LOOK AT THIS MOTHERFUCKER

LOOK AT THEM GO WOOOOO


Video explains it all, really. Race around crazy courses, customize your car decals or create your own tracks and share them.



SOME CRAPPY SCREENSHOTS I TOOK (forgive the lack of AA) WHILE CAREENING AROUND SOME RETARDED TRACKS HOLY SHIT






TOTALLY WALLRUNNING












FUCKING WALL CRAWLER OUT OF NOWHERE WHAT THE FUCK

I DIDN'T EVEN FINISH THE DAMN TRACK



GAME IS NOT OUT YET, BUY IT NOW AND PLAY THE BETA WHILE YOU WAIT

GAME IS OUT NOW, JUMP IN AND PLAY

IT'S IN BETA AND THERE'S ALREADY SOME RIDICULOUSLY GOOD LOOKING MODS OUT WHAT

hueg:

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well they didn't make it to the midnight launch, but the full game is out now. Beta updates itself to the full version when you start it up. I have to go out in a bit, but I did get my first gold medal :]


EDIT:

FUCK



There's nowhere I can't reach.

I HAVE PAINTED MY FIRST CAR



This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I must say the editor takes some getting used to. Too many pieces that for some random reason simply will not stick to each other, forcing you to compromise how you want to lay out this part and that part.

Still, it's really addicting once you get into it. I've created my first track.



And as you can see from the backgrounds and blocks, I am also testing out what is only admittedly, the best mod ever.





I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm afraid not. The game is fairly well optimized however and runs smooth even on my computer (XP, dual core, 8800GTS). A lot of people on /v/ are playing it on their laptop. Here's the system requirements from the website:

OS : Windows XP / Vista / 7
CPU: 1.5 Ghz
Memory: 1 Gb
Video Memory: 256 MB, Pixel Shader 2.0 / Intel HD 2000 / Nvidia ION / AMD HD 6310
HDD: 1.5 Gb

I was speaking idiomatically.

Since this thread is apparently going to stay my monologue, I might as well make use of it.

Maniapark is a fine source for TM2 car skins and track mods.


Anyone who's already tried download skins and are having trouble applying them:

car paints:

With car skins you place the entire zip file into your Maniaplanet personal folders in \Skins\Vehicles\CanyonCar\



After this they'll show up when you go select your car's paint (Main menu -> Profile -> Vehicles).

track mods:

The track mods are a bit more difficult to use. You place the zip in your personal folders in \Skins\Canyon\Mod\





And after this you have to manually apply the mod to a track as you go edit it. This means custom skins (as far as I could tell) need to be applied per track, and can only be used on tracks you have downloaded on your HDD, and are editable.


When you go into the editors menu and select load a map, it'll show you the track files you have





Here, you need to hold down (left) CTRL and click the track name to highlight it



Then when you click EDIT, it'll ask you to (re)select the mood/time of day for the map, and after doing this it'll let you apply different textures





I've yet to test if tracks built with custom textures applied will show them to another player who doesn't have the skin zip saved.



If anyone wants to test it for me, here's the track I made:
http://www.gamingforce.org/staff/Qwarky/TM2/lego.rar


I rarred it up to be sure, extract the track file inside to \Maps\Downloaded\qwarky\ and it should show up in local play. If it doesn't load for some error or loads default canyon textures, download the lego mod and put the zip in \Skins\Canyon\Mod\

EDIT:

I AM HERO

wheeee:

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I finally learned how you import images as stickers. I tried it before but must have done something wrong because I couldn't get it to work.

Stickers are in the folder \Media\Painter\Stickers\ And you need to create a separate folder for each image:



You save the image as Sticker.tga as well as make a 64x64 version of it and save that as Icon.dds

After that the image will show up in the stickers menu.

EDIT:

BEHOLD, CHEN! I HAVE MADE A CAR!

Spoiler:

FELIPE NO

I'm in the middle of playing Witcher 2 right now, trying to finish it before my Dark Souls arrive, but I intend to get back to playing TM2 once I'm done with it.

How ya doing, buddy?
