Miles Ermiiworth Did you already make the nsbmd?
I'll write a quick guide:
1. Take a character you want and scale it in Sketchup using one of MKDS' character's scale. (Make sure the textures aren't too big or it'll crash in menu)
2. Export it as OBJ and import in MKDSCM NSBMD creator (Don't change the scale and make sure to export NSBTX too!)
3. Get the static nsbca I made here
4. Replace the files ingame:
For menu models:
a. Go to "data/data/KartModelMenu/character/whatever"
b. Replace "P_XX.nsbmd" and "P_XX.nsbtx" with the ones you made before with MKDSCM
c. Replace "P_XX_win.nsbca" with the static nsbca I linked you before

For player race models:
a. Open "KartModelSub.carc" with MKDSCM or EFE which is in "data/data"
b. Go to "character/whatever" inside the CARC
c. Replace "P_XX.nsbmd" and "P_XX.nsbtx" with the ones you made before with MKDSCM
d. Replace "P_XX_drive.nsbca", "P_XX_win.nsbca", "P_XX_lose.nsbca","P_XX_spin.nsbca" with the static nsbca I linked you before
e. Save the CARC

For CPU race models:
It's recommended to use models with a lower poly count for CPU models.
a. Open "KartModelMainA.carc" or "KartModelMainB.carc" (depending on which character you want to replace, if you can't find the character you wanna edit in MainA, open MainB and viceversa)
b. Go to "character/whatever" inside the CARC
c. Replace "P_XX.nsbmd" and "P_XX.nsbtx" with the ones you made before with MKDSCM
d. Save the CARC

I hope it was useful!

Miles Ermiiworth Ah, you're trying to edit the NDS! Use ndstool to do this: unpack and repack the ROM

Svenskig It works for me, but how do I actually get the shading to work? For me it just shows the faces without the extra shading that other characters have (I just realised I also seem to have this problem on custom track models too)
