The use of custom files as .dds for imaging and .ogg for sound files has been on my mind since I picked up TMU a few years ago. Well actually since I ever played Crusard's tracks. I started working on something a few years ago. But the work you have to put in is insane. So I gave up and stopped playing TMU.
Finally I bought TM2 a few days ago and it has been on my mind again. Funny thing though when I "completed" my work so did Skeleton upload his version of The Trump Card. Great to see some people had the same admirers. I had a bit of trouble at first, getting to know everything again (new features, websites, custom files, programs, ...), but problems aside here is my new track. It's not as good as Crusard's (and co.) tracks but I wouldn't say it's that bad. Demolition Crew (A story at speed) Story 
Someone needs to blow something up with dynamite and you are ready for the job. First collect the goodies at the office, then drive to the site, plant the dynamite and get the hell out of there. Be careful, the fuse might be a little short, so you must be quick!! If you don't like stories, don't worry it's still a fun racer as well! 
It's not to technical but, oh boy, is it fast paced. I had to change a few things at the end, since I had doubt about hitting or not hitting checkpoints or turbo's. This is why the very last turn has no turbo. I almost hit the wires and by almost I mean you skilled riders out there, you would've crashed into them. 
Since I raced this track over and over and over again to get everything right I've set a pretty tight time to beat. I'm looking forward to the replays! Good luck! The first time you have to take the road out (U turn), the second time you almost have to make a full circle. The maps should be obvious and this description will become clear after racing
I hope you guys/girls like it. It's a bit different then usually. Feel free to give a comment good or bad. You may criticize, it helps me and others build better tracks as we go. Just keep it clean and fun for everyone to read. Cheers StickyBert (AKA StickyLou) Every comment/award will be taking into consideration for future tracks. PS: Please let me know if the files are working or aren't working I'm still getting used to the custom files and haven't worked with .loc files before. |

Should I make more story based tracks?
Any pointers from the last one? To fast, to difficult or easy, to boring, more sounds, music, ... anything? |

I was watching Eyebo's replay and I figured the maps aren't clear enough. So I'm did a small update!
Update news: - Blue maps have been updated with the view of 2 roads. One of those to has a red cross over it which means DON'T GO THAT WAY!!! - sign added at the start - put in car headlight triggers for the dark parts ingame (I can't see them but they work  (I don't have a powerful laptop))
- put in car headlight triggers for the dark parts in the outro as wel - validation time isn't my best so I want to see replays!!!!
- Changed the lazy man's route to a narrow entrance just so you peeps would take the "shortcut", JUMP INTO THE LIGHT!!!! it will be fine, I promise. Ok that's it. It's updated! Have fun! |
