Installation

1. Make sure you have .NET 8 installed. Without this, the program will not open.

   • CoachesSmall
   • CoachesLarge
   • Cover
   • MapPackage
   • songTitleLogo

   Each folder should contain a bundle from an official Just Dance Next song.

Usage

1. Extract the ipk file of the song you want to convert by drag and dropping it onto JustDanceEditor.IPK.exe.

2. If the song is a mainscene, in the song folder, place the following files in \world\maps\{MapName}\menuart\textures (either in .png, .png.ckd, or .tga.ckd):

   • {MapName}_Coach_1.tga.cdk, {MapName}_Coach_2.tga.cdk, {MapName}_Coach_.. (up to 4 coaches)
   • {MapName}_AlbumCoach.tga.cdk or a 1024x2048 {MapName}_Cover_Generic.tga
   • {MapName}_map_bkg.tga
   • You can optionally add in a cover.png file to use as the cover.

   In the song folder, create a new folder called media in \world\maps\{MapName}\ and in it, place the webm and the ogg, names don't matter.

3. Launch JustDanceEditor.exe and select either 1.
4. Drag and drop the song folder onto the window.
5. Drag and drop the output folder onto the window.
