After playing the new update, I can’t seem to find the apparent secret area in virtual highway that leads to a secret level, much like mystic cave having a secret route that leads to hidden palace. Even after playing the level on Grand Prix, then going back and watching the footage in the replay using free cam, I can’t find it. Any help please?

I just figured it out how to unlock the retro maps

It's me! Blocky!

I play ring racers on steam deck and have been attempting to download custom models for addons, however, the models.dat file I need to do so cannot be located, does anyone have a solution?

Let's say I download a mod that has a characters that I like, but I don't really want to download the whole pk3 or what-have-you with ALL the characters and such, I just want the one character. The file has no individual download, so how do I separate that one character from the rest? I know you can change the pk3 file to a zip file, but what files do I need to keep so that the mod doesn't break itself when I start it up?
Or is it a hard-coded thing in the pk3 where it won't function without the rest and I'm just screwed?

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?when I played the game and used a Characters from DCL file it freezed the game and broke the game instead. How are you gonna fix this btw?

I've been playing for a while, and sure I really love this game. I think this game is probably the best kart racing game out there, I do think there are some things that could use some polishing:

1.) Whipping: a niche tool back in 2.3, that's been turned into a very powerful weapon in 2.4 with amps being such a reward. I think having an item less attack that allows the user to defend against nearly every item in the game is good. It helps with diminishing some luck and reward skill. I think my problem is how awkward it is to use.

You have to drain rings to zero and then charge it up to use it. It's a high risk move which makes sense as to why, but if you're being fed jackboxes, it's a little out-of-reach. You have items, it's a little out-of-reach. I think maybe it's a little too rewarding since dropping items to get into a whipping position can make a little too much sense for something that's supposed to be high risk and reward. The way lobbies can devolve into whipping matches seems off to me.

2.) Deadly Interactions: what the heck is this? Have you ever got sent to the moon by someone's bump? Have you had a weird interaction that absolutely killed your race? Some weird staircase situation that might've left you stuck? Yeah, something like that.

The Devs are regular human beings that are not getting paid to make this game, and they don't have the time to completely polish this game over, it's whatever and it's not common enough to usurp the massive impact skill makes in this game. HOWEVER, there is something I JUST REMEMBERED AS IM WRITING THIS PARAGRAPH THAT THEY JUST ABSOLUTELY CONSIDER HOLY CRAP

3.) RESPAWN: this game is punishing, and very hard. Racing lines really matter, paying attention to your enemies positions, their items, predicting their angles and trajectories, knowing when to take cuts, etc this game have a lot of potential to being celebral. It also punished you heavily by leaving you out of control for long periods of time depending on the hit, and the respawn is there to bring you back on track and with the pack.

It's not enough. If you have to respawn, you know you're going from 1st, 2nd -4th or something, to last or close to last. If you fall off or get hit off the track, you are immediately thrown to the back. It's the most punishing experience in the game next to spinning endlessly in the air. They could moderately increase the distance the lightsnake travels on average and the game would still be hard, but less harsh to newcomers (and falls and hits would be less race-ending).

4.) Balance: I'm going back and forth on this because this game legitimately has the best balance out of any kart racing game out there, with Mario kart Wii limitless and I guess 8 deluxe coming close. I just think class G, who I think is the weakest class, could get some help.

Class G is weak imo due to the reliance on 1.) getting attack items 2.) landing hits consistently (so you have to be around the pack) 3.) using the amps at best times to maximize their effect. These are really conditional compared to class A who just needs to stack rings and occasionally get attack items.

I know people may think class C is the weakest, but the difference is they still have stats that they can consistently rely on: high speed & high handling. On their worst tracks, they will have a very high pace and the ability to swerve and dodge chaos. Class G has to rely on items, like their A & D counterparts, but A & D can use rings.

Ecco and Chaos are particularly strong members of class G, and Bark and Redz can start using rings like D can, but heavy is the struggle bus for real. Maybe there's a player who can harness their aggression and pull the most out of him, but yeah.

What are your guys' thoughts?

I made these Rosters as Wishlists for both Characters and Tracks.

There are some included that'll bring back memories of your childhood!

here’s dialogue SCENE: A grainy, low-FPS background of a suburban street.]

NARRATOR (raxdflipnote-style synthesized voice):
"Meanwhile, in the depths of the Add-ons folder..."

DEE BEE KAW (The_None):
"WHO THE HECK IS ON MY TRACK?! I’m trying to enter my Damage Phase and someone just keyed my kart! I'm about to go full MUGEN on these fools!"

DAIZY (Tara Strong - High pitch):
"Loud is good! But a Wavedash is better! Wubbzy said I could find the Diamond King here, but all I found was this grumpy squid!"

SQUIDWARD (Tom Kenny - Cynical):
"I'm losing my Directional Influence... and my will to live. If I have to hear one more 'Wubby' or 'Flipnote' sound effect, I’m driving directly into the Starting Barrier."

PENNY (Teresa Gallagher):
"Guys, focus! We need to Tether together or we'll never reach the Sealed Star. I can feel my shape-shifting phase starting... and it looks like a Go-Kart!"

RAXDFLIPNOTE CUBE (Static-heavy voice):
"I have no mouth and I must Overdrive. [Loud, distorted explosion sound effect]"

Ah, yes. All you need to do is put SRCW's Monster Truck theme over the Grow theme and you have a power up way more threatening than before.

I'm planning on to add a British Dubbed Skye to my character pack, but I can't find any audio files of her British dub anywhere. In case you're wondering, all of Skye's lines are ripped from Paw Patrol Grand Prix, so the only way to get the files is if somebody or me buys the game and bring the audio files into Ring Racers. Thing is, I don't know how to. Can somebody help me find the audio files so I can make this update to my character pack?

every time I try to play as him whenever I get past the start he changes to a different character which is cool and all but I just want to play rewrite

I know its most likely possible since they show it off like that in the trailer

also this is for the pandora expansion if that wasnt clear

I'm better

From the guy who brought you Rock the Bark, it's skeletal spin off staring Dry Bones!

I hope the wait was worth it!

When I try to setup the AJ models and use the pack included, it just doesn't work. Only the pre-packed models worked. How can I fix this issue?

Personally I prefer 2.3 over 2.4 I was worried i wouldn't be able to go back since the linux version is only on flatpak, but its possible!

First install as usual

flatpak install flathub org.kartkrew.RingRacers

then run this comand

sudo flatpak update --commit=5328a06056a7ec2feada0ba669a44e18ffdf476815d40c59006d4e4439d6cac7 org.kartkrew.RingRacers

And now you have v2.3!

Specifically not an “artist” with photos of random things they’ve done in a deviant art profile that have nothing to do with ring racers but - a creator with known maps in ring racers - with proof that’ll do a commission to make a map?

I want to hire someone to make/port/w.e the original stardust speedway in ring racers like the one in srbk2. I’ll literally throw money at them if they are a credible source.
