Hacking App to convert between TPL (IA4) and PNG?

[damysteryman]

Hi everyone,

Is there a Windows app that is capable of converting a certain TPL, specifically TPL type IA4 (type IA4 has an alpha channel), to and from PNG format?

I need it for a "secret project"...

I need to edit TPLs that are type IA4, and when the editing is done, it has to be converted back to IA4, as no other TPL type will be accepted by the "secret project".

Thanks in advance,
da_letter_a

Try customize Mii... I think it can.

* Fixed Complex Forwarder in combination with Waninkoko's NAND Loader
* Fixed saving of base WADs
* Fixed saving of WAD after sending it to the Wii
* Fixed CMP TPL code (thanks pbsds)
* Added conversion to IA8 (thanks pbsds), IA4, I8 and I4
* Fixed conversion from IA8 and I4
* Fixed some general TPL bugs (format detection, ...)
* Added additional paths to the Complex Forwarder (max. 16)

you could use howard Cs TPL Editor FE, which worked out best for me.
Or you could have a look at leathls Wii Tools.CS.

//EDIT: TplMii doesn't support IA4, yet.

I know that the Wii.au3 tools that pbsds is making support every type of TPL but there still in development

Yes CUstomizemii 2.2 is your best bet or compiling the latest revision from the google code...

That's because it's in the beta section where only admins/mods/beta testers have access

Sorry, but it only supports from png to RGBA8, RGB565 and RGB5A3.
But it supports from all tpl formats to png!
BTW, the development has stopped, i have moved over to python.

Do we know anything about the .T64-files in the WAD files, which usually are to be in the same place as the game/rom? 0...05.app have them .T64-files!

EDIT: I imagine that .T64-file is a patch for the game. Or texture change. Is it possible to change/look at these files?

I can't find that file. :/
Is it in WiiWare or VC?(only checked vc)

 

[damysteryman]

T64 files are usually found in the 00000005.app file from an unpacked N64 vc wad.

I too am interested in the .T64 file format. I hope you can learn how to edit them, then teach us...

I know that you can delete them .T64 files and the game works. But the change is that the .WAD file using the original textures of the game/rom, not .T64 files. An example is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time!
