Hello, everyone. The mod is finally ready to be released. There are some bugs and glitches remaining, but i deem the track ready for use as of now. It's been a very tiresome process of learning, but in the end, it was all worth it.
Here's Seaside Route 765 for you to enjoy in singleplayer or multiplayer!

======================================================
Known bugs/glitches:
- AI is slow or stupid (crashing into walls, braking on places where they shouldn't, steering before a jump, etc). Nothing i can do about it. Feel free to make a new AI path, and it would be better to share it if it's better than what i make!
- Some cars cannot pass the bridge by the waterfall. They will ride an invisible object and be sent flying (regardless if you run the track clockwise or counter-clockwise). I've tried to troubleshoot it, but found no abnormalities from my track model.
A similar behavior can be replicated on tracks such as 90sGDSP's Happogahara (Drift Course) with some cars (in my experience, it would be ADC's RX-7 FC). The car that i've found to exhibit this strange behavior is the Integra Type-R DC5 mod (made by Jack Thorpe), INCLUDING ALL OTHER CARS THAT USES THE SAME BASE. For example: Jaskier's Techno Pro Spirit Integra DC5.
- Environment sounds such as crowd cheer and waterfall cannot be clearly heard if you're not on free camera/replay camera. In the case of crowd cheer, you can hear it beside the pits, but the range is very small, unlike free camera/replay camera. You cannot hear waterfall sounds if you're using chase camera/interior camera, but you can hear it on free camera/replay camera.
- Rain effects inside tunnel. I don't know how to prevent this from happening, as of the time during this readme's writing.
- Performance may vary depending on your PC's specs. I will try and fix this in future versions, along with additional route from PSP version, which is the Ridge City Highway.
