A new extreme Track Mania map.

[Mirfax]

Hey!

Oromis (a friend of mine(comming soon on the forum)) and i are making Track Mania maps all the time. We decided to make a track for the 2 Frag 4 Fun Track Mania server. We would really enjoy if we could have our tracks on your server.
If you like our maps, we would gladly make more tracks.
Please send me an E-mail if you upload my track on your server.

Thank you!

Hey,
First of all that was a fun map i liked it. However I don't determine whether or not it gets on the server. Also I had a couple of suggestions.

1. delete the finish line that you can see from the start line.
2. the first gate is possible to shoot over, so maybe move it back some or reposition it.
3.The flow of your map is great.. until you get to the part where u have to slow down for that mini jump so that you land in the gate. I suggest that you make that a larger jump so that you don't have to ruin the speed that you map has going for it.
4. And finally i suggest after all of the flips i suggest you change that "weave turn" (slows up your flow again) into just a normal curve.

Once again it was a lot of fun to play and here is my replay.
If you have any questions or comments about what I said please feel free to ask.

Hey!

First, thanks for reading my post Cowman :)

I will fix the stuff you told about. But:
(I'm sorry for all the questions, but I'm from Norway and not the bets in English.)

1. What did you mean about the wave? You said i should make an "orginal wave".

2. Where is that small jump you where talking about? You told .me to make it larger so you didn't have to slow down you speed.

3. I can remember an right turn that was a bit tricky... i think it was over the start area some place, i will remove that turn, and make a better one.

4. And, at least, what do you mean about gate? A place to land? A check point? Or what do you mean?

im downloading the one you posted from filefront until a newer version comes out.

Hi again!

I have tried to fix my track, it wasn't easy! So i hope you like my new verson! :)
I've tried to make it "flowing" all the time, but it's not easy, it's a bit tricky some places, but it works perfect after some practise :)

You can find my new verson of the track at:

I hope you like it! Enjoy :D

Hey,
Might be kinda of late to answer you sorry,

1. What i meant by the "weave turn" is where you put several of the wall crawl or wall ride entry pieces together in order to make the driver have to "weave" back and forth to continue on to the final part of the track. I thought that you should just put a normal curve or turn there.

2. What i meant by the "small jump" was the jump that you take after doing about a 270 degrees turn then you have to jump over speed boosters/turbo boosters.

4. And for this one by gate yes i mean checkpoint sorry for my slang. I was just saying you might want to reposition the first checkpoint because i was able to jump over it.

Hopefully this might have cleared some things up. I wish you could see the timer wile viewing a replay so that you could just say the time at which the trick is but o well.

yeah that first check point i have hit a few times (not gone over but hit) and i have a problem where at that first checkpoint, i will have speed and bounce off that rounded uphill and be in midair not able to turn for that zig-zag. guess i should let go of up for a second. after the update, i couldnt figure out where to go after it change. there is a loop, then 2 paths (1 with turbo and 1 that goes nowhere) i figured it was the turbo one but i got to the end and didnt know where to go. took a while to figure out it is a upside down flip left. but i could never land it and ended up falling asleep. ill try later.

[Mirfax]

Hi again! :)

I know about that first check point. I know that you can hit it, but i dont know where to put it if it cant be there.... i guess i'll try to do something about it.
And about that wallride... i like that it is 3 jumps.... and it's supposed to be difficult... so i don't think i'll do anything about it... and i've tried to fix that little jump... i don't know if you like it, but i think it's better.
And Yo-ma-ma: Where is that place where you didn't know wherfaxre to go? Boost one way and only road the other way? And at least: i'll try to rebuild the end... i know that it isn't easy to know where to drive in the tunnel, but i didn't get any spot for any signs...

I like that you tell me what you mean about my track! :) Continue with that :)

I'll make a new post when the new updated track is done :) See you then :)

Hi again! :)

Now i got a new version of my track for you! It's updated and i hope it's good enough for you to upload it to your server! I've made a intro and some race stuff too! But the music doesn't show up during the race, i don't know why. If you could add the music for me it would be great!
As i said: i hope you like the map, I hope it comes on the server! Send a post or a E-mail to me if the map are uploaded :)

Thanks! Mirfax

Hey,

I really like what you changed on your map, and the song is really cool. My only complaint now (yes I'm a complainer : / ). I race in 1st person view (as if I'm in the car) and I despise 3rd person view(behind the car). So I really think that you should take out the forced 3rd person view. So instead of forcing 3rd person view. In the media tracker I'm pretty sure you can just stop forcing a camera view and it will return them to the original view that they were in. So I can stay in my 1st person view : )

Otherwise I really liked the other changes to your map. Once again thanks for listening.

Hi Cowman :)

I love that you love my track now :P The reason i fixed that with the camera, is: if i force you to go back to the old camera position, is that you don't have to think about the time you need to get through the loop/wallride etc. but i'll chainge it ^^ now problem :P it's done in 2 minutes :P (i just have to validate it AGAIN!!! *sigh* :P ) but i'll do it tomorrow :) tell me if it get's on the server :)

It's coming a new post tomorrow :) with a new link for a new track version :) i promise :P As i said: i'll really love to have my track on your IMBA server :) (because it's the best server i know :P )

Cya tomorrow :P

[Mirfax]

Enjoy!

Hey,

Yea I like it a lot. Its hard but at the same time it is a lot of fun. However as I previously stated I don't determine what goes on and off the server. So you will have to talk to Silversquirrl or Lezlow about that. I suggest either to either P.M. them or just wait until they respond to your thread.

Thanks for your submission,

I have given you access to our tm mapper section. This will provide you with info on uploading media files to our server.

With that being said, the biggest problem i'm seeing with your map is the signs not showing up. Use the info found in the tm mapper section to upload your signs and place loc files in your folder to point to that. I had some issues trying to figure out where to go, but i have a feeling that if the signs in those places were showing up, then it wouldn't be an issue.

The name needs changed. Something more standalone, personalized for your map.

Structual Support: I have an engineering background and can't stand when track pieces are just floating in air. Go through and ad poles to support floating pieces as well as adding some buildings for eye candy. make the map look good. its a little plain right now.

Track layout is nice. Good speed throughout.
Try not to put text dead center of the screen. While its helpful the first time you play the track, it then gets in the way of when you know whats coming, but have the text in the way.
