The leaderboard are going to be refreshed towards the final release, if i'm not mistaken.
Love shortcuts, but to a limit. That is more of an f-zero cut than wipeout. Maybe a few checkpoints so that large a cut cannot be done
this is very cool xD 3 shortcuts in a single lap, and nothing too fancy either. now add BRs back into the game (as an unlockable feature for completing the game) and the let the fun begin ;)
@jabberjaw: it's like a typical X-Cup shortcut, when most if not all AI ships fail ...
I'm back.
Physics got gud. Nothing much to say. I played the campaign with g-tek and I've got a smile on my face. "It's Wip3out all over again." Back in the day it felt furutistic. and it still feels futuristic. Ishitar Citadel could be a track set in the sky. The background is really good so does the track texture. Luna felt lacking something after I've saw that renewed track.

_If you press look back while in photo mode(thirdperson mode) the ship will disappear. if you press and hold it the ship re-appears. Same happens in first person. but if you do that, the cockpit and ship will be there at the same time(really stupid.)
Other than that...I dont think so.
You should reconsider that cockpit model(and the others that you're planing) in WO3 They didn't obstruct your view. the "cage" on the cockpit makes it hard to see, and the panel could be less centered. Take the F-16 for example or even the WO3 cockpits.
Hoping for the next release. THE HYPE IS ALL OVER ME.
EDIT: For the steam devbranch I think you wanna keep in mind to NOT replace the UserData Folder. I've played the game for several minutes, closed, and it update, and my files were gone. good thing I had the backup
Wasn't there a guide knocking about somewhere for importing the ships from WO/WO2097 into this game? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I have the community ships imported already I just don't know what files I need to get from the old games and what to do with them. Can anyone point me in the right direction if so?
On a related note, does anyone remember the name of that software you use to extract files from playstation games? I think I found it through a post on this forum somewhere, possibly one of the reverse engineering threads. I'm sure it's sitting on one of my hard drives but I can't remember for the life of me what it was called lol.
The guide is located in the BallisticNG folder, I believe it is called _Wipeout Ships.txt (but I don't remember).
To extract files from PlayStation games, you can just put the CD into your disc tray and browse it, I believe. I've had them in .iso format for a while though, so don't quote me on that.
Also most of the obscene shortcuts that I did (I'm Matt) have been patched, though with that being said, there are still quite a lot of them in tracks like 0x002, 0x003, Maceno Bay (still, if you turn left after the checkpoint you go straight to the end), etc. Furthermore, the option of disabling shortcuts in Multiplayer lobbies has been discussed if people feel they would ruin the experience. Personally I'm all for it, shortcuts are fun, interesting and iconic but I don't think they're necessarily more fun or skillful.
Truth is, I suck at these type of games. I am pretty sure without shortcuts I wouldn't be where I am.
Just found out I was thinking of jPSXdec, I used it once to convert the bgm in parappa the rapper from .xa1 to .wav. Luckily the wavs all still had .xa1 in the filename as a quick google search for that came up with a page on another forum where people were discussing it.
I'd spent a while lurking in the reverse engineering threads in the past so I incorrectly assumed that I had discovered it in there. My apologies.
In regards to the current Unstable build, there's major issues with the custom control binding on controllers. Whenever I tried to bind the Thrust to the A button on my 360 pad (just to make sure), it would automatically reselect the option for that keybind and seek a new input. Similarly, binding something to the B or Start button would cause the game to back out of the Controls menu once pressed.
