------------------------------

After a couple days of work I an updated release of tgaWave CS.
I have done 10 versions of this program, several did not work.
The version that I consider "classic" is the .5 release, though
.8 is the release that changed everything. Now at the 1.00 rele-
ase we have fixed a lot of the bugs, and I have learnt a lot in
the process of creating this hack. I have learned not only to
not quit a project because of something dumb, but to continue it
until it is finished. Thanks to all the support from QJ members
for I would not have returned without you. Thanks to all that
helped me find and make applications to make this program poss-
ible. And finally, a huge shout out to nicinico, who has worked
behind the scenes fixing minor mistakes that I have made along
the way. Without nicinico, I could not make 1.00 a reality.
Enough of my monolog, and more of the program. Enjoy the 1.00
point release, and let your PSP customization fly free with the
waves!
					


Here is an example of a tga.(flames.tga by Z33)

And the wave once converted:

Here is whot todo!:

  • Downlaod the TgaWave Creative Studio v1 >>> HERE
    or TGAwave v0.7 >>>HERE
    I find that 0.7 makes better waves move faster and are more compact,..
    TgaWave Creative Studio v1 also makes matching boot waves,.!

  • Inside the download is a "folder/rar file" called templates.
  • Use the psd template for photoshop.
  • you should see these layer's and its pretty clear in what layer you can draw,.. ;P
    [Image: f_layersTemplm_4db57a1.jpg]
    (I tried the sonic logo)
  • Make sure all layer's are visible and goto "Image">>>> "Mode" >>>> "Idexed colors"
  • Click yes for merging layers, and set all settings as shown in the picture below.
    [Image: f_indexedcolom_098164d.jpg]
  • Now you can save the picture as a .tga into the "TGAwave" folder
  • Double click "start.bat" and you will be asked to type in the name of your .tga picture.(full name with.tga!)
  • If the tool says you have to make the tga smaller then lower the color count in
    the indexed color option in photoshop.(eg 32 >> 20)

    Ready!!

    Flash the  created "system_plugin_bg.rco" to flash0:\vsh\resource

    This was my first try:

    And some time later:
    With 250 color count,.!?!? double you tee eff!! its because there is alot of black in the tga,..

    My final completed wave:
    So after 2 hours of trying to make the best out
    of making a wave with a logo i got this.
    If the logo is to far to the right or left or
    you want to scale your wave, power-up
    Zinga's rcoeditor 1.15c and go into the page
    date of the system_plugin_bg.rco and you can
    change position and stretch value's of the wave
    by editing "default_theme_model".




    Happy wave making!!

    i made a pretty descent wave a very while back using the tga wave editor, i can't show a screen shot because my brother broke my usb cable so here is the file.

    -- if someone would not mind using it and taking a screenshot of the wave i would greatly appreciate it. It would be easier if others can see how it looks like rather than having to put it in the psp and test it themselves.


    Just so you guys know i had this thing since Feb. 2007

    Yes i know i have seen waves with names logo's picture's a year ago 2!!

    lol but when i tried back then it was a messy work to do,.. now with this Custom tgaWave Packager v0.7 its fairly easy to make,. no hexediting,. etc
    I dunno when v0.7 was released but sure works fine,.!!

    Nice wave by the way very "fine line"
