I'm not sure. At first I thought maybe Deflicker (within the in-game options), but it doesn't seem to be. Did you get the difference in the screenshots above by toggling a Dolphin graphics setting?

Yep, its under Graphics>Enhancements for me, along with a setting to force it on for every texture, which seemed to imply a potential way to disable it per-texture

Sorry, I don't know of a flag of some kind that might do that. My guess is that it's post-processing specific to Dolphin. Also, I tried changing a few different settings in Dolphin's Graphics settings, but couldn't achieve the difference you had in the screenshots. I'm not sure what you were changing, but I tried Anti-Aliasing, Anisotropic Filtering, and a few others.

If you still want to experiment, there are flags on Joints, Materials, and Texture structs, which you could try changing in DTW's Structural Analysis tab. Once you've loaded a stage file, you can right-click on a texture and go to 'Show in Structural Analysis tab' to find the relavant structures.

I have this same issue. No instances of Dolphin running. Is there a fix?
What version of the program are you using? What exactly were you doing? Was it consistent (id it still happen after closing the program and trying again)? If you're not using the latest, can you try the process on the latest version (6.1.2)? Are there any special characters in the disc's file path?

Any chance more color slots will be supported to convert textures to?
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Are you referring to the new color slots for costumes in m-ex?

Yeah those, but if there's another way to do it already I just don't know yet. Thanks. :)

I'm using 6.1.2. I was replacing the neutral Fox skin, and trying to select "save" but I kept getting that error message. I restarted the program, ran as administrator, and restarted my computer to make sure Dolphin wasn't running. No special characters in the file path. I ended up selecting "save as" and creating a new ISO, and that worked. Idk if that's what you're supposed to do, but the video I watched just said to select "save".

Ah, yeah. Most likely. But it's not high on my todo list atm, in lieu of some other projects I have (one of which might include a better costume-conversion solution), unless I start getting a lot more requests for this feature in DTW.

having trouble using this skin https://ssbmtextures.com/characters/james-mccloud-fox/ I put it through DAT texture wizard and save it but when i try using neutral fox (the replaced skin) it crashes. any help would sick
That download comes with two files; one for neutral Fox (the "CONKER copy"), and one for green Fox; are you sure you imported the right one? If you didn't, DTW should have given you a warning during the import. I just tried replacing the neutral Fox costume with the CONKER copy file, and it worked. Does the crash happen on console, or emulation? If you're on emulation and you used the right file, I'm not sure what's wrong, and you might want to try working with a new disc, as it sounds like it might be a more serious issue with your disc.

Strange. I just tried it, using v6.1.2 to replace the neutral Fox skin, and it worked fine with the "Save" option. Can you check if there are any error messages in a file called "Error Log.txt"? (It may be in the directory with the DTW executable, or in the directory with the disc, if you used drag-and-drop to open it.) What OS are you using? Was the new Fox file much larger than the original (do you have a link to it?); did DTW attemp to rebuild the disc?

Windows 10. It wasn't a much larger file, and I've confirmed that it works. Getting them all from ssbmtextures.com. DTW did not attempt to rebuild the disc.

I only get the error when I try to save changes to the vanilla melee iso, which isn't on my C: drive. I was able to save the new custom melee iso to my C: drive, and I'm able to use the "save" option on isos when they're on that drive. Maybe my OS doesn't think it has full permissions for that secondary drive.

Yeah. .lat and .rat files are just .dat files with a renamed file extension, since each file in the disc must have a unique name. As long as you're replacing the appropriate color slot, or converting the costume with the CCC tab, they should work fine with Slippi.

I have a problem with the program, when i import a texture it just does not do anything.

Sure, but I'll need a lot more details.

What version of the program are you using? What texture are you trying to replace (in which file, and which texture in the file)? Can you post a copy of the texture you tried to import? Can you give the exact steps you took?

There may be a file called "Error Log.txt" in the same folder as the program; if that's there, is there anything in it?

The program probably doesn't have write-access to the location it's at. Are you running it from a location on your C: drive? You might need to give it permissions to write to that location.

Hello, I have tried multiple version of DTW, everytime nothing happens when I try to import an ISO (either by draging it or opening it manually), I have an Error log file with this :

Hi, welcome to Smashboards!

I think most likely there is a strange character in the filepath of the disc. Try checking that; you could see if changing it to something with only ASCII characters works. Let me know if that was the issue and what character it was. I need to add a check in the program for those kinds of special characters, so it can properly decode it, or at least let people know what the problem is.

I'm new here (I just joined today), and i have a question. How do i replace CSPs in Dat Wizard?
First, you would open your disc in DTW. Then go to the file you want to edit in the Disc File Tree, which would be the MnSlChr.usd file (should say Character Select Screen in the description). Double-click on it or click on it and select "Browse Textures", and the textures in that file should appear in the DAT Texture Tree tab. Then you just need to find and select the texture you want to replace, and drag-and-drop your new texture onto the program.

Hi, thank you very much for the quick answer and help !

You are right about the filepath it seems, I just moved everything to another drive and it works perfectly fine. I think the character which caused the issue is this one : "é" which is in my real name, and therefore it was showing in the filepath (C:\Users\Sébastien\Desktop\FM-Slippi\Super Smash Bros. Melee).

I changed it to this for it to work : F:\FM Slippi\Super Smash Bros. Melee

I hope that helps you, let me know !

Introducing DAT Texture Wizard, a program designed to encompass, simplify, and speed-up the entire Melee texture hacking process. It allows you to view, extract, and import textures from and to any file in the game! It also allows you to export/import/add/remove files or folders from your disc, or rebuild it. You can even import files larger than the originals, and perform many other disc operations not available in GCRebuilder. Advanced structural analysis of most files is also available.

- ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - Download Links - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ -
v6.1.2 (64-bit):
GitHub Release | MediaFire Mirror
- ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ - ~ -


If you feel the urge to give back:
Or you can follow me on Patreon.



Note: My PNG to-from TPL batch script also comes in the download with DTW (this script uses wimgt for image conversions, so it may produce slightly different results during conversion than DTW). You may or may not need this anymore, but basically it's a powerful, independant TPL texture converter, which utilizes drag-and-drop, so you don't even need to open a cmd window. If you'd like to know more about it you can look in the 'Old post content' below.

Note 2: The "Manual Placements" tab is basically just incorporation of earlier versions of this program (still useful in a few cases). Explanation on its usage can be found in the mostly-but-not-entirely-outdated guide, How to Hack Any Texture. Or, the "User Guide & Info.txt" file from DTW v2.x.

I've written my own codec for converting most TPL formats to and from PNG. If you'd like to use this in your own projects, shoot me a PM and I'll share the source code.


Thanks go out to those who led to the golden YaGCD, and all others who have researched, discovered, and documented their findings and reverse engineering.

I also want to give a special shout-out and thanks to @Achilles1515, @Michael Ashby, and @spamitburns for their support. You guys are awesome. :)




Feedback is appreciated (as well as any bug reports). There are still a LOT of features that could be added. I'll add new functionality based on what you guys would like to see as well as how long it would take to add. Even if you see that someone else is asking for functionality that you'd like, feel free to post anyway so that I know how much demand there is for it.

That's all for now. Enjoy! ^_^

I need more information before I can help.

What download or program version are you trying to run?
What operating system are you using? 64 or 32 bit?
Does any kind of program window open at all?
You could try deleting the settings.ini file, if it's present. And make sure that the program is in a place where it has write access.

Windows 10?
Are you trying to run one of the compiled executables, or the downloaded github repo? (In other words, is what you're running a .exe or .bat/.py?)
And this might be a silly question, but I assume you unzipped it?

If it's one of the executable downloads, then that's really weird. Sorry, but I'm not sure what might cause that. Maybe try copying the program's folder to your desktop or another location and try running it there.

Depends on what you're trying to do. If you just need to export/import files, you can use GCR. Though if you're importing files larger than the original ones already in the disc, you'll need to go through extra steps. Basically, you would need to extract the files from the disc using GCR, replace the files you need to in Windows, and then rebuild the disc using GCR.

If you're trying to replace textures, you can try HSDRaw. Though it's not as intuitive and there aren't really any guides on how to use the program, unfortunately. If you want, you could join The Melee Workshop Discord and ask around there for help with it.

Hey, sorry, I would've given you a guide before, but I didn't have any more time when I was responding. Anyway:

1) Open GCR (gcr_v1.0.exe)
2) Go to Image -> Open at the top, and open your disc image in the program
3) Right-click on "root" in the file/folder list on the right, click "Export", and choose a place to save the disc's files
4) Open the folder where you saved the disc files, and replace the existing file(s) with your new ones
5) Go to Image -> Close in the menus
6) Go to Root -> Open
7) Select the "root" folder you extracted earlier. Information should populate on the GCR screen
8) Hit Root -> Save. This will be the name and location of your ISO file. Seemingly nothing happens after selecting SAVE
9) Hit Root -> Rebuild. Your ISO will start being built and will be at the destination location you chose when finished

This was addressed right after that post. Did you try the suggestion there?

I'm getting a "The rebuilt disc was saved as a back-up" pop up when I try to save changes, does anybody have any idea what this is or how to work around it? PM would be cool so I can provide screenshots.

reason why they did that so if you put the wrong texture file it will have a backup and you cant work around it (not sure)

When I try and save changes made by going to File > Save, my changes don't save. I still have the "File Replaced. Awaiting Save" text in the top corner. Same thing happens if I try renaming the disc and saving as something else. I'm probably missing something silly, is there anything I might be overlooking? I don't get an error popup or anything, nothing in the error log either. I'm importing .hps files if that helps but I'm getting the issue regardless of what kind of change I'm making

It means that the new, saved disc is being saved as a copy. That way, if you messed something up or there was an error with the program, you'll still have the original disc. You can turn this feature off in the settings:

If you turn the feature off, the original disc will be modified or overwritten when you save.

When I try and save changes made by going to File > Save, my changes don't save. I still have the "File Replaced. Awaiting Save" text in the top corner. Same thing happens if I try renaming the disc and saving as something else. I'm probably missing something silly, is there anything I might be overlooking? I don't get an error popup or anything, nothing in the error log either. I'm importing .hps files if that helps but I'm getting the issue regardless of what kind of change I'm making
Try using the latest version of the program (v6.1.2). And make sure there aren't any strange characters in your file paths. If you're already using the latest version, can you go into more detail about the steps you're taking?

Thx for the reply. Was using 6.1.2, I still get the same issue even w/ a completely fresh install not touching any settings. Tried just exporting Fox's Orange Skin to test if I could import it over a .lat of the same color in 20XX and no dice. When I go to File -> Save Disc As and hit save in file explorer nothing happens. Disc size doesn't change or anything either. I wonder what it could be, same issue when I went back and tried older versions.

Must be a pc setting on my end, maybe have to run as administrator or something. I'll update if I can get a fix

Hello, DRGN DRGN , I'm working on a game project which needs to convert back and forth between the TPL CMPR format and PNG. Could you PM me a link to the codec source code for DAT Texture Wizard? I will gladly mention you in the project credits and source code if I can successfully integrate the necessary image conversion code into the project.

Best Regards,
Daedalus

When i try to import a file i keep getting unable to save or import into the ISO make sure that it`s not being used by another program like Dolphin. But i don`t have dolphin on my pc & the only other program i have open is Chrome. I tried the avoiding rebuilding disc option & that didn`t work so i don`t know what`s going on. Any help will be appreciated.

Got an update to support m-ex discs (and m-ex root folders)!

I didn't know until recently that DTW hasn't been opening m-ex discs. I believe UnclePunch mentioned it to me about a year ago, and I fixed it and merged the changes then, but apparently, I never compiled and uploaded a new release!

Changes in v6.1.3:
  • Added support for loading m-ex discs and root folders
  • Building from Root is no longer required to build/rebuild a disc of standard size *
  • GrGd.dat stage description changed from Kongo Jungle to Jungle Japes (oops!)
  • Added a warning message in case the "Error Log.txt" file can't be created

* Previously, in order to build a disc to the default/standard GC disc size of ~1.36 GB, you would need to be building from a root folder with the "paddingBetweenFiles" set to "auto". Now you just need paddingBetweenFiles set to "auto" (only applicable in cases of rebuilding the disc).

When i try to import a file i keep getting unable to save or import into the ISO make sure that it`s not being used by another program like Dolphin. But i don`t have dolphin on my pc & the only other program i have open is Chrome. I tried the avoiding rebuilding disc option & that didn`t work so i don`t know what`s going on.

Did you ever figure out this issue? It sounds to me like the program might not have write access to the file or save directory.

Hello there,
I'm trying to edit a .ISO file to change the banner on Dolphin Emulator, but when either importing the file directly or dragging and dropping it into the program, nothing happens. Nothing at all appears, or pops up. I'm using version 6.1.3. Do you know what I could do to fix this? All ISOs run fine in Dolphin.

This is my Error Log, though I don't know if this error is directly related to it failing to open the ISO.
To my knowledge, the file paths should all be valid.
