Fuzee Tutorial 🔰: F-Zero Course Editor (More Info in Video's Description) [60fps]

Описание: A video guide I made for Fuzee, an F-Zero course editor, which consists in creating your own courses.

Before starting creating an F-Zero hack, please take your time to watch the video, this will introduce you into the topics shown, and may help avoiding any confusion if you get to a point where you may have questions.

IMPORTANT: If you don't seem to find a headerless Japanese ROM, try to use a USA headerless ROM.
Sadly, I can't provide you a ROM because I wouldn't like to distribute copyrighted material.

.fzeeclips

This .fzeeclip collection is made by me:

CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT DEATH WIND AND BARRIER MAGNETS BEHAVIORS, as well as region 5, 7 and 8 edges and some background tilesets, also contains road corners, diagonal roads with diferent angles, custom electric barriers, and more quantity of basic parts.

Fuzee editor TRANSLATED by CatadorLocao:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yJ0...
This version is translated and it will make you edit easier, translates text and cmplog, replaces the wind tiles with L and R, and minor changes like "M" and "B" tiles letters.
However, it delays a bit more when switching regions and patching.


Notes:

If you don't know where to put the finish line, it goes right at the left of the AI red line.

The 7th course of Practice mode will be the course shown at the title screen (The pre-made driving will not work, as explained in the video).

In a long jump, try to put the AI pointers on the roads rather than the squares with no road, this will prevent an explosive AI vehicle and vehicles behind you to spawn (You can set the teleport off in the pointers off road to make vehicles not to spawn as well).

You can make crossed roads which you can jump, this means you can cross the AI paths making roads to encounter and jump them, but as it is not possible to implement the Giant Ship feature, this could lead to some glitches.
Refer to this video for more information:    • F Zero Fuzee Shortcut Penalty Test  

You can make byways which can not only be near itselves or at the same direction, however, you would need to be very careful when setting the AI pointers, place them together at the start and at the end of the byway the best as possible.
Check this example: https://i.imgur.com/6mBX0db.png

In a long jump, be sure to make the AI to be able to make that jump, or else the vehicles will fall off the course and they will drive in mid-air (In case of patching a ROM with CPU health, they will just explode making an impossible course for them, see the Community corner for patches info).

You can work with a palette-modified ROM in Fuzee, but only by editing the "fzero" ROM in your Fuzee folder since Fuzee needs a headerless ROM, so the modified palettes will save into "fzero" and it will open with no problems in Fuzee (This works with both Japanese and USA headerless ROMs).
However, if you edit the "output" palettes and try to rename it to "fzero" it will not work, because the output file is an expanded ROM, which will not work properly on Fuzee (You will see other region's AI path with the un-editable pointers, which weirdly changes the pointers into another region's if you move a purple AI dot in any region's pointers) and if you patch it, it will be glitched, so in summary, follow the first explanation.
