Hacking Mario Kart 8 Modding Central

It still needs some usable BFRES exporter.
AFAIK MrBean and his brother made the custom Incendia Castle track by replacing FMDL / FVTX sections in BFRES files (aka "injecting"), judging from the tool name he chose ("MrBean's Magical BFRES corrupter"). While that might work most of the time, it's pretty unflexible (same goes to all the other injectors). There's still some detail missing on exporting completely new BFRES files (especially Index Group / dictionary search values), and the pointer bigotry in that file format is a bit annoying for writing an exporter (especially in managed languages), but I try getting as far as possible (in my limited time).

Please keep it up, German fella!
This is the needed step into the awesomeness of upcoming MK8 mods like the epic ones for Wii's MK by Wiimm.

I'm still writing a core part, importing BFRES directly into Blender. There's a thread here: http://www.vg-resource.com/thread-29259.html
I wasn't active in it since a week or two, as I was doing that extended Cafiine Server last week. I already got back to it xD

The idea is to eventually just allow editing tracks in Blender and export them. That's quite doable since Blender is extendable everywhere, you can attach MK8 specific properties to whatever you like. And that's how I'd probably realize some object editing at first soon, with a new MK8 object tab.

Dude nice

Writing a course_muunt.byaml tutorial right now. It'll take some time, I hope it's getting finished today xD

 

[lordelan]

Very appreciated! You're the man! I think I'd make some tracks with Blender as well if it works out to be doable. =)

 

[Ray Koopa]

That would be great. But, I'm far away from that yet (mostly cuz stupid work eats up my time)...

Maybe you wanna include my new tutorial here which is mainly targeted for course / track editing. =)
I also just added a short XML tutorial for those not having done it before.

Thank you. This helped out a lot.

So. Does anyone know what are the names of the kart files? the only one i could make out was the Yoshi Bike.

Any specific karts you're looking for?

 

[wolf-snake]

Any specific karts you're looking for?

Looking for the master mount in particular but it would be nice to document that kind of stuff for future use.

 

[MegAmi24]

All of this is hard to understand, can I get a simple Cafiine tutorial?

 

[lonemoonHD]

Oh gee, I haven't updated this thread in years.

Sorry everyone, I'll look through everything later today!

Thanks to everyone who wrote tutorials on things and such! You will be credited in the OP once I get around to updating it.

Cool, I'll have to try that out. Offline, of course.

Is this true?

 

[Deleted User]

Is this true?

If I remember rightly, yes, it's a legit thing.

However, if you look on the Wii U hacking and homebrew page on here, you'll notice it had its own thread which is now deleted due to it being a bad cheating mechanism!

Also, I suggest you remove the link from your quote; that link shouldn't be here at all because it contains copyrighted files anyway.

 

[Ray Koopa]

Yeah, after my tutorial on how to edit laps, it's probably better if everyone wanting to cheat with that edits the lap count himself and isn't a script kiddie
