Modifying .brlan and .brlyt files - qetuo - 01-27-2021

Hi! I'm not into Mario Kart Wii hacking at the moment, but have a modded Wii and have a desire to make custom WADs.

However, most WAD making tutorials, resources, etc. are from the early 2010s, so a lot of resource files are no longer on the internet. 

Making custom WADs involves dealing with .brlyt and .brlan files, which from what I've researched are file types for animations and layout for Wii animation. I found that the MKWii hacking scene knows how to modify these files, so I would like to get some help from the community.

So, I have a few questions.

1. What are the programs that is commonly used to edit .brlyt and .brlan files?
2. This website teaches how to modify the files using text editor, and mentions that there are many animation types that can be utilized, listed on animtype.txt. However I cannot find this file on the internet. Is there anyone who knows about all the animation types?


Any help would be appreciated.

Will delete post if required, since it's not exactly about MKwii hacking.
