CT-CODE & LE-CODE Extensions

Contents

1.   Introduction

The original Mario Kart Wii support 32 racings tracks organiced into 8 cups. But this is much to less for custom tracks, because several hundrets custom track exist and about 100 are really good.

This page decribes the special features of Wiimms SZS Tools to handle all related extensions.

1.1   CT-CODE

So Chadderz and MrBean35000vr started to extend Mario Kart Wii to allow up to 240 tracks in one distribution, CTGP Revoltution. Therefore they patched and changed the distribution on different places:

1.2   LE-CODE

2.   --ct-code

Enable CT-CODE support.
This global option is available for all tools and for all commands, but it has only impact to some actions. It enables the CT-CODE support. This means, it changes the behaviour of some commands to a CT-CODE related mode.

2.1   BMG messages

Normally, the message names 'T11' .. 'T84' and 'U11' .. 'U25' are used to define both messages related to the specified track or arena. But if option --ct-code is set, a third related message in the range 4000–402B is additionally defined.

2.2   Option --msg

Option --msg accepts the keywords CUPS, TRACKS and ARENAS to filter messages. If option --ct-code is set, the ranges of the 3 keywords are expanded to the messages ≥4000.

3.   --le-code [=param]

Enable LE-CODE and CT-CODE support. The optional parameter is deprecated and ignored.

4.   Tool wstrt and file main.dol

Tool wstrt can analyse and patch StaticR.rel and main.dol files.

wstrt ANALYSE verifies the files and prints a list with status informations. wstrt DUMP dumps the section layout of DOL files. wstrt PATCH may patch StaticR.rel and main.dol.

To extend main.dol by the CT-CODE, execute the command:

wstrt patch main.dol --add-ctcode

5.   Tool wctct and TEX0 file CTGP_CODE

The only feature of tool wctct is to manage the CTGP_CODE file, which contains a list of cups and tracks and more.

Tool wctct has implicitly enabled the option --ctcode.

6.   BMG messages

Normally, the message names 'T11' .. 'T84' and 'U11' .. 'U25' are used to define both messages related to the specified track or arena. But if option --ct-code is set, a third related message in the range 4000–402B is additionally defined.

There are 2 additional patching modes for option --patch-bmg:
CT_COPY copies cup and track names to the CT-CODE section ≥4000. CT_FILL filles undefined messages of the CT-CODE section with default names.

7.   Slot ID & Music ID

The CT-CODE compiler reads the settings for the Slot ID and the Music ID as numeric value or expression. For Music IDs, numbers <42 (<0x2a) are interpreted as slot numbers and automatically converted to the related music id. However, names for the IDs are more user friendly than numbers. So the compiler defines constants for all possible values using the following rules: Variables are case insensitive. The capitalization is only used for better understanding. The following table shows all names and values:
