Title: The Gravel Pit v.1
Post by: 𝖙𝖋𝖈 on October 22, 2014, 09:43:33 AM
Hey  :D

Here is my first released track (not first made)

Wanted to make something that didn't really need objects as I really made it as a track to learn advanced texturing on such as normals masks and getting them right, so you got nothing but rock, stoney sand and compact track surface. Supposed to have that kind of locally made feel while also being race-able, so you got gates / pits etc.. Got big jumps and elevation changes, but it's not 100% perfect..

The ruts look OK, they are tire tracks with normal maps and you do notice them on lips and going slow, but I know they don't look too great on corners, I tried having the ruts mask twice the size but it really started slowing the game down and didn't really help, need to find a new way to do those!

Hope you guys like it!

The track is great, it's missing the timing. At one point, one always crashes just before the jump and comes only with very many attempts it. But it will be better in the next release determined. ;)

Tip: You should rename the .zip to .pkz, then people can just drop that into their tracks folder.

The links for the track seem to point to a pretty much dead site :(

I downloaded this last week though :( what happened ?

Any chance someone could link me to it somewhere ?

I will upload somewhere else at some point, I'm currently learning objects though so once I've got them figured - might just skip and release a v2. I know there are some race timing problems with the current version and I have a couple of tracks waiting to release before I start that!..

Nice find damien!

remote.simraces.com is my backup url to access the server in it's remaining days lol. FlowTech has uploaders that are pretty cool, but don't have too much activity yet. I recommend http://mxbcontent.flowtechmxs.com/ for putting content onto. FlowTech has taken over the SimRaces teamspeak and simraces.com points to a redirect page now for FlowTech.

In a case like that, idk if it's kosher to make a new Mediafire link by re-zipping and uploading the existing trackfile on my harddrive. Sometimes the author may take awhile to get back or never. My guess is they'd have no probs with help distributing their work, as long as no virus, false credit or profit is made in the process. I don't like to assume.

I thought it would be better to just whack a media file link up somewhere.

Its the way im used to getting content from the modders in the sim racing community, for rfactor, assetto corsa etc :)

Anyway works though, as long as it works ;)
