MX vs ATV .trn files (PC)

Timmay · Post by **Timmay** » Fri Apr 28, 2006 6:42 pm

This applies to MvA and MXU. From what we can tell, .trn files are another compressed file. If we could open this file it would lead to great things with this game. It would be much appreciated if you could get a plugin working for this file

I cant attached a .trn file for you the file size is too big

if you want a copy let me know ill send u one.

Cheers

Tim.

Hey guys, I believe the .trn files have at least 3 files in there, a height map, texture map and a friction map.

Here's a file for you to look at:

THIS FILE NEEDS TO BE LEFT ALONE! will lead to nothing but stealing tracks. Why would you even want in those? Only reason would be stealing. We already have enough guys ripping stuff off. As far as I know Bruce is the only one that can do this (and only in mcm) ..but Bruce is a guy that can be trusted, Hes one of the most old school dudes in mcm community.

Only the guys i ride online with will have my tracks.

No it's not. Don't forget that there are a lot people at this forum who haven't even heard of MX/MCM/ATV and the like. Enlighten those (including me, because I too have no idea what's the problem here).

Yeah.. my bad.. my message was targeted to those that are comin here for mcm/mxvsatv info. (Clint-Ghetto_cR)

i didnt think their was a problem till i got the "what the hell" comment from a mod. thought that was a little uncalled for.

The trn file stores. a few files that i feel (and i know im not the only) dont need to be opened by anyone other then the files creator. Both the displacement (height map) and the terrain textures (dont really care if people can get that out) are in that file.

the MCM community has already been through the people stealing others skins and objects and claiming them as their own ( i never had this problem since i dont make skins or objects) but i saw what it did to the people that were effected. I just dont want to see the same thing happen with the actual tracks. Many track creators have spent alot of time developing their tracks and i know that many of them dont want their tracks being peiced together in someone else's track. I think it has the chance to drive away whats left of the good content creators for the game.

So, you come to the XeNTaX forums, actively participate in extracting other types of files, but now that your own content gets semi-exposed, you 'feel' that people shouldn't do that. How's that for a double standard?

We're not going to give special treatment to members who have certain feelings about certain files. You don't get to decide which files are examined or not, and you certainly don't get to play police officer about it.

And just to make one thing clear: we don't condone or encourage plagiarism. There isn't much we can do about it though, so I would suggest you follow your own advice and stop exposing your content to the internet.

come on guys, dont argue. i think if an issue needs to be addressed it should be addressed in a way that can help both sides understand the issue at hand.
I think smokn was saying something that would be good for mva community, but we need to be able to explain it to the extremely helpful folks here why that is. I think smokn wasnt so worried about his own content being exposed, but anyone who has created a user map. On the other hand however, bringing up Captains side, if someone wants to ask for help on a file, whos to say that he cant have access to it. So, i feel that people should be open about what they find.
thanks for being so helpful btw guys! you guys rock!

Are you always a jerk Captian? Jesus dude. Can we not voice our opinions here?

Darkfox · Post by **Darkfox** » Fri May 05, 2006 7:04 pm

I don't see a point in fighting over a game. O_o... This can only lead to flaming, and possibly already has.

Edit: Though if it is just a track file, then what could you do with it?

Whatever the issue, what we don't do here is calling each other names, ocr_smokngrn. Consider this a warning.

It appears that you are spilling rivality from the MCM community onto the XeNTaX board. We have nothing to do with your community, nor do we wish to take side in any feuds within that community.

People who steal stuff will always exist. They are laughed at by the world. If someone created something new, he should spread this in his community for all to see. Then all will know who it was that created it and thiefs will easily be exposed.

That said, if some one wants to know what this .TRN format is all about, we're here to see if we can help out.

He's right, it's just like art and all that. I had problems with people stealing sprites from a friend of mine, but we were able to expose him and won the little conflict.
