Last post by Daniel3D - April 08, 2024, 11:28:30 AMOn the bright side. With such a thick skull, you don't need a helmet. But I sincerely hope you have a healthier attitude in traffic, though. You are the most disrespectful and toxic person I have met on a peaceful forum like this. The problems you encounter are fully self-imposed, and if you have an issue with that, then you should start with yourself instead of insulting everyone.
As for your screenshots. Very nice. Looks good. But does the driving feel like stunts? Yes, it's pseudo physics, but that's what we like about it.
Despite all the negativity you have spread around our forum, I still wish you good fortune and happiness,
Take care.

Thanks!
Makes me so happy. Big chicane corners.
Well, here are some more, these may be the last for a while.
That last one is just a little bit silly too.

Last post by Duplode - April 07, 2024, 08:57:10 PMSome scattered thoughts...
If we were to try and actively draw an audience for a competition, some kind of live racing event could be a good fit. (Cc @Erik Barros and @alanrotoi , who have been thinking about potential ways to broadcast things.)
The remake question is an interesting one. The Restunts project always had on the horizon to someday reverse enough of the code to allow a port away from DOS, or possibly a faithful enough remake. Either way, I guess people generally agree (not literally everyone, but a large enough share) that Stunts is worth preserving, both as living history and as digital art shaped by a peculiar set of constraints. Incidentally, I was pleasantly surprised to see, just the other day, a piece on The Guardian the other day covering "Why are younger generations embracing the retro game revival?"
I'm now wondering what the TrackMania community and ecosystem is like these days. I remember the game was fairly popular back when I used to play it regularly, but that was around 2008 or 2009 -- at this point, Trackmania itself is approaching retro game status

It's an Opponent Proximity Sensor

Competition 2024 / ZCT273 Kelvin
Last post by Duplode - April 07, 2024, 05:31:51 PM@Daniel3D's track features (spoilers ahead!) an illusion walled chicane. While the illusion means you don't get to see the exit walls of the chicane while you're entering it, you can get a decent sense of where to place the car by aiming at the asphalt of the exit "ramp", whose underside is overlaid by the illusion.
Since this configuration is made out by fusing the lower parts of two u/d corks, there is a crest at the point they meet. While it's perhaps even be possible to take advantage of a little jump there, it's also rather easy to fly into the exit wall if you're going too fast. That being so, a conservative approach to begin with might be slowing down hard enough to keep the car on the ground, and then gradually pushing harder on further attempts.
Here is a GIF demo of navigating past the illusion:

Last post by mrdries - April 07, 2024, 11:24:03 AMYeah.
I think a World Stunts Championship would be really cool.
I don't think there's ever been held one?
I mean... it gives the opportunity to be crowned Stunts World Champion.
And the format that they use in Tetris, a duel, to get to the next round. Often, it's best of 3 games to get to the next round. Such a format is nice to follow for the viewer.
And if there's some advertising for a World Championship, it may attract some new people.
And if some Youtube Videos were made of the races, it may get some more attention for the year after.
Monthly races are awesome to keep Stunts going. But something like a World Championship is something that stands out for viewers. Something they may long for in advance. I know I've been longing for the Tetris World Championships, like counting down. Even though I could follow the monthly competitions on YouTube.
To be honest, I'd really hope such a thing would get done. I think it's super cool.
I'm always willing to help. It may not be too hard. Seems there's already the set up for multiplayer Stunts.
People can do the races online. That's what they did with NES Tetris too, during Covid.
