Like every month, find the latest development of Mario Kart Source, even if nothing new has been made.

This month, most of the dev-team doesn't have lot of time (or no time at all), some are busy with school / work, other with life problems... so only a few progress has been made...

Hello folks !

Lot of things happened during those last months! New coders, mapping progress, here is the summary of the latest months.

You can see the whole news at this adress : www.mariokartsource.com/

Thanks for your support.

Haha, I'm back! This time I have something new for you! But before I say anything about that, just a word on what's going on with the team.

Recently a new member, Micah, joined the team. He will help by doing some modelling and graphics. Another graphic artist may follow Micah by joining soon. Hopefully that will move ahead the mod a little, I want to play!

And now, I'm going to talk about something that you've never seen. A new map: Luigi Raceway! This map is a race map, easy to run just because there aren't lot of curves here. Two big curves, with a long road and a tunnel, where players usually put items like fake item boxes. Not hard, huh? A great map for beginners. I successfully got some screens of the map, still WIP, it's why it looks like models and textures are low quality.


Wait! Do you know what the fake item box is? It's simple: it looks exactly like those real item boxes you use to collect items. You just place the fake one on the road, and if another player who thinks it's a real box takes it, they will just crash. It's very funny to see opponents falling for it, muahaha! Any way to know if an item box is faked? Well, there are a few differences between real item boxes and fake item boxes, like the question mark. But you will see that when playing (I want to see everybody crashing into it, I know I'm evil. *huhu*).

I'll continue with a few words on another character: Luigi! Luigi is Mario's brother (another plumber...), and if Luigi didn't dress himself in green clothes but red ones, we could totally mistake them, even if Luigi is taller than Mario. It's why that on the road, their characteristics aren't so much different.

And for finish, some details on the controller support. I often see people asking if their control pad will work, if the Xbox 360 controller is good.... The team can't tell you if your controller will works just because they don't have it. To know, just try to play any Source game/mod with your controller: if it works, it will also works with Mario Kart Source!
(by the way, the Wiimote works using GlovePIE!)

This is it for today. Come back in two weeks for more information!

Thanks for you attention. ~ Page Piranha ~ The MKS Team (contact us at mariokartsource[at]weaven.fr )

Muhahaha! It's me, once again... Page Piranha! Kneel down against my power...

Haha! Today I'm going to introduce one character, one weapon and one level. But first, some news from the team. The main coder, OneEyed, is still working on the kart prediction. Prediction is something very complex between the player and the server, and it's designed to reduce the ping and make the game more fluid for the slower connections. The Source Engine is not thought for the race games, so we are doing everything from scratch.

Okay. Do you remember the Green Shell? The Red Shell is looking the same... with only one difference: it's red. Simple, right? The real difference is in how it functions: the red shell follows the player right in front of you until it hits him or any other obstacle. If the Red Shell is shot backwards, it acts just like a Green shell. Oh, by the way, you can keep your shells behind your kart as a shield against the other shells!



Yoshi is a worshipped dinosaur, he is the Mario's best friend and he follows him around like a dog in all his adventures. Yoshi is able to say a few words, like "Yoshi", "Yoshi?", "Yoshi!" and "Yah-ooo!". Without a doubt he is the most popular racer of all those in Mario Kart. Some members of the forum are dedicated to him like a cult... They are sick.

I'm closing this news with a famous level: Doubledeck! This awesome level from MK64 will be in MKS, for our great pleasure. Thanks to KillerMapper



And voilà, I wish you the best holidays and good luck for your exams.

Hello, humans. Welcome to Mario's world, my name is Page and you are all weak.

Someone paid me to write this shi.... this news. Firstly, I'm going to talk about the Dev Team. These guys are a group of hippies from all over the world. Their job is to make the "greatest Mario Kart ever", taking the best from each game. They are actually working on some nice things and levels, like the Race Mode, Skyscraper, Big Donut, and much other things.

Their leader, SilentJoker, left them some months ago. Now the rest of the team have taken command. They can make their own decisions now, so it's easier for administrating the forums and the website. Sh4rk left us too because his job is done here, and he said he doesn't need to stay anymore. Shadowwill also left us because of his studies. Studies and jobs are the plague of the team: All work is volunteer, with real life a constant obstacle in the mod development....
