ROM Hack [Mario Kart 7] KMP Expander - A MK7 KMP Editor

[Ermelber]

New version!

What's new:
- Added Glider Routes editing
- Added CSV Importing for Glider Routes
- Added CSV Exporting for CAME and AREA

In the next days, I'll add CAME and AREA editing and CSV Importing for them.
I think next will be the final beta.

I have a slight problem with this program...

Every time I drag a dot with right-click, instead of autocalculating the Y value, it gives an error, every time. I already loaded the obj file and all that, and this glitch never happened with the beta 2, just the beta 5...

The error if you need it:

Spoiler: My directory is blotted out with (MYDIRECTORY) as an FYI

See the end of this message for details on invoking

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Thanks for reporting, I'll try fixing it immediately. It has something to do with the UIMapPos thing I lastly added.
I'm sorry I'm not updating KMP Expander so much but I really started hating its code... I might remake it from scratch using new knowledge...

PS: Oh, right now I can't. Also I don't really wanna mess up with that code further. I'll remake it from scratch asap

 

[Ermelber]

Well, I've fixed the bug. Download here:

Thanks so much!

Btw, I understand what most of the Routes do, but what do just plain "Routes" do?
Not Item Routes or Enemy Routes... just "Routes"?

When I right-click-drag it anywhere, it just teleports towards a random Object in the Objects Category. Is that intentional? And if so, what do these Routes even do?

They're the objects/Camera routes (such as crab routes etc...)

That's weird, I'll look into this.

I need help, how do I Disable the Respawn things (on Checkpoints section) where a player goes Out of Bounds? Not Lakitu's Respawn Points where he drops a player.

 

[Ermelber]

You cannot disable it

 

[Deleted User]

Oh, ok. I ended up moving them away in a distance instead. It sucks when deleting some Points and the game crashes

 

[Ermelber]

New version is in Work in Progress!

It will have ALL old KMP Expander features, plus, as you can see from the screenshot, You can tweak the settings as you please!
Since I'm recoding this from scratch it will take some time but I have to say something: Before today I still didn't have the rendering engine done.
After some hours of work today I've got a perfect dot moving (MUUUUCH better than the old version) and rendering. (And the code is much better)

Glad to see this is still in development!

 

[Ermelber]

Ok, yeah, I've decided to make another version from scratch AGAIN and it's almost finished.
You can download an alpha here.
Here are some new spicy screenshots

Spoiler

 

[Ermelber]

Alpha 3 is out

Changelog:

• Improved OBJ Rendering (Alpha Test now works correctly)
  
• Fixed OBJ Loading
• Added "Add Point on Map" mode
• UIMapPos is editable (just LocalMap for now)
• Various fixes

A quick screenshot:

 

[Ermelber]

Alpha 4 is here

I added the hide/unhide function for the Local Map Image as requested.
I've also dramatically improved the OBJ Importer which will be with a new nice dialog window:

You can also change the Settings:

Also, you can hide/unhide groups as you wish

 

[Ermelber]

Alpha 5 is out: https://www.dshack.org/store.php?page=file&fid=168

I've fixed some stuff and now Objects have a name instead of just a plain 4 digit Hexadecimal number. The Object list though is probably screwed up, most objects have their correct name but some don't. Please be careful!

 

[Qubemind]

Have you stopped supporting the project? I can't seem to connect to the dshack shop. (As in, it has been shut down by request from big n)

Update!
In the last year I've been improving this tool to allow more advanced editing of kmp files. Here are the new features in V4:

• Added stage information editing.
• Added multiple view planes.
• Added missing info to some KMP Sections (Most notably: enemy, item and glider routes) .
• Added .div file support.
• Added the possibility to create properly linked .bcmdl files from a .cmdl file so .div files work with it.
• Added more options to the OBJ Manager.
• Added KMP error checking.
• Added WIP application help (includes help related to the kmp).
• Added the ability to play intro cameras.
• Other minor bugfixes and improvements.
