Hacking Custom Images for Wii Settings

[nicksasa]

custom image ? what do you mean

 

[Adr990]

it is a u8, not an ASH, even though the file name is ASH.

I reccommend parse-U8.c for U8 unpacking and U8Tool for packing everything but U8's with TPLs in them.

I can't get my Devkit Pro to work ATM... (It ever did work...

)

So if you... or someone else... maybe, please want to compile it for me... I'll be thankfully!

[nicksasa]

its for pc so you can compile fine on linux or use visual studio on windows ...

I know which one is the one for the disc like wii disc and gmecube disc so far I've changed the color of those I'm looking for the clock and background of the channels but I haven't found them.

 

[digitydogs]

dark try chansel.... jeesh people if you really wanted to know all you had to do was ask....
and background CAN NOT be an image. ONLY a solid color. At least until someone else figures out how to change the brlyt and animation files, hehe.

Note clock cannot be changed without editing brlyt/anim files, you'll corrupt your channels if you try.

digitydogs, is all the files to change the menu background in chansel then??

 

[56killer]

How it looks by now.

 

[icefireicefire]

interesting...I'm working on this...please PM me details...if you want...thanks...

 

[dazz159]

That looks mint 56killer

 

[SWORD21]

How it looks by now.

Whoa!!!!! I'd rather probably keep them the same as they were before though. But that's just me.

 

[Rykin]

It's a nice concept art. Hope to see more development.

Its a dramatic change so people can see what can be done on the Wii.

 

[digitydogs]

eh its not that dramatic you edited a square image with a transparent alpha setting into a circle.

 

[Drihscol]

so has this started? are we getting into custom theme dev?

 

[digitydogs]

Driscol i release a CSM alpha preview three days ago.... head to softmii.com and its in the forums under healthscreen

 

[Drihscol]

this is the third person ive seen hack the files tho. you, some other guy, on know this guy!

 

[digitydogs]

oh i released info in several posts about how to do it, and have been giving out info in PM. shizza released a guide on healthscreens, and with the app loader we released from crediar its now safe to play with this stuff. There is actually a program in the works to automate all of this so everyone can do it. And of course icefire released healthii for easily changing healthscreens

 

[Xras]

Pretty nice stuff there..

Can't wait to see more of it

 

[Drihscol]

great. cant wait for systemii XD

I've made an image breakdown of both the cursor.ash and chanttl.ash files if anyone is intrested. The Chart breaks down the TPLs' file size, height, width, and a picture of the image. It's a little too big to place the charts in the forum, so here are the links.

Cursor.ash

Chanttl.ash

I plan on eventually making a chart for each of the .ash files.
