Overview

Lorenzi's KMP Editor is a KMP editor created by Hlorenzi that started in 2018. It is based on Node.js and Electron, and is available as free GitHub project.

The editor will automatically load a course.kcl file from the same folder and will display it as 3D world with easy navigation. It can also load course_model.brres files or any other models using the Wavefront OBJ format.

Creating points, paths, and forks is as easy as dragging points with the mouse – no need to set up indices, or prev/next links –, and with automated height correction, this makes editing tracks a breeze.

This program may link enemy/item route and checkpoint groups with each other. An extremely heavy Slow Motion Bug, slowing down the game by a massive amount, can occur if using a Red Shell on a point that links to its own group. To fix this, try to re-link points or use another KMP editor to adjust the groups.
