i've been playing a lot of F-Zero X recently and i love racing so many people at once... it's... a 'game fetish' I have.

@Zero3growlithe
wow the track reminds me of Outpost 7, but i owned Outpost 7 though..
So is it possible to make MagLock sections in the tracks?
if it is possible then it would open up opportunities for tracks to have awesome sections. Eg. Talon's Junction Loop etc etc,
and do you guys think we need more tracks? what about ships? will this game get the ability to choose different ships with different stats?
You playing it on a ROM (sorry mods)? I'll send F-Zero Execution Project to you and one of my .fzep's forward and reverse. (unless you have it...) I've started mashing keys to Silence and White Land and Sector tracks ( especially Sector ß)
Back on topic
More the marrier right?
Any hopes on Zone mode?
I started using python today, its a powerful programme! (just at chapter 2 in tutorials though.)

My gf broke up with me so I have more time to work with you guys. And I learnt Hex in one day (00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, A, B, C, D, E, F, 10, 11, etc. ) And Senary. ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, etc.
I use Project64. it's weird, WipEout 64 doesn't like the plugin that I use for f-zero, and neither look good for f-zero in the first place (one messes up menus but has good 3d, the other has good menus and bad 3d...)
Also, Thread derailment yay!
@MyNameIsBom: Yeeeeeees, it's possible to make them, just change texture or mark it somehow else on track in places where u want mag-strips and i'll take care of those places ;)
@feisar_rocket: ("Any hopes on Zone mode?") Hmmmmm... maybe :g If Unity will keep up with increasing speed and will detect all collisions then no problem.
Mag-strips are possible, all you need to do is set the ships to automatically orient itself to the track (i.e. align to normal) and then make gravity local to the object (so wherever the objects -z axis points is down).
I felt that I needed to do something similar to you Zero and program an auto sorting node based pathfinder. I'm almost finished, I just have to find a way to compare two lists simultaneously- it feels great when it works!
Yay! thats great news! :clap, looking forward to zone mode! :g
as for improvements... in the game. im going to be a B**** on this one.
1. the ship hovering is great, but it feels really stiff somehow. feels like pulse, not saying its bad but when you turn a corner, especially corners that have slopes, the bottom of the ship grinds the track. which slows you down a bit.
2. excessive bouncing.... i dont really like it :P
3. the collision box for ships need to be fixed abit, because i can just fly staright into another ship and it will just fly over it.
4. The walls of the track, theyre rather easy to drive through? all you have to do is drive straight into it and youre out of the track, im sure there is a way to fix it, make it that its impossible to drive through.
i know my list is a bit demanding, but dont stress at it, take your time.
i know the game is at alpha stage(?) at the moment, wow i cant wait for zone mode or even the weapons! :D
also at the moment im still dumbstruck with 3DS max, i cant look at any tutorials at all due to my internet being at 0.06Mbs... :brickwall
is it a good idea if i draw some tracks for you guys? how about ships?
Zone ship model, and FZEP (for anyone interested) is gonna be uploaded tomorrow or tonight ( depends on when my mom stops stalking and searching my room...)
If the Zone ship could be a team, celeritas (speed in latin), aptus (prepared in latin), Ar-Ce-O (pronounce like R-C-O) or caelum (pronounce like Sail-um) are names I like.
Short discription; Team <name here> has an open hull for the air cooling of its Delta level, Desync drive engine, capable of forcing the ship to mach 1 in a straightaway. But with a problem It's only possible to access mach 1- supersonic speeds with a light weight ship. Therefore, smaller shield batteries and less armor are installed. But with this speed, out running a weapon would be easy, unless your on Zero's latest track...
Speed over lateral stability and shielding, at least the Space Corps lended team <name here> military grade airbrakes to help you slow down at break-neck speeds. This is team <name here>.
P.S. Bouncing? Good! Give it that first WO feel. IDC about name btw.
actually disregard my previous mention about the bouncing, i actually like it :redface: but still the "hovering" of the ship needs fixing, i wish i could help... only if i knew how to programme :brickwall
hold up, with the current "sliding" of the ship, zone mode would be impossible beyond phantom, i mean you would be sliding everywhere, wouldnt you? i think, give your opinions as well, that the sliding needs to be tweaked abit, im not saying that it has to be the same as HD's but rather like Pure's but towards Fusion abit.
as for zone tracks.. you can count on me! and i may come up with a ship.
as for the "sliding" factor, it will limit how sharp the corners, i draw, can be..
ill see howit turns out ;)
