| First of all ... |
| ... I would like to thanks a lot the long and hard work made by the following guys... Zo0N KitChen 2 could never have been what it is without their fantastic and pro rendered 3D models created from blank. I want also to congratulate the MTMG Team and Phineus for this contest and the help Thanx buds ! ZK2 is only a "bonus track" on the EXPO 2003 contest, since I'm participating to the judge's team... (more details at bottom...) |

This list represent 92 differents models used at 541 differents places (MTM2 can't support more scenary objects

Some objects of ZK1 has been removed to increase the FPS in game and reduce the memory swapping to have less lag as possible.
I'm using an AMD 800Mhz with GeForce2 MX and all is perfect even when I'm using full screen anti-aliasing
If you have one or more giga Hz processor and a Radeon or GeFX, you willn't care at all about FPS on MTM2

| Sounds and race: |
| All sound effects has been improved to be hear in race. Because MTM2 have a sound volume problem with normal sounds. Some of the old ZK1 sounds has been used on ZK2 and has been choosed by : InterPaul, Toxin and me. I have worked on the new ZK2 sounds FX with the great Cool Edit Pro. Don't forget to turn on the music on game! This looping "music" (there's only sound FX) is really usefull: It use exactly 2 minutes before looping. So, while racing, you can know if you're too late of if you have a good time, hearing the dog, the bell-tower, the cock, the giant truck, etc, depending of the place you heard them at last lap... 2 minutes is a good lap time. ( my personal record: 1:57:70 ) |

| FILES and DETAILS |
| ZK2 is again a long and hard work... The needed files, including sometime several versions of the same objects ( and models, textures, sounds, etc. ) represent more than 93Mb ! ZK2 use the maximum of some MTM2 features: -- 2048 Ground boxes (-= full =-) -- 541 Scenary objects (-= full =-) -- 10 Ramp objects (-= full =-) -- etc.. |

| TIPS: |
| If you experience too more lag on game, it is perhaps because you're racing with a lot of custom truck. Those trucks are using a lot of textures (256x256) and ZK2 use also a lot of textures... that's why. You can (1) reduce the opponents number ... and (2) if the lag isn't fixed yet, you can select stock trucks before launching the game. |

| Unfinished work: |
| The computer racing is really bad on ZK2 ... First because some parts aren't raced like human racers can do them (For example the computer's truck don't care about the sofa and don't race on it...). Secondly because I'haven't enough time to fix them, since I've reached the dead line of the contest... Don't expect to race the computer, some time his is very stupid |

| 3D Creators: |
| I would also want to greets Legwon for his model. He tried to work on an animated sofa. It was impossible to use it on the track, because of a collidable problem... Thanks anyway guy PICTURE1 PICTURE2 PICTURE3 |
