Hacking Custom Forwarder and Tips

[SifJar]

Use this link instead: http://www.wiibannerguide.tk/

It's based on the same guide (both made by me) but is more recently updated and easier to navigate and just generally better. You can also find all of my legal base WADs on this page.

EDIT: Crap, don't use that link. Seems it has been taken by some spammers. Here, use this one: https://sites.google.com/site/wiibannerguide/

Thanks guys for the links - especially SifJar your website really makes animation simple to learn.
I know about benzin, What I was referring to when I said a tool for editing animation is a GUI Tool like a Gif-Animator which will be very user friendly.
Maybe a GUI-Benzin will be something that will fill a gap in this area.

 

[SifJar]

Unlikely to happen. Benzin hasn't been updated publicly for years. Megazig was working on some banner generation tool that would be easier to use, but I haven't heard anything about it lately, dunno if he's still working on it or not. Just learn it the "hard" way, it's actually not that hard.

Everything you make is unofficial, you don't need to specify that.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Those icons took me lot of time to get them just right.
Did you test'em yet?

So what base channel or icon base was used for the latest one?

 

[WrathofGod]

I'm gonna try these out even though I have bootmii start when my wii powers on. They look pretty cool Good work m8!

That doesn't mean you didn't use a base wad. I assume that you aren't sharing illegal content anymore though.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

The base wad is "top secret"
Google X-Files AND wad

Meaning you are again taking credit for someone else's work (again).

 

[AbdallahTerro]

That was a joke man. I did it all myself

Those are the guides I read if anyone is interested:

So you wrote a BRLAN and BRLYT completely from scratch after about a day of learning about them, and they just happened to turn out pretty much exactly the same as the previous ones you were using? That seems slightly suspicious to me...

I learn fast:

For WiiFlow Carbonik and Startnight users, The same channels with WiiFlow tweaks:

Carbonik:
Starnight:

i highly doubt you learn that fast making a channel that looks good and animates just how you want it can take days even for a advanced benzin user
and looking at some other things that people have given you the information about that you couldnt work out at the time it just seems odd

copy and pasting one brlyt and brlan and converting with benzin doesnt make them legal

also ive looked through you brlyt and im sorry to say but i see many things that a beginner would never do
for starters you have pan1 sections nested in pan1 sections theres no way you would have done that
the names on your materials and panes make no sense for the banner you made
the universal serial bus pic you added is still called nintendo_112x32.tpl
banner_sports_icon.tpl uses CI8 formating
in the brlans you use the RLVI and RLTS tags which arnt documented on any of you reference sites

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Ok diddy - I'm busted - You could have sent a PM

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Since I love Carbonik I made a second one with new expanding icon, banner & sound

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Starnight v2 & Carbonic v1b with new icons

I'm really happy with the results now, so I think "that's it" - No more updates.
I'm using this combo right now and very happy with it;
Carbonik v2b for wiiflow
Circles v2 for CFG Loader

Please give me feedback if you like/dislike a specific channel or if you want to suggest specific improvements.

Thanks to all for the guides.
