| !!Step 2: Preparing your image |
| Up next, you have to index your image to have 256 colors. Open a program that can do this, preferably GIMP. I’ll show you how to do it on there.\\ |
| !!!Step 2: Making the local map and adding it to the files |
| For this part you’ll need Nitro Paint and Every File Explorer/Mario Kart Toolbox.\\ |

| Open GIMP and drag your image. Once there, go to Image > Mode > Indexed.\\ |
| Open up MKDSCM, and click on ''File > New > New BG''. Look for your image and select it, then click on generate. Let the program do it’s thing. If all went well, you should see your image and other two windows in the program. Finally click on ''File > Save All'' and name the three files however you want. At the end you will see three files with these extensions .nclr, .ncgr and .nscr where you specified.\\ |

| Now, we need to create a copy of the image that we can use to make the actual local map. For this, you will need the program LocalMapGen, by Gericom.\\ |
| \\ |
| Open up a command prompt window with Windows key + R. Here, you’ll drag the program mentioned above, and then drag your image 2 times. The second time you import it give it a different name. Also, be sure to keep spaces between each line like in the picture.\\ |

| Hit enter, and wait for the program to do it’s thing. This may take a while, so go do something else in the meantime. After this, you are finally ready to make the map itself!\\ |

| ''Sidenote: The download I got of LocalMapGen has a batch file by Rocoloco, so you can just drag your image there and done XD'' |
|
| !!!Step 3: Making the local map and adding it to the files |
| For this part you’ll need Mario Kart DS Course Modifier and Every File Explorer/Mario Kart Toolbox.\\ |
| \\ |
| Open up MKDSCM, and click on ''File > New > NCLR + NCGR + NSCR > 8bpp - Single''. Look for your image and select it. Name each of the 3 files however you want, and let the program do it’s thing. If it stops responding and crashes, simply try again. If all went well, you should see a .nclr, .ncgr and .nscr where you specified.\\ |
