Item Editing Tools - early alpha (USB Gecko or gamesave)

[DDD]

1) Export the textures with Item tool.
2) Open the pallette with paint.
3) Recolour it using the fill tool with any colour you desire.
4) Import back into item tool.
5)export it again and the textures should all have the colours in the pallette.

so i dont do anything with for e.g. link_cap and link_hair? i only should change the palettes?
sorry if i'm like asking too much

re: problems Installing TESTTOWN.DAT

There is nothing special about TESTTOWN.DAT. It is a regular RVFOREST.DAT gamesave. If you can install files changed using any of the other tools (ACToolkit, NPC_Tool, PattView), then you should be able to install TESTTOWN. Gamesave editing basics.
I haven't installed 4.0, so I don't know if that is the cause. If it is broken, it will be broken for everything.
NOTE: also be sure the \WIISAVES\RUUE folder has 5 files in it (not only the RVFOREST.DAT]

Gah!

I found the problem...
I turned off Ocarina and it worked fine xD...

I hope you mean Gecko OS and not the old buggy Ocarina.

Yeah, Gecko OS...
But the cheat code part of Gecko OS is called "Ocarina" (at least it it for me)...

"alpha 2" now available.
http://www.aibohack.com/wii/itemtool.htm, http://www.aibohack.com/wii/ItemTools_alpha2.zip

Bug fixes for "RUUP" owners (using proper address for WiiRd), ITEM_Tool timestamp problem fixed, LMT more flexible for texture mapping.
IMPORTANT: For EU "RUUP" users with WiiRD, you need to set the RUUP option in the "Finalize Options"

Added additional tutorials. If you've done the first ones, please continue from Tutorial #3.5. That and #5 will hopefully give you enough background to start attacking the 2000+ items in the game (described in #7). If you come up with something cool, please try to convert it to an 'axe' or something similar.

Hats are still broken for some reason.

Sometimes when I export data from certain items (Master Sword, Kart, Basic beds, etc.) ITEM_Tool reports "No color palette - using fake 16 color palette"...
Am I doing something wrong, or is this normal for some items...?

Yes this is normal. The coloring/texturing logic used by the game is not well understood so this is a lame placeholder (mostly for LMT so you can move things around, not recolor them). There are other limitations in what the tools understand (eg: only 16 color textures). If you examine the 2000+ built in items with ITEM_Tool and LMT you will find many of them are more complicated to edit.

When will this be able to be done for Non-USB Gecko users?
