| September 20, 2006, 01:19:25 PM - MXU tracks released for MX vs ATV Unleashed Posted by DirtTwister |
Through the hard work of Laurie and Fixer the MXU tracks are now available at Twisted D.I.R.T.
Laurie got the ball rolling and Fixer stubbornly brought them all to life. I hope everyone appreciates the amount of work that went into getting them to work properly in MVA. My hat goes off to Laurie and Fixer.

I saw where people are having frame rate issues with tracks that the creators didn't edit the fog (or they have the fog starting out too far).I figured I would throw together this utility to let people edit the fog in tracks. It doesn't edit what you type in so if you get to experimenting you may make the track not work.
Please let me know if you have any problems.

| January 20, 2006, 09:45:29 AM - MX vs ATV Unleashed TRack Map Bug Fixer Posted by DirtTwister |
Here's my first utility for MVA. This will fix the Track Map Bug. It is a temporary fix. The real fix should come from THQ/Beenox/Rainbow.
All user made tracks have the same file name for the track map. It appears that the game only reads the one from the first track. This program will rename the National_Mapxxx files to a name that is based on the track name.
You can get it here:

Have you ever been playing MX Unleashed on your Playstation 2 or XBox and wondered what it would be like to ride that same track in MCM 2? or race online with 7 others? Well wonder no more. Twisted D.I.R.T. through the tireless efforts of Laurie (mcm2boys), Jeff (MCMNut), and Bob (fixer) have made this a reality.

I got an interesting e-mail from someone recently asking about track makers. They are interested in hiring. The catch is you have to relocate to Phoenix. That makes it impossible for me. I hope the lucky individuals hired are from the MCM 2 community. I will be recommending a few tracks makers that meet the requirements.

| July 24, 2004, 07:19:08 AM - Twisted DIRT forums now available. Posted by DirtTwister |
Because of problems with the TD Server and it's recovery, we have lost several months of forum data. We have decided to start a new forum and make the old forums (Original and YABBSE) available as archives that can be searched.
The new forum is the latest version of YABBSE (now called SMF).
The new forums will require everyone to re-register. At this time we have decided not to restrict registrations. If we have problems like we had in the past we will ban those individuals and put restrictions on who can get at the regular forums.
Sorry for the delay in getting back up.

This track I almost threw away two years ago. I didn't delete it, but I didn't go anywhere with it. A couple of months ago while cleaning up my hard disk I tried it out again. I figured I would apply a few techniques to it that I had learned and drop it's height down. Everything just fell into place and I started to like it. I raced with a few TD members and I kept moving forward with it.
Almost every jump in this has to be taken with caution. You can't go flying full throttle over the jumps, flying over with brakes on is the norm. There are at least two jumps that will have you testing how far you can lean forward before falling off. I love whipping through the valley with 3 or 4 other riders and then, later on in the lap, simultaneously doing the vertical jump. I think some times it pays to let something simmer for a while, even if it is two years.
I decided to save this one to start off the new year. Here's to a great 2004.

It's been a while since I released a national. Here's is one that I've wanted to release for a while.
This track actually started out with playing with parts of my Sunday Ride track. I was experimenting with moving portions and getting them to line up using the "Level" function in PSP. It started to turn into something that I liked and I got to have OCR_Occicide and McD test it and watch them tear it up. As part of watching them I made some changes and add two new SX like stretches to the track.
I've tried to create multiple lines and it can be easy to crash as you throw your bike out there to go for the more difficult jumps, but once you get in the groove it can be quite fun to race on it.

Do to the unknown state of burnt-clutch I have uploaded the bike models to my site. You can download them here.
