Hacking cSM Suite

[twofive]

I built this little cSM helper for me, maybe some of you might find it useful.
If you dislike it, please don't flame me, as said I built it just for me, but I thought I share it with you

)

It did a great job for me when creating twoSM, so I may help you, too.
All predefined elements are in English (some OS-specific are German because my Vista is German).

You need to change the paths in the INI file before you can use it.

When I was using it it was called "tool" and had hardcoded paths. I polished it a bit for you guys (INI stuff and so on ..)

Have fun!

//EDIT:
If you're on Vista and it's throwing an error, try running it in Admin mode, because it needs some Visual Basic OCXes it tries to load when they do not exist

This is needed only once per system, I think.

//EDIT: If that doesn't fix it, try running it in Admin mode! (Right click -> Run as Administrator)

what does it mean by

Please define a valid folder in "csmsuite.ini".
Use absolute paths, for example:
C:\wii\csm

please explain

Nice work. I'm also working on a tool a bit like that but it's in autoit

It builds up two Windows Explorer-like frames, and you have to define the paths the frames show.
For example:

You want to edit your 0000045.app, so you set Frame one ("path1") to C:\wii \ 00045-app-out
And you want to have your pictures in Frame two ("path2"), so you set it to C:\wii\csm-images

This doesn't convert or do anything, it is only intended to keep some order.
I can add a tool if you send it to me

 

[WiiBlaster]

I don't have enough skills to do so

But I wouldn't appreciate such tool, if that came out every noob would build it's own crap theme and quality themes will be hard to find...

 

[buby78]

ok i guess im to high cause i cant figure it out. all i need to finish my csm is to change the time and some icons, but im fucking lost

if you can help me out i will be very thankful!!!!! fuck my blunt went out!!!

 

[WiiShizzza]

Great one!
I also got a tool like this. I made it with VB net. it's that cheap and has only buttons, but works for deash, convert and yaz0enc...

Some skilled programmer should bring out a real tool.

respect to twofive!

Well I'm working on a tool that will:
- decompress ASH files using ASH.exe by Crediar (already done check my sig)
- encode ASH files using yaz0enc
- replace a TPL
- extract a .app
- compress a .app

All that just by ticking check boxes so that even n00bs will be able to make their own csm
