User:Rex

Hi! I'm Rex. I kinda just exist, I can't think of much interesting to say about myself, and prefer 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 when it comes to the more technical side of 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.

Though I release them publicly here on this wiki, my tracks are likely not ideal for most people, particularly if you have high standards with visuals. I don't really strive for perfection with or consistency between my tracks, especially with the modeling and visuals, I mainly just try and make what I'm personally content with. What I'm content with visually is definitely below what others may see as "good" and is more like what was good several years ago, I tend to care more about the gameplay, function, and sometimes the charm when it comes to tracks I make, as well as tracks made by others. And, while it is an aspect of my tracks I care about more, the way I like how things in them play may not be your cup of tea either. If you're looking for good tracks on the visuals front, I recommend you check out many of the other talented creators and their creations on this wiki instead! There is some great work out here. I just hope that, if you're reading this and have seen my tracks (whether you like them or not), you can at least respect that I do this as a hobby, and it's not anything I'm striving to be really good 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 far 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 & Updates I've made to other's tracks

If you want to ask me questions 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'm unfamiliar with 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 ask me about stuff 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 anything, as long as the focus is on bug fixes or such, and you don't majorly change anything about the visuals or gameplay. If an update is not really a bug fix and 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 something from being done!

I will sometimes update tracks made by others, usually for minor quality of life fixes with the visuals or functioning of them, though sometimes I'll do more major updates that update several aspects of the track. In most cases I'll probably not be taking requests for updating tracks, whether you're the original author or not. Unless you've already stated you're fine with updates to anything you've made on your user page, I will likely be contacting you first if I wish to update anything you've made and if you've been active in the community. I tend to have more motivation for doing these updates compared to working on my own tracks, as I feel I excel at the file stuff when it comes to making tracks much more than modeling stuff, so at times I'll probably be releasing updates to my tracks and other's tracks more often than releasing new tracks.
List of tracks I've updated:

Track	Version	Date of release	Information
Thwomp Swamp	v1.01	2020-06-08	Raised walls in the KCL to prevent falling through the track
Silly Rainbow	v1.1	2021-03-11	Fixed a NLC that would sometimes happen, as well as some other KMP updates
Loopdeeloop Galaxy	v2.0	2022-01-23	In late 2021 I asked Jaden about updating this track, mainly to reduce the lag and add a starting platform if I recall, but it turned into a more major all around update for the track.
Loopdeeloop Galaxy	v2.1	2022-05-30	Moved a respawn point to be less harsh, and lowered the water current speed.
CandyCorp Canyon	Beta 2	2023-01-02	Reduced lag, and minor enemy/item route changes
Skybound Cloudscape	v1.2	2023-01-02	Fixed no lap count
Intergalactic Lair	Beta 2	2023-01-02	Moved checkpoints to improve respawns at the last section of the track
Intergalactic Lair	Beta 2.1	2023-01-02	Thought of a better way of doing the checkpoints soon after releasing the previous update
R'Lyeh	v1.1	2023-07-10	This track was one of my favorites from the City themed CT Jam I hosted. The update mainly just changes/adds various QOL features to it
Mario's World Trip Down Memory Lane	v1.2	2023-07-10	The main things I wanted to do with this update were fixing the offroad glitch and some of the textures, but there were quite a bit more things that I ended up updating
Angry Video Game Circuit	Alpha 2	2023-08-15	Mainly an attempt to fix a item route issue
Girly Course	v1.2	2023-08-15	All around QOL changes. Middle is solid fall now, as you could get a bit stuck in it
Thwomp Swamp	v1.1	2023-09-16	Downscale, optimized model a bit, and re-encoded the course model and KCL. The lighting of the track was made different, though that was not an intended change, and it will be reverted to how it was before in the next released update.
Aqua Temple	v1.3	2023-09-22	All around QOL changes. Old versions had mipmaps despite not seeming like it, so hopefully the re-encoded mipmaps look at least somewhat better
Bi Skies	v1.1	2023-09-22	Moves an infinite respawn point, among some other small changes
Bowser's Bonanza	v1.0-beta2	2023-09-22	Remade the item routes, and updated the checkpoints and respawns
Cardboard Dimension	v1.1	2023-09-22	Polished the KMP a bit, and shifted the track up to prevent item position bug
Choco Canyon	v1.1	2023-09-22	Similar to Cardboard Dimension, mainly KMP updates
Cloudy Courtway	v1.2	2023-09-22	Mainly updated for the respawn point at one section of the track, but made some other small updates to the KMP too
Gender Flyway	v2.1	2023-09-22	All around fixes and additions
Luigi's Ghostly Manor	v1.1	2023-09-22	Updated to fix the item route issues (being from the MC3 item routes still being present in the track), and some miscellaneous changes and additions were made too
Nocturnal Coast	v1.5	2023-09-22	Fixed some of the textures, and made some KCL and KMP changes
Poisonous Pass	v1.2	2023-12-14	The ramp to the single mushroom is more consistent now, and some other under the hood changes were made as well
Harvest Harbor	v1.2	2023-12-21	Mainly KCL updates, which attempts to fix instances of random wall KCL, particularly on the last few turns of the track
Withering Will-O-Wisp Woods	v0.9b	2023-12-21	Fixes layering issue with the water, and some KMP changes. There is a new subtle thing I added that you may notice in VS races :p
Death Star	v1.2	2024-02-09	Collab update with Kanto, the changes I made were related to the course and KCL models, primarily optimizing and reducing the details in the course model
Alternate Ghost Valley 2	v1.1	2024-02-26	Adds to and modifies a bit of the model to make it more "Nintendo-esque" I suppose, but the main motivation behind this update was moving the first incline to be earlier in the straight, so the turn afterwards isn't as blind, and removing faces that were under the road in both the model and KCL.
Chain Chomp Bark Park	v1.1	2024-02-26	Updates the checkpoints to fix everyone in first bug in online races. Also remade the enemy and item routes, primarily because there could have been self link issues with the latter. (I tried making them pretty similar to the old ones)
Mothim Circuit	v2.1	2024-03-25	Mainly updated to fix up the checkpoints, as in Yosh's Track Pack DX online rooms, the position tracking would be awkward. Also updates and adds a few other things in the KMP, most noticeably the water splash and new intro cameras.
Thwomp Swamp	v1.2	2024-04-08	Fixes the incorrect lighting from the previous version, and makes several other minor fixes and changes to the track at the recommendations of the CTGP Council.
Plasma Hideout	Beta	2024-04-11	Wanted to update this track, as I like it, though the author has been inactive. Normally for updates to other people's tracks I would only increment the version number by one (for example this would be Alpha 2), but since this is a somewhat big update and makes the track feel at least a little more complete, I made it a Beta instead. I also uploaded an alternate version that I plan to include in a distribution I'll be releasing this year (hopefully).
Canyon Track	Beta 3	2024-04-15	Updated mainly to add animations and fix the fence material. Also has some minor KMP changes (most notably adjusting the enemy and item routes so they don't run into the wall at the halfpipe part, and the item set soon after being lowered)

Some things to be released in the future:

• Dry Dry Castle RC2 (just haven't released it, forget exactly what's changed about it at this point and that's part of the reasoning)
• Chomp Snowpeaks Beta (in progress, haven't worked on in a while)

User Link

Some of the mods I've released are exempt from my user link. I used to exclude the ones I liked less, but now I only exclude ones that I feel were kinda useless to release in retrospect and didn't put much effort into. The mods listed in each category are sorted by when they were first created or released, with a few exceptions. The "contributions" section of the user link mainly consists of tracks where I only worked on parts of the model for, and/or some of the track's files.
