Hacking Mario Kart 8 Modding Central

[TylerWulf]

The link for TCPGecko is broken, can anyone give me a new link (Sorry if I'm stupid and haven't read the chat about it)

Do i need tcgeeko or cafiine? Cant i just replace the files on my copy for the game like the one i use on my sd card? And run it with the homebrew launcher and the sd loader?

I downloaded Cafiine and I did all the steps right until... Step 5. I try to boot up Mario Kart 8 and it's stuck on the loading screen forever and nothing happens on ""[listener] Listening on 7332" nothing pops up. Any idea what I did wrong? I'm so confused.

 

[Plasma816]

Quick question, what are the file names for the results theme?

Someone knows how to fix the bug that everytime I create a texture it switches between the old one and my edited one? :/ it just Glitches around

Does anyone know how to change the setting for stages in mk8? (caffine) examples of the setting would be change to day time or night time etc

You didn't save the .dds with generated mipmaps (if using Paint.NET) or you didn't select the right number of mipmaps (if saving in Photoshop w/ NVIDIA plugin)
Either that or you didn't enter the mipmap number for the texture in the hax.py cmd prompt while putting it in the bfres. Most likely you left it as 0.

I think you need to do both to make it work properly.

Yes I left it as 0 cuz splicer said that it was 0. Do I need to re-run it a few times?

You need to get the correct number. You need to run this in a command prompt: hax.py (filename).dds (filename).bfres 0 x (x being the texture position ID) to get the BFRES Mipmap number that it shows in the command prompt. Then you replace the 0 with whatever number that is, then it'll show you a GTX Mipmap number, then you run the script a 3rd time and replace the BFRES Mipmap number with the GTX Mipmap number

tl;dr in a cmd prompt in TexHaxU's folder:

hax.py filename.dds filename.bfres 0 x (texture position ID)
find BFRES mipmap number
hax.py filename.dds filename.bfres x (bfres mip #) x (ID)
find GTX mipmap number
hax.py filename.dds filename.bfres x (gtx mip #) x (ID)

then it should work. hope this helps and I didn't write it confusingly.

As last: so your telling that I need to run it with cmd? If I understand it correctly

yeah, don't use splicer.bat and stuff, that only makes putting multiple textures in at once easier otherwise it's more complicated imo.

So the solution is dont use splicer.bat?!! Thank you!

yep. filelist.bat and splicer.bat are unnecessary, you don't need to make them.

 

[Videogamerev]

So in the byaml I would edit (for day time night time etc)

HeadLight, Sun, Moon, VR

Anything else?

Nope, that should be all you need.
