Hello everybody, i want to share with you an idea that come from a Mariokart-like on Dreamcast "Walt Disney World Quest: Magical Racing Tour" (that is for me better than the original Mario kart), but I don’t know if you have already “lock” the actual gameplay.

This is the idea: Coins are dispersed on the track (like nitro and gift) and as the other items, they respawn.

If someone has 10 coins (You can’t have more than 10 coins), you go approximately 5-10% faster (The difference has to be overall small) but if someone hit you, you lose most of his your coins on the track. (These do not respawn but other player can catch them !)
10 coins --> effect
Less than 10 (even 9 xD) --> no effect

Hit by:
Rubber ball: -6 coins
Bowling ball : -4 coins
Chewing-gum : -2 coins
Cake : -5 coins
Swatter : -3 Coins
Plunger: 0 Coin

I've made a picture with gimp to illustrate a possible coin (very fast ^^)

That's just an idea, i know you have other priorities

An interesting idea.

An idea.

The coins give you speed. When you are hit you loose all your coins and they are spread on the track behind you. However you don't need ten coins. They just give you slightly more power. If you fire while you have coins you'll lose a coin and what you fire will cause more destruction.

Right now you could use an alpha texture as a zipper and have a rotating ghost coin on top of it. But that looses the effect.

Oh and nice texture. Could do with being a little uneven though.

Very good idea for another mod.

Why not, i just said the original way they use coin in the disney's game.

I'm not sure to understand everything you said ^^ (sorry). But next week or in two weeks i can do it one more time with better quality
(i have lot's lot's of work )

It's too smooth. Needs an engraving or something on it.

Hmm well it's not a bad idea, but it's in a way somewhat similar to nitro ("collect items that make you go faster"). So I don't think we're going to add something like that in the foreseeable future

I know this isn't exactly what you were thinking of but here's something for you to have fun with:



Please unzip (inflate or uncompress or expand or whatever it is) in the models folder of STK. This is just for your amusement.

By the way. The large nitro coin is an old texture of mine.

Lol that was nice ^^ and I know ! I just made this texture in 10 minutes ^^

The difference with nitro is that is last forever until someone hit you :S
I understand that this feature isn't essential for the gameplay
