Someone named puggsoy on https://www.vg-resource.com/thread-31216.html seems to have a good start
Picture from that

For that one
Offset

803x680 panel size
Tile size 8x8
16 bits per pixel (16bpp)
Little Endian
Linear
2 byte skip
1 pixel width skip
8 pixel height skip

Palette (what determines the colours) is in the same dms file.
Offset
0x0 (so start of the file)
TIle size 8x2
2 Bytes per colour (16 bit colours basically)
RGB order
Big Endian for the palette
Linear mode
Alpha bits at the end bit apparently ignored
Skip size of 1 colour.


Tiledggd is a wonderful program for graphics ripping. You can get it

Seems the game guy that found this also did a fork of it https://github.com/puggsoy/tiledggd-pe-

    I don't have a wii u anymore to test it myself, but if homebrews are not visible on the wii u menu I think you can press L + R + minus to open the plugin menu, there should be an option called "homebrews on wii u menu" or something similar
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    nope
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    it is L+dpad down+ select

  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    yes, now I remember it
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    then it is working, I also don't like that they did this but it is the only option you have if you are using aroma

    @BigOnYa, How do I make enemies respawn on gdevelop after
    the player dies?

    Carrying a PC or phone is so old school!
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Squeeze your cheeks twice to answer calls!
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty you can use a "spawner" function on any object.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or when your player dies, you can say in code, if enemy exists, do nothing, but if enemy does not exist, then create enemy at certain spot. (This would be a pain tho for lots of emeies)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Easiest, simple way would be just restart scene, but player would restart from beginning.
