Hey! My first post on this forum ^^
Anyways, love the mod, been using it by default for a few months now.
Curious as to if there would be any way in the future to do this to the mario kart 8 deluxe version? As it seems, by watching videos on youtube, I don't think the vanilla AI are any different from normal Mario Kart 8. Just curious. Thanks.

This is strange, I installed your mod in the correct path with this Cafiine Server: https://github.com/Syroot/CafiineServer and MK8 is just hung up at the splash screen (USA, Disc Version, 5.5.1, using cbhc and geckiine). Any ideas?

EDIT: Nevermind, geckiine doesn't seem to work at all with mk8

Hello, great mod, but was wondering, is there anyway to disable the cpu's rubberbanding and making them drive at a constant 1.06f speed (which is equivalent to the speed of a player with 10 coins) or even make the speed of the rubberband to 1.06f speed?

It's possible, but that will break a lot of things and make the game a lot less challenging.

There have been numerous changes to the vanilla AI in Deluxe, mainly for 200cc races. But I think they still use BYAMLS sooo look forward to it in the future!

SDCafiine works only with games that utilizes sdcard such as Smash.It won't work with MK8 unfortunattely.Alternatively you can dump the MK8 files,add this mod and then launch with loadiine.That's what im doing atm ;).

Wait can you tell me the steps to your alternatively plan. So I dump the files, then can you tell me the next steps you did

Found a mk8d mod. Although comments say it doesn't work really. I havent tested it myself. Figured I'd post here showing it seems to be possible to create this. (Cant post links apparently, so I'll just say it's on gamebanana site under mario kart 8 deluxe mods, called harder cpu mod)

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
