M64MM3 Alpha 8 Hotfix 1

Yes, I know the naming is going to get confusing, but bear with me, this is an experimental release.

BUGFIXES

• Randomizing in the Appearance Settings no longer slows it down to a crawl.
• Animation Name Search is now fully case sensitive.
• Added Assembly Redirection so dependencies for addons are in a singular place as well as JSON.NET not crying from addons that prefer old versions.

NEW POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE FEATURES

• For developers: Lightsets. These will help with a colorcode standard when making addons that change colorcodes.
• For everyone else: Holy S#@!$, you can (experimentally) change the Castle Grounds's tints and lighting direction (but not the ACTUAL castle... yet.)

Also VERY important, this release is required to use the v1.1 of METAL Orchestrator.

The file you need to download is called m64mm3-alpha8-h1.7z
You need 7Zip to open that file.

Do NOT delete the .config file or the /deps folder. Extract everything.
Do NOT download the other zip, it contains a subtle bug in the search function.

M64MM3 Beta 1 Hotfix 1 & 2

Beta 1 Hotfix 1 & 2

REDOWNLOAD IF YOU'RE MISSING CAMTYPE AND ANIMATION DATA

OK, I had made a mistake. Updater now works better

All the changes from Beta 1 are present here. See: v3.0-beta1

The file you have to download is called m64mm3-beta1.h2.7z

You need 7-Zip to open this file.

M64MM3 Beta 1

BETA 1

Please watch the latest CometLASER if you have not.

ADDITIONS

• Turboticks: Makes addons run smoother if they ask to. Useful for addons that stuttered a bit, but uses more system resources.
• Admin check: Checks if your PJ64 is runnin as admin, which is often the cause M64MM can't find it.
• Mupen support...?: Untested. Please let me know if it breaks.
• Appearance Settings+: Appearance settings now merged with SPARK Studio, and it removes the Color Routing feature.

NEW ADDONS

Check out the freecam, METAL Orchestrator!
It has no tutorial, so you may want to hang on tight or join the Project Comet Discord for assistance in the meantime.

The file you have to download is called m64mm3-beta1.7z

M64MM3 Alpha 6 (Powercam Improvements)

ALPHA 6

Bugfixes, and great improvement for Powercam.

Bugfixes:

• Camera no longer should make Mario's conscience get stuck into limbo (fixes #30)

Improvements:

• AUTO-POWERCAM (which is on by default, see Options to change your preferred automatic Camera Preset)
  • This feature allows Powercam to work right when M64MM3 starts, before the game gets a chance. This makes it so you can effortlessly freeze the camera ANYWHERE.
  • Please report if this breaks.

Special thanks

Patrong: PonderMan, MrGameAndSketch (whom I forgot to add to the list of patrons because I suck)

IMPORTANT

The update package below contains no addons. You're expected to carry over your addons and Config file from Alpha 4 or higher, by copying over the files from the update package over your existing M64MM files and overwriting them.

The file you need to download is called 3.0.0-alpha6.7z and you need 7-Zip to open it.

OTHER PROJECT COMET STUFF

Have you checked out cometSpectrum (click here) yet? If you have Discord, consider checking it out to store your color codes. M64MM3 will be soon getting an addon to get from cometSpectrum.

M64MM3 Alpha 5

ALPHA 5

Just bugfixes and a few tweaks to the UI. No beta yet nor flashy features.

Bugfixes:

• Holding CTRL combinations no longer repeatedly toggles the freeze/soft-freeze of the camera ( fixes #28 )
• using Powercam doesn't restrict Mario's head movement when coming back from first person mode (Ported fix from previous M3 versions)
  • If this is error-free by now, Powercam will stop being experimental, which means you'll be able to use with peace of mind. Please try it!
• FINALLY fixed the "Frozen: False" and "Soft-Frozen: False" when starting M64MM up, now they just say "No" instead of "False"

PSA

Please report bugs. Be it here or on Discord, please do. I cannot find every time M64MM works wrongly with the emulator or just straight up crashes, and I don't want to implement telemetry because that is shady as f@#!. I trust that you can tell me when something is not working correctly - no matter how small it may be - so I can look into it, and make M64MM better for everyone.

Future versions may include a reminder for this.

NOTE

The update package below contains no addons. You're expected to carry over your addons and Config file from Alpha 4, by copying over the files from the update package over your existing M64MM files and overwriting them.

The file you need to download is called 3.0.0-alpha5.7z and you need 7-Zip to open it.

M64MM3 Alpha 4

ALPHA 4

I did say that alpha versions would be more frequent and less flashy. This update fixes two things, one of them you may not have encountered yet hahaha

FIXES

• Reset button no longer fails and properly resets the current animation.
• Fixed a bug in Setting saving that interfered with Addons saving their own settings.
• The Markdown parser for update news has been fixed.

NOTE: The release package (file called 3.0-alpha4.7z) is an update package. It comes with no addons, if you are downloading M64MM3 for the first time, either download the addons separately, or find a release that includes all PComet addons, or ask your friends where they are.

You need 7Zip to open the release file. Extract to your M64MM folder. Overwrite if it asks.

M64MM3 Alpha 3

ALPHA 3

New pre-release! But you might notice it's not as flashy as the rest. This is because M64MM3 is getting ready to go outside of the Alpha cycle. This means that Alpha releases will now be more frequent, more unstable, and may or may not have new features. The flashy releases will now be for the Beta releases, in preparation for the Release release (haha, Release Release)

Changes:
BUGFIX: Emulator Selector no longer freaks out when some PJ64s are ghosted
ADDITION: Randomizer can now randomize either just Colors or randomize between CCs in your CC Repository (Requested by Weegeepie)
BUGFIX: Settings are now read differently for futureproofing. Delete your config.json before upgrading.

The Upgrade package is below and it's called 3.0.0-alpha3.7z

You need 7-zip to open this file.

HOW TO UPGRADE:

Extract the contents of this 7Z file on top of your current M64MM3 download. Overwrite any files it asks you to overwrite.

Mario 64 Movie Maker 3 Alpha 2

Woohoo! Finally!
It's been almost a year but we're here
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOuuuuuUUUUU

M64MM3 Alpha 2 is NOT compatible with Addons from Alpha 1!!!

This uncompatibility might not happen again until Beta 1.

There's a few new changes:

• Update checker
  M64MM now can look for updates from this very page.
• Multiple Emulator Instance Support
  M64MM can also use more than one PJ64 that might be open.
  (Thank you for the suggestion, SMG4!)
• Color Code Repository
  Store color codes in a program folder for easy backup in plain TXT; stop relying on PJ64's weird INI styled cheat format
• Powercam (EXPERIMENTAL)
  Automatically make some levels with wonky freeze camera stuff work!
• New splash screen
  With pictures from me, SuperG64 and webbtail

Also a few bugfixes and quality improvements:

• M64MM is now by default smarter. Some ROMs could NOT use color codes but M64MM finds them anyways. Note, this does not include Star Road's -20 trick just yet, but it is recommended to re-patch the regular Mario CometCHAR Patch file to Star Road.
• Task Manager (Installed Addons) now can show icons for all addons you have installed.
• Buttons for Freeze have been converted to Toggles. Press them once to change from "Yes" to "No".
• Settings include the ability to disable keyboard shortcuts. You're welcome.

Downloadable files

There are TWO files below. The first one, M64MM3-alpha2.7z is the full package, includes all relevant addons that have been made public until now (METAL Composer and Twister, SPARK Editor)

M64MM3-alpha2_light.7z is the core program with no addons pre-added. You can then download the addons you want manually through their respective release pages.

In any case, to open any of these files, you NEED 7Zip.

M64MM3 Alpha 1

It's here! It's finally here! and with a good ole surprise.

=== HOTFIX 1 ===

• Fixes a number of issues regarding the Appearance Settings.

=== HOTFIX 1 (and a half) ===

• METAL Composer now doesn't crash on bugged animations.

Note: if M64MM3 doesn't start, rightclick the DLLs next to M64MM.exe and inside the Addons/ folder, and go into Properties for each, then click the "Unblock" checkbox, then press OK. Windows blocks unknown DLLs.
If you have any other issue, you can join the Project Comet Discord to get immediate help.

Remember: you download the program by clicking in Assets, and then downloading the file called "M64MM3-a1h1.zip"
