Well, if nobody that hasn't posted a track this year wants to post one there, I have an extra track I'd like to put in one of those :-)

I've got my new track ready for ZCT195. I had tried about three times before to get the inspiration for a nice track and I think today I got it 
I still have over two weeks to send it, but I'll do it now, just in case. I think you guys will like it 

Is it already decided who will author the November and December tracks?

[23rd]

I'm in!  Definitely!

The ideal date for me would be the 23rd, because the 14th is my birthday, which makes it likely that I do something on the 16th and because on Sundays I tend to not be at home in the afternoons, but anyway, if I know in advance, I could make space for any of the other days.

I think we should make it double (or maybe triple) this time again. I could prepare one of tracks (or two). It'd be great if we had many participants this time. We could make a video explaining the rules and promoting the live race, upload it to YouTube and post it on the site

I totally agree with Dreadnaut. We support you so that you can enjoy everything you like from Stunts without the burden of having to do the part you don't feel like doing :-)

Zak, mate, I sure understand. I can only imagine what it must be like to keep on doing this continuously for so many years non-stop. And I agree too that the championship can't be closed, as it's the only running one and it's been like that most of the time for years. I'm just an average member here, not a great racer, not the most active, not the oldest. Whatever I can give a hand with, count on me. You guys already know what I'm good, average and bad at. Maybe each could take care of one aspect or they could be grouped. Perhaps we should make a list of the tasks that need to be taken care of and see who'd be best for what, who'd want to do it and who others would vote for it.

What are the tasks that are taking most of the time?   What do you feel the most tired of doing?

Hi, guys... just wated to share this RPL that happened to me as I was racing this track. We all know these things usually happen in Stunts, but it's still fun to share

Thanks. If you see anything acting up, just let me know.

My goodness!  Duplode's was the last message in the Stunts Related Programs subforum till now!  And it was in December... Anyway...
Just wanted to tell you guys I've made a few touches to Bliss in the last months and I thought I should by now update the program as it's published. You can download the latest version (Bliss 2.5.2) from here: http://www.dimioca.com/bliss

It's just a couple of bug fixes and two simple features:
- You can now set a "Stunts directory" and a "Tracks directory" for more comfortable access. If you feel comfortable editing the configuration file, you can also add your own extra directory links there by following the instructions in the manual, but the two I mentioned can also be modified from the Settings menu.
- Although Bliss is a portable project, you can, if you prefer, move the executable to a protected location so that it cannot be written to by other programs (protection from trojans). Bliss will try to find its data files at /home/user/bliss or /home/user/.bliss for GNU/Linux or %appdata%\bliss for Windows or follow the PATH for DOS. Only if not found there, it will try to locate them at the executable directory.

Great article, Oliver!  Thanks for writing about us
Only one tiny mistake:
in glorious 640×480 resolution -> Stunts uses 320x200!   Even more glorious!

I'll download this article and keep it

Wow!  I think you guys found the very best solution

Guys. This is the track called "Acacia Avenue", probably by Gutix, that participated in the track building contest during Paleke's WSC. It was one of the non-winners, together with AbuRaf's track that we're currently playing. Anelio didn't give his track a name, or maybe just AbuRaf70. I wish we still had the posts in the forums of those days.

I was checking the results. It's very interesting how much difference there is between the fastest lap and other laps for each racer (not counting the first, longer lap). Racing live is no doubt a very different experience. So, the file opens perfectly on my computer

It was really fun. I think it's the best way of racing, but of course, it's harder to get everybody online at the same time. I guess we could have two or three of these events per year and maybe prepare more than one track in advance for each event

New track for second race... if you like it
