While on the subject, helmet_n.tga doesn't seem to apply at all.

Just letting you know - Hopefully can be fixed alongside the boots

There is no normal map on the stock helmet. Hence it cannot be changed.
Boots have been tested and boots_n is correctly replaced.
Are you doing something wrong or has the bug already been fixed in Beta4 thanks to other changes?

Pib: Is there anything to this or Does it work fine for you? Possibly something I'm doing wrong? Would it help if I uploaded my paint?

The issue is under investigation.
Hopefully it will be fixed in Beta4.

PiBoSo, this works great on rider and gloves, but tried it on boots and it doesn't work right.

I tried to remove normals completely by just adding a very low intensity normal map of a block colour boot with a plain black spec map in alpha channel but the original boot normal appears to remain.

Could you please check the name? It should be "boots_n".
Also, please check that the texture sizes are power of 2.

1. Ability to change loading screen image (not found ability to do so yet)

The loading screen image is UI/bkgrnd.tga

Hey hey..

Is it possible to make new normal maps for rider gear? Would be great for the embossed logo look and material type..

Adding "rider_n" to the paint should replace the default normal map.

Track tools updated to fix a FBX2EDF bug:

There also are several improvements in TrackEd.

what does the reload button do Piboso?

It reloads the textures.

PaintEd updated:

The MXB server list blank again, problem or updating?

Everything should be back to normal now.

I'm having some trouble with a startgate I made. It looks likes the faces are flipped, but when I flip them before export they're even more flipped in game.

In 3ds max the faces are all right, but it looks weird in Mx Bikes.
Does anyone know what is going on right here?

Top image is how it should look.
Bottom image is how it looks in game.

Please make sure that there is no alpha channel in the diffuse texture.

I ditched what bike I was trying to alter and re-cloned the 250 with the proper name changed and it worked.  I'm thinking I may have corrupted the cfg. or the gfx file on my previous attempt

Good to know.

The INI and CFG files must be renamed to match the folder's name.
Also, the CFG file must be edited to change the ID to match the folder's name.

Me.. Again.. Sorry lol.

Is it possible to use more than one prefix when doing objects? I would test but don't have a lot of free time currently.

For example: SHAD_WLLCONC_wall1

Yes, it is possible, for example:
INVISIBLEWLLCONC

"SHAD_WLL" is redundant, because walls automatically receive shadows.

Could you please post the content of the LYR file?
Please make sure that the dirt textures are in the correct folder.

Thank you.
The LYR file points to the "mud" subfolder.
There are 2 options:
1) create it and move the dirt textures to it
2) delete "mud/" from the LYR file

Guess I'm not grasping the dirt textures deal. In game when dirt is being applied, the whole bike turns white instead of applying the dirt. I think it's something to do with my .tga's. I've tried with alpha channels and without with the same result.
