MX Simulator

Yeah that is indeed weird. I don't really get it why the water could cause lagging so much when then fps still stays fairly high for you guys.

Haggqvist made the water anim and never noticed any problems and neither did I when I tested it. But then again, he has even more of a NASA computer so perhaps it's not a surprise it worked.

Here's a 512x512 version of the animated water: http://www.mediafire.com/file/dei8u8z4m ... 512x512.7z
It would be great if some of you who has experienced problems could try this out and post the results here...

The animated textures are stored in system (i.e. not graphics) memory and uploaded to the graphics card whenever the image changes. So large images will use up all of the bandwidth to the graphics card. Also, the animated textures ignore the texture resolution settings since the assumption is the texture is already low res to save memory and bandwidth.

Thanks

Someone send me the files I need to see the trees. Thanks.

In order to see all the objects/decals you'll need these tracks/object packs:
Blackhawk Hollow: http://www.puremxs.com/Tracks/TrackView ... rackID=215
Sorketorp Trackfiles: http://www.mediafire.com/?rl8v95svd6ywg58
Treepack: http://mxsimulator.com/benchracing3/vie ... f=2&t=1285

The fuck is with people and the inability to read the puremxs description?!

I did not read it I downloaded it a 3am.. I'm barely capable of doing anything at that time.

Track is VERY realistic, VERY well made, yet VERY difficult. Do not recommend for beginners! I run about 10 seconds slower fastest lap times than the fastest guys on SX so thats about where my skill level is. Good luck!

An excellent example of why I always bundle everything in my tracks, even though it often duplicates large amounts of storage data. I learned a long time ago you can't trust people to follow instructions. That applies to more then just the MXS community too!

Hope JLV sees this.

I've noticed that all the tracks JLV releases have this mysterious .gz file extension on each file within the saf. Can we compress each file, including models/texs, before saffing the track, and still have it work all good? I think that would save quite a bit of space, correct me if I'm wrong.

They're gziped - http://www.gzip.org/

Just don't gzip the png files. zlib and libpng don't get along for some reason and png's are already compressed anyway.

None of the downloads work for me at all. Most mediafire.com links come up with "Deleted or invalid File" I don't know if it's only me, but I can't download this track, nor many of the necessary track files to get the full experience of this track.

Maybe cause there 2 years old just like the last post in this topic before yours was....
