Did you two use the 1.1 version? Can you tell me what exactly happened? I fixed a stupid bug I made. Also, the anti-virus thing is unavoidable because the nature of the program. It listens for the ctrl-y key press, anti-virus programs don't like programs that listen to key presses

If I read your manual well I can guess that this also works for the szs modifier and the kmp modifier. Is this right?

I tried kmp modifier and due to the way the tables are set up, it doesn't work right now (it has an extra Group column, which sets off all my calculations) I hear KMP modifier will have auto-y anyway. edit: SZS modifier does work as well.

Weird, it only works partially, I tried it with the track I'm currently working on, I wanted to do the enemy routes. However, it worked for the sections 2-6 but not for the sections 1, 7 and 8, any idea what could cause that?

This program is not working at all... I did everything right but it just doesn't update the Y Value... It even made KMP Cloud crash once!

It happens to European users that have comma decimal separation system. Just change separation format in control panel.

You can just use KMP Modifier 3.1 to find the Start Position and work from there.

I think you forgot the purpose of this program is to avoid exactly that...

Magic Y is working for people on the Mario Kart Wii Forums: link deleted

Don't know why it is not working for me. =(

Python 2 or 3?

I tried with a P3.3 install, and it didn't work. Is this P2.x only? --jimbo1qaz (talk) 04:11, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

I installed Py2, went back and forth, install this, that... couldn't get it to work at all... It ended up pasting some random paths, etc... Tried running as admin, uninstalling, etc. With a 2+3 dual-install, v2 is default even in the absence of a #!/bin/python2 shebang (the default says #!/bin/python). So I'm starting to think it's not a Py2/3 problem. And btw, I'm using Win7. --jimbo1qaz (talk) 04:35, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

I got it work!

I got to work. Amazing, and helpful tool. I exported a KCL of my track, decoded it with Wiimm's SZS Tools. Shadow (talk) 23:42, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Help!

I attemped to get the height automatically with this tool, but when I press Ctrl+Y, it doesn't do nothing. I have Python 2.7 and KMP Cloud. Help please! NewSuperMoiWii (talk) 14:50, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Doesnt work.

I press control+y and it didnt work. Heres a link to my video showing the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4WWiCacI3U --Unsigned comment by MrFrog (talk).

Confusion

What version of Python do I need? What if my map OBJ is all rectangles instead of triangles?--Littlelum (talk) 22:44, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Python 2.7.x has to be used, where the x is the current build for the last digit. I'm unsure about the OBJ using rectangles instead of triangles, however. --KantoEpic (talk) 23:00, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

What is the exact definition of an OBJ that is all triangles? Also, the anti-virus didn't try to stop me at all. Do I have to install Python in a specific way? Because I just used the installer and that's it. Also, when I selected the entire row representing the start position and pressed control-y, I saw that swirly icon the mouse changes to when something is loading, but nothing happened. (It stayed at zero)--Littlelum (talk) 00:32, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

The Python installer is the only "proper" way to install it. Once you get it installed, change the number format on your computer to "English (United Kingdom)" if you haven't done so already. The program should then work. --KantoEpic (talk) 04:12, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Exactly how would I change the format? I can't find it anywhere in my settings, and what's the difference from English (United States)?--Littlelum (talk) 00:03, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

The author of the program is British. Anyways, here's how you change the number format (assuming you use Windows): Control Panel -> Clock, Language and Region -> Change date, time, or number formats -> Formats -> English (United Kingdom) --KantoEpic (talk) 00:19, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

It didn't work. Possibly because my OBJ isn't all triangles? How would I take a sketchup model and make it into triangles? Would I need to use the triangulate plugin? Does the OBJ need to have textures? (By the way, thanks for answering my questions)--Littlelum (talk) 23:15, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Again, I'm unsure about the OBJ, but I think it would need textures. You're welcome, though. --KantoEpic (talk) 23:20, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

@Littlelum, make sure the short date field is yyyy-MM-dd. --MrDark35000vr (talk) 01:14, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

It works! Thanks!--Littlelum (talk) 21:00, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
