Trackmania United Forever: A Végső Útmutató

Titka és sikere abban rejlik, hogy a fejlesztői mind fanatikus játékosok és nagyban hagyják magukat befolyásolni a játékosok által, azaz adnak a véleményükre.

A legújabb darab a 2007-es Nations Forever után a United Forever, ami gyakorlatilag annyit tesz, hogy a Nations részt ingyen kapjuk, ellenben a rengeteg plusz autóért, amit a United takar (nem is beszélve a raklapnyi pályáról), már fizetnünk kell. Továbbá az online küzdelmek sem érhetők el (legalábbis részben nem), míg meg nem vásároljuk a játékot.

Ezúttal nem sajnálom a fejlesztőktől a pénzt, amit a sokadik ingyenesen megjelentetett epizód után szeretnének keresni, hiszen a játék szép, élvezetes és rendkívül egyszerű. Annyira könnyű ráérezni az ízére, hogy bármelyik versenyzős játék javára válna ez a design.

A grafika évek óta ugyanolyan, megfelelően kellemes, komolyabb ráncfelvarrást sohasem kap, de itt-ott mindig belenyúlnak kicsit. A színvilág és az autómodellek nagyon szépek, a pályaelemek textúra felbontása is bőven elmegy még a mai ultraszuper 2k közelébe kúszó megoldások mellett is.

Végre van saját betétdal, amit egy kellemes női hang vokálozgat alá, ellenben a pályák alatti zenéket szinte biztos, hogy ki fogjátok kapcsolni, mert csak zavarja a koncentrálást.

Alapvető Játékmenet és Irányítás

Nincs semmi más, csak gáz, fék, jobb-bal iránybillentyű és egy újjáéledés gomb. Ez utóbbi azokra az esetekre kell, mikor elveszítitek az uralmat az autó felett és szeretnétek újra a pályára kerülni. Az egyszerűség miatt nincs szükség semmilyen tréningre, csak a sebesség kell és némi ügyesség.

Egész hihetetlen, hogy újra és újra nekiveselkednek az emberek a nehezebb pályáknak, csak azért, hogy minimális századmásodperceket javítsanak az eredményükön, ami persze nem mindig elég ahhoz, hogy az országokra bontott statisztika előkelő helyeire tornázzuk nemzetünket.

A United részeként 250-nél is több pályánál lesz lehetőségetek bebizonyítani, hogy képesek vagytok kitépni a maradék/összes hajatokat, hiszen rendkívül nehezek is akadnak köztük, melyekhez legalább száz nekifutás szükséges, míg sikerül úgy teljesíteni, ahogy azt szeretnétek.

Az újabb autók mind másként reagálnak az útviszonyokra, ráadásul számomra nem is adtak akkora élményt, mint a jól bevált régi versenyautó.

Gyakran Ismételt Kérdések (GYIK)

1. Vezérlő vagy Billentyűzet?

   Well this question is very hard to answer, in theory you can do just as good with keyboard than controller, but controller is just more smooth and easier to master.

   If you play alot of dirtmaps i would recommend controller, because on dirt keyboard is just very hard.

   The most pro people play with controller, but i've seen a few keyboard-mashers like me :)

2. Hogyan csatlakoztassuk a vezérlőt?

   It is not just plucking the USB cable into your computer, you also need to download a software on your computer.

3. Melyik autóra fókuszáljak?

   That depends. My personal opinion is that you should focus on the car, that gets you the most attention and interest, but also which car you are good at.

Haladó Technikák és Trükkök a Pályán

In trackmania there are many sorts of bugs you can use to your advantage.

Also a thing to mention is that it is always and i mean always best to stay on the road gaining more speed, than jumping up in the air and not gain any speed.

Grasslide (Fűcsúszás)

Grasslide is about if you turn your car a little bit over 90 degress in mid-air, if you press forward, brake and that side you want to go to, then when you land you will do a very fast turn by keeping your speed.

This can be used not only on grass, but also on all the different roads.

You can use grasslide if there is a jump in a track and then a sharp turn.

Grasslide is actually also a bug.

Hill Usage (Dombhasználat)

Hill usage is a method needed for staying on the road while driving down steep hills. If you turn 45 degress to a side, and turning back to straight, you will stay on the road instead of jumping. It is used for generating more speed and is alot faster.

Ramp Jump (Rámpaugrás)

Ramp jump is a method for gaining more speed. When you drive up a ramp and go out on the side of it with 2 wheels, the car will tilt and if you also airbrake you will gain much more speed.

This method is used in almost every map with a ramp in it.

Ramp Flip (Rámpafordulat)

Ramp flip is also a method for gaining more speed. Ramp flip is if you drive up a ramp from out on the sides and makes a flip.

Ramp flip is used in tracks where the cars goes high in the air, but it is more important to stay on the ground, gaining more speed.

Loop Skips (Loop Kihagyások)

Loop skips is for avoiding getting up in a loop. The best way to explain this is with this picture:

Brake Turn (Fékes Kanyar)

Brake Turn is when you go into a sharp corner, and got enough speed to brake while still driving and turning. Its called "drifting". The brake turn is always used in a "tech" track.

Airbrake (Légfékezés)

An airbrake is when you get air and brake in under 1 sec, when your car is almost straight. This technique is for gaining more speed.

Grass Speed (Fűsebesség)

Grass speed is when you're driving on grass or dirt, and then turning a bit to the right and left all the time. The grass speed gains you alot of speed.

Hibák és "Bugok"

For examble is there a bug called "rammsteinbug", which might sound a bit strange, but is actually a bug. On the normal road, there are some black stripes out on the sides of the road. These black stripes are actually little bumps that triggers some of the time if you drive over it in a specific way. That is called the rammsteinbug.

If you want to do the rammsteinbug, you need to trigger the bump by turning a bit fast into the bumps, (if you turn slowly it wont work).

Checkpoint vagy Célvonal Bug

This bug is very hard to do. If you drive "under" the checkpoint or finish in the middle (where the black stripe are, you will get the checkpoint/finish.

Kombinált Technikák (Combos)

1. When you do the ramp jump or ramp flip, sometimes you need to airbrake while you are in the air for stopping you from spinning around or flipping too much.

2. This combo is also called "the uberbug" - when you jump and turn 90 degress falling down doing the grass slide and also gets a rammsteinbug, so you smash into the side of the road and go flying very much.

Autó Testreszabás

Autó festése

O.k. so you want to paint your own car? It ain't that hard :)

You start by clicking on "Editors" and then "Paint a car". After that you just choose a car you want to repaint and let your creativity loose.

When you've saved your car you need to go to "profile" and then "vehicles", for choosing your car as the one you want to drive with.

Actually are there many other things you can do with your car, for examble "shadow paint".

Árnyékfestés (Shadow Paint)

Shadow paint is a bit advanced, so i recommend skipping this part, unless you really want it. So this is what you can accomplish:

Előkészületek:

1. You will need a way to open and edit and save .dds (Direct Draw Surface) files - Photoshop with the Nvidia plugin or paint.net or some external file converters that can read and write .dds files and use your favorite editor. This is important because many of the plugins will default to the last type of .dds file that was saved and will not tell you which type was opened (whether it is a DXT1, DX3, DXT5. With or without an Alpha channel ect.)

2. You will need the original Shadow file for the environment available in the:(YourDriveLetter):\Program Files\TrackMania Nations ESWC\GameData\Vehicles\Media\Texture\Image. In United and the other Trackmania games it is just about the same. Well…This is not truly necessary but it gives you the best chance for a good result.

Lépésről lépésre:

1. Step 1. Open a shadow file. or create a new file (either 512x512 pixels for Stadium or 256x256 for the other environments). They are located in the (YourHardDrive):\Program Files\TrackMania United\GameData\Vehicles\Media\Texture\Image directory. It seems non standard sizes can be used but the game will take the mipmap that is closest to the right size and either stretch it or squish it.

2. Step 2. Edit the image: this is where you can be creative. Remember that white (#FFFFFF) is transparent or actually it allows all the light through it.

3. Step 3. Flip the image horizontally(side to side) retaining the up and down orientation. This is important because the shadow is a projection and will have the text backward if it is not flipped.

4. Step 4. If you use PhotoShop saving the file as a .psd or if using Paint shop Pro a .psp file first before saving/converting it as a DDS file will make it easier to edit later as it will retain the layers such as text and blending options. If using an external converter it is a good idea to save the file to either a .jpg or .bmp or .tga file. These formats won’t retain layers but are usually supported by the majority of file converters.

5. Step 5. using the Nvidia plugin for Photo Shop is a snap but save the file as a DXT1 No Alpha file. It is at the top of the list. Make sure the generate mipmaps switch is on.( I'm not sure if this is really necessary but it works well for me)

6. Step 6. Now how to use the file. Create a skin for your car and save it ingame. Open the zip file it is located in (YourHardDrive):\Documents and Settings\(YOURNAME)\My Documents\TrackMania United\Skins\Vehicles\(WHATEVER ENVIRONMENT) and put the DDS shadow file into it. Rename that file “ProjShad.dds” . This is important because if it is not named this way the game won’t pick it up and the default shadow will be used. So at the very least there will be: Diffuse.dds Icon.dds ProjShad.dds If the car skin has the geomerty in it too you can put it in the CarCommon directory. Otherwise it will just put you car skin on the default car for the environment.

7. Step 7. Now go ingame and start up the vehicle selection in your profile. Note! You do not need to exit the game entirely, just the vehicle selection section for changes to appear. If done correctly your new shadow will appear on the rotating car in the preview.

8. Step 8. Upload the zipped skin to the web. Make sure you have the proper ports open if you use a router. And your shadow will be visible to everyone who has car shadows turned on.

Note! Here is an interesting glitch that is very annoying to others but worth mentioning. If the graphic continues to the edge and is not bordered by white this is what results.

Egyedi Autók Letöltése

Sooo you can also download custom cars from the internet...

Pályaszerkesztő és Tartalomkészítés

There are 2 types of Nations Trackeditors:

1. Simple Editor
2. Advanced Editor

In the simple editor you cant express yourself as much as in the advanced editor, so i very highly recommend you try advanced editor.

It is almost impossible to make good tracks in the simple editor.

Pályatípusok és Tippek az Advanced Editorban

I would recommend you try to make these 4 types of tracks:

• LoL - Easy difficulty
• Dirt - Medium difficulty
• Tech - Hard Difficulty
• Fullspeed - Insane Difficulty

And remember that it is very important to make a "momentum" when you try to make a good track.

When i make lol, dirt or tech tracks i almost all the time go after 920 - 1020 pieces - including decoration.

It is always a good idea after you've validated your track to check which times the medals got, because sometimes the medals are not balanced compared to how hard the track is.

Pálya Prezentációja

If people should be interested in precisly YOUR track, then you need to do a bit of presentation.

I always make a "Intro film" where i show them the cool things in my map, by choosing the "camera: path".

When you make a fullspeed or a tech map, sometimes people cant seem to find out where 2 go, so you can make a "GPS".

You need to record a time, and insert it in the clip you make. "A clip" is when you click on the place you want to have the gps (if they go to that place the gps will be shown).

In the clip you need to make a "camera: race" and focus on the time you've imported from your replays. (This can also be used if you want a cool nickname).

Egyedi Zene Hozzáadása

You can also have custom music in your track! You grow bored of that eternal wind blowing, crickets making sounds, dogs barking, birds tweeting real quickly? Did you have enough of that menu music? Can't you stand one other loop of Alpine's race soundtrack? Have you played TMO, TMS and/or TMN and liked the music there much more? Do you want to have some music playing without having to keep Itunes or MediaPlayer in the background?

Well here it is:

1. Step 1. Download the .mp3 file, and put it in a place where you can find it again.

2. Step 3. Open the converter and put your .mp3 file in it.

3. Step 5. Click on "File" and then click on "Save as". Then you need to save it as an .ogg file.

Egyjátékos Kampány és Medálok

There are 4 types of Medals:

• Bronze Medal
• Silver Medal
• Gold Medal
• Author Medal

These medals can be optained in the "solo campaign".

You can only see what the author medals time is, when you've unlocked 1 black track. A black track can be unlocked by having gold medals in all the other tracks.

Remember that it is always smart to go into camera: behind (press 1), because you get a better overview of what's coming next.

There is 260 Medals in total! 256 if you exclude the 1 hour long black track. I got 255 medals, so i've enough experience to tell you which ones are easier to get than the others.

Pályatípusok Nehézség szerint (kampány)

Here are the easiest/hardest types of tracks sorted with the easiests first:

1. The Obstacle Tracks - Warning some of them can also be very hard

2. The Race tracks - Recommended

3. The Speed tracks - go close to the corners and gain as much speed as possible

Kampány Shortcuts (Vágások)

There are many cuts in the solo campaign... 2 well-known youtubers do alot of cuts. They are called:

1. Just Another Virtouso (Jaw)
2. Nino

Here is a list of all cuts you can do in the solo campaign:
