Nice texture hacks, well done, I especially like the Golden Bird.

 

[doombringer]

I just made new Cool stuff (more to come)

I love this tunic really great:
-black belt
-chain tunic
-grey pants
-link now have beard!
-black hair and brown eye LOL
-the hat isnt so good..

TP tunic is back

The TP tunic is back:
-the green color now is less bright.

Soon more stuff, stay tune, i want play SS so bad.. i need to wait my pack.

 

[DaRk_ViVi]

Great job, some textures are really good!

@doombringer: Però Link con la barba non si può proprio vedere. xD

 

[GabrielSimonetti]

Great job, doombringer! Keep posting more awesome mods!

Guys, I need help for a project that I'm planning to do.
Not sure if anyone else tried it; I want to take the 3D models in the ISO and create a Java or Flash plugin that allows a user to view the 3D model in real-time on a web page (such as this one) . So far I have managed to extract the models and textures and import them into the Unreal Engine 3:

I can't get past this stage. I am unable to export the SkeletonMesh to another format such as OBJ to be read with a plugin.

Can anyone assist, please?

Hey doombringer, congratulations on your hacks. I can't wait to try them myself.

Anyway, now that the game has been "released" can we expect your tutorial anytime soon?

Well, I am new to the Wii hacking and for my project on NDS, I wanted to rip the images from the Wii.
When I saw this post I wanted to send a PM to doombringer to ask about how he have done it but somehow I can't make myself look like a newbie so I decided to spend 15 min with my friend http://www.google.com and I think that now I have all the info and the tools to do what I want without have to disturb doombringer.
This post quote omarzuqo but it's directed to all the one who are asking for a tutorial and asked maybe doombringer directly.

I will not tell you where / how to do it either but I will tell you like this:
start from wii graphic formats, if you have to ask what graphic formats are used or what is what, then better stop right there.

Useless post is useless, gtfo.

I've managed to decompress the .LZ file, open and view the textures but unable to convert it from .CMPR to whatever format then convert it back. Any help with that Mr. Doombringer?

Link Great Fairy Sword IS back (majora mask)
TEST SCREEN

A clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5GJ5MQAcNs

-Created and injected back in the iso.
-This sword hack, now is much bigger and larger than the link's swords. (M+ works well)
-The polygon works well too, you can hit things and wall.
-Very similar to the great fairy sword LOs.

Right now i think i have found a GOOD 3D program that let me change the polygons and put it back.

Sorry guys but right now i dont have time to explain, when i will get the full game i will help you.

Anyway stay tuned for more hack (big things are coming)

This is awesome but people only want to make their own things. Sure, you are great at what you do here and finding the tools able to do this but I'm sure we all want to be able to try this. You have time to explain as you do make all this and show it off, kind of reminds me of Mathieulh. The full game has the same LZ77 and is able to decompress fully but unable to convert image files to .CMPR(I'll try a new method at home).

Well the clear difference between Mathieulh is doombringer is willing to share; he is just asking for some time. I don't care to argue about Math but he does have some points to why he doesn't share.

How would you feel if Sony came knocking at your door like a Pimp and a said you got their escort knocked up now pay up? LoL

Funny fact. Link's hand is actually made up by using 7 hands in different positions, thats a total of 14 hands lol. WTB 14 master swords to go with them

Anyway, I have found enough tools to export everything. However, I cant find any application that lets me replace files in the archives (such as a texture).
A little help? lol


Edit: Link! Ready for a makeover in 3DS Max

Spoiler

Dont ask why his eyes are missing, I havnt looked at that yet.

Good job!
however, i think 14 hands not only for swords, but for tool (bow, bomb,) and shields too.
you dont know how to inject textures into the poligon?

Ghiraim in all his 3D movement
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8XD8KHOC1I&feature=channel_video_title

Works great with a program, and support all poligons, texture + animations.
-Support everything of the game (level, skyloft, zelda, weapon, enemy)

This is one of the best legend of zelda enemy.

EDIT:
Skyloft will be editing, a want try some test first.

 

[Kiriashi]

If you can figure out a way to actually edit/make levels for SS... that would be the greatest thing ever.

Would it be a similar process to a program like VALVe Hammer or UTK?

 

[Lucif3r]

Doom: I cant find a program that lets me add textures to the .brres files. I can extract them fine though, but replacing them either crashes the app or spits out an error of various sorts (even if exporting the original and then importing the original texture again lol).
I can also replace models fine (I havnt tried if they actually work though, but the app let me replace and rebuild the file with the new models at least)

Oh ye, Ive also exported Fi and Ghirahim to 3ds now

However, Im searching for the file containing all the weapons (Mainly Master Sword) but have been unsuccessful in finding it (damn all those small files!)

Use SZS modifier

Open SZS modifier Ver 2.5.2.0
GUIDE:
-open .brres (u want to edit)
-open texture folder
-click on 1 texture, and on the right side you will see the texture (look this image up)
-now double click on the image and a new window will pop up
-now you can export or import the texture you want (but respect width-height of the original texture!)
-then, close that window
-on szs modifier click file and then save.

Now you have the brres with your own texture.
I hope you mean this!?

However, Im searching for the file containing all the weapons (Mainly Master Sword) but have been unsuccessful in finding it (damn all those small files!)

All link's item are here:

DVD root: Object/ ObjectPack.arc.LZ/ PLCompItem.arc

Unpack and you will find ALL link's weapons/tools.
Are all BRRES compressed with the same LZZ compression (decompress and view)

It exports to a .CMPR texture which you need to convert right. How do we convert to editable format and back?

It's very strange
when i click "export" (texture) SZS modifier give me: Save as type: ".png" (Not .CMPR.. umm )

try to update szs modifier to the last update,
if dont work, i dont know what you need to do... maybe your decompression is wrong, i dont know sorry.

Never mind, I've done it! I've managed to finally decompress the .LZ, extract the texture, edit it, import it back, save it and compress it back. Works 100%. I'll make a tutorial in a little.
