You forgot the moving sea effect from the lighthouse track though (yeah, I didn't add it back in the latest iteration, waiting for feedback I wasn't sure it was a final version) > Hi, > > big congratulations for the new lighthouse track - it's really great!!! > > Cheers, > Joerg > > Thanks :D flag you like it Are you interested in .blend files? >> I have been playing the new improved tracks (great improvements by the >> way:)) and found a bug with the new sand track. The karts start in >> front of the start/finish 'line'. This means that the first lap is lap >> 0 not lap 1. >> Okay. Not sure how to fix that though. Now, as a quick question, if I were to improve other tracks, which ones should I look at? There are IMO a few ones that are too bad to be improved. I was thinking of maybe turning star track into a spacy track. Tracks that IMO are too bad to be saved with improvements: * geeko peak * bsod battlements * gowns bow * race track (seems to belong to another game, doesn't fit the STK style IMO) And tracks that would IMO need quite a lot of changes to be interesting: * subsea (repetitive, boring visuals) * little volcano (repetitive, boring visuals) And finally I don't like beack track at all, IMO the shape of the road has way too much U-turns, but that may just be me :) I'd be glad to improve tracks as I can but of course would like your advice first. Sand and Lighthouse were easy improvements ( well Sand was a bit harder :) ) As a side note, I'd like to point out something that greetly annoyed me while working with tracks - kart stuff and track stuff are mixed toghether. I find it annoying that track models and kart models are in the same folder - they're totally unrelated. Same thing when I'm searching for a texture, I'm finding nolok icons and stuff like that. Also track screenshots have little to do with textures. If some day you change structure, I would love to see a seperation of karts+karts icons, tracks+tracks screenshots and general textures. And finally a small word on the new music : it's great to have more music, though a few of them are just so much repetitive it's more annoying (for instance the caribbean ones - it's a single riff put on repeat with only minor variations) the title music is great though :D Sorry for including so many subjects in the same post ;) |
