Ballistic NG - Wipeout fan project

I've been taking it slow the past week, going to step it back up again. I've just been working on a remake of a Gare d'Europa since 2-3 people suggested it for physics testing, there's a screenshot below. As for copyright, what I'm looking to do is have the game check for the contents of the Wipeout 2097 CD so you need to ideally have obtained a legal copy of Wipeout 2097 before you are able to use this. This track remake, and the game contents check so you can play on the track, will be in the next version of the game.

Sweet

I've seen the vids, this is awesome.
You'll have to check for all versions of Wipeout 2097/XL, don't how you do that ;)

Er...Does that mean I need a Wipeout2097.iso to play this? I have no idea what this mean.

You'll need just the track files, it looks like the files are exactly the same across the board so there shouldn't be any issues. There's going to be a readme with the game that explains what to do so that should hopefully address any confusion.

I've seen your last vids, that's huge man ;)
Can't wait to try this.

Sorry I can't comment on your vids, I've always refused to create a Google+ account just to comment youtube videos.

Regarding a release date, I'm looking to have a more unoptimized version (in terms of the track rendering) out tomorrow. I just finished making a tool to move the start line on the track (you probably noticed on my videos that the start line was straight after the jump) and tomorrow I'm going to make this 2097 data verifier. After that's finished and it works I will then release it :)

I'm moving to a new flat this week, so I probably won't be able to try it... but be sure I'll do it as soon as I can ;)
WO2097 is my favorite one, and I like Gare d'Europa ;)

Alpha 0.03
Download: https://github.com/bigsnake09/Ballis...Alpha.0.03.zip

As expected this version has Gare d'Europa and an attempt a fully replicating Wipeout 2097's physics. I think the camera needs a lot of work still, but I feel like the ship handling is going in a good direction, let me know what you think and how you think it can be improved though.

I included a readme that tells you how to setup Wipeout tracks for the game to read it, if you don't setup the tracks correctly then you'll get an error message when you start the game.

The next version of the game will be Alpha 0.03_2, for this I want to make the ship feel better to pilot and fix all the rough edges with the physics, which obviously includes many of the wall collision bugs.

Ok, tried it yesterday evening.
Here are some things I noticed :
- It looks more power consuming, my core i7 with GT650m seems to be at max with normal and 1280x720. For comparison, SSGX using also Unity didn't gave me issues;
- Cannot go into the OPTIONS screen, the game freezes when I hit ESC;
- Way to hard not too go out the track, maybe the walls need to be higher;
- The repawn can be in the wrong direction;
- The HUD is now at the good scale ... so the weapon+power indicator is really disturbing to see the track (it disturbs me in lots of Wipeouts);
- The ship can bounce really (too) high when hitting a wall;
- The last jump is too long, I often was too short;
- I flew though a wall and didn't respawed, I had to stop the game (it didn't freeze, the time counter was still increasing).


Of course, I always point out what I think need a correction :)
Otherwise, the shape of the track is OK.
I think I would remove the speed pad before the first "up and down" because it takes you out of the track.
The second "up and down" is also really hard not to get out of the track, don't know what you can do... put the tunnel a little longer?

This are my thoughts mate ;)

Don't take all the remarks as negative, I like what you're doing, I just want to help to improve ;)
