Hello buddies Very Happy

I can't be registered on a TM forum without talking about this car Mr. Green

For a long time, i thought there was something missing in Trackmania. Something nervous, something a little bit "rageous".

One day, i had a great opportunity to ask a 3D modeler called Flipout to create a car from a draw of mine. one month later, here it is. The Formula United is born and you can enjoy it for free at CarPark ( www.trackmania-carpark.com )

Following this link, you'll see the 3D model post and all the 2d skin which have been done, untill now, for it

, ok iv'e downloaded loads of cars & i use them i nthe game, but only i can see them.. is this to do with me downloading the free full version & not buying the actual game witha cd-code which allows you to have "different cars" to the others ?

You're talking about TMN ?
I think a TMN version of the Formula United has been done, but anyway, even with a cd key it doesn't work all the time to let other players see your car.

With TMU, there is no problem at all. Wink

The engine sounds are already customized. For the horn, i didn't know really what to use so i let it free.

How does what work ?
Making sounds or putting them in the zip files ?

To be honnest, i don't know how to make them, i find them here and there and when they please me, i take them Wink

If one day you hear a player who has sounds car which please you a lot, go there : C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TrackMania United\Cache
That's the place where are all pannels, cars, mods downloaded on your computer. It was easier to find on Nations, they have "hiden" it a little bit more for TMU because of the coppers, manialinks, and so on. Commercial reasons what. Wink

Eureka!!!!!! oodles of stuff Laughing

prob: it's all labelled with a long number, is there a quicker way of searching for the file you're intersted in than hovering over with cursor (there's some plain English at the end of the number string) ?

You have to read in these long names if you see something interresting... Tidy up them from the oldest to the newest can help if you're searching a recent file.

Only Zipfiles can be cars but also mods.
I don't know any other way. Wink

but you won't be interested in the next bit... cos i was just musing, how do we see cars that have been made for TMU appear in TMN? at least, i thought i had Confused

That's a work for 3D modeler. The models for TMU are not compatible for TMN and vice versa, they must be worked to be.

Why the hell are you talking about TMN ? Very Happy

You've got TMU
