Where the hell is the straight line or rectangle in the mod creator?

Use a square, then use advanced modifying... You can stretch it.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

That's ridiculous. A straight line is the first thing that should be added to any creation tool. The fact that it isn't in there at all is mind boggling.

How's the PSP community for this game?

 

[W1SSY]

Browsing through all of the user created stuff is making want to get this game so bad. I may not be able to control myself and end up going to pick it up Wednesday.

Bunch of stickers slapped together. lol

He's non-remixable, but you can download my Asuka Langley (same eyes) and use the sticker-set on a blank mod and then delete EVERYTHING except for the eyes. Then load up that sticker set onto your megaman.

if the eyes are just stickers, do they still animate? or will it remain static and the game counts it as having no eyes?

Always static... lol That's one downside, but you get the look you want. Plus it doesn't look that bad when you have it in game. You don't notice the "non-animation" too much.

How's the PSP community for this game?

It's been fairly solid. I play both PS3 and PSP versions and while I think the PS3 game is much, much better... the PSP game isn't anything to just pass over. It's a pretty dang good portable kart racer.

Online, it's pretty well done. You can upload / download creations and rate them (just like the PS3 version). Basically, to get into a game, you just go to the online match-up screen, have the filters show all games, and search. You'll see a lobby view of the available games.

Usually, there are a couple of games up. You don't have to wait very long (right now, anyway) for a game of 6 people. Same kind of XP / rating system as the PS3 version. It's not wildly popular but it's enough to get by.

They also included some online loading screen stuff, like showing you the top 5 karts downloaded online and how many DLs each has as well as the creator when loading an online race. Pretty nifty.

Had a few races on my first own track, and it turned out to be a pretty cool track to race on.

It’s not spectacular by any means (no big jumps and such), but it’s great for drifting, if anyone wants to have look ?

 

[MisterAnderson]

Working on my first track...question: Is it possible to have a branchable path using a tunnel? I made an area of track that I was planning on using road styles tool to make a tunnel that branches out into two tunnels...but the editor won't have it. It breaks the tunnel up and is acting as if the branching tool won't allow the use of tunnels.

Can I hell do that first "Beat the score" challenge. I always hit a wall somewhere and kill my drift score. Grrrr!

Um, got an email with a voucher code for airman cap, flight jacket and some kind of airplane-kart. If someone wants it, send me a pm.

But it is there...you just use the square...hit L1, and then modify it. I don't understand the necessity for redundancy by including a straight line.

In terms of pure balance, this is one of the better user created maps I've played. I actually forgot it was player-made until the second lap. Going on my favorites list.

When you go into edit mode (when you select a shape), press L1 to enter advanced edit mode.. Go to the resize tab (Press R2), once you're there use the D-pad (up and down) to squash vertically, or (left and right) to squash horizontally.

To make a thin horizontal line, squish the square DOWN all the way, and STRETCH it with the RIGHT d-pad control.

XP race is so pointless. Barely anyone plays them because you can't play with your friends and you can't play on custom tracks. There shouldn't even be two types of modes, we should be able to gain XP on casual races.

If they are so worried about rankups then just allow XP to be gained on UFG tracks. And every month promote a user-created track into the XP list.

Agreed. We also need a top creations this week filter.

 

[John]

Quick question - is it still easy to make characters without having bought lots of stuff, or do I have to go through the campaign and get everything first like in LBP?

Also does the campaign only get you tokens?

The game doesn't tell you much. Took me hours to figure out to press L1 at the beginning of races. :lol

I think the XP races are there to still at least give people who dont get all the popular votes for their creations a chance to rank up (since to my understanding you earn XP for both creating and racing). And it would be impossible to compete against people who just make licensed things and get votes that way...

They should have at least given some for the casual races.

Thanks, I was looking all the way on how to do so, most games have that as a tab and not as a button specific thing. They need to change their layout a bit, never had such problem figuring this stuff out. :lol

 

[Nymerio]

Is there any benefit for having a lot of XP? Items, or something?

It's a great track, really enjoy it. I think you could use a few more traps during turns because those are always fun to drift your way between as well as barrel traps since those act on physics and always act a little differently, a shortcut somewhere would be great (there might be one and I just missed it though), and perhaps some more up and down movement for the track in general so it doesn't feel so flat. I like how you didn't go too trap crazy though, that always seems to be the issue that people either forget them entirely or go nuts with them and make an unfun track.

 

[Liberty4all]

ok, here's my first track in the full game: Great Pyramid Complex: http://community.modnation.com/en-us/players/ArgorokX/creations/391954

Drive around or through an ancient sphinx.

Enter the ancient tomb.

Pick your poison.

Wall-ride around columns.

Find a way through a flooded chamber infested with crocs.

Can you find your way out?

.....

Edit: It's pretty dark inside the pyramid, but after a lap or two you should get the turns down.

Going to try this when I get home, looks awesome!!!!!

How long do you usually have to wait when hosting a casual game for players to join? I've tried on multiple days and I'll just sit there waiting for 10-15 minutes with only a couple people joining then immediately quitting. I suspect they quit because there's only 1-2 other people in there. But how can you get a full room if everyone keeps quitting?

i wait until 2 people then I start the next race, then when we finish the race two more people, and repeat. Thats how I usually do it, they just come and come

Here is a Career Mode guide I found for those having difficulty maybe it will help:

http://www.mnrcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?1707-Challenges-and-Grudge-Matches-Guide

Personally for me I think maybe I'm not doing the drifting right. LIke on one lap where it says you can drift through it in 4 drifts ... I have no idea how ...

 

[netguy503]

Yeah, alot of people I've seen will wait around for the the next race in my experience, though I usually wait for 4-5 to come in before I start (racing with 2 people makes this game lame). Sorry for your bad experiences. :/

 

[lsslave]

E-Peen?

No idea. Anyhow GAF, track update! I'm working hard on new one with stuff I learned. Took down old one, and am creating the most sadistic off the wall track imaginable!

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

I got Mod Nation last night. My friends and I spent six hours straight playing :lol

It's really fun. The loading is annoying, but we just used it as time to fetch additional beer.

Thanks. That seemed to work for me. As soon as I had two other players, I started a small map. Then as soon as that game ended, there were 3 more people in the lobby almost immediately.

Sands of Vera - I spent most of my time on the wall for this one. The water in the tunnels was a nice touch. Not a bad map, but not memorable either. Keep at it, bro!

Thanks for your feedback. I think the problem is that I have a different opinion on what makes a track fun (I grew up playing more realistic racing games like GT, rather than kart racing games, which might explain it). To me a short semi-realistic track that looks pretty, has great turns and balanced branches makes a fun track to race on (not saying that my maps fit that description, but that's my goal.) It's less about tons of stuff being thrown in your face, and more about just learning the little nuances of the track. Granted it is hard to make it stand out without some kind of gimmick though.

Yeah it's easy to make a character, though you'll unlock a lot more stuff through the campaign. There's a limited choice to start you off initially but being creative can mean there's more there than meets the eye.


I'm a bit disappoined in the game I think, I'm not liking it as much as I want to. Dunno how much more I'll play. Maybe it's a lack of time thing but I don't have the heart for it right now. I'm hoping it'll grow on me more.

 

[CzarTim]

Okay, my third map:

Punishment Abandoned
http://community.modnation.com/en-us/creations/420406

This one is pretty tricky, even though there are no traps save for the ones on the shortcut. There are no fences, so mind your turns. Also, it's very hilly.

crap, that's the way I ended up doing it, but I was hoping there was a way to just go through a list of what I've downloaded and vote on them as well as "heart" the creators. Kind of a convoluted way of doing it if you ask me.
