StepUp2 SX Addon Plugin for
Microsoft® Motocross Madness

Installation instructions:

This plugin requires the full version of Microsoft® Motocross Madness with the track editor and the StepUp 2 plugin installed.

  1. Unzip Stepup2sx.zip into your TrakEdit directory. It is located in the directory that MCM was installed into. If you installed MCM into D:\MCM than the TrakEdit directory is D:\MCM\trakedit. After it is unzipped the following files are installed:

    1. trakedit\plugins\stepup2sx.ini - Plugin INI file
    2. trakedit\plugins\stepup2sx\*.* - All the data files for the plugin
    3. trakedit\tracks\*.trk - Several tracks included with this plugin. Detail below.

  2. Edit your plugins.ini in the trakedit\plugins directory:

    Sample contents:

    [Plugins]
    TotalConstructionSets=2
    Set_1=classic
    Set_2=stepup2


    To add the StepUp2SX addon:


    1. Add one to the number of Total Construction Sets that you have.
    2. Change the TotalConstructionSets line so that it is set to the new number computed above.
    3. Add a Set_X=stepup2sx line to the end of the [Plugins] section. Where X is replaced by the number computed in step A.
    4. Note: There is a limit of 10 with the current track editor. If you have more you can comment out the ones you use least and just keep the 10 most used. What I do is have several Set_10 lines in my INI. To comment them out just but a ; as the first character in the line.

      Set_10=hilval
      ;Set_10=TestStepUp2
      ;Set_10=TestStepUp


      I just uncomment the Set_10 plugin that I want to use. It's a hassle but there is no way around the 10 plugin limit.



    Here is the same example with the StepUp2SX addon added.

    Example 1:

    [Plugins]
    TotalConstructionSets=3
    Set_1=classic
    Set_2=stepup2
    Set_3=stepup2sx


  3. You are now ready to use the Track Editor. Select New Track from the File Menu and then select Step-Up 2 SX.

Tracks:

I have included one track with StepUp2SX

  1. SU2SX - Test Track -- Track created to test all the new pieces.

Here is a table containing all the pieces in STepUp2 SX. StepUp2 SX is designed to add a few more pieces for making SX tracks at the expense of some level 3 and level 4 pieces. I also have an addon called StepUp2Nat that will give more pieces for making tracks with level 3 and level 4 pieces at the expense of some of the level 1 SX pieces. This will be released sometime in November with the Twisted DIRT textures.

The asterisk in the Chg column signifies where this addon differs from StepUp2.

Detailed Description


(1) Default Terrain (Lev 1)

Standard classic default terrain


(2 NW) Straight

Standard classic straight


(2 SE) Straight (Lev 2)

Standard classic straight moved to level 2


(3 NW) Big Mound

A symmetrical mound positioned in the center of the track piece and is a smaller verion of the mound in StepUp. It is smaller than a big jump but bigger than a small jump.


(3 SE) Small Mound

A symmetrical mound positioned in the center of the track piece and is a much smaller verion of the mound in StepUp. It is smaller than the Small Jump.


(4 NW) Monster Jump (M)

A jump that is the height of the StepUp Monster jump but has been positioned into the center of the track piece. Both the up and down ramps are symmetrical.


(4 SE) Big Jump

A jump that is the height of the classic big jump but has been positioned into the center of the track piece. Both the up and down ramps are symmetrical.


(5) Sloped Whoops (Lev 2)

This is a new StepUp2SX piece. It is a modified level 1 Sloped Whoops. This piece is a monster whoop piece angled so that it goes from the level 2 height to the level 3 height. Use this as a transition to level 3 or back to back to create a pyramid.

(6 NE) BigMonster Saddle (BM)

This piece is a new connecting piece. Use it between a Big edge piece and a Monster edge piece (BE, MB, BM, and BB). This is a small dip that when combined with two edge pieces makes a saddle shaped jump. This piece shares the same track editor icon with the MonsterBig Saddle (MB). North and East are the BM pieces and West and South are the MB pieces.

(6 WS) BigMonster Saddle (BM)

This piece is a new connecting piece. Use it between a Big edge piece and a Monster edge piece (BE, MB, BM, and BB). This is a small dip that when combined with two edge pieces makes a saddle shaped jump. This piece shares the same track editor icon with the MonsterBig Saddle (MB). North and East are the BM pieces and West and South are the MB pieces.

(7) Sloped Whoops

This piece is a monster whoop piece angled so that it goes from the level 1 height to the level 2 height. Use this as a transition to level 2 or back to back to create a pyramid.

(8) 90 degree berm

A monster turn based on the Classic 90 degree turn. The banking has been made bigger to make it more useful for turning.

(9) 180 degree berm - left

A monster turn based on the Classic 180 degree turn. The banking has been made bigger to make it more like Supercross.

(10) 180 degree berm - right

A monster turn based on the Classic 180 degree turn. The banking has been made bigger to make it more like Supercross.

(11 NW) Monster Saddle (MS)

This piece is a new connecting piece. Use it between two other Monster pieces that have a Monster piece on the edge (monster table top, ME, MB, BM, and MM). This is a small dip that when combined with two ME pieces makes a saddle shaped jump. This piece shares the same track editor icon with the Big Saddle (BS). North and West are the monster pieces and South and East are the Big pieces.

(11 SE) Big Saddle (BS)

This piece is a new connecting piece. Use it between two other Big pieces that have a Big piece on the edge (BE, MB, BM, and BB). This is a small dip that when combined with two BE pieces makes a saddle shaped jump. This piece shares the same track editor icon with the Monster Saddle (MS). North and West are the monster pieces and South and East are the Big pieces.

(12 StepUp2) Start/Finish

This is the start/finish line mound piece. Use in combination with a monster piece that is on the edge (ME, MM, MB, MS, Table Top, etc).

(13) Blocker (Lev 1)

Standard classic blocker with some special advertising.

(14) Big Jump Edge (BE)

This is the beginning piece in a series of big jumps. This is a Big Jump shifted so that the highest point of the jump is directly on the edge of the track piece. This allows it to be placed back to back with other pieces without that nasty gap to fall into. This style of piece also allows several different timings for the same style of jump. This can be done with both the Big jump and the Monster jump. 
	Example:

	Symbols:

	_B_  - Big Jump
	__B  - Big Jump on Edge (BE)

	Given the above symbols the following jump combinations can
	be created with 3 different timings.  Back to back B's are
	one jump.

	#1  #2  #3  #4  #5  #6      6 Track pieces
	--- --- --- --- --- ---	    --------------
	_B_ _B_ _B_ _B_ _B_ _B_	    6 closely spaced jumps

	__B B__ _B_ __B B__ _B_	    4 evenly spaced jumps farther apart

	__B B__ __B B__ __B B__     3 equally spaced jumps even farther

	__B B__ _B_ _B_ __B B__     4 jumps unevenly spaced.  Use your imagination.

	_B_ __B B__ _B_ gives you 3 consecutive evenly spaced jumps
	across 5 track pieces with each jump have a nice down ramp to
	land on. This would take 6 track pieces with the Classic plugin
	and each of the 3 jumps would have a nasty place to fall into.

	This may seem complicated, but it will become easy after you play
	with it and see it for yourself.


(15) Monster Jump Edge (ME)

This is the beginning piece in a series of Monster jumps. This is a Monster Jump shifted so that the highest point of the jump is directly on the edge of the track piece. This allows it to be placed back to back with other pieces without that nasty gap to fall into. This style of piece also allows several different timings for the same style of jump. This can be done with both the Big jump and the Monster jump.

The example above applies to this piece also.

(16 NW) Monster Jump Both Edges (MM)

This is a connecting piece. It is a Monster jump on both edges. if __M is an ME piece than M_M would be the symbol for this piece.

Use in combination with other monster edge pieces. 
	Typical use:

	__M - Monster Edge (ME)
	M_M - Monster Both Edges (MM)

	#1  #2  #3     3 Track pieces
	--- --- ---
	__M M_M M__

	In combination with the saddle piece (MS) from above.

	S_S - Monster Saddle (MS)

	#1  #2  #3  #4  #5     5 Track pieces
	--- --- --- --- ---
	__M M_M S_S M_M M__

	This piece shares the same track editor icon with the Big Jump
	both edges piece (BB).  North and West are the Monster pieces
	and South and East are the Big pieces.


(16 SE) Big Jump Both Edges (BB)

This is a connecting piece. It is a Big jump on both edges. if __B is a BE piece than B_B would be the symbol for this piece.

Use in combination with other big edge pieces. 
	Typical use:

	__B - Big Edge (BE)
	B_B - Big Both Edges (BB)

	#1  #2  #3     3 Track pieces
	--- --- ---
	__B B_B B__

	In combination with the saddle piece (BS) from above.

	s_s - Big Saddle (BS)

	#1	#2	#3	#4	#5		5 Track pieces
	--- --- --- --- --- 	--------------
	__B B_B s_s B_B B__

	This piece shares the same track editor icon with the Monster Jump
	both edges piece (MM).  North and West are the Monster pieces
	and South and East are the Big pieces.


(17) Monster Table Top (M)

A monster version of the classic table top. It is the same height as the other Monster pieces so a complete table top can be made by either putting two of these back to back or by putting an ME piece on the other end for a short table top.

Use this piece as a transition to level 2 all the level 2 pieces can be used with this as well as the other Monster edge pieces. The number of combinations is unbelievable.

(18) 45 degree Straight

This pieces allow you to cut across the grid at a 45 degree angle. Use this to simulate crossing the start area as most Supercross tracks do. There are no 45 degree jumps. I have been putting a mound and a turn at the end to force everybody to slow. This piece works with all straight pieces and the turns.

(19) Zipper whoops (Z)

These were suggested by Heiko Kurbach from Germany. They are alternating left and right side whoops. 

----

	They can be placed one after the other for the following
	combination.

This is a new StepUp2SX piece. It is bigger then the monster whoops. It has a different timing of only 1 and half jumps per SX track piece. Two of these need to be put back to back with the light brown edges touching.

(22) Big Landing ramp

Standard classic Big landing ramp.

(23) Angled Mound (A)

Variation of the StepUp Mound. It's smaller and slopes down to the side, so that it is smaller on one side than the other. It can be used in an alternating pattern to create an uneven series of jumps.

(24) Half jump (H)

This is a StepUP2 big jump with one side flattened out level. This piece has a jump on the right side (north). Because it is symmetrical just flip around to have the jump on the left. Use this piece to provide for different lines

(25) Dual Jump (D)

Modified StepUp Dual jump. There are different size jumps on each side. Use this piece to provide for different lines. This piece is also symmetrical so it can be used in the reverse direction so that the bigger jump is on the right.

(26) StairStep (ST)

This is a simple stairstep. Use back to back to make a small pyramid. Use in combination with the other Monster pieces.

(27 NE) Sloped Straight(BM)

This is a small dip that when combined with two edge pieces makes a saddle shaped jump. This piece shares the same track editor icon with the UltraMonster Saddle (UM). North and East are the MU pieces and West and South are the UM pieces.

(30 SE) Ultra Monster Saddle

This is a new StepUp2SX piece. This piece is a connecting piece. Use it between a level 3 piece and a Monster edge. This is a small dip that when combined with two edge pieces makes a saddle shaped jump. This piece shares the same track editor icon with the MonsterUltra Saddle (UM).

(31) Deep Whoops

This is a new StepUp2SX piece. It is bigger then the monster whoops. It has a different timing of only 1 and half jumps per SX track piece. Two of these need to be put back to back with the light brown edges touching.

(32 NW) Monster Saddle (MS) (Lev 2)

This is a new StepUp2 SX piece. It is a level 1 MS piece moved to level 2. This piece is a connecting piece.

StepUp2 Big Mound moved to level 3.

(35 NW) Monster Camel

This is a new StepUp2SX piece. It is a hump backed piece that lets you turn level 1 edge pieces into a camel back jump. I'm not too happy with this piece because I could never come up with a shape that would let it work symmetrically with all the other pieces. In order to have enough room to have this piece on level 1 and level 2 I had to compromise. In some positions there will not be a smooth transition to this piece like the saddle piece does.
