Hello Buschkling, I have noticed you are adding download mirrors to a lot of tracks I have already posted a new link for. Wouldn't it make more sense to first fix download links for all tracks and then worry about adding potential mirrors? Or do I miss a thing? Why is a second mirror necessary right now? -- [[User:Leseratte|Leseratte]] ([[User talk:Leseratte|talk]]) 07:28, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

== Comparing Aquadrom Stage 2 and Autumn Leavesway II ==
 +
Can you please explain, why you have created a separated page for [[Aquadrom Stage 2]], but not for Autumn Leavesway II (=[[Autumn Leavesway]] with version &ge;2).
 +
* [[Aquadrom Stage 2]] is like [[Aquadrom Stage]], but with  Water from Delfino Pier added. Thereforeit is a minimal update.
 +
* Autumn Leavesway II shares only the name with [[Autumn Leavesway]], but all other (general design, model, minimap, routes, textures and more) differs. Therefore, it is undoubtedly a completely new track.
 +
I think I know the answer: Torran made [[Aquadrom Stage 2]], and ALv2 is an update by you. But with this logic, all of your tracks should be placed at the same page.

: Yes that is why. And I don't see AS2 as an update, it's clearly too different, and not really an "improvement" of an existing version. If you want we can remove the Aquadrom Stage 2 page and list Torran's Version as an .alt-version in the version history on the normal page, but state that I don't have anything to do with working on it.--[[User:Buschkling|Buschkling]] ([[User talk:Buschkling|talk]]) 11:35, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Revision as of 07:11, 23 June 2018

Note
Please don't ask me for custom track help here. I am mostly busy with working on my own custom tracks, so I won't accept help requests often.

Wiki Rules

You've edited your userpage way more than the allowed 2 times per day limit. Use the 'Preview' button to see your changes before you click save.
--Guilmon35249vr 02:50, 5 December 2011 (CET)

I don't actually see a rule limiting user pages to 2 updates per day, but I agree, editing your user page 9 times so quickly was excessive. The rules do state: Do not edit any particular page more than twice in a give 15 minute period. You did break that one. Not only is every edit saved, but moderators have to check off on all revisions. None of us like comparing 9 revisions in a row.--Jefe 08:29, 5 December 2011 (CET)

Hello Buschkling, I know you are new, but you should have a look into the Wiiki Rules.

Broken Links

Please fix the download links of Sandcastle Park and White Garden. -- Wiimm 11:22, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

I just checked and.. Both download links work for me... --Buschkling 14:03, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

First I mean the table of your user page.
For Sandcastle Park I get: "Sorry, the file you requested is not available." Perhaps an log in issue.
The White Garden download link links to youtube.
Wiimm 14:35, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

OK let me check that again. I'll put some new links there. --Buschkling 14:43, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Candy Coaster

This is one of my favorite new levels, but there are a couple of problems with it. The biggest problem is that you can't play it in split screen because it's too slow. I've even noticed some slow down in single player too. If you look at the level in wireframe mode in SZS modifier, you'll see that the ice cream cones and candies use a lot of polygons. This more than anything is causing the slow down.

I have two suggestions here. First, you need to reduce the complexity of those parts of the model. With some good modeling techniques, those parts could be reduced to 10 to 25% of what they are now. Second, I suggest for the parts that you use more than once, like the ice cream cones, removing them from the course model and turning them to MKWii objects. This will help because they won't be drawn in the distance and they can be disabled in split screen. One small thing that I don't like is the big jump from the high platform. The landing area (that 90 degree turn) should be roomier. --Jefe (talk) 15:58, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

OK, I'll see and I'm trying to fix the lag in the next version.--Buschkling (talk) 11:14, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Sky Palace

Hey I think I may be interested in finishing this one cause it looks good. --FunkyDude15 (talk) 13:31, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Ok, do you have skype or an email where I can send you over the files?--Buschkling (talk) 13:54, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
My email is on my user page. -- FunkyDude15 (talk) 13:57, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Ok, I'll send you the files later today, I'm a bit busy now. --Buschkling (talk) 13:58, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Can you please send them? You said you would send the files...... --FunkyDude15 (talk) 03:40, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Oh yes, I forgot. I'm sending the email with the files now.--Buschkling (talk) 03:49, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Top CT Contributor

You're the one who made the most CT's in the world, i think.
Unsigned comment by FloMaster35000vr (talk) 10:06, June 5, 2013 (UTC)

Textures

I'm making a new distribution ,called Texture Hack GP Revolution (THGP-R) and i'm making a texture hack for every track and i need your permission. Please give it to me (i will put any CT Creator on credits and on texture hack pages). User:dswii3ds (talk)

Spykid is on vacation til sunday
FloMaster35000vr (talk) 21:19, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
Please don't create texture hacks of my Custom Tracks. I don't like it. --Buschkling (talk) 12:38, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
Why you don't like it ? I will put any CT Creator on credits and on texture hack pages. User:dswii3ds (talk)
Well, I know that you would put my name on CT Creator, but I just don't like when people create texture hacks of my tracks. I'm sure some other CT creators wouldn't like it too. --Buschkling (talk) 16:54, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
I checked other authors if they don't like when people create texture hacks of their tracks but no one said this. You are the only obstacle for my distribution (don't be angry of this,i don't want to have some problems : are only words). User:dswii3ds (talk)

I'm your only obstacle for your distribution? Are you sure you asked everyone? Did you ask khacker for permission to edit Rock Rock Mountain? I'm sure you didn't. Still, I don't like texture hacks of my custom tracks. Here's an idea: You can take other custom tracks of people, who like your idea, and texture hack those tracks, and replace mine tracks with these. --Buschkling (talk) 21:00, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

And if i release them ?? What will happens ??!? P.S khacker didn't say this in his user page. User:dswii3ds (talk)'
When you would release the edits without my permission, I could ask mods/admins to remove it. That are my custom tracks and I decide what happens with it.--Buschkling (talk) 14:33, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
Here's an idea : i will release a video containing all the track textures, also those of your tracks but i will release a dl link without your track textures,i will use them only, or i will play them with my friends,that don't know anything of cts or textures... Would you like this ? --Dswii3ds (talk) 16:34, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
Can you reply to the post above this please ????!?!??! Dswii3ds (talk)
As long as you don't release the modifications of my tracks it's ok with me. --Buschkling (talk) 05:05, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
The tracks will rest the original. Anyway, thanks. (Khacker said that i am a noob. My FC is 8101-9767-4404 : I am a little good but i also hack. Can you add me ?) --Dswii3ds (talk)

Botania

Can I please help with this track? I want to put it in my distribution. Also, can we make a track with both Aquania and Botania being connected? Thanks! --Tpointer56 (talk) 18:17, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

About Rainbow Jungle

Here is an information about Rainbow Jungle. As some people saw, when I created the wiki page of it, I put Flohrian as the track creator and designer. Today, some people got really angry at me and were like: "Are you abusing this as a second account? Why are you making jokes about Florians name? The track looks like your track SpyKid, are you sure you are not using a second account?". Well, here is what it is about this Flohrian guy: THIS IS NOT ME OR A SECOND ACCOUNT OF ME! He is a real life friend of me who got Mario Kart Wii this year, and was interested about CTs, then he visited me and made the model of Rainbow Jungle with my help on my computer, then I edited the model a bit and did the whole KMP, but I gave him credit, because it's his first CT. It's nothing related to Florian AT ALL. I just want people to stop annoying me with those questions or even insulting me or calling me a liar! For those who don't believe Flohrian is real: He has a YouTube account and he can be seen in some wi-fi race videos of MKWii on my channel. I was not sure if I should put this on my talk page or on the Rainbow Jungle talk page, but I just wanted to say this.--Buschkling (talk) 17:46, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

8-Bit Road

May I update this course? --Too tired. - Shadow (talk) 06:38, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

No, because Nuke and I will work at an update. --Buschkling (talk) 06:39, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Youtube videos

I don't understand why you want your video so badly. A video shoud 1. Give a view of the whole track and 2. Give an impression how itemboxes are working, how the routes go and how buggy it is. Game sound has absolutly nothing to do with the track itself and what's the problem with only 1 lap? A 3 lap version is the same 1 lap video but then 3 times in a row.
kHacker35000vr (talk) 11:00, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

The video I added shows a whole race and it contains the Mario Kart Wii game sounds. I just thought people would prefer to watch a whole race on the track with the normal Mario Kart sounds instead of a video, which shows only the first lap of the track and has some dubstep remixes in the background. Actually, I don't care if my video was there or not, but when I am looking for a video, I prefer a whole race with game music.--Buschkling (talk) 11:11, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
Another thing about this: I only make these videos FOR the wiki, not to get subscribers or views, like you said, I even made an CT-only youtube channel, I don't even care how many viewers I have on that one. It's also the same thing RemyInTheSky does, he records CTs FOR the wiki and people put these videos on the CT pages. If you look some at some other CT pages, they also have 2 or even 3 videos about the same version. Now, why is it so bad that I added that video of Space Island to the page?--Buschkling (talk) 11:18, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
Take a look at the Rules if you want to know why, Rule #3 of the yt section: 'Secondary videos should show a different play mode or an older major revision of the level.' It is not a different play mode and it is the same version. As I said above, videos should give a general impression to make someone download a track, not as complete preview.

My CT Help

Can you help me?

Ctgp

Did you give permission to Avenir for deleting Dreamworld Cloudway in the updates section of the track wishlist ?-Dswii3ds (talk) 06:58, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Permission? Well, the track already got updated in CTGP, so it has no reason to stay on the list anymore. I forgot to remove it so Avenir did it.--Buschkling (talk) 13:26, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
Oh…Sorry i didn't saw it, what a stupid.-Dswii3ds (talk) 15:25, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Language-Info

Can you please change the Template:Language-Info (see talk page) --Horsti12 (talk) 09:47, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

What do you want me to change? Danish was already added to the table. I don't understand.--Buschkling (talk) 09:57, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

I would like to help in making custom tracks with you!

Hello, I'm Ark and I've had custom tracks for a while. I recently decided to start designing custom tracks and texture hacking, and I'm just about to finish my first texture hack of Mario Circuit, which I've decided to name Alien Run. I would like to have someone at my side to help me, and I would like to help you make your tracks, which I've played and really enjoyed.

Thanks!

Ark9026 (talk) 02:01, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

At the moment I can't help because I am very busy and I want to finish my current custom tracks projects first.

--Buschkling (talk) 01:24, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Can I help test any of those for glitches? I really want to help out.

Ark9026 (talk) 21:52, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Seeing that you just released two more tracks, do you have any free time to make a custom track with me?

Undiscovered Offlimit

What justified the deletion of the page? It was released, finished, and even in CTGP. --CT creator Emer, (talk here) 01:27, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Author request.
[03:00:34] Whocaredme: Also, may I ask a request to you? I heard from a friend yesterday, but a page of Undiscovered Offlimit was created on Wiiki while I didn't know. Could you delete it, or ask someone to do? because I didn't want anyone to create it and it was created without permission.
--Buschkling (talk) 15:45, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
Well why doesn't he want it on the Wiiki? If a Custom Track is publicly released, shouldn't it be available on the Wiiki so people can get to it easily? --CT creator Emer, (talk here) 16:08, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

alt versions of today
