MTM2.com

Hey guys...

I just registered myself into RenGames, but the thing is, I don't know what to do to play. I've downloaded rengames.exe, registered fully, and done everything. So how do I play MTM2? How would I actually open the game to play at RenGames? Take me through it.

Thanks,
EJD

PS: Anyone know if there's any Monster Jam events on there?

Halfway down the page you'll see a couple headings and under each one is a link. Like this

Social Rooms > Social Room 1
Tournament Rooms > Tournament Room 1

For general play, click the social room link and a chat area will open up. In there you'll see everybody who is available to play. The tournament room is usually used only for tournaments but can still be used at other times, if you want to be away from the crowd for any reason.

Once the chat box opens, you'll see a few things. Along the right hand side is a list of the players currently in the chat. Along the bottom is the chat itself that you can read, and at the very bottom you can type what you want to say. When you press enter then what you type can be seen by everybody. In the main part of the window are game rooms - they are little blue boxes with the numbers 1 to 8 in them. Below each is a larger number. That's just the room's number.

Anyway, for the rooms (the blue sqaures) when you click the number-one position, you are host and control when the game launches. If you click numbers 2 to 8 you are joining the host's game. In either case, your name appears and a little truck icon replaces the position number and a start button appears. When you start, another chat window opens. That is the one that will launch the game. Only the host can launch the game, and only the host will see the launch button. If you join a room that is already open, you will be prompted for something about a "bot" - just click yes and you'll enter the room.

That's basically it.

Note. If for some reason you have trouble joining a game, then you will see the host's ip address. You can launch the game manually and copy and paste the IP address to join from the multiplayer screen in the game.




At the present time, most Monster Jam events are done using instant messenger programs and direct IP play. However, I think MOD_VS will be bring some to rengames and I hope it works out well. It's an easy set up that will hopefully making running all styles of play easier.

Thanks. Are there any other racing series on RenGames that have racing/freestyle?

Check with MOD_VS, he'd be the best guy to get that sort of info from.


The MOD site http://7l.homeip.net/MOD/

Righto, I'll check with him. Thanks Phin!

www.mtm2draggers.net is where you want to go for all your Drag racing needs. From what I have seen most places like the one Phin listed is for circuit racing. Most of the dragging community hangs out at the site I listed above.

Thanks g8tor, I never thought of MTM2draggers. I've seen the Monster Jam tour on there but it seems to be falling apart, people not doing as they're told, etc. Do you think I'm worthy of joining the PPRL?

Probably not because its over

Im personally starting a league up, first race is next saturday around 9-9.30ish. There are a bunch of other leagues running. I highly recommend ProDro, CMTDR, and Monster Madness.

Hey E J D,

Im the runner of Monster Jam Tour, and no way is MJT falling apart, im on the offseason right now, and everyone seems to do what they are told most of the time. MJT i wouldnt recommend for brand new racers, because its advanced with intro plans, strict rules and more to keep everything as real as possible. If you wanna go all out like the PPRL stuff or any other league, go sign up for that. Its really fun, you will like it.

BTW, Im running a regular league called ACMTR this summer, starts June 3rd and goes till First of August, feel free to sign up for that! Just post a signup in the ACMTR topic in the Monster Jam Tour forum. Your welcome to join us and if you got any questions, feel free to ask!

I was answering his questions about rengames. I was not trying to promote one site over another. And the MOD guys are versatile. Not only do they do freestyle and circuits, they are also hosting RnR events each Wednesday. There is something there for everybody. And kpayne89, I know you guys have traditionally done chat/ip games, but you really might like to try out rengames because it's convenient and easy.

Yea i know Phineus. I would highly recommend your site for anything but I was just trying to show him the biggest dragging community in mtm2. I wasnt trying to put that site down at all, or say mtm2draggers was better.

So... is that in AM or PM? And what time would it be in English time? Does it have racing/freestyle? Keep in mind I can only do weekends, in the morning/afternoon.

Jeez, I better get to work on a Four X Force based on a stock truck...!
