ROM Hack Your custom Mario Kart 7 tracks

[CuriousTommy]

Look at what I am working on now!

Spoiler: Images

I find battle tracks easier to do then racing tracks since I don't have to worry about crashing. Although, I don't know how to edit the starting point for battle tracks. Other then that, it does have a few issues that are fixable. For example, some objects I accidently put together (coin clips into tree), and the CPU routes are incomplete, but I plan to fix it later. Other than the ugly gem textures I tried to create, I like the way the course looks.

Edit: I also forgot to say that there are some spots where game lags

Nice. It looks like if DK's Jungle Parkway was made into a battle course.

An interesting fact: I was actually thinking of Spyro when I made this track.

A little off topic but can anyone help me find some tools to hack textures in MK7 please

 

[BlastXDX]

I tried to make Luigi Circuit GBA for my 1st CT...

And it's a buggy mess.

sigh... I give up I guess.

Heres the buggy version if you want it...

You can use EveryFileExplorer.

That's what I did. I'll probably try to do another track some other time.

I would love to see some custom Balloon battle maps

Well... the trees (I grabbed it from Toad Circuit) and other kmp objects were not created by me, most of the textures were used from various Nintendo tracks (although I did some simple edits with some of the textures on Krita), and I copied the jump pad from the battle course I used to put this track into. Other than that, I did make the model and designed it.

That's how most custom tracks are made.

I've got a shitty CT coming tonight if anyone's interested

Retro or New CT?

Retro or New CT?

Retro. GBA Bowser Castle 3.

Oh, goodie.
I loved that track in MKWii.

I'm waiting for a HD texture replacement that would be pretty cool

The 3ds can't handle that, maybe on an emulator

Also I forgot to post the track here:

The 3DS can only handle up to 256x256 Textures, anything bigger will result in a Crash or White Screen (depending on what you use to play CTs).

 

[DeslotlCL]

is there a noob friendly tutorial to make a custom track from scratch? I've a good idea for a ct and i would love to make it happen

 

[YamiHoshi.nl]

That would contradict to much, making a CT for SMK, MKDS, and MKW is hard, making one for MK7 is equally hard, if not, harder.
This is due to the limitations MK7 has, and the lack of decent non-illegal Tools.
