An AIO (all-in-one) FAQ on how to get, run, and use the Glalxy SRB2Kart executable mod!
Last updated: 5:07 PM PhST 1/31/23
What's this?
Glalxy is a client-side focused fork of Galaxy, an executable mod for SRB2Kart. This exe mod adds a couple new (mostly client-side!) features, such as:
- All the features of Galaxy
- Percentage Speedometer (Lonsfor)
- Custom resolutions (Birdhouse)
- Replay Marker (Tyron)
- Turnsmoothing (Birdhouse)
- Dedicated server replays (Birdhouse)
- OpenGL render distance option (Birdhouse)
- Birdmod (Jartha/Jameds)
- Callmore's CSS (Callmore.. obviously.)
- driftsparkpulse (Ashnal)
- Kart Protocols (Fafabis)
- "Local" Skins (Jartha/Jameds, improved by me)
- Snowy UI (JadenArc)
- Double the freeslots, apparently (1024 -> 2048)
Ok, how do I get it?

Q: I got an error that says I'm missing a file.
A: Did you download snowy_files.kart and chucked it in your Kart folder?
Q: How do I apply local skins?
A: In-game, pause your game and you should see an option named Local skin.... In order to actually apply the skin, type in the skin's INTERNAL name (a thing you should see upon adding a skin), and click any of the apply buttons of your choice. If you want to remove your localskin, make sure the input in the textbox is "none" instead.

Q: I can't load skins with lua/I can't load specific skins.
