If you guys pay attention to me closely, You might notice I'm making Tons of Custom Tracks. I'm making a Upcoming Multicup called Proud Racing Stars with 32 Planned Nitro Tracks, No retros But if I do math, 1mb size tracks / 25 mb then that's 128% oversize, so If I deleted all my other customs and just focus on PRS, each track would be at max 781kb in size, But Some tracks. Like Chromatic Coaster and Toxicity Powerplant I made Thinner. On Purpose


Now PRS Will be special, It will be divided into 4 Difficulties of Cups with diff colors, Easy Green, Medium Yellow, Hard Red and Expert Purple,

Easy will be wide and open without any hazards like Simple Circuit or Sunset Beach rn.

But Expert on Other hand is like narrow (30 pixels wide road) with tons of Turns and well, Annoying for some, Like Chromatic Coaster and Toxicity Powerplant,

Now on Average, I use 40 Pixel Wide Roads, But some Might think that's to Narrow, But that's almost the same size as the Wider straight after 1st turn on Tick Tock Clock (41 pixels wide). Another Example Figure 8 Circuit Roads are about 70 Pixels wide (which is rather wide In my Opinion)



SOOOOOO I might increase the size of my tracks roads for future tracks, Still Decently Wide But I'm not making them 70 Pixels wide or like 100, Since then it's not as fun :/


(why did i always do 40 pixels sometimes 30? I like thinner tracks not 200 pixel wide road for a custom track made in photoshop in like 4 minutes)



So yeah what are your thoughts on my future plans

I have realized I have made my roads too big. I'm probably going to do multiplayer with my friends (like normal).

You can completely bypass this limit by using a filehosting site like File Garden (a little bonus is you can go up to 5MB per track).

You completely skipped over the middle! The most recommended road width (sourced from many of the best track creators) is between 48-68 pixels. Many of your tracks can easily be resized to have a 48 pixel road width without changing the layout at all and the tracks would be way better.

While some base game tracks have tighter widths, but the base game isn't really a good inspiration for track making.

Now i have to say, i'm a thin road enjoyer aswell, some of my favorite tracks, like this one, uses 48 pixel road widths. But 40 pixels might be pushing it for me, and 30 IS pushing it too far. It's good that you plan on making your tracks wider, keep this range in mind.

I'm not sure how Filegarden whatever works, But My next Tracks I'm doing 53-45 pixels wide rn, I always liked 40 though, also How does bypassing 25mb total size mkpc tracks even work I'm confused, my brain is not wired for filegarden since it's complicated :/

I always wondered why I was diff, I enjoyed thinner tracks, Now I'ma try to take as much of this info, IDK how that 5MB track limit works as well. Since I'm no computer and file expert :(

For my track width Limits, 70 is pushing as to large, 40 is my personal best, 30 is I still like it, But anything I see below 20 is pushing it for me. I can do it But 20 is to narrow at that point

You can just use any image hosting site (https://imgbb.com/ for example) and the file size limit will be whatever that sites limit is.

nvm I found a way to do It by using Postimage since Filegarden whatever kept not loading :/
