Tiny-Huge Tweaks

This is an add-on for Mario 64 Movie Maker 3 that offers numerous tweaks, which can save time and slightly improve the quality of your SM64 machinimas.

Installing and using

1. Make sure you have the latest version of M64MM3 installed.
2. Download the latest version of the add-on. It will be in a .zip archive.
3. Extract the downloaded archive's contents¹ into the root folder² of M64MM3. If it prompts you to replace files, then do it.
4. That's all.

Fix Cam Freeze

Implements sm64rise's and integerbang's GameShark code that fixes the camera being zoomed out. Intended to be a shortcut so that you don't have to reenter the code every time you use a new ROM.

No Head Rotations

Replaces the normal standing animations with the Reading/C-Up animation, which does not have the potentially unwanted head rotations. Can be toggled. Intended as a shortcut.

No Black Bars

Implements a SM64 ROM Manager tweak that removes the black bars that can be seen in SM64 and a lot of ROM Hacks.

Marked as Work-In-Progress since I'm not completely sure if it will work everywhere with the way it's currently implemented. It did work for me perfectly fine any time I tried to use it.

No Shadow (Simple)

Implements a simple GameShark code that removes Mario's shadow. Most likely won't work on custom models. Intended as a shortcut.

Fix Smoke Texture

Implements a SM64 ROM Manager tweak that fixes the smoke texture being mistakingly set to be RGBA16³ instead of IA16⁴.

Advanced Texture Remover

Straight-up erases textures, turning them into blank, completely transparent images. Right now supports removing shadows, dust, sparkles, bubbles, water effects, and water splashes.

Fix Black Textures

Implements SM64 Save State Fixer, which fixes the textures being black in older ROM hacks when using newer graphics plugins like GLideN64.

Stars' Appearance

Allows you to change the stars' models from collected to uncollected and vice versa. You need to pause the game before using it, otherwise it's likely to crash SM64.

Model Addresses

Since ROM hacks often have different RAM addresses for storing these models, Tiny-Huge Tweaks allows you to add your own addresses for the star models in different ROM hacks (see TinyHugeTweaks/starAddresses.config). You can find these addresses by using a tool like STROOP (I recommend using Mupen64 with that).

Show/Hide Body Parts

Implements a GameShark code that makes Mario's body invisible, but in a way that allows you to toggle it for each body part.

Marked as Work-In-Progress, because it doesn't support other body states (open hands, Wing Cap's wings, Metal Mario etc.), custom models, and LOD Mario models right now.

Building prerequisites

Click here to view

• Visual Studio 2022.
• M64MM3's repository in a folder called M64MM outside of where this repository is.
  • Example: if the .sln for BodyStates is in C:/projects/TinyHugeTweaks/TinyHugeTweaks.sln, the whole M64MM3 repository must be in C:/projects/M64MM.
• If you're on Windows, then, before extracting the archives, make sure to right-click the archive, open Properties and see if you have an Unblock checkbox. If you do, tick it and press Apply. If you don't do this and the archive(s) remain blocked, you may run into issues.
• Depending on the circumstances, you may have to do the following: go to Menu > Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console and enter Install-Package HtmlRenderer.WinForms. After that, go to Menu > Project > Manage NuGet Packages…, and make sure that both HtmlRenderer.Core and HtmlRenderer.WinForms are up-to-date.

Footnotes

1. That means all the contents, including the deps folder. If it crashes when opening the About window, make sure that you have HtmlRenderer.dll and HtmlRenderer.WinForms.dll in M64MM's deps folder. ↩

2. That's the same folder where M64MM.exe is located. ↩

3. RGBA16 is a texture format where each pixel takes up sixteen bits (two bytes): one bit is used for the transparency (you can either have it opaque or fully transparent), while red, green, and blue use five bits each. ↩

4. IA16 is a texture format where each pixel takes up sixteen bits (two bytes): the first eight bits are used for grayscale intensity, and the other eight are for transparency (allowing partial transparency, unlike RGBA16). ↩
