SOOOOOO, here's the dilleo. I thought up this map the other day at work, and scribbled it on some paper. Its in its early stages of production and I would appreciate some input. First off, its a race tack, so any advice on programming the game to do checkpoints would be awesome!

REd is racetrack
blue is boosters
yellow is trees/obstacles
brown is rocks
l. Blue is water

Also: I dont know why the site I uploaded these on screwed up the colors.

All thoughts are welcome, though, good ones are appreciated, and mean ones are immediatly pooped on.

Now if you could put those marks in a mod, that would be awesome XD.

But, seriously, a mod isn't based on the people's desicions, it is based on the modders opinion and imagination. For example, look at rollerball. No one demanded it be made, but is still a big hit because the scriptor, skinners, and modders involved did a bang up job with it.

I think its great! Just get rid of those marks! Lol j/k put some objects in it, and I would play on it! B)

Yeah, that looks REAL cool. Remember to disable all bullets so it's a fair race. Can't wait till you're done.

MAKE IT GOOD!!!!!! WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAN I WOULD LIKE TO RACE ON IT!!!!! DID U USE THE TGE? I HAVE THE TGED (TORQUE GAME ENGINE DEMO)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

That's a little, over the line. What are you? 8? And, nobody appreciates posts in 'all-caps' or 30 smileys at the end (yes I did count)

OH thank god someone like ^ is around!

Anyway, the mod does look good, but you can't just add water. There is only one shape that does that, and it's way too big. Anyway, you will just have to take a terrain and go over that so it looks like water.

Thanks guys! NEW PICS, NEW CHANGES. The track is almost 2X as long as I originally thought, but it's gonna be much MUCH better than I thought too. Progress is slow kiddies so keep checking back.

Latest track details and direction

ALSO: anybody got some info on the programming for this bugger? I don't even know where to start!

Or you could fill that area with fog.

Just a tip: Make sure the track is very smooth, otherwise there will be tanks bouncing around all over the place.

EDIT: I just saw your posts Cardinal. SCratch that thing about the fog. Also, you really don't NEED any scripting for a racing mod. However, it would be nice to have:
Checkpoints
A timer

Ask CannedSplam about these, I think they're really easy to make.

Ya, I know about that bouncy issue, and I've tried to make it part of the map:

Blue is fast/flat
yellow is fast/bouncy
red is slow/bouncy

And I INTENDED it to be this way.
Shadows!

If you add fog, it will take a few holes out for you...although, it is your mod ;)

^^^ I made a script for my racing mod... Its like when you go through the fininsh line it gives you a point, then it kills you and respawns you to the start again... B)

Um...That's already been done, and I doubt you "made" it.

Looks coming pretty nice... Have you yet tried playing it on thinktanks? That's important, to see if the track and terrain feels good to drive and race.

The water is not necessary, but if you want to get "water look" you gotta lower some of the areas lower than the other areas are. And then raise fog level so it feels the lowest holes and change the color of fog to some more water looking(also you could use water texture around the holes)

Keep the work up.

^^ This is getting very annoying having all these people thinking that I didnt make it! I did! But I didnt know it has already been done... Oh well :S

Save it for your own posts ok, we don't need to get into that stuff here, I've already got in contact w/Splam and he's agreed to help me out with the scripting. So this map is going to be sweet with his help.

Hey I'm not 8!!!! Im 10!!!!! And im new to ptt and I hav no clu whats bad or good! I dont even know what spammin is!!! Or bumping!!!!!! Just give me a break!!!!!! XO

^ can be called flaming..
I bet you don't know what that is either!
