Hey there. 1st of all. I AM REALLY SORRY about the size. Really i am. It's because it contains many noises and 2 songs in it (u have to find the songs).

the textures are 100% custom by me and the OMA billboard. Hehe, pls test it. Pls. i need some reviews. Thnk u.

So, go test it. I will be waiting for reviews Image

Being a friend I think I can say this...

Alright... Fila... i know you can do so much better then this... First off it looks like random terrein with textures... no custom terrein or anything... Also you need treees, cows, everything.. Image

Next... the water is deeper than a monkey's uncle... make it more shallow... so you can see the doors of your truck in outside of the water..

Textures... my most looked at thing.. you have 2 sets made of two textures... Image they dont match up... and they are colored funny, and don't look so real... i suggest getting some base textures from the mtmg and touching them up, or working on some new ones... doesn't take so long.

That's all i can really say.. work work work! Image Image :] okie

Keep rocking Fila...

But i like the textures Image and they are not 2 different sets. It's only one. But i like them Image lol,k, well, it's cuz of Traxx 1.2 pallete. Not my fault Image

But i still like em. And i like the water. Hehe, just follow the puter trucks.

I kind of agree with Rudee here for the most part,

the textures are ok, they may not look the most realistic but then alot of tracks dont, many many many fun tracks have wierd, odd, ugly, or just plain missaligned stock textures but that can be ignored if it has a good fun challenging course which should be the basis for any track,... textures, models, and special effects to me are secondary or iceing on the cake so to speak but not critical...
which brings me to why i see something lacking here in "the return of DMS" the terrain just seems well,, too random and lackadaisical hurried and unfinished for a track maker such as you Fila Image the more time you spend tweaking it the better it will become and i am afraid there will be a lot of dissapointed downloaders in its present state especially for a 3 meg d/l...

deep water? yep, perhaps shallower would be better or even a bridge

"2 songs in it, i need to find them" ??? i don't quite understand, i was expecting a custom sound track but apparently i had missunderstood.

dont get me wrong, i am wanting to like this track but it looks to be still in a beta stage purely from a terrain standpoint and am trying my best to be helpfull and not too critical of your efforts.

Imagepeace Image

Sniff sniff Image Image i think i can just shoot myself right now, sniff sniff

K, the water will be more shallow, but grr, my point was for u to take the puter route, and NOT the water route (k, there where the cp in water is, i will fixed that, it will be more shallow).

K, those 2 songs are going to go on a choo choo. So, the file size will be cut down to around 200-300kb.


I like the terrain how it is now, what should i do more about it. (p.s. i worked almost 1 hour on this freakin terrain, cuz i don't generate it from traxx u know, so it comes out awfull (undrivable) so i need to smooch (smooth) it until i drop.)


Hehe, of course it's in beta stage. That is the REASON i put it at BETA TRACKS!!! hehe Image


Oh yeah, lol, i forgot to mention, ( i think i forgot it entirely when i was making the track), trees will be added. Don't sweat it RuDeE hehe Image k, that would be it for now, maybe u guys can come with more ideas ? i would like to see them,

no no no don't do anything drastic Fila Image Image

these are just my own opinions and not some track making law that has to be adhered to Image.... its just that i see a lot of potential here with this track.... but the bottom line is make it the way YOU would like it to be i cannot and will not do that.

the terrain? over all it looks great its just that the road textures appear painted on the hillsides, maybe just push down the terrain directly under the road textures so it gives the appearance of being cut into and not tattoo'd onto the grassy hills, again this is just my own personal opinion Image dont let me or anyone else tell you how you should make your tracks that would destroy your own personal creativity, but do lend an ear to tips now and then....


this is the beta room isnt it hmmm,,, must be nap time Image

Srry, but i kinda like the way it looks. Image (and srry, this is the best textures i could come with, HEY, what u want, this is my 1st shot in doing this, hehe).

So, don't think will change those things, hmmmm, k, if i fixed the shallow water part, the songs part, what else should i do more? (i like the textures how they look, srry)

Cuz when i want to release it, i want people to like it (haven't had a bad track for 4 tracks in a row (outta 6 tracks in total)


Cya, maybe u could tell me some more what on ur people mind is (rudee, u could say something else if u like, cuz i can see Malibu here is trying his best to help me, keep it on Mal, hehe,)

LOL MAL.

Winterkill- yeah, the music is already out (both if songs), so they no more. Ah, the water part, k, grrr, will make all the water shallow, grrrrr. Hehe,


K, to use my imagination. Hmm, tried that in, let's see, DMS Mountain Rally (whoa, 2nd worst track of mine, but really bad, no kidding, and also tried when i started Return Of DMS, whoa, looked ugly).


There are 2 things here:

1. The DMS tracks i make have an awsome curse and always come out bad.

2. I just lack the qualities of a good track maker Image (the qualitites of textures and terrain)


About that song, the DMS captain just lovess it, and that's why i wanted to be in it. But it's out already (hehe).

Oh well, now going to "fix" some more the water part, then i go to see the MANY tip links Mal posted there. Hehe

K, going now.


P.S. I did realized that everyone here is a track maker, and good track makers. So i am really happy i got ur poeple attention. (hope u still help me with this track, right???)

K poeple. After reading the 2nd time all the topics and when i went to bed, i put my imagination to work. Tried hard, and came up with an idea (that i am able to make it work) that when i imagined how it would look like in MTM2, i just said OH MY GOD.

So, if u guys have patience, in about a week, i should release another beta of this track (as my idea really needs lot of hard work), so, if i work everyday, in about a week should be ready. So, wish me luck guys, pls Image

Good Luck Fila Image
What I want to know is: (RuDeE) how deep is a monkey's uncle?
WK... "mating polar bears"? Huh? I'll HAVE to download this track to see what yer talking about! (sounds hilarious)

Completely off-topic here... but does anyone know anything about ferrets? Believe it or not I had one walk into the house 2 nights ago and it's made itself at home. It was covered in fleas and pretty scraggy looking, but she's (pretty sure it's a female) had a bath and been fed and given a safe place to sleep. Seems quite affectionate and tame so I'm pretty sure it's somebody's missing pet but the kids asked all around the neighborhood and nobody claimed it or knew anyone who was missing a ferret. So I guess I'm stuck with a new animal (we already got a Rotwieler, a cockatoo, 2 Amazon parrots, a retarded fat cat, a 4 foot long Iguana, and a rat) oh, and another cat who just eats here. So ferret-type care advice will be appreciated. Image

a co-worker of mine had a ferret for a few years they seem to be just like a puppy that never grows up, it was very friendly, intellegent and was real good around small children but was constantly chewing everything up in sight so she finally got rid of it for that reason, it just never seemed to grow out of that teething stage, i'm sure they all have different personalities so perhaps yours is not a shoe disposal...

you can just feed them cat food you can also find ferret food in most pet stores...

although not as potent as a skunk they also spray their "scent" but can be de-scented (not sure what the vet charges tho)

they are illegal in california, only because they are afraid that if let loose they would disrupt the the native wildlife..


lol retarded fat cat, i have one of those too Image actually i think she is just a senile 15 year old who if it wasn't for food she would sleep 25 hours a day.

LOL, Mal, what does that got to do with my track??? hehe, just playing one on u.

But, however Mal, i hoped u would wish me good luck in my attempt.


Retarded fat cat. OMG, that is hilarous. Laughed so hard. LOL, actually having one of those too. Hehe,

What's a ferret?

MC, check out the SLO Valley (u can find it at my site), that's the track with the mating polar bears (hey, they are a indangeroud species, they gotta make as more babies as they can)


hehe, still, wish me good luck people. I will let u know in this topic when i have finished the track, and when u can download it. So, that means, u should just step by here, to see if anything new happened Image

"I smoothed the terrain for an hour until i dropped."

Well Fila, I've been working on the terrain for the track I'm working on for about 4 months. Completely hand carved, mostly single-point editing. I still haven't dropped =)
