Making KiSS Dolls

There are a number of documents that are essential reading if you wish to create your own dolls:

• KiSS General Specification
  Whether or not you have tools to convert between file formats, KiSS/GS is still required reading, as there is no tool available for creating and editing a configuration file that is quite as flexible as a text editor.
• Dov Sherman's guide to creating KiSS dolls
  The guide gives a step-by-step walkthough of building a doll. The tools referred to in this guide are biased towards Windows, but the basic mechanisms are the same for all platforms.
• Chad Randall's FKiSS specification
  This gives details of all the events and functions used by the French KiSS sound and animation extensions. It includes the proposed FKiSS2 standard, as well as the more widely used FKiSS 1.
• My own FKISS reference
  This provides a reference guide to all FKISS functions up to and including FKISS 4.

If you are a RISC OS user (if you aren't, why are you reading this page? go away!) you may find MakeKISS, KISSTools and lharc useful tools.
