First you must know how a Spline works

Check this out

the BLUE lines of the spline tells motocross madness when your out of bounds
and then you get that count down from 5 to get back inbounds and if you dont get
back in time it will pop you back on to the Red line at the place where you went out

The RED line is the line that the A.I. (Computer Players) follow
that is how they know where the track goes
you can adjust this to make them go faster by making them take better lines

now all you have to do is ADD A NODE
A Node is kinda of like a pivot point so that the Spline can go in more than one
direction So it can follow the direction of the track instead of going straight like excitebike

When you get into the Spline section of the Editor you will be in Top View "2D"
I find that this is easier for adding a spline you may not agree
but i like to do it in 2D then go to 3D and modify it a little
to change into 3D mode push the Tab Buton on your keyboard
then move the mouse around to change where your looking
also fool with these buttons if you want to use 3D mode
Q- Up W- Forward E - Down
A - Left S - Backward D - Right
Z - Tilt Left X - Tilt Right
these buttons only work if you have 1st pushed Tab

Now you know what a spline is it is time to put one on your track
First click the Add Node button


Note: If you want to make a Funnel Start
put the FIRST NODE WHERE YOU WANT YOUR FINISH LINE TO BE

i am going to use a Flat surface for this tutorial
and i will add a Funnel Start

First add your nodes like so

Now you see where i have put that Cyan mark
that is where i have placed my FIRST NODE
That is where i want my finish line to be

I do not have a finished track it isn't connected
To connect it just push the Close Path button

that will connect your last Node and First node

When i say node i mean one of those 3 dots
i will show you a picture

This is what a Node looks like when it is Selected



Now i hope you know what a node is

Now To add a Funnel start
Click on the Node where you want the funnel to come on to the track
then click Add Funnel



and click where you want the start to be
here is what i came up with


To make your spline wider just click on the Node you want to be wider
To make the distance from to 2 BLUE nodes bigger or smaller use the
Width thingy
Mine is set at 44.3 kinda skinny track



The Height Above Terrain Doesn't change anything when you are
riding your track in the game all it does it raise and lower your Spline
cause when you have a hilly track or jumps on your track sometimes the spline will dissapear under the terrain
and you can just Raise the Height of the spline to see it

I will tell you what each of these buttons do




Ok you should already know what Add Node means
You can Add Nodes to your track to make a Spline


Now for the INSERT NODE button
this is useful in Turns and straights that are too straight
if you have a turn that has 1 node in it then it probably isn't to good of a turn
if you want to make it so your turn is more smooth just Insert a Node

To do this just Click on a Node
The New node will be placed After this one according to the Direction of your Track
Just click Insert Node and you will have a New Node


ok now the PLACE GATE button
I am skipping the Close Path button cause it is in step 2
go up to figure out what that does

to use PLACE GATE You will not be able to have a Funnel Start if you use this button
So if you dont want one just
Click on the Node where you want the start to be
and click Place Gate and that is it :) you have a Start and Finish line


Now you say you want to know how to use the DELETE NODE Button
ok all you do is Select the Node you want to Delete and press Delete Node Thats it
it will delete the node you selected and pretend you had never added it


and the DELETE ALL Button
An Alert Message will pop up when you press this button
Cause this WILL DELETE ALL OF YOUR NODES!
You will have to make your spline all over again!!
and that takes time you don't have hehehe

ok that is how that button works :)


I told you how to use the Add Funnel Button in Step 2 of this Tutorial
so i guess that will be all i can tell you in this tut :(
