==Custom Tracks Info==
 
Here I have a table of my released tracks, with the dates they were first released and last updated, as well as a few scales next to them.
 
* The "P" scale is for "Personal rating", it basically shows how much I like the track personally. Lower numbers are tracks of mine that I think aren't that good, and higher numbers are ones that I like. (Please note that this isn't a very objective rating, for example, just because I gave a track a high score doesn't mean I also expect you to like it)
 
* The "S" scale is for "Support", this shows how likely I am to do update(s) to the track once I have the motivation to do so. The numbers for this one may change somewhat frequently. Lower numbers on this scale mean I'm not very likely to update the track at all (or at least any time soon), and higher numbers are for tracks that I have a high interest in updating. Courses with lower Support Scale numbers I'm more fine with other people doing updates on, but unless it has a zero, I would still prefer you contact me before doing any updates.

Revision as of 23:28, 11 January 2023

I'm Rex. I pretty much just exist, I can't really say much else since I find myself to be pretty uninteresting overall. I create Custom Tracks very occasionally, which you probably only found out by going to this page, or by stumbling across a page for one of them. Either way, I tend to make them more for my own fun rather than for any super serious reasons. My tracks have their flaws and you're probably better off checking out other people's tracks instead, but since I don't strive to be perfect with them, I wish that you can respect that I do this more for a random hobby rather than for any sort of occupation or trying to be the best at :)

Random info about myself

  • I first learned about Mario Kart Wii custom tracks some time in 2012 or 2013, mainly from watching various YouTube videos with them. I had wanted to get CTGP for myself for a while, though that never ended up happening until the Summer of 2017. The first custom track I played was Super Sky Courtyard (due to it being the first track in the default cup layout at the time), and the first custom track I played online was Psyduck Cliffs. Since then, I played on and off, and in 2019, I started getting more involved with Discord and Twitch communities revolving around Mario Kart Wii. In 2021, I started to let myself have less of a presence in the general communities, as I started to prefer being someone who is lesser known, and since then have mainly interacted with friends and people who do modding for the game, primarily CT creation. When it comes to playing the game nowadays, I tend to just play worldwide races every so often, mostly CTWWs on some custom track distributions, mainly but not limited to CTGP-R, Yosh's Track Pack DX, Mario Kart Midnight, and CTGP-R Classic. I used to play Time Trials some too, though in mid or late 2020, I stopped doing them.
  • I am 20 years old.
  • My favorite game series are Pokémon (especially the spinoff series Pokémon Mystery Dungeon), and various Mario spinoffs such as Mario Kart (duh), Paper Mario (primarily the first three games, SS sucks and haven't tried CS and TOK), and Mario Party. I hope to branch out and play more non Nintendo games a bit more in the future, my favorites I've played in the past few years being Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling, and Fall Guys. The first video game I ever played was Mario Kart Double Dash.
  • I like gameshows, mainly but not exclusively reality ones. For most of the shows I watch, I would describe myself as a casual viewer, with a little bit of knowledge about stuff more dedicated viewers care for.
  • The name "Rex" mainly comes from the Super Mario World enemy with the same name. I first used the name in a weekly Mario Kart 8 tournament in 2015, and started getting known there under it. For a while it was the only place I had used the alias, until 2017, in which I started using it in more places I existed in across the internet.

Questions and permission to update stuff

If you want to ask me questions that are related to any of the mods I've published on here, you can ask them on my user talk page. Once I see it, I may respond to it if I feel it is needed. I do have a Discord account, but I do not like talking with people I haven't talked with much before in private. If you do have me added though, feel free to DM me inquires on there.

If you want to do an update to my Custom Tracks:

  • I would prefer you asking me first. I probably won't mind it, though I would still like it if you asked me before doing anything just so I am aware. If it's a very small update, such as changing the setting of one thing, you don't have to ask for permission, but if it's something more for yourself or a distribution, I would appreciate you making it an alternate or distribution specific version.
  • You do not need to ask for permission if it is fixing something that is very clearly a bug or unintended effect (such as a crash), though I may end up fixing that myself if brought to my attention and I can do so. If it is something more ambiguous on if it could be a bug or not, ask me for my thoughts before doing anything with it.
  • If you're updating one of my tracks, please respect my wishes for features I do not want changed. Most of my tracks won't have this, though just in case, list what you're changing to me ahead of time and I'll let you know if I'm fine with it.

I do not want any of my Custom Tracks to be ported to other Mario Kart games, unless I give you permission to, or I do so myself.

User Link

Released tracks that are exempt from my user link are tracks of mine that I either don't like that much, or find to be less "completed" compared to most of those that are on there.
