Talk:Wii Graphics Code

I'm terrible with binary. Is it written backwards to form the correct bytes? I can only get transparency active if the last bit is 1 instead of the first (command 0x61, subcommand 0x41). On another note, setting the value to 00|03|21 in hex gives interesting results by making the whole polygon see through. Look at this: http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q364/MikeYoshi/RMCJ01-15.png --Guilmon35249vr 06:40, 18 December 2011 (CET)

Thanks amazing "Snivy"! (Can I still call you that? :/) Please upload that Yoshi Hack you did, I've also got to try this myself! Can you also explain more exactly what you did to achive this transparency? Again, Please upload it!

I changed the value in the MDL0 file to tell the Wii to make the model semitransparent, ignoring the alpha values in the texture. Normally, it ignored alpha values, but had the model fully visible. Look at command 0x61 and address 0x41 in that table. That's what I changed.

Does this work in all MDL0 Models? This could be the perfect effect for a Jellatin Themed course.

It does seem to work with all models, and you can only affect specific polygons if you want. It could be used to make windows transparent on CTs, even.

I wonder if this might solve the HP effect (enable alpha, set it to 0% transparent so everything depends on the texture), I don't notice any HP effect in your screen, I assume the screen is taken on the wii. At least opacity is possible in this way, which is great.

Any way to make this easier to understand, many of the terms used here are like Chinese for me.

The screen was taken in Dolphin, and it may not solve the HP effect. Yoshi does a HP effect on the windshield of the bike, and on the handlebars (but only at certain angles, there are times when the handlebars show through fine). This might be because his original model has no alpha, so forcing it causes problems. On models that have alpha to start with, I don't see problems (the wheels look fine, for the most part). You can download the finished transparent Yoshi here. Take a look at the changes I made to the graphics code in the models.
