Coraline (wii) .wii file format

Rypie109 · May 19, 20242 yr

Hello, for over 180 days now I have been tirelessly working to extract the contents of the .wii format used in the Coraline game. Some files contain mesh, some conatain textures, and some contain audio. There is a certain folder structure, based on each level/area used in game. The folders are labeled with L_(prefix for level here). If anyone can contribute, or even be so kind as to provide a bms script, I would be eternally grateful. l_d1nw.zip

The attached archive contains a graphic from a game that I'd like to edit. I can view the texture in Imageheat in 128x128 PS2 1 Swizzle format. But I don't know which programs I can use to edit it.

birdytsc · March 24, 20251 yr

Looking to see if anyone is interested in this, 3D models/geometry isn't exactly my strongest skillset (which I'm sure you will soon notice). I was originally inspired by an old thread on Xentax for other Rareware games (primarily Grabbed by the Ghoulies) however Live and Reloaded seemed to get skipped over since no one could figure out the compression the game was using. Fast forward a few years and i learned that Xemu had a debugging feature with support for IDA which is a tool I'm f

Did you point to the DIRINFO file or to a folder? The script wants the original DIRINFO file.

ID-Daemon tools source code

Here is the archive of all my source code as of July 2026. (with the exception of very few files related to asset encryption) You can use my sources for any free, non-commercial projects. However, as has always been the case, I'm against commercial, paid usage or paywalls. This includes selling tools, mods or models. There are also around 40 earlier projects related to audio/sfx/music extraction. Those will be published a bit later.
