What can we do to keep interest going in MCM 2?

[ElDiablo (Paul)]

It is worth mentioning that the new D2 also has zoom when placing trees. In beta testing I placed the maximum number of trees with D2 zoomed in so I could see exactly what they were going to look like. As far as rotating or panning around the trees...there is only the overhead view on the Enviro tab but you can always switch back to the Object tab and view them from a perspective that way.

SWEET!!!! that's going to be nice

[metal_miracle]

i was thinking is there an way we can get so we can rotate the object s by numbers like 90 degrees ? in dillo2

Like in 3d Max, a Angle Snap option you mean?

Hmm I notice in the new D2 there's a tab where the Riding controls 'should' be defined... is this a feature that's gonna be here soon, or is still impossible and the tab is there just for fun?

I think some updates to the trik editor would be sweet.  If you think about it, that may be the most powerful tool ever to come out for mcm2, but its SOOOO labor intensive to make a trick, it's not really used to it's full potential.

One thing that would really speed things up, is if you could anchor things...like the hands to the handlebars.  So that, if you changed the position of the handlebar, all the other parts made necessary corrections to keep the hands on the handlebars.  It'd have to be setup so that sort of thing could be turned off and on of course (sometimes you want the hands off the handlebars).

Another thing that would be nice, is to constrain some of the stuff.  Like you can't bend joints to un-natural angles.  Or you can't move the handlebars in ways that cant in real life...like i was messing around with it this morning and you can move the forks in all different directions...that's completely unrealistic and basically useless (is someone making a trick where the bike breaks and then puts itself back together???  Sounds like something Pastrana would come up with...).

It would also be cool if you could just drag a piece to a spot, and all the necessary body movements are made.  Again, using the hand as an example, if I wanted to move the hand from the handlebars to point at something, instead of having to move and rotate the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, etc, i just click on the hand and move it, and the joints all move as they need to.

This would really clean up the factory to... no more *#*#*ed up stunts by noobs

Another stuff to do, post something there :

A request to add MCM2 into Xfire.
Thanks.

how bout a d2 that makes it so u dont need d1 any more cuz i hate fussing wit armidillo 1 it makes me not feel like making tracks

[cR]

Hmmm not until the importing of disps is figured out I guess... and off course the part of test riding is in the planning (I saw a tab where u are supposed to be able to set the controls...) but that should be WAY harder to make then the importing of dispmaps so don't count on that... whe'd have a 'MCM3' (lol) earlier...

[corkscrew]

a new revised quad model, maybe if the twisteddirt guys can start getting models of mx vrs atv unleashed into mcm2, like the quad models, or just make a new one, it hink that would be pretty sweet.

[cR]

I tought Extreme was busy converting the MX vs ATV Unleashed models... not sure tought I've read it somewhere on the forum...

[WhiteBoy]

track contest... please. i wanna see what the best stuff out there is. id make a track but everyone would be like "*#*#*, whitey needs to use dillo 2."

[cR]

Then why don't ya do that 

[ElDiablo (Paul)]

LOL Bryan! 

[tff_fourone]

yeah extreme is working on it. he said over on his site! 

[PRO_Westy]

Well dang long time since i visted here lol.

but after reading the thread seems like 90% of the bases are in hand and that is awesome to see..

Just one thing that ive always wondered, we all have a shed load of tracks installed and u go on startgate or zone etc, but like always there is the issue of who has what installed.

is there or could there be a utility made that a person could link there current installed tracks to kinda like a database i assume ? (im not to techy minded lol) so basically u could show others what u have installed etc?

i know there are plenty of programs like print folders that will list what resides in certain folders and gives u a txt output ,,

anyways just my 2 cents

Hey Westy!

   Good to see you still hangin' around bud. That's actually not a bad idea. I can't remember where...but I've seen something like that for another game (can't recall which game now). It allowed you to see who was a compatible match (meaning that they have the same levels or tracks as you). That might not be a bad idea (if it's doable for Laurie) to add to Start Gate.

Good one!

Mechwarrior 3 or 4 had that

[MX45]

Can't you already see who has what if you race on startgate?

You know, with the TTM recorder, if you click on "tracks" button, there are some options to get common tracks with people who's connected to the recorder... But, that's about TTM, not TDzone and Startgate. Just an info for you Westy.
