I know i've only been playing tmu for 2 days, but im slightly disappointed. Some of the cars are ridiculously responsive and can go round corners without braking. IMO they've made stadium worse than nations, but its still good. And i havent raced all the enviornments yet.
But i got a go kart on nations and im going to mess around with the cars and avatars on tmu tomorrow |

Except maybe the environments from the original serie (Rally, Desert and Snow) you'll learn to like them

Sorry ???
It's the same stadium with more things, what could be worse ???
Maybe it's not the good thread to debate about Nations and United... I suggest you create a new one in the "General Chat" forum to talk about your feelings with United |

Some news about the manialink. Since i changed my website/hostname, the manialink pages have been erased and ... it so much boring to work on it (xml pages) and United is so much falling down, i won't remake it.
Feel free to download on CarPark without giving coppers, i don't care about it anymore
Have fun.
The Nations model for the Formula United (called Forula Nations or Formula N) is available on trackmania.southmoon (in the first group)
When i have time, i'll continue to make skin and upload them on CarPark.
To use the United skin on the nations model, simply replace the Diffuse.dds and Icon.dds files from the united zip to the Nation one
My actual Nation car is available here (marlboro colours) |

You need a plugin for opening and saving .dds files. Google 'Plugin photoshop dds' or something like that.
And when saving files, just use the defaults because it works that way.
Good luck with the mapping |

Exactly
If you have other problems, i could find some tutorials on TM-Forums to show you how to do.
One thing you could do is download the Formula United Templates from the 3D model on carpark (the template files, not especially the model or locator of you already get it or if you play only TMN) |

Instead of Photoshop, I use Paint.NET. I only actually use it for the 'assembly stage' (putting stuff together with layers). The other two things I use are MS Paint (for close-up tinkering with logos etc.) and Irfanview (resizing signs and TMX track screenshots). _________________

i have had a go at changing the skin of my kart but once i made all the changes and saved it compressed it and put it into the right folder. i got in the game and all it showed was the normal car model with the standard gray skin. |

lol, make sure you keep the diffuse.dds file as diffuse.dds and make sure it is saved as .dds not jpeg or pps or whatever photoshop defaults to these days. |

Be sure you have the good 3D model too
For TMN, you downloaded it on TrackmaniaSouthmoon ? |
