KS Java Editor (+ source code)

oooooooh ok so I have to download the original knytt stories, I get it

This editor was originally posted in the old Forum, and there's a number of things I didn't bring over to this post; I thought there would have been no need for all that stuff. I should have left at least the basic instructions on how to install it.

I kind of figured that you didn't have KS installed, but made a more generic reply just in case it weren't the case. Of course, technically speaking, you'd only need the Data folder, because it contains all the tilesets, music, etc. that the editor needs to use, as well as the Template.bin file, which is actually a .knytt.bin file for the basic level that is opened whenever you create a new level.

ok ok thanks!

It won't let me set my home directory. It says its invalid, but Its my KS folder. Maybe it has issues with flash drives.

I can't figure out where the problem might be. Could you please copy the full error message you're getting?

Just to make sure you're doing it correctly: did you select the folder in which KS is installed, as opposed to the KS executable or any of the subfolders (Data, Worlds etc.)?

The only issue the editor has with flash drives that I could think of is that if you use it on different PCs or different OSes, the saved KS Home path will most likely be wrong. I thought about trying to fix it somehow, but it might create other problems. I have yet to test the editor out on removable drives though; I'll see if I can reproduce your issue as soon as I can.

EDIT: It seems to work fine on my pen drive.

It says "cannot get home directory". I don't need to use it, I just want a skinnable editor

I don't know if it'll help, but could you try the modified version attached to this post? If it doesn't solve your problem, and if the error message has changed, could you post the entire message here? Thanks.

It just gives me more errors. It could be a Windows 7 issue.
