ktools: Cross-platform modding tools for Don't Starve 4.4.0

Windows 8.1

Since you're on Windows, you can just download the precompiled binaries. It's the ktools-4.1.2-win32.zip download.

Thank you so much for your help. But it seems like I have some missing DLL-files which are causing an error whenever i try to decompile with krane

Or is the error caused by anything else?

Is the file IM_MOD_RL_rgb_.dll in the same directory as krane.exe? That's the file it's complaining about being missing.

If it is, try doing a "cd" to the ktools-4.1.2 directory and running krane.exe from there, but this really shouldn't be necessary.

Actually, this is probably a conflict with your previous attempt of installing ImageMagick yourself. Try uninstalling ImageMagick.

I uninstalled ImageMagick already. Still same prob...

 

 

Yes, the file is in the same folder as krane.exe. How do i do a "cd"? Im not very experienced... I made a new folder within the ktools.4.1.2-file and put the krane.exe into it. But when i try to open krane.exe it says that files are missing. Pretty sure this is not the definition of doing a "cd". Forgive my noobiness u.u

Well i tried KTools on another computer and it worked. But sometimes i receive an error in cmd (see image)

 

Should add a note that the repo version of CMake can not build this. You need to manually upgrade CMake to version 3.0

There's a multitude of repos, and a multitude of distros, so no, I won't add that remark.

 

What I should do soon however is remove the requirement for CMake 3.0+, since it's not a hard dependency.

You can unzip each of the zips (the build one and the animation ones) in a separate folder and pass all of them as arguments. If these files have more than one bank or anim, you can specify which build/bank you want by

$ ktech --build build_name --bank bank_name build_folder anim_folder1 anim_folder2 output_folder

 

I'm trying to mod the umbrella with a friend, and while umbrella.zip has an anim.bin, I noticed almost none of the swap_*.zip have any anim.bin, and I can't find them anywhere else either. Decompiling swap_umbrella by plopping the anim.bin from umbrella appears to work, but then running scml.exe on the result gives

WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified: "C:\\Program

Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Don't Starve Mod Tools\\mod_tools\\..\\..

\\temp\\swap_umbrella\\animation.xml"

ERROR: Command failed!

Any clue as to how to do this?

I build ktools on windows8 with CMake.

But I don't know how to fill the var (likes ImageMagick_EXECUTEABLE_DIR)

Can some one give me a screenshot about how to config the var at CMake gui

How do you use this?

@simplex,

 

after installing xcode, cmake, imagemagick and ktools. I am having this error when converting a .png to .tex:

 

Error: ktech: no decode delegate for this image format `PNG' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/501

 

When i convert .tex to .png, the resulting .png is always unreadable.

What could have been wrong?

It looks like there is an issue with decompiling walls. Maybe it is due to the update from yesterday? Whenever I try, krane tells me that there is an 

ERROR: Duplicate anim 'fullA' in bank 'wall'

Actually it's doing the same with any eightfaced or sixfaced prefab. Any way to fix this?

when i run ./configure, show this:

-- Check size of long long - done-- Looking for snprintf-- Looking for snprintf - found-- Check size of mode_t-- Check size of mode_t - done-- Performing Test HAVE_RESTRICT-- Performing Test HAVE_RESTRICT - Failed-- Performing Test HAVE___RESTRICT-- Performing Test HAVE___RESTRICT - Success-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

it says HAVE_RESTRICT - failed

i check the cmakelists.txt

CHECK_CXX_SOURCE_COMPILES (  "int test (void *restrict x); int main (void) {return 0;}"HAVE_RESTRICT) if(NOT HAVE_RESTRICT)CHECK_CXX_SOURCE_COMPILES ( "int test (void *__restrict x); int main (void) {return 0;}"HAVE___RESTRICT) if(NOT HAVE___RESTRICT)CHECK_CXX_SOURCE_COMPILES ( "int test (void *__restrict__ x); int main (void) {return 0;}"HAVE___RESTRICT__) endif()endif()

what can i do? please help me! thx!

 

if i try to launch krane it instantly closes, so does ktech

this program is to dangerous for those who do not know how to use bianary, if a mistake is made the user's whole computer could be completely wiped out, I suggest the Ktools be updated to an .exe as that won't only be safer but more user friendly.

Good stuff, i am now able to work on my mod images!

@simplex

I am having a hard time building the program. I don't have much experience with coding but it seems like the error is:

error C2065: 'ssize_t': undeclared identifier in the lines? (19), (20), (21), (22), and (23).

 

And I guess this bit is also need?:

C:/.../ktools-4.4.0-source/binaries/CMakeFiles/CheckTypeSize/SSIZE_T.c:

#endif

  int require = 0;
  require += info_size[argc];
  (void)argv;
  return require;
}

I think that's all the important stuff, if I'm missing anything do let me know and I'll post it. I'm using the windows CMake 3.6.0 and Visual Studios and ImageMagick Display following the directions listed on the ktools github README.

The krane.exe cannot extract the Sapling.

ERROR: Duplicate anim 'empty_90s' in bank 'sapling'

I get weird resut when decompiling cactus

All animations name are suffixed with _90s and i think some animations are lost

I installed the ktools won't run on my computer   Ktools I installed in my computer won't run on my computer is 86 bit

Isn't it about time to upgrade from Windows 3.1?

OK I did it.

But ktools-4.4.4 doesn't work on XP

<.<

>.>

I've attached some old version I had left on my harddrive, should work on WinXP, but krane will not decompile the anim.bin 100% correctly (More precisely, many rotated symbols will be mirrored or otherwise wrongly rotated. View the other changes using the changelog on this webpage).

This software is still developed by simplex, I am merely re-uploading this version.

ktools-4.1.1.zip

Had the same idea as this post.

Looked at HandsomeMatt/dont-starve-tools first.  The author said to use the official tools.

Didn't find anything in the official mod tools to help with "text" -> "png" conversion.

Found ktools.  Saw some binary releases from random people (NOT the repo...), but not of the latest version.  Started trying to build the most recent version (4.4.0) on Windows 10 with Cygwin / *nix-based utilities such as make and gcc/g++.

Got confused trying to use cmake instead of just plain make.  This first led me down a similar path as TheSquirrel23.

Tried installing any more ImageMagick-, libmagic-, and *-dev packages I could find in the Cygwin setup program.  Had the same problem.

Found the ImageMagick Binary Releases page which has packages for Unix and Cygwin (This might help, idk)!  Installed the Cygwin one, followed the instructions to set-up the variables.  Magick wasn't there, but the others were.

After some more strange cmaking that 'worked' but didn't give me any exectuables, realized I need to run the ol' configure and make.

Did so, used it on a sample avatars.tex file, it worked!

Realized that Google Drive link from Maris might have a more up to date version than 4.4.0??

 

If you want my versions, here they are attached.
