Title: MX Unleashed Nationals Delayed...
Post by: MCMnut on December 31, 2004, 10:38:11 AM
Sorry about this but we found that our conversions may be less than perfect and have decided to delay the first releases until we can get this resolved.  The last thing we want to do is release these tracks and then a couple of weeks later figure out what we did wrong...and then have to do some "special edition" version of the tracks.

We don't know how long it will take, but you can bet it will be at least one week. :(  We're sorry.  Probably nobody is as bummed as I am to have to tell you guys this because I SOOO wanted to get these tracks out....but I think having them right is better than just having them out, so we'll all have to wait.

Yes, all of them, nats and SX.  :)  We have about 7 nats "almost" ready for release.  After that we will be pumping them out as we get them finished.  Probably about 1 sx per week if all goes well.  Perhaps a little slower on the nats since some of them have complex animations.

Ok I'm a little confused here, are you guys building the tracks from scratch or are you getting them from rainbow and making them playable in mcm2? 

-and

Can we track makers possible get some of thos staduims for our sx creations.  I really like seeing actually people and not just multi-colored dots

The tracks are started from actual MXU data, but that data doesn't work in MCM 2 without being modified.

Can you name some of the 7 tracks? 8)
Title: Re: MX Unleashed Nationals Delayed...
Post by: MCMnut on January 02, 2005, 01:15:17 PM
Sure...we're releasing them for the most part in numerical order (with one exception).  Assumming we don't find any more "show stopping" problems, the list will be as follows:

Nat01, Seneca Butte
Nat02, Bodie
Nat03, Racine: Long
Nat04, Doha
Nat05, Blueridge
Nat06, Summerhaven
Nat08, SlackJaw

yeah cedar mill was great too, but for some reason hillsboro is my favorite...I'm pretty sure I've mastered every line in that race since I've raced it so much.

The Supercross' you guys made were good but the whoops were a little too small!!! anyone else agree?? ive only played MXU once and the whoops seemed bigger and harder, so maybe you could make them harder in the next SX's for more of a challenge?ya know?
Title: Re: MX Unleashed Nationals Delayed...
Post by: TMD_MickyD on January 05, 2005, 01:55:24 AM
They are the exact tracks from MXU, they didn't edit them at alll.

Thanks!

I did want to give you guys an update...

We are past the "show stopping" problem we had (terrain texture problem) and have moved forward into final testing.  We've got a few things left to finish but if all goes well (fingers crossed) we may be able to release this by this weekend (8th and 9th).  We'll let you guys know...  :)
