Revision as of 13:08, 26 February 2024

Hi! I'm Rex. I kinda just exist, I don't have much interesting to say about myself, and like being in the shadows rather than the spotlight. The main types of mods I create are Custom Tracks, as I have a decent amount of experience in making them, though I tend to make them for my own enjoyment, and not really any serious reasons. I also don't release them all too regularly, as I'm not always motivated to work on things regarding them.

My tracks are not for everybody, I don't really strive for perfection with my tracks (especially visually, beware if you have high standards!), I mainly just try to aim for what I'm personally content with. I recommend you check out other talented creators and their creations on this wiki instead if you're looking for anything that's more polished and pretty! I just hope that you can at least respect that I do this as a hobby, and it's not something I'm aiming to be the best at :>

If you are interested in seeing some of my thoughts and extra little information about the new mods I release, check out my mod blog page.
I also plan to have a link to a folder on this page in the future, containing not only mods I've released here, but also most of my other mods that are too small-scale to upload to this wiki. (BRSTMs I've made, any model or texture modifications outside of CTs/THs, etc.) I'll put the link for it here once it's ready!

Update Permissions

If you want to ask me questions or requests that are related to any of the mods I've published on here, you're free to ask on my user talk page. I have a Discord account, but I'm not very confident in talking with people I haven't talked with much before directly, so I would prefer you use the talk page or any other more public manor if we've never interacted before. If you know what my Discord account is, feel free to ping me in a server I'm in (such as the public Tockdom one from the main page, or DM me if you have me added), instead of using the talk page.

If you want to update any of my Custom Tracks: please contact me before you do anything if possible, and I'll let you know what I'm fine with! I'll most likely be fine with you updating it as long as the focus is on bug fixes and such, and if I have no plans on doing anything with the track any time soon myself. If an update is more for your own or a distribution's preferences, I would appreciate the update being labeled as an alternate or distribution specific version. (ex. v1.0-alt, v1.0.mkw) Please respect my wishes for aspects of my tracks I do not want altered, in case I reject anything being done. Overall I would prefer if my tracks stay close to how I originally made them in visuals and gameplay, so please don't majorly change anything about those without permission.

I will sometimes update tracks made by others, usually for fixing things with the KCL or KMP of them as well as any other quality of life fixes, though sometimes I'll do more major updates that update several aspects of the track. I'll probably not take requests for updating tracks in most cases, whether you're the original author or not, as I mainly update tracks I am interested in making an update to and feel need fixes, and as long as the original author(s) give permission for updating it (or have had no activity). I tend to have more motivation for doing these updates compared to working on my own tracks, so I'll usually be releasing updates to tracks more often than releasing new tracks.
List of tracks I've updated:


User Link

Some of the mods I've released are exempt from my user link. If it's a mod I made in my own efforts, it's overall something I don't want to be or doesn't really need to be on the user link, whether it be something of mine I don't like much anymore, or is made as a joke or more unorthodox purpose. I may add or remove stuff depending on how I feel about them each time I edit the user link. The mods listed in each category are sorted by when they were first released, with a few exceptions. The "contributions" section mainly consists of tracks where I only worked on part of the model, and/or some of the track's files.
