Talk:Mario Kart Wii item probability distributions

I don't like the way you made the boards
Since you put the rankings vertically and the items horizontally, why didn't you do it in MKDS and MKW item probability distributions? Gold Luigi (talk) 08:32, 8 March 2017 (EST)
 * It was an absolutely deliberate choice: MKDS and MKW use the very same format, in which each column is an item probability distribution. In MK7 and MK8, on the other hand, each row is an item probability distribution. Keep in mind that these data are binary data often directly loaded in RAM, to the point that in the case of MKDS I could discover the item of each row using the action replay codes. The idea is directly represent these data, adding appropriate headers. When the source is not binary data, I prefer the item probability distributions organized in rows.--Mister Wu (talk) 13:02, 8 March 2017 (EST)
 * Ah, I see now. Are you going to add the other distributions (Frantic and Basic item stributions in MKW and item distributions on vehicles with other item statistics in MKDS)? And yes, I don't know the American name for Frantic and Basic item modes in MKW. But I don't really care about them. Gold Luigi (talk) 16:06, 8 March 2017 (EST)
 * I'm sorry if what I wrote here and on MKDS' page wasn't clear. In the file there is only one set of probability tables for the standard case, as far as I know the other cases are not coded like this - they are directly obtained from these same values using an unknown method. MK7 and MK8 have every case covered by a probability table, but both MKDS and MKW only contain one set of tables for the standard case.--Mister Wu (talk) 22:57, 8 March 2017 (EST)
