HAYA'S COMBI RING MOD

kart0021.gif

A FULL rework of fickleheart's amazing combi ring mod, specifically enhanced to work better on newer kart versions. oh and it works properly on replays too

Race alongside a partner chosen for you at random by the wheel of fate, and use all of the shared boosts and attraction physics at your disposal to catapult yourselves to victory. Those without partners will be assigned one.

"Ok but what are the featuresss??"

FEATURES

  • Team-based racing via tether, for a unique experience every race (depending on your teammate)
    • kart0016.gif
  • Share boosts, miniturbos, invincibility and growth with your teammate to pull ahead of the competition!
  • Rankings displayed per-team in real time and in the rankings screen, and finish alongside your teammate!
  • Turn signals to tell your teammate to go to where YOURE going, or to just smack em in the head.
  • Extra friends for those who are left without one!
  • Features NOT in the original
    • HugeQuest support, with proper Grow+ interop and shared super!
    • A better hud
    • Tweaked MiniRanking Plus support. Use the provided KL_MRP-hcombi.pk3 file.
    • Reworked mechanics!
    • Better stability
For console commands, simply type combi_help in the console for all of them!

  • The custom buttons operate turn signals!
    • Custom 1: Signal left
    • Custom 2: Signal right
    • Custom 3: Signal center/straight ahead
    • Custom 3 + Throw Backward: Signal wrong way (you doofus.)
  • Use them on path splits, or if you want to take a shortcut! It's probably curteous to respond to your teammate's signal by pressing the same, as well.
  • If one of you hits a fake, the other can use grow or invincibility to nullify the explosion's effect. If neither of you have that, the one with the fake should blow up behind the other so they can be carried forward and mitigate the time loss.
  • ALL boost types are shared between racers. Grow and invincibility too.
    • Stagger miniturbos so that they overlap as little as possible for maximum gain from each turn.
    • Don't use sneakers at the same time or you'll waste one!
    • Combine grow and invincibility for a fun time.
  • Have fun in this chaotic gamemode!
  • Have one person hold the drift on long turns while the other teammate chains blues.
  • Do NOT boost when your teammate is spinning out!
  • If a server has BoostLib/Slipstream, ride directly behind your teammate to get the draft, and continue to leapfrog for the whole straightaway.
  • If a server has EggPanic enabled, you can keep eggpanic going on INDEFINITELY between you and your teammate.
  • If you want to keep a specific person your teammate every time, use combi_friend <name> in the console or alternatively, friend <name> in chat! They must return back the favor though.

  • "Threesomes" may happen if a player spectates during the partner selection sequence and unspectates right after. This is funny, not fixing this.
    • image.png
  • On the post-race results, positions are displayed as tied individual ranks. There's nothing I can do to fix this.

So go out there and have fun! or not.

Latest reviews

Definitely the end of an era. Hopefully, this puts fickleheart into the rest she wished for, as well as her gamemod addon. I've just played yesterday with 16 players and it works almost exactly as her combi addon did, with a few improvements. For example, teleporters work much better now, whereas in fickle's they thrown you whatever it felt like. There are some exceptions though. Grow is definitely very buggy right now, and it got to the point I had to disable grow in my server completely, because the "permanent" growth state bug mentioned in the OP more or less occurred at all times, which caused unfair games. It's not just "visual", the person remained in grow state (can crush people), as well as having the speed boost.

The physics and gameplay were very well replicated, with the quirks included. However, fear not, because now people actually CAN fix said quirks (and bugs), because the addon is reusable.

Absolutely great work, and hopefully this starts some neat customizations for Combi Ring.
