Homebrew [Tutorial] How to make a custom badge

[TUK_Pyroman]

I think I have found something about Shape!

I've tryed to convert a custom shape from a PNG image with photoshop. My picture was 64px * 64px with 32bit (8bit/channel; RGBA image).
I convert it to a grayscale image => 8bit (only 1 channel )
And I saved it to RAW format.
In HxD, I saw my RAW file are similar to a shape file, but his length is 1000, not 800 (in Hexdecimal 1000 is the double of 800)
I think my RAW file use each octet (00 or FF) for one pixel, and need to be convert to be a shape file ( transform the "00 FF FF 00" to "0F F0").
Exemple :

RAW File looks :

FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF
FF FF FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF FF FF

Must convert to Shape :

FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF F0 00 00 00 00 0F FF

EDIT :

I've tryed to convert my grayscale raw file to an indexed (16 colors).
Now all my octets begin by a 0, must to erase each ones...

EDIT :

Forget all of this shit, not the good format...

my BadgeData.dat file is too large to dump with exdata
so it tells me, any ideas?

you could try this one: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/183608682/extdata_dump.zip
I think you have an old version of extdata dump.

I had some error due to the transfert with ftBrony.
Now, I copy my files directly with my SDcard reader from my computer.

How looks the other badge? Try to reload others ( store it in the badge menu and put it in the Home menu )
Did you do a backup of your badgedata?

Did someone find another "shadow" for the first badge? Even if I modified the shadow, the display on a folder is still the same as the original badge (But well, I still haven't managed to make the shadow to work properly...)

Spoiler: Pics

with extadata dump it does not dump badgedata.dat it does only dump badgedatamng.dat

 

[TUK_Pyroman]

You must write the good code in the config.txt

; dump BadgeData
DUMP "000014D1:/BadgeData.dat" "BadgeData.dat"

; replace the BadgeData
RESTORE "BadgeData.dat" "000014D1:/BadgeData.dat"

And chose the second optioon in Extdata_dump

That still doesn't work, it says "Copying Failed!" for the BadgeData.dat
