ROM Hack Your custom Mario Kart 7 tracks

[YamiHoshi.nl]

@CuriousTommy Oh, a Surface 3, it has an Atom Processor, so you can't expect it to be an Ace at Modelling, to begin with.
@DarkFlare69 You need to actually select a Material first, and after that, you can turn it off. Otherwise, you can just drag and select all of them, and uncheck Fragment Lightning, then they will all have it turned off.

Is it possible to import the vehicles from Wuhu Island, into Mario Circuit (the track I ported over).

Yes, that's stored in the KMP. Find the value for it and you can add it.

@YamiHoshi.nl Okay, cool, i will do that. Is this how you make custom tracks too?

@DarkFlare69 The plugins export the texture in RGB, you should open the ctex in photoshop with the plugin and save with ETC

I'll crack photoshop when im home and then do it.

@DarkFlare69
You want to PM me for the crack?

@DarkFlare69 That's correct, that's how I make Models for my CTs.

And lol, Photoshop theft...
I've got the whole Adobe Creative Cloud Package, back in the time I was still a Student.
However, after one year, $ 12 USD a year a Student would pay, has been transformed into $ 39 USD a month. *POM POM POOOM*

I dont think anyone actually pays for their shit.. $800 for sketchup pro? No thanks. $240 for photoshop for a year? No thanks.

I am at my grandpa and grammas house at the moment, but I remember seeing the texture names twice... i dont remember exactly but i think there was some indented under the model and some below it. Which one do i click to compress? And can i select all and then do the compress?

I pay for Apps and Games, actually.
For Visual Studio and Maya, I have a Student License, so I don't need to pay for those.
But other than that, I prefer to have everything either legit, or Open-Source.

I mean, stealing Software feels like stealing an iPad from an Apple Store.
Which means, it feels wrong.

Which one do i click to compress? And can i select all and then do the compress?

Save As..., select "NW4C TGA", and from the next dialogue, choose ETC1.
You'll need to have the NW4C Photoshop Plugin already Installed, though.

Tried my hand at creating a bottom screen map

Spoiler: Map

Needs some improvement in quality. I also need to edit the UIMapPos.

Out of curiosity, how do you edit the UIMapPos?

Don't think there are any tools yet so I'll use a hex editor. It only consists of 2 lines (well a tiny bit over 2), one for each map (big and small) with 6 values that differ. I'd play around with those values and see what I can get out of it.

I know Custom Tracks are possible but has anyone tried a Custom Character Model?

Someone did a Roslina mod a while back over on dshack.

There's a pretty simple way actually. Open the tracks map you want to edit in Every File Explorer, right click and extract it as a bclim. Then open up the original version of Ohana 3DS, click texture, open the bclim file and you should be able to view, export and import map images as png.

Mushroom Bridge and Wii Luigi's Circuit are looking so pretty!

Oh no, I wasn't talking about editing the map image (which you actually don't even need Ohana for)

Spoiler: Editing the Map only using EFE

1. File > New From File > Nintendo 3DS Plugin > CTR Layout Images (CLIM) > your.png > Save
2. Open course.szs > Replace Course_map.bclim/Course_map2.bclim > Save (Maps 1 and 2 must be 256 x 256 and 1024 x 1024 respectively.)

I was talking about the UIMapPos (tells the game where to put the icons on the map).

 

[PabloMK7]

I had to edit UIMappos to make N64RR map. It consists on 8 float points values, 4 for map, and 4 for minimap, each map has 2 points with (X and Z values), which are the corners of the image. To made the N64RR map I used a transparent image program to put the map over kmp expander and calculate the X and Z values of each corner using objects. I can't remember which value is X and Z, I have it somewhere else in my PC, but I can't use it for some days...

Is it possible to create '.cmtpa" files? If so how do I import them into the bcmdl?

Those are texture pattern animations (I hope), since they are intermediate files, you can't add them to a bcmdl.
