You’ll need Wii.cs Tools for this. Use U8Mii or UltimateU8 (included with Wii.cs) to extract the contents of ‘openingTitle.arc’ (NTSC/PAL). Use TplMii to convert the TPL image extracted to PNG. Modify the new PNG file, then convert it back to TPL with TplMii. Now pack it with U8Mii/UltimateU8.
VampireLordAlucard mentions on the Retro Remix forum how TPL image quality affects game loading, after some people were having problems, and recommends setting the quality to “low” to avoid problems. View the original message here
If using TplMii.exe to convert it back, there is an option of high, moderate, or low quality. Setting it to high quality doubles the filesize. Setting it to medium makes it the same filesize are the original, but the transparancies are messed up. Setting it to low quality should get the graphic to look fine, and be the same filesize as the original.
Put your newly-modified ‘openingTitle.arc’ file into your Riivolution load folder. You can’t replace this image with SZS Modifier, if you try the game will freeze when you attempt to load your modded logo.
u cant use szs modifier but u can use
wii scrubber 1.4 and not only that its better to use ultimateu8mii then just u8mii works to repack anything for iso packing trust me tested it all myself one by one the only thing with wii scrubbing u need to be careful how many time u modify a file or boom there goes ur iso so i would suggest using riivolution as beta testing program til ready for port ill send in a full tutorial when i write it all down for my forum btw this is ViperX420 of the Super Mario Bros SE team and if u guys need another contributor for files outta the ass and i mean outta the ass i can customize just about anything u need so post on my forums at wiiso.com if interested
after i pack the modified logo with tplmii i am left with bin file.What do i do with it, i thought i need it to be an arc file?
Maybe use u8mii
Any way to do this with the retail disc
Yea, download the files, mod them, then apply them with riivolution. Download page: http://www.mario-mods.com/2010/06/nsmb-objects.html I think you want 'game elements' (click the 'individual files' link).
I hope you don't mind if I use the download links in my tutorial oon YouTube.
Yea, go ahead
does anyone have any idea how to make a good quality custom title
is it possible to use a previously made logo in the logo? because i cant edit it.
i man that can you make it bigger?
If you make the logo bigger, the file size of the ARC file will increase. Basically, when editing the logo, you have to maintain the size dimensions that it uses.
Also, since the logo is an RGB5A3 texture, you have to keep the texture format as that.
Now, I would think that it would be possible to use a hex editor to modify the logo, seeing as I was able to do that with Mario Kart Wii's TPLs.
