Twisted DIRT Forums

Hahaha, we dont even have the game yet and were already thinking about how to streamline the sharing of tracks, lol. I do understand why.

I think the pay route is a bad idea. I really think it would turn people off to wanting to download tracks and ride them, killing the game off. I know that bandwidth is expensive and all the wonderful track makers are doing this on their own dime. I just wnat to throw some ideas out there....

Bittorrent is the way to go. Bittorrent was developed to do exactly what we are talking about. We would actually be using it for what it was intended for. LEGIT sharing.
The main thing for torrents is the tracker. We need a good, reliable tracker. The tracker is what manages the torrents in the big bad net.

So basically, a track creator finishes a track, creates a torrent to SEED, uses the dedicated mcm3 tracker(reg. required) and uploads it to the dedicated, registration required site, for people to leech. The key is for people to leave the torrent open when they are finished downloading.

As far as the review board for good tracks, only the top 50 or 100(whatever) track makers get a dedicated site to upload there files to seed from that server(so they dont have to use there connection)

Beginner to novice track makers use their own connection for seeding. This would keep the crap out of the expensive torrent seeding server.

This is very very doable. I am not a programmer for computers however, I have a very good friend who is a host with lots of knowledge about this.

With all the talent here, we could easily put something together.......

toad.

cuz we are getting ready for another 6 years of online motocross racing entertainment 

If you guys wanted to do torrent stuff thats fine by me! I could easily seed for a long long long time...

Um...bandwith shouldnt be that big of a problem. I transfered 150 gigs off my server in 5 days in the first week of last month. Never had any problems with the hoster or the server (average DL rate was 45kbps on a DSL 1.5down connection). Total bandwith for that month was close to 350gigs i think.

My server is hosted at www.readyhosting.com - PS - i have the ONE PLAN 8.95 a month (50 dollar setup fee) so 150 bucks a year. Not bad at all! You guys might want to check them out they are good people.

EDIT-

O and www.Demonoid.com does a pretty good job. I dkn though you might just have to setup a MXU specific torrent server

So when we expecting a demo out?

All of the MCM greats are coming outta the woodwork.  Lets see if Tnarg and 51 start making tracks again.

Ill get  ahold of Nargie and his brother Smenthy, been a few months now since i have talked to him (narg) but im sure he will be pretty stoked on this. A lot of the old crew im sure will be back in action......

No demo's planned as far as I know. Doesn't mean there won't be one...but I wouldn't get my hopes up. If there IS a demo, I would imagine that it would be done privately so that Rainbow could manage things easier.

Right now...the most important thing to note is that Rainbow have FINALLY come to their senses and released (or planned to release) a PC game. We need to make 100% sure that everyone buys this game. Only through the undisputable proof of REVENUE will they see that PC is a viable platform with money to made. If everyone buys this thing and supports it like it sounds like everyone wants to...then I'm sure we can expect MORE PC versions of future games as well.

I for one will be pre-ordering my game as soon as it becomes available to do so! 

I just found out today and I can't wait! I really like MXU and MX vs ATV. Heck, I bought an XBOX just for those 2 games but I am soooo glad it's coming back to the PC where it all started. I'm having flashbacks to September of 1998 and the MCM 1 tourney for a trip to Vegas. Lot's of great memories. I can't believe it's been almost 8 years since this all started. Wow, I'll be checking constantly for pre-orders. 

any ideas when we will be able to preorder

So many OG's on here its great.. seeming more and more like the old days again!! yesssss

And ocicide Whaatss upp..

Man I really hope that this game works good with PC, I played it over a freinds house on Playstation and I wasn't too thrilled about it, the bike didn't seem to work as well with the game, the graphics were alsome, tracks were fun, something just didn't seem rite about the way the bike worked.. maybe its me being anal,    but I really can't wait for it to hit stores and hopefully be up and going with rooms to play it in with others......

I am speachless... All i can say is LET THE DIRT FLY

-MotoX

Simon?  Is that you? 

This is as cool as every says it is.  Someone up there ^^^^^ said something about " another 6 years of online racing..  that's what most of us wanted hear.

The ideas are flying like mad......  and thats a good thing..  to a certain extent.  This needs to be done in functional stages, so we can enjoy online racing with this new game sooner .... than much much later.

You guys that will end up swingin alotta weight around how this pans out....... please give us  something as soon as possible......  then bring the new ideas in with some logical sequence.

Eager to keep runnin

Tex

jese this is gnna be a long month or 2  I cant wait no more lol.  Im gettin set up for it im custom building my own comp wit a gforce 6800gt a gig of ram mabye 2 3.2 ghz processer intel pentuim 4.  And im looking at some dsl services too bad they dont come out here I am prepared.

Come on... Does it have TAG??
Tag is like the only event that ppl still play on zone.. no tag = no money from me.. :S

Tag = (*#*#*) I'll buy 10 copies just for the hell of it!

tag is pretty much the worst part of mcm2, u have fun with that..... me and all the men will be racing...


it would be awesome if there was an ingame stats system, im praying for that, and im also hoping the physics will be good.


but does anyone else realize the new community that will be coming? CHOCK FULL of new NEWBS! and there will be some new kick ass designers and modders out there, so i cant wait to see what else other talented people can bring to this game.

i want to kno the disp and tex dimensions and i want to know if u can add custom models, custom tricks, all taht...

Bring on TAG BALLS! LMAO
