Remarks, Restrictions and Limitations

Mix Lock

Original mix is locked to prevent you (yes, you) to break your KFC installation.

Conversion Output

Vox have some sense in it's file format than ksh file, as the result, not all attributes can be mapped precisely and potentially lead into bug in the output file. For FX mapping, user defined FX will be ignored, only basic FX's that will be included into the output.

Remember, stupid input get stupid output. But if you believe it's a bug, feel free to open issue or PR.

Network Scores

Make sure you are running the game under offline environment and NOT connected to any KFC network server while using the output files of this tool. It could break network score table and you may get banned from the network for doing so.

Music DB

The program also prevent you to modify Music ID and some attributes are kept hidden from editor, For existing songs, the program will try to preserve all attributes throughout save iteration. However, attributes that not recognized by the program might be lost.

Make sure to backup your music_db.xml / music_db.merged.xml if you have non-standard attributes in your music db or attributes that newly introduced after 2022 latest datecode (Note: radar is supported!).

Asset File Modification

Replacing asset files such as vox, 2dx and graphic files are happen immediately after changes are confirmed. In other hand, metadata need to be saved manually by clicking File -> Save or CTRL+S.

Note that you can postpone asset modification until you save metadata by disabling autosave in Edit -> Autosave Assets
