Do you have copied the 3 files at the correct place?

The zip file contain 3 files located in 2 directories. You have to respect the directory structure when extracting the zip file in the Max directory...

bl4exp.evt and bl4exp.ia need to be put in the plugcfg directory of Max
bl4exp.dle need to be placed in the plugins directory of Max

If I understand you correctly, you are asking if you can use the "accelerator" from Magnetic?

If so, yes.

You have to assign the polygons smooth group 9 to make them walls, then your accelerator will work.

Just look at the track to see how its built.

Ok I will try.

The magnetoscop from Magnetic is made of lots of polygons close together, like this.

>car going this way>>>||||||||||||||||| <visible side of walls

Each polygon must be given Smoothgroup 9. This makes it act like a wall.
When the car goes through the polygons, the car gets pulled through fast.

Then give them Smoothgroup 11 to make them invisible.

See picture, hope this helps. I selected some of the polygons (red) to show the smoothgroups.

Don't forget to put the last polygon (the upper one) as road and not wall, or you will vibrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrate

continously on it and won't be able to continue the road

Really?

It seems to be working on my track just fine, and they all are set as wall polygons.

I see how this could happen, if the last polygon was horizontal like a road surface. The magnetic accelerators are all vertical polygons at the end and you exit onto the real road, or into the air.

I don't have look specially to accelerator, but when you take an horizontal polygon (really horizontal) and you apply it the 'wall' param, when you run on it, you vibrate like if you were runing on a really bad destructed road and it looks fine to use (Hal tried it on Enneade, but i was blocked several times), but when you stop on it, or run too slow, vibrating will 'erase' all grip, and you are blocked on the polygon...

If you are sure that when you are out of the accelerator, you are 'throw away' from it and fall on a real road polygon, there should be no problems, but if the car could stay on the last polygon, i'm not completely sure, but you should have some probs.

Yeah I see what you mean. I just tried it on the elevator for Parking Reverse. When you come out on top your stuck shaking like hell, LOL.

The ones in Magnetic are just like driving through a wall from the wrong side. You just pop through. Even if you just barely touch the accelerator, it picks you up and sends you through.

This is good information to know for the next track, Hehehe.

Who wanted to make a new Fallen? You take fallen, and you add horizontal 'wall' on both sides on the track... Now if you quit the road, you not only lose time, but you lose the race
