Well, these awful qualities happened because my attempts were to fully clone the original versions. So, upon fixing them, I'll NOT fully clone the alpha versions; I'll clone the alpha versions but I will add my own mods that time. {That's what Nintendo does with porting older tracks to Mario Kart 8} Status: Alpha Luigi's Mansion: Not started yet Pre-alpha Yoshi Circuit: Completed Early-based Tick-Tock Clock: Not started yet What's done on Pre-alpha Yoshi Circuit hack: Mixed with the final version. Statistics: Background = Pre-alpha {more clouds and hills} Course model = Kiosk Demo, with some changes to textures Lots of removed textured were restored 2 trees at the start are replaced with piranha plants 3 trees at the end are replaced with piranha plants A tree in the middle of the course is replaced by a piranha plant Piranha Plants have pipes below them like in the original Double Dash track {if you hit the pipes, you'll spin out because the pipes are part of the piranha plant texture. If I use the seperate pipe object, it would not be perfect.} More billboards Animated walls bug fixed When it'll be uploaded: I'll upload these 3 fixed courses after I finish them. And an extra thing to say: I ALWAYS test my hacks before uploading. |

20 minutes later... I now fixed the Luigi's Mansion and Tick-Tock Clock. {Yoshi Circuit was already fixed} It was very easy on fixing the Luigi's Mansion and Yoshi Circuit, but the Tick-Tock Clock fix was a pain in the ass to do... And I uploaded the new versions to Hack Store: http://store.dshack.org/index.php?/file/146-pre-alpha-x-final-gcn-yoshi-circuit-mashup/ http://store.dshack.org/index.php?/file/145-tick-tock-clock-early-base/ http://store.dshack.org/index.php?/file/144-alpha-luigis-mansion-replica/ |

Because you're not a Moderator in the Hack Store. You only need to test it on Real DS, because I've tested them on emulator and they work perfectly. |

Making a CT but want animated textures? Here's the easiest tutorial for that. Tools needed: MKDS Course Modifier 3 MKDS Course Modifier 4 A hex editor (MKDSCM 3 has a built-in one, otherwise HxD is a good choice) OK Let's Start! 1. Load up your ROM in MKDS Course Modifier 3 and extract the CARC file (I get nokonoko_course as example): .png) 2. Load up another CARC file (don't extract it) and extract its NSBTA file (if there's one): .png) 3. Load up the extracted CARC in MKDS Course Modifier 4 and add the NSBTA file (this can't be done in MKDSCM 3, so that's why I use MKDSCM 4): .png) 4. After you add the NSBTA to the CARC, save it. .png) 5. Now load MKDSCM 3 and replace the current CARC file with the new one with added NSBTA: .png) 6. Load the new CARC and right click the NSBMD file and choose "Open in Hex Editor". You should get a screen like this one. Look up for material names, they're at the first list of names. It's usually "dash" for most courses boostpads (this one is for nokonoko_course). If not, note the texture's material name somewhere (nokonoko_course's is "dash", as for most courses). .png) 7. Now right click the NSBTA file and choose "Open in Hex Editor". At the hex editor, fing the name for the material, boostpad ones are usually "dash". If not, then rename it accordingly to the texture's material name. *image is in step 6* 8. Now save the carc file. .png) RESULT  This will also work for the other textures too! Arrow signs are usually "ya" or "yajirusi", and such. Enjoy! |

You might set the name incorrectly. Try again. |
| Author | Posted on 2015/10/03 |
| Kitty Remilya Ambiance | This tutorial is outdated. Nowadays there's no more need to extract the SDAT, just load the SDAT with MKDS Course Modifier 4 and replace the SSEQ. You can also test there before saving it. There's no risk of corrupting and/or damaging the SDAT. |
| Author | Posted on 2015/10/04 |
| Kitty Remilya Ambiance | Then you could try another NSBTA. I didn't test all the NSBTA's. I used DK Pass NSBTA in this tutorial. |

I'm making a replica of pre-alpha MKDS from E3 2004, and I'm also adding a plenty of extra stuff, some of them being planned for MKDS. This hack is in early beta stages so many stuff is incomplete and there're some bugs Some stuff might differ in the final release. No release for now, but you can take a look at those screenshots:  And these gameplays: http://www.dshack.org/video.php?page=watch&id=12 http://www.dshack.org/video.php?page=watch&id=13 |

Most of the earlier stuff were found in the Kiosk Demo and Final ROMs so I used them and some stuff is my own, I marked my own stuff as "EXTRA, DOES NOT EXIST IN ORIGINAL" I've added E.Gadd because he was planned then became Dry Bones Birdo was also planned because of the pink Egg 1 kart (pink eggs belong to Birdo) MKDD Karts are also going to be in game because of that in one of the early menu screenshot in Kiosk Demo, there were MKDD karts Also, in the early MKDS gameplay from GDC 2005, you can hear some MKDD voices KARTS LIST: B-Dasher (smaller tires like in early screenshots) Standard MR Red Fire (Light Tripper/Dancer texture hack) Green Fire (Light Tripper/Dancer texture hack) Standard LG Streamliner Heart Coach (texture hack of Dragonfly) Standard PC Light Tripper Egg 1 (green) Standard YS Cucumber Mushmellow Standard TD 4-Wheel Cradle Rambi Rider Standard DK DK Jumbo (Dragonfly texture hack) Early Wario Kart (the blue one) Standard WR Dragonfly (original) Tyrant Standard BW Hurricane Power Flower Standard DS Bloom Coach (Dragonfly texture hack) GLA (Power Flower texture hack) (EXTRA, DOES NOT EXIST IN ORIGINAL) Standard GD 300SL (Brute texture hack) (EXTRA, DOES NOT EXIST IN ORIGINAL) W25 Silver Arrow (Cucumber Texture hack) (EXTRA, DOES NOT EXIST IN ORIGINAL) Standard WL Zipper Egg 2 (pink Egg 1) Standard BR ROB-LGS |

| Kitty Remilya Ambiance | Why would you import Kiosk Demo SDAT to Final? Can't you just replace ALL the SSEQ, SBNK and SWAR in the Final SDAT with their Kiosk Demo counterparts? Also, MKDS Kiosk Demo and Final have a different method to play characters' voices; Kiosk Demo has all the characters' voices in a single SWAR file and the Final version has seperate SWAR files for each character. |

For Birdo , you should use MKWii's low poly model since the Yoshi one looks really really weird , no offense in that but it doesn't look good. But then it'll be static (no animation), as I want to have all characters animated. |

What you're going to use: MKDSCM 3 or EFE Kiwi DS HxD or any other Hex Editor DS Sound Studio Step 1: Load your ROM with MKDSCM or EFE, and extract your SDAT file.  Step 2: Extract your SDAT file to somewhere on your computer.  Step 3: Load your SDAT file with Kiwi DS and extract it. The extracted file should appear in the same directory as the SDAT file.  Step 4: Load your SBNK file in the hex editor:  Step 5: Edit the values accordingly to these:  INFO: Attack Rate ranges from 00 to 7F. The value 7F will make the instrument play instantly. The lower the value, the instrument will start quieter and then become the normal volume. Decay rate ranges from 00 to 7F. The value 7F will play the instrument continously with normal volume, and a lower value will make the instrument start playing normally then continue quieter. Sustain rate ranges from 00 to 7F. It's a lot similar to decay rate. Release rate ranges from 00 to 7F. The lower the value, the more the instrument will be echoed. The value 7F will have no echo. Pan ranges from 00 to 7F. Lower value plays the instrument on the left, 40 will play the instrument centered and 7F will make the instrument play on the right. After editing, you can preview how your custom instrument sounds like using DS Sound Studio. Step 6: Load your SDAT file with DS Sound Studio:  Step 7: Right click on your SDAT file and replace it with the new one:  Step 8: Now save your SDAT file and use MKDSCM 3 or EFE to put your new SDAT file in your ROM:  While I used MKDSCM 3, EFE would be a better choice for games other than MKDS. I applied this tutorial for MKDS but it should work in other games as well, and as I said before, use EFE for other games' SDAT files. Hope this helps! UPDATE - December 9, 2017 I've just found a way to add new instruments to SBNK. To do so, when you dumped the SBNK file with Kiwi DS and loaded the SBNK file with an hex editor, just follow this procedure:  This is for single SWAV files, For multiple SWAV files, you can replace the three bytes "01 XX XX" shown in the screenshot above, with "11 XX XX". And for adding the details, you can add it like that: S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 S6 S7 S8 YY YY 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 XX XX S1 to S8 are the SWAV IDs, you can use up to 8 SWAVs. YY YY is 01 00. 01 to 10 are the instrument info shown in the screenshot, and you can repeat them with a different info. XX's are always 00. For example: 40 7F 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 04 00 01 00 3C 7F 7F 7F 78 40 06 00 00 00 3C 7F 7F 7F 78 40 00 00 In the example above, 40 is the pitch where the SWAV changes. In pitches 0 to 40, the SWAV 04 from the SWAR 01 plays (italicized here). In the pitches above 40, the SWAV 06 from SWAR 00 plays (underlined here). Here's a test video: When looking at to MKDS Beta SSEQ files by converting them to MIDI first, I've found out that the N64 Moo Moo Farm music had an unused track. It's MIDI instrument was "Music Box", which is a synth bass used in the musics of Shroom Ridge, SEQ_CIRCUIT2, final Figure-8/Mario Circuit, etc. Likely a leftover from an earlier version of the music. UPDATE - January 20, 2018 HOW TO ADD/REMOVE DRUMS TO THE DRUM KIT The three bytes starting from 0x238 is usually the pointer that tells where the drum kit is. i.e. For SBNK 73, 0x238 to 0x23A (three bytes) is 10 50 02, which tells that the drum kit starts from 0x250. There the first two bytes is the region. It tells which key pitches will be used, any pitch outside these boundaries are slient. The rest are the drum instruments. You can get more info by dumping the SBNK file with Kiwi DS. To add the missing drums, simply add the instruments (ex. 01 00 05 00 01 00 3C 7F 7F 7F 78 40, which makes 12 bytes), next to the last drum instrument before the next instrument pointer. After adding the new drums, change the second byte of the region (mentioned above) to a higher value, i.e. if it's "20 50", and you added two drums, change it to "20 52". Then, for the instrument pointers that are at the beginning of the file, since drums start from 0x250 (can be different for other SBNKs), anything after 0x250 also needs to be increased. For example, since we've added 2 instruments, one takes up 12 bytes, 12 is C in the hex, two instruments = 24 bytes, therefore being 18 in the hex, so if an instrument pointer is "11 12 05", it's going to be "11 2A 05". Apply the same to the filesize, too. Filesizes are two bytes in each: 0x8 and 0x14. Removing is basically the same as adding, but in reverse. |

What you need: MKDSCM 3 or EFE Audacity (only if your audio file requires editing) HxD Hex Editor Kiwi DS DS Sound Studio WAV2SWAV SWAV2SWAR Let's go!!! Step 1: Extract your SDAT file from your ROM: Step 2: Load your SDAT file with Kiwi DS: Step 3: Double click the SDAT file, find your SWAR file and extract the contents of it:  NOTE: If your audio file doesn't require editing, skip to Step 6. Otherwise, continue normally from Step 4. Step 4: Load Audacity, drag your instrument file and edit it:  Step 5: Export your edited audio as Microsoft WAV 16 bit PCM (it HAS TO BE MS WAV 16 bit PCM, or you can't convert to SWAV):  Step 6: Drag your new WAV file onto the WAV2SWAV executable to create your new SWAV file. Step 7: Load a hex editor and edit the values accordingly:  Step 8: Re-create your new SWAR file using SWAV2SWAR as seen here:  Step 9: Load DS Sound Studio, load your SDAT file and replace the target SWAR file with your edited one and test it in the SBNK file that uses the SWAR you're trying to edit (don't forget to dump SBNK files with Kiwi DS, or you can't know which SBNK instrument uses the SWAR/SWAV!):  Step 10: Now use EFE or MKDSCM 3 to install your new SDAT file to the ROM. NOTE: Steps 7 to 9 may take many tries, but keep trying until you get the best result. This always works for me, hopefully this works for you too! If so, I'm really glad to hear that. |

Does that happen to everyone, or just me? Whenever I get a PM, I don't see a notification. So I have to click on the "Notifications" button every time to see if I got a PM. In this case, if one gets a PM, an indicator should appear on the Notifications button to show that the user got a PM. This would make it easier to see the PMs the users get. |

Yup. SM64DSe only loads SM64DS ROMs. Perhaps you can replace one of the SM64DS BMD files with the Mario Hoops 3 on 3 one? MKDSCM 4 can also view BMD files, but it can't export. SM64DSe can export them, through. |

Well, I meant comparing the original MKDS SSEQ with your new one, not your old one with your new one. Also, did you modify the instruments in the SSEQ? Wrong instruments won't play in-game. Extract the original MKDS SSEQ, convert it to MIDI, load it with a MIDI editor, it should tell which instrument you need to use. |

It's SBNK 65 (SWAV 64) for the music and SBNK 22 (SWAV 25) for the special sound effects of the course. SBNK 19 (SWAV 22) is the sound effects for Luigi's Mansion. If you're saying "19 is Waluigi Pinball", it's the SSEQ 19. |

If the course images are meant to have only 16 colors, you can use GIMP and import your image there, then go to Image - Mode - Indexed, set the colors to 15. Then in GIMP, go to Windows - Dockable colors - Colormap. You'll get a palette. Export your course image's NCLR file, open the resulting NCLR with MKDSCM and edit the NCLR accordingly to the palette you've got in GIMP. Then import the new NCLR, and in GIMP, save your indexed (edited) image and import it into the NCGR using NSMBe. Hope this helps. |

Your model might not be working properly. This could mean: - Too big or improperly used textures - Too many materials Try to edit your model a bit and re-export it, then try converting that one instead. If there's no problem, the NSBMD creation might be taking very long. This happened to me once, and simplifying the materials and textures solved the problem for me. |

| Kitty Remilya Ambiance | Shouldn't take very long. To edit materials in Blender, you can use the "Materials" tab on the right side. |

Do your voices work in Time Trials and/or Missions? If so, your voice clips might be too big in file size. Try to lower the sample rate even lower than 8000hz (default MKDS voices rate) or use shorter voice clips with the 8000hz rate (a higher one should also work if the file size is small enough) |

Did you edit the Attack/Decay/Sustain/Release rates as well as notes & pan? Or you might be pointing to the wrong instrument number (SWAR or SWAV IDs). And yes all SBNKs are the same. Also, posting screenshots and/or videos related to the problem would be more helpful. |

You can do that in MKDS Course Modifier. Load your SDAT, click a SBNK file and on the right side, you can edit the SWAR values. Then save your SDAT. And from the SBNK hex editing tutorial: XX 00 YY 00 XX is the SWAV number and YY is the SWAR number. SWAR number ranges from 0-3, not 1-4. |

| Kitty Remilya Ambiance | Probably the game doesn't support SBNKs above 64 instruments. |
| Author | Posted on 2018/03/23 |
| Kitty Remilya Ambiance | But in MKDS SBNK 000 there was more than 64 instruments. |

| Kitty Remilya Ambiance | Probably an error in the SBNK. Dump your edited SBNK with Kiwi DS to check. |

| Kitty Remilya Ambiance | Try flipping the faces of the road in Blender, by pressing Ctrl+F, and then clicking "Flip Normals". Make sure the road faces/tris are selected. |

KCL stores the 3D collision data. Also make sure that you scaled your course model 16x bigger, then saved it as a seperate model, and use it to create the KCL. |

| Kitty Remilya Ambiance | Making new items would require ASM, but you can texture-hack the existing items. Item models are in MainRace.carc/Item. |

You can try editing the pointers, which is placed after the "NKM" title and before the "OBJI" title. |

I'm currently making a custom battle track, but I can't seem to get the NSBMD working properly. Here's how it looks like in Blender:  But when I convert it to NSBMD:  After loading the NSBMD, I load the NSBTX to get the textures to appear, but that also doesn't work. When I load the NSBTX, MKDSCM gives me a .NET Framework "Unhandled Exception" error.  Translation of the last line: The value InvalidArgument="0" is invalid for "SelectedIndex". How can I get my model to work? |
| Author | Posted on 2018/05/06 |
| Kitty Remilya Ambiance | Never mind, now I've fixed my problem, I've just put my textures in the same directory as the model, and it worked. It seems MKDSCM can't read texture files if placed outside of the model directory. |

| Kitty Remilya Ambiance | You need to edit the NCGR file to edit the graphics. BNCL file is for the placements of the graphics and the NCER is for the graphics for the BNCL to use. |

| Kitty Remilya Ambiance | You can do it with any 32-bit version of 3DS Max or Maya, that supports the NITRO plugins. (maximum version is 2011, later versions don't work I think) |

On that screenshot, you can resize the palette window to get 16 colors per row (I see 19 colors per row in the screenshot). That way, you can choose which palette to edit easier. (DO NOT resize the window while editing palettes, or your changes will be reversed, so if you're going to resize the window, do it before editing) When you get 16 colors per row: Row 1 = Mario Row 2 = Donkey Kong Row 3 = Toad Row 4 = Bowser Row 5 = Peach Row 6 = Wario Row 7 = Yoshi Row 8 = Luigi Row 9 = Dry Bones Row 10 = Daisy Row 11 = Waluigi Row 12 = R.O.B. Row 13 = Shy Guy Hope this helps ;) |

Palette: CharacterKartSelect.carc >>> select_character_gp_m_o.nclr Texture: CharacterKartSelect_XX.carc >>> select_character_gp_name_m.nce.ncgr This is for the character names in the character selection screen. |

The background is in GeneralMenu.carc: back_screen_X_b_00.nclr (palette) back_screen_X_b_00.ncgr (texture) back_screen_X_b_00.nscr (tile model) Replace X with "m" for top screen and "s" for bottom screen. |

| Kitty Remilya Ambiance | KCLs can be edited with a hex editor, but that will take some practice. Or you can make a new KCL from scratch, using MKDSCM or EFE. However, the model you're going to use for the KCL has to be 16x bigger than the original track model. |

MIDI keyboards aren't needed, but using one will make the MIDI composition process easier. You can just click on the Piano Roll screen (View > Piano Roll Editor) to add or remove notes. A post already said a MIDI keyboard isn't needed, but that one was deleted due to it being only one word, so here's a more detailed version of the answer. |
