Tools probably CORRECTLY (aka right packers and such) done, just testing now.....

BTW, this hasn't even bricked my (starfallen) wii even once in the dev process

Nice man, all in 1=win! Channel making is good, but it does take awhile, so nice job

Need any done? Graphics for a GUI maybe?
Click to expand...
Already has a GUI

. BUT, if you made some graphics for a nice good looking GUI, i would adapt it to use it (but you probably want to see what it looks like right now first).

Release in either 30 minutes or 30 hours, depending on whether I have time before I leave.

Cool, Once I get my hands on it and use it like 1000, I'll get started!

j/k
 
The file browse dialog specifies JPG only, can this be changed or are JPGs only compatible with banners?
 
About the sound.bin...

Its recommended that its a max of 10 seconds, though it will be able to play stuff that is longer than that.

If the program only allows 10 seconds, and you want something far greater than that, then you will have to edit that yourself.

What we need to know is if we will have the ability to specify the starting sound, and then the looping sound because OrangeChicken is supposedly releasing the tools necessary to do so.
 
this rocks man! but one question, what should i make my unique title id? because i heard if i make it the same as another channel it'll overwrite the other file, is there a sure way i can make it something that the other channels arent?
 
ok, that makes sense, also, this is probably a really stupid question, but i tried using Visual Boy Advance GX to turn it into a wad, and for sum reason it gave me a tetris game...im assuming that because this is a pre-beta test thing you used that as an example, but still is this normal?
 
I will add any tools that are released. For now, it just plays the WAV you give it (you need to convert yourself). If anyone knows of a converter for audio files in the command line just tell me.

Currently, it is hard-coded for JPGs. it would take lots more coding to do any other format (though switching completely would be easy). It does let you change the Icon and the Logo.

About Title IDs: These remind me of Creator IDs on PalmOS, pretty much the same thing. Just use this format and everyone should be fine: Name the wad NAME_OF_APP-TITLE_ID.wad so you can see the Title ID easy.

Release is tomorrow most likely if I get time to package it up with a nice installer

and fix the two remaining bugs.

Current bugs:
- Second Icon image is not used in conversion (should be just a simple code fix)
- Sound is not working (keeps original Tetris Channel sound). Also should be a simple fix.

@admiralsfan: The test version does not work well and does not change banners.
 
This tool is definately going to kick ass on the regular wads...Saves me from trying to remember anadir, Leer,Guardar, Abir, and all those other foreign words.. That wouldn't be so bad if I could read it like it was native... but it definately slows me down making sure I didn't get confused with the translations...

I am sure this will work great with some of the other stuff that #oRANGE CHICKEN has been working on... Maybe you need to get with Gundalf and see if he wants to team up with you to possible help out on those more animated channels... Just a thought though...

ok thanks again, sorry i'm pretty much a noob and this is all extremely helpful, keep up the good work
 
If you want this to be released faster

, you can PM me and test for me (most likely not going to cause a brick as I or my tester have not had a single banner-brick, but I can't be sure....better have starfall

)

Edit: Uploaded and sent to testers. Lets see how it works
