory checkpoints:
  • Sections 2+3 are parallel, but only section 3 has a point with mode==4
  • Section 6 has out of order point with mode==2

Here is my KMP.

Wiimm 18:36, 2 January 2012 (CET)

The course still freezes before loading, and because I used the kmp of the orginal model it should work fine. The only thing outside the szs modifier I did was shifting the points.

kHacker35000vr 20:35, 2 January 2012 (CET)

Did you see my second message: I got it! Wiimm 21:17, 2 January 2012 (CET)

I have downloaded the one you gave in the link, I assumed that it was the fixed one. --kHacker35000vr 21:46, 2 January 2012 (CET)

I have tested it again without freeze. Here is the complete track. The zip files contains 2 versions: In one I have removed all invalid objects with ID 0. No problems with both tracks (tested on a Wii).

Wiimm 23:22, 2 January 2012 (CET)

It's still not loading, not on the wii and not on dolphin. It couldn't be the slot because I have replaced ridgehighway_course as it should. Which mode do you use when testing?

kHacker35000vr 10:55, 3 January 2012 (CET)

I'm used slots 3.1 and 3.2 (star cup) for the tests. I haven't tried he special slot 4.2 (moonview), because many tacks freeze here.

Wiimm 10:59, 3 January 2012 (CET)

Did you create your console with Visual C# 2010 Express using C Sharp? And could you send me the .cs file? Thanks. --HackSizer 08:48, 7 April 2012 (CEST)
