RIP in peace, Google Sites

posted Jun 20, 2021, 2:38 PM by z64me   [ updated Jun 20, 2021, 2:38 PM ]

Legacy Google Sites are being discontinued, so I'm mirroring everything over to old.z64.me. This is a great opportunity to break away from the Web 1.0 meme and do something new with the website.

zzrtl revision 4

Remember this junk from the manual?

`repack` should always be false (0)
unless you modify MM's packing functionality;
this makes it so the re-encoded files fit at
the offsets of the original files within the
archives (this is to get around MM's hard-coded
references to the assets; if you happen to use
custom code for MM archive parsing, you can use
true (1)

It turns out that was dead wrong. The actual problem was, certain parts of a certain (few?) archive(s)'s file table(s) were being overwritten thanks to a hiccup in my alignment code. Thankfully, Aroenai was able to pinpoint one of these broken files and the bug was fixed in no time.

One less thing to haunt me; thanks again, Aroenai!

    - /Zel/ - MM script collaboration

r3 changes
    - final changes to make MM scripts possible
    - MM scripts are now available
    - updated OoT scripts
    - dump scripts now work on compressed roms
    - extension assertion: zzrtl now complains if
      provided with a file not of the extension .rtl
    - raw data assertion: zzrtl now complains if
      provided with a file that doesn't contain some
      form of "int main" (e.g. an html file saved
      with the .rtl extension)
    - added a function file_exists(fn) to check if a
      file exists (returns 1 if it does, 0 otherwise)
    - rom.inject_dma() function added for injecting
      a file over a known existing DMA entry
      (file-size must match file being overwritten)
      (rom.inject_raw_dma() also available)
    - rom.extract_dma() function added for extracting
      a file of a known DMA index
    - .next() and .remaining() are now able to be
      used with conf files of type list, for the
      purpose of stepping through list items
    - .name() and .value() functions for retrieving
      the name and value (as strings) of the
      selected conf list item have been added
    - an int_array() function to make up for zzrtl
      not supporting int array[32]; type declarations
    - a new_string() function for easy string building
    - rom version checking to reduce weird errors
      encountered from using a dump/build script with
      a rom not supported by it
    - loadfile() function added
    - tsv_col_row() function added

zzplayas revision 3

posted Mar 17, 2020, 10:18 AM by z64me   [ updated Mar 17, 2020, 10:19 AM ]

This revision eliminates a rare bug that was encountered when an old pointer and a new pointer share the same offset.

zzrtl project files are now supported as well. If you used an older dump script to generate your filesystem, you will have to edit your project.zzrpl file in Notepad++ so that the variables used by zzplayas are prefixed with ZZPLAYAS_, like so:

zzrtl                   v0.01
baserom                 "baserom.z64"
ZZPLAYAS_VROM_CODE      "'baserom.z64'+0x00B3C000"
ZZPLAYAS_VROM_PLAYER    "'baserom.z64'+0x00CA7F00"

The scripts on the repo have been updated to reflect this change.

Due to popular demand, the command line utility zzobjman.exe is included in the win32 folder of this release.

As always, you can find the update on the zzplayas download page.

zzrtl revision 2, and some more codecs

posted Feb 10, 2020, 12:43 PM by z64me   [ updated Feb 10, 2020, 12:44 PM ]

r2 changes
    - faster compression
    - compression ratio is now printed afterwards
    - removed zx7 codec (was slower than ucl and
      had a worse compression ratio than ucl)
    - added aplib codec (better ratio than ucl, and
      faster load times than ucl on Wii VC; the only
      downside is roms take a few minutes to compress)
    - lzo and aplib patches are now available
