Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart and Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers are standalone mods of a mod based on the Doom Legacy engine, turning the game into a kart racer similar to Super Mario Kart. Both games are lightweight and can run on most modern PCs.
Use this thread to start netgames, join other anons, give help/tips, spritework, modding, feedback, etc.

>How to Play (SRB2K)
Follow the guide here: https://kartinvidya.me/guide/#before-installing/

>How to Play (DRRR)
Download/compile the game here: https://github.com/KartKrewDev/RingRacers
Make sure to unlock almost all of the important content, including multiplayer, with the included PASSWORDS.txt file.

>Do we have a /v/ server?
For SRB2K, yes! We're running a modified executable that allows for 256 characters and up to 32 racers, along with a large quantity of QoL improvements. The guide should link to the custom client, but in case you missed it, download the latest release here:
https://github.com/NepDisk/srb2k-neptune/releases

>What happened to the mods MEGA folder?
No need for it! Since we have upgraded to a new server with faster in-game downloader!

>Joining a server
1. From the title screen, go to 'Multiplayer'

ring racers noire would have more eyes on it if they just released an executable and not forcing you to build it yourself

Chances are an executable will be made in the future but only when they've gotten enough done to warrant making one.

Unless the people behind it are waiting for 2.4 to drop i have no idea why it's not released already
>>
Can someone explain to a complete retard how to create a script to load all mods at once?
>>
>>1328503
not sure if kart has it in the same way, but for regular SRB2 if you make a file called autoexec.cfg, then in the file write
>addfile mod.pk3
it'll load the mod as soon as you load the game. not sure how to do multiple files, you might need to do multiple addfiles or you might be able to string them together with quotes or something

you can also make a batch file to do basically the same thing, main difference is that instead of addfile mod.pk3 you instead write
>srb2kart(-neptune).exe -file "mod.pk3" "mod2.pk3" "mod3.pk3" etc.
>>

Thanks bro. the batch file with
>"ringracers.exe -skipintro -file "1.wad" (etc) worked to even skip the stupid intro and load all 40+ mods I had once inserted

>can someone give me a qrd on what the hell a doctor robotnik ring racer is?
a shit game
keep playing srb2k until the noire exe comes out
>>
>>1333060
SRB2Kart, except the devs did everything in their power to make it not play like Mario Kart anymore. Whether or not that's a good thing is for you to decide.
>>
>>1333060
It was v2, then they decided they wanted to do a bunch of different stuff that would be too radical for an update, so now it's a different game. It's not bad but people here hate it a lot because it's different.
>>
>>1333138
It's not bad, but it's very frustrating to play singleplayer. If it were dialed back in a few aspects I think a lot of people would have such a big problem
>>
>>1333143
it has been multiple times already.
>>
>>1333143
I personally think it's fine singleplayer. People just get too caught up in the idea that you need to come 1st every single time when it's possible to come in 4th like 3 times and still end up in 1st with a special stage if you're not playing completely terrible.
>>
>>1333149
>>1333185
It's hard to explain, I know the game is technically easier now but it's still frustrating to play singleplayer. It's not really one thing that makes it difficult for me but the cocktail of hard maps, hard special stages, rivals rubberbanding hard, tumbling for a long time and trying to S rank cups makes it a little unfun as a whole. But I will admit, I could just be bad at the game.
>>
>>1333581
Thats generally the consensus, that the single player racing itself isn't hard, but Kart Krew pilled on enough minor annoyances and weird choices that all combined ruin the experience.
>>
It's almost been a month since the latest patch. Will they fix shit and add that faggot Vector? Or are we getting very specific bug fixes no one is ever going to run into that changes nothing?
>>
>>1333060
It's the bastard child of mario kart and F-zero except worse than either two
having said this this game doesn't really try to be F-zero but more like it tries to be Wipeout
>>
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like Relaxed is too easy most of the time while Intense ramps things up too much after the first race. At least Vicious feels like it's at the right difficulty, even if I get my ass handed to me regularly there.
>>
>>1334411
Problem with relaxed is the AI is not only easier but the game is set to the equivalent of 100cc. It's way too slow to be fun.
>>
>>1334532
Yep. I also noticed with Vicious, even though the CPU is really difficult, the fact you're in Gear 3 really helps you to catch back up to the pack, compared to how slowly you move with Gear 1 or even 2. I felt sometimes like I was doing equally well on Vicious as I was Intense.
>>
My bet 2.4 is adding a lot of content
>>
>>1335144
glad I havent touched ring racers yet then, hopefully they remove the ring mechanic
>>
>>1335278
I don't expect the fundamental mechanics to change much, best case scenario is that a lot of the awful maps get reworked
>>
Rings are the best mechanic in the game
>>
>>1335436
and why do you think that?
>>
>>1335436
it LITERALLY on the name
>>
>>1333921
You gotta remember that the first two patches for this game were basically damage control patches because these retards thought that the base 2.0 version would be gods gift to the world only to backpedal and realize that it wasn't. It's probably going to take them awhile to fix a lot of the games issues at the pace they're going with, because of the sheer amount of stuff that still needs tweaking. 2.4 will probably be a roster update and maybe some extra stuff like disabling alternate music/my music slider because this game wants to be Smash bros so badly.

Jacky has precedent in that he's the actual nascar driver even in-universe

The CPU doesn't really "rubberband" I think, they just have a bunch of cope speedboosts to make up for not drifting. The rival gets a couple extra ones (like doubled ringboosts) and higher AI level.

nta but that was from v1. There is a Flonne mod for Ring Racers which is probably made by the same person, considering the sprites are the same, and her "working designs" sign is Flonnezilla, just like on the main server

>>Sonic Shorts 9 just removed one short after the animator was outed as an ERPing porn addict
For what it's worth, someone managed to archive it. Also I find it amusing how they'll remove anything a groomer touches, but Kart Krew is still perfectly fine with Charyb on their team.

Backported Emerl and BattleKuku as promised, and included Maria as a bonus. Also went ahead and added Gum to the pack as well.

honestly I feel like the lap bonus sysyem was an attempt to discourage bagging as-is
trying to bag in ELO-based servers will usually get you at BEST a C rank or lower, and depending on placement D and E ranks drop your kartscore into the gutter
obviously none of that matters in a tournament setting, which is where this issue mainly lies

KEK

I finished watching the whole tournament and these races are really boring to watch as aside from a literal small handful of moments like webm rel, everyone's just playing the same with people going for invincibility + jackpot chains or it's shrink ruining the race for everyone as people get hit by 3+ lasers stacked in a chokepoint while the guy who used it gets a 30sec grow and stacks it with invinc/jackpot chains and takes every cut for free.

Even people I see that try holding onto the flame shield or doing bubble hops usually just get BTFO by all the item spam and multiple people stacking invincibility so they quickly use the bubble or flame shield so they can get invinc or jackpot chain. The stream chat seethes eternally at all the players bagging and pretending that the item balance isn't hot garbage, even the commentators are saying that excessive bagging is the only optimal strat kek

I also find it funny the hosters took out every track that has crushers in it because of a AI bug KK haven't patched where after a player finishes the race and their kart gets controlled by AI, if the AI gets crushed then the player's score is reset kek. Also weird they don't play on gear 3

This feels like a repeat of what happened to TF2. This game is clearly designed for the "middle" skill group between casualfags and tourneyfags. Casualfags get too owned by all the insane weird chaos and Tourneyfags optimize the fun out of it and turn the chaos into something completely fucking rancid.
I don't know if there's a solution, because tilting the balance towards casuals will just turn this shit into Mario Kart Slop and too many of the fun mechanics would fall to pieces if tuned for turbosweaty tournament fags.
>>
>>1345041
KK already have longtime srb2k players like tb1 and KK have already said they don't care about the reception from casuals because they think the game's design is good which is of course hypocritical with how fast they were patching the game and banning people who call out and criticize the game's bad design on launch
the reaction from the tourney is just an extension of things that have already been said by lots of players plenty of times
>>1345059
TF2 is different because compfags only play comp in their own servers and they have their own plugins/blacklists that casual players will never encounter them
The worst thing on casual/community servers is friend groups doing pocket combos to farm the server but that's done by comp players and non-comp players
In RR, both casuals and comp players are making the exact same complaints
>turn this shit into Mario Kart Slop
that's already the current state with all the excessive bagging
>>
mart kartkrew needs to push out that next patch with the new characters and rethink the whole game to nerf bagging.

mk8dx did that to a degree.

>Invincibility, Grow and Shrink do not appear in the item roulette normally

You think that would fix bagging?
>>
>>1345114
you'd have to add garden top and rockets, at which point you've locked out half the item pool.
This would also completely pigeonhole trap item placement (except for eggboxes).
>>
>>1345122
The other big boost items like top, rockets and flame shield don't make you invincible, nor do they fuck over everyone ahead of you, so you'd have to play carefully to take full advantage of them

>>1345125
neither does grow.
>>
>>1343811
>trying to bag in ELO-based servers will usually get you at BEST a C rank or lower
reiterating this given current events
while this won't fix anything about the current item balance, if KK doesn't rebalance the game in the next few updates I can completely see tourney hosts switching to rank based scoring
it wouldn't eliminate last lap bagging bullshit but it would prevent shit like astro winning an entire tournament JUST by bagging
>>
>>1345128
Being able to plow through spikes and other hazards makes it roughly the same tier as invincibility

Nintendo never fixed bagging in MK8 and it's at it's worst in that game compared to previous MKs
The 2nd item box was a bandaid fix but all it did was make bagging even more optimal because instead of getting one item you can stack 2 which makes it worse for players that dislike it
Even when Nintendo did a patch to try and fix bagging during the wave DLC, they didn't fix it properly as you can still do it like in webm rel
The reason why bagging is so bad in MK8 is because of the changed item logic which is far inferior to MKWii and MKDS as in MK8 items work like
>Items are based on distance from 1st place, not position
>There are no restrictions on shock which is why one person can get and use shock while another person rolls shock and then uses it again a couple secs after. MKWii for example had a built block that it's impossible for another shock to appear for at minimum the next 30secs after one is used and only one player can roll a shock
>Lack of restrictions on stars and bullet bills which is why you can have races where there's: 4 stars being active, 2 bullet bills active, 1 guy uses shock (another guy rolls it within 10secs), 2 gold mushrooms active etc
>More spam items that are just filler and clutter up the item pool as they all have similar design (boomerang, fireball)
>More item spam devalues the impact speed items have (mushrooms, gold mushrooms) so the meta devolves into wanting stars, bullets, and shock as they make the most impact
>>
>>1345114
>Shrink
Shrink either needs to be disabled/deleted or heavily reworked so that multiple lasers don't appear in chokepoints and are properly spaced out, and maybe make the trail slightly shorter and the lasers slower.
It also probably shouldn't give grow to the user because for the vast majority of tracks grow can last for an entire lap or multiple laps on smaller courses
Should probably only show up for last place and 2nd to last too
The Insect Swarm item from SEGA Transformed works similiarly to shrink in that it causes hazards to appear on the track the racers have to dodge but they're always well spaced out and leave big enough openings that it's fun to dodge them and drift around them when you're snaking all over the track
>Invincibility
This is fine on it's own, the problem is that you stack it with Jackpot chains as Jackpot is easy to roll in timing and gives you a speed boost that's better than sneakers
KK should get rid of the added time from hitting people with it but make the base time a little longer, and make ring boxes roll even faster if you're invincible so it's harder to get jackpots
>Grow
This is also fine as it's weaker than it's srb2k version
Grow is a hinderance on most tracks as the heavier weight makes the physics fuck up really easily and hot garbage on water tracks or doing water skips because of water physics and the physics on uphills can be garbage too
Grow can be countered by tops, invincibility, and insta whip too
The problem of Grow is when the shrink user gets it for free and they can stack it with invincibility/ring boxes which offsets Grow's downsides
>Suggestion
Doesn't change anything because you just need to roll shrink once and it's an auto win as consistently seen in that entire tourney
>>
>>1345156
I feel like the proper solution to shrink is to go from this "determine shrink laser position based on checkpoints" system to "have shrink lasers be manually set per-map", because the current issue with it is that the game has a bad habit of spamming shrink lasers in a really lopsided, nonsensical way, especially on small courses.
>>
>>1345122
>Top
Item is fine but it appears too often, should only be given to lower half of positions
>Rockets
Also fine, sneakers are bad in RR and rocket is the only good version, it's a hindrance to get this item as flame shield, shrink, invincibility, top, bubble are all better speed items
The best use this has is for taking cuts or building up a big sliptide boost just like how sneakers only use is for taking a cut but you're not expecting to catch up with it
>>1345138
>hosts switching to rank based scoring
That is the only real solution so far in vanilla's current state kek
Lap bonus should be expanded so that you get given points in every position instead of only 1st-4th counting and the number of points you get each lap from lap bonuses is what decides your total score instead of the usual position based scoring
That makes frontrunning actually optimal as players don't want to waste 1-2 laps bagging if it means they lose the tourney because too little points
Astro also wasn't the only one bagging, tons of players were doing it the entire tourney because it's the only optimal way to play because of KK's design

actually to add to this I also forgot to mention
>Coin shows up too often especially for 1st
>2nd place can get triple reds, but 1st only gets: 1 green, 1 banana, coin, horn to defend themselves with
>reds have extreme homing with very little offset compared to previous MKs and it has too long a range when thrown. Players can be a corner behind a racer in front but the red will perfectly go around corners and track even though the guy ahead isn't on screen
>Bullets can last way too long in MK8 especially when players figure out the correct places on the track to use them in
>Blooper is useless in it's design to block your view as it barely covers the screen
>>
>>1345185
cheesed land my behated
>>
>>1345169
>only 1st-4th counting
as a slight correction to this: 1st already gets 2 lap bonus per lap, and being in the top half at all gives only one
ranks are affected by both lap bonus and position, and placing bottom half means that unless you were steamrolling until the final lap, you're getting no better than an E

I'm realizing now how flawed a scoring system using either could end up being in practice
if you go with bonus based scoring, the race comes down to who can maintain first for all 3 laps, and will lead to predictable results
but going with rank based scoring means bottom half is cucked out of getting points (theoretically, E rank would just give you no points)

>>1345195
Rank based scoring sounds good until you realize that it is literally impossible to recover from a single bad lap, as you can get at most 4 points. It's also very possible to be behind for most of the race but get in first at the end of each lap, I've gotten a 6/6 on races I was either barely frontrunning or outright far behind on for a good chunk because a good power item can get you to 1st very easily, even if it's hard to maintain because of bagging
>>
>>1345302
You can still quasi-bag with ranked based scoring by stealing 1st at the end of laps and the droping places to do it again. Then all you need is to finish in 1st-3rd for a full score when totaled up.

Listen, I was doing this to fuck with Astro. It was a pyrrhic victory to not allow him shrink in this one race even though he had guaranteed 1st by this point

IMO KK really fucking screwed up balancing hard for what Astro said, it's more of a haha funni clip generator than anything.

The command randomlistchar has been updated to also allow you to pick colors. In your randomcharacters.txt file, you can define colors for the skin by using "skinname;red" instead of just "skinname" for the line. You can also use "skinname;default" to use the skin's default color. "skinname" is still valid, it will just use whatever color you had last.

Also a Neptune update, but you aren't required to update your clients for this one.

fucking hate that about girl pack. retard said some shit like they didn't want to do individual characters because "it's more trouble than it's worth." and "it's disheartening when I put all of this love and care into my character packs and people only use the two or three characters..." like yes retard. That's the entire point of this fucking game and the last one. These games are customizable and so people can build their own rosters. If people don't want your shitty FF7 shit (because it's the only FF game these retards play anyway) then they don't have to get if they don't want it. This modern art mentality shit needs to die man

>>1350832
the game needed another year of testing. both for bugs and actually having all weight types playable without mods. plus choosing your item is bound to lead to dumb-fuck levels of bagging
>>
>>1350973
The recent events certainly make the “we tested this with amateur players outside the inner circle” statement less believable. People were probably tryharding in the sessions so much that nobody stopped to think "what if I intentionally stayed behind to farm the good items?"
>>
>>1351288
i think they probably did but only for the tutorial they're so proud of
>>
>>1351491
That makes even less sense because the tutorial is overly long and under-informative, and you know the latter immediately when you get into your first race and are presented with the positioning phase.
>>
>>1351288
they didn't test jack shit i'm sure of it. how many people 'tested' the game in the credits anyways?

They definitely did pick up testers at some point, pic related for example, but the apparent problem is that most if not all of the test audience was turbo autists who knew SRB2Kart from the inside out. KK needed Valve-tier retards to test alongside them to ensure the game would appeal to the general public.
>>
>>1351558
That first paragraph is on the nose. Some tracks have spots where if you get hit, your just so slow and heavy and in such a ditch that it's difficult to get out relatively fast. Natural spin dashing is the way to get out but golly
>>
>>1351558
>KK needed Valve-tier retards to test alongside them
I mean, as far as we know, they did. Several of the devs claim to have gotten their parents/grandparents.

>>
>>1349737
kind of late to this but as someone who's posting their own characters to the board it's a mindset that boggles my mind
it's like why would you make it more inconvenient for people to use your own pack
and the weirdest thing is that it's a mindset many others have??
it's not even that hard to manage all those .pk3s, since most of the time you'll not even change anything from most characters
it's so dumb

Only real reasons I can think of people to not want to make separate versions of each character is because they're either very lazy and can't be bothered, or because of the personal desire to have people use the WHOLE pack than part of the pack (even though chances are they're just gonna rip what they want out anyway).
I get wanting to keep everything consolidated and for people to appreciate the work you put into the whole character pack, but at the same time it's a detrimental mentality to have and is just kinda annoying, like it takes just a couple of minutes to set up separate character downloads why can't you just do it now you lazy bum
>>

>make a popular character (i.e. mario)

It's not that hard to understand why.
>>
>>1350973
>the game needed another year of testing.
the fact that this opinion is so common despite the game taking half a decade is honestly embarrassing
makes me wonder what the hell KK was doing in that timeframe, or what the dev process was even like beyond "it works, we're done here"
>>
>>1351894
i'm convinced they were too busy sniffing their own farts during those 5 years

People tend to demonize early access, and for understandable reasons, but this is the opposite side of the coin. A bunch of shut-in devs who believe that everything they make is perfect and the entire playerbase will happily accept their work.

Sorry, I had to. Been working on porting Grotesque Steve to Ring Racers for the past few days, and while it's not perfect (I didn't make the original mod, but I did want to dip my toes into seeing how Aseprite works, some things might still look wrong) I feel like it's in a good enough state where I feel like he can be released publicly. Stats are the same as in SRB2K (and Orta, by extension)

(Onyo, you're going to kill me.)
I've updated KVChars_DRRRLua to 1.3.1, and updated Elimination to 1.3.5:
>Characters turn, glance and look during sliptides now, just as they do in RR.
>Glancing now takes BT_LOOKBACK into account, hopefully this means rearview glancing can actually synch.
>Death animations have been made to be more modular, using an array-based animation system.
>No Contests and (and eliminations during Elimination) now also feature deathflings (if death animations are enabled).
>Death sprites overall have been mostly rewritten to be more synch-safe. As such, the default deathtype has been reset to Explosive.
>Elimination has been updated to have deathflings for the DRRR Lua pack.
>A visual chart is included with the .zip and .pk3 files to hopefully make backports using the lua easier.
Wanted to at least fix up the shit that was bugging me regarding prior versions, especially the death desynchs. All I can do is hope it doesn't break, but I won't hold my breath over that.

Quick update to 1.3.2, redid the drift sprites for all characters as they originally used the incredibly distracting DRLI and DRRI sprites. Instead, the DRLN and DRRN sprites were used this time around.

One more: I've updated WackassBalance to have sliptide boosts (or "wavedashes") from DRRR.
Don't expect more ports from me after this, I need a break from this game's dumbass code.
Also, I have not tested this in a net environment at all, so here's hoping no synch retardation happens.

Peabrain developers, as if it that wasn't already obvious.
The Sonic 3 Competition mode tracks would of been more tolerable if they hadn't forced you to do all of them in one cup. The Mega tracks get away with it though because they aren't as obnoxiously designed.

Probably a mercy rule, since in most cases a retry is better for your rank than finishing below 4th would be.

Because there's like 150 courses, of coyrse they're going to test out weird gimmicks in there somewhere.

Vicious/Gear 3 isn't really that hard except for the bottom last 4 cups and the UFO Catcher Special Stages demoting your S Rank to As and B's by using Continues.

The nucode to prevent disconnections on desyncs sends the entire netvar packet again to everyone, it's backported from DRRR. I guess that triggers something in the paraglider code, apparently.

I actually like that ideal and it was actually done right with City Escape and Lost Ark nearly being 1-1 with its SA2 counterpart.
Where things go to shit is when tracks like Dead Line or Advent Angel or those shrine tracks in >>1363815 that go so hard on the gimmicks that actual driving means nothing and only power items+retarded shortcuts are the deciding factor.

Alternatively, how about this:
Don't block the road with objects that only exist to slow you down unless you use up all of your resources. Placing rings after the boxes is just a band-aid fix.
>>
>>1364004
>Don't block the road with objects that only exist to slow you down unless you use up all of your resources
There are plenty of options to get through without burning all your resources.
>most items break the boxes
>high speeds break through the boxes without being slowed down as much, if at all
Burning to 0 for an instawhip isn't mandatory, it's just an option you always have available.
>>
>>1363978
It's more optimal to hit the box directly and save your rings to use them for downhills (or staying straight after the boost panel leading to the park area) because it's retarded to burn all of your rings to 0 just to break a box faster but then have to go wide to pick up more rings on the side and lose time for that especially when rings are what make you go fast in the first place as base speed is shit. That becomes even more relevant for the box line with the boost panels
It'd also be even more retarded to do that in a race because you'll just get combo'd by items or collision and hitstop is already shit enough to deal with

The only time it's optimal to insta whip the boxes is the box line you're forced to go through after you drive down the building (and that's only if nobody else is close to you) and the 1st box line you're forced to go through when you start the final lap as you should be using the trick panel to fly through it unless of course other players are right next to you

Insta whipping the boxes is also slower than just directly bonking them if you end up breaking 3+ boxes with insta whip because of the forced slowdown from hitstop
>>
>>1364132
Stuff that's "optimal" in a vacuum may not be optimal in an actual race. If you have a strong enough lead that you can get away with instawhipping the boxes for a clean break, that's probably the smartest option since there are very few spots in City Escape where you actually have to fuck up your line to quickly recover rings after the boxes. You also have iframes during instawhip anyways so it's not like you're going to get owned because of the box hitstop leaving you open to an item.

The boxes are a check for whether or not you can properly evaluate risk and use the resources you have available to you in an intelligent way.
>Insta whipping the boxes is also slower than just directly bonking them if you end up breaking 3+ boxes with insta whip because of the forced slowdown from hitstop
Hitstop only "slows" you for the duration of the hitstop. It doesn't actually fuck up the current speed your going at. It's usually better to get caught in hitstop for a moment than to completely lose your momentum bonking the boxes.

To explain the new resync from SRB2 2.2 resends the entire save file kind of like the one you would usually download when you first join to the person who desyncs instead of just player coords like what v1 kart originally did which leads to your gamestate being reloaded for it. My best guess is that the paraglider lua thinks its being loaded for the first time again
>>
>>1364135
You didn't even read my post, everything I posted is the optimal thing to do in a race vs players and/or bots

If you're playing against skilled players who know the lines then they're going to be right beside you or barely behind you which makes dropping to 0 rings stupid because they will item you or collide into you and you'll get combo'd becaue of ring sting
If you're playing against shitters to the point you have a sizeable lead it is SLOWER to insta whip the boxes except for the two specific examples I already mentioned so I'm not going to waste time insta whipping when it's FASTER to bonk the box and use my rings for speed
If you're against good players and magically have a sizeable lead then you're still not going to insta whip all the boxes because you know they'll catch up with how shit the item balance is so I'm not going to waste my rings insta whipping when you can use them optimally in a race for speed

There is no "evaluate risk and use the resources" you dumbass shill because rings are the one consistent thing players always have that make them go faster so wasting your rings to insta whip all the boxes is retarded
>It's usually better to get caught in hitstop for a moment than to completely lose your momentum bonking the boxes.
KEK
Post your City Escape RA time with a video of you wasting rings to insta whip all the forced box lines to prove it's fast. You won't though because you know what you're saying is bullshit

>>
>>1364981
You're posting a lot of ultra-specific scenarios to argue against a point I never made. What I said was that instawhipping the boxes is an option, and it is often faster than just slamming into the boxes. It is not the only option, nor is it always the correct one. The boxes exist as a way for the game to make you think about your current situation and what would be optimal AT THAT MOMENT. If you've already burned a bunch of rings to maintain your lead getting to the boxes, it's probably best to instawhip them. If you've got the speed, it might be best to use rings to maintain that speed and just crash right through them. If you've got an item, it would probably be best to use that. Hell, there's probably situations where if you're playing a heavyweight you might find the most optimal option to be letting 2nd place pass you so you can do a donut and get a driftboost to overtake while he kills his momentum breaking the boxes. There's no "universal solution" to dealing with the boxes, and there shouldn't be. That's the whole point of the boxes.

Which is false you retarded shill and what I'm talking about if you could read
You'll never post proof of your claim but you'll continue making cope posts
>would be optimal AT THAT MOMENT
Which is always crashing into them aside from the 2 examples I mentioned
>If you've already burned a bunch of rings to maintain your lead getting to the boxes
A good player wouldn't do this because like I mentioned before if there's other players next you, you'll be combo'd by items for going to 0 rings. There are only 2 optimal spots to instawhip the boxes which you'll never understand as you're a shitter despite how much you shill for the game

If you have no items at the box lines then you won't go to 0 rings aside from the 2 spots because then you'll have no rings for speed after you pass them which means you'll then have to go wide to pick up more rings which is slow >>1364925
>If you've got an item, it would probably be best to use that.
If there's players near you, you won't waste an item for the box because that's retarded as you want to go for the player instead to slow them down or you'll place a trap item after the box line but you'll never waste it for the box itself

If you have a speed item, you won't use it for the boxes because it's faster to bonk them then use the speed item after

You're a shitter that doesn't know how to play the game despite how much you shill RR in this general
You'll never post your RA City Escape time which is proof your lines are dogshit
You'll never post a race video of you instawhipping every box line to show it's 'faster' than bonking them against Master CPU while frontrunning the entire race and never bagging

The Neptune build is an SRB2K fork currently being used and hosted as it allows 32-players and the hardcode has been tweaked to adjust item odds. In the past we used vanilla builds, but Kart has been delayed to death at this point where autists (not just our autists) have found exploits and players and communities have their own take on game balancing. Naturally, ours is the best and everyone else are retards. : )


Ring Racers is also currently having this fork to ideally merge Kart features and make Ring Racer’s “ITS A FEATURE”-features toggleable (which should’ve been from the start). Look into SRB2’s development to get a better idea of why both games are incompatible engine-wise.

The situation with Shrink being overtuned as fuck and retards not knowing how to instawhip leading to bagging (something that's a far worse problem in most other kart racers anyways) has nothing to do with being so shit at the game that you disable Ring Sting/Tumble.
If anything, disabling those makes bagging even worse.
>>
>>1365474
shrink is already turned off in almost every SRB2K server anyway so it's no problem turning it off and ring sting + tumble in RR
>>
>>1365481
Shrink is conceptually fine. Its main problem is that the amount of Grow it gives the player using it is way, way too strong. There needs to be a more aggressive cap on how much time it can give. The effects on the defending side (everyone else in the server) are usually fine, with the exception being the handful of tracks where the lasers get all clumped up in one spot for God knows what reason.
Ring Sting/Tumble cannot be removed without making the game VASTLY worse. It's the whole means by which the game punishes poor play. It's like removing the spinout when you hit a banana but still keeping the banana in the item pool as a defensive item or some shit; you've just made the game worse for no good reason.

The main sources of Tumble are Power Items, fucking up a trick, and fucking up a ramp jump. All power items are avoidable and give you plenty of warning if you're paying attention with the exception of the garden top, and you literally always have a universal, invincible counter with Instawhip that shuts everything in the game down if you time it correctly.
As for the other two, I shouldn't have to explain why fucking up a trick/ramp jump is your fault.
>>1365499
>KK apologists
I don't give a fuck about Kike Krew. Charyb is an overly hostile retard and the tutorial takes twice as long to convey half the information it should. The primary issue with the tournament is that bagging was overly prominent due to people having not yet learned how to properly use instawhip, as well as Shrink being way overtuned in general.
Not everything is some faggoty "us vs them" deal, you absolute scrublord retard.

Anon, have you never followed the development of any competitive game in your life? The meta takes time to develop because people need time to learn how shit works. There are games that change over the course of years simply because different people try different things. I'm not saying the "don't know how to play" I'm saying that the comp players aren't making full use of instawhip because none of them are comfortable with it yet, which leads to a meta in which bag items are more important because nobody's using the MAIN COUNTER to bag items.
>>
>>1365512
in a race of even 4 people including you and one hypothetical power item user, having an insta-whip ready to counter the power item will just set you up for ring sting by a third party or force you to use it on them instead, especially if you're in 1st
getting into this unwinnable situation is not poor play by the frontrunner and excessively punishes the mistake of being in 1st without bagging ahead of time
I can agree with tumbling if you miss a trick or something but the amount of tumble inflicted by power items is excessive and I greatly prefer their behavior in SRB2K
>>
Couldn't the power item users just see the instawhip affect on players and like, just avoid them?

>in a race of even 4 people including you and one hypothetical power item user, having an insta-whip ready to counter the power item will just set you up for ring sting by a third party or force you to use it on them instead, especially if you're in 1st
You know what? I don't entirely agree with your point, but I do think it might benefit the game to buff instawhip by having it set you back to 1 ring when you land it on another player regardless of how deep in ring debt you are.
>but the amount of tumble inflicted by power items is excessive and I greatly prefer their behavior in SRB2K
I personally don't, with the exception of Garden Top because Garden Top is kind of fucking ridiculous if it hits you at high speeds. I don't think removing tumble altogether is the answer, either.
>>
>>1365531
If the power item user fucks up their line to avoid instawhip, they still lose speed. The desired affect of "get the power item to fuck off" is still achieved, in that case.

>Just instawhip the invuln that it doesn't affect bro, like, just instawhip the top bro are you retarded or something?

Have you played the game at all? Instawhip literally hard counters invuln. Like, it completely nullifies it.
Hell, in battle mode it actually makes you steal the invuln. They should add that to normal races and see what happens.

I mean that sounds cool but I don't see it being beginner friendly. Little Jimmy will be in last, finally get invul then have it stolen, he wouldn't know what the hell just happened.

It's a lot easier to avoid someone ahead of you than someone behind you, though. Instawhip's value as a deterrent is a lot stronger than people are giving it credit for, it's just that it's suffering from the problem that nobody knows how to use it yet, which means nobody's scared of it.

I think Randomizing the roulette goes against the "everything you do in this game is deliberate" design philosophy they seem to be working with. Stealing the invuln might be too harsh, but the person instawhipping invuln should definitely get more of a direct benefit to encourage doing so; maybe an instant 20 rings or something.

>>The items are SUPPOSED to be extremely OP and this is a GOOD thing, bagging is okay!
Nigger did you read my post? The items are largely NOT extremely OP. The one that's currently the most fucked up is Shrink, and I 100% agree that it needs to be toned down.
>>Excessive bagging is only happening because the comp players DON'T UNDERSTAND the mechanics
Literally, yes. If more people used instawhip properly, more people would be scared of it, and bagging would be less of an issue. That's how these things work. The game is literally only two months old, it takes people time to learn new systems. Have you ever seen TF2 gameplay from before "trickstabbing" was a normal thing for spies? People assumed that melee was always a safe option because spies didn't know you could just whip around and shank someone. It takes time for these things to develop.
>>You should always spam instawhip and keep your ring count at 0 if anyone is close to you even though rings are your only source of speed
At what point did I say anything about "spamming" instawhip? All I said was that people should use it, and more people using it and realizing how good of an offensive tool it is will lead less people to bag. That's it.

Is there a compilation instruction specifically for srb2k, the one that is linked is for srb2. I know they are similar.

I'm getting stuck on the actual compilation, make just says: "No targets specified and no makefile found." Tried to do the ubuntu route too even though I'm not on ubuntu.

I wonder if I could run the windows version through wine.
>>
Am I supposed to clone both srb2 AND srb2k if I only wanna play srb2k?

Love hate relationship with this pack. Please backport this one backport anon!

cd into src first then run make for kart

Thank you, I had a brain fart.

Where do I extract Neptune files on linux? .srb2kart or the git repo folder?
>>
>>1365693
the .kart files from the neptune release zip goes into .srb2kart
>>
Now as I run Neptune it says it's missing SRB2.SRB

Fixed it by following the windows guide instead and using wine.

Why am I alone when I join a server?
>>
>>1365789
because no one's playing? you'll sometimes get a mid-week session but it's mostly on the weekends.
>>
>>1365790
Also the "server browser" option is greyed out for me for some reason.

Also do I need to port forward to play with friends or is there a way around it other than using something per say, hamachi?
>>
>>1365794
it's a custom fork, even if the server browser was enabled you'd immediately crash from joining any server on it.
>>
>>1365798
Cool, that explains it.

Think I'll be better off getting silver or gold on each track and then going round again for platinum, except for the hopefully few tracks that are outright impossible to plat with Metal. That method worked for SRB2K at least and means I don't stay on the same track for a long time.
>>
>>1365888
The medal balance is fucked up. I could be trailing behind 2-3 ghosts and still get a gold, meanwhile the platinum ghost is a mile ahead and I almost never catch up.
>>
>>1365892
That's what I'm not looking forward to; Kart only has the 1 impossible gold for lightweights, but the mechanics are a lot simpler. I remember driving around Ganbare Dochu 2 several times as Cream, gradually thinking, "I'm not going fast enough".

Gonna take a break with backports for now. I saw that the fake Final Fantasy fan was working on Cloud next for the pack so I'm going to wait for them to finish that before making more backports. As always if there are any issues let me know.
>>
>>1365892
From what I understand, the medal times are automatically generated from staff ghosts. Apparently they had that "Freyaday" guy who's last place on every course record a first blind attempt at every track specifically to bring the medal times down, so if you figure out a way to delete those replays it'd probably make the times more balanced.
>>
Does anyone still play the original SRB2K? I hated Ring Racers, it felt like overdesigned flop with consistently worse tracks across the board.
>>
>>1365935
I occasionally hop on. Sucks that apart from us, it's been largely abandoned in favor of Ring Racists.
>>
>>1365921
Basedo, thanks

Just found out that Ring Racers has a limit of 256 characters. RR's base roster takes up a quarter of the limit alone.
>>
>>1365499
not everyone is a esport nigger
>>
>>1366510
so do the Neptune/Saturn forks of SRB2K :)
>>
>>1366510
at what point are you ever going to need 256 characters on a server
>>
>>1366568
it's much higher now for those
>>
>>1366627
It's like 45,000-ish last time I checked

Save in 'replay/ringracers' and load as a Guesst replay.

>>1365921
what's your method for backporting? just dropping the sprites in the srb2k kartmaker?
>>
>>1367007
Thanks anon, but our game versions don't match up.

I'm starting a DRRR server where all of the races have triple the lap count so they take about nine minutes each (except longer tracks like Death Egg which would "only" be doubled). Is anyone actually gonna play it though?
>>
>>1367118
Any particular reason for triple laps?
>>
>>1367118
It only sounds like a decent idea on Gear 4, except Gear 4 is local password only and I don't know if there's a mod that enables it online
>>
>>1367118
would break all the sprint maps like City Escape and prolong the terrible ones.
>>
Another update to the DRRRChars lua:
>The Lua now does checks to see if Juicebox's fast respawn is on, so that excessive deaths or killbinds while in Explosive deathmode don't spawn thousands of explosions.
>It was funny, but it was also dumb. You can barely see the death sprites in fast respawn, anyways.
This'll also prevent players from having a free lagswitch at the start of races.
