Ruber Pack b7.1

Didn't take long but I'm happy to make changes.

Here's update b5.2 for RuberPack:

Maps

• All minimaps have proper color flashing finish line markers.

Bubble Bayside

• Removed duplicate comic page that was placed by mistake.
• Minor texture fixes and alignments.

Storage Sputter

• Minor texture fixes and alignments.

Wishing Wonders

• Removed Sparkle weather effect on the level structure to help improve gameplay frame rate issues.
• Crediting of songs "Pink Rose" and "Diamond in the Sky" have received proper corrective fixes.
• Smoothed out the first turn a bit more.

Thought I'd get through without a hotfix but what can ya do
Actually this one's somewhat of an important update...

Here's update b5.1 for RuberPack:

Maps

• All music tracks have been drastically cut down to size without downgrading the music itself ingame, therefore bringing RuberPack's download size from 60MB to less than 40MB as of this update. Apologies for any sort of inconvenience for the previously large download size.

Bubble Bayside

• Slight adjustment to the loop point of the "Tropical Breeze Zone, Act 2" track to make the looping cleaner.

Boomerang Battleship

• Hotfix applied to a piece of floor sector that was raised by mistake.
• Fixed a notable section of lower walls scrolling when they weren't supposed to.

...the Wonder Cup is now complete at last. Update has finally arrived.

But before we discuss that, I want to say first and express thanks so much for 1000+ downloads. I hope you've enjoyed playing these as much as I enjoyed designing these maps. Despite the issues and coming across them, it's awesome to see others racing on these vertex-crafted race tracks, much bigger thanks to those on the credits list for testing and reporting for as long as this has been worked on, also thanks goes out to Kart Krew (and those affiliated) for even making this possible via modding, and thanks to YOU viewers and downloaders for even checking this out.

***NOTE: Keep in mind the total file size for all of RuberPack now exceeds 50MB meaning that it CANNOT be shared through means of Online mode.

With that said, here's update b5 for RuberPack:

Heart Hippo

• New character as of version b5

Boomerang Battleship

• Combative fix to waypoints in various places that persisted to respawn players and (mostly) confuse bots that were partially due to their radius being too large.
• Despite the other Encore palettes being added in for other ones, Boomerang Battleship's was still missing one somehow and has been fixed.
• Implemented edits and spotlights on various roadsides and edges to provide clarity during gameplay.
• Added and fixed various texture alignments and removed linedef slimetrails.
• Fixed invalid "F_SKY1" textures being present at the bottom and top out of the boundary skybox area.

Boulevard

Thanks again to Yellow/GlowingTail for helping out with this. I know b4 just dropped, so thanks for bearing with me... with that said:

Maps

• Both battle maps now have properly placed Battle Start positions including a Battle Center object for Sudden Death.

Agaria Botanica

• Removed duplicate Player 15 and 16 start objects accidentally placed before updating that causes those racers to start in the wrong spot.
• Added in proper Start/Finish line banner
• Slightly tweaked centering light glares where Princess Himizu's throne is.
• The two capsules that used to give 2 Hyudoros each capsule on an upper path near the start now give 1 each.

It's been a while hasn't it? Well, how about a nice big update to compensate that space of time?

So now, 6 out of 7 maps have been completed for the Wonder Cup, meaning that there is at last 1 last track planned for this pack.

Also some new faces in the form of character and follower, and maybe ingame characters too have arrived, along with a few other updates as well.

With that said, here is the update log:


Characters

Micaeah

• New Character as of version b4

Followers

Petagus

• New follower as of version b4

Flying Mermaid

• Fixed the name displayed as "Flying" on the follower select menu to be displayed correctly.

Maps

• All current Race tracks now feature Encore palettes

Agaria Botanica

• New Race map as of version b4

Storage Sputter

• Fixed skybox textures in the windows

Frosty Circuit

• Very minor tweaks regarding level decoration.

Heyo, this update is small yet large, and it will speak for itself

Maps

Boomerang Battleship

• The lua for this level has been fixed and updated to prevent it from leaking into other map packs. It was designed to work around the player tumbling during the gravity tube section, but depending on which order the packs were inserted, the code would apply the lua to other addon levels unintentionally (Special thanks to Yellow/GlowingTail for fixing and bringing this to my attention).

Sorry for the trouble, not sure what's going on with the files only downloading one instead of two, should work now.

Not really an "update" but the bundle pk3 wasnt uploaded even i could've sworn i did??? okay then

It's been a bit, but this update hopefully won't disappoint!

• The last waypoint before going into the half loop has been modified to prevent players from being stuck in the obstacle.
