Custom Cars with Stressed / Re: Baronetti Payback
Last post by alanrotoi - December 29, 2025, 04:16:17 AMQuote from: Spoonboy on December 10, 2025, 11:03:26 PM@alanrotoi I have been driving the Payback and I'm loving it! It has stats that are all in fun ranges. Good acceleration, fast but not uncontrollable. And that dashboard! 🤩
What was your inspiration?
Looking forward to seeing this in R4K maybe.
Thank you for your kind words and support @KyLiE @Spoonboy and @Cas ! It would be an honor to see this car in R4K!
Here is the launch video of the car. It's a bit retro 80's

Stunts Reverse Engineering / Re: Distorted explosion sprite...
Last post by Cas - December 29, 2025, 03:01:30 AMThis is a very good, strong and testable explanation. Reading the original thread again now, I can't even remember myself writing those posts. What's left to see here is, if this is correct, what the reason is that leads the sphere primitive to trigger this. This could be analysed by changing a sphere's diameter and observing the changes in the explosion, I guess.

Stunts Reverse Engineering / Distorted explosion sprites in...
Last post by Foxpup - December 29, 2025, 12:42:05 AMWhile working on a new car, I encountered the explosion sprite bug described but never solved in this thread and decided to investigate. After much testing, I am confident the sphere primitive is the culprit. A car model will exhibit the bug if and only if it has at least one sphere primitive; the number, size, location, and orientation of the sphere(s) seems to make no difference. Even a zero-size sphere at the model's origin will produce the bug. Early theories that the bug is related to the size of the car model are unfounded and were probably influenced by the fact that the most common use of sphere primitives is to represent a driver's helmet in small open-cockpit race cars, and also by the fact that, under normal circumstances, the model's bounding box determines the origin and scale of the explosion sprite.
My theory is that the function that determines a model's bounding box in screen space has a bug when it comes to sphere primitives, which was never caught during testing because none of the original car1/car2 models have spheres, nor do the car0 models ever explode. (Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure Indy's car0 is the only model in the entire game to use the sphere primitive, so it wouldn't surprise me if sphere rendering was added to the game at the last minute without any real testing at all.)

Season's Chat - CCC / CCC03R2 - Sweden-3
Last post by Duplode - December 28, 2025, 07:00:51 PMThe second round of the Christmas Special is open at https://ccc.mystunts.net/ ! This week, we'll race on a retro track: Sweden-3, from Krys TOFF's WRC Stunts. The deadline is next Saturday, 2026-01-03 23:59:59 UTC, and the cars for this round are:
You can get the cars from the site, or from this post. Specially for the Delta S4 I recommend re-downloading the car from the new pack, as the current version is not compatible with the one used in CCC back in 2022.
There are no tunnel checkpoints in this track, and the must-finish-under-the-banner rule will not be applied in this race. As usual in CCC, penalty time is not allowed; other than that, any line is okay.
- @alanrotoi 's Ford Sierra RS Cosworth
- Ryoma's Lancia Delta S4
- Alan's Land Rover Defender 90
- @CTG and Ryoma's Subaru Impreza WRC

Season's Chat - CCC / Re: CCC03R1 - Rally Square
Last post by Duplode - December 28, 2025, 06:11:16 PMQuote from: Alain il professore on December 28, 2025, 06:02:47 PMGreat job from the admins and track designers. I have only one regret, Marlboro R5 is meant to excel for ice skating, and it was not ready soon enough.
Soon™ Preview video
Yeah, I was thinking about it while picking cars for the final rounds! Anyway, we'll have other opportunities
