KOFXIII Hitbox Viewer Installation Guide

Odabug's Hitbox Viewer - Link

Minimum Requirements:

1. Windows 7 Operating System – The hitbox viewer requires Windows Aero to display hitboxes. There is no way around this requirement.

2. A legit copy of King of Fighters XIII on Steam

3. Python 2.7.9 32 bit/ 86x – As of January 2021, Python 2.7.7 no longer has pip support which makes installing the viewer on Windows 7 impossible with that version. Python 2.7.9 comes with pip installed.

4. Setuptools 5.3 zip - Link

5. Comtypes 1.1.10 zip - Link

6. Pydbg 32bit.exe - Link


Additional Recommendations:

1. A setup strong enough to easily run KOFXIII at maximum settings. – Honestly, it is best to run the game with fixed framerate and static background, but the hitbox viewer adds a bit more stress on the pc. 4GB of ram, a good CPU, and a good GPU will suffice.

2. A 60hz monitor – This is only for anyone who wants to capture hitboxes. With anything higher than 60hz, there is a greater chance of the hitbox viewer not displaying properly through a capture device.


Steps:

1. Install Python 2.7.9:

  • Install Python to C:\Python27 folder.


2. Set C:\Python27 to the environmental variable system path.

  • At the end of the line to be edited, type ";C:\Python27\" (without quotes).
  • Click OK at all steps to return to the Control Panel.


3. Install setuptools 5.3 through the command prompt.

  • Extract Setuptools 5.3 folder from the zip to Windows C: root location.
  • Open command prompt and type "cd C:\setuptools-5.3\" without quotations then press enter.
  • Type "python setup.py install" without quotations then press enter.

4. Install comtypes 1.1.10 through the command prompt.
