Alpha 5.11.2

Alpha 5.11.2

Particle Effects

.jpa: Super Mario Galaxy (v2.10) JPA collection support. #69 (@CyrusTheHedgehog)

Command line

rszst: compress: Add --yay0 flag
rszst: Implement json-to-brres. While brres-to-json and json-to-brres should be lossless bidirectionally, the specifics of the format may change slightly next release.

Bugfixes

brres/bmd textures: Handle implicit padding edge cases
brres/bmd textures: Grayscale image encoding fixes (potential integer overflow in Rec. 601 luminance calculation) (Thanks to Diagamma for spotting)

Compression

szs: MKW algorithm: Rewrite in Rust (~13% faster)
szs: MK8 algorithm: Improve compression rate (~2-3%)

Alpha 5.11.1

Alpha 5.11.1

BRRES

• New SRT0 editor (@jupahe64)

BRRES/BMD

• Renderer fixes

Alpha 5.11 (Hotfix 1)

JParticle (.jpa)

• Added support for editing JPA particle effect files, used in games like Super Mario Sunshine. Much thanks to @CyrusTheHedgehog for fully implementing this!

BRRES/BMD:

• Added "preset" selector to TEV stage editors

Command Line:

• Added rszst compress --algorithm mk8: Compresses with the Mario Kart 8 SZS (YAZ0) compression algorithm. (@aboood40091, @KillzXGaming)
• Added rszst compress --algorithm lib-yaz0: Compresses with a reimplementation of the WSZST level 10 compression algorithm. (@aboood40091)
• Comparison of algorithms here. Fast=mk8, Medium=ct-lib, Best=lib-yaz0, essentially, with nintendo and ctgp available as novelties.
• Added WIP rszst brres-to-json command. Output format may change slightly in future releases.

Internal:

• Added C# bindings for texture codec (gctex), SZS compression (szs) and mesh optimization (rsmeshopt) libraries.

Hotfix 1: Fix undo-redo history bug with TEV presets

Full Changelog: Alpha-5.10.13-Hotfix8...Alpha-5.11-Hotfix1

Alpha 5.10.13 (Hotfix 8)

BMD/BDL:

• Basic .bmd_rspreset support. Unfortunately, as .bmd files do not include texture animations (like .brres), these presets are a bit less convenient since you will still need to keep track of .btk/.brk/etc animations.

Command Line:

• Added rszst dump-presets command to dump all materials of a .brres/.bmd/.bdl to a folder

Hotfix 1:

• Fix potential BRRES save error after importing fbx/dae files

Hotfix 2:

• Export Preset/Import Preset buttons in the material editor
• Fix issue with renderer not updating sampler selection
• Fixed potential crash in editor

Hotfix 3-6:
[command line] Added two new compression algorithms:
- haroohie (credit: @Gericom) ~3x faster than wszst standard at same output size
- ct-lib (credit: @narahiero) ~5.5x faster than wszst standard at same output size
[command line] kmp2json: Handle kmps with object ID 0
BMD: Support opening "Jmap2Bmd"-generated files
[command line]
Added rszst optimize [brres or bmd] command

Hotfix 7:
[BRRES] Fixed bug where saving BrawlBox-generated CHR0 files would result in corrupted files.

Hotfix 8:
[BRRES] Fixed bug where only one indirect matrix per indirect config was being read.
[frontend] Property editor icons are now colored
[cli] Added import-tex0 command to convert from .png/.jpg to .tex0

Full Changelog: Alpha-5.10.12...Alpha-5.10.13-Hotfix8

Alpha 5.10.12

Alpha 5.10.12

.dae/.fbx importer: Misc fixes
Blender Plugin: Misc fixes

Command Line:
rszst kmp-to-json
rszst json-to-kmp
rszst kcl-to-json
rszst import-command has been deprecated
rszst import-brres and rszst import-bmd should be used instead
rszst compress file.arc --algorithm=nintendo
-> options: worst-case-encoding, nintendo, mkw-sp, ctgp

Alpha 5.10.11 (Hotfix 3)

Alpha 5.10.11

• Added RARC editor (@JoshuaMKW)
  This is the archive format for Galaxy, Double Dash and Sunshine among other titles.

• BMD/BRRES: Flicker entire selection not just active material

• BMD: Fix some loading errors not propagating to the UI

• rszst: import-command no longer has --merge-mats specified by default

• rszst: Experimental RARC command-line support (@JoshuaMKW)
  rszst extract file.arc folder and rszst create folder/root_name new_file.arc --rarc. The requirement to use root_name is a bit awkward and will probably be changed in a subsequent release.

Hotfix 1:

• Option to preview images without filtering
• Texture editor: option to disable automatic preview sync
• Fixed CMPR encoding of tiny images
  Hotfix 2:
• Add updater recovery mode to catch stale .dll files

• Add a "build info" menu for debugging
