Stunt Race Xtreme - Track editor shots (large)

3 new screenshots showing the revamped SRX track editor - it now has a proper GUI and can load and save to any filename, allowing the creation of loads of tracks.

Start mode placement - currently can place 4 start positions for network / local players -


Checkpoint placement - numbered checkpoints are placed around the track - they extend vertically to infinity so it is impossible for the cars to jump over them - they must just pass within the checkpoint x/z radius at that point -


And finally the track creation itself - the viewpoint can roam around freely, pieces can be rotated, placed and deleted at will -

That looks really good...

I have a question though...

I assume the laps are read by making sure you pass from checkpoint 1 then checkpoint 2 etc... And the checkpoints are infinitly tall so you can't put one at the top of the loop...

So if this is correct does this mean that you wouldn't actually need to do the loop? Just get to the bottom of it and drive across the track onto the road next to it?

Man, this looks great Vorderman... :)

I think we need another demo soon, with the editor included.. :p

Currently, yes - I need to think of a way around that - the easiest way would be to split the base of the loop so it has a 1-lane gap in the centre so that you can't cross from one side to the other.

Couldn't you just put a checkpoint here, or am I missing something?

You could, but they have a fairly generous radius so you'd probably still get it by jumping off the right side of the track as the loop starts to rise.

This should solve it though :) -

Another quick piccy to show the nice rainbow and clouds -

Looks sweet, man. Get something like a rusted ship wreck in there as scenery, and stuff like that.

wowo vordi - looking fabtastic!

Good to see you are making serious progress with this remake.
Best of luck in the new year to you whilst I'm here.

Looks superb! That rainbow is too straight though - it should start curving before it goes outside the screen.

btw I like Lenn's idea about a shipwreck in the water - or perhaps boats gently bobbing in the water - these things add interest and give the environment a less static feel. You could even add sharks snapping from the water to try and put you off or dolphins leaping out of the water.

It's a large 180 degree arc that crosses from one side of the world to the other, so it is curved, it's just the camera in the screenshot is right under it I think.

Lovely!

Can't you put a checkpoint at the top of the loop? The 'closed' loop looks better IMO.

Yes but rainbows are never that big!

I assure they will get that big as soon as you eat some magic mushrooms:

Probably, but the checkpoints are used for respawning the cars when they fall off, so they could cause complete mayhem if the car flies off the loop at that point.


Artistic licence :) (ie. I can't be bothered to change it)

:-D

Top stuff!
