Hacking WiiFlow Lite Wait Animations !!! (r1148 or higher)

[kaisersozeh]

IF YOU FIND A .gif YOU LIKE but can't get to work - not just spacepimp's stuff! - post it here and I'll look at it.

WiiFlow Lite r1148 can open a folder of images to use as a boot animation (Thanks Fledge!)

r1148 - http://www.mediafire.com/file/cngdpqd920udo6d/boot.dol
The largest image size I have been able to achieve so far is 200x100, with up to 10 images used for frames of animation.

The meta.xml args work like this:
In your apps/wiiflow_lite folder create a subfolder named wait_imgs and put all your wait images in it.
then open meta.xml in a editor (notepad++ or whatever you like) and add these lines before the </app> line:

<arguments>
<arg>waitdir=sd:/apps/wiiflow_lite/wait_imgs</arg>
<arg>waitloop</arg>
</arguments>

only add <arg>waitloop</arg> if you want the images to play and repeat rather than forward and backward.
this line <arg>waitdir=sd:/apps/wiiflow_lite/wait_imgs</arg> is for setting the full path to the images folder. so if you have them on usb then change sd: to usb:. or maybe you want to put the folder somewhere else that's fine. just be sure this is set the full path of the folder containing the images and don't add a '/' on the end.

this works if you launch via the forwarder or HBC 1.07 or greater. im not sure if the priiloader dol works.
may add an arg for wait delay if its really needed.
also the black screen on startup may be a bit longer do to having to load the images from the folder.

If theres any delay difference its only like a half a second to maybe a second. very minimal. and hardly noticeable.

Here's a couple of animations I've prepared for the format - taken largely from gbatemp, particularly @spacepimp's work - and somethings spliced and edited from a google search!
Clicking on the image in the download page will open a slightly lower quality .gif of the animation

Quake - This one, however, is all my own work - for an upcoming WiiFlow plugin

2-Speed - Dark and low resolution - an 8 frame sampled from a 25 frame animation I'm working on for Einstein's Mod

Getting this to loop made my brain hurt

LARGEST - CrossFade - surprisingly beautiful -made to hold many tones and colours at the same time -

Coverscan - spacepimp's original had too many frames so I had to edit this to work - but it's cheeky - it's a "pixelart" coverflow

Coverscan3 - Another version

Simple Cursor - I prettied it up - a bit - very very small

Donut - 30 frame converted to 10

Hex - I think from a carbonik theme?

SMALLEST - Juggling WiiFlow - I just like the animation -

Redpoint - I could not work out how to make this any other colour - advice welcome

Enjoy!

Can someone help me find the alternate wait anitmations of the two hands touching and one with hand holding a flame. I thought for sure they came with wiiflow_lite but I cannot find them anywhere and I totally forgot where I got them from.
