Bro, as far as I know super mario 3d land uses same file structure, except the models are ind seperate files :-), any possibilities you could look into a 3d land editor for us :-)?

I'm working on KMP Expander, a Mario Kart 7 KMP Editor.
I've already made this available on GitHub, but it's just the old version that can only handle CSV Editing. Better than nothing, no?

Features

-Paths sections will be easy to edit (ENPH, ITPH, CKPH, POIT, GLPH)
-CSV Exporter and Injector
-Map Editor like MKDS CM or EFE
-OBJ Importing and Automatic Y detection

How do you get into map view like in the picture you show? All I see when I open a KMP file is just the information about the file. Like just where the object info is for example. I also can't modify or add item box locations. Pls let me know soon. Thx.

Update: Figured out how to get the map open.

Also EFE allows me to add, but not modify the newly created object.

 

[Ermelber]

EFE cannot edit KMPs yet

 

[Deleted member 350372]

EFE cannot edit KMPs yet

Ah. I see. Would you have that kind of feature for modifying or adding objects in the objects tab for a future beta release of your program?

Also, is there any way of converting a MKDS nkm file to a MK7 kmp file? I Whenever I edit a kmp file using EFE, it forces me to save it as a nkm file. Sorry if this seems complicated to understand. I am sorta new to MK7 & 3DS hacking.

 

[Ermelber]

Yes, it's possible. But I may probably do that when I finish basic KMP Expander features

 

[Deleted member 350372]

Okay. Cool! I also understand it may take a while to create all the features into the program since it is still a beta program and that there is still a lot to do. So please take your time with this program.

Just thought of an idea or possibility. Would it be possible to edit the properties of a course item box to give you a specific item or set of items at random? (Like the super item box at DS DK Pass) Sorry about all the questions. I just am excited about the potential of this program and the fact that I am brainstorming ideas atm.

 

[Ermelber]

Yeah it is possible. I might add it soon

 

[Deleted member 350372]

Oh nice! Okay. Good to know that it is possible.

 

[Ermelber]

Nowadays I don't have much time to work on this, but I want to show you that I'm working on it (although slowly)
