It dictates which character should this pack replace, as well as the custom character names in different languages. This file is the only mandatory one for the Character Pack to be recognized by the mod. The contents of the root folder have the following structure:

This folder (which will be refered to as the root folder) can have any name, as long as it is less than 32 letters. In order to trigger a patch, do any operation in the Custom Character Manager (such as disabling and then enabling a custom character).Įach Character Pack contents must be placed inside its own folder. NOTE: Keep in mind that modifications to files in a character pack may not take effect until the next patch. In order to load or unload the Character Packs, a game reboot must be triggered (by closing and opening CTGP-7, for example), which will patch the necessary files. Wiimms mario kart fun has a similar Race.Character packs can be individually enabled from the CTGP-7 Custom Character Manager.


Only one or few very old versions should be open source so one could theoretically get that Race.szs file, but the cup icons back then are very pixelated iirc, so not a better solution. Since I don't play custom tracks really often, this is not a really big deal for me, but I wanted to let you know.ĬTGP uses a custom Race.szs (iirc) that contains a cup icons or whatever it was named image file, so swapping the custom character image files in that file and putting it into My Stuff will do the job unfortunately if I’m not wrong all newer versions of CTGP are not open source so that file can’t be accessed unless MrBean or someone else gives it to us. Yoshi's Egg trophy, Ice Flower trophy, Bowser's Shell trophy.). Finally, since some of these files are relative to the menu, so modding them will corrupt the custom trophies' icons (e.g. It's a merge between the two files that will prevent the game from crashing.

To avoid so, I suggest you to download this version. Also, the Award.szs file will probably crash the game as soon as the "ceremony" scene starts: this happens because in Mario Kart Wii's file system there are two different files named "Award.szs", and CTGP would replace both of them. A few notes: first, while the only file that contains the 32x32 icon (the one used for the minimap) is Race.szs, all other files contain the 64圆4 icon (the one used for the menu), some of them even two times (MenuMulti.szs, MenuOther.szs and even Race.szs itself). Which you can easily dump with WiiXplorer.
