Maybe there is a way to simulate the Wi-Fi Connection just to establish the connection, if that is possible, we could have a working LAN mode.

The PAL version of this file compared with the NTSC one above only differs on two lines:

PAL                    OFF   ->   PAL                    ON
REGION                 0     ->   REGION                  1

Test results:

DEBUG_CHEAT

enables a cheat menu, which can be opened by pressing + and -

DEBUG_MULTIPLAYER

enables an extra multiplayer mode with the following content:

Connect to Anybody // Connects to WFC and then a game via internet on a test map (maybe level 70_00 NetzMultiplayerTest?), but when I played with two Wiis (to check if there is a working LAN mode) I just had to connect via internet but when the connection was established, I disconnected (internet) and we could play a few minutes (as before but without internet) before there was a lost connection error, so the Wiis were either connected directly or via my WLAN router (but NOT via internet)

Maybe there is a way to simulate the Wi-Fi Connection just to establish the connection, if that is possible, we could have a working LAN mode.

Fake session // If you start match, you get an error (lost connection) and you are in the main menu

Connect to LAN (dont use) // does not work

Friends //

Test Profanty //

Connect Stress Test //


Num Players // you can choose player number from 2 to 16

Search on channel // you can choose a channel from 0 to 35

So far I noticed no difference between DWC_RELEASE_AUTHENTICATION on or off (both tested and no difference).

levels.txt

Every line of this file is built like the following example:

 03_10	edfedermeyer	Level3_10	Tue May 26 15:03:49	-1560281088	-1560281088 

There is a .gcm/.gcs file named as the first number, e.g. 03_10.gcs,

Ed Federmeyer is the lead programmer,

Level3_10 is the description of the level which is in the .gcs, too.

The rest is unknown (maybe the last changed date, but -1560281088 ???).


.gcm/.gcs files

The .gcm and .gcs files contain much data (please add what exactly), but nobody was able to unpack them so far.

They begin (opened with text editor) with BGIB ... "level name" or <strat wad> ... edfedermeyer ... stuff like "-wii -quiet -disableerrors -nodefaultmaplights -noautomaticshadowreceivers -maxmodelsize 10.0 -maxedgelength 25.0" ...


Other things found:

RIFF headers

decompression

[weconduit 0.0] decompresses two compressed segments. dump01.bin is a map of pieces in dump00.bin.

.bik movies

This movies can be converted with RAD Video Tools.


.tpl files

This files contain just a few graphics, they can be converted with tplcnv.exe (a tool for GameCube textures) into .dds format, which can be read and edited by Gimp (with dds plugin), ... .


saveicons.tpl:

4 icons (maybe for saving)

savebanner.tpl:

1 banner (maybe for saving)

homeBtnicon.tpl:

1 icon showing a crossed out homebutton

.arc files

They start with "55 AA 38 2D" (in hex editor) and can be unpacked with U8 tools (e.g. here: http://www.shedevr.org.ru/zelda64rus/tools/U8_tools(eng).zip).

These archives contain files with the following file formats:

.brlan

.brlyt

.brfnt

.tpl // can be converted with TPL Editor 2.0 http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=100556

.midi // sound

.pcm

.wt

.bwav

Aims

Unpack the .gcm and .gcs files (this is the base for nearly everything else like changing sound and graphics)

Look for a working LAN mode
