Are you up for a new challange? A compleatly different perspetive of your cities? Then this mod is for you! :D

I have made a special edition of the Audi TT. Why that car? I donno, it was on my mind. Anyway, it is a standalone version of the default TT, so that it doesn't conflict with other things. I This version allows you to see, and drive around the cities of MM2, mirrored! Simpily activate the Rear View Mirror, and you are in the mirrored version of the city! If you are playing in Multiplayer, the car will look as if it where driving normally! The only issue is the arrow on the map will be backwards... Anyway, here are a few shots...

But, naturally, this comes with some bugs. Firstly, this car was NOT designed to be driving in a non-mirrored way. If you want to, you will have to deal with backwards cameras, and you will have to invert your steering. Turn the wheel right to go left basicly. Turning the car is slightly tricky. It handles turns like the Beetle RSi, which means that is veers in the direction you are turning, after you turn for about a second. This is unavoidable. 1 more thing, the map isn't visible while driving in the mirror city.

Anyway, this is still in production. Release will come soon!

Nice, now I've got how you've done it, it's very easy. Since the sizes of the rear mirror of any car can be adjusted, you've made it so large to fit all the screen, right? Maybe there could be some viewing problems with the various screen resolutions, but it's looking good so far. So the mirror covers the hudmap, but not the hud and the top arrow in the races; the car is not visible too, of course. Yeah, another thing is that you have to invert the steering assigned keys/axis settings.
This is a genial thing to play any environment in MM2 in a new way, great! :wink: Never thought about the possibility to do a similar thing, and as I see, you're the only one that has proposed it after so long time. :)

I have tested it on all of the screen resolutions, wide and normal. It works fine. :)

I would like a few beta testers for this. I'm about done, but I'd like to see if it works for other people. Go ahead and PM me, but I'd like no more than 3. I'll post here when I have 3, so if you dont see me saying so, PM me of you wanna beta test it. :wink:


BTW, I discovered another bug. The headlights are backwards. The reason for this is because I had to flip it for it to look like it wasn't flying in reverse. I tried removing the lights, but it just crashed MM2. So, again, this is an unavoidable bug.

If wanna make HEADLIGHT object invisible move the headlight very far away, other light objects cant be just scaled to smaller ones
