This is really good work. I never imagine it would get to this point.

Extract the folders into your TM2 directory then pick Moscow: Suicide Slide in game to play it.

I haven't had time to test it yet. The level looks a lot better if you turn on Hardware Acceleration in TM2Setup.exe

Actually, I uploaded a video of it too.


Now about releasing the map editor/compiler itself, I've learned a lot about what works and what doesn't work in the TM2 engine after making a couple maps. As of now, making a new level is somewhat tedious. TM2 has a really primitive method for rendering polygons which can cause clipping issues, such as polygons further away from the camera appearing in front of closer polygons, and the only way I know to fix this is to subdivide the polygons so they're smaller. And on top of that, if you have too many polygons on the screen then the game will crash. I basically had to go back and forth from sub-dividing the meshes until there was no more clipping issues and reducing the number of polygons for each mesh once it started to crash the game.

It took a many tries of cloning and subdividing the meshes in the canyon level before I got it working just right. I'm not too experienced with Blender or 3DS Max so there may be more efficient ways to do it, but that process by itself took longer than it took to make the level in Sketchup. Plus there's all kinds of other issues that can come up if you don't do this process correctly. I don't want to release the map editor/compiler until it can automatically subdivide and organize the meshes itself. If I released it without that, virtually everyone would have different kinds of issues with their levels and it would be a giant headache for everyone.

I just want the map compiler to be an easy to use tool, not some Bethesda abomination of a modding tool.

hello people, if someone wants to edit the car's speed from TM1PC. you only have to open the file "TWISTED.exe" with a hexeditor (make sure to have a copy). then you have to go to the offsets:
0x262AB  -> Sweet Tooth Speed (Default: 5A)
0x263D7 -> Darkside Speed (Default: 5A)
0x26513 -> Yellow Jacket Speed (Default: 6E)
0x2665B -> Hammer Speed (Defautl: 5A)
0x2679F -> Crimson Fury Speed (Default: 87)
0x268E7 -> Outlaw Speed (Default: 73)
0x26A2F -> Pit Viper Speed (Default: 6B)
0x26B77 -> Warthog Speed (Default: 5B)
0x26CB7 -> Thumper Speed (Default: 78)
0x26E00 -> Roadkill Speed (Default: 78)
0x26F37 -> Mr. Grimm Speed (Default: 7D)
0x27073 -> Spectre Speed (Default: 82)
0x271B7 -> Minion Speed (Default: 73)
The range of values are from 00 to FF
___
example (editing mr. grimm top speed)
...
...
notice that the maximum speed is 238 unlike TM2 (which is 254)

Have you tried experimenting with the other hex values near the speed values?

Yeah but as Manta Ray mentioned, we may need to change the vehicle stats for the bigger levels.

Thanks for posting those. I'll definitely use them when I try to add more cars to the game.

I'm kind of curious, I wonder how close we could make TM2 look like TM:Black. We can replace meshes and use HD textures to make the game more modern.

I've downloaded Blender ans have been working on a map similar to the Downtown battleground from Black..would be cool to have the textures actually ripped from the game, but I'm starting to actually consider using retro graphics and textures from other Single Trac games to supplement the ones already in the game.

I'm pretty sure I'll have the map editor/compiler released this month. I was going to release it last month but I ran into issues that I had to fix and it's 1000x better now. In the old version, you had to manually subdivide meshes to avoid clipping issues and manually set their draw distance. Now the map compiler will automatically subdivide meshes and create different models based on their draw distance.

I will release a video showing the process of making the map in Sketchup all the way to playing the level in game. It'll be called something like "From Sketchup to TM2 Tutorial" It will include a written tutorial as well.

I've learned the basic functions of building the maps on Blender, but how do you get the scaling correct and actually implement it in the game? Looking forward to using this more soon.

Blender uses the gird as measurement and you can adjust it as such (Inches, feet, etc etc.) To get and idea of scale you will need a level from the game and come up with your own understanding of how big the levels are.

Once you figure that out converting other things from the real world into twisted 2's scale should be no problem.

______________

Also to share with you guys something I found out while messing around with Jet Moto that also applies to Twisted metal:

"I fell into a happy accident today while messing about with Unreal Tournament.

A funny fact is when you extract skins from UTX they are saved as PCX sound familiar?

I found that Paint.Net with this plugin=(https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/2135-pcx-plug-in/) you can open the PCX files in JetMoto and Twisted. Just like I thought, these mostly handle menus and the such."
