the project is coming along nicely albeit slowly, most of the rendering and opening from file works well, as well as a blank racing space... that part might take a while, but all in all... xna is cake

I'm fairly certain that the only correspondence between c#, xna, and net 3.5 is some of the variable reference, syntax, and some names... atleast as far AS I KNOW... when I go to class tomorrow n find out, because u have to use an XNA installer on 360 to be able to play an untested game, and when ...

yes it requires .net 3.5, but - XNA is its own framework... http://creators.xna.com/en-us/XNAGS3.1readme

I'm fairly certain its free, I dont really know - I know I got the XNA project class for VS2008 for free, and the book was like 42.99 or somethin - and thats here at college. idk how much VS costs, they gave me a few copies of it for nothing. as far as being MS only and proper modern technologies ...

:D i remembered someone had been trying to develop a freestyle that uses mtm2 stuff, which kinda gave me the idea. i didnt think that MS/TRI would have the source out tho, just wasn't certain. I think once I finish this class I may try to do that, because XNA will do a variety of things from file ...

I'm taking an XNA (v3.1) programming class right now that deals with Xbox 360, Windows, and Zune game development... anyone ever used it or know this language? It's based upon C#, but its a totally game-oriented programming language - its very highly object oriented... after making some simple 3d ...

thanks

where are all the scrapyards at these days?! i am not having much luck locating anything except d2s's... any and all help is greatly appreciated :) ALSO!!! does anyone know if BLENDER3d will work for bins? i have a version of it on my terminal at SIC, its a kickASS modeling program thats freesource ...

know where i can download truespace 1.0 that really works?? i've found multiple downloads that all link to PCPLUS - which wont let you download 2 of 3 parts of the program.. hey - speaking of pcplus - werent they the magazine that published a lot of trucks and tracks for mtm2 in like 1999 or 2000 ...

is there somethin else out there that we can edit bins with other than binedit? i dont care if i have to convert the model or anything. i wanna be able to easily manipulate vertices and faces - for example, by clickin on them or something other than having to cycle through and all that booshwaa. the ...

thanks for all the positive feedback!!! i hope i can keep contributing trucks of this quality, i know that a comparable track is a lil outta my skill level... practice makes perfect though hope everyone enjoys killmode

after too dang long, its arrived!!!! theres 4 in the pod *original body w/3d tires, cut fenderwell body wth 3d tires, original body w/ groundhawgs, cut fenderwell body with groundhawgs* - the 2 trucks with groundhawgs have a slightly wider stance than the ones with 3d tires, and handle somewhat ...
