Thanks, glad you like it. :)

For these SX tracks, I recommend that you turn off the fog by doing Shift-F11.  There's not much we can do about the sky poking thru the stadiums, without going with a completely different sky altogether.  There's limits to everything.

The nats have some tough animations that we are still working out, so that's why we delayed their release to give us more time. :)

We plan on converting all the nats and SX so this gift will keep on coming for quite some time. :)

We still need to experiment with sounds.  We have them just haven't tried them in the game.

The sounds are easy to add.  It's whether the complete sound package sounds good or not.  Won't know until we actually try.  The program I'm working on it will make it relatively easy to experiment.

Very Nice!  Any word yet on when we'll have that new bikeswitcher?  Don't mean to pry, I was just wondering.

Post by: AMA_DirtTwister on December 25, 2004, 03:21:05 PM
I hate to give a date.  I still have a lot of work to do, not to mention all the testing.  I'm hoping sometime in January.

WOW guys. I never thought this would acutally come together. Or if it did, I was afraid they would not be released.
Maybe I could get some info to help with my project of getting mcm tracks into the xbox version of mxu? I've tried, but my knowledge of game hacking is...well....I don't have any knowledge lol. I have pushed other people known for modding xbox games, and they have come up stumped.
Thanks again TD, and everyone else involved  ;D

Post by: AMA_DirtTwister on December 25, 2004, 04:31:01 PM
I think it would be too much of a hassle to attempt to feed stuff into the xbox.

Post by: Fredde on December 25, 2004, 04:42:27 PM
You think so? Havent there already been alot of custom maps for Halo? I think so. A modded xbox would be needed though...
Title: Re: Merry Christmas!
Post by: MX45 on December 25, 2004, 05:00:05 PM
I got the modded xbox part covered :P

WOW again. These tracks ride extremely well in mcm. They also look great. Are they hi def, or something different all together. I know the disp is povray, but the textures look as good as they do on xbox mxu.
Title: Re: Merry Christmas!
Post by: Daniel Ahlgren on December 25, 2004, 06:24:54 PM

VERY COOL guys.  Thanks a lot for this.   The only question I have is that the textures have a lot of green blotches on em.  Doi I need to turn dual pass on and take of force textures to fit in video memory?

You can try and see if that helps, but unfortunately the textures are what they are.  You see, the PS2 and Xbox have different rendering options than we do in MCM2.  That means, we can really only get close to what it looks like on the console.  It kind of sucks but there's not much we can do about it.  You will see this even more so on the nats when they come out.  :'(  Oh well, the alternative is to retexture them and that would be pretty tough to replicate.  We did our best but sometimes we just can't get it to look the same.

I got a modded xbox too. If anyone wants to try to make custom maps for mxu Id be happy to test it :D
Title: Re: Merry Christmas!
Post by: AMA_DirtTwister on December 26, 2004, 07:22:41 AM
Don't expect any custom tracks for the XBox.  There just isn't a practical way to do it.

Bruce
Title: Re: Merry Christmas!
Post by: Fredde on December 26, 2004, 08:13:11 AM
Which part? transfering the files or importing them to the game?

Tranfsering files is really easy, its simple to transfer via ftp to the a modded xbox. 

As for the importing, don't you think it would be possible to replace the stock tracks and run them as them in the game?
Title: Re: Merry Christmas!
Post by: AMA_DirtTwister on December 26, 2004, 08:47:20 AM
It has nothing to do with transferring them.  It has to do with putting it together in a way that MXU will recognize it.   We already have that tool for MCM 2 (Armadillo).

I'd just like to add a little recognition for Mike (kxmotox45) if he hadn't sent me some files to work on none of this might ever have happened.

nah not exactly. Actually Bob (crucify) mentioned that this might be possible right when mxu came out. I just happen to get my hands on the mxu stuff, and passed it on to TD.

Back when MXU first came out, there were some videos or something of Ronron taking disp maps and plugging them into his xbox somehow and testing different tracks and stuff.

So somewhere out there, there is software that allows you to do that, it's just no doubt proprietary to Rainbow or whoever.

You'd think somehow someone could get their hands on that stuff.  But who knows.
