How to Use

Prerequisites

• Please make sure that you have wimms iso tools installed, specifically wit
• Make sure you have the game Super Paper Mario in .iso or .wbfs format
• All mods should be placed within a directory named mods, and each mod should be in its own folder within the mods directory.
• Each mod directory must contain a modinfo.ini file. The first line of this file should be modname=Your Mod Name. Usually this is provided by the mod creator, but if not then you will have to make it yourself
• Any rel mods will require you to install a gecko code to load the rel file. If the mod creator did not provide you with one then get the one for your version of SPM here

Usage

1. Run the Mod-Manager executible.
2. It will ask you for your SPM version, please enter it
3. You can extract your game files by running your SPM rom with the mod manager before opening it or by putting your game rom in the same directory as the executible and naming it "spm.iso" or "spm.wbfs"
4. You will see a list of available mods to install. Each mod will be numbered.
5. To install a mod, enter the corresponding number and press Enter.
6. If you want to uninstall all mods, enter -1 and press Enter. This will restore the game to its original state using the backup.
7. If you are finished and want to quit, enter 0 and press Enter. The program will then ask you if you want to compile your game rom. If you want to do this, enter yes, then enter any input to exit.

Disclaimer: Modding can potentially damage game files. Always ensure that you have a backup of your original game files before installing any mods: it is highly recommended to move the original game rom out of the folder once it has been extracted as a failsafe way to get back to vanilla. Furthermore, there is currently very limited support for multiple rel mods, assume that you can only have one rel mod installed unless the mod maker says specifically that it can be installed with other rel mods.
