[09/23/2011][2]
+ Some KCL analyse :
BC WII Fallboudary source:

0x10 V012 -> V00A -> V002 = Y 9198,609
0x10 V00A -> V002 = Y 7457
0x10 V022 - > V01A -> V012 -> V00A -> V002 = Y 7457
0x10 V01A -> V012 -> V00A -> V002 = Y 10132,72
0x10 V002 = Y 4813,282

Kmp:

FFFF0000 = V002 = Y 4813,282
FFFF0001 = V00A = Y 7457
FFFF0002 = V012 = Y 9198,609
FFFF0003 = V01A = Y 10132,72
FFFF0004 = V022 = Y 7457

So mine should :

0x10 V002 = Y 7048,078
0x10 V00A = Y 10558,08

KMP

FFFF0000 = V002 = Y 7048,078
FFFF0001 = V00A = Y 10558,08

Update 2:
As you can see that project is really old , the first show was at : 11/22/2010 almost a year.
And right now it almost accomplished , I mean We only have to wait an update of SZS tools.
original first show post: http://www.mariokartwii.com/f72/official-mario-kart-wii-model-hacking-new-39114-294.html#post3366978
Update:
Okay here what i Plan
Remake GCN BC not a simple port
I will do like N64 Banshee , New brres and new texture and some add that fit so great.
I m sorry i will not release it till i can't animate texture :S
and btw I hope you will love it because i really work hard to choise the right texture to make them fit.
To keep the nostalgia of the map.

---

Okay here is a total remade of the page to show you that the made isn't dead at all.
Here a png about my enemy route and how it is made (yes that do 9 to 11 that a small miss
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/194/sectionitemenemiesroute.png
(Yes i made it as a "%" that just to show you if i think it is done or not)
And I will not make any release until I found how to make one brres that got Map and Lava + Boost pad animated.
And for finish my update as soon as I can for sure I will release.
