Hacking Animated Banners and Looping Sound

[Richy Freeway]

Whats the difference between you using the illegal material and giving us the choice to use illegal material?

Uhhhm. Cos orangechicken aren't responsible for the choices you make!

What a stupid question.

That doesn't even make sense. If they had no responsibility then they'd release it though they feel they have responsibility for what other people do with their material.

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)

A: I haven't released any of my modified works to others.
B: I WON'T be releasing "modified" works, only originals (once I get it all figured out).
C: I WON'T be releasing any form of info on how to create your own from scratch (again, once I get it down). Reason? Because I'm getting really grumpy about people wanting to abuse my educational investments with homebrew in general.

I'm focused on learning the in's and out's of the Wii, I don't give a damn about "playing backups" or "downloading VC titles" or any of that garbage.

I placed my findings here with the idea in mind that other people would gain more interest and also contribute with "original" works.

I entered the realm of Wii homebrew only recently. But programming, digital arts, and COMMUNITY are nothing new to me. The channel animations became an obsession of mine for the past few days and in that time I learned ALOT about their structure and methods.

Since people are obviously going to be using this info for releasing modified official channels, I'm done giving further info. I don't care to be linked to that.

i can kind of relate to that i just enjoy making banners then once ive seen them on the telly delete them ive reached the point where i cant be bothered to post wads its just a shame nobody is releasing any how to's at this stage.

ok, for my point shizzza said it all

(thx bro) we won't release channels with illegal stuff but show you what is possible. we both (shizzza and i) wait ourselves for the (hopefully) great app....

kind regards
NeoRame

ps: for the one who creates banner for himself, ... use tga´s not bmp´s but be careful, u can easily brick your wii, trust me, i know what i'm saying.....

Here we go once again with this illegal stuff.... What makes you think its "legal" to alter your Wii to run homebrew?? I haven't seen the Nintendo site mention anything about if you buy our product there is even more fun available with homebrew for advanced games/users.... nope I think homebrew is illegal as well.... so why are people still constantly bitching about illegal code? I mean seriously people, if you tell most people that dont know homebrew about what you do with your wii they will automatically think what you are doing to your Wii is illegal. Come on?? Who are we really kidding here? There is no thinline to divide.... it's plain and simple... you are running illegal code on the Nintendo either way.. why the hell do you think Ninty is trying to stop it?!

People need to come together with themselves and get out of the land of DENIAL. It's only fueling anger that is pointless because it wil be a battle never ended that you keep playing in your own mind.
Let's just have fun....Damn...

I don't sway one way or the other on the 'illegality' issue here. If the coders want it done a certain way then that's what they get to do. Don't complain about free stuff.

I say THANK YOU to the dev teams out there making this all possible. Without you we wouldn't have the amazing capabilities that the Wii has today. Please ignore all the haters and flamers that post, they aren't worth worrying about.


PS, I see a downloads section on the 0C website but they are disabled (bandwidth issues) right now, also wondering if there is an updated timeline available for this stuff?

We've just bought a new server, domain and unlimited bandwidth line. So we're working on getting everything on to the new server, but it could take a few weeks.

My respect go to NeoRame and WiiShizzza.
You guys are awesome to get animated Banners working, and that without our help.

 

[WiiShizzza]

Thanks Gundalf.
I really appreciate your help, but cos of the considered issues I can understand you won't give some info out.
Maybe we should talk in a more private way and fiddle out a solution for all of us.

I realy understand that you don't want to release "pirated" Stuff, and I'm supporting that!!! More illegal things and the developer and Nintendo will abadon the Wii...

But why can't you give us a clue, how to made the images/animations ready? So maybe something like: : You need a .gif, you need a Flash animation, you need an .avi, it shouldn't be over 5 MB, etc...something like that? So some peoples (including me) can try to start already with the Animations...or watch if they can deal with that...and when the Tool is released, many awesome Channels will appear...Or isn't this possible, because it's not so easy? I realy have no clue about making animated banners, and I would love to have at least one, small clue...Hope you can answer my question...

I'm waiting for the tool, hope it comes soon, but don't rush

. And Keep up the great Work

!!!

We will release tutorials when we've perfected our techniques. I don't think we've been too stingy on our tutorials in the past, so be patient, and in the meantime, do some research for yourselves so that when we are prepared enough to share the information, you'll understand better where we're coming from.

I agree with loesjoel....

THE ANIMATED BANNERS ARE MORE COMPLEX THAN YOU THINK. THEY ARE A COMPLETELY NEW FORMAT -- NO ANIMATED GIFs or FLASH or AVIs or ANYTHING!
