Hacking WADder Tools

[computerboy]

Good luck on testing that WAD of yours

 

[kitt050383]

I've been testing it since his first release not one problem....
-kitt050383

right now the sound just does not get replaced it's being worked on...

I am about to do some testing with this beta...wish me luck!?! Who's going to test my channel??? Just kidding! Hehehe... Anyways... thanks for giving me the chance (I think!?) Hehe... anyways give me a few and I will let you know how it is doing..

On another note... what are the system requirements for banner edit tools anyways?? I really didn't think it was that much of haggle on the resources?? Maybe I will throw the task manager up to see what it does...

No real resource requirements, all of my development was/is done in a virtual machine on a hackintosh, so it can't be that bad.

Only one sound bug to be fixed until release.

OK this is weird. no sound no matter what i do.

can anyone tell me what the correct way is to add sound (do you have to do anything to the wav besides signing it and calling it sound.bin)?

Clip from guide....

Editing the sound.bin for Custom Sounds at Channel Entrance (NEW!)

1. Find the sound that you want, all audio files are supported.

2. Open audacity.exe, press ctl+o and load your sound file.

3. Cut out a sound portion that is just under 10 seconds long.

4. Click "file" and select "Export as WAV..." name the file anything and save it to the "tools" folder. Close Audacity.

5. Right click the .WAV you just created and rename it to "sound.bin". Make sure the extension changed and not just the file name.

6. Open MD5Sig.exe and point it towards the sound.bin you created.

7. Repack the 00000000.app with the new sound.bin. (You must use the u8packer included in the new pack of tools.)

8. Install with wad manager.

I don't think he did that's what i think he meant by signing it....

Nope, I am using md5sig.exe AND am using the NEW u8 packer (i was using the old one but it didn't work right)

The Sounds need to be 16 Bit PCM or the Wii will not play it.

 

[icefireicefire]

oh. ill see if i can get it to autmagically convert.

 

[Mrkinator]

I'm downloading right now. Can't wait!

I'll start on some images for the GUI.

FTPii for Wii channel made with the new tools.. still has tetris channel sound but everything else works great!

Tested by self.

You should see this thing go once you hit -Create WAD!-

Looks like a ghost speedily running all the banner editing tools for ya...

I like it!

@Wiisel... The sound still doesn't work... yet, maybe what Gundalf threw at him should work. So far a great job!

 

[Mrkinator]

Wait, the one in the first post is the first release right?

Sorry, I wasn't really keeping track of this thread, I went to a movie last night

 

[SpaceJump]

Can't wait for this tool!

@IronMask
Well doing the Sound.bin by yourself is pretty easy.
Try this Guide:

@Mrk... no I don't think it is anymore...I am sure if you PM the wizard he can zap you a link with what he has as of now.

@Gundalf... so I guess I can as of now.. use the sound tutorial and change the sound by unpacking base.wad adding the new sound by audacity and md5sig.exe repacking it...renaming it back to base.wad and then using his tools for the rest? Still a few steps with the sound part...yet saves a shitload of time... so we can focus more on images...

Great!... if what I said will work?

 

[SpaceJump]

So how long does the process of creating the wad take currently?

 

[IronMask]

about 2 minutes if you already have the images made and right size or done even alot faster...like 1 minute or so.

 

[icefireicefire]

The images are auto-resized (so no bricks that way!)
