=Common Crash Causes=
 
−
Sometimes when testing a Custom Track, the game will fail to load the track, causing the console to freeze, usually at a black screen. Here is a list of common problems that can cause [[Mario Kart Wii]] to crash.
 
−
 
 
−
==Crashes during initial loading of your track==
 
−
If your track doesn't load at all, here are some common causes:
 
−
 
 
−
===Basic required files===
 
−
 
 
−
A custom track '''requires''' these files to run:<br>
 
−
-course.kmp<br>
 
−
-course.kcl<br>
 
−
-course_model.brres<br>
 
−
-map_model.brres<br>
 
−
-vrcorn_model.brres<br>
 
−
-Any object files used in course.kmp<br>
 
−
 
 
−
===KMP===
 
−
 
 
−
-First thing to try is to remove objects from your KMP that you won't need for your track.<br>
 
−
--Some of them require specific track slots, files, or KCL settings. If you don't need them, get rid of them.
 
−
 
 
−
-Your KMP has an object listed that does not exist in your SZS.<br>
 
−
--Copy the missing files from another track that has them, probably an official track. Some objects require more than just a brres!
 
−
 
 
−
-You used an object that requires a route, but one wasn't defined for it '''OR''' a route was defined that doesn't exist.<br>
 
−
--Check your KMP for any objects that require routes and add a route for them. If a route exists, set it in the object's settings. If not, create a new route for it, then set it in the object's settings.
 
−
 
 
−
-You have too many objects.<br>
 
−
--Try to reduce the number of objects to be below 200.
 
−
 
 
−
-An object has invalid settings.<br>
 
−
--This doesn't always cause a crash but it certainly can contribute. Look at settings from other tracks for these objects if you're not sure how to set them.
 
−
 
 
−
-An object has an invalid ID.<br>
 
−
--You've told the game to load something that isn't even a real object. Either remove this object, set its ID to 00, or change it to something else.
 
−
 
 
−
-You have an object that requires solid ground in an area where there is no solidity.<br>
 
−
--Objects like Thwomps require solid ground beneath them. Move then onto the track or remove them from your KMP.
 
−
 
 
−
-You have two STGI entries.<br>
 
−
--Remove one.
 
−
 
 
−
===KCL===
 
−
 
 
−
Check for:<br>
 
−
-Proper KCL Flags<br>
 
−
-Two-sided faces<br>
 
−
-Model being too complex for KCL<br>
 
−
-That its properly generated (You can check using Wiimm's SZS Tools)
 
−
 
 
−
===Other===
 
−
-You have a brres for an object but it still doesn't load.<br>
 
−
--Make sure the brres isn't corrupted or modified. Also be sure you have anything else required by the object, like effects.<br>
 
−
---Also be sure any custom content inside the BRRES is the correct version.
 
−
 
 
−
-Your file size is very big.<br>
 
−
--Remove files that aren't used by the track.
 
−
 
 
−
-Your map model is missing required bones.<br>
 
−
--Your map_model requires bones named "posLD" and "posRU" to position the map. Without them, the game can crash.
 
−
 
 
−
==Mid-race Crashes==
 
−
 
 
−
These are usually a combination of problems, such as:
 
−
 
 
−
-Game crashes when trying to enter a cannon.<br>
 
−
--Be sure your cannon trigger in your KCL matches the Cannon ID in your KMP.
 
−
 
 
−
-Game crashes/lags shortly after starting, with flashing colors/geometry!<br>
 
−
--This usually happens with a corrupt BRRES, likely a corrupt CHR0 animation. Try replacing the BRRES.
 
−
 
 
−
-Game crashes when I touch a certain object / part of the track<br>
 
−
--This could be a lot of things, ranging from bad KCL, to missing files, to bad KMP, depending on the situation.
 
  
−
-Game crashes when watching intro cameras in Grand Prix or VS mode<br>
