use the u8 tools to unpack the banner.bin then use Gally's tpl veiwer to check the image sizes out in the unpacked banner.bin then just replace them with your own matching those sizes

I tried that... but...
It gives me a overflow error

on 2 accounts (normal and All rights account)

 

[Wiisel]

you may need to hex edit the banner.bin first like on VC banners

What must I edit on it? 0_o

I never had to do that...

Remove everything up to the text U.8 in a Hex editor.

heres a slightly longer clip

Remove everything up to the text U.8 in a Hex editor.

or use the U8Tool by Howardc, it supports the .bins with LZ77 compression

Well i'm pretty good at doing it myself now, But lets say i want to make like the Backup Loader text part transparent. i've tried like almost everything but nothing seems to work. Any ideas? or a program to use

 

[icefireicefire]

Gally's TPL converter, use a BMP or PNG image (NOT JPG), make sure it is RGB5A3 (not RGB565), click the background color to make it transparent.

Thanks well i got it working but it looks like crap.lol I had already used a jpeg pic before you posted I guess thats why it looks like crap. I'll try again with a Bmp or PNG
it had a bunch of black around the text, I guess thats why you dont use Jpeg

 

[icefireicefire]

Yes, jpeg has artifacts

.

 

[WiiBlaster]

Yes, jpeg has artifacts

Yep that seemed to work out the bugs, Prefectly. Thanks

 

[icefireicefire]

Should I start a forum for all this stuff at WADder.net? so we have a more easy place to discuss banners?

 

[WiiShizzza]

You could try to use TGA files, that should work out better then bitmaps or jpegs...
Although, tplconv seems not to work properly. You might try another tpl editor, also.

 

[icefireicefire]

TPLConv gave me weird TPL files. I think gally's is still the best.
