Quote from: Byproduct on October 18, 2026, 09:08:10 PM- Uploading own replays is not possible. We have our own track and replay format for the new features, and we only allow replays recorded with the Stunts Online client to keep the competition fair.
I understand wanting to keep the competition fair, but there's a real ownership issue here. The replay file is a record of my driving — my inputs, my skill, my time spent on the track. Restricting uploads to your client doesn't just protect fairness; it locks my own performance data inside your platform, where I can't share, archive, or reuse it as I see fit.
Plenty of classic racing games have thrived on open replay formats and third-party tools without ruining competition.
If my ghost can only live on your website, then I'm not really sharing my replays — I'm feeding a walled garden. I'd rather keep my runs to myself until the format is open, or at least exportable.

 
It is reasonable to expect that genetic influences on traits like IQ should become less important as one gains experiences with age. Surprisingly, the opposite occurs.

And of course I can guess they will not accept silly old format tracks, because why accepting the tracks of a 30 yo game? That's what I understand.

Alain: if you prefer to play Stunts the original way, for that you have ZakStunts right here! And playstunts too. Reinventing that wheel would be pointless. :)

Stunts Online is for playing with the new features.

Some high scores were deleted, some of them were the best times for those tracks. Why they were removed?

Question best asked, and answered, on the project Discord server!

What project? I asked Byproduct about his (sorry for assuming gender) Stunts Online site. This topic was created by him to have a discussion about it here.

I can see these log entries, but the highscores doesn't show them:

[2026-10-19 23:51] Sutsuka Circuit: Bernie Rubbers made a new top time! 1:40.30 (Porsche/March INDY)

[2026-10-20 00:21] 003-Village: Bernie Rubbers made a new top time! 1:20.35 (Ferrari F40)

This is an annoucement thread that @Byproduct kindly opened to let us know about Stunts Online, not a debugging thread.

There are hundreds of people playing and discussing its details on this Discord linked at the top of the project's page. You are probably in the wrong place.

Thank you for letting us know about it @Byproduct, don't feel like you need to reply to everything here.

Thanks, that's a good way to go about it from now on!

I do still want to mention that there is no problem with scores on the site. It was merely a weak score hacking attempt by the above person, just one of their multiple antics in an attempt to waste my time. I don't even know them – some people just can't stand the idea of others having fun I suppose. 🤷

But, such scores are automatically flagged and easily removed, so there is no issue really, and no need to discuss it further. And you're right, for any actual bug reports, discord is a better place.
