When it gets possible to add nodes and paths, we'll have to think of something to make the game take into account those nodes and paths for the Stars on the save file.

That would require a lot more investigation tho.

We'd have to find every ponter to the arrays  ray and  Freeze found and the values that contain the information for the amount of nodes/path/etc to load. Then we'd have to change the pointers to a location where we can store our new information and change the amounts accordingly.

Without any reverse engeneering, no chance I assume.


But you can already use path forks as level nodes, make them visible and assign a level to them. In that case I don't know how the game handles it.

I did some tests with the Y-shifting of the Worldmap (or the Y-shiftig of the camera, but that's actually the same in this case).

There are two bytes (or: four nybbles) reserved by the Y-shifting. In the original game, YY YY = 'FE FF'. I did five tests, but none of the values I tried affected the game.

If there's anything not documented it's the World 2 wind.
(Unless someone already explained it and I'm an idiot who missed it.)

But it's really interesting as it seems to follow Mario if that makes sense.

I don't think it follows Mario. And if you start about the W2 wind, you also have to mention the falling snow (w5), and the lava FG effect and the lava bubbles (w8).

That is true, I forgot that W5 and W8 had effects. (I remembered W2 because of the wind.) But I would suppose that the snow effect is shared with the sprite, so I'll look into that.
And you are right, it doesn't follow Mario, I just conveniently moved into different spots that made it seem like it did.

The table contains all information that is necessary to load nodes and paths for the maps.


How the table is built up:

- It has 8 sections, 1 for each world
- Each block is 0x28 bytes long

Sections:

Offset Length Function
0x0 0x4 Pointer to Node Data
0x4 0x4 Pointer to Path Settings
0x8 0x4 Pointer to other Node/Path counts
0xC 0x4 Pointer to Visible Nodes
0x10 0x4 Pointer to Starcoin Signs
0x14 0x4 Pointer to Tower/Castle Locations
0x18 0x4 Pointer to Mushroom House Locations
0x1C 0x4 Pointer to Unknow Block
0x20 0x2 Node Count
0x22 0x2 Path Count
0x24 0x4 Unknown (Referenced to, but allways 0x0)


Pointers to other Node/Path counts:

These pointers reffer to 4 byte long blocks that are built like this:

Offset Length Function
0x0 0x2 Node Count (Differs from count in the main block)
0x2 0x2 Path Count (Differs from count in the main block)


Pointers to Unknow Blocks:

The Unknown blocks contain 3-5 4 byte long pointers to 0x10 byte long unknown data blocks.
Worlds 1-5 and 7 have 3 pointers, 6 has 4 and 8 has 5.

Positions for the Player Icon on the bottom screen:

A table which contains all of them is stored at ov8:021A33A4.

It is structured like this:

Offset Length Function
0x0 0x4 Pointer to player cursor positions for World 1
0x4 0x1 Number of the positions in the positions block
0x5 0x3 Padding
0x8 0x4 Pointer to player cursor positions for World 2
0xC 0x1 Number of the positions in the positions block
0xD 0x3 Padding
0x10 0x4 Pointer to player cursor positions for World 3
0x14 0x1 Number of the positions in the positions block
0x15 0x3 Padding
0x18 0x4 Pointer to player cursor positions for World 4
0x1C 0x1 Number of the positions in the positions block
0x1D 0x3 Padding
0x20 0x4 Pointer to player cursor positions for World 5
0x24 0x1 Number of the positions in the positions block
0x25 0x3 Padding
0x28 0x4 Pointer to player cursor positions for World 6
0x2C 0x1 Number of the positions in the positions block
0x2D 0x3 Padding
0x30 0x4 Pointer to player cursor positions for World 7
0x34 0x1 Number of the positions in the positions block
0x35 0x3 Padding
0x38 0x4 Pointer to player cursor positions for World 8 (only first half)
0x3C 0x1 Number of the positions in the positions block
0x3D 0x3 Padding
0x40 0x4 Pointer to player cursor positions for World 8 (complete)
0x44 0x1 Number of the positions in the positions block
0x45 0x3 Padding


Position Blocks:

Each block that is referenced by the main table is 4 x Number of Positions bytes long.

One position is made from 2 shorts:

Offset Length Function
0x0 0x2 X Position (signed)
0x2 0x2 Y Position (signed)

Nintendo also "removed" some node positions by setting it to (-9/-13)

Hey! Seems like the world-map editor allows to transform cannon levels into normal levels with starcoins! Which is good news for my hack...

I don't know if these star coins are counted to game completion though.

Shameless doublepost incoming because it has an entirely different topic.

I looked a bit more into the worldmap structure. Almost everything of the table 5 posts up is now known.

This is how the worldmap structure looks C like:

#include "nsmb.h"

typedef struct path
{
        u8 endingNodeId;
        u8 animationId;
        u8 settings;
        u8 unk;
} path;

typedef struct node
{
        path *paths;            // As many paths as you want. Last path should be FF 00 00 00
        u8 areaId;
        u8 unk0;                // Allways 0?
        u8 unk1;                // Mostly 0. I only saw 0xB in W1. Is this for the blue mushroom house?
        u8 icon;
        u8 settings;
        u8 unk2[3];             // Allways 0? Probably padding
} node;

typedef struct pathBehavior
{
        u8 animationId;
        u8 starcoinCost;
        u8 visibility;
        u8 unk;                 // Allways 0? Probably padding
} pathBehavior;

typedef struct mapObjects
{
        u8 mapObj1StartNode;
        u8 mapObj1Type;
        u8 mapObj2StartNode;
        u8 mapObj2Type;
} mapObjects;

typedef struct visibleNode
{
        u8 unlockedPaths[4];
        u8 unlockedpathsSecret[4];
        u16 cameraLocation;
        u16 cameraLocationSecret;
        s32 x;
        s32 y;
        s32 z;
} visibleNode;

typedef struct worldmapObject
{
        u8 animationId;
        u8 pad[3];
        s32 x;
        s32 y;
        s32 z;
} worldmapObject;

typedef struct bowserJrNode
{
        u8 animationId;
        u8 behavior;
} bowserJrNode;

typedef struct world
{
        node *nodes;
        pathBehavior *pathBehaviors;
        mapObjects *mapObjs;
        visibleNode *visibleNode;
        worldmapObject *starcoinSigns;          // As many as you want. Last one should be zeroed
        worldmapObject *strongholds;            // ^
        worldmapObject *mushroomHouses;         // ^
        bowserJrNode **bowserJrPaths;
        u16 nodeCount;
        u16 pathCount;
        u32 unk;                                // allways 0
} world;


At 0x1B6E4 in overlay 8 there are 8 of the "world" structures right after each other.

Also thanks to  skawo for finding out the Bowser Jr. Path structure.

So, I tried to edit the worldmap. I changed the first path so that it goes down and and it works, but it only works when I press right, am I doing anythimg wrong?

Now you probably wonder how it is determined what Animation is playing when pressing a button and what actually tells the game what node you end on.


This is done by using the Data-Paths.


Look up how data paths are done in the Doc linked in the first post.
