WIP Beta released Mario Kart Map Project Update 6.1 (37 tracks)

Update 5 time! Contents:
New tracks: SNES Rainbow Road, N64 Mario Raceway (Wii), GCN Peach Circuit (DS)

This update is kinda small because I'm having issues with the other ones I am working on. Also, because of this and school starting back up updates will probably get a little less frequent unfortunately. However, the courses are still pretty fun, Peach Circuit makes for a surprisingly good drift track.
Known issues: SNES Rainbow Road looks bad because of the filtering BeamNG puts on textures, GCN Peach Circuit trees have no collision

 

As someone who grew up on Mario Kart, seeing them in this game is just amazing. Thanks for being back some of my childhood

 

Peach Circuit and Rainbow Road are wonderfully beginner-friendly for drifting

 

I just added ai to baby park, not that good but it works

 

Mind explaining how you did that? Setting that up for other tracks would be cool

 

I will after I get luigi circuit to work, but also for somereason mario raceway (probably one of the best ones for racing) on the hairpin it just doesn't want to make it a real hairpin

also do you have a discord? I can stream it to you on discord

found the problem, it's the banking, i'm going to keep it on the flat parts when I redo it

 

Pool time! Which would you guys prefer for platforms that move side to side, like in Grumble Volcano or Toad's Factory:
A collision mesh that is as big as the distance it moves, so it animates but there will be times when you will be floating on nothing

or
a stationary model that isn't animating, but has an accurate collision mesh

 

I prefer the animated one, it could maybe be fixed anyways.

stationary could be nice but I kinda want an animated one that you can only land on the part that is actually there, but that might me a hard thing to do

 

As far as I know, that would be impossible unless it's a prop with a Jbeam. Unfortunately the engine does not support animated collision meshes yet. If I could, I would totally do it, but for now it's a pick-your-poison type situation.

 

if animated is possible go for it, we dont get much of those

 

You should copy the map and do both if possible. That way the person can choose which they prefer.

Do n64 rainbow road when you arent busy (or waaaaaaluigi pinball)

 

Actually, N64 rainbow road and waluigi pinball are already in game! Rainbow road needs a skybox made and some uvs fixed, while waluigi pinball has a lot of issues and things that need doing. If I had time I could probably finish up rainbow road, but unfortunately I don't.

 

sorry for small bumping, but is this still being worked on?

 

Yeah, but very slowly. Personal life stuff has been giving me very little free time, and I lost a good amount of files a bit ago so that set me back.

 

Apologies if you have already had these answered:

What I need help with:
-How do you add AI to a map?
Just lay road decals and set the drivability to 1. The AI will then drive on them. If you don't want them to show up, just set the texture to glass_invisible, or create a texture with no image to use.

-How do you add time trials to a map?


Cheers

 

Merry almost Christmas! As a present to this community, here's 3 more maps! Sorry this took a while, life's been a bit busy. However, I really want to keep working on this and eventually get all the courses in still.
New courses: Airship Fortress, Nintendo Gamecube, Sherbet Land

Gamecube and Airship Fortress have been in progress for forever but had a bunch of issues. I also made sure to get a nice festive map out, good luck racing in such slippery conditions!
