I made a mod. I think it's pretty cool. I hope you will like it too. It makes your car really shiny.

more pics to come ! I've made changes to the stadium as well but mom says it's time to go to bed so be on the lookout![/i]

Final parts of the stadium. My mod is complete !

I really hope you all will like it. I worked pretty hard on this one.
Where as most people just use paint.net, my computer will not allow it. So it takes 4 times as long for me to create pieces than most other modders.

Going only on these screenies, I approve. It looks somehow sinister and threatening, the cars would look gleaming!
I'm a bit concerned it would be difficult to pick apexes: the barrier/rammstein/track surface needs some delineation or it's just a blur at speed.
Given the low number of LaValle's tracks on the server (and the hard work he's put in) I would upload this to support the modding scene.

I know I've asked this before, but (a) how can I download a mod (b) how do I add it to a track (I've just made a particularly menacing one) and (c) cna I get rid of it and revert to TMN Vanilla?

MODS

Download the mod.zip file and place in a folder in the games folder called

gamedata\skins\stadium\mod

then in game hold the left ctrl key whilst opening the track and a hidden menu will appear. sneaky.

for the server SMALL mods are required. ie no more than 3MB thats THREE MEGABYTES. Even these small mods affect framerates and hit peoples downloads so keep it small. otherwise the tracks will not be usable on the server.

Cool. So does that mean I have to overwrite the original mod or that I can only have 1 mod? And when I save it that will be embedded into the file forever? And where can I download one from? Sorry!!!

you can have as many mods as you like and erm not sure the best place to download them. google them.... or similar.

So...does this mean...that...that...you liked my mod? The one that I made...was acceptable ? OMG!!! OMG!!!

I like the look of it but playing it might be a different thing. Have you uploaded it anywhere?

I've heard that if you make a mod or a car and such you will need to make a .loc file for other people to see it ??? If anyone could shed some light on these .loc files that would be great.

follow this link to download my mod.

Please tell me if the mod gives you any trouble.

It looks beautiful, but it's nothing like your pics. Maybe it's something to do with my graphics settings. Also, on certain tracks I get a runtime error and TM shuts down ... Nice though!

LaValle · Joined: 02 Sep 2007 Posts: 193 Location: Ohio

So I'm not the only one who gets a runtime error. Usually if you turn your computer off and on, the mod will work. Also...the last time the runtime error box appeared another box appeared that said "DirectX 9.0 initiation failed. So it might be that our DirectX is not up to date.

THX for the reply!

Yes, but it worked on some tracks but not on others. I do think it's pretty though, although it has a dusky feel to it rather than the stark monochrome and garishness of the images. There's an option in the launch box for PC1,2 or 3. I have it on 2, and I know a lot of colour effects and blur etc don't work until level 3 - perhaps it has something to do with that?
