ThinkTanks Grand Prix - Nate's Mods

Yet another mod set from me.... haha! These are alot better, and are becoming quite a hit around the lobby.
Yes, it is the ThinkTanks Grand Prix Racing! But not your everyday racing. This is wacky, off roading, tank blasting, mine laying FUN!
For a good comparison, think of "Mario Kart" wacky tracks and powerups.

Here are some pictures of what I have done so far.

server4.uploadit.org/files2/161203-orborbminesmines33.jpgThey are still coming... now how can I pass?

server4.uploadit.org/files2/161203-orbminesb.jpgPhew! Good thing these red ones are here to save me! Wha.... KABOOM!


Hehe. I will have actual pictures of the track soon.

Welcome to Palm Isle Speedway!
This once volcanic island was founded by Grand Prix Co

Isn't that flat horizon line something? I actually think I am the first person to discover that, strange, because it's a simple concept.... :)

Anyway, you can try them out. I am hosting palm isle quite alot, and when I finish one more, I will start a cycling server.

I am only going to do lush ones for now, for visability issues, and spooky just looks dumb without fog, but, wish me luck! Wonder how the 4th one will do?

Sorry. The board isn't accepting new members. But, we will vote.

All for: .......

All against: *loud screams*

Just kidding. I actually made that company up. Just like Palm Isle Racing Resort is also a fictional thing.

Horus, you constantly bother me of how to make them, so no, I won't tell you. You are getting VERY annoying.

Alrighty! New updates have been made. When you join it now says "Welcome to TT Grand Prix", when someone joins it says "NAME has just pulled in", when someone leaves, it says "NAME is driving away." and the spam message is "FLOOD PROTECTION: Keep spam in the pit area! *SECONDS REMAINING*"

Also, please don't ask me how to do this too. I am not up to explaining at this time.

Hope you enjoy the updates I am making.
