Whitehole
Whitehole is a level editor for Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2.
All downloads can be found on the release page.
Updating Java
WHITEHOLE REQUIRES A VERY SPECIFIC JAVA SETUP! PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS!
-
Oracle Java jre 8
-
Oracle Java jdk 11
ADOPTIUM CAN BE USED, BUT IT WILL NOT FIX SOME ISSUES!
With this new Whitehole version, Java requires an update.How to update Java:
-
On Linux, install
jre-openjdk-headless -
On Windows, use a browser to navigate to https://adoptium.net/ and download the executable. Make sure you selected Java 17 (or whatever the latest version is). You can leave the default options for the installer, but make sure "set JAVA_HOME" is selected and proceed with the install. If Java apps stop opening, you may need to restart your computer to apply the registry changes.
Troubleshooting
If Galaxies do not open, try this command:
java --add-exports java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports java.desktop/sun.awt=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports java.desktop/sun.java2d=ALL-UNNAMED -jar Whitehole.jar
If Galaxies continue to not open, I have no idea ask TheSunCat or Lord-Gigantucus.
