Welcome to the DSHack.org Tool Repository! Or rather, Tool Repository is coming soon. As some of you may know, I'm currently creating a set of tools (GUI and Command Line) for MKDS and MK7 for Linux (and Windows 10, if you enabled Linux support, and installed X11 (GUI tools only)). However, I can't do it all alone, so I appreciate your help (especially looking at Gericom, so he can port LibEveryFileExplorer to ANCI C...). For those who want to help: Requirements - C or C++ Programming skills. - GTK+ knowledge, or any other Cross-Platform Library (GUI tools only). - Able to test your code on a Linux distro of choice, or Windows 10 with Linux support and X11 enabled. If you want to create macOS versions of the future Linux tools, you're allowed to help as well. However, Mac tools will not be added to this repository, but belong to the Hack Store instead. Tool Repository The Tool Repository is now available for all Debian-based distributions, this includes also Ubuntu and Linux Mint. Just open "/etc/apt/sources.list" as Root, and add the following line: deb http://deb.dshack.org debian/ After that, simply do "apt-get update", and you can now install each Tool from there! Other distros are coming soon. But we have decided to support the following distro's: Supported Package Managers apt-get or aptitude - Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Windows 10. sudo apt-get install kclcalc-7 yum - RHEL, CentOS, Fedora. sudo yum install kclgen-ds yast - SuSE, OpenSUSE. sudo yast -i kmpedit pacman - Arch Linux, Manjaro sudo pacman -S dae2nsbmd-cli brew - macOS (perhaps) sudo brew install wav2bcstm GUI or CLI? Most tools get both. Only KCL Calculator, and NKM/KMP Expander won't get a CLI Version, for obvious reasons. Tools that are ready kclcalc-ds (MKGirlism) kclcalc-7 (MKGirlism) narctool (Natrium42, and Dexter0) ndstool (Rafael Vuijk, Dave Murphy, and Alexei Karpenko) ctrtool (Neimod, and 3DSGuy) makerom (3DSGuy) bmdview (thakis) midi2sseq (Fincs) sseq2midi (Loveemu) yaz0enc (amnoid?) yaz0dec (amnoid?) makeromfs (3DSGuy) Tools that need to be done yet dae2bcmdl dae2nsbmd kclgen-7 kclgen-ds kmpedit nkmedit obj2bcmdl obj2nsbmd png2nsbtx wav2bcstm I'll do my best to do as much as possible on my own, but if you want to contribute or co-operate, you're welcome to do so. UPDATE! We still don't have a Repository set up, so for now, you can enjoy the Tools we have for now this way. In the Terminal: wget https://www.dshack.org/files/downs/linuxtools.tar.gz tar zxfv linuxtools.tar.gz chmod 777 install.sh ./install.sh And after that, you can use any of the following Tools in any directory: - bmdview - ctrtool - kclcalc-7 - kclcalc-ds - makerom - midi2sseq - narctool - ndstool - sseq2midi More is coming soon. |

| Miles Ermiiworth | I can make a simple command line version of KMP Expander made in C++, the only problem is that I'd have to port the KMP class to C++ and the Endian Reader and Writer too. Other than that, it'd be easy enough with my (even if limited) knowledge. |

| MKGirlism | I only hope Geri is willing to port LibEveryFileExplorer to C or C++, that would save a hell lot of work... |

Yes, this should work out very will, can't wait to see how well it comes along, I wish I could help in some way, but I have no real programming knowledge. Come to think of it, I could make Icons if, any are needed. |

| Gericom | There shouldn't be a separate png2nsbtx, but obj2nsbmd and dae2nsbmd (which should probably be combined too) should rather have an option to generate a separate nsbtx. |

Suggestions: -Editor/importer for texture animations (.nsbta) -importer for Character and Model animations, if there's a way without maya/3DSmax. (.nsbca & .nsbma) -Editor for Karts in MKDS (edit the stats, position of the wheels and character more easily) Less important in my opinion: -Editor for particles (.spa) -somethings for .prm files (what does this contain?) |

I made a library to easily Read/Write binary files. It works like the one Gericom gave me for KMP Expander, but it's for C++ and I made it from scratch anyway. https://github.com/Ermelber/EndianBinaryIOLib |

| Megalegacy | I would love to help! I'm pretty decent at C myself (me being inactive was partly me doing a lot of research), plus I'm learning C++. I will try my best not to be inactive. Also, I'm running ARM (RPi) and it will take maybe 1 week to 3 months to get a new computer. (that's how unsure I am :/) So when I get it, I will be 100% there, but I can probably get some stuff running on a RPi too. We'll see. |

I've updated my EndianBinaryIOLib https://github.com/Ermelber/EndianBinaryIOLib I've also implemented some sections of the KMP to my KMP Class, it will take some hours to complete. I can then start working on the actual tool |

Wonderful! Even though this is in its early stage, I can't wait for this to usable one day. May bring back my interest in making Mario Kart 7 custom tracks again! Sadly I can't do anything useful since I just started my computer science classes this quarter. On a side note, I thought GTK+ would make the app look foreign on a Mac (if someone were to implement it on mac), but seeing how gedit looks on mac, it may not be bad at all. Have you consider posting this on other sites like GBAtemp, so other people know about it? |

Have you consider posting this on other sites like GBAtemp, so other people know about it? Not at the moment. Posting it on GBATemp is more like gambling, as the outcome might be either "sure, I'll help", or "yeah, G'Luck alone", or "pics or GTFO", or they may not respond at all. |

https://github.com/Ermelber/KMP-Tools I wasn't able to compile it successfully. It states that it could not find KMPSections.h. |

That's because I forgot to include it xD Thanks. https://github.com/Ermelber/KMP-Tools I also added the abstract KMP class that allows easier interaction (only for Enemy Routes for now) |

I'll give a bit of an update now: I've managed to port NDSTool, CTRTool, MakeROM, and BMDView by just re-compiling these. And with a simple modification, I've as well managed to port NarcTool. Also, I think I'll change my plans a bit: Most Tools will be Command Line-only now. I don't see a point in having a GUI with just an "Open" and a "Convert" button, while it can be done way easier and way faster in Command Line... And as a bonus, it makes it easier to re-compile on other systems, like on macOS. |

I'll give a bit of an update now: I agree with you, it is better the command line I made a library to easily Read/Write binary files. It works like the one Gericom gave me for KMP Expander, but it's for C++ and I made it from scratch anyway. Do you mean .bin files in MK7? |

EndianBinaryIOLib is meant for any kind of .bin files, actually. You can't do any ROM Hacking with it as is, it's just a library. |

| CuriousTommy | MkGirlism, will your bcmdlgen tool support more stuff, such as texture animation or vertex colors (basically things that you can do in Nintendo's SDK that is not possible with EveryFileExplorer)? |

I didn't think of this, but it's good to consider it. Speaking of which, I've just put the Source Code of what I have now on Github, so now everyone is welcome to contribute: https://github.com/MKGirlism/bcmdlgen |

Nice! Can't wait for the bcmdl and the nsbmd generator :) Do you think, a nsbta (texture animation) generator is possible? SM64DSe has a generator, but the game uses BMDs. Are nsbmd and bmd similar, or are they a completely different thing? |

Nice! Can't wait for the bcmdl and the nsbmd generator :) To answer your question, SM64DS was one of the most early DS games, the model format it uses is based off of the same format that was used in some GC, and Wii games, though likely a bit simplified for DS standards, we can't say for sure if the format is similar to NSBMD, or not, but the 2 work in different was, so information about 1, will likely not help out with the other. |

Alright. Sounds interesting. I will take a look at the Casino-Luigi from SM64 and NSMBDS, because SM64DS' Luigi is BMD, while the other is NSBMD. Maybe i can find some similaries. |

No, neither is true. Instead, the project got altered quite a few times over time. Instead of creating a whole toolset of CLI apps, I've been developing a single GUI app to at the very least replace EFE with (last time it got updated was 2 years ago, and the creator doesn't care about it anymore, anyway). This application is using GTKmm 3.x as its GUI library, so it could possibly allow me to easily cross-compile it for Linux, Windows, and macOS. The only drawback here is, there's pretty much no documentation about GTKmm outside the official references, so it's basically tons and tons of blind Trial-and-Error, making it often difficult to get anything to work, which is also the reason why it takes so long. |

Seeing that there was not update in either Miles Ermiiworth's or your github page for a while got me worried for a moment. I am glad to see that I am wrong. What is the program currently able to do? |

Right now, it can view KMP values, and it has a nice menu, so nothing really fancy yet. I'm working on the graphical viewer already, but mixing OpenGL into GTKmm is such a pain to do... |
