Title: Knytt Stories Manager Not Working!!!!
Post by: DarkBadger on February 28, 2009, 12:44:29

Hey I've had Knytt Stories for a while and i can't seem to open up the knytt Stories Manager from the Level Editor. Every time i click the World Properties it loads then the window's top bar goes dull and then goes back to normal and nothing opens. I was wondering what the problem could be becuase i want to create warps and such.

Odd problem. I don't know what you can do to fix it, but until then you can always write warps shifts and signs by hand in the level .ini file.

I had a similar issue once. The problem was that there was too many directory levels for the Knytt Stories folder, so I had to move it up a few folders. I'm not sure if it did the same things, but it was the same overall problem.

Also place this in Knytt Stories\3rd Party Tools\KSManager\. (you have to make the folders yourself) There's a little bug that makes it crash if you don't XD It's supposed to just give you a message, but it doesn't for some stupid reason. Ah well.

If that isn't the problem,

-How long is the total file path? If it is extremely long, apparently KS won't be able to use it correctly.

You can also create warps and shifts without the KS manager, just using the World.ini.
In addition to the suggested above, see if you can open it directly, and not via the editor. This seems like a naming problem, if there is no crashing. Anyway, good luck!  :)

The thing is i don't know how to do warps in the text file. I've also tried other versions of Knytt Stories but all KSManagers do the same? :sad:

You could look at the Advanced Feature Demo's World.ini to see all of the advanced features at work.  If you looked at that and played it through the level editor, and maybe even created your level on the side, as well, I'm sure you would be able to get it :)

Ah, I've had this problem before. I just re-installed KS and it worked. Make sure to save all of your projects you're working on first. Like, compress them to somewhere else, like the desktop, and then re-install them when you're done.

Have you also tried opening the manager from "Knytt Stories - 3rd Party Tools?"
