Private paid pack?

Hi, Where would I be able to buy a copy of your pack? --PokeAcer (talk) 22:03, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

PayPal only. Please check this video's description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZxfjaMawAU —Atlas (talk) 4:20, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Publishing updates and alterations on the wiki?

Hi atlas, I made some fixes and changes to 3DS Shy Guy Basar 1.8 and 3DS Daisy Hills 1.7b for the next version of Wiimms Mario Kart Fun. Is it okay for you if i publish those versions on the wiki.
On 3DS Shy Guy Basar i added a lot of missing item routes, improved enemy routes, added more respawns.
On 3DS Daisy Hills i added missing item routes. I also altered the track concept and openend the way over the houses on the left side as a shortcut. So this one is not only a fix but an alteration of your original concept. I would mark it as such.
Cheers, suchti --Sucht93a (talk) 16:06, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Sure, feel free to change it. —Atlas (talk) 22:11, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Have you seen my PM at wii-homebrew.com? -- Wiimm (talk) 07:01, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, I was pretty inactive there. Now I see. —Atlas (talk) 10:22, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

DL

Instead removing invalid DL, you can replace them by http://wiimm.de/r/d/mkw-track-archive (tracks only).

-- Wiimm (talk) 09:42, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Some of them aren't there, but I'll look there next time before removing, thanks. —Atlas (talk) 11:41, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Editing your Tracks

Hi Atlas, I fixed a small KCL bug in 3DS Daisy Hills (Atlas) v1.7d (new version 1.7e). Sniki and I scaled PMWR Cloud Garden to 120% and fixed item routes (new version 1.07). Both edits are for my coming MKW-Fun distrib. Is it ok to release it here?

-- Wiimm (talk) 08:27, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Sure, and thanks for your contributions. —Atlas (talk) 12:13, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

User Page

You forgot the KMG file format (only file is minigame.kmg in Common.szs) :P -Dswii3ds (talk) 08:26, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

No, it's there. —Atlas (talk) 09:34, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Well, do you know anything about those ? I'm curious... -Dswii3ds (talk) 13:00, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

KMG is unused. Mario Kart Wii has lot of unused entries related to "Minigame", including UI elements, and an extra button for 1P Menu for an unused section named "Minigame", that seems to be like a leftover from MKDS. It would be nice if someone manages to implement it back with the few resources that are left in the data. —Atlas (talk) 14:30, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Do you think it could be possible to use competitions as actual missions ? It would obviously require many more edits to code and such, but Mr Bean could easily do that imo -Dswii3ds (talk) 15:07, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Banning for Usernames

Don't you think it's a bit excessive to ban people with simple commas in their name ? Or even ()&$ ? -Dswii3ds (talk) 14:36, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

That's what the rules said, I discussed it with Maczkopeti before to follow the rules more like Wikipedia does. —Atlas (talk) 19:05, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Mario Kart 8 Ported Stuff

Sorry if i constantly annoy you, but i'm very impressed by your work recently.

I just noticed you have made tons of ports from Mario Kart 8, mostly Karts and Characters. Could you give them to me or are they private/paid ? If the latter, i'm willing to pay you. I also noticed you made a new UI (item roulette and such) and Items based off MK8. Do you have them too ? I wanted to make my game more similar to MK8 to spice it up and make it less boring.

What sound effects do you think i could import from MK8 ? I don't know any filename. I need the track intro, terrain sounds, character sounds, and the boost sound. Can you help me on these ?

Thanks a lot, i don't have words at the amount of mods you've done for this game. -Dswii3ds (talk) 13:00, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

For this, please contact me via Skype: kyros2110 —Atlas (talk) 13:46, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Re: Pages with no download link

It wasn't written in the rules so i didn't know. Sorry man ! -Dswii3ds (talk) 12:29, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Files

Hi, What are the files called that make the numbers from Mario kart wii you know 1st place 2nd place etc. Where is a download to that. I'm the dev of Mario kart 7 wii btw. Can you also compile more Mario kart 8 texture for use in Mario kart 7 wii -Phanegan3

They are TPL files found into Race_*.szs (where * is the letter depending on your game's language). If you want to get an original copy of this file, you can't ask for that here in the Wiiki because unmodified files can't be posted (that's illegal), so you must find it yourself or extract it from your game/ISO. And no, I don't take modding requests for free anymore. —Atlas (talk) 12:46, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Vehicles you made lack pages

A lot of slots for retro karts have you as the author (specifically Mario Kart 7), but lack a page. Is there a specific reason, or...? ThatPlanet (talk) 18:23, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Yep, I'm finishing them soon and uploading them all together in a pack. —Atlas (talk) 18:37, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Custom elettric Propeller Object

Hello. Is a problem for you if use your custom elettric propeller from your Blooper Surfing Safari for a track? —Bulzeeb (talk) 18:34, 05 January 2017 (UTC)

You can use it with no problem. —Atlas (talk) 20:52, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks :) —Bulzeeb (talk) 19:28, 06 January 2017 (UTC)

Can I use other your custom objects for a custom track? —Bulzeeb (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Yes, you can. Just give credit. -Atlas (talk) 18:38, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Are you good to create animated custom objects? —Bulzeeb (talk) 13:30, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Edit War

Why are you reverting my edits on Darkness Power Plant? You entered a wrong release date. The track was released on the 17th, not the 16th. I should know better because it is my own track. Please stop doing an edit war out of this and leave the release date be. I don't know where you got the info from that it was released on the 16th. The online test took place on the 16th but I've actually set the download up 1 day later.--Buschkling (talk) 17:51, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

No, you should stop the edit war. Any non-registered user and any registered user who didn't change the default timezone, uses the wiki's default time zone, and it shows that it was released on 16:th at 22:12 (when the page was saved). The news uses the wiki's default time zone. That edit included a download link => released. However, in +2 (like Germany has) it would be released on the 17:th.
--Wexos (Talk | Contribs) – CT/MK8 Wiki Admin 18:20, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

The wiki's server is located in germany, so it would use the german time, which is the one I have set it to now. So it was released on the 17th at 0:12 AM.--Buschkling (talk) 19:31, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

You should look here, "Time offset".

PM at Wii-Homebrew.com

Have you noticed my PM at Wii-Homebrew.com -- Wiimm (talk) 12:02, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Now I did —Atlas (talk) 12:27, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Pianta

You removed a video of the model. Videos are better than pictures in that case. Why? Because I didn't know how to embed it?

Also, the article says "this char. is not animated". It is animated. I'm kinda too scared to edit that now too because you'll ban me or something. --Unsigned comment by Rhodechill (talk).

First and foremost; Please ensure you sign your responses with 4 tilde (~) marks so that it's more obvious whom said what. Secondly, if it's on a Wiki, users cannot ban for contributing to the wiki, so please do edit to correct issues you may find. PokeAcer (talk) 14:49, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

• 1. You haven't posted the video link correctly.
• 2. The video is not focused on the custom character but in an entire Custom Track cup, which makes it so long and unrelated.
• 3. As PokeAcer said, you cannot get banned for contributing on the wiki. Read the rules and if you follow them, you won't get banned.
  

—Atlas (talk) – CT/MK8 Wiki Admin 19:21, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Also, I've just checked and no, it's not animated. You might have another version. —Atlas (talk) – CT/MK8 Wiki Admin 19:25, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Deleted Pages with Downloads

I'm concerned about the pages for CT and Texture Hack Distributions that were released, mainly the outdated ones from 2011-2013, but I'm not sure if they had working download links before they were deleted. Bri (talk) 16:20, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Any concrete example?

I handle this wiki as a kind of an encyclopedia, that provides information and download links. An download link, that becomes invalid, is not a reason to delete an article. But a never existing download is a reason: No Vaporware!

Question about your Sans mod

Hey, Atlas, mind if I edit the Sans mod over Wario on the Mach Bike? I'll give you credit. Also it's on Gamebanana. --Unsigned comment by TriforceCrimson (talk).

Sure, go ahead. —Atlas (talk) – CT/MK8 Wiki Admin 13:26, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Delete old account?

Hi I have an old account here named MrBean35000VRJr. Can you please delete it? --TheRealBeanJR (talk) 01:05, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

We can't delete accounts, only ban/rename them. —Atlas (talk) – CT/MK8 Wiki Admin 01:17, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

List of Custom Missions

Could it possibly be a wiki page ? -Dswii3ds (talk) 12:56, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Probably, but not yet. —Atlas (talk) – CT/MK8 Wiki Admin 14:11, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Padding

Sorry if i'm annoying you again. Is it possible to add padding with an hex editor between subfiles in an SZS file ? Can i do this with BMG entries too ? -Dswii3ds (talk) 10:10, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Workarounds:

• With Wiimms SZS Tools you can define an alignment: https://szs.wiimm.de/opt/align
• Add dummy entries to the subfiles or enlarge the subfiles.

But I don't see the advantage of padding.

-- Wiimm (talk) 11:07, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

It allows me to make a customizable Common.szs. I take every subfile and for each i use the biggest custom file size as a reference. With the smaller files, i calculate how much padding is needed to reach the reference size. This allows me to calculate exact offsets and file lengths, so i can add them to my Riivolution XML and only replace the correct part of the file with the item i selected. This also could work with character selection (Driver, Award and stuff). And i can edit BMG entries on the fly with the same method, allowing me to have CT customization and the correct track names. -Dswii3ds (talk) 12:10, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Then extract the szs, enlarge all subfiles by appending NULL bytes and re-create the szs.

I personally prefer: extract, patch and re-create by a batch file.

-- Wiimm (talk) 15:02, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Bot

I'm seeing that you and Leseratte are currently editing pages to remove dead download links, but isnt there a bot we could use for that? I remember when 2shared had a virus we had a bot that hid those links. So far, MEGA, Sendspace and 2shared links are affected by Nintendo copyright strikes. It'd be much more time consuming to do it for each page manually.--Buschkling (talk) 16:57, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
