She is also able to edit nrm texture?

 

[StandardForumGuy]

no need to ask that 2 times, but if you're referring to the ability to edit the nrm texture, then yes.

 

[chri02]

yes, but I'm sorry, it was a error the 2 post.

While renaming files, is it possible to have different kart styles for every character (like this:http://gamebanana.com/skins/150676)?

 

[StandardForumGuy]

What do you mean? The GameBanana link is broken.

What I meant was different kart textures for individual characters, like standard parts.

 

[StandardForumGuy]

IIRC yes, but I don't know how

IIRC yes, but I don't know how

If the file's name ends with "_CHARACTER" like I've seen in downloads.

No, it's not. If a kart only has one texture (like the P-Wing), you can only replace it with one of those custom textures at a time. That guy made multiple based on different characters but it's not like the Standard Kart where you can have them all in your game.

See here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12Ju79m4RgkPwVHoDhzsGC-yCxjBbZVGmQ4vL2VK2O4w/ in the vehicle tab to see which vehicles can have multiple texture replacements at once. You can't change which character they're assigned to though.

Huh, missed opportunity since Smash can have extra modded costumes.

Smash works differently and it's a lot more cracked and understood. No one has delved deep enough into MK8 at this point to see if it would be possible to code multiple texture slots for other vehicles (like the Standard Kart) or even for other characters (like how Yoshi and Shy Guy work.)

Do non-course bfstms have to use multiple channels?

Just making sure, texture hacks are safe to use online correct?

Anything but course textures because of loading times.

Adding on this, will minor KCL edits affect online?

Yes, KCL takes a long time to load (about 20-40 seconds I'd say, depending on your connection) and using edited KCL online could be considered a form of cheating. Suppose it depends on what you're editing.

So anyone has tried these two?
http://mk8.tockdom.com/wiki/Icy_Thwomp_Ruins_''Recreated''_(Thwomp_Ruins_Texture) I've noticed this one has snowmen on the offroad but disappear when touched.
http://mk8.tockdom.com/wiki/GCN_Dry_Dry_Grassland_''Recreated''_(GCN_Dry_Dry_Desert_Texture)
Just in case will taking out the file still make it functional?

Taking out the KCL files will leave the textures functional, yes. The person who recreated those textures also gave them different traction through the KCL (for some stupid reason) which isn't advised to be using online. Removing the KCL files does not affect the actual course texture itself.
