Slot

Some course slots have special features. It is possible to change the track order and to move the special slots to other places. See »StaticR.rel« for more details.

Overview

Slots are the places, where the custom tracks run. MKWii has 32 slots organized into 8 cups with each 4 tracks. So the slots are numbered from 1.1 (first cup, first track) up to 8.4 (eighth cup, fourth track). Nearly all slots have special features, for details see the list in the next section.

In general, all tracks will run on all slots with exception of slots 4.2 (Moonview), 6.1 (Sherbet) and 6.2 (Shy Guy). And here are the rules:

• A track can only run on slot 4.2, if it have at least one truck, car or bomb car and have the special MDL0 from the original Moonview track. Such tracks will run on the other tracks.
• To enable a track for slot 6.1, just insert the sub file ice.brres.
• If the track contains KCL flag 0x70 (fall down with sherbet effect), sub file ice.brres is needed and the track will only run at slot 6.1. It will freeze on all other slots, if the KCL flag 0x70 becomes active.
• If the KMP contains Object HeyhoShipGBA, it will able to run at slot 6.2, and it will only run at slot 6.2. Slot 6.2 has curious camera effects, if driving on roads with y<1000.
• Tracks using the Object 0x72 (sunDS) or 0x144 (pylon01) will only run at slots 3.1 and 7.1.
• All other slots are different in sound and other effects.
