Track Details

Path Points: ~800 (any number is fine) Triangle Count: Original tracks average ~6000 triangles

• SpaghettiKart will start losing fps after ~100k triangles

Starting Line Width: 1.75 units
Track Boundaries: +-32767.0 in Blender units this is +-1310.68 (32767 / 25)

• Note that this allows a very big track

Track Widths:

• Wide: 1.5 points to 2.7 points.
• Medium: 1.5 points to 1 point.
• Narrow: 1 point to 0.5.*

The Laws of SpaghettiKart

• Track geography must be a plane, not a box
  • A flat track with a basic plane (square), needs to be turned into triangules and/or subdivided a few times, otherwise the collision generation will 'wig out', placing the racers incorrectly
• The starting line must face north
  • In Blender: Positive Green Y Axis
  • In game: Negative Z axis
• The meshes anchor needs to be center of mass or at 0,0,0
  • Otherwise the mesh will have a weird offset.
• Do not draw your path backwards (In blender turn on normals on the bezier curve to see the direction)
• The first path point is set at 0,0,0
• Recommend a scaling of 25 in the F3D Exporter window
• Must be 10 path points behind the starting line

Collision Surface Extra Types

Colouring vertices the following colours will set these actions for that area.

• Player Tumbles: RGB(153, 0, 153)
• No Collision: RGB(0, 153, 153)
• Darkens the player: RGB(255, 0, 0)
• Out of Bounds: RGB(230, 204, 0)
