User 304 Hello, could someone help me with the nkm data?
I searched hours for a good explanation, but I found nothing acceptable!
I use Mario Kart DS Course Modifier for the nkm editing.
I need to know how they work, how to use them and what they doing.

Thank you :)

SGC Yellow Alright which version of MKDS CM are you using?
Also, you might want to use EFE, or Mario Kart Tool Box instead, MKDSCM can be a bit finicky with the NKM sometimes.

Here's a bit of a key to help you understand what some things do:

EPOI = These green dots are the path the CPU Players Follow.

IPOI =These yellow dots are the path that Items like Blue Shells, and Bullet Bill Follow.

OBJI = This is an object, like Trees, Goombas, or Item Boxes, for example.

CPOI = This is what the game uses to keep track of where the players are on the course, place CPOI 0 where the start of the course is to make the lap count when you go around the track.

Playing around with the NKM for existing courses can help you, as well.
