This is not essential in modding games, this is only for modding ONE game (Mario kart 8).
If it's a tutorial, it should go into the tutorial section.

Which reminds me, I should update this. Will do that tomorrow, if you have something you're curious about, tell me what it is and I'll put it in there. ;p

I have a weird problem. I'm trying to edit Mario's kart emblem but it is showing up on the kart all chopped up and flickering. On top of that, when I edit the emblem the entire kart displays as grey without the transparency. If I use the icon that was extracted without editing it the transparency works but it still flickers. I feel like it might be a problem with the mipmaps or how Paint.NET saves DDS files.

Actually, granted that quite a few "modding central" threads popped up with the new 5.5.x kexploit, it MIGHT not be a bad idea to add a new "Game Modding" section to the Wii U forum
Yes, it's a mipmap problem. I think there might be a solution to it somewhere in the guide. Basically, when running splicer.bat, you should have "0" as your first mipmap number. After the script runs, you should see "BFRES Mips = X". The number you see here is going to replace the "0" you have in splicer.bat. Add it in there and run the script again. You should see "GTX Mips = X" appear, this should be your mipmap number. Add it into splicer.bat and run it one last time. If you don't think it worked, just rerun the script a few times. Don't panic if any issues occur.
If "GTX Mips = X" says 0, just use the BFRES mipmap number instead.

I have a problem using filelist.bat, when I run it a window pops up but it quickly disappears and nothing else happens. The text is written without quotation marks and idk how to make it work. Thanks in advance.

Are there any specific settings I should be using when saving the edited dds file? Paint.NET has a few options for saving including compressor type, error metric, generate mipmaps, etc.
Also when you say to put a .gtx file with the same name into the main folder, do I copy the .gtx file from the convert or outDDS folders? They are both different sizes.

The text shouldn't be in quotation marks. Like @AFITZ said, you have to put pause into a new line for the script to stay on-screen.
I don't think there is any repacking method for them yet. You can extract them with this .bflim preset for QuickBMS, but I forget where it was. I'll link you later.
From the OutDDS_Lossless folder.
No, not really; the default settings work just fine.
@lonemoonHD When i try to run cafiine and load up mk8, it loops the engine sounds and doesnt get past that screen. Do you possibly know what is going on? Also on my pc the command line says the "listening... stuff" but nothing happens after i try to startup the game.
I've actually never had that issue. Could you please describe it in more detail? You can contact me via PM and we can talk it out there.

Someone here should notify us in this thread when course model edits become a thing, that's something I'd like to mess with in the future
been a thing for nearly 2 years, although no work has really been done since then
I'm aware that MrBean got it working, but I meant a public way to inject your own courses into the game
