NPC_Tool - Animal Villager Customization

[Omni]

For those of you having trouble using your downloaded characters, I think I may have a tip. You import the textures and it's saying nothing's changed, correct? Change something. Go into the NPC folder and open one of the eyes bitmaps with Windows paint. Press cntrl + Pg dwn three times to magnify your view. In the very top two lines of pixels, add a single dot of whatever color. this part doesn't seem to show up on the maps that I've used, so it doesn't really matter. save and import the textures, and it should notice that something has changed. Now your NPC should load up just fine. If you load up and he's got a dot on his head somewhere, just edit the dot out later. the npc is now recognized, so it's all good.

Here's a Donkey Kong I made. Not sure how to upload it though...

To upload it make it a ZIP file (right click>send to>ZIP file) and press manage attachments in "additional options" when making a post.

I've tried to use the most recent version of the NPC_tool (4b), and I edited my villagers.. But when I get to the original screen (the one that says Edit NPCs, Export Textures, Save and Exit, etc), the villagers on the scroll-down list are still the same. I also noticed that it took only a second or two for the edited save file to be installed into my Wii.

Is there any way to fix this? I'd really like to change my neighbors.

the importing back to your Wii will always be fast (at least it always has for me).

You won't notice any changes in the list until you save and exit then open the program again.

I was just thinking that these qualities could be problems, because when I go into my town, all of my neighbors are still the same too. :\

You know when you are putting your neighbors in? And you have a list of neighbors to choose from, are they all from AC:CF or are there some from AC:WW and AC:GC? I am just wondering because there is a big list of neighbors to choose from

I know it's not NPC characters, but can the same methods be used to extract and edit the ground patterns? Are the grasses and snows represented by a single bmp that is altered for wear, or are there 255 versions of each one?

> ...you have a list of neighbors to choose from, are they all from AC:CF or are there some from AC:WW and AC:GC?
The neighbors are all from the game (AC:CF). Nintendo decided which ones to include (taking some from the older games). Apparently they missed a few, but with some editing you should be able to re-create them.

> ...but can the same methods be used to extract and edit the ground patterns?
Yes, and no. Possible, but not sharable.
The graphics editing steps can be done on other parts of the game, and changed with a WiiRD or cheat code. However the results will only be visible in your town. This applies to other changes to the way the game works. What you see may be cool, but only you see it.

Most of the gamesave tools on this website are for changing the game in ways that impact the normal game, and work perfectly over WiFi (ie. town editing, pattern editing, NPC editing, or DLC installation). What you see is what your friends see when they visit your town.
