Hacking Animated Banners and Looping Sound

[Nuke85]

Good work..Can't wait!

 

[lourens]

I am curious to know how this works. Real smooth, can't wait for a release or tutorial.

P.S how is the wiki doing?

 

[WiiShizzza]

Yeah, looks nice.

I also whipped up a couple of animated channels.
You might saw on youtube

NeoRame and me did good success so far

We'll see, when we will release them.

 

[Jytach]

Amazing job.
I would REALLY LOVE an animated Linux linking channel.

And, if it's not too much a channel for Gamma.

 

[IronMask]

Can I get one for my xbox360 channel?

Looks good Shizzzle! You and Neo put it down nicely.

 

[Wiisel]

now if that gecko was moonwalking it would be perfect

nice work lads

 

[djbubba2002]

When are these channels coming out , they are very nice .. i would like to see them soon

 

[WiiShizzza]

Yeah, a moonwalking Gecko would be nice^^
I overworked my geckoschannel. Now it looks more smooth.
If I find the time, I can make a vid.

The release will propably take more time. Still not everything is investigated...

All,

I have created a version of Mahjongg Wii v0.7 that instead of returning to the loader it resets the Wii on exit

This should be better suited to be a channel to whoever want to use it

Heres the link Mahjongg Wii homepage

BTW I like the work on the animated banners and sound

Cheers

You are god that is by far the best HB app besides Gecko OS

the funny part is i just made a channel for the mrs just before you posted lol (forgetting about code dumps)

lets hope that more devs follow in your footsteps to allow us to free ourselves from hbc occupation

 

[TiMeBoMb4u2]

Well... It's definitely after Christmas. Any release yet?

Cheers man, ta for the feedback

Yeah in my eyes its better to be flexible - not everyone wants to use the HBC every time

Actually, we have 349 days left.

BTW. I've started toying around with animated channels myself.
So far I've sucessfuly "modified" a channels animation.
1. Ripped opening.bnr off an original/ISO - via wiiscrubber
2. Extracted 00000001.app -> banner.bin -> the folder of TPL's
3. Converted the TPL's to bmp with alpha's in tact.
4. Modified converted TPL's (BMP's) to my liking, assuring the alpha channels where available once completed.
5. Converted back to TPL's, again verifying the alpha'a.
6. Repacked the Banner.bin
7. Repacked the 00000001.app
8. Injected into ready-made WAD.

DONE! (ok honestly it was quite a bit harder then this sounds, but thats the basics)

Now, I've got a channel for my app "/Quit" where the animation sequence is the same as from the banner I got from the game, Only the images are ones that I created.
The App Title (/Quit) FLASHES once then moves in and out slowly, there's a glow that fades in and out from the image of the Wii Drive Slot, and the background does a "fly-by" when entering the channel.

Cool stuff huh!

heres something for you guys!!!!

download included in the video!

 

[friknfrak]

I'm gonna do more fine-tunning and also edit the icon/logo, and put my own sound in the channel.

The app is no big deal, but me learning how to work in my own images for the animation is a big deal to me

Then I'm sure I'll start figuring out how to build the channels from the gound up (creating the animation package)

 

[djtaz]

or do you have a video of the channel.


Great work Shizza and Neo - i did tell the lads at 0RANGECHiCKEN to get you on board - your good at all that type of stuff in fairness to you both.

Hope the research goes well and we see the results in the end with a how to , or an animated wadder
