I don't know what to say about this track...
The ramp-cork overlay looks annoying.
Btw deadline should be moved from 31st December to a few days earlier.

Sounds a lot better.
what difference does it make? If you last hive time to race on the 29th, give all-in and race that day. If you are alone on 31st, at least you have something to do :)
Stunts stutters a bit when all the cactai (plural!) are in view, near the dual-lane part. Is it happening to anyone else?
Should I tweak my dosbox settings, or could we have a version of the track with fewer poligon floating around?

Canned troubleshooting: change the number of cycles setting in DOSBox to 20000. If that causes frame rate problems, lower it to 12000 (or 10000 if your computer is really old). As for the other option, it would be up to Zak, but I believe that removing the "southernmost" rows of vegetation wouldn't affect the race.
P.S.: Below are the machine/graphics/sound part of my DOSBox .conf file, in case you want to try it (I have no stuttering, or at least it is slight enough I can't notice it).
[cpu]
cycles=20000
core=dynamic
[render]
aspect=true
scaler=hardware3x
[sdl]
windowresolution=1280x960
priority=higher,pause
output=openglnb
fullresolution=1280x1024
usescancodes=false
[mixer]
prebuffer=100

I had this on 5000 —definitely runs smoother with higher values. Switching from
scaler=normal2x to
scaler=hardware2x yield the larger improvement though.
Thanks for the pointers!
By the way, tips for noobs on this track? ;D

Max out speed before the south sloped road. It could earn you seconds.
Quote from: CTG on December 02, 2012, 04:32:04 PMDrive fast.
Actually, you are right! It makes an awful lot of sense in this track :o
Quote from: Friker on December 02, 2012, 07:55:09 PMMax out speed before the south sloped road. It could earn you seconds.
Not sure which one you are referring to, but gaining speed early and keeping the car going is very important in this track. Twenty-seconds-important, at least for me.

hmm banked was the right word. see attachment.
Expected timeline of the month:
- Friker will rule the first 10-12 days of LT period (having enough time to post replays while I'm working/sleeping)
- Then suddenly Gutix appears with a damned strong lap, leading in the following 13-15 days.
- Gutix wins (+2 LTB), Friker overtakes me and so do Bonzai Joe, Alan Rotoi + all the other "anti-CTG commando" members
I think the strategy of all the relevant pipsqueaks will be based on favoring Friker in this battle.
So it's better to declare: I don't care about the final results (or do you think I would vote for keeping the EB as it is, if I'm really interested in overall results?)
Quote from: Friker on December 02, 2012, 10:04:57 PMhmm banked was the right word. see attachment.
The most important point seems to be the loop: depending on how much speed one has when... landing it, one can travel a more straight route by jumping stuff that would slow the Skyline down. Have a lot of speed after the loop and you are almost guaranteed a high speed at the banked road.
Speed that I can then waste at the highway corner, of course :)
I like to be included on the anti CTG command, but I guess I won't participate this month :( I don't like Skyline too much (sorry to the creator)

As long as I am behind him, it is for nothing (except you pushed him below 4th place - so you, Duplode, Biker and BJ - come on! ;) ).

Or preparing for X-mas instead, like normal people do these days.
I wonder if Ayrton would be able to win this race with Speedgate or not.

What is Gate's speed limit? If somewhere around 220 it could be possible. :) 245.. why not? :)

Cause and effect
I think Friker plays the same crying game as I did during ZCT 45. It seems to be an efficient way to win a race.

But where I am? Nowhere. You know my opinion. Perhaps I'll race and I have the chance to finish in TOP5. BUT! I'll protest against this track as long as it lasts and I won't put my name on the list.

Perhaps I'll race, perhaps I won't be so crap. But now the is a minor question. The thing I want to tell is something different:
Z45 is not for Stunts. Stunts - start, accelarate, brake, curves, tricks, loops, enjoyable game. Z45 - suffering, RH, impossible to stay on the road without RH. This is simply replay editing, time wasting, pressing 'Esc' in every ten seconds. This track is CRAP - sorry Zak, but I don't want to lie. I think this is far the shittiest track I have ever seen. I don't want to hurt you, you know I liked Z44 and most of your tracks, but this one made me nervous, disappointed and sad. I hope this is the last time I feel that about a Stunts track... :?
Quote from: CTG on January 30, 2012, 06:08:18 PM
The most disgusting Stunts cry from me. And the sweetest victory against the other crymachine. ;D
It really reminds me on this... :D
And I know that you will will win, even if I push harder than expected. When somebody has the free time, the talent and the extra motivation together, he will win for sure - like I did 8 years ago.
also you are getting old xD
I have to say it's quite a good track - with a terrible (okay, only weak mediorce) car.
Good news for Friker: I won't be here in the next 4 days. And probably in the last 2 days of the year.
you leave coward!

Nope, but visiting my family seems to be a little bit more important (I won't carry my notebook, having too many packages with the X-mas gifts). 30th/31st December - probably leaving Budapest to have a less loud New Year party.

What is good about these news? I can tell you my final time now, I know how much I can improve (It is for sure I will finish behind you :-/). Even if I could I probably will not race at 30th or 31st.. We could send our final replays before quiet days and finish this year in peace. :)
Then tell me your final time now. Of course in PM. ;D

If it's really your final time, we have a draw. Quite funny after ZCT 136. :D

F*ck NO.. I have a strong urge to drive that 0.05 better :-/
:) I think draw twice in-a-row is funnier than triple draw (if you mean Zólyom race).

It was a mistake by will, I wanted to know if you write Zólyom or Zvolen. ;D :P
Btw don't act like a primadonna, you have 4 seconds better in the pocket.
Or 10.
Annual subforum for season 2013?
Yeah, I'm weak. I couldn't stand more than 3 days without Stunts. Car editing in progress.
(And yes, I'm drunk.)
Yeah ! New subforum!!! :D

Duplode, why are you watching this topic? :P
Something like this... Half an hour ago I was having a glance at the track previews at ZakStunts' "Tracks" page. While there, I found it odd to see myself ranked third on the Z131 podium, so I clicked the results link. Doing so reminded me I was joint second alongside Gutix on that race. However, I was stuck by the track name, and checked Wikipedia to see whether it was an actual place name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colmar-Berg). Once doing so, I went to the race topic to see if there was any mention of that in the race thread. Being in the 2012 archives, I ended up opening a few other topics due to reflexive Wikipedia-esque browsing habits. And so I momentarily was at the Z137 topic right when you was peeping at Who's Online...
