Mario Project!

Hi! I was thinking today and i came up with this:

why not make a map based on super mario bros. games?

well i need objects! anyone who is up to the challenge create any mario object you can think of/want and post it here. If it is good i will use it in the map! (yes, of course i will give credit) some objects that are in the game are pipes, mushrooms, bouncy pad thingys, and some monsters.

-good luck!

You could have a Coin block and have some GM's on it or something that would be neat.

I made three ? Blocks. Which one do you want?

Im sure you remember that the ? block was goldish in the game.

I might be able to make the pipe, though I'll need help with coloring it, as I don't know how...

Actually in the all-stars version of SMB3 it was brown:

With that exception it is usually goldish AFAIK

it might be kool to have a flag/tele or something that make you big like the mushroom did. If that can Even Work

ducktape, i'm going to make a big mushroom with obesity on top

hehe, you could use a false floor, so that when you jump in the pipe, you go down into the bit with all the coins.

Here it is, even in color! I found out how to color it(kinda, but it works

)

And a screeny, with the pipe upright. In the file, I set it so the top is along the Z axis for good measure.

The problem is I can't seem to figure out how to turn it into a
BZW file. I have the modeltool, but using it I can't figure out.

dango · Post by **dango** » Mon Sep 18, 2006 9:19 pm

you just have to save as and OBJ and then drag and drop the OBJ on the modeltool executable.

Found the plugin for Wings laying around.
It allows Wings to export directly to .bzw.
Thanks anyway, me1.

BTW, why not use the pipes as teleporters?

EDIT: file updated, no longer needs texture

you can't have an up-and-down teleporter.

But you can drop down into a pipe, and have a physics object that throws you into a teleporter. Then in the exit pipe, you land on a bouncy physics.

Then put the pipe on it's side

or use TD-Linux's idea(which I prefer,
but either one works)

I like TDs idea.

Nice! man that looks sweet I cant wait

Goodbye2U · Post by **Goodbye2U** » Thu Sep 21, 2006 2:55 pm

Ugh, I can't fugure out how to resize objects in BZW files.
By "objects", I mean stuff you made in a 3D modeler and exported it in BZW.

Define it as a group and use scale when you call it...

I'll take on the ultimate task: A giant Mario shooting out a fireball. Just for awesome looks.

I found this diagram of how to make mario out of lego - this might help if you are looking to build him out of meshboxes.
http://www1.odn.ne.jp/asobo/Lego-jpg/lego-mario.jpg

I think you should go for the original pixelated mario - it's just more funky and retro, plus it will probably look cool in 3D

IMHO, i think you should position this large mario outside of the playing area - i doubt he will add much in the way of play.

BTW, i'm willing to making some models or textures for this project if you want.

do this:

Code: Select all

 <group name>
....
....
....
enddef


group <group name>
size x x x
end

dartman

alright! good luck with that! can't wait to see it
