Title: Track Editor
Post by: Looger on December 10, 2006, 10:21:26 AM
Hi guys, I looked in my archives for games because I don't know what to play, and now it happened... My real big love to stunts is reborn :D

So, I started to drive and to design a few tracks. But I got one problem, there are stupid limitations in the track editor (e.g. you cant do: bridge - free square - free square - bridge, because only one free square is allowed). Is there any way to avoid this?

Greetings Looger

no, unfortunately there is only one free space allowed between the two ends of the bridge.
Download Track Blaster from my site - it's an external editor, slightly more complicated but no that hard - it allows you some nice features, like building track on water - but still only one square between bridges :(

You can do 2 squares between a bridge if you do a fake track this way :

If the beginning is long enough and you get to power gear, you can even do 3! What a flight, big fun! :)

I remember a really big jump in one of your tracks, JTK...

Thx for the hint! Even the solution with the fake track isn't perfect...

Thanks. ;)
Give a try at the USC track of December to see a sample of what can be done with the game bugs and an external track editor. ;D

I very much recommend Krys' "Tata" for USC. It's so much fun to race Stunts in a new way after all these years...

Many thanks Jacky. ;)
And with the Stunts Career project you'll discover another way to do Stunts racing : the adventure/RPG way. 8)

The simplest way of building a larger jump is of course making a mountain...

Sure, and combined with powergear you'll get a maxi jump. ;)

Thanks. By the way, what's a good host to store tracks to post here? I'dd like to share one, I'm crashing all the time on it (especially with the formula 1 car), there are now two times on it, a pretty old time of 4 min with the Jaguar and a new one of 5 minutes with a huge loss of time in one corner with the AUDI rally car, which is really strange because it's a super fast track, no normal corners and stuff. So I wonder what you guys make of it. Maybe 2.5 minutes or so...

You can add your tracks on your post in one zip as a file attached, that could be the easiest way. ;)

Ok?, you can attack files on this board...
Thanks.

3.45 with the JAG, it really crashes less...

NoRH try (with numerous mistakes and car slow down) made with manual gears and without sound at my job (damn, Win XP make the game run jerkly) after some track learning attemps.
I only cut some loops, no other big shortcuts.
Replay attached.
edit : I forgot to tell : my time is 3'22"xx (don't remember exactly and I can't open Stunts as my colleagues are back from lunch and I'm not supposed to have any game installed on this computer ;D)

Replay handling. When you rewind the replay to avoid a crash and continue.

I have some nice videos about it. Check YouTube (http://www.youtube.com) and search for user MasterCTG. :)

noRH is real racing. RH racing is search for optimum and maximized replay.
Once you know all the game tricks and possibilities with RH, you can do it racing noRH.
For example, I used the loop cut bug 3 times without RH at your JO track Overdrijf. ;)

You cut 3 loops (going under the right side) in one noRH race? That's nice luck, or a secret skill :)

Oooops ! After re-watching my replay, I have to admit that I cut only 2 loops this way, not 3.
I just had luck and enough speed. I don't need any pills. :P Doing loop cuts this way with Jag and enough speed is easy in noRH because Jag handling is precise and good.
One thing I can do easily in noRH too is boulevard entrance jump. I did it more than once during WSM in Aarhus Jacky, you where there to see it.

I made a dozen attempts, mainly with RH, in order to learn the track before making this noRH lap.
This track is not difficult, it's just that I lost a lot of time at the finish part of the track because banked corner don't have a straight part before the corner and so it's harder in noRH to keep track on the road properly. With RH I'm sure I can reach a time below 3 minutes.

Mmh, I keep crashing on the loops, but at least I can now rewind. Tried some of the RH (as you can see, not too much, it still looks like shit), on a new track. I'm sorry, I appear to be a total Jaguar fan, on this track mainly because the indy crashes when you make the big jump at full speed, it lands just after the hill. This is a map I made with trackbooster. It gives a nice overview, but it sucks for using a numpad I don't have, numlock isn't ideal.

EDIT: Jay! It works! Even I can do 3.20.55 on Jo...

I hate the calculation times staying the same when rewinding. I crashed into the looping at full speed and I couldn't get him to believe I should go through ones...

EDIT again: I hate pushing restart driving instead of continue all the time... :(

Oh Nailwood, why you never documented that Alt+F10 was "Skip to next track" shortcut in Track Blaster? I just lost about 15 minutes of terrain labouring...  :-\
