Instructions
Windows
- Find the .arc file in ObjectData that you want to replace a texture in.
- Open that .arc file in WiiExplorer.
- Locate the file with either .bmd or .bdl extensions. (If you cannot find one, then there is likely no model for that object.)
- Extract the .bmd or .bdl file to somewhere on your desktop.
- Open the .bmd or .bdl in J3DView
- Locate the texture you want to replace and right click it. Select "Export" from the pop-up menu. (It will be saved in the .bti format)
- Here is where you need to find a tool to convert .bti to .png.
