Delfino Plaza (HUB)

[Glem3]

So I've been working on Delfino Plaza for the past day, the result is attached. For this to work, you also need to replace "AsteroidC" with the latest Delfino Plaza import, which I will include in the following post.

What has been done:

- Delfino Plaza replaces AsteroidC (Thanks NWPlayer123!)

- Full textures + Collision (Thanks Blank!)

- Yoshi has been added

- Some coins have been added

- Some coconuts have been added in the place of durians

- Dash Pepper and Blimp Fruit have been added (Blimp Fruit crashes)**

- Normal gravity

- Somewhat-functioning camera (sometimes gets stuck)

- Bowser Gates blocking access to underground tunnels (they don't work properly)

- Sky background from Fluffy Bluff has been added

What needs to be done:

- Replace "AsteroidLowC" with the Delfino Plaza model as well-- currently, the level disappears when you get too far away because the original model, AsteroidC, has a low poly model swapout that replaces the model once you reach a certain distance.

- Add many more coins around the level

- Add in "Sun" (it's already added, but not visible for some reason)

- **Add Blimp Fruit to Starship Mario's UseResource

- Add collision to the lighthouse and blue coin hut

- Add in SMS Palm trees

-Add the giant shine sprite to the shine gate

- Add in SMS Pianta statue (or, help me find the "base" for SMG2's pianta statue)

- Add functioning water

- Block pipes somehow (Level entrances. Perhaps we could place bowser statues over them?)

- Add in atmospheric details, pelicans, butterflies, etc.

- Get awnings/umbrellas working (requires altered collision types)

- Windows need to be fixed (you can see through them, but in a weird way... everything inside is blue)

- Yoshi fruits need to be added in place of the bananas and other fruits of SMS. Coconuts will replace durians.


Ideas:

- If we are able to add stars to this hub, it might be fun to have a star like the durian challenge, where you have to kick a coconut over to a treasure chest for a star (this is a thought for AFTER the demo)

- If there are any objects we have that ONLY dash yoshi can break through (I can't think of any), we could add a secret star JUST for dash yoshi, it would be really cool.

I like the idea of importing Delfino Plaza, but it doesn't make any sense as the hub.

[Glem3]

It's only a part of the hub; whatever the real hub is will be parked OVER Delfino Plaza. In the demo, this "real" hub will be the comet observatory, but in the final hack, it will hopefully be an entirely original hub.

Finished the UseResource

[NWPlayer123]

And retried to add DP in as a low. If this does not work, we are not getting a low model in until we have full model importing

[NWPlayer123]

They are both in Dropbox now.
EDIT: After reading, Glem3, it's easy to add in the manholes, because I already found the model and collision for them
Want me to convert them and add them in?

[Glem3]

I think it makes more sense to have something covering them than having them being impossible to ground pound them. We can just say that bowser has blocked the path to the sewers.

[NWPlayer123]

I'm only thinking about sizes, glem3. How tall are the statues?

[Glem3]

I made a typo (now fixed). I don't know how tall the statues are, I think I'll add the bowser statues myself. All the placement stuff, I can do. What I need you to do is:

- Add in SMS Palm trees

-Add the giant shine sprite to the shine gate

- Add in SMS Pianta statue (or, help me find the "base" for SMG2's pianta statue)

- Add collision to the lighthouse and blue coin hut

- ***Create a version of the collision where there is NO surface-of-water collision. ONLY the bottom of the ocean should have collision.

That's your to-do list. On blank's to do list (I hope you read this blank):

- Get awnings/umbrellas working (requires altered collision types)

- Windows need to be fixed (you can see through them, but in a weird way... everything inside is blue)
________________________________________________________________________________________________________

On my to do list:

- Add many more coins around the level

- Add in "Sun" (it's already added, but not visible for some reason)

- Add functioning water

- Add in Starbits

- Block pipes somehow (Level entrances. Perhaps we could place bowser statues over them?)

- Add in atmospheric details, pelicans, butterflies, etc.

- Yoshi fruits need to be added in place of the bananas and other fruits of SMS. Coconuts will replace durians.

Oooooh you wanted the other hub above Delfino Plaza? That's actually a really nice idea, I thought you just meant having the two completely separate

[NWPlayer123]

Oh! Glem3. Blocking off the enterances I can easily do. I would just edit the collision so it won't let you in
That kind of collision I CAN do. And if we are fixing awnings and such, we'd need a file that uses a .pa, so AsteroidC would be NO GOOD.

[NWPlayer123]

And also, we need to get full text editing so we can change who says what (LBL1) and figure out what each of the Piantas needs to say. Does anybody know how to make NPCs walk around? (like in SMS, some of them walked around). Actually, once I finish m next to nil homework tonight, I might try doing TheMario101's Pianta swap experiment again and just find an NPC that is the only one so it is easy to find and replace in the LBL1 section. And if it crashes, SM64DS, I'll be sure to let you know where.

@glem3: About the awnings/umbrellas, I think I'll be ready to release the next version of my collision importer in a day or two. It will make it possible to edit surface types. The windows on the other hand probably wont be working any time soon, I'm afraid.

NWPlayer123: No need to to find a new file, AsteroidC didn't even have a .kcl file to begin with and you can easily add a .pa file as well.

[NWPlayer123]

And I think I can add in the Blue Coin hut and lighthouse by exporting the model which has them and taking the wireframe and adding it into the collision.
