i assume there's no "if you get hit by the stone you get hurt" yet right

tribal sorrel
#

yea theres no bounce and the speed boost is there

wraith trellis
ripe lance
#

mario when he's weird

#

jensetradio is making sackboy guys

tribal sorrel
#

ya

#

i asked if i could use her sackboy for sackboy aerith :)

ripe lance
#

hype

tribal sorrel
#

might not publicly release tho

ripe lance
#

๐Ÿ˜ˆ

#

you do need the extra girl tho

tribal sorrel
#

if i dont make goomba rn i don't

#

technically i have my shit set with everythung ive been sitting on rn

autumn trellis
#

minecraft aerith incoming

tribal sorrel
#

cus its
s.aerith, r.aerith, gwenpool
barret, tanooki mario, goomba

#

in an already tilted towards girls pack

#

so the ratio is maintained

ripe lance
#

right gotcha

autumn trellis
#

not much today

tribal sorrel
#

should there be custom ui/signpost elements for statue mario

ripe lance
#

uhhhhh

#

well how does it even work internally

#

like i'm almost certain the only way he can work is if he's a different skin from tanooki mario

#

and tanooki mario just so happens to be able to switch to him

#

like heavy magician

tribal sorrel
#

thats how its set up right now

ripe lance
autumn trellis
#

okay i tried having more complex thoughts on this but they ended up boiling down to "well if you may as well." but: what if you only got statue signpost if you completed a certain condition, in the vein of heavy magician's sign
like if more than half of your finish line crosses were while in statue mode

tribal sorrel
#

thatd be funny i just dont know how doable it is rn

#

like im surprised ive gotten this far given how simple lua seems to be according to everyone

ripe lance
#

the main problem is this game doesn't have documentation

#

lua people have to rely on prior knowledge from srb2kart

tribal sorrel
#

yea

tribal sorrel
#

tanooki marios most of hte ways done

ripe lance
#

wahoo!!

tribal sorrel
#

just got all his voice clips

#

i got a lot of them from n64 spinoffs so theyre very rarely used

ripe lance
#

this is good

tribal sorrel
#

this is the only clip i used from mk8

autumn trellis
#

in an effort to make his head keep scale with diavolo, and then an effort to make his neck guard thing look not Completely ridiculous, ive ended up making king crimson's upper half almost racer-scaled
im gonna have to chibi the arms and legs as best i can while maintaining at least some sense of coherency

wraith trellis
#

do u guys think this would be a good horn

autumn trellis
#

i guess i won't say no ?

wraith trellis
#

you seem hesitant

autumn trellis
#

also no one questioned me on king crimson being my new little blue haired danganronpa boy

#

i need to add more danganronpa horns. really increase everyones vitriol

wraith trellis
#

do you have something against big gay ice cream is the best

autumn trellis
#

well no. i suppose i will not say no on account of i have no troubles with it

#

i just dont feel especially pushed to endorse it

#

god. i pointedly did not do a danganronpa follower when i made the character. but i Could.

wraith trellis
#

regressing to ur former danganronpa self

autumn trellis
#

kind of...

#

it would be really funny. it would be really really funny

autumn trellis
#

i got 80% of the way through every single DR character in miitopia and then i got to this annoying little blue boy and i got blasted with such an intense wave of fatigue that i gave up then and there

burnt lake
#

great soundbite

tribal sorrel
#

might try and rework juris sprites a lil bit

#

just to make her a lil taller in the kart

tribal sorrel
#

this is going to be more annoying than i thought

ripe lance
#

why the height change

tribal sorrel
ripe lance
#

ahh

tribal sorrel
#

the problem im also facing is that juris shading is backwards from ring racers standard

#

which admittedly

#

not a hard fix

wraith trellis
#

Wdym by that

tribal sorrel
#

her lightsource is facing away from camera

#

ring racers has less of a defined lightsource but puts things farther in space back in darker shading

wraith trellis
#

Right

#

That makes sense

timid tree
#

what is this? some kind of girl pack?

ripe lance
#

what are you doing here

#

no one's made roxas yet

timid tree
#

did i say that

tribal sorrel
#

i made gwenpool

timid tree
#

thats why im here

tribal sorrel
#

yes

wraith trellis
#

has anyone here used kartbuilder

tribal sorrel
ripe lance
#

looking good

wraith trellis
#

man this is making me think of scaling up my jotaro lol

wraith trellis
#

@tribal sorrel you said his legs should be angled further apart right

tribal sorrel
#

thats good

wraith trellis
#

im wondering if the aa here is unecessary and makes his expression look weird

zinc vapor
#

ring racers dark joke complation

ripe lance
#

@tribal sorrel they did metal mario for you

tribal sorrel
#

second time ive been pinged for this

ripe lance
#

wow !

tribal sorrel
#

the mb refuses to let me see this character

ripe lance
#

it does get really slow

tribal sorrel
#

consdiering how many people are pinging me i would like to know if i need to pay attention to this and if it uses shit from my mario without asking

ripe lance
#

this is wild

#

existing color btw

tribal sorrel
#

ok well

#

lol

timid tree
#

every single one of the angry birds is a follower

ripe lance
#

i wish you were right

timid tree
#

oh so the angry birds expert in chat doesnt see the magenta angry bird that uses a rocket ship ability

ripe lance
#

?

#

i legit don't get what you're talking about

timid tree
#

they have evwry angry birds as a follower!!!

#

in the pack oyu sent!!!!

ripe lance
#

metal mario's rivals seem to be all your marios

#

either that or I got insanely lucky

#

his stats are also 7 8 as you know

tribal sorrel
#

i wish my discord worked so i could watch this video

zinc vapor
ripe lance
#

@timid tree sorry applez you were right

#

holy fucking shit

timid tree
#

yea

ripe lance
#

he's bigger than game boy wario

autumn trellis
#

me after finally finding one clip of someone using my characters without being prompted by me personally being there

autumn trellis
wraith trellis
#

Mario forced to sit there

tribal sorrel
#

i have the pk3 if anyone wants to test today

ripe lance
#

sure

zinc vapor
#

Sure

autumn trellis
#

i think i could do that

#

and when i get home ill see if i can put together my hornmod update in a reasonable timeframe

#

are the colors on the tanooki suit fully distinct? like, if i use a two tone color, will the stripes be cleanly divided

ripe lance
tribal sorrel
#

yea i did

#

now that my discord is functional again

#

idk why they made him look like that

#

not color/rendering i mean

ripe lance
#

what do you mean then

tribal sorrel
#

that hsnt been cleaned up

ripe lance
#

ah

#

i almost wonder if that's intentional

#

either that or they literally just

#

rendered him

#

the guy who made him made these

tribal sorrel
#

i helped make the main mario a2 for this lol

ripe lance
#

oh lol

#

ok this is the one thing that they actually drew themselves i think

#

everything else is a collab

#

or sprite rip

tribal sorrel
ripe lance
#

looking cool

autumn trellis
#

smg while im adding horns do you want me to add you saying hawk tuah to yours

wraith trellis
#

yes

#

actually wait

#

while im at it let me add the ones ive been meaning to add

autumn trellis
#

okay im making a new version of koopahorns. when im done ill send it to you and you add that to your own update and then you post that

#

i am also cutting down the really long ones that weren't actually fun for me to get. so no more of aw fuck i buffed it i fucking buffed it dude for like 5 seconds

#

and until multihorns exist im completely cutting the jojo 14 words. sorry pucci

autumn trellis
autumn trellis
#

when are we playing tonight?
today is one of the last days i can VC at full volume so id also like to do that if people are down for it

wraith trellis
#

today i wake up later too

ripe lance
#

i'm playing srb2kart for a bit

#

it's miserable

wraith trellis
ripe lance
#

it's older and shittier

#

it's also messing me up because i lost the muscle memory for it

autumn trellis
#

me when i load with warnings

#

WARNING: ...ful_horns_to_ease_you_to_sleep+koopas_alarm_clock_V2.3.pk3|Lua/Horns.lua:162: unfinished string near '"GARBAGE DAY! - Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2},'

zinc vapor
#

I might be able to play

wraith trellis
#

FUUUCK

autumn trellis
#

ur just missing quotation marks here

autumn trellis
#

whats wild to me about srb2k is looking at how the maps looked

wraith trellis
#

yea i just fixed it

#

yeah they were

#

ugly

#

as fuck

#

and extremely difficult to navigate

autumn trellis
#

see but i never noticed that at the time. i only realize it looking back and i go "did i really not notice this when i was actually playing it??"

zinc vapor
#

If we're playing tonight then u want to eat first

ripe lance
#

in ring racers they look Fine

autumn trellis
#

sethorn 301-466

#

for smg

#

er.

#

favehorn 301-466

#

for me its favehorn 467-553

#

i do hope other people. like miitopia fiend sound effect

#

im conscious that its Both attack sounds And the follower sound. And a horn if you're in this server

wraith trellis
#

heres a slight update to my pack that touches up kiryus sprites and cortex's placement icon

autumn trellis
#

awesome

#

im ready to go whenever

wraith trellis
#

same here

#

@tribal sorrel @ripe lance @zinc vapor

zinc vapor
#

I'll hang out in vc

#

Wait Where's the ring racers vc

autumn trellis
#

i think we got rid of it when we were purging actual VCs that existed for a while

ripe lance
#

sure

autumn trellis
#

i think it was just because of that one guy who was like "you cant be throwing a tantrum in voice chat." with zero prompting lmao

#

uh oh. my internets being weird just opening discord. this might be an ill omen

zinc vapor
#

Who's hosting

tribal sorrel
#

hi

#

i gotta figure out food

#

then i can play

autumn trellis
#

thumbup

#

its three mods from us for this session. new horns, fiend scythe from me, touchup pack from smg. and then setta is requesting combiring for angry birds followers

ripe lance
#

do you guys want to test what i have of star slalom so far

#

no checkpoints yet so it's still unplayable

#

just driveable

#

otherwise no news from me

autumn trellis
#

id be down for that

ripe lance
#

hey why did no one tell me

wraith trellis
#

@ripe lance

#

cmon

autumn trellis
#

god theres so many clips. my game is gonna crash so much because the game loves crashing when you restart replays

#

LMAOOOOO on gigapolis you can see mit get the danganronpa horn and then i think she doesnt use it the rest of the game

#

wait one of those is just the speed highway clip again lol

#

OH and flashing lights warning on the ramp park one

tribal sorrel
autumn trellis
#

am i under NDA or can i post (some of) these clips to kart krew

tribal sorrel
#

i should post some in custom racers

#

@ripe lance would you wanna try and help with the aerith braid script i had in mind

#

its less pressing than tanooki mario by a lot but because a lot of existing concepts are already in srb2kart i figure it might be easier

ripe lance
#

i still don't know lua

#

and i can't spend time learning it because i'm grinding out my track

autumn trellis
#

heres an explanation of how the fuck i got hit by a jawz from the front while i was in first btw
(the freeze when you trick let the jawz pass me, and it Turned Around midair to face me, so we collided with insane speed)

autumn trellis
# ripe lance

lmao yeah if any race deserved this it was this one

ripe lance
# ripe lance

should I post the full vid on the ring racers server or just the first lap

#

which is the most insane one by far

autumn trellis
#

i havent rewatched the full thing yet, probably just the first

#

i also will not post the clip of tanooki getting infinitely stuck because i dont want to give off the impression that the mod doesnt work

#

wow both your insane collision and my insane jawz hit are Simultaneous

#

oh just before i go to sleep i just realized

#

why are the followers missing from some clips?????

#

both my and supers replay of heaven pass have me with no follower

#

mit is also followerless although idk if she just didnt choose one

#

its so weird, Sometimes the followers just vanish from replays

#

and i would love to figure out whats going on!!

ripe lance
#

idk

ripe lance
#

raku chan and haruko are here

tribal sorrel
#

not gonna post this in krew cus i think its gonna bring out annoying ppl to compare

#

cus the old one isnt bad

wraith trellis
#

The purple hueshift in the hair is really nice

ripe lance
#

i didn't even notice

#

it looks good

autumn trellis
#

guess i could post how this is going

tribal sorrel
autumn trellis
#

i meant to say this earlier and forgot but the shading around juris visible eye as it gets further from the camera is crazy

zinc vapor
ripe lance
#

i'm done adding rings to the entire track now (preliminarily)

#

waypoints are next then the track is just fully playable for you to play and race in

autumn trellis
trail copper
tribal sorrel
#

i might also see if i cant ask around for like

#

a sega genesis-ified sfx for transforming

#

@autumn trellis can you send me the replay file from when i spun out infinitely?

#

not the video, the file itself

#

would be in here

autumn trellis
#

okay i would just like to request Two reprieves for sending messages before "please yell at me if i send another message within 5 hours" is up. i finished the tres leches anyways
EDIT: no i finished all my responsabilites i am just being silly so that i dont get counter-bit-ed and receive 20 ztars

tribal sorrel
#

my bad but ty also

#

i apparently didnt save the replay and i gotta send it over to the coder so they can bugfix

this guys batting a thousand tonight

wraith trellis

What else has been going on with them

tribal sorrel
#

thought rhe segway was a nose

wraith trellis
#

Fascinating recognition skills

burnt lake
#

it does kinda look like a nose

tribal sorrel
#

tanooki mario v2 just dropped

autumn trellis
#

hype

tribal sorrel
#

hes got all the fx and finally the toggle to disable statue mario

wraith trellis
#

how does taht work

tribal sorrel
#

open up console statuemario 0

wraith trellis
#

does the lining of his suit look better blue or black

tribal sorrel
#

bleu

wraith trellis
#

i was thinking the same i just wanted to make sure bc the black is technically more accurate

#

its really weirdly difficult to find pictures of m bison from behind

zinc vapor
#

mario kart wii on pc looking fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ

timid tree
#

might have to play this game

wraith trellis
#

bison status

#

anyone got any opinions on this so far

#

im not really sure how im gonna render his geometrically shaped armor as they get darker into the background

autumn trellis
#

just instinctively tried to use my horn in splatoon

wraith trellis
ripe lance
#
#

for mit

autumn trellis
#

oh are you playing again

zinc vapor
#

no

wraith trellis
#

maybe

autumn trellis
#

ping me if u do

loud prawn
#

the video game

autumn trellis
#

dammit !! i had like Just fallen asleep by then

ripe lance
#

ok just this last night a while after vc i saw someone in #custom-racers post WIPs of epsilon eagle (character that was talked about to be added for base game) and they deleted them instantly idk what was up with that

#

oh they just posted it again rn

#

lol

autumn trellis
#

cruel to tell us here you know exactly who it is and then only go Bird Guy in kart krew

ripe lance
#

if i let them know who it was it would make it sound like i knew/cared about the character

autumn trellis
#

i want to call you out for that but i guess casual "i made a separate account to join servers so they dont get mad at me if my social battery is too low to say gg" koopa can't talk

zinc vapor
#

@loud prawn do you mind being pinged when it's ring racers night or something

loud prawn
#

i dont mind, I'll let you know if im busy tho

zinc vapor
#

Ok

autumn trellis
#

battle mode is soooooooooooo good

#

although i wish i had more players. i should schedule it for more active hours

tribal sorrel
ripe lance
#

what does he look like in pin

We should do heavy magician only lobbies

ripe lance

ripe lance
#

witch kiriko

trail copper
#

Which Kiriko?

tribal sorrel
#

ok ive successfully implemented tanooki mario into the main pack

#

the question is though

#

should the command be a per-player command

#

or serverside

ripe lance
#

serverside

#

the idea is to disable it globally per server

#

i mean

#

i guess you can do both

#

where serverside just supercedes player preference

tribal sorrel
#

i guess trouble is i dont really know if i can just

#

set the command to a server command and presto changeo it's a server command

#

im trying to scope out other lua scripts to see if thats how it works and i cant tell

#

guess ill find out?

#

the answer was no

#

so idk how that works

#

ill... sleep on it? idk

ripe lance
wraith trellis
#

Well uh.. I don't know!

tribal sorrel
#

does anyone want to play

#

early gaming session

#

barrets almost done

wraith trellis
#

I'm on my way home rn from the train

tribal sorrel
#

and tanooki marios been placed into the bigger pack

wraith trellis
#

But when I get home I would like to

ripe lance
#

sure

#

but i think today i'll get star slalom actually playable

tribal sorrel
#

better hurry

wraith trellis
#

Shouting at the conductor to drive faster

autumn trellis
#

I cannot on account of I get home in 5 hours

#

hype that star slalom is progressing thought

tribal sorrel
#

i did it

wraith trellis
#

K I'm home

zinc vapor
tribal sorrel
#

guh ok

#

im done doing boring shit

#

im gonna clean my desk pee and hten its play time

zinc vapor
#

"My desk pee" what the fuck were you doing

#

@wraith trellis @ripe lance wake up

#

@left badge its ring racers time

ripe lance
#

i couldn't finish it in time....... i'm sorry everyone........

wraith trellis
left badge
#

Errrrrm I'll watch

wraith trellis
#

@tribal sorrel what does barrets a3 look like

#

im trying to figure out how to get the coattail and upper leg to work

#

idk if itd even make sense for the coattails to be angled like this

ripe lance
wraith trellis
ripe lance
#

i just had my first cpu race on my track and i lost

#

i don't know how to feel about that

#

i'm pleased the track still manages to feel brisk though

#

my biggest worries were that it would feel too stretched out with the somewhat repetitive mario 64 slide song and the somewhat simple layout of the slides

#

but... it's fun!

#

i'll add a minimap then i'll let you guys play

wraith trellis
# wraith trellis

In every server I've posted this in I've gotten the m bison yes gif in response

wraith trellis
autumn trellis
#

it only now occurs to me that like. i could just watch a street fighter movie. i dont need to do the homework of watching a 50 episode series beforehand

wraith trellis
#

What

autumn trellis
#

wdym What

#

its not a particularly complex thought

wraith trellis
#

Were you considering binging the shitty 90s cartoon or something

autumn trellis
#

wait there IS a cartoon???

wraith trellis
#

Yeah it was bad

#

That's where the yes gif is from

autumn trellis
#

oh aw i thought it was a singular movie i could just watch and be done with

wraith trellis
#

You can this is unrelated

autumn trellis
#

m bison No gif

wraith trellis
#

The only connection the movie and the cartoon have is trying to bank off of the sudden success of the street fighter brand

#

And also kind of sucking

autumn trellis
# wraith trellis

anyway im really impressed with how you get these facial details so consistent
being able to add detail to things like his cheeks and jaw is really good

wraith trellis
autumn trellis
#

okay i guess i still could watch the movie then. lol

wraith trellis
#

Some guy in kartcord posted a fucking insane looking guy from deadlocked and I'm rethinking the rendering for bisons face again

#

That feeling when ur working your ass off and someone in kart krew comes out of nowhere and mogs you effortlessly

autumn trellis
#

ive been trying really hard to not feel that way but i have to admit i did with the person making characters that look like sakura. im like "ohhhh. thats how you do hair (at least for a lot of the hairstyles ive been doing/will do soon)"

#

and lemme tell you i would Love to hop into character making and give that a shot but im still on the brick wall of king crimson

#

although partially thats just because ive been busy with other things. i think this or next afternoon i can finally get back to him

ripe lance
autumn trellis
#

also i figured out whats going on with the fake shortcut. its weird in that im not sure its good to Shoot For but it saves you if you're in a bad spot. also when i got accidentally sent there once i was like "what ??? am i stuck???" because i didnt realize the spinny thing was there

zinc vapor
#

Enough time had passed

ripe lance
#

looks fine

#

is anything a problem here

tribal sorrel
#

statue mario doesnt suffer from spinout

ripe lance
#

that took me a while to notice

tribal sorrel
ripe lance
#

i don't think this is a good solution

#

it's too weird

#

it's not like statue mario has complete invulnerability so this is too situational to really plan ahead and take advantage of

tribal sorrel
#

yea

#

tentatively i think statue mario ending preemptively from spinout would be ideal

ripe lance

#

the moderation on kart krew kinda sucks doesn't it

tribal sorrel
#

tbf every time i see this channel its popping like crazy

#

people in kart krew can be fucking venomous

autumn trellis
#

i get it but also it does feel a little odd that whenever people ask about the slowmode the moderators are never direct about it and the one i think is most active is like. constantly talking down to everyone

#

i do agree that kart krews userbase doesnt have much courtesy. i felt really awkward after helping the one guy with their frog follower as they were going "you know what i dont even care. ill just let someone else do it for me" and then the next day they turn around and go "let me be clear, i'm not saying your spritework sucks, im saying your art sucks"

wraith trellis
#

Kart krew needs an annoying clause desperately

wraith trellis
tribal sorrel
#

kinda nutso

#

r u doing the thing i do w the kart

#

to make it red

wraith trellis
#

Yes

#

I'm making it a darker green

tribal sorrel
#

yay

wraith trellis
#

I spent like the last hour just staring at this picture

tribal sorrel
autumn trellis
#

exaggerating the shape of her bangs into ears is so awesome

ripe lance
#

hi sparith

trail copper
#

Unlike Cream, this characterโ€™s ears actually face the correct direction

autumn trellis
#

i would just like to put out there that i would be a big fan if if we played in the next few days we played on friday or sunday and not saturday because im busy saturday night

wraith trellis
#

okay

ripe lance
#

i'll see if i can grind out some last fixes to my track before you guys get to it

#

it's playable there's just some few things i'd like changed before you get your hands on it

ripe lance
#
#

they got zinogre in this

#

someone ping sdace

autumn trellis
#

i joined CGBracers discord just to find out whats going on with their mods (apparently they randomize them daily) and it pinged me in their general chat and people are addressing me by name and now i feel like i cant leave for like a week or ill attract suspicion

tribal sorrel

unfortunately plush aerith falls into the aether on this track

Anyone want to play ring racers tonight?

#

god the distance shading is really clear here its great

ripe lance
#

i actually had ideas for a city track

#

i kinda wanted to do yippee city from find everything

autumn trellis
ripe lance
#

i like that game

#

problem is i'm not drawing every character there myself

#

also after i'm done polishing this track and i release the pack i have no idea if i'll do more

#

ideally i would but who knows

autumn trellis
#

i knew that bumper one was crazy but i didnt register How crazy until i went into freecam

tribal sorrel
#

choose now

timid tree
#

prairieth gopherburrow

#

if she wqs a gopher

autumn trellis
#

im not educated on aerith/aeris but while usually i prefer the mental shape of "aerith" theres something aesthetically pleasing about "s the s"

i do- and i might be getting the regional slang completely wrong here- i do kind of envision her wearing a shirt saying "big dog" in the same vein as "sh*tty boy"

tribal sorrel
#

yea

ripe lance
#

i just got a tempting suggestion to make star slalom 6 laps (basically you go through all of it a second time)

ripe lance
#

(morrigan)

tribal sorrel
#

whats the context for any of this

i tried doing battle mode once and Hotdogfarts was the only person to join and it was a strange conversation

#

i started talking about the packs i had loaded and they were like "wow, ive always wanted to play with a dev"
and i just didnt know what to make of that

i ended up going with rapunzels voice from disney infinity for aeris

#

kh1 is a little weak on usable voice clips

#

and disney infinity seems to be the only game where rapunzel is voiced by her original VA

#

(who is also aerith in kh1)

im only now really getting a good look at whats going on in barret's icon there. the expression with his eyes is really good

autumn trellis
#

this game is so fucking fast on master. i didnt save a clip of it but my eyes were popping out of their sockets on storm rig

autumn trellis
#

somehow ive never considered if test run has an encore mode
it does, and its ||blue||

i spent a reaaaaally long time trying to get four hits in one direction. i slowed the game down to 0.125 and everything. but i think its like... the window for "continuing to send the opponent forward" is juuuust barely not feasible on the third hit, while "hitting too early and sending them backwards" is. this is the best i got

tribal sorrel
#

has anyone done this yet

ripe lance
#

what is this

tribal sorrel

this is so awesome

im so mad. i was doing really well on opulence and then i got blindsided by a garden top. i, being gived a bubble shield by hyudoro, tried to use its boost to get going again, but right before it activated i fell backwards off the like, wavy ramp thing, and it boosted me Under the ramp (which of course is just a respawn plane)

#

but what really gets me is that i Can't Save The Replay because allowing the race to finish would mean i lose the GP. i have to reset the race and you cant save your replay And reset

autumn trellis
#

it occurs to me that it's impossible to restat on the first race of a GP

#

tanooki marios spinout bug is fixed (ring sting spinout reverts him back to out of stone)

ripe lance
#

yay!!

tribal sorrel
#

ive decided im going to leave his console command the same

#

i dont think his gimmick is severe enough to really like

#

need to be disabled wholecloth

#

its analagous to heavy magician's gameplay in that its not really a straightforward buff

#

i came ot this conclusion talking to my friend who worked on rr

ripe lance
#

i think most people are going to perceive it exactly that way though

tribal sorrel
#

then theyll play him and see hes fine

ripe lance
#

he's not because he's an entirely new gimmicky thing

#

and that's too much friction for people who are into playing the game "competitively"

#

i say "competitively" because the actual comp players probably just play core only anyway

autumn trellis
#

wait what's the console command if not to enable/disable entirely?

tribal sorrel
#

people who are playing comp arent going to pick him

#

or if theyre okay with picking heavy magician, then it doesnt matter

ripe lance
#

i don't mean literally playing comp

tribal sorrel
ripe lance
#

i just mean people who want to play the game at their best performance

tribal sorrel
#

then they wont pick him

ripe lance
#

they will complain about the gimmick character that is not part of the game that they normally play

#

other people using the gimmick character, I mean

tribal sorrel
#

then they will be asked to turn it off

wraith trellis
#

fuckin who cares

tribal sorrel
#

yea

autumn trellis
#

what does "leaving his console command the same" mean? that implies that there is a) a console command but b) that it's "not disabling wholecloth"

tribal sorrel
#

there is a console command

#

and it disabled him per user

#

when i said wholecloth i meant serverside

autumn trellis
#

OHHHHH right. yeah ic

tribal sorrel
#

which might even be a thing possible with hostmod so who cares

autumn trellis
#

im inclined to agree that yeah its fine. even among people who want to change the game to balance it, they seem to target things like shrink and invinc sooner than garden top

#

so "a weird clunky character that could have a cool high skill ceiling" is probably chill

tribal sorrel
#

yea again if heavy magician is fine and they're comfortable using mods

#

then tanooki mario is fine

#

and if hes not fine for you

#

turn him off

#

the "problem" is just htat hes different

#

not that hes good

#

which isnt a problem

autumn trellis
#

this remidns me im kind of curious to try jatuitias characters can we do that sometime

ripe lance
#

yea and people who download girlpack don't want different...

autumn trellis
#

cowards!

tribal sorrel
ripe lance
#

idk i still get the vibe that people are definitely going to complain about this post release

#

but whatever.

autumn trellis
#

cull the weak!

tribal sorrel
#

unless you can demonstrate to me that this will be a real problem i dont care

wraith trellis
#

if people rae chill w/ girlpack not having individual character files then i dont think theyll care

tribal sorrel
#

people complain about everything

#

complaining that people will complain purely because "its different" is kind of stupid

#

do people complain about heavy magician

ripe lance
#

people don't complain about heavy magician because

  1. she's just ironman. very predictable one at that
  2. she's part of the base game. everyone playing this game even at high levels accepts her existence
tribal sorrel
#

shes not ironman LOL

#

she is a mode that randomizes your stats

#

per each lap

#

thats not what ironman mode is

wraith trellis
#

mokoujin

tribal sorrel
#

and if being in base game means its fine then thats already a shitty reason

ripe lance
#

sorry i'm used to srb2kart ironman being pretty much just heavy magician

tribal sorrel
#

like i dont know why were actually treating "the base game is allowed to have unique balanced gameplay gimmicks, but not a mod" like a valid criticism

autumn trellis
#

sometimes you gotta put it all on the line. sometimes you have to intentionally take the eggmark. and you accept the outcome in the name of playing to get a good clip

tribal sorrel
#

just spent all day on this juri phone follower

#

finally testing

ripe lance
#

hly

tribal sorrel
#

ive never seen a floating follower become translucent like that before

#

is it just from close proximity

ripe lance
#

it's because of autoring

tribal sorrel
#

oh really

#

ok then

#

i only had it on for the demonstration

#

i had this bouncing on the ground at first because i thought it was funny that the phone bounced along the ground

#

but i think its better this way

#

so you always see it

thats so awesome

#

by the way, while im grabbing these clips

#

it occurs to me that my clips naturally trend me-centric because im the person who goes and Gets all of them
so in future if any of you want you can tell me to Clip That and ill save the replay and a webm of any cool things i dont personally see during the match

#

OH and i almost forgot this which i saved during the race because i, like, thought it might be a glitch that wouldnt save in a replay

#

is this just normal?? this is just how the hazard works??

tribal sorrel
#

yea thats how it werks

autumn trellis
#

jesus my game is struggling with these replays its sigseving even more than usual

#

it also consistently complains about smgs pack but im not sure why

wraith trellis
#

@tribal sorrel heres settas horns added to the ones we already use

autumn trellis
#

okay NOT consistently i guess but like. every so often itll say something like "smg_pack is already loaded by a different name" or something. and it doesnt Seem to affect anything but its weird? id like to check my logs for it but the log of Just Now seems to have disappeared????

#

this is me loading our speed highway replay after having watched through the entirety of the star slalom replay

#

its worth noting that this is probably to do with my organization and not to do with some inherent trait of smgs pack

#

the tremendous ring lag seems not to have been caused by anyone getting massacred, its just lightning shield. presumably it was the same story on dark castle or whatever the "castle with a dark palette that is not dark fortress" is called

ripe lance
#

darkvile castle

#

@tribal sorrel this happened to me. supposedly this got fixed in a later version of the pack

#

v1.1 they say

autumn trellis
#

oh i remember that happened to me too in a previous session

tribal sorrel
#

?

autumn trellis
#

when you cross the finish line and it like, doesnt register, and after a while it respawns you right before it

ripe lance
#

it's a waypoint issue that got fixed in a later version which i guess you don't have

autumn trellis
#

i thiiiink its happened a nonzero amount of times in basegame but its also happened to me on This Map Specifically

wraith trellis
#

back angles are looking a bit like poop from a but and idk what to do about it

#

i odnt really kno what like

i dont like how space the darkest red takes up

#

i wrote a new review to reconnect to my review guy roots

#

me not ranking this as 5 stars means i don't really want to tell mit to load this because i don't think it's the tightest shit ever

but it's still pretty good as far as ring racers tracks go

autumn trellis

#

oh my god

autumn trellis
#

i saved that first clip like "oh my god i did something crazy" and then when i was recording the webm i went "ohhh. no thats obviously intended i just got pushed instead of needing a sneaker
and only now seeing you react with surprise am i going "oh wait thats NOT an intended shortcut"

ripe lance
#

well it is now

#

though i think you can also do it with just the yellow trick panel

autumn trellis
#

it is really cool yeah

#

im pretty sure this was on gear 3 im not sure how extreme your boost would need to be on gear 2

#

i suppose i can just go lab it out

#

lol okay

#

also oh my god i just realized

ripe lance
#

yea the waypoints here have extremely irregular IDs

autumn trellis
#

when i try to teleport sometimes it goes imma block this wack ass mixup and i thought that was just the sound but im realizing it might be a virtual highway fire situation

#

im not sure if theres a "show me the coordinates of where i am Right Now" button, that would be really really helpful for me

#

teleport 8000 -8000 1500

autumn trellis
#

it does seem pretty precise to hit quickly enough to actually save you time

#

its a tight angle and you have to be moving pretty quick even on gear 3

this is a modified version of the OC server's lua that makes it so that only modded characters work. the modification being it randomly assigns a mod instead of setting knuckles; which you would use for single player so that the CPUs are only modded characters

wow!

okay so on the one hand: i instantly feel my Groove coming back to me the instant i finished with the accursed stripe ghost

#

on the other hand: hrm. im not sure what to do here
its the like. im not even sure what this article of clothing is called, but the underside of the yellow bit that fades into the sleeves is hard for me to imagine What To Do With given i have very little real estate to work with

#

cause like. if the yellow bit is too small you cant see it behind the chibi head. but since its the same thing as the sleeves bit, that seems to necessitate moving those sleeves too far out relative to the tiny chibi amrs

trail copper
#

The sleeves seem much larger than the arms even in the reference photo, so you can probably get away with it

autumn trellis
#

oh yeah i guess i forgot to actually. say the part i think is a problem

#

i worry that having the Entire Arm obscured in silhouette will feel weird

tribal sorrel
#

i cant really tell whats going on with the physicality of it in the og screenshot

autumn trellis
#

yeah neither can i!!! theres like no concept art for this or anything it shows up in like half of a 3 minute music video and thats all ive got

#

its like. maybe it is a separate thing??

#

or at least its not connected in the way id assumed

#

oh wait no it is like. all part of one dress thing. i continue to not know Dress Terminology so im not sure what it is

#

i should note that i also have to add wings after this so i need to leave room for that

tribal sorrel
#

it looks like a cloak thats just transluscent

autumn trellis
#

okay i think i can just do like. and then its chill

trail copper
#

maybe you could make the arms a little longer so that they stick out of the cloak slightly

autumn trellis
#

i could do that. they are supposed to be weird insect arms so im not worried about de-chibiing them a little if it helps

there's two items left on the list before I can release Star Slalom, and with it my whole track pack on the forums:

  • I want to add some fun stuff to the position area on Star Slalom. Some vague ideas I've had were rings in patterns that are just like Mario items and/or iconography, that stuff. idk what exactly to do here though
  • Encore mode. I actually have some ideas of my own but I'm curious if you guys have any as well
autumn trellis
#

i was gonna ask if youd done star slalom yet because i didnt notice a change on SPB attack but i also didnt make it to tall trunk because i only did a few attempts before bed

ripe lance
#

well now you know

autumn trellis
#

i feel like intuitively i think the castle slide would look nicest in blue, but the closest reference point for something Meaningful is to make it luigi green

#

i wonder what if you like. cycled their colors

#

something like castle because light blue, ccm becomes brown, ttm becomes red. or the other way around

#

maybe you could add the character doors from sm64DS @ position area

ripe lance
#

the slide isn't even red anymore

#

it's orange like in the original

ripe lance
autumn trellis
#

oh like Gameplay things

ripe lance
#

yea

autumn trellis
#

okay hear me out

#

what if you just added a trick panel

#

so you can try to time a voltage drop

#

more conservatively, adding a few ring boxes like joypolis could be fun

ripe lance

ring box maybe but i'm not adding trick panels to just the start and no other part of the track afterwards

right now i know of exactly two servers with my pack

which is like. just bad enough to be really deterring

im still wibblewobbling on "is it impolite if i just ask stray banana to have my pack" + id like to get out my fixes update first. but if that goes well itd be a server with actually good ping for me which id really like

im really curious if a max level CPU will infinitely combo you if you give them 255 lightning shields, but it seems like you can't hyudoro more than one of those. id need a capsule or something

#

oh thats because i have the modded characters only thing i posted about

#

i changed the OC server's lua such that it randomly changes all CPUs into modded characters. for grand prix

#

i havent posted it publically because its like. the OC server one says its Itself edited, which Implies open assets, but i dont know that For Certain

if you rendered it at the highest quality possible that would be funny

to give an actual answer, i think given this game Has a 3d model mode and this is Not for that, i figured the joke is that it looks out of place. so i dont think pixel size inconsistency is as hard a sell

uh oh

ohh

i mean i guess its too early for me to be saying uh oh

but like. i feel like id much prefer lap bonuses being discrete and easily countable

wraith trellis

yea i mean right now itsl iterally just "if you get top half on a lap you get a point, and if you get 1st place you get 2"

ripe lance
#

oh yeah this is gp

#

didn't notice

#

but that's Round 2

#

as in Ring Cup

autumn trellis
#

i would Guess that this is like. a granular representation of what % of time you spent in what position

#

idk. i guess im talking around my actual worry of "im not as good at the game as my friends; this sounds like it means i have less chances for comebacks because a momentary comeback wont mean as much"

#

which is i guess not a problem because like. thats rewarding good gameplay

#

not that i Dont actually like it being easily countable but

tribal sorrel
#

thwyre probably rewiring how you access special stages and how ranks are calculated

#

because it was a nightmare berore

ripe lance
#

either that or this is a new mode (?)

#

exp doesn't sound like a straightforward mechanic for either gp or special stages

tribal sorrel
#

im going to tentatively assume its for gp

ripe lance
#

by the way there's this and another screenshot confirming proper button icons for (modern) controller and keyboard

tribal sorrel
#

the negative feedback loop from tbe existing continues system was really bad

autumn trellis

i would be a little surprised if its GP only given the talk about "the way the games Supposed to feel"

but id be willing to give that a shot

#

i think you could angle this juuuust a little?

maybe not even actually changing the rectangle just antialiasing to suggest a super light incline

#

I've been thinking about trying to make a Ring Racers character for a while and I was wondering if you guys had any tips

wraith trellis
#

use aseprite

#

u can make variations of the default ring racers palette so that the green characters are supposed to be by default are mapped to the color you want them to be

#

so like right now im spriting m bison while hes red and white but all i have to do is change the palette to the default ring racers one and he goes back to green

trail copper
#

Is there a tutorial for how I'd do that?

#

also how what sounds does a racer need, I was looking for sounds I could use yesterday but realized I didn't know exactly what I needed

autumn trellis
#
