Starting with Beta4, it is possible to add dashes to Kart Racing Pro.
3dsmax is needed to create the dash model.
If anyone is interested in a guide, just ask.

They change the ingame view too, or just the outside model?

It is possible to change everything: dash and display.

The triangle count must be between 500 and 1000, depending on the complexity.
At least 2 textures are needed, one for the casing and one for the display only. The latter needs a W_ prefix in the name, for example: "w_display.tga" or "w_lcd.tga".
Please note that the textures should have no alpha channel.
Shaders: http://tools.piboso.com/index.php/Track_Creation_Rules#Shaders
Then create a new folder in the "dashes" directory and export the model with EdfExp as "Mesh".
Copy INI and CFG files from another dash and modify them ( they are all text files ).
The display texture is used as a canvas to display data. 0,0 is top left.

sounds pretty straight foreward.

I think i need to make the texture do the work and not put so much detail into the model. It cannot be under 500 triangles?

The minimal dash is 2 triangles: a quad for the display.

This dash is the alfano astro right?

Would be nice to have, indeed.

Go evo, yeah :)

Are rev lights possible?

Racehard that ICA  howels. Does he have it setup with a cold light and hot light?  that would be a nice feature on all the dashes in KRP

PiboSo  how are shift lights and temp lights outside the screen done?


To learn the process I am going to make a very simple dash first before i try this super complicated one
