@Al167 i can try to make a few of the tracks wich tracks have you started on so we dont work on the same tracks . . . .

ive started a2 and i think he has a1 and dodger stadium

Im not sure if Al has the LA (dodgers stadium) one done, but I do know that he'd started Phoenix, thinking that it was A1.  An easy mistake to make, as there was a list that I saw, that had the titles/locations underneath the picture... Where is the logic in that?

But anyway... it seems that there will be no such thing as "LA Dodgers Stadium" round this year.  We are now back to having three rounds in Anaheim.  The track design for LA is now going to be Anaheim 2. So mototank, the A2 track you've started will now be Anaheim 3.

The final two missing track maps (Seattle & Salt Lake City) are now up on http://www.supercrossonline.com/Tracks.aspx  so you've now got the full set except for Daytona of course, which isn't a Feld promoted event, so the track map that usually gets released, is that awful coloured picture, with no details about the obstacles

But if you wait until closer to the event, the AMA Live Timing website had some great track maps last season, which included Daytona, so I hope that they do the same this year, because those had all the correct height and jump spacing measurements.  If you notice on the current track maps, there are random black dots everywhere, because for some reason, they like to rub out all those measurements in photoshop  which they've been doing for years!!

i havent spent any real time on phoenix (RD2). it is too close to Rd 1 for me to do anyway. id like to do vegas and daytona.

3 rounds is about all i can fit in.
if anyone wants what i have for phoenix, ill send it to them as a photoshop .psd with all layers ect.
heres a pic

if anyone is doing dodger stadium sx stop. its been cancelled and will be at anaheim so there will be 3 at anaheim like the old days so the a2 that im working on is now a3 and dodger stadium is now a2.

Mototank - Didn't you read my post above?

 .... ..... ...... oops

Hehe

Hopefully the track layout won't change too much for A2 from the old LA layout. They're both baseball stadiums, so I'm guessing that they'll have a similar floor area.  Although if last year was anything to go by, half the tracks will changed anyway When it gets to race day, the track usually get tweaked some way or another from the track map, it always happens, but last year was ridiculous... Some of the track maps were almost useless...

Have you started making any of the 2013 tracks yourself mototank?  In the first post you said you had 7 or 8 unfinished tracks you were working on. Were those 2013 replicas, or were they just for practicing track creation?  It would be good to see what you've made so far.

Hey guys i've started on San Diego the disp map's done maybe a little tweaks here and there all the rest of the work need to be done in the editor, Iv'e started on Seattle to but just the base for now later today i'm gone upload a beta of San Diego

hey yea theres an idea we can release all tracks as un finished then wen race day comes and we see the actual track release like that sunday or something and thanks for helping out with the san diego map

well a little bit later then expected but here are my beta's of Seattle and San Diego sx 2013 tell me what you think of it : http://www.2shared.com/file/d77wurSu/SX_2013_Beta_Tracks.html (offcourse objects and textures and all that stuff are far from done they are just to for the beta now !)

Next time... Use Media Fire to upload your files. When I clicked on that link, my anti virus (AVG) blocked a threat. It's also coming up with a bunch of links to a program called iLivid... Always a dodgey site, and a bad sign when I see iLivid.... Anyway I managed to download your files eventually... I'll try them later when I get time... But honestly, 2shared doesn't seem like a very safe site.

Yeah i know but i try'd mediafire but the uploader dont show up when i click on it so i google'd a file uploader and 2shared came up so but i search another site next time

hmm thats wierd, must be something in your browser that's stopping mediafire from working...

Anyway, I tried your tracks and I must say I'm impressed Your jumps are shaped very nicely, and the tracks flow really well.  Did you use photoshop to make the jumps?

A few things that I think could be improved on San Diego, is the first rythm section. On the track map the first and last jumps in that section look to be rollers, where you won't get much height off them, if any. At the moment I can jump all 5 jumps in one go. Then the first jump in the section after this seems a bit too high compared to the other jumps in that section. It makes it really easy jump on to the table top. Looking at the track map, there is a bigger gap than usual between those first 2 jumps, so I expect the track designers wanted to make it really difficult to triple up on to the table top.

Apart from that, everything else seems pretty good, and its very impressive for what seems like your first track?

Also Seattle... It was hard for me to play because of the wet look. It was was just too intense for my eyes so I couldn't ride it for long but my first impressions of it are good

Thanks for the comment JamieT i know on the disp maps there are a few tweaks needed like i say'ed before so that all will be fixed on the textures off seattle yes i know they are f*cked up they need to be fixed with the right one's so sorry for that. And iv'e made the track with photoshop yeah but this is not my first track i'm making tracks for long back in the days for MVA and the last years for MXS and now for MVA Reflex so but thanks for the comments and working points i will improve them for the next beta . . . . . Now i have another question can anybody say me or make a video of it on how to place objects and stadiums because i have a really hard time on them every time i want to turn a object to another position the they always go up in the air and the stadiums look weird in the editor so its really hard to get them right . . . .

sorry im a bit busy to make a vid at the moment, but use the shortcut keys, i,o,n,m,v,b,y,u,h,j,k,l, to manouver objects. it takes a bit of practice placing objects, another tip, also use the 90 degree rotation and place to terain keps too somtimes, and the nudge mode(for smaller increment placing)

also if you are having trouble selecting an object and when you click on it another object in the background always gets selected, use R to look down on the object you want to select. it seem to select it that way.

uploaded a rough sketch  of A3 to mxmaniacs.com let me know what you guys wants next i have 4 weeks off so i wanna get alot of them done

Mototank,

Your upload has been rejected by maniacs because you didn't include a preview image.

http://www.mvamaniacs.com/mvaforums/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=455


But I advise you to not upload any beta versions to maniacs.  You should only upload to maniacs if you have a track that is the final version.  Please create an account with mediafire, and upload there.

I am currently developing a website for the Reflex community that will allow you to instantly upload beta versions of tracks, so that you can get feedback from the community.  I plan to launch officially in 2013, but as I'm learning web development as I go along, it may take longer...  Check out the site by clicking the link underneath my name to the left.

so AL how did u put the stadium into A1 like peice by peice or is there an entire object stadium? also an update on the tracks A2 is pretty much done beside objects just need to get it out there to be beta tested. oakland is about halfway but i turning out to be a fun track i wanna finish it just because im having fun riding wat i hav so far and i even figure out everything there is to know about zones because of this track so thats cool too.

In that left hand menu, there is a tab to view the "grouped" objects. Its those blue cogs next to what looks like a house. Then the stadium you want is Manchester Rnd 1 or 2.
