- Decal spacing range is more reasonable now.
- New gradients are now centered in the screen instead of the whole map.
- Four fifties added. One for each Japanese brand. (That's four 50cc bikes folks!)
- Flywheel damper reworked to prevent jitter with light flywheels.
2011-01-28
Changes:
- Now ignores other bikes' front wheels in online collisions.
- Fixed buried wheels bug.
- Now draws front wheel and lower fork in first person view.
- Client version is now 9.
2011-01-23
Changes:
- Larger brush radius and zoom out in editor.
- Editor can now hide all decals that are different than the selected decal. (The arrows, not the actual decals.)
- Added "Copy Gradient" button.

2010-12-22
Changes:
- User specified mipmaps.
- Fast pickup now disabled when auto dab is off.
- Linux version is now compiled against Centos 5.5 libraries (glibc 2.5, xorg 1.0.3 and alsa 1.0.17) for better compatibility with older distros.
Put the first level mipmap below than main image, the 2nd level to the right of the 1st, the 3rd below the 2nd, the 4th below the 3rd and so on. If there is no more room below, which can happen in a wide aspect texture, put it to the right of the previous level. Each level has 1/2 the dimensions of the previous level.
Here are a couple of examples. 0 represents the full res texture and the higher numbers represent smaller and smaller mipmaps.

Changes:
- Disabled collision bias.

----------------------------------------
2010-9-03
Changes:
- Fixed launch to Neptune bug when reseting a time trial.
- Added new mipmap mode. Put "[mip_max_alpha]" in the png comment and the mipmaps will use the max alpha value instead of the average when downsampling.
- New billboard statue mode. When angle is over 3.25, the angle becomes the level of detail where the model will always face the viewer.
- New Y aligned statue mode. When angle is less than -2*pi, the statue will be aligned with the global Y axis.
- Smoothed out the off idle torque for all bikes.
- LOD's can now be fractional (e.g. "tree_lod7.5.jm")
- Changed the 2 stroke sound a little.
- Added "pipe2" and "pipe4" commands. These let you play with the pipe parameters. Usage is "/pipe2 <pipelength> <mufflelength> <reverbamp>". "pipe2" changes the 2 strokes and "pipe4" changes the 4 strokes. Default for pipe2 is 1.75 0.3 -0.75. Default for pipe4 is 5.0 1.0 -0.85
2010-07-21
Changes:
- When rewinding in a demo, the timing info is rewound too.
- Fixed null decal bug.
- New console command "/namedemo demoname". When the game closes the demo, it will rename it to the given name.
- Reverted the underprediction code from the last snapshot.
- Velocity reduced during online collisions. This should help the bike in front and might help slow things down when bikes intersect due to lag.
- Fixed sign error in 125 sound. (Reverb amplitude should have been negative.)
2010-07-07
Changes:
- Now correctly filters lowest resolution mipmaps for non square textures.
- Scrollback in chat console. Use Page Up and Page Down to scroll.
- Command history in chat console. Use the up and down cursor keys to go through the history.
- Chat text is now smaller and is repositioned to the right of the results.
- New command line option "--accurate-skip". This makes the scoring accurate when skipping ahead in a demo. It's disabled by default since it uses a lot of CPU.
- When you're about to be lapped, the game now draws a blue bar on the bottom of the screen with the numbers of the riders about to lap you.
- Prediction has been reduced by about 30 milliseconds in order to favor the rider in front during collisions.
2010-06-20
Changes:
- Changed conditions required for rider to fall off. Rider now comes off when he's going 31 feet/sec relative to the bike or feels 43 G of acceleration.
- Controllers get a dead zone by default. Now goes from 1/16 to 15/16 of the controller's travel instead of 0 to 1.
- Now sets GL_PACK_ALIGNMENT to 1, which may fix the screenshot problems some people had.
2010-06-14
Changes:
- Removed blackouts after crashes.
- Changed conditions required for rider to fall off. (Rider comes off when he's going 30 feet/sec relative to the bike or if he hits the ground upside down.)

----------------------------------------

The rest of the lines tell it where to load the images from. The images must have the same width, height and depth.
----------------------------------------
2009-11-06
Changes:
- Normal and specular maps.
- Added 'Skip' key - jumps ahead one second. Defaults to '/'.
The normal maps are tangent space normal maps. The tangent vectors should match the ones that Blender uses.
The specular maps should have the specular color for the RGB values and the shininess for the alpha. If the alpha is fully opaque (alpha=255) it will use the specular value from the model, otherwise, alpha=0 sets the specular exponent to 0, and alpha=254 sets the exponent to 128.
Simple!
- Update 2009-11-07:
- Don't use "half" for variable names as it is a reserved word in ATI's compiler.
Filter norm/spec maps out of the skin list.
- Don't use "half" for variable names as it is a reserved word in ATI's compiler.

- New "spy mode" lets you watch other players even if you aren't a spectator. Use /togglespy in the chat screen to activate it.
- Rider's leg position is a little different now.
- When recovering from a fall, the bike will not turn towards the next gate if the reverse button is held down.
- If you steer while backing up, the bike will be turned to match the steering.

- Increased message buffer size to prevent long skin filenames from being truncated.
2009-05-22
Changes:
- The rider now leans back a little when his chest is close to the bars.
2009-05-19
Changes:
- Unbinds framebuffer before generating mipmaps.
- Lowered multiplayer ghostout threshold from 5 seconds to 1. (This should make it easier to ride behind pumaxcs.)
- Added --glfinish command line option. If your video driver lags you by not syncing on frame swaps, this will help you.

2008-05-20
Changes:
- Fixes a memory allocation bug.
- Adds a flashy lens flare effect!
There is an example here: http://mxsimulator.com/tracks/flaretest.zip
To put a lens flare in, you add some flare elements and then set the point or vector which must be visible for the flare to show.
A flare element line has this format:
flare_element [ x y ] [ r g b ] size image
Here's an example:
flare_element [ 0.0 -1.0 ] [ 0.25 0.0 0.0 ] 1.0 @flaretest/flare.png
The coordinates [ 0.0 -1.0 ] put the flare opposite the light source. [0 0] would be the screen center, and [0 1] would put it on top of the light source.
The color [ 0.25 0.0 0.0 ] sets the flare to a dim red.
Once you have some elements set up, you can set the flare origin with either flare_vector or flare_point. Use flare_vector for an infinitely distant light source, use flare_point for a local light source. The both have the same format:
flare_vector [ x y z ]
flare_point [ x y z ]
