Help with Mediatracker?

[ThrustMaster_P]

I was wondering if anyone could help me understand the Mediatracker? I have a car painted, a track created, and a Mediatracker ghost run completed and saved, but I just can't figure out how to create an intro. I have also scoured the web looking for tutorials on how to use the Mediatracker, even from past TM games, but I haven't found anything that broke it down simply for me. I even found this tutorial on Mania Creative, http://tutorials.mania-creative.com/tm_ ... ndex-eng-1, that *should* have helped, but doesn't. It doesn't even look like I have all of the buttons available in my Mediatracker that this tutorial is referencing.

Could someone explain how I create an Intro? I wonder if part of my problem is that, even though I have saved a ghost, I am unable to import it into the MT. Whenever I try to import it, I receive a 'Cannot import ghost' message. :/

Thanks for any help!

Just a bump...am I the only one not getting this?

I get that too, i solved it by clicking the little car button next to the "add track" button to record it while making the intro

Thanks! I will give that a try.

Okay, I was able to get a ghost created in the Mediatracker, and I selected to use that ghost run. Now, there is a MT track in place on the timeline for my ghost. However, when I hit play, the timeline starts playing but the car just sits there.

Also, I am unable to insert any blocks on the timeline. When I try to insert any block, I receive the message 'unable to insert block.'

Is MT really counter-intuitive, or something? Is there some vital piece of information about how to use the MT that I'm missing, and when I find it everything will fall into place? That's kinda how it feels right now, hehe. I feel like I'm missing some huge piece of the puzzle. Can anyone help me out?

Add new Camera Path.

First of all I haven't tested it myself yet but I'm affraid this will work like the previous TM games.
Make your ghost intro in the InGame editor. Export your clip to a file and import it back Into the IntroEditor. Now when your track starts it will work fine. (I hope)

I'm sorry but what I wrote above isn't working either. I'm "unable to import replay tracks" in the mediatracker.

you'd be well advised to ask the questions where you find the tutorials x,x

Hey

I just found out, how to fix the problem! I couldnt see my ghosts moving, too.

But when you play your map once online ( creat your own server with the map you created ) and you finish it, you can now working with ghosts in the MediaTracker!

Dont know why but this worked for me ^^

Have Fun
