/!\ OFFICIAL SUGGESTIONS TOPIC

vs34400 pts ★ Legend
battle6835 pts ★ Racer
Australia
Frequently Asked Suggestions: (may be updated)

1. New Courses for the base game (eg. N64, GCN, Wii etc.)
Adding new courses takes a lot of effort to create, much more than the good custom tracks on the site. It's better to focus on more important updates such as bug fixes and optimisations. You can also just play the custom tracks that people worked hard to build anyway, such as the (currently WIP) community project MKPC Generations (go check out other creations too!).

2. More storage for Complete Mode
25MB is plenty, and the site won't be able to handle any more data. If you really want to save storage you can always use an image compressor (which may lower quality a tad) or an image hosting site such as FileGarden.

3. Nerf CPUs in Grand Prix Mode
GP mode is 150cc and the CPUs are set to 'Difficult' for those who didn't know. They will not be nerfed because with a bit of practice they are not that hard (except for maybe 2 cups but persistence will prevail).

4. Remove Reverse Drifting (RD)
RD is confirmed as an official technique and will never be removed (it is also neither hacking nor cheating).

5. Gliders
These are not a necessary addition, programming them will be difficult, and the existing ramps and cannons are fine. Like the first point there are more important updates too.

6. Ultra Mini Turbo/Purple Drift
The SMTs in the game are already strong enough. MKPC is also quite small scaled compared to the official MK games so they wouldn't work well anyway.

7. Extra and Diagonal Quick Mode Tiles
Diagonal tiles will not work with how QM functions. You might as well use CM at that point.

People have been making a lot of topics about suggestions for MKPC, so rather than having tens of the same topic it's better to just have 1 topic for everything.

Topic Rules: (just to keep things neat here)

1. Read the Frequently Asked Suggestions (FAS) in the post below, which lists common examples and explains why said suggestions won't be added to MKPC. Do not suggest anything within that post (might be updated in the future) or else the post will be deleted.

2. Merge suggestions into one post rather than making multiple posts for each suggestion. Just because the topic is about providing new ideas to make the site better doesn't mean you can message farm here. Also, please also refrain from sending every second or so message because this isn't the topic to be active in.

3. You aren't Wargor so don't act like these suggestions will be implemented just because you like them. No i-forgot behaviour allowed.

4. Stay on topic. This topic is only for suggestions and discussions around them so don't post any irrelevant messages.

5. Don't recreate this topic, otherwise it will be deleted.

6. Be clear with your suggestions. This isn't mandatory, however it is much more beneficial if you explain how your suggestion may be implemented and why it may be useful.

Why do you always change the challenge difficulty to easy?


Most likely because the challenge is actually easy.

For example, I've seen some challenges recently that have a time limit of 1:30 requested as "difficult", but can be beaten in half of that without really trying. So of course we need to downgrade the difficulty.

To be fair the current rules are pretty outdated and at times unclear so maybe I should work on a new set (that totally wasn't proposed several years ago).

Now this is confusing. The validator said this exact feedback:

You're not allowed to make tracks on the same tracks as the Mario Kart PC multicup roster.

Track: Cheep Cheep Island R https://mkpc.malahieude.net/map.php?i=166549

Spoiler [ShowHide]
Challenge details
Complete the track in VS mode, in 100cc mirror class, with 9 participants, in medium mode, by falling at most 1 time, in 4th place or better, without being hit by a red shell or a poison mushroom
No teams
Name: Erin's Grotto
Difficulty: Difficult


This is confusing because the map was rotated, the music isn't the original, there are Goombas, there is custom music, and I'm not the only person who made the same track as the Mario Kart PC multicup roster! What's even more, it's the reverse variant!


Most likely the "R" wasn't seen by the validator, if you rebeat it I can fix it (challenges might be downgraded to medium difficulty).

Btw rotating the image doesn't count towards anything since the image is still technically the same, and the goombas and custom music are a bit debatable. It's mainly the R variant part that would let this slide.

thats not what i meant to do i was trying to get my challenge published cuz thats literally what the title is


You might not be aware of how the system works, but basically all pending challenges are put on a hidden log only validators have access to, so we can see it anyway.

Most likely a break or just busy with other stuff, tbh we've only got 1 really active validator atm.

We've also gotten a lot of challenges recently too, more than what we normally get. Yesterday when I got on there were 82 pending, I brought that down to 40 but it's back up to 57. I plan on doing a bit more soon but obviously I need to prioritise uni work.

Hope this helps.

Wait who is that really active validator called? Just wondering.
(Sorry if I am getting up in y'all's business, but I just wanna know, also thanks for responding to the previous message)


Nodac is, he's practically done like 90%+ of the challenges lately, so I think he deserves a break lol.

Thank you for contributing to this topic. Unfortunately, you did not complete the challenge of "following forum rules" so I cannot award you your 20 challenge points. 8)

Out of all of the criteria for rejecting a challenge, "this is a stolen track" is not shown in the list. i already explained in the comments WHY I stole the track AND EVEN GAVE CREDIT IN THE DESCRIPTION


Sorry that was me, I should probably update the first post so that it's clearer. I started rejecting challenges on stolen tracks since it became an issue after the topic.

Even though your case doesn't seem like you stole it on purpose I'm still not sure if I should allow it just to keep things consistent. I'm also not entirely sure what you meant by being 'forced' to steal it. DM me if you'd like to ask anything else related to this tho.

I created a challenge called "Unlucky Items" where you have to hit all the item boxes on the track "Larry's Scratchy Castle" in less than 13 seconds. This is rather tight, but by setting the number of CPU racers to 2, is manageable. However, the challenge was rejected for being "impossible". This is not the case as I have successfully completed the challenge in order to publish it.

EDIT: track link https://mkpc.malahieude.net/map.php?i=132286


I just checked what happened and in your case you just got unlucky because the items didn't load in for some reason. Nothing you didn't wrong and it seems fixed now 👍

The topic was intended to clarify challenge rules and guidelines, not to show people any challenges you have. We can already see them when they are pending.

I've made multiple Challenge this month and I've noticed 2 things:
- I make a Challenge, Publish it, and the next day it got Verified
- I make a Challenge, Publish it, and after a LONG LONG TIME it is still not verified, which is the case for some of my Challenges.
So what are the Challenge Validators doing? Like on the Discord I've seen 10-15 Challenge Validators but after a Month still nothing??? Also before you say anything like "ThEy HaVe A lIfE", think of the previous Situation of Max.


In your case, I have skill issue and can't beat some of them lol

Um so I have like 3 challenges from sky garden that i have been waiting for somebody to send me a reply for months and it still has not been checked yet.


Sorry about that, the validators have also been a bit inactive, admittedly there's a lot pending. I'll try to have a look when I get on my computer again.

you were probably the one to reject this challenge but i didn't mean to make Sky Garden Coin Challenge 2 cuz I didn't realize until it was rejected that I had made 2 coin challenges please forgive me for making that mistake.ordi


Don't worry, no harm done at all ;)
It's our job to check anyway, a small mistake is nothing

Couple of my challenges've been rejected recently too. They're like, hidden areas you have to get to. For example, one has a jump hidden along a yellow wall section. You have to hit that jump to reach the zone. It was rejected because "can't get to the pipe" (pipe = goal). My intent is to make people study the map a little in order to complete the challenges. Is that wrong?


Reupload it and I'll have a look, sometimes validators may miss things. If that's the case just let them know (basically how you have done it here).
PS If it sounds like I'm mad about it I'm not. Just a wanna know where I'm going wrong so I can do better challenges :).
