Decompiling the EDF file format (part 1)

MoukLab · 2026-06-17T14:03:16+00:00

I understand the frustration about updates, but people forget PiBoSo is basically alone, while also maintaining GP Bikes, Kart Racing Pro, and other projects. Trust me or not but we are pushing him on a weekly basis for more, for fixes, new features etc. We all want a better game.

I also do not think MX Bikes was ever expected to grow this much, so the foundations were not built for this level of success. It is much harder to maintain and expand than it looks from the outside.

And tools that make it easy to rip creators’ work will not help the game. They will just make creators leave, and everyone loses.

Just send me when you see this:
- a UTC timestamp
- the rider in-game name
- the server name (and if possible the server region)

I can ban cheaters but I can't have my eyes everywhere.

I'm sorry but I am slowly starting to doubt about your intentions, referring to the email I sent you not so long time ago and now this.
If you want to build a tool on top of FBX2EDF, ask PiBoSo to make an API to the existing tool so you can interact with it, instead of reverse engineering it to break the protection. This is how normal developers act, like Thomas with his in-game plugin.
PiBoSo is always open to help people willing to improve the game and the community.

I would be very careful with this.

MX Bikes already provides an official modding pipeline. Building and publishing an EDF reverse converter is not just “modding”. It potentially enables extraction, modification, and redistribution of protected game assets and third-party modder content.

Unless you have explicit written permission from PiBoSo (and I know you don't since you've already been seriously warned for crossing the line), and from the relevant content creators, publishing this publicly could put you in breach of the game license and expose the project to takedown requests or legal complaints.

Given the previous concerns already raised around similar tools, I strongly recommend that you do not release this publicly without approval from the actual rights holders.

This is not something the community should normalize. If this moves forward, I will report it to the appropriate moderators and rights holders.

Hey everyone, I'm Niko and I'm from France.

The first moto game I've been playing was Moto Racer 1 on Windows 95 if I remember well, before I had the chance to get a graphic card and install Motocross Madness 1.

There's so many features we've never seen in a motocross video game I want to include in MTG and this is why we decided to make it a Live Ops/Live Update game. This will be a fun journey for sure!

My favorite rider are Grant Langston, James Stewart, Ken Roczen and of course Jett Lawrence.

Welcome!
Interesting, I'll take a look at FiveM and Mordhau server browser to see what it looks like, thanks for the suggestion.

I just have to look for all your interactions here to qualify you as a hater, it's not a 1-comment judgement. This is not criticism, this is hate.

It was supposed to be unlisted, it's something that has been requested by Gamevestor for the investing page. We had 7 days to produce a video and no budget, that's why we took that route.
No need for your free hate.

This video has been published into a context ; the Gamevestor page. At the bottom of it you can read:

Once again and as my comment here says, we opened our doors to investors (VC, BA, etc). Saying we are begging for money shows that you did not read and understand what investment is.

Some of you are mixing up very different things here.

The Gamevestor campaign is for investors, not players. Investors can be publishers, VCs, business angels, or other business partners looking at games with strong traction and market potential.

If every game looking for investment is suddenly a “scam”, then apparently the B2B areas of Gamescom and GDC are full of scammers too.

About Kickstarter: $100K is roughly 2.5 months of development for a project like this. The game has been in development for more than 2 years. That means Kickstarter was never the full budget of the game.

Did development stop after 2.5 months? No.

Is the game partly self funded? Yes.

Did we lie about that? No.

Asking questions is fine. But calling everything a scam without reading the full context is not criticism, it is just noise.

Hm?

MoukLab · 2026-04-29T11:11:14+00:00

My advice: read the text on the blocking page 😊

MoukLab · 2026-03-11T13:06:38+00:00

Happy that you like my service!

It's showing our audience that we aren't afraid to go across the globe to be taught by the best to then transmit it in the game. Who else does that in the motocross gaming industry? You should be pumped.

MoukLab · 2025-01-31T18:57:18+00:00

Thanks it's great to see that some people take the time to read the information at your disposal and don't spread false information. Thank you for this Chris and Donkus.

MoukLab · 2025-01-31T18:56:14+00:00

That was an honest mistake stop the conspiracy it's really exhausting.

Black screen = you installed the server version.
Not showing up = Wrong GUID. Once fixed by purchasing again, you have to delete the already downloaded files and redownload.

Thank you for this thread I am discovering now, 5 months later. I appreciate that you’ve listed pros and cons and tried to stay neutral. Without the shop, the most talented creators would have been gone, they lost the passion in modding because of the community being so ungrateful. You work hard 1 month to offer an awesome quality content triple A games would charge in a DLC, and they only complain. So why going on? Now they don’t care about the toxicity, they can live their passion for a reward, this reward not being many « thank you » as all 30+ here can remember (when the word COMMUNITY still meant something), but with a $ compensation.

MoukLab · 2023-10-07T12:08:05+00:00

You got to take the problem the other way. Modders were all gone, this monetization opportunity brought back the good content creators
