Talk:Wiimms SZS Tools/CT-CODE Extension

Incomplete Information

I'd like to make my own Pack with this, but the instructions seem incomplete. From the point of creating a strap.szs file, there's no explanation on the layout and cups, and for the custom BMG messages. Could anyone with correct knowledge about CT-CODE please fill in this part of the information for people who need it? (ME).

Yes, they are incomplete. But Wiimmfi and my others projects has a higher priority for me. Sorry -- Wiimm (talk) 22:42, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

I don't care. Wiimmfi is a very good thing. Maybe someone else could complete the information.

bash code to create a strap

Here you can find the code of my distribution creator. It creates the strap files including the CTGPR extension. Because of my limited time I don't give support.

Can't Change StaticR.rel

HI Wiimm, I'm having trouble changing the online region in my StaticR.rel file (This file is the original pal version). I Enter The Command: wstrt patch --region 13590 StaticR.rel And I get this: wstrt patch --region 13590 StaticR.rel PATCH StaticR.rel * File not modified: STATR:StaticR.rel

Also I'm Using Cygwin on Windows.

--Wg93589 (talk) 03:45, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

It seems to be a bug since allowing different regions for battle and race.

Wiimm (talk) 20:03, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

The patch is applied, but not registered as modification.

Workaround: append -od NEWFILE.rel and the patched file will stored as new file including the patch. wstrt analyse NEWFILE.rel will proof it.

Black screen on boot with CT Code enabled distribution

Hi, I've been working on Lumafreak's CT Distribution and when I start the game, I get a black screen on boot. Oddly, the Wiimote can still connect, implying that the game is endlessly loading something. Not all slots are defined yet, as I don't have all of the track files yet. Analyzing the CT Code tex0 shows that it is identical to the CTGP 1.02.0003 CT Code tex0 (barring differences in the cup and track slot data). Please help! Aplumafreak500 (talk) 16:28, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Never mind, it's fixed now. Aplumafreak500 (talk) 22:33, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, But I didn't notice this before. Also I have no idea about it. -- Wiimm (talk) 20:43, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

It was due to the folder with the strap files not being named correctly. However, using GCT with the distrib (for things like speed mods) blackscreens on boot with the Wiimote not being able to connect at all. Aplumafreak500 (talk) 00:42, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Fixed that, too, using MKW Hack Pack as a base. Aplumafreak500 (talk) 19:38, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Adding Ct-code causes black screen

So whenever I try and add the ct-code to the main.dol it blackscreens and I don't know why. —Bladestorm227 (talk) 13:37, 01 September 2018 (UTC)

It's impossible to help without concrete examples or details. -- Wiimm (talk) 14:53, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Try it without additional cheat codes. -- Wiimm (talk) 14:57, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

I have and it still crashes the game without cheat codes. —Bladestorm227 (talk) 12:55, 04 September 2018 (UTC)
