[Gericom]

I making a MKDS Course Modifier:

What I have so far:

• CARC/NARC reading and writing to 2 paths deep.
• NKM Editor (Not Completed)
• KCL Viewer (Not Completed)
• NCGR, NSCR Viewer (NCGR is editable)
• NSBTX Editor
• NSBTP Viewer (Included into the NSBTX Editor) (I will reinplement soon)
• NSBMD Viewer
• NSBTA support
• ARM9 Hacking
• Generate course pictures for MKDS
• LZ77 Decompress and Compress
• NCLR Editor with PAL import and export
• BMG Editor
• BMD Viewer
• NDS Support
• SDAT, SWAV, SWAR, SSEQ and STRM support
• WAV -> STRM
• WAV -> SWAV
• BNCL and BNBL viewer.

Note: Sometimes I haven't added a filetype to the file type list in the open dialog. So, try some files with all files.





The NKM Viewer has a zoom function and on the map can you see the bottom screen icons of the objects.

Hotkeys NSBMD Viewer:
↑ = rotate up
← = rotate left
→ = rotate right
↓ = rotate down
w = wireframe
f = another texture rendring (2x press is the best at the moment)
z = translate left
x = translate right
a = translate up
s = translate down
scroll-wheel = zoom

Like how it looks I MUST TRY THIS!

 

[Kingdino]

Thanks man! Support 100%! Good luck in creating this program!

[Someone says, is the breeding season of editors for Mario?]

 

[evandixon]

Small bug:
OpenFileDialog1.Filename probably shouldn't start out being "OpenFileDialog1"

 

[Gericom]

Update:
Now better narc support.

I just wondering about pallete editor, you can create for own tools, i think is usefull for another sprite if is not on ROM...

nevermind i was go that from you tools, yeah thank you i can hack MKDS, i think is cool in my DS XD,

but i think is bug:
- is not detect automatic NITRO format, it must have extension, and must match...
- every button on toolbar, in tools info why is just name of that control? you forgot to rename that?

yeah is working to edit nclr, thank you

...

sometimes i renamed my MKSD ROM to another extension, you app is like not read that file ..., also narc too, yeah i know i must rename to extact extension, but you can improve that for can detect automatic for that?

 

[FAST6191]

A nice start and I will certainly be following this as I have been eyeing up MKDS for a total conversion for a while now. I am quite happy to frontpage this but if you want to get a few more releases in I will hold back for a little while.

>> andibad

For the toolbars, I know that. I will rename it soon.

And I will make automatic detection for the files. (but for some files it's difficult (carc,kcl))

Nds roms aren't readeble at the moment it will be in in some time.

 

[andibad]

oh thank you

yeah i hope this tools have stable version

, yeah this tools is great XD

i have nclr, but on extension is rlcn, so you program cannot detect it as nclr... so is not show a dialog to edit nclr... but is no problem.

EPIC! Thank you very much!

 

[Ray =D]

When I open a NSMBD or LZ.bin I allways have a white ball o0 Why?
Is it also possible to open ncl insteat of nclr files (is possible) but EDIT them, too?

 

[Gericom]

That white ball is so you can see when you zoom in or out if you don't see more then the ball.

You can view ncl.bin files. But not edit them. That will be in in some time.

 

[Ray =D]

I can never see something else. Also when I zoom in or out^^

 

[basher11]

kaizo mario kart ds maybe?

 

[Ray =D]

I thought it works with every NSBMD so I used one from New Super Mario Bros. >_>

 

[Gericom]

Not all nsbmds work but for example bone0.nsbmd works.
And I am working on better nsbmd preview.

 

[Gericom]

New version:
Narc reading almost perfect.

 

[Naxito]

Wow, marvelous, much encouragement!

 

[Gericom]

Thankyou.

 

[signz]

Sweet.

That opens up MKDS ROM hacks with totally new tracks (maybe even new drivers, if textures and models can be ex- and imported?).

Really looking forward to first hacks.
