Same here. Although, it removed the grid for some reason.....
Did you rename the stuff inside the .xml?

So recently.. Louiskovski made a SMAS mod for SMM. They released it yesterday, and it turns out.. they figured out how to add backgrounds! I downloaded the mod, and I figured out how they did it. I'll be teaching you how to make new backgrounds! This is the way I do it at least.. Programs Needed: Wexos's Toolbox Hex Editor yamlconv Notepad++ Step 1. Copy any background file from your SMM dump. (M1_DV_Plain.szs, etc.)  Step 2. Paste it into another folder.  Step 3. Open the szs file in Wexos's Toolbox.  Step 4. Right click "Output.bfres" and click export. Export into the folder with your szs file.  Step 5. Open the bfres file in your favorite hex editor.  Step 6. Press CTRL + F and search for the first two characters of your szs file. In this case, it's "M1"  Step 7. Replace every "M1" with something else, like "MA", "MB", "M4", "M5", etc. (Do not name the file M1, M3, MW, or WU.)  Step 8. Press CTRL + S to save, and then close the hex editor. Step 9. Do your modifications to the BFRES file for the new background. Step 10. Right click Output.bfres in Wexos's Toolbox, and click "Replace".  Step 11. Navigate to your BFRES file and click "Open". Step 12. Save the SZS file.  Step 13. Rename the SZS file to match with the previous change. (In this case, It's MA_DV_Plain.szs) Step 14. Copy a file called "Static.pack" from your SMM dump to the folder.  Step 15. Open it in Wexos's Toolbox and search for a file called "XX_SceneDB.byaml" (XX replaced with M1, M3, MW, and WU)  Step 16. Right click it and export it to the folder.  Step 17. Download "yamlconv" and put it into the folder.  Step 18. Drag "XX_SceneDB.byaml" onto yamlconv.exe to convert it to an XML file.  Step 19. Open the XML file in Notepad++ It should look similar to this.  Step 20. Let's say I want to change the underground background.  Step 21. Where it says <DV type="string">?????</DV>, replace ?????? with the name of your szs file. (????? can be M0_DV_black, MW_DV_plain, etc.)   Step 22. Save the XML file. Step 23. Delete the BYAML file in the folder. Step 24. Drag the XML file onto yamlconv.exe to convert it to BYAML. Step 25. Open Static.pack in Wexos's Toolbox, and search for "XX_SceneDB.byaml" again. Step 26. Right click it, and click "Replace". Navigate to the new BYAML, click it, and click "Open." Step 27. Press CTRL + S to save Static.pack Step 28. Delete the BFRES, BYAML and XML file. Step 29. Copy "XX_DV_Plain.SZS" and "Static.pack" to your SD card. Step 30. Run the new files on your Wii U with SDCafiine 1.4 Woah! 30 steps to just add a background. I hope this tutorial was useful for you, and I hope it helps you make some amazing mods in the future!

I don't know. It might be, but I can't test it myself because my 3DS is broken. _________________________ Discord - Buntendo#4069

Old 3DS XL info:
I used to have a 3DSafe A9LH V11.3.0-36U with Luma in my CTRNAND. Since ReiNAND Reibooted and Re-Reileased, I "switch"ed back. Right now, I have boot9strap with Luma 8.0 as my CFW. Though, I'd like to see other CFW's for B9S. |

I made that but it only removed the grid, as NightYoshi said. I hope we'll be able to hack backgrounds soon |

You modify the background image however you want. •Open BFRES file in BFRES Tool •Open DDS File in Paint.NET/GIMP •Do whatever you want to the image. •Save as ABGR8 or A8B8G8R8. •Click on "Replace (Image Name)" in BFRES Tool. •Select your new DDS file. •Continue to Step 10 and the others. I hope that helps. _________________________ Discord - Buntendo#4069

I just realised something, if you add a background into the game you also need to add the corresponding preview background if you do not want the game to crash when saving a level. ... Nevermind everybody knew that already, I'm just late. |
