Mii Editor Blog

I added a new page which will show just a Mii character without any of the Mii Editor interface. This uses the same URL format as the URL provided by the editor (hexadecimal URL explained earlier) but does so through an alternate page, view.php. Example:

http://www.miieditor.com/view.php?mii=45e20052...

This can be used to provide a larger preview of your Mii (as this page scales with the browser). Additionally, I would like to eventually be able to provide a SWF that anyone can download and use with their own pages to show off their Mii. This, however, I won't provide until character rendering is more complete.

So my trip to Seattle was canceled. This means I might get more done this week than I thought.

Speaking of which, I managed to add a text field at the bottom of the editor that shows the current character's Mii URL. Using this URL will load that character directly into the editor when it's used.

As mentioned before, links with hexadecimal information could be used to dynamically load Mii characters into the editor. This is now working. Though there is no way to directly generate the url from the editor (yet) I am working with http://www.miiplaza.net to have miis within their database link directly to the Mii editor in this fashion. Example:

http://www.miieditor.com/?mii=33aa00730074006500760065005f006f0000000000006458807bd2b3c261e08040002fa0014066744089a4a01440b8af26670c8a250400730074006500760065005f006f000000000000

The Mii Editor has support for reading hexadecimal strings as Mii data. Though not a format you'd normally work with, it has it's applications. For example, using the hex data for a Mii (148 characters), you could potentially send your entire Mii character - thanks to its tiny format - to miieditor.com in the form of a url. Example (currently non-functional):

http://www.miieditor.com/?mii=276a0054007200650076006f00720000000000000000763b80706050c2010203000067e09980ee94188b86601450788c008a008a250400730065006e006f00630075006c006100720000

Ideally, this will make it easy to share Miis with a friend simply by sending them a URL.

Implementing this into the current editor shouldn't be too hard, but I want to finish the UI first and work on some more improvements to the character rendering.
