NPC_Tool - Animal Villager Customization

OT:
> I was wondering on http://aibohack.com/wii/recess.htm did you just relink files in the ISO
Even easier. Replace the sprintf string "/Npc/Special/Model/%d.brres" with "/Npc/Special/Model/##.brres", where ## is hard coded number. In RAM of running program (not a GAMESAVE hack).
Easy to do with WiiRD with 'poke'. 'hetoan2' on another BBS turned it into a 'code': http://wiird.l0nk.org/forum/index.ph...22171#msg22171
(see post for trimmed down list, there are "44" special characters with unique models, only a few appear to come close to the NPC models)

Awesome, any testing with this and wifi?

Most of the other 3D model tricks don't work over WiFi (did something similar for AC:WW http://www.aibohack.com/nds/ac_cats.htm )
If someone visits your hacked town over WiFi, they see the standard graphics, from their game disc (and their country scheme). Good for taking screen shots and bragging, not much else.
BTW: the view of your town is country specific. For example if a Japanese user visits your English town, they will see everything in Japanese. The signposts will be Japanese, the NPCs will talk Japanese, and even the name of Nook's store will be Japanese (the game disc has country-specific graphics for this).

The exception is the NPCs. That's the big change in AC:CF. Since the NPC textures (and names) are stored in the GAMESAVE, they must be transferred over WiFi to a visitor's Wii when they connect to your town. Visitors see what you see.

Wait, so modified NPCs in this game will go to another person's town with the changed settings? If so, that's cool . I'm also wondering, if you changed an NPC for your save file, is that change permanent? What I mean is, I changed Pierce's texture and then he moves out. When I get another Pierce, will he keep the changed settings or will he have his original?

Ya a bunch of people are trying to get my Demon (that is my Mott edit) to move to there town lol. Really loving the editor .

That's so cool . If changes aren't permanent like the example in my other post, I'm gonna turn everyone in my town into custom NPCs.
