Updated the credits
Also, it's been almost a year since the initial demo release of Mario Kart. The community support for this game over the past year has been amazing! I've gotten to work with lots of cool and talented people and overall this has been a fabulous experience. I obviously can't work on this map forever, so I think it's about time to leave "good enough" alone. After the next update, I'm hoping to move forward with game development (on platforms that aren't Minecraft eheheh). Don't expect any follow-up mapping projects here
If anyone wants to jump in and modify MKMC themselves, I'm totally cool with that. Just credit me and the rest of this map's contributors, m'kay?
It's like every time I come here I keep forgetting to mention this :/
When I submitted Frostbite Caverns back in December, I never actually told you that I intended for the time to be 15000. If you would, could you set it to be that please? Just simply because when I originally built it I set it to change to that time whenever I went to it.
Here is my track. It is called Dimensional Islands. It lasts only 1 lap, and I want the Daylight Cycle to be on, and for the time to start at 12000. That way by the time you get to the end it will be nighttime.
1. Submissions have closed! Huge thanks to everyone that submitted tracks! <3
2. v1.5.4 is nearly complete, but will be pushed back a little longer judging by how disastrously the recent multiplayer testing session went. (Missed Mar10... boo...)
3. v1.5.4 will not be the final update. A soundtrack is getting added along with various other new features. The original soundtrack is not going to be finished for a while, so the next update will feature mostly Creative Commons music as placeholders. The update following that update is what I intend to be the last update.
Alright I am having an issue. I have 5 teleporters, and teleporters 3 and 4 won't work. Teleporter 3 doesn't do anything at all, and teleporter 4 works, but won't bring me anywhere.
As I was typing this, I realized what the problem possibly is. I think it might be because of the fact that teleporters 3 and 4 have destinations that are in unloaded chunks. If this is the case, is there a way to work around it?
Yes, but it requires a little more manual effort. I've had to do this once or twice... I used this method:
1. Delete the teleporters that aren't working are copy the coordinates of both the start and destination of the teleport.
2. Make a repeating command block in your redstone unit with the command "/tp @a[score_playerNo_min=1,score_playerNo=8,x=0,y=0,z=0,r=4] x y z".
(replace the red zeros with your starting coordinates and replace x y z with your destination coordinates).
3. If you want it to make a teleport noise when it teleports you, add a conditional chain command block onto your previous command block with the command "playsound minecraft:entity.endermen.teleport master @a x y z".
Don't worry if you can't get everything working, you can just submit it and I'll fix any redstone-related issues.
Hello, I want to build my own racetrack. How much longer until the final update is ready? That way I know how much time I have to submit my track.
There's definitely still time! The update will probably drop sometime in March. The update hasn't even gone into testing yet, and I really want to test this update before I throw it out there. As of now, though, I'm still adding stuff and making changes.
Ok, I haven't started it yet, but I will submit one more racetrack. A remake of GBA Sky Garden.I want to make it so much better than it is in Mario Kart Super Circuit and DS. I'll build it similar to the Cheese land and Ribbon Road remakes in Mario Kart 8 (Obviously I can't use anti-gravity, but you get the idea) My biggest idea for it is it doesn't even start on the track itself, but a Peaches castle underneath it.
(Also, is it OK if I take the Airship from Airship Fortress and use it for this? I have an idea as to what I can do with it.)
This will be the last course I will submit. Like you said a few weeks ago, I don't really want to go overboard and make half the tracks in the community section mine
That sounds awesome! Feel free to use the airship from Airship Fortress or any other assets from my other tracks as long as you're doing something new with them. I tend to re-use my own assets a lot... "The Gauntlet" is probably the standout example of me reusing tons of old builds to make something new. Not to mention the 20 mirror tracks... And my battle tracks, most of which were recycled from race tracks or other scrapped projects.
Anyhow, thanks for all the submissions-- they've all been fantastic! The next update will feature the "Slime Cup", which will likely be the last of the community race tracks (Sky Garden will be the third in that cup). If you're still itching to make more tracks, the community battle tracks section still has some room!
A little bug that I noted: Playing Seaside Village in Battle Mode will sometimes cause you to spawn at one of the battle spawns on Daisy Cruiser. The opposite is also true.
I didn't know about that, thanks for bringing it to my attention. That'll be fixed soon!
Bug report: The Finish Line Node in Logmill is broken. I can replace it in the singleplayer map, but it happened on the server too. I just figured you might want to take a look at that
Yeah... I found that bug shortly after releasing the 1.5.3 update. I made a "silent" patch (still v1.5.3) to the map which fixed that as well as some issues with the position calculation system (if you use the current download link, the world file you'll get will have those fixes implemented).
Admittedly, I could use some more testing for my updates. v1.5.3 had a bunch of problems that I didn't even know about until I sent the update to NeoGames (which was the first time that version had been played in multiplayer). It's really hard and time consuming for me to comb through everything in the map in various gamemodes/scenarios for testing, especially with how many variables the map has & how much content the map has now. Before releasing the next update, I'll make an effort to get things tested on a private server.
Cool, but It was only the song I made that was inspired by Diddy Kong racing. If there is a similarity somehow to it in the track It was not on purpose. Just for clarification.
Okay, cool. I wasn't sure, so I said "based on" instead of saying it was directly from dkr. In future track listings it'll be shown as a completely original track.
I am mostly done with my next track, but I need help on a couple things, both of them being seemingly too complicated for me and my command/redstone skills.
1. I have one of those switches (like the one that opens a secret shortcut on Laeto Forest, or the one that removes the jump-pad on Seaside Village. I need mine to open an alternate route (In the video in the spoiler of my previous comment, it is a warp-zone)
2. I turned that into a cannon, but I don't know how to make it work. (Although I have teleporters as a substitute)
I looked at the redstone for other tracks about both of these situations, but I still couldn't figure it out
The track isn't looking as good as I had hoped, but it still looks alright so far.
I'm gonna add a new video to the level editor guide covering that stuff soon. For now, you can just send it to me without those features and I can handle the custom redstone stuff.
Lionraged created a custom made Mario kart Track please consider on implementing this custom made track to the map pls and the track name is Titans Attack (Photos will be posted down below of the text) Contact information (Twitter username: lionraged email: [email protected])
Thanks for the submission! Your post didn't include any files for the track, so I imagine you want them sent directly. I've contacted you so you can send them.
I never actually noticed that it was removed, even though I probably should have...
Hey, how long until the next update? Just so I have an idea of how long I have left to build a remake of the final stage to one of my favorite games (also one of the first games I ever played), LEGO Racers! (Obviously it's not going to be LEGO-y, but it's coming from that.)
Next update is coming out sometime next week! Everything's finished/patched and ready to go, I'm just waiting on a few community tracks from the NeoGames community that are nearing completion. If they don't get done in time, I'm putting the update out anyway because I've got school after that point.
In the middle of the castle, there is a pit you can possibly fall into. Could you make that a kill-zone please? I couldn't figure it out.
Thanks for the submission! You'll see it in the next update.
About your questions:
1. No, battle mode doesn't support different countdown types. This is a small oversight on my part, as none of the battle tracks up to this point needed special countdowns. I'll get it working for Smokey Castle, implementing it is super easy (it'll work the same as the race countdown).
2. "Kill-planes" are usually just repeating command blocks in the redstone unit that kill players within some volume of space. Here's an example: "/kill @a[score_playerNo_min=1,score_playerNo=8,x=461,y=40,z=1043,dx=200,dy=20,dz=200,score_ground_min=1]" (this kills all players in that volume of space who are touching the ground).
3. I was going to make another video in the level editor guide covering some advanced topics (custom redstone, kil-planes, moving objects, etc) but I never got around to it. There's a chance I'll get that done soon, but if not just look at the track redstone units for tracks with that kind of stuff and see if you can figure out what the command blocks are accomplishing and how. (Also FYI, all moving objects have specially named invisible armor stands that are needed to clone the objects into the world one frame at a time).
