Textures and Materials it is a different things, mbpc does not support wide range of game materials at the moment, only solid and alpha.
(under Materials i've meant Visual Materials)

Hey coastkid, these blocks are really impressive

Video tonight, maybe

you should look at a secure system, so you must have all blocks to be able to play the track. ^^
and add support for sign blocks.

Hello. Now that files must be .dae files, I'm unable to do blocks anymore. When I start mpbc, here's the error :


Could someone do a tutorial for .dae files because I don't know how it works with this type of file

When it was .3ds files, everything was fine, but now it makes about 2 weeks that I try to do corrects .dae files.

I need help please

Send me your files and I'll take a look at what's wrong.

Here's the link : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43316185/MyTm2Blocks/ForArc.zip

I think that the problem is my .dae files, because after the export, I can't open these .dae files in 3ds max. It gives an error and close 3ds max.

The problem is indeed with the .dae's, specifically SoccerGoalTrigger.dae. The model had duplicate meshes, one with a material named "fa" and another with a material named "Map17" - for which there was no <material> entry in the .xml. Removing the Map17 duplicate fixed the crash, here's the corrected file.

There are more problems with the models after that though.

• Translations and rotations are applied on the models, presumably you didn't Reset XForm. This is needed, also the pivot needs to be in the origin with no rotation applied!
• The mesh in SoccerGoalTrigger must be named "collision" so that mpbc picks it up as a collision mesh. In your file it was called "Trigger", hence it was just a visual mesh - and TrackMania crashes because it expects trigger models to have a collision.
