Help on getting started on modding

[FluffheadToby]

Hey! so im interested in modding this game (mostly char-select and custom move-set mods), but I have like no experience at all on how to get it to work. are there any tutorials that exist for rigging, animating and stuff for coop deluxe/mario 64 specifically? thanks in advance for your responses!

I'm also trying to learn how to mod for this game too, but I'm mostly focusing on custom movesets and how mario interacts with certain objects so I can only point you in that direction. I haven't focused on rigging, animation, and char select stuff yet.

Custom Lua Moveset - Where To Start?

Hey guys, I've been interested in doing some Lua for a custom moveset + character for months now. I've tried a few times, but every time I try and get a start I really stick with it for like a day or two but then just get so overwhelmed and fatigued. Normally in this situation I'd cling to...

mods.sm64coopdx.com

I got my start from this post above.

sm64coopdx/docs/lua at main · coop-deluxe/sm64coopdx

An official continuation of https://github.com/djoslin0/sm64ex-coop on sm64coopdx for the enhancements and progress it already has. - coop-deluxe/sm64coopdx

I recommend going through the documentation, guides, and examples they provided here on their github linked above. Going off of examples, I also recommend going through moveset mods other people have made with the documentation on the side to get somewhat of an understanding of how to make a moveset mod yourself.

Lastly, I found this yt vid that talks about the basics of object behaviors. I recommend watching up to 2:30, but you can watch the whole video if you want. Pretty good vid if you plan on making a moveset that interacts with objects in a particular way.

I'm not a pro at modding (yet), but I hope this helps in some way. Best of luck.
