Hey I just recently purchased the MTM2 game from vales.com...I have downloaded a ton of trucks and tracks off of mtm2.com...My question is, what program do I need to get all the trucks and tracks into the game??? Also I've been reading about a file called fix-all...Where can I get all this stuff?

FixAll is like a pod, mount it at the top above everything else, it fixes many things, I dont wanna go thru the list...

but that link will get you everything you're ever gonna need.

If you have a question about anything, we'll gladly explain it... well I will anyway, lol.

Fixmore4 is the most up to date version of the fixall pod. Use this one.

For the rest, Rep Fan is a pro. You won't go too far amiss following anything he has to pass along to you.

>> Hey I just recently purchased the MTM2 game from vales.com

I hope it was an original disk.
I get them dirt cheap on eBay. ;-)

>> I have downloaded a ton of trucks and tracks off of mtm2.com

Aye, it's an all you can eat buffet.
Cheers to the gracious owners!

>> My question is, what program do I need to get all the trucks and tracks into the game?

None, or one of many. The "pod.ini" in your game folder is a text file that lists the pods mounted in your game, if they're not listed there they won't be available in the game. You can edit this list by hand or you can use any number of utilities to help you easily add your files to it. I'd recommend Cowpod, but Podit and Podini are popular too, though with far, far less functionality.

Understand that there is a limit of 30 mounted pods after a fresh install of the game but once you apply the patch you can mount up to 99 pods. However, you should generally avoid mounting too many pods all in one shot so you can monitor problems or conflicts, and if you encounter errors remember this link.

>> Also I've been reading about a file called fix-all.

"Fixmore" is the most up to date fix-it pod, fix-all is an oldie. These fix-its are user made pods that update various art or model files for better performance, to eliminate errors, or just plain change some things for aesthetic reasons (such as removing the train horn, changing the water color, etc.). They need to be mounted at or near the top of your pod.ini to be effective, but overall they are generally not necessary, just useful.

Rep Fan gave you the mega utilities listing but you might like this basic one for starters:

As for getting up and running with the game, check this old help file out:

Welcome aboard.

Dirt cheap on EBAY?? I found a couple last week that only had a couple of hours left on them and they were up around 20-30bucks...I paid $11 from vales.com with shipping and handling.

Theres not a way to edit tracks thats already made is there?? I would like to modify a track to make it into the St.Louis MJ and computer-raceable

There's an option in Traxx (track editing program) to extract models and art from exsisting tracks. Once they're extracted you're set up to personalize it any way you see fit.

Track building is a blast, have fun.
