Hello, and welcome to the Wii Tanks! (How to Mod) series! In this series, I go through an indepth look into the aspects that are attributed with Wii Tanks modding. Through these videos, it is my hope that I can impart most/all of my current knowledge about Wii Tanks modding to you, so that you can continue to produce exciting and riveting content for the Wii Tanks minigame included with Wii Play!

In this video (Episode 2), I go through how to mod the most important file for the Wii Tanks minigame. The common.carc file! I go through how to extract the data out of the file, what elements of the minigame the common.carc applies to, and how we can go about editing the elements that are within the common.carc file. This episode is quite long, but seeing as this file is the file that dictates most of how the Wii Tanks game runs, its apparent that anything shorter wouldn't be doing this file enough justice!

If you have any questions/comments/concerns about something in the video, or Wii Tanks modding in general, please post a comment below, and I'll see what I can do!

As always, I hope you enjoy! And if you did, a like would be greatly appreciated :)
