Many of you are probably aware of the infamous Book in the Bottle (http://www.mariowiki.com/Noki_Bay), and have probably seen it yourself, too.
A friend of mine and I have recently looked to the insides of the game and extracted several model files, from which one is the Bottle scene. Thought you might be interested on some imagery of the book and how it really looks like. Below is the unnecessary huge animated GIF which shows un-rendered scenes of our journey to retrieve the book.

Here (http://paskaservu.zapto.org/files/Book.mp4)'s the link to a video that observes the book more closely. For those who can't view them MP4s, here's an image.

No text or title whatsoever. Oh well.
Special thanks to Peardian for converting the original model to a readable format!

Amazing. You never fail to impress me, Raccoon Sam.
Any other info, like the file name or anything? (Though, it's probably just something general like "book" >_>"
-
The object was —strangely enough— nameless and included with the level object itself. Usually levels are very plain and the sub-objects like coins, people and palmtrees are imported in afterwards. The book is also the same object as the door; you can't move the door without moving the book.
-
Very interesting. Actually, I had no idea there was any book in that level at all...
-
Amazing.I never even knew there was a book in that level.

Yeah, that is strange considering it's a separate object, I assume.
-
The doors shape kinda looks like the door for Super Mario Bros. 2 (US version).
The book...maybe it belonged to the old Noki guy. Or maybe it was for a Blooper? Oh! Wait a sec! Do you think that's the same book Rosalina had? And they turned it into a mini story in Super Mario Galaxy? Aarhgh! I need answers!
-
I want to say that maybe the idea of cliff-dwelling Nokis was dumped and that was going to be just some house (with a table and chair and all).
That being said, very impressive, um, game-gut searching! (the actual word escapes me)
-
Incredible. The rumors are debunked!
-
The video's down.
Shame, I really wanted to see this.

I can find the button to post a new topic :-(
So please re-post this for me
I have created to most complete SMB conversion for DOOM. It will require Edge (links at bottom) and a copy of Doom.wad
This WAD will replace ALL textures, sprites, graphics, enemies, weapons and sounds with ones from the best Mario games.
If anyone is interested in making levels for this, let me know. Also, it would be a great deal of help, and add to the legitimate Mario atmosphere if I could send someone the midis to be converted to .mus
Well, here it is, check out!
Link for Edge program: http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=edge&filename=Edge-1.31-win32.zip&use_mirror=superb-east
Link for Mario WAD file: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vkzxrmwmmj3/Doomed%20Super%20Mario.zip
Please play through enough levels before commenting back! Thanks!, using DOOM.

Once you download these, extract them, and place your Doom.wad and Mario.wad in the edge folder. Then simply drag Mario.wad into the edge executable.
Please play through enough levels before commenting back! Thanks!

hey, has anyone been able to find the whomp sound effect anywhere. i have looked everywhere and i have come up empty handed.
-
A request once, in even a slightly relevant topic, would've been far more effective; but, regardless, I think this sound pack (http://mfgg.net/index.php?act=resdb¶m=02&c=5&id=641) might be helpful, assuming you're looking for the SM64 voice.
Also, it truly is amazing how much effort people put in to find such discoveries in games; and I'm thankful they do, for the sake of our sanity. xP Great job finding it, btw!

Apparently this is where you post topics now.
-
But I wanted to post a forum.
-
I've been trying to post an internet for years.
-
Any tree can post an internet. I'll post the freaking moon.
-
"Apparently this is where you post topics now",
Yeah, I was inquiring on how to post a topic.. also trying to offer the Mario community a golden egg I worked very hard on, so thanks for being a tushy about it.
-
I found this video of someone getting to the book on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOZtaMhIILE
Obviously, he was unable to do anything with the book, but I still think it's cool that you can get to it.

I hope you saw my post...?

They can, however, make flippant insults.

This was in the Japanese Version guys
You had to retrieve it or something for the old man.
NoA just added the door instead of removing it outright
-boom topic over
-
Sorry, but it was exactly the same in the Japanese version as it is in the American version. You can't get the book in either version of the game.

I forgot to add something in my last post :
This WAS in the Japanese version, before NoA added the door, apparently NoJ already had a door to block it, and they just translated it
-
before NoA added the door, apparently NoJ already had a door
So... who added the door?
NoJ already had a door to block it, and they just translated it
Door isn't a language, so you can't translate it.
-
Never mind, I just watched the MP4 of the book, so what I posted is not true.
-
So... who added the door?
Door isn't a language, so you can't translate it.
NoJ
and I mean NoA JUST translated it, as in, that's really all they had to do, because NoJ added a door
-
"Added" in the sense that they put it in the game in the first place? Let me reiterate: You cannot collect the book in any version of the game. It is unobtainable in the Japanese version just like it is in every other version.

It WAS going to be collectable, but Nintendo did the lazy way out and just added a door
and you're right, you cannot collect the book in any version of the game, but I SAID it was able to be collectable
keyword: WAS
get it?
-
In a game that's old enough to be referred to in the past tense, you'll have to be more specific.

kay :
It was GOING to be collectable, as in, WAS, but, Nintendo added the door instead of deleting the object itself, and just removed the code around it.
NOW DO YOU GET IT?

I think that was obvious from the very beginning.
