Under Construction
This article is not finished. Help improve it by adding accurate information or correcting grammar and spelling.

This tutorial will explain you how to create your own custom track. If you only want to create a Texture Hack, you only need to follow the Texturing tutorial.

If you have any doubts or can't understand something of the tutorial, you can write it in the Discussion page. Someone will clarify it for you and possibly edit the tutorial so the understanding of that part is easier.

What You Need

  • SZS Modifier
    This program will let you edit all the files required for custom track making. It's required.
  • SZS Explorer
    This program will let you manage the files inside a SZS archive. It's optional, but you'll need it if you want the track to be much different from it's base.
  • KMP Modifier
    This editor will let you edit things in the KMP files that the SZS Modifier can't. Consult the KMP editing page for more info.
  • For making the tracks thenselves, you choose between:
  • Hex Editor
    For experienced hackers only. You might need this for some parts of the guide.
  • The track's files. How do I get then?

If you are only going to texture hack the track, you only need the SZS Modifier and the track's files (along with maybe the image editor of your choice).
