Source code updated to the latest interface.

Plugins interface updated.

piboso What happened with the game mx bikes you are not talking about anything else ja and 4 months and the game was not released this game WHAT aconntecendo friend.

Me and Snappe are deeply sorry for MX Bikes not being ready yet.
At first there were personal problems, and now technical problems preventing release so far.

curious, i know and understand that the 'crew' behind the making of this game are confronting a little bit of conflict with the physics and what not, but, has there been any sort of beta release yet?

No release yet.

Hey piboso,can we get an update on a potential release date please. Do you expect to release before Christmas or do you expect it to be early next year? I'm not asking for an exact date just more of a completion percentage. Cheers

Definitely before Christmas 
Completion percentage is over 90%, but the rule of development is that the last 10% takes the 90% of the time 

Will there also be a 3rd person camera?

Yes.

Can't find the source but they did say the visor cam is for replays only as it would be difficult to ride that way. How ever I know for fact there will be a first person cam. And if its like gpb you can fully customize the position of the camera.

There are 2 onboard cameras for riding: one in the eyes and the other linked to the tank.

So I finnaly got the normal maps to work, but I've some weird problems with alpha channels now. It looks like I'm not able to use normal maps and alpha channels at the same time.

This is a simple cube with a green diffuse map on it and some black spots on the alpha channel. The settings I used for exporting FBX2EDF are 'Normals on recalculate and angle at 90'. Now the normal map works, but I see the other cubes behind the cube, which shouldn't be the case in some spots.

Please try adding the CK_ prefix to the diffuse texture name, to force alpha test.

I dont know if this question is ever asked before but how will we need to export the model so it could work in game? Like mxs?

There are 3dsmax and FBX exporters.

Yeah Nordic bought the title and by the looks of it and destroyed it. Having said that I will probably still play it as its abit of sit down relaxing fun on the couch rather than in the office on the PC.

Then who is Big Bang Entertainment?
The developers look more american than austrian 

If Milestones game is bad, just think how crap this one is! My god these physics are terrible. You can land at 90 degrees and not fall off!

Wasn't the new MX vs ATV supposed to be developed by Nordic Games? 

How many rider stability settings will we be able to control?

And will we be only able to play in 1st person or will there be a 3rd person camera?

There are 3 cameras: 2 onboard and 1 external.

QUESTION REGARDING EXTERNAL CAMERA:
I am into radio control dirt bikes. I have the ability, with a usb device, to use my 3 channel radio to be used as a basic xy game controller (steering, throttle, brake). My question is regarding the modding of the camera. In mxsim, just for testing I can mess around and run the bike in 3rd person with my radio, but the camera is 3rd person and not realistic to radio control. Would your external camera be able to be placed at a position and pitch/yaw to track the bikes movement like a stationary replay camera?

This is not possible at the moment.
Maybe something could be done, though.

Oh god. To break it down for some people. Here ya go.

4. Direct PM message from Piboso    ---->    Feel free to post MX Bikes news on your website.

News ( and public videos ) is not the same as private screenshots, though.

Facebook is gay. Anyways, I'm sure if Piboso didn't want photos to spread, then he wouldn't have posted any here in the forums. I think it will be good for the game. If it were me developing the game, I would spread the news as far as I could.

Screenshots and videos posted in the development section are meant to stay private.
Why don't you make your own game so you can spread everything you want? 

Hi Pib

just some questions...

Mx Bikes is based on OpenGL like GpBikes?

what's the problem to port GpBikes,MxBikes on DirectX? it's possible?

what's the joypad you're (you & Snappe) using to test MxB?

thanks

Ciao Ale.

OpenGL again, same engine. Why should it be ported to DirectX?
The xbox360 controller is the weapon of choice.
