Overview

Gold Mii & Gold Vehicles is a character distribution created by Wingcapman. It features a full texture pack for the scrapped Mii Outfit C, which gives Miis a shiny gold outfit for all weight classes and vehicles, as well as gold vehicles to match. The current build gives those vehicles golden wheels, while the majority have a slight different color, or even simply a golden rim. The Mii character model is a modified version of Mii Outfit A (renaming the files to make them usable for Mii Outfit A is an option if you prefer having those character and vehicle models over Mii Outfit A instead).

Mii Outfit C was surprisingly far in development before the developers decided to scrap them, so the only thing that was really missing from the game's data were the character and vehicle models. This distribution does not only include the character and vehicles, but also important files such as cheat codes (to add Mii Outfit C to the roster as well as fixing their broken stats), a custom character selection screen (to align the unused character slot properly) and .bin files to correct the character model's placement. The character is fully compatible in all game modes; Mii Outfit C's icon gets shown in Time Trials whenever creating ghost data.

It is strongly recommended to not use this mod in Worldwide rooms, as other players will freeze due to missing model data. However, friend rooms and distributions that support the Mii outfit C mod should work fine. Checking on Wiimmfi's online room data gives a visual error saying the players use an unknown character and vehicle, but despite that error on the database, Mii Outfit C is fully functional online.

Credits

  • UltraWario, for helping to fix the shading.
  • Atlas, for information on how wheels and character positioning are handled in the game.
  • Cazzyboy360, for suggesting a minor edit for the Wild Wing's top section of the door and sides.
  • Tock, for pointing out the errors that happen with the Riivolution XML script.

Compatability

Since the player tries to load a character that technically does not exist, there are some extra steps involved in order to play as Mii Outfit C. This distribution is fully compatible with Riivolution and USB loaders on console. Dolphin is also fully compatible. However, this distribution is not compatible with loaders that do not allow cheat codes and tweaks on files such as main.dol and StaticR.rel; CTGP Revolution being one of them where this distribution will not work on.

The character model for Mii Outfit C does not show up properly on the menu with the current cheat codes (it loads Mii Outfit A's model instead). There is a newer code that fixes this visual bug, but sadly, that code also corrupts the Multiplayer menu, causing Multiplayer to not work. Racing or battling shows Mii Outfit C properly, though.
