RA if you are going to quote then do so properly.

The original post from which I copy pasted the quote has been edited.
My reply has been edited as well and in it's current form does not reflect the originally stated opinion.

The current wording is fine with me.

I am glad you all had fun on this track...

Well, not exactly...
In my opinion this track was a very bad choice for a tourney.

Here we go for analysis part 2
Experiment
With D2S and Mumhra we ran a scripted 1 lap race on Sandy Morgans Gulch.
On specified segment it was agreed which driver would drive at constant speed while another would place himself
just ahead of him with respect to what he sees. Positions were ...

Sorry for misquoting you D2S.
Since direct communication was ...errr difficult that day I got your statements from second hand.

Seems I made some pretty wrong assumptions in my analysis which was based on similar articles written for GPL. Maybe MTM2 does not display forecasted positions after ...

MTM2 actually lags worse on a LAN

That surprises me. We've ran MTM2 in numerous LAN parties with no lag at all in races with 6+ trucks.
Just banned custom trucks (repaints allowed).

EDIT :!:
The description given in this post is technically inaccurate in essential points.
The described effect corresponds rather to what may happen in some other racing games.
The correct analysis for MTM2 is contained in another post lower down the thread.

I thought the CB feature was not operational until I stumbled across this article

It suggests you can make CB working (?)

Anyone with practical experience on that?

Mal releasing a track is always a special event to me. I remember when back in 2002 I started browsing mtmg.com for add-ons. Not knowing where to start I randomly picked half a dozen files from the track list, which was in alphabetic order by default. The download took considerable ...

The "clear winner" had a clearly lucky win.

In the direct confrontation with Ultramax in round 2 he was clearly faster.
Alas, his wheel fell apart during the final round 4 . We made 2 restarts but he wasn't able to get it working properly for a full racing distance.

I was even more lucky ...

The problem with LCD screens is that they have one native hardware resolution unlike the good ol' CRT screens which could handle a range of resolutions. If you run a game in a different than the native resolution, the display will interpolate or extrapolate to the native resolution. The result is ...

At places this thread becomes hard to follow with "edited posts" that are completely deleted, lol.

Here are my 2 cents on the real topic:
Note: my gaming system is Win98se

Unlike WGC which proved to be non-functional for Win98
BattleHQ worked fine with me.
No problems at installation just ...

Wint is right (as usual...): for the CastleNugget map I pasted Traxx screenshots together.

The reason for not using Trackview was that it does not properly display objects textures, at least not on my system. Because large buildings are the main points of orientation in that track, I resorted to ...

I'm most impressed by the feature that will delete "misplaced" exe's


The heuristic scanning mode immediatly deletes everythin which isn't in the 'right' location. So exe files on your desktop, programs outside the program files folder etc. are deleted immediatly, no remorse. Why? Well ...

As a rule, MTM2 cannot handle more than 63 textures of size 256x256 at the same time.

Allowing 16 for the trucks (2 per truck, more if you allow custom trucks) plus some for other stuff (sky etc) this leaves you about 42 such textures for the track. (The limit is approximative but works fine ...

It was a bit of work to get the zone running, but that was only until I realize IExplorer was required. With IE everything worked fine and I could even run ZoneAlarm (firewall software) at medium security setting.

Which brings me to the other thing I don't like at WGC: they are very unspecific ...

World Gaming Software doesn't work for Win98 users.
Their forum is full of (unaddressed) complaints about that.
You can find some absurd hints like " set disk name to <empty>".


A pity that I can't participate to SPs tournaments anymore.

Brilliant work Wint. I prefer not to know how much time you spent on this topic, lol.

I'm no cockpit guy either (this view makes me seasick) but the one feature I'm defnitely interested in is the mirror. Is there a way to display it in chase view?

The problem relates to the fact that the game is always displayed with only 256 colors.
Each track and truck can have its own set of 256 colors. But in a race, the game engine needs to break down everything to a single common 256 color palette. Colors not included in that common palette will be ...

Great

Thanks ... and glad you considered my offer as bribery, lol
