Issue with KMP Expander

User 318 Hi, I'm trying to create my first custom track (a port of Donut Plains 1 from MKDS), but I have a problem with KMP Expander.

Opening the KMP file of the original track (Toad Circuit in this case) works fine for me, but when I try to import the OBJ file of my CT, it shows nothing at all. I tried with an OBJ file for Toad Circuit and it opens that, but it's very glitchy, as you can see here.

How can I fix this?

LeDryBones81 Well first of all, welcome to DSHack, we gladly welcome newcomers here :D
But anyways, the problem you are having. I am not good with this stuff at all, in fact I probably am as helpful as Microsoft tech support, but I wanna try at least.
So, have you placed your track under Y=0 when making track OBJ? That's a mistake commonly made by starters (according to Pablo btw)

User 318 No, I made sure to place the track above Y=0. The weird thing is that I gave my OBJ file to somebody else and it works just fine for them.

User 318 Okay, I managed to fix it. Changing the decimal separator used by my system from , to . made it work. Thanks for the help anyway!

MKGirlism Quite weird you had the problem with comma's and full stops, as KMP Expander was created by an Italian (which you are as well, I see).
Good nice to see you nailed it out already.

User 318 Thanks :) My CT is coming along well and almost finished, I'll release it on the store soon.

Speaking of KMP Expander I'm amazed at how useful this program is, good job Ermii :p small suggestion for the next version: a link to BB's guide for checkpoints? I found that to be very helpful as well, and it'd be nice to have it on the program, so that new people can avoid whitescreening a lot with their first attempts like I did

Miles Ermiiworth It's because I use that separator as well for some reason
