Hi,
I might have a track from my early days in 4ds-driving to submit. If possible could take the October's track submission.  :)

Quote from: Overdrijf on March 07, 2023, 05:37:40 AMClever, fixes half of the flicker too. Even if the look-through effect was very cool.

Yes, that was the first intention... :'(  But, it's for the good functioning of replay handling controls.  :)

In order to fix a glitch (as mentioned by Argammon's post) that affects game's replay control presentation, I'd to change a little bit the position of the side mirrors part on car's dashboard in order to lift the non opaque part it.

So I've modified STDAZMP4.VSH file and released a new version 1.1 of McLaren Honda MP4/4 car. (It should be OK to use in competition since no changes were made in RES file)

As you know, fiddling with the mechanics of the game isn't my strong point so I am here asking for your help.  8)
Is anyone able to fix the MCLaren before it becomes a competitive car in the coming month?  :)

The glitches really take away some of the fun racing with it.



Hello Argammon,

Are you referring those glitches to funcionning of rev counter in McLaren MP4/4 dashboard?

If yes, unfortunately it's a consequence of the position of de rev counter on the outside of the steering wheel...

Well, I already joined, so you must be talking to yourself again.
I bet it's zapper,  8)

..and then you were right Daniel3D ;)
After some past experience on giving some hints and work in colaboration some of these steps with KyLie and Ryoma, and the invitation from Overdrijf, I'm here to participate in the following steps:

4 - Base performance
5 - Engine and gearbox
6 - Base dashboard image

For the video part I have no experience, but if necessary I hope to find someone in this community car project to make the video. I will provide screenshots and notes as a guide.

Quote from: dreadnaut on February 12, 2023, 12:40:17 AM@Zapper, you sent two replays with the same time—your best time!—and ZakStunts can't deal with that ;D

I've removed the second you posted from the scoreboard, but I'm attaching it here
Hi @dreadnaut, I was in doubt of what file I had submitted, so I'm guilt in causing confusion ZakStunts.  ::)

Quote from: alanrotoi on January 17, 2023, 04:36:48 AMJust a reminder: real top speed of mclaren honda is not 212 mph it's about 229 mph. It needs a test.

From my tests, it reaches 218 mph (stable and almost at rev limiter) after any considerable jump.
So, 218 mph real top speed, 212 mph flat track top speed (without any preceding jump).

If you agree, I'll edit and correct this on wiki's article.

Plus Argammon.

Proposed teamname: Zaptic Shortamon.
It's an electric type from gen 12.
He would lose grip on dirty for sure, because ground is super-effective on it... 😂

Unless, like Zapdos, it has flying as second type... 😏

Hello, sorry you all for my late pronounce on this subject.

I am glad for all your encouraging attempts in order to make me consider to be part of a ZakStunts competition team, but for now I wish to stick as a solo competitor, I like to learn by my self the tricks and skills to become better driver in Stunts without compromise (I already know that it's a hard challenge).

Also, like Daniel3D stated, I have some other Stunt's non-competition plans. My time in next season should be spend more on custom car projects that I previously wanted to accomplish ;)

Hi alanrotoi,

The in-game car specs normally sticks the original (real) car or car's top speed no horizontal flat road.
I think that top speed at top gear and rev limit speed is just a indicator for specific running condition in Stunts.
If it's general consensus question "Real top speed" information could be changed in wiki car article to something like "Max speed on rev limit in top gear".

(meanwhile Caterham's wiki page and List of custom cars page is being updated)

@zapper. You know, I think, more than most of us about how the game processes the sound files. Can you lower the tone of SKI2 so that it is more of a rumble?

@Daniel3D, here you have the file (based on ADENG1.VCE you post before) with a lower tone grass skid sound.
