File #1000!

Today marks a nice milestone in the site as the thousandth file was added to our Midtown Madness collection. That file is Wild Town, a map created by Ilpo Kivesmaki in late 2001.
And we're nowhere near finished, we still have plenty of files we need to add...
The reason the file id is 1047 instead of 1000 is because we have deleted a few duplicate files and illegal converts over the last few years, messing up the ID continuity. |

Hop over here to read it. Oh, and for you DWAIN fans, yes, I'm working on some new ones, I just don't know when they will be done, I lost a whole bunch of stuff in a reformat

Um, two and a half months ago this site was officially online for a year. And the collection itself started way before then, in September of 2006.
Incase you care. |

SlideGamers Closes Its Doors

SlideGamers, since its opening in 2006, was a stable replacement for the MS Zone (The Zone shut down the same year SG opened) when it came to MM2 multiplayer. However, without warning, SlideGamers shut down its website earlier this month.
SG was expecting to merge with another site, the World Gaming Center; it does support MM2 Multiplayer.
IGZones also exists as an alternative multiplayer system for Midtown Madness 1 and Midtown Madness 2. |

Today I updated a crucial part of our site's back-end. PHP, the script engine that this entire site runs on, has just been updated from PHP 4 to PHP 5. This is a major step upward and consequentially there may be some incompatibility problems in the new scripts. If you happen to encounter any, please send me a message via the forum system or just email me: gafaddict@gmail.com. I appreciate everyone's help here... |

Classic Madness & the HQTM-Team

All good things must come to an end, even in the online world. For us in the MM community this is easily proven through both some happy and sad news that came out today.
The happy news, even, is bittersweet—Classic Madness has been released, albeit not in its complete form. Its author, the group HQTM-Team, has decided that the project was too big an undertaking for a small group of only 4 to create. And let’s be honest, it was ambitious… the mod consisted of 20+ scratch made cars, two huge cities, the creation of snow in the game, and even more. So what they decided to do, rather than just abandon the project completely, is release what they’ve completed so far of the project. They will also be releasing an uncompiled version of the mod so, if anybody else wishes to get together and finish the project, they will have the materials to.
Though it was worth the wait, there still comes more news with the release of Classic Madness. The HQTM-Team has also decided that they are going to dissolve their group and no longer make any more content for MM2. As they say, it was originally a hobby of theirs that they simply lost interest in. Their website and forum will remain open, the only thing that stopping is the creation of content.
Well, what can you say? What HQTM has left behind is a great and extensive collection of high-quality vehicles and mods for the game… their dedication to such an old game is truly astounding.
You might find the HQTM-Team’s server being somewhat slow, so if you want an alternative source, you can get it from us from our our own server. |

It's a little early, but I'm going to be leaving the state to see family in a few hours so... here's an early Christmas present for you guys. I've finally gone through the collection of files Rick Vansloneker gave to me earlier in the year, and I now finally have all the MM1 cars he gave us on MMArchive.
I think it's safe to say we have the most complete database of MM1 files of any site still online. We're not done yet though--cities and mods to come.
May you and all your families enjoy the holiday season and get through to the new year! |

Took the weekend out to get pretty much every novelty car (by which I mean the fun ones) for Midtown Madness 2 onto the archive. They do not have any screenshots or information other than their names in there, but they are available for download. Browse away to your amusement, you'll probably find some interesting ones you didn't know existed or thought were wiped off the face of the internet.
All of these files come from the collection of Rick Vansloneker, who was the file manager for the MM series for CentralGaming before it closed. He has been kind enough to his entire collection to us, and we are slowly but surely getting them all on here.
At the moment I'm working with getting the MM1 novelty cars in, not sure when that will be done. |

Shader Mod 2 is out!

Normally we don't consider releases of addons to the MM2 world newsworthy, since there are so many of them. But this one has been in the works for quite a while and has been highly anticipated for that time. It is the Shader Mod 2 from our friends over at MM2BR.
A good number of people on the team worked on the mod, and it is everything is promised to me. Of particular note is the skies, which have been made particularly nice, complimenting perfectly the new shades and textures applied to various vehicles.
There are two versions of the file released: a full version, nearly 50 MB in size, but revamps the game entirely. There is also a lite version that includes only the basics of the mod, leaving out the extra stuff. It is much smaller, only 8 MB, and works better on older computers. Make your choice and give it a try. |
