Trackmania 2

Just saying....

cowcar1.jpg


Took me ages but I finally managed to get a cow model to show up in the game. This model is actually quite low poly but looks pretty good rendered in game. The alpha channel on the texture is totally non-shiny.

I still haven't done the UVW mapping though.

This, for me is easier than trying to attach a 2D texture to the proper car as I just don't know how it's done at the moment.
 
Seriously though.. I'm crap at the game and can't get near the speeds you reach.. Next map you're going to have to beta test it for me so I can make some of the landings better as you are clearing them by some distance! Also don't wanna make it too hard and frustrating. Need to find a good balance.

it's all about timing tbh, like that 1st jump when you land hit the handbrake straight away and keep on the gas, most of the time it's just trial and error, just send the maps my way and i will try them out.
 
Anyone else getting the black screen when trying to join a server? Just seems to time out and kicks me back to the main menu. Some other people are having the same issue but no work around.

Have forwarded all the relevant ports, but no joy...

LOL, here comes your friend the msn chatlog..... :D

(12:43) Pecker: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18500383/Croft TM Edition_rc10racer(01'07''09).Replay.Gbx [replay of a 1m07.09 time]
(12:44) Pecker: still think there is a good 1.5 sec in that time
(12:46) Pecker: cba with the track editor
(12:46) Pecker: it's never been my thing
[pecker bothers to read overclockers forum and realises ive actually done 1m06.05, not the 1m07.78 he thought, despite the fact that i'd left him a link for the lap in msn overnight]
(12:56) Pecker: meh
(12:56) Pecker: ignore me with that time
(12:57) Pecker: cba improving
(12:57) Pecker: i know i can match your time but cba to get it
:D
That also conveniently skips the 'how the hell are you doing those times' on TS too ;)


You needed my pointers and watching the replays to know where you'd find it though didnt it ;) You werent even close to the racing limit on some of the corners, yet others you were just taking better, which i knew to do, just lack the consistancy & accuracy to hit it time and time again. Whereas you hadnt quite found the optimal way through sections.
Probably the first, and last time that you'll need to listen to advice from me in the 10 or so years we've been racing in various forms :D

Only 1 corner where theres any difference in the lap really, that nasty section of downward right handers ending with the 2nd checkpoint, theres a lot of luck in getting that right so it lands pointing in the right direction for the corner without scrubbing too much speed in the process.

Track file and a replay to go off.

The replay is from validating the lap, however i noticed yet again it seems to suggest that there hasnt been a time set, which is nonsense. Infact ive done it twice, i think the first time i did it, then changed some scenery which i didnt like and 'undid' it and i think that de-validated it. So i did it again and by chance did a much better lap straight off the bat. Still i get the impression it hasnt taken any notice of it.

Its a fairly flat track, more about fast lines, using the right amount of drift through corners etc theres some jumps and drops but nothing much, its TM-lite :D I dont think theres any particularly problematic corners, just ones that take some getting used to. The overhead pic might help get an idea for the layout too. Wouldnt mind making a simplified version and using it as say a 10 lap race, something a little reminiscent of an old Atari Super Sprint style track.

Link is not a valid one.

I assume these are yours?

http://tm.mania-exchange.com/tracks...hor=rockchef&priord=2&limit=20&environments=1

Any objections by anyone if I only put on tracks made by OcUk'ers?

Kind of makes the server more unique too, you can the play all the other tracks anywhere right?

Tracks by ocuk is interesting idea, I say aye.

Peter I managed to get a 1.10.85 on your track.
You do owe me an hrs sleep and a new keyboard though :p
 
Ello :)

Just had a quick blast on the server (carrot1401), trying to get the graphics settings right (can't even max it with a 5850, wow!) and will be around tomorrow evening for some games :)
