Luigi's Mansion 64 Major Hack ( Now Hiring )

Since 2013 is the year of Luigi i felt the urge to finally complete this 5 year over due hack. i've been touching up on old Beta from 2010 with the new tools and new things i've learnt. Its way better than the 2009 Beta(now its an Alpha as the final major hack will most likely have many Beta's for testing i'm also working on a demo that will be heavily based on the actual games E3 demo from 2001).

obviously this doesn't match up to todays standards of hacks but its still a fair hack thats fun to play. Expect some major hack previews eventually.





Thanks to TomixNscale89 on YT for creating the title and Flame8765 for fixing it.





An idea that will go further in the final.


Insted of using n0obish imitation textures from an earlier Beta i ripped the actual texture with Dolphin Emulator granted they lose quality when resized.






The game only has 1 new custom level made back in mid 2010 i was still noobish with Obj importing and creating levels so its not to great but decent. The final game is not going to have open levels.






The rest of the levels are obviously just retextures of the original levels not all have new idea's and stars. Yeah i wasn't very creative back then.


This level was based heavily on Donkey Kong 64 as you can see the textures are ripped from that game. In the 2009 Beta as you may have seen from a video i made back then this level was just ment to be a underground cave under the star statue in the courtyard, similar to "under the well" from the actual game.


Now on to the new features.

- SFX hacks
-New music
- More exploration in the Mansion so you will have to think to figure out some things.
- Harder difficulty
- Hardly any 1 ups
- Secret area's


I give credit to
VL-Tone
Skelux
frauber
cpuHacka101
and
SubDrag

for their tools.


i have a playlist on my Youtube so you can find more Beta videos there.


omg u suk!!
Nice, I remember when I fist saw you making this way way back in 2009, it's nice to see you are finally looking to put some closure on this hack and release it. Hell to me I don't care how dated a hack gets, it's still nice to see a hack with a lot of work put into it get released.

Let me know if you want any help and I'll be glad to assist you in getting this hack done #ab{:)}
Working on the Foyer again its very detailed and will be even more in the final currently adding the Parlor and the first hallway.

Very nice, DTST! I was a fan of those early Luigi's Mansion 64 and I also made my own un-customed.

I expect to see this hack fully restored and available to play. ;D
SUPER CRASH TIME YEAH!
Huh.This game actually reminds me of the game Luigi's Mansion.Well it's time to break out my Gamecube and start playing.

This hack looks nice.I've seen videos and information about it,but never a download link so I can't wait to play this.

did you textured the outer walls...?
untexturing the outer walls would make a much better sight, because you can look through it from outside, but not from inside.

They pretty much textured themselves but i will fix it.

This is the foyer in game its updated a little since the video i posted




The trouble i'm having with it is that Mario(or Luigi) runs through it and this has been happening since i first made it its annoying also the door sizes i'm trying to figure out. I'll probably post a video of the currently Alpha and release since its been 5 years since any kind of release then i will work on the Demo i hope to have some help with the rooms texturing and some ASM.

Are you using sketchup pro OBJ exporter? Because I noticed the textures only work on the "white part" of the faces (the other part of the face is colored with some purple color):


    See my hack development here!: Super Mario and the missing memories.
Yes i use pro textures do work with the blue side but i always reverse the faces if needed.
I always use the purple ones and they work fine for me. :l

New video of an Alpha that will see a release soon

Hm ok I guess I will wait till then so I can play that game.
My old PC died 2 years ago but i had most of my old data recovered so i was digging through it and i found a old level planned for the game so i fixed it up and imported it into a ROM i use for testing.



Yep its Horror Land from Mario Party 2.

You'll be able to play the Alpha on the 24th.
As promisee the Alpha / Beta is now up for download.
I'm sorry but some of the warps in your hack is broken. Getting a star/dieing in "Egyptian Ruins", "Hell" and some other levels hangs the game as well as exiting this door warp -



Everything else about the hack is fine but because the warp essentially leaves the game unplayable (specifically the level warps), it's making it a really hard decision for me to actually accept the hack.

Do you think you can fix those warps for me and then resubmit the hack?
I played up the hack.
Aside the issues Vinny pointed out, I get the game to freeze sometimes when I enter to the cannon in Haunted Graveyard.

I also liked the textures
@Vinny

That door you showed never worked I pointed out in a txt file that you should go through the normal door. I did not know about those warps I will look again.

OK then, once you have those warps figured out just resubmit the hack and I'll accept it.

If you want I can also have a look into what you can do with that door.
