First of all... Happy New Year qlonas :gamba:, second yep its been a while but lets say that i forget for a while that i did this topic lmao... now yep lets go
My favorite part of making tracks, texturing helps to define the idea that you have for any part of the track, making clear the kind of texture that the element has, obviously not everything will have the same texture and blah blah blah lets go to the point, today i'm gonna show some ways that i use for do textures
A- Using Confetti + Fragment Blur effect:
The first way that i learned to do textures, even if its a bit outdated, i still using it sometimes and it works really good when you learn how to use it correctly. So let me explain step by step how to do it.
1- Selecting the part where you'll apply the texture, easily you can use the magic wand tool and select it doing click on the zone.
Extra: if you need to select multiples zones you can selec the "add" section and each click that you just keep pressed control when you click.
2- Create a new layer WITHOUT end the selection btw.
3- Pick the base color of the place where you'll add the texture and pick as secondary color a darker tone of that one
4- Pick the paint bucket tool, pick "Confetti" and fill the zone with that.
5- Go to effects > Blurs > Fragment.
6- Set the distance and frames as your preference and apply the fragment effect.
7- Click on the base layer and make the zones darker.
8- Now you can finally end the selection.
Extra: to highlight the details in the texture, you can apply light and constract settings as you can see here:
B- Using a Tileset or Already Existing Textures.
Probably the easier way to do textures in my opinion, because you just need a texture pattern so here we go.
1- Pick the tile that you would like to use. Make sure that the image repeats the pattern appropriately.
2- Add a new layer
3- In that layer, copy and paste the tile until you have a square (or something similar to a square) that covers the whole part where the texture will be placed.
4- Go back to the first layer, and with magic wand tool select the part where the texture will be placed.
5- Now go back to the texture's layer and invert the selection (you can use CTRL + I or just looking for the option)
6- Cut that selection using CTRL + X (you can also delete it with eraser tool but with cutting it is a shortcut basically lol)
7- Flatten and enjoy :gamba:
Extra: Again, to highlight the details in the texture, you can apply light and constract settings just like in the past method.
Extra II: after you cut the excedent on the texture, you can make that texture gray (just go to adjustments and pick black & withe), go to layer settings and pick overlay blend to get the color that you already have in your track
C- Do it by yourself
The most complicated now we're on the hardest way to do textures and its basically doing them by yourself, there's no much that i could explain because i rarely do a whole track doing textures by myself such as these kind of tiles:
As you can guess... is a headache but it worths.... sometimes
Said that, for another day i'll explain some basic stuff about lightning and shadows and how to do them (a least on my way)so cya fellas.

Something you HATE a lot

Maybe you'll hate me for this, but I really hate modern music. I don't want to hear Sigma Sigma Boy or Thick Of It again, just lemme chill and listen to shit from the nineties and noughties
I agree, Sig-a-ma Boy is just so damn annoying.

Honestly? Homework. We already work 8 hours a day, we really shouldn't need to work at home as well. I don't want to hear nothing about "practicing", cause it ain't what it's about anymore. Oral presentations that take up hours of work and care, which are multiple btw (I have like 5 to do at the same time currently) is not practicing what you learn at school. One or two exercises about the notions you learnt? That is practicing. Preparing a book in which you need to note down everything that happens in a fucking book after taking hours already to read it, and then also requiring to decorate it and "put heart in it" is just ridiculous. Practicing what you learn should not take more than 30 minutes per day, 1 hour on the days where you got a lot to go over. But it is not the truth, I do my homework at school and at home, and it still takes up a lot of damn time. And even when I do skip something accidentally or because I genuinely don't have time to do it, I pay for it hard (not passing exams and having less than half the maximal score). And it pisses me off that these days, someone will pull out ChatGPT and have as good as a production as I do, despite the fact it took me like 10 times the amount of work, effort and time than it took to these folks. And it is tiring, it is stressful (I hate oral presentations with a burning passion), it is something that one, should not exist, and two, completely lost the point and the meaning of even existing over time. And the worst part is, learning classes for me is extremely easy, like I'm one of the students with the best memory and I catch up on most stuff pretty easily. Doesn't mean I am lazy, doesn't mean I don't do shit. So I can't imagine how hard it is for the students that struggle and have to go over something for 1 hour only to pass by like the bare minimum. And they wonder why the generations now don't like to pursue their studies after graduating... I know I will, but I cannot for my entire life blame someone for it or even call them lazy for it. I could never.
If there was a "pin this message" option I would've definetly done it this is the truest and most real answer I've ever seen on this forum.

I think this is getting too easy. Try doing tracks from this multicup:

Says the dude who never guessed anything in the topic. That message should be deleted for advertizing to be honest. It's no the way you'll get players to play your multicup.https://mkpc.malahieude.net/map.php?mid=7452

So I plan on adding a BCP(Booster Course Pass)to Super Yoshi Kart Ultra.
It will have Retro tracks from every MK game (No MKT), But if I add MKT these 2 would be.
Sky-High Sundae
Squeaky Clean Sprint
EDIT Lakeside Park Map X)

In the gaming universe, we don't say "double accounts" but "alt (=alternative) accounts".

In the Challenge Editor, the Additional Constraint "In n-th place or less" can be missunderstood because less could either mean less than 2nd (from 2nd to last place) or less than 2nd mathematically (because 1 is less than 2).
Replace the word "less" by "better".
Correction:
in 2nd place or better
Replace the word "less" by "better".
Correction:
in 2nd place or better
