mpbc 0.1.9.1: custom block creation tool

[Trackmaniack]

I gotta say, this is really nice. I don't have the time or the skill to do this But I'll sure make use of it, and pay planets out the nose if I have to for it

This is one of my first thing that I created in 3ds max :

This is a kind of wave that you can ride on the side of it.

I know that the texture is not really good because i'm not a pro of 3ds max. I try to learn it slowly.
I'll be waiting for a tutorial for tm2 blocks creation

P.S. Sorry for my bad English, I'm french.

Nice idea phil13hebert, it can be whole new style of tracks, something like with name of "Liquid Ramp", that will contains all kind of smooth-from blocks on ground and air (bended spheres, trenches etc..), it will be easy to model and fun to play

You can't race on this but for stunt could be nice.
now about custom block i like the idea and maybe we will have some better block to fix some steppy map.
A usefull idea, add check points in a curves will help a lot and fix some cut.

probably making "functional" blocks (like start, finish, CP or booster) isn't possible (yet?). or I'm wrong? ^^

if it's going to be possible one day, I'd first like to see invisible or ring checkpoint (:

[PapyChampy]

Those blocks would'nt be such a great thing in my opinion, because they have the potential to greatly change the gameplay/alter what players are used to for an environment.

When players come across a boost, for example, (red or yellow) they are likely to anticipate what the reactions of the car will be. Let's say that a new custom boost block is created, with a value of 500. ( yellow boost would be 300, red would be 700)

Players are probably going to be confused, especially if it isn't a "successful" or "wipedly spread" block.

Just my 2 cents, as the boost example could apply to CPs or other "core gameplay blocks" as well.

[CoastKid]

I agree that it is better to do not touch core function blocks, i think much more about deco and semi-deco custom blocks (nature, junk/industrial ruins, cities, backgrounds ... etc),
but honestly i have think about ring and off-road checkpoints, and some special function blocks like gravity surfaces or portal gate (i have no idea if it even possible in root).

Portals? As in teleportation blocks? Give me some time to add clips first...
