Hacking Mario Kart 8 Modding Central

[Deleted User]

Does someone can give me a tutorial for the bfres tool ? I don't find anything helpfull on google.. -_-

 

[Bri11]

What is TexConv2.exe?

 

[AboodXD]

An texture converter from the SDK.

I don't recommend using it though.

 

[Bri11]

Why?

 

[AboodXD]

Tool from the SDK, copyrighted material.

You have to sign an NDA to use the SDK.

You could use GTX Extractor, the link to it is in my signature.

Can anyone help me replace voice clips? Or is there some sort of cohesive guide for modding MK8 in general? I'm new to this.

I might aswell link some extra tutorials + how to do voice edits:

Voice edits quick tutorial:

Spoiler

1. Get uwizard.
2. In the settings tab press "Extract Sarc"
3. Goto content/audio/driver in your MK8 dump and select the character you want to edit. Put the files in another folder
4. Get Wexos Toolbox.
5. Open it and goto file - New From File - BFWAV
6. Select a .wav file of the voice.
7. Then save as a .bfwav and name it of the sound you want to replace from your sarc extracted.
8. To preview the bfwavs from your character get foobar and the vgm stream plugin then simply open the bfwav with it.
9. To save your sarc, use the "Pack Sarc" feature in uwizard and select the folder containing all the bfwavs of your character (your sarc extracted)
10. Rename the sarc to the original file name with a .bars extension. Example: SNDG_M_Mario.bars

(This applies to any bfwav in the game including track sfx or other wii u games that use the same format)

Setting up MK8 mods with SD Cafiine

Spoiler

Get this one instead of the tutorial one
Instructions are on github incase it changes but it is basically

root:/sdcafiine/[TITLEID]/[MODPACK]/content/  <-- for game files. Maps to /vol/content/
root:/sdcafiine/[TITLEID]/[MODPACK]/aoc/      <-- for downloadable content files. Maps to /vol/aocXXXXXXXX/

Use these title IDs
000500001010EC00 - US
000500001010EB00 - JP
000500001010ED00 - EU

I have mine currently setup like this (v1.4)

EMUNAND8SD (i) being just my SD card name

For those installing just mods either refer to the mod install instructions on installing or use this file system structure.

Hi, just a quick update: I have no interest in this thread anymore, if anyone wants it they can take it, or if there are better guides out there I'd like this thread to be deleted.

I can look into making a new thread.

Rather than delete this thread, why not just ask a mod to lock it instead (and have a link to the new thread)? I would hate to have the information in here be thrown away.

The new thread can be found here.

A better place to ask might be in the thread for the PC client you're using, e.g. TCPGecko, JGeckoU
