Custom Super Mario 64 project?

If you are going to make tunnels underneath everything, make them BEFORE you create anything on top. It makes it a ton easier in the future. I'm trying to build some underground tunnels and it has been nothing but a pain because I already designed something on the top layer. I've had to delete all my pyramids (they are easy to build) just to build the tunnels. Just an FYI.

I've been working on my tunnels and did a test run on them. I need to resize them, but I'll have a vid uploaded within the next hour. It's really hard to see what sizes will work and what won't when editing. Some tunnels are huge, while others I can't even fit in. Anyways, you will get to see some of the level in action.

Had to redo the tunnels tonight

They look a lot better though this time around. Not near as much collision problems now. So as of now, I'm about 90% of the way finished with the tunnels. Then I'll start on the rest of the level

This sounds fun. I would love to take a stab at this over the summer. Way too busy right now though :p

I've created a tutorial that I will be uploading to youtube here soon. It's split into two parts - Pt 1 Walls and Pt 2 Tunnels. Pt 3 will be floating platforms (oh yay, these are a pain). But the first part is only 6 minutes long. The second part is about 10 minutes but it shows the test level in action. I show how to build solid and fake walls.

Part 2 is just tunnel tips pretty much. Much trial and error on my part to get them to actually cooperate with me. Hopefully they will help you guys out. I'll post the vids as soon as they upload.

Part 1 - Walls
Part 2 - Tunnels
Part 3 - Floating Platforms

Very helpful videos. Unfortunately I think I have to start my level over from scratch; I've been building on a ludicrously huge scale on sketchup (had to set scale to 600 on the level importer) and my walls are all screwed up because I've just been using flat rectangles for everything. :/

I think I might be able to join in on this with the Hazy Maze Cave. I'm not entirely certain if I'll succeed or not, but it's worth a shot.

I'm probably going to get started on Tick Tock Clock after I watch Davers's videos; would probably help to get a handle on how it's done before I play around with it XD.

I haven't forgotten about this; I've just been pretty busy with other random stuff. I started my level over, and I WILL have it done sometime during the start of August.

In the meantime, here's a playlist of a guy doing a blind playthrough of a really awesome hack I found (might be the best I've ever seen):

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9F8EEB69D1C64F53&feature=plcp

It even has a backstory other than "hurr save princess." So I pose a question: would you guys like to do a real story or just stick to the classic format?
