How to make mods for Super Mario Maker

Tools I use located here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fppcq27n5n43elz/Tools.zip?dl=0

First, here's a list of what is what.


SZS = Yaz0 compressed SARC file
SARC = SARC file
ARC = SARC file
PACK = SARC file
BFRES = FRES
BFLIM = FLIM (Layout Images)
BFLYT = Layout
BFLAN = Animation

--------------------------------------------
Here's where files are stored in the game.

TILESETS = M1, M3, MW, and WU _plain in the Model folder.
BACKGROUNDS = M1, M3, MW, and WU _DV in the Model folder.
ENEMIES = StaticSkin.pack in the Pack folder.
LAYOUT = Edit.pack, NormalPlay.pack (Pack folder) and in the Layout folder has some more.
TEXT/MESSAGES = Message folder
FONT = Font folder
SOUND = Sound folder (not covered yet)
--------------------------------------------

Now, here's which tools to use to decompress and edit each format.


SZS = SARCExtract
SARC = SARCExtract
PACK = Wii U ZIP
BFRES = BFRES Tool
BFLIM = BFLIM Tool
BFLYT = Wexos Toolbox
BFLAN = Wexos Toolbox

To use SARCExtract, drag your SARC or SZS file into the program.

To use Wii U ZIP, open the program and in the "File" menu, press open then find your file. You can use this to replace game files that are in a .PACK

To use BFRES Tool, open the .exe in the BFRES Tool folder, wait for a small window to open, then in the "File" tab press open and find your Output.bfres file.

To use BFLIM Tool, open the .exe in the BFLIM Tool folder, wait for a small window to open, then in the "File" tab press open and find your BFLIM file.

To use Wexos Toolbox, open the .exe in the Wexos Toolbox folder, then in the "File" tab, press open and find your file (Wexos Toolbox can open SARC and SZS files, too.)

--------------------------------------------

Here's how to compress.


For compressing BFRES into .sarc files, open the folder "SARC PACK" in command prompt, then type this:

    "python level_pack.py < folder of bfres > < name of file.sarc >"

For compressing .sarc files into SZS files, copy your .sarc into the Wszst folder, then open that folder in
command prompt and type: "wszst COMPRESS < sarc name.sarc > --dest < szs name you want.szs >"

For compressing .szs files into PACK files, use Wii U ZIP's replace function.
