Hacking Minor CSM problem

[twofive]

Hi!

I just tried to replace the "Wii-Disc" in the Disc Channel. For example I just made a minor change: I added "DVD-R".
I used Photoshop CS3 to edit it. I saved it as 32-Bit BMP, but I didn't know how to save it as "32 bit bmp no alpha layers".
After saving as BMP I saved it as TPL using Gallys TPL Converter. I selected "RGB5A3" and clicked on that grey color.

Then I packed all back together and installed 0000045.app on my Wii, but now I got such a ugly frame surrounding the disc:

I think it's because I weren't able to find out how to remove the alpha layers.
Can someone please beat me to find that option?

Beat you?

With a stick?

Until you find that option?

My fail - my English is just crap

Nevermind, can someone please help me?
I tried searching but that made me even more confused...

It's this one:

But may you mind telling me how you do it? I want to replace a few more images and don't want to ask you for every pic

Awesome, thank you!
Are there any special settings needed for the TGA?
If not, I start modding right now

nono convert the image from tpl to tga with tpl_viewer and also modific the tga files.

EDIT : this is the correctly link http://www.megaupload.com/?d=T51SKHVL

Does saving as TGA from Photoshop CS3 work, too? That would make that way easier!

Can't you just read the How to make your own CSM-Thread, and asking there, instead of creating a whole, new, f****** Thread, and messing up the Forum? This nerves me a bit...

ADD THE DAMM TRANSPARENCY WITH TPL...it's well described in the Thread, so I don't think you've read the Thread well...

Easy Steps:
-Load the Image with TPL-App
-Klick on the Color that should be transparent
-Choose RGB5A3
-Save as .tpl

Oh, and I'm pretty shure, you'll mess up the System...Chances are around 80%...transparent Images never worked for me...

I did that, but then I get that result you see on top... Ugly frame surrounding the Disc

//EDIT: Do I have to check "Sin color alpha"?

I apologized Photshop CS4, but how do I save the Bmp in 32 bit?

thanks

In CS3 it's after you pressed OK in the save dialogue:

Using yours it now looks like this...



No disc, huh?

//EDIT:
I tried again with TPL conv, but I get the same ugly frame around the disc... dammit!

//EDIT:
I found my solution!
I copied the JPG from the Wii System Image Charts breakdown thread. They have the wrong transparent color.
When I extract the Image myself it works flawlessly.
Thanks for all your help!

[WiiShizzza]

best result will be using TGA files with alpha channel in combination with TPL_EDIT_FE.
