GameCubing861999: reverted change to do page tutorial instead

==== Original Author(s) ====

''opeyx''

==== Description ====

''This page should (hopefully) provide you with some knowledge about how certain stuff in Luigi's Mansions works.''

''We will continue add new content here as we get a better understanding for how different parts of the game works.''

''This page should be considered a work in progress at all times, we will do our best to always provide the most accurate information however.''

==== JMP ====

===== Observers =====

One of the things that people seem to have the most trouble understanding is Observers, so here is a small rundown:

Observers are essentially "mini-programs" that constantly asks the game questions about what the current state of the game is. ("Is all the ghosts in this wave captured yet?", "Is flag 23 turned on?"). Think of them like an invisible eye that consistently monitors what ''condition'' needs to be met so that something can be ''done.''

They are used for everything from making ghosts spawn to making the lights turn on when you've captured all the ghosts in a room.

Lets give you an example:

# The observer will ask the game a "question" (Eg: "Have all of the candles in this room been blown out?") - In programming terms these "questions" are known as Conditions.
# The game itself will reply with an "answer" of either True (Yes) or False (No). - In programming terms these "answers" are known as bool's / Booleans.
# If the reply from the game is True (Yes) then the observer will do ''something'' - More accurately, it will do whatever is specified in the observer's do_type field.

By using the ''cond_string_arg0'' and ''string_arg0'' fields in the observers you can link a multiple observers to activate after just one observer activates,

this will allow you to do more than just one thing after a ghost wave has been defeated for example.

You could however also create a "observer chain" to do this; "Is all the ghosts in this wave captured yet?" (True) -> Light Up The Room (True) -> Unlock The Doors (True) -> Spawn Chest (True)

"There's multiple ways to Rome" - You can get similar results with different approaches, we recommend you choose one that you find the most understandable / easy to use.

And that is essentially how all observers in the game work.

Now go experiment! - That's the best way of learning! :)

File Formats

2024-07-10T14:27:48Z

GameCubing861999: /* .BMD */

=== Description ===
This page will cover all file formats used in Luigi's Mansion (GCN).

Some formats may have their own pages, while others may not. This is just dependent on the complexity of the format itself.

=== Formats ===

==== Animation ====

===== Camera Animation =====
These formats animate the camera during cutscenes.

====== .CMN ======
.cmn files are files used to animate the camera during events.

They can be imported into blender using the [[Luigi's Mansion Blender Toolkit]].

====== .SCD ======
Believed to stand for '''SC'''ene '''D'''emo, .scd files are used to animate the camera during the intro cutscenes.

===== Model Animation =====

====== .ANM ======
These are animations used for bin files used to animate nodes. The structure for these is very similar to .key but stores counters and indices together.

[[File Format:ANM|Detailed information for the .ANM format can be found here.]]

==== Archives ====
These files hold other files and compress them. Think of them as similar to .RAR and .ZIP files used today.

===== .SZP =====
These are the most common file type found in Luigi's Mansion. They can be unpacked using [[ArcExtract]]. They implement Yay0 compression to reduce size.

===== .ARC =====
.ARC is another archival file type which can be unpacked using [[ArcExtract]] (hence the name). Additionally, a folder can be packed into an .ARC file using [[ArcPack]].

An .ARC file can be converted to .SZP using [[Yay]].

==== Image / Texture formats ====

===== .BTI =====
.BTI files are image files used throughout Luigi's Mansion. They can be viewed, exported, and edited using [[GameCube File Tools]].

==== Model formats ====

===== .BMD =====
.BMD files are a model format used for a few items in Luigi's Mansion, such as treasures (coins, bills, etc.) and other miscellaneous items.

.BMD models can be converted to .DAE and .FBX using [[SuperBMD]] OR [[FinModelUtility]]. Modern model files can be converted to .BMD using [[SuperBMD]] as well.

===== .BIN =====
.BIN files are models that are typically used for rooms in Luigi's Mansion.

They can be viewed with [[Demolisher]] or imported into Blender using the [[Luigi's Mansion Blender Toolkit]].

===== .MDL =====
.MDL files are used for most items found in the model folder. They can be converted to .DAE using [[MdlConverter]].

==== Sound Formats ====

===== .AW =====
.AW files contain the individual PCM samples that make up the instruments in Luigi's Mansion.

===== .AFC =====
.AFC is a streamed audio format which is only used in the intro cutscenes.

===== .BMS =====
.BMS (Binary Music Sequence) files contain the sequence data for each song in Luigi's Mansion. Think of the format as being similar to a MIDI file.

.BMS files can be extracted using the [[Sound Modding Toolkit]].

.BMS files can be played using [[JAISeq]].

.MIDI files can be converted to .BMS using [[JAIMaker]].

===== .AAF =====
The .AAF file format is only used once in JaiInit.aaf. It is an archive format that holds various pieces of information regarding the game's sound.

Making Gecko Codes To Edit RAM

2024-07-10T14:22:43Z

GameCubing861999:

With Gamecube/Wii there is code stored within dol memory locations, and we can actually edit and add to this compiled assembly code within memory with the use of gecko/ar codes. And this page will detail on how to make said codes with help of the documentation from BannerBomb. Now, to make a gecko code with the code types below dolphin debugger is recommended for looking at the compiled c++ assembly and experimenting with each function.
and to make a code first grab the base address that you want to inject into and put what ever code type as 80 or 90, like for example lets say that the base address that we want to inject into is 800021c0 and the code type we want to use is 04 32 bit write to ram. the memory address would become 040021c0 and the second part of the code represents a instruction with its registers and parameters. like lets say that we want to insert a NOP to 800021c0 that code would look like "040021c0 60000000" which 60000000 being what represents the NOP instruction.

Making Gecko Codes To Edit RAM

2024-07-10T14:14:02Z

GameCubing861999:

With Gamecube/Wii there is code stored within dol memory locations, and we can actually edit and add to this compiled assembly code within memory with the use of gecko/ar codes. And this page will detail on how to make said codes with help of the documentation from BannerBomb.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
|8 bits Write & Fill

|00______ YYYY00XX
Writes the value XX to YYYY+1 consecutive byte-sized addresses,
starting with the address ba+______ To use po instead of ba, change the codetype from 00 to 10.
For values of ______ >= 0x01000000, add one to the codetype.
|-
|16 bits Write & Fill

|02______ YYYYXXXX

Writes the value XXXX to YYYY+1 consecutive halfword-sized addresses, starting with the address ba+______
To use po instead of ba, change the codetype from 02 to 12.
For values of ______ >= 0x01000000, add one to the codetype.
|-
|32 bits Write

|04______ XXXXXXXX

Writes the value XXXXXXXX to ba+______
To use po instead of ba, change the codetype from 04 to 14.

|-
|String Write (Patch Code)

|06______ YYYYYYYY
d1d2d3d4 d5d6....

YYYYYYYY is the number of bytes to write

To use po instead of ba, change the codetype from 06 to 16.

TNNNZZZZ VVVVVVVV

______ + ba = Initial Address
X = Initial value for the RAM write
T = Value Size (0 = byte, 1 = halfword, 2 = word)
N = Amount of additional addresses to write to (the first is assumed)
Z = Address Increment; in bytes (How many To skip By)
V = Value Increment (How much to add to the value after each additional RAM write)

==== Author(s) ====

''opeyx, weirdboo''

==== Description ====

A list of the dialog box colors and icons that can be loaded by combining the <code><WINDOW></code> and <code><COLOR>(#)</code> script tags in an event.

Note that file locations are in ''/data/kawano/dmman/pressed/.'' This folder is located in ''root/Game/game.szp'' on NTSC-J, ''root/Game/game_usa.szp'' on NTSC-U, and ''root/Game/gameX.szp'' on PAL (there's five archives, one for each language).
