Great ideas Gio. Would love to see these implemented within the game, Would be cool to start out in the pits on a practice session. maybe under a tent next to a van lol. I also think MXB should feature  a pitboard similar to MXSim that would be cool. Im anxious to see what we got installed for us, would be cool to see a new video soon. especially after that MXGP one which was released today, it looks fun but still seems a bit "clumpy?"

As milestone released their second gameplay video today, are the chances slim that we'll get a new video or screenshot

yeh i agree we need an offline ghost, is this easy to do piboso?

PiBoSo doesn't like Ghosts :p We asked him to add Ghosts in GP Bikes but he doesn't want ghosts atm. We will see A ghost would be cool but not really necessary for me

lol, oh well. i guess that answers that question then! thanks mate

will there be rider numbers and name on jersey?
this is a huge issue in mxs as you need to skin them to your gear, so you need to download some ones custom texture to see there name on their jersey.

id like to see an editable name/number just like reflex with different fonts. or even better, an 256x256 alpha overlay that aligns over your jersey so that people can have custom numbers overlays that works with all the different skins. the overlay would be registered to only that users id.

this is an awesome idea, reflex was awesome for that. Great idea tho, would love to see this implemented. At least everyone would have the stock fonts so you would always see a name and number. Obviously front and side numberplates would feature the same thing.

Chest protectors and neck brace combos are IMO are pretty irrelevant thing right now. Why worry yourself about them? Wouldn't you rather have better sounds and as motoboss pointed out weather, actual details that matter? I mean ain't neck braces and chest protectors for 8 year olds and girls anyway? Lol I've been riding 25 years and never wore them.

He also means separate model.

Not on the rider, because it is rigged.

Would it be possible to combine the models into a single model in code before they are used in the animation/physics simulation?

Everything is possible, but would it be worth it?
How could modders rig gloves and boots to the existing skeleton?
Also, having fixed boots and gloves models would mean less fragmentation and less contents to sync between users.

i personally think this would be better anyway, yeah we can make different skins which resemble the actual models irl. at least more focus will go into gameplay rather than these lesser details. sure i would like different model goggles and boots but its kinda irrelevant imo.

Awesome. Thanks alot

Will bike skins and rider skins work exactly the same as gp bikes? With the unpack,pack and soon?

Yes. Exactly the same.

thanks piboso, thats awesome as I've already started my 08 yzf r6 skin! Getting to grips with it now. One last thing, where will I be able to find a rider template for MXB when its out? Do you release a "stock" template we can then edit?

Each to their own I suppose. Thats what makes us individuals.

scratch that piboso, sorted it.

Nice to see you al. Looking forward to seeing your tracks on here mate.

Just to be sure...............
You said there was going to be an ingame editor right?

No editor. Neither ingame nor external.
There are tools to:
a) export meshes
b) convert text files, bitmaps and meshes to a format the engine can read
c) view the track
d) edit additional data ( race data, cameras, marshals, ... )

So placing billboards and models will be done at which one of those steps?

Between A and B, editing a text file.

Just a general observation pib. If something is hard, less people will try to learn how to do it, and with even less people achieving how to do it. The ingame track editor is easy as you dont need any other programs and everyone can do it. This also helps grow the community as more people will give it a go with more people achieving success. i for one would highly recommend a ingame editor. i know how much and if it will be a lot of extra work, but it will help grow a far bigger and better community.

I have to agree. I appreciate the effort involved but as mx181 said it will take the game to the next level.  I'm happy to throw my money at you either way anyway

Ya a half hour ..Ive taught many people...Don't 3 and 4 year olds ride bikes? I think I saw chad reeds kid ride out in opening ceremonies... lol
