Mii Editor Blog

Ok, so I shifted the positioning of the nose and it looks better now. That may have been part of the problem (and I have had reports of it being just that though there were some other underlying issues). If anything else seems out of whack, just fill out a bug report. Thanks.

Oh, and I also want to try and nail down anomalies in the hair. So if you see anything wrong with that (ever so slightly) let me know. I mean, just now I loaded the default girl and saw that her hair is kind of off-center and she has a point coming out the side of her head... that's not right ;)

Posted an update to the Mii Editor. Changes include:

• Default Mii character now default boy (will try to provide a link loading default girl as well)
  
• Extra value for Wii ID
• Adjustable Image export size and background color (max of 999 px square)
  
• Some fixes to character rendering and Mii file format reading primarily with the nose (I think - may still need tweaking)
• Color and feature items are now highlighted for those currently selected for the Mii
• When navigating to a tab, the current feature page is where the currently selected feature exists (instead of defaulting to page 1)
  
• Fixed an issue where a random character could result in a facial feature value which was out of range; visually this has no effect but sometimes it messed up the facial features selection page

There might still be some issues with the nose; it may not be positioned correctly or values may not carry over correctly from the Wii still. I could use some help on identifying those issues, so if anyone notices anything, let me know and I will try to fix it ASAP. It's possible my Mii data for the default boy and girl are corrupt, however. I'll try to look into that later, but if anyone else can provide additional information, that could be helpful.

I also haven't looked into the image output issue for Linux. I'll see what I can do about that (and providing a Mii body) next.

I have found some time to work on the Mii Editor this weekend. So far it seems as though it's compiling OK for now (Yippie!) even though its still pretty messy in there. But new features will include being able to select an output size and background color for images being exported, hopefully a fix for the noses (I am not sure if it's right now or not; some of you guys out there might need to help debug that further once an update goes live), and the inclusion of the 4th byte for the Wii ID field - originally I assumed that bit would not change but it appears newer Wii models (firmware?) has a different value for it. Now the Mii Editor will let you change it :)

I will hopefully be able to include selection highlights for feature buttons too, but I am not sure how to work that in just yet. Also, including a body is on the table, but it will take a while to get the scaling (tall/short, thin/fat) worked out right for that.

I'll be sure to post when this new version is live.

Noses now have a fill color for, well, their nose skin (instead of just being outlines). In addition, glasses now have color for the types of glasses that have shaded lenses. I think lips are currently the only characteristic that doesn't display the appropriate color it has been defined.
