Interesting project, sounds pretty ambitious, but also fun imo.
I'll join in, don't know how far I will get (or rather or fast I will be), but let's give it a try!

I've been choosing random tracks for a while now. But this beats everything.
This is just insane! But I love it!

I'm going to give it a try!

Hi guys, are any of you that are running all tracks finding that you have to run the unlimiter to get some of the older tracks to load? If not, is there anything you could think of that might be causing this? When there is a track that this happens with, there is no error, the track or replay starts to load and the game just quits. Using the unlimiter will always allow a track that does that to run.

With that said, it is cool to see others doing this too. I left a post on another forum topic on this, but I got started doing this trying to find the track wallcrawler 2. I had ran it in the beta and never remembered the name, so I started at the oldest page by page till i found it, I sort of got hooked going page by page running tracks, it is addictive because you never know what the next track will bring, Joy or a rage quit, LOL. So I thought it was cool to see others doing that page by [page also.

I read your post on the other forum but never got around to replying.

I haven't run across any tracks that I needed unlimiter for yet, but I'm only about 750 tracks in.

I do know there are tracks that build outside the normal building area, and for those... you do need to be playing with unlimiter. An example is one of Nimrod's recent tracks where you start really high in the sky and drive vertically down some wallrides all the way to the ground. That track builds far above the normal building space so it requires unlimiter when playing it.

I would hope most authors mark their track in the author comments saying that the track needs unlimiter in order to be played. But some probably don't.

There is some options coming soon on MX which will allow us to mark tracks that require unlimiter to be loaded in order to play the track.

About the project to play all tracks though. It's probably too ambitious and I'll probably never complete it. But the idea to play page after page of tracks is what motivates me. It's the unknown around every turn. You never know what the next track will bring. And I find that so exciting.

I find myself too busy with other things around TM and outside of TM and sometimes a week or more goes by without getting to continue on the project. But I definitely enjoy it when I do sit down for some hours to play through a group of tracks. I will keep going on this, and I'm gratified to see others still going at it too.

Regarding the videos on the ManiaExchangeTracks YouTube account which I mentioned in the OP post. That account has went from being a place where I posted every single track I drove to a place where Nimrod (aka Paddy), Chuckie, and myself post videos of random tracks we drive. I generally won't post a video there anymore unless its a track I've awarded. The videos take some time to do and I just don't have time to do videos of every single track.

Thanks to those guys for helping out!

I might be interested in more video uploaders in the future. If you're interested you could PM me. I can't promise I'll give you access to post, but I might consider it.

about that unlimiter thing, I also had it one or two times that the game crashes when I want to play the track. But I did not got the idea of the Unlimiter to be honest.

I was pretty inactive in uploading videos last time, because I had pretty much to with my own stuff. Next time some more uploads will come

Probably there are also some other people who want to help, would be kinda cool to have a whole team uploading tracks to youtube =)

I think I could do some videos, but only one or two per week. Is there a general channel so you can check out wether a video for a specific track has been done before? Also, I may not drive perfect runs

That's the channel.

You can search in the search bar by author name, track name, or track id.

So for instance you can search on the channel for "id3" and it'll come up with my track, Tortilla Chip Raceway. That "id3" is in the tags for the video. This makes it very easy to see if a video for a certain track id was already uploaded or not.

I actually encourage people to upload a video of the fastest posted MX replay, not their own (unless they also have the fastest).

I'll PM you with more details Buddha.

Awesome! Nice to see you two joining in!

My guess on the unlimiter issue, considering that these are fairly early tracks to the games life that I am talking about when possibly the unlimiter wasn't even made yet, is that there is something with the track that perhaps the later updates to the game balks at and the unlimiter keeps it from crashing.

very interesting and crazy project i've started to play the first 50 maps

Well, I had been running old tracks so much that I tried a newer one today without the unlimiter and the game crashes the same way, so I am not sure what is going on. Windows 7, geforce gtx460, latest drivers i5 processor, when it crashes, no error messages, don't even know how to start trying to figure it. Tried lowest to highest graphics settings, still does it, it crashes while the track or replay is loading.

Any ideas?
