The good thing about mtm track making is there's no deadlines. You can take as long as you need to do things the way you want.

The good thing about beta testing is you never have to apologize or explain why things aren't finished. It is, after all, beta. We expect things to be unfinished and still in need of work.

Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

Just downloaded this baby and took her for a spin. It's great to see a new track come to conseption! I like the layout of the track so far, and as Mal stated, shows alot of promise! I know it's too early to start giving advice, but there are a few spots were I fell off the track, and had a devil of a time getting back up, due to track drop severe track drop off, and sharp terrain inclines next to the drop off. But so far man, keep it up! It will be fun to see how this turns out... d:^)>

i bet you fell off mostly were the "rings" meat but those will be fixed at a later time i just want to get the main track layout finished and get working on the city

well im off to bed for tonight and will start working on it in the morning

OK i just updated a little bit
i added the city building but not the textures

i just want to know if the building hight looks ok or of they need to be changed (it kind of looks like a rainbow city you will see why then you try it)

will be waiting for responce

ps is it possible for me to upload over top of the existing track onsite so i do not have like 20 beta versions of this track out there?

Not that I know of. But the admins will just remove your previous verison of the beta, leaving your newest one behind. Just ask them to remove the previous, and they will take care of it.

You don't even need to ask. When we see it, we'll take care of it. We don't do over-writes because sometimes you'll want an old copy back. We don't keep them forever, but months and sometimes almost a year. We're not fast to delete things around here.... and emceemart even includes his txx files so they're there in case he ever wants it again.

I haven't looked at the track yet but will soon.

trackster · Post by **trackster** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 11:04 pm

ok thanks

thats a good idea to include the txx file (i may start doing that)

on another note i just got an idea that i want to try with a half ring or so

> i just want to know if the building hight looks ok

Perfect. I like 'em.

> (it kind of looks like a rainbow city you will see why then you try it)

Has a unique appearance and the texture is good on the eyes - trust me, I know on this one, my eyes reject everything and this is okay.

Note. Too many ground boxes crammed into a close area can possibly trigger the "have mark increase box count" error, and sometimes access violations. It seems okay to me right now but it's something to be alert to.

The good thing about mtm track making is there's no deadlines.

There are when there's an expo, but we haven't seen one of those in three years... *ahem*

ya a track design contest would be cool again (i would never get one done in time) but it would be neet to see who you come out of the woods and enter
