Stunts Reverse Engineering / New mod: extended line of sigh...
Last post by HerrOtto - January 27, 2025, 01:47:06 AMYou cannot view this attachment.
Hi guys! I wanted to present you a Stunts mod I'm working on, which allows to see much farther objects.
The task is harder than I thought, but I can show you the easy version, which extends the line of sight to 8 tiles by sacrificing the lateral vision. The effect is not bad; as you can see from the attached screenshot it allows to see the first ramp from the starting line in the default track. Unfortunately it also shows the slalom road on top of the hill, which should be hidden. But I think it's still quite pleasant and should allow nice screenshots if one chooses the right track and point of view.
The mod is attached to this post. Let me know what you think of it.
Now the technical explanation, for which I'm much indebted to the Restunts project.
The game only draws 23 tiles: the one where the car is standing, the two immediately left and right of the driver, and a 5x4 rectangle in front of him. I rearranged the tiles in a narrower but longer configuration.
The goal is obviously to convince the engine to draw more than 23 tiles, but this is much harder than reorganizing them, so it might take a lot of effort and the success is not guaranteed. I hope to come back with good news in future!

Competition and Website / Re: Position Time Bonus
Last post by dreadnaut - January 26, 2025, 09:21:13 PMQuote from: Duplode on January 24, 2025, 02:14:05 AM@dreadnaut Re-reading the draft of the rules, I have noticed another difference relative to the proposal. The draft says "Pipsqueaks in first position gain 0.5 bonus points for every 132 hours", which would imply the existence of a PTB +1.5 step between PTB +1 and PTB +2. With there being only three steps, it's probably easier to just have a table listing them:
Hours PTB points 132 +0.5 264 +1 528 +2
Thanks Duplode, feel free to update the rules file. Also, to clarify: let's have a clean start with PTB, without carrying over the hours from the previous system.
