how to open/convert .tpl files

[blackcipher]

I am trying to see if I can get harvest moon a wonderful life/another wonderful life text issues fixed. To do so I first need to check on the font.tpl thats in the image itself. To make sure the file is not just being corrupted during reading.

This could happen if it was not correctly ripped or in the event that the file had copy protection on it. If thats the case then we may need to rebuild the font file and inject back into the image.

Copy protection would however explain if the file is corrupt why everyones rip is the same in that area.

I figured I would ask what programs to use here first before I go off trying to find the wares the hard way.

Thanks.

Nah, the WII/GC games doesn't have that tipe to protection ( to specific files ) http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_Security#Game_discs

Try safe texture cache ( safe , normal and fast )

Thanks. I am new to the dolphin/gc/wii/emu scene

I have tried safe texture in all 3 modes the text remains corrupted for me at least. I have actually found a few places listing programs to view/convert .tpl content. However alas I can never find a working link to them. I guess I am just gonna have to grab a torrent of the Gamcube SDK.

Anyways I was just wanting to get into the file to see if the file looks all messed up like that or not.

EDIT: I finally found some tools. I have not used them yet but I did finally land on some working links.

TPL Editor 2.0 - (Loads tpls of any type and any number of textures. Loads most image files and can convert back and forth. Can also load wte, banner.bin and 1.app tpl variants.)

You may need to download COMDLG32.OCX and place it in the Editor's folder. The way it works is simple. Load tpl_edit_fe.exe select the tpl file you want to load. Click the part of the TPL you want to work with and then on second entry click the ... and save the file in a workable bmp format. As for getting that file back into the TPL and the TPL back into the GCM/ISO I am lost. Anyways it works. Found what I was lookin for.

Oh and there is nothing wrong with font.tpl file. Everything is very crisp. So my thoughts of corrupt file are out but who knows.

Hello there guys!

I've got the same problem too: I can extract all of the files from a .tpl file, but I can't put them back in!

Do any of you know a solution for this? It would be nice
