BlackJax, it seems as if the Mario Kart Wii hacking community is a step ahead of you

They got imported characters into the game. 404 even made a stage using that method.

Segtendo, can you send me a link? I'm interested <3.

The MK Wii hacking thread is in "On-Topic," while 404 just released his stage (Aperature Science [Portal FTW])

They're not rigged.
If they are, then wtf how do you rig an obj model without support for bones.

I'm just saying that the fact they got custom models to work in game is amazing.

That is all.

They aren't rigged. They're positioned using 3DS Max, and they can't be animated. /:

So we're somewhere on the same page as them, maybe.

They're not rigged, you're correct. It's a method that lends itself to stages, which can use multiple models.

Seg, I can't find the thread ;~;

I've known about obj imports being possible to do n stuff.
DAE importing is more for character imports, but it can be used for stages too.
I've been looking at some obj model imports to learn some default settings from them

Default Settings = the stuff about the shaders ?

That and a few other things

Thank you sir.

Ok, I have a better way to group primitives working.

Went from this (the first test that just happened to work):

Code:

                for (int i = 0; i < Triangles.Count; i += 3)
                {
                    TriangleGroup group = new TriangleGroup();
                    group.Triangles = new List<Triangle>();
                    group.nodeIds = new List<int>();
                    if (!(i >= Triangles.Count))
                    {
                        group.Triangles.Add(Triangles[i]);
                        if (group.nodeIds.IndexOf(Triangles[i].x.NodeId) == -1)
                            group.nodeIds.Add(Triangles[i].x.NodeId);
                        if (group.nodeIds.IndexOf(Triangles[i].y.NodeId) == -1)
                            group.nodeIds.Add(Triangles[i].y.NodeId);
                        if (group.nodeIds.IndexOf(Triangles[i].z.NodeId) == -1)
                            group.nodeIds.Add(Triangles[i].z.NodeId);
                        if (!(i + 1 >= Triangles.Count))
                        {
                            group.Triangles.Add(Triangles[i + 1]);
                            if (group.nodeIds.IndexOf(Triangles[i + 1].x.NodeId) == -1)
                                group.nodeIds.Add(Triangles[i + 1].x.NodeId);
                            if (group.nodeIds.IndexOf(Triangles[i + 1].y.NodeId) == -1)
                                group.nodeIds.Add(Triangles[i + 1].y.NodeId);
                            if (group.nodeIds.IndexOf(Triangles[i + 1].z.NodeId) == -1)
                                group.nodeIds.Add(Triangles[i + 1].z.NodeId);
                            if (!(i + 2 >= Triangles.Count))
                            {
                                group.Triangles.Add(Triangles[i + 2]);
                                if (group.nodeIds.IndexOf(Triangles[i + 2].x.NodeId) == -1)
                                    group.nodeIds.Add(Triangles[i + 2].x.NodeId);
                                if (group.nodeIds.IndexOf(Triangles[i + 2].y.NodeId) == -1)
                                    group.nodeIds.Add(Triangles[i + 2].y.NodeId);
                                if (group.nodeIds.IndexOf(Triangles[i + 2].z.NodeId) == -1)
                                    group.nodeIds.Add(Triangles[i + 2].z.NodeId);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    groups.Add(group);
                }

To this, which groups primitives more dynamically:

Code:

                bool NewGroup = true;
                TriangleGroup grp = new TriangleGroup();
                for (int i = 0; i < Triangles.Count; i++)
                {
                Top:
                    if (NewGroup) //Create a new group of triangles and node ids
                    {
                        grp = new TriangleGroup();
                        grp.Triangles = new List<Triangle>();
                        grp.nodeIds = new List<int>();
                        NewGroup = false;
                    }
                    if (!(grp.CanAdd(Triangles[i]))) //Will add automatically if true
                    {
                        groups.Add(grp);
                        NewGroup = true;
                        goto Top;
                    }
                    if (i == Triangles.Count - 1) //Last triangle
                        groups.Add(grp);
                }

Now I just have to group triangles into tristrips to save space, and grouping primitives will be exactly how I want it to work.
Writing all the primitives as triangles works, but it takes up a lot more space than if they were tristrips.

I also fixed a problem where there was a dummy color relocation offset and wrote some default XF flags to each material.
Still working on shaders and the UVAT groups...

BJ, when I use your BrawlBox to do some ModelSwapping, I come across a glitch galled the "TransD Glitch". People told me to use some software called '??Taboo??' to fix the TransN bone when I import a model over another character (ex: Lucario over Snake), but it never worked for me, as the Wii always crashes after the stage selection screen. I was wondering... If I export Lucario's TransN bone and put it over Snake's TransN bone, will the glitch vanish away? (Note that I must rebuild Snake's skeleton from scratch after that) Could the new BrawlBox you're making for Christmas disable the glitch automatically?
