About the search thing, say I search my team name for a gear set and one set comes up is there a way to cycle through all the gear sets that match what I searched.

[mxsrider96]

I feel like a search bar would be much more effective

how exactly does the new finding maps thing works? Some of my gear now doesn't load its normal/spec map...i think it's probably just name/wrong folder issue, but since we don't have any details to the new system, its hard to fix it.

First it will try bike-model-skin_norm.png, if that fails, it goes to bike-model_norm.png. The old version would go to bike_norm.png when the skin specific map failed, which was completely wrong.

How are the maps that don't load for you named?

nevermind. can only search for the first one it finds and go from there. if i type "wood" looking for my gear it brings up the closest one and i can only go left and right using arrow keys from there. Kinda disappointed. but glad to see youre at least making it searchable kinda.

Same if i search for pala, well i have mine im making and a bunch of other ones but i get stuck with whichever the game finds first

You can search again with tab. Backspace will clear the search. Sorry, should have mentioned that in the first post.

What if i have:

2010 Pala National
Pala 2015
AWoods Pala 2015

And i search "pala" wont i always get the same one? an ideal search would give me all 3 to choose from but right now itll just bring me to one?

Same if i searched Anaheim wouldnt it bring me to whichever it finds first?

I can't seem to get the search to work though, I type and nothing happens.

Well I'm stupid, I was trying to type in the menu itself not the field box .

My bike skins appear really dark, and my gear skins have no norms and look terrible

This was the problem I saw before, and is now fixed.

If I have say a rider model named the following:

rider_body-newrider.jm

The model specific maps are then

rider_body-newrider_norm.png
rider_body-newrider_spec.png

Say I have a skin

rider_body-newrider-newskin.png

I put those in my install folder and everything is good, if I put them in a sub folder the maps don't work. BUT if I do this:

rider_body-newrider-newskin_spec.png
rider_body-newrider-newskin_norm.png

the maps then work (still in the sub-folder). Why do they work if they are skin specific in a sub-folder but not model specific?

I can't seem to get the search to work though, I type and nothing happens.

i know about this, i usually put the rider_body-newrider_norm.png directly in personal folder and kept the skins in the subfolder while working on it, it worked fine, now it doesn't

How are the maps that don't load for you named?

i have the skin in subfolder as mentioned above and i have a saf file directly in personal folder which contains maps for the model (even if i took the map from the saf), but they don't load
i tried to put the model maps in the subfolder which worked fine, as Nate said, but if i keep it directly in personal folder, it doesnt work

Simply this doesn't work and did before the update:
Personal Folder/rider_body-model.jm
Personal Folder/rider_body-model_norm.png
Personal Folder/myfolder/rider_body-model-skin.png

This didn't work before and works now (which is the reason for this update i suppose):
Personal Folder/myfolder/rider_body-model.jm
Personal Folder/myfolder/rider_body-model_norm.png
Personal Folder/myfolder/rider_body-model-skin.png

Use tab to cycle through the matches.

Personal Folder/myfolder/rider_body-model.jm
Personal Folder/myfolder/rider_body-model_norm.png
Personal Folder/myfolder/rider_body-model-skin.png

It was a bit of an accident that it worked that way. I'll make it check there too.

Sorry i didnt understand it the first time. Thank you!

haha, yeah i was kinda confused when you released this update and said previously it was looking for the stock model norm if it didn't find the correct one and yet the way i described worked. But if you can include it in the finding system now too it would be nice. that way i can keep saf with release in the personal folder and have my personalised version in a folder and don't need duplicated map

With the rider being harder to knock off when falling short distances, was that intended to decrease random falloffs in the whoops?

Yes, partially.

Changes:

• Fixed bug when finding the default normal/spec maps for bikes and gear.

Seems to have fixed the problems I was having .

Just move your mouse over for example the gear menu, you don't click on it, you just hover over it, and you type the gear you want, it will find gear with the words you typed, and it will show those words highlighted in red. This works with every little menu I think, works for the track menu.

Here's a fix for the maps in the top MXS folder but with the skins in subfolders:

Yes, partially.

Thanks for bringing that up. Is it better now?

Sooooo, I had gone back to the older snapshot, pre-suspension update because I just couldnt get to the spot I was with the new one....But, I downloaded this one and didnt change anything at all and have yet to notice a difference in suspension from this one and the old version I was running. Very happy with this so far, thanks JLV.
