Angepinnt MKWii - Competitions!

      I'm not quite sure. It could be possible that the Mario Kart Channel also resets the patch done by the homebrew app.

      You could do so, but after you checked, better run the patcher again to make sure the URLs are still patched (and check the output of the patcher whether it patched again or not).
      I would recommend using an USB Loader and the patched image.

      But anyways, what I can tell you is that your wii hasn't downloaded the competition yet. PokeAcer fixed the DNS server this afternoon (which you are probably using?) and after that fix, the first download request from your wii at 4:20 pm CET only created an entry in my log files. The next download request - probably at about 10:20 pm CET as the competitions are requested every 6 hours - should download the competition if I haven't made another mistake with the files on my server.

      Success: Coolnez' wii has actually downloaded our test tournament, just after changing some settings in Mario Kart Wii and running our patcher.
      Next test will be if it also downloads the announcement letter for the wii menu.

      The announcement letter (with the Mario-Kart-envelope) which tells you that there is a new competition.

      EDIT: Here is a picture of the envelope:

      Yes, I can freely edit both the announcement letter and the messages shown in the Mario Kart Channel which explain the tournament.

      Not complete yet. Delivering the competition works, but the first problem is that we do not have a working SAKE, so you cannot upload your result (well, you can, but it'll go to /dev/null ) and cannot view rankings.

      Also, the rankings shown before you click "view Top 10" are completely wrong, because they are static data at the moment and not loaded from the SAKE database. This is another point to fix (the ones you see when clicking Top 10 however will be correct as soon as we have a working SAKE in the future).

      And it's only "really" complete when I've got every tournament file :P

      Also, I'm currently making the competition files by hand with a hex editor - taking the VFF file, take another specific header, put title in it, put text in it, put those two files together, write an announcement, put that base64-announcement into the file, ...

      This takes time if i want to do that for every competition in every language so I need to write a script / tool for that, too.

      Well,as there is public threads of it, ofc :P
      BTW, right now sending rankings wont work on my server because we need to automatically make these files, something @Leseratte and I are going to work on :P

      I currently host the DLS1, GAMESTATS, and Peerchat server for Wiimmfi. if you have any issues with leaderboards (excluding MKW!), Mystery Gifts or other in-game downloadables, or Pokémon Wi-Fi Plaza, I can try to help!
      @Coolnez It seems as if your Wii has downloaded the announcement letter at 02:21 am CET this morning. Could you please check if you see the announcement letter, and, if you see it, if it has a "Start" button, and, if it has, what happens when you click it?

      cdb.vff is just the complete message board (the play time log letters, and maybe also the competition letters). But we can simply write new competition announcement letters ourselves and do not need to spend time writing a tool which tries to extract the letters from the cdb.vff file.

      Okay. I Just Check, It Is not there For some Reason...

      Also, If I Went into Mario Kart Wii (Patched by the wiimmfi patcher) To Play The Tournament, would it still be on the Mario Kart Wii Channel?
      And If I used the Patcher For Tournaments, Would I Be Able to Still receive Them? (as well as the Special custom Announcement?)

      If you've only started the wiimmfi-patched version, this doesn't reset the patch.
