Hi everyone! First, a quick introduction.
I've been lurking in the shadows eagerly anticipating the release of the 5.5.x kexploit in the hopes of being able to learn how to do one very specific thing, mod Nintendo Land - particularly Luigi's Ghost Mansion and Mario Chase.
Our 3-year old son absolutely loves this game and refuses to play much else, so my hope is to be able to change it up a bit to keep things fresh for him and our family.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That said, I really have no idea where to begin but am definitely willing to take the time to learn how to do it. A few things that I'd like to accomplish are:
Mario Chase:
- Get rid of those dumb robot Yoshi's in 2-player mode!
- Add different levels (maybe even reuse some levels from other games within Nintendo Land - like Animal Crossing)
- Model swap Mario with Luigi (The Better Bro™, according to our son)
Luigi's Ghost Mansion:
- Level editing (or reuse from other games)
- Larger maps in smaller-player matches
- First-person "ghost-hunter" on TV (pie-in-the-sky idea)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If any of the community modders/developers can point me in the right direction on how to make this happen I would be greatly appreciative. Anything from how to unpack the game files, how to identify them, and how to ultimately modify them - tools/process/etc. If someone would like to help me actually do it (and letting me know how they did it) I might even be able to buy you a pizza for your troubles.
Of course once I manage to do all of these things I'd be more than happy to share with everyone assuming it's any good.
Thank you for any help you can provide!
Regards,
-Zim
