Anomaly Racing mod for UT2K4 - the Super Thread

[black-feather]

no prb man not rushing u just take ur time. hehe
and if you wanna just do some tracks but have no time, feel free to use the tracks staticmeshes packages included with Anomaly. I saved them as separate packages for that reason hehe. In fact everyone is free to try that out if you want

and oh jerky, thanks for your suggestions! We'll try to get those things done, and we're currently in the process of adding bots to the game. They kinda stupid now. hehe So, we'll be pimping left, right and center after that hehe. Hopefully we'll get the number of players up so that we'll have more players online more often...

and since i'm here, there is a new map at
http://p214.ezboard.com/fanomalyfrm8...picID=14.topic

its done by Redpill, who did the corkscrew map. This new map is quite cool! The track layout is not too difficult and it looks cool too! Though its still in beta, but its already quite playable. Do check it out.. ok?

btw what does WW stands for anyway? and if you guys are playing Anomaly again, can we join in? If not playing, its ok

Sorry, i'm usually not online on weekends, as i gotta accompany my gf :P

Oh, you've got static track meshes included with the mod? That would save me some time...

WW = Wednesday Wannabees.

Corkscrew was good - it should hav ebeen played last week. I'll need to check this new map out as well then.

I usually ditch the computer for your GF, too.

What exactly do the check points do in game anyway? What function do they serve? Do I really need to include them?

[black-feather]

yupz staticmeshes included. Redpill used them in corkscrew and used some in his new Icerunbeta too You can just used them to test some simple layouts for starters This new map is even better, and its really worth a download. Do pop by and liven up our forum abit plzzz.... even though it has irritating pop-ups. Our project lead is back and we should be getting a new web makeover soon. And no more pop ups! juz bear with us for the moment :P

and thanks for the explaination dna hehe

and ermm... thanks for ditching your com for my gf? well shes taken, so get ur own...

Checkpoints are used for making sure players follow a designated path thats all. You'll need to include them if you want to have an end to your game. hehe if not, the game will juz go on and on. ermm.. the track can be used as a practice track if theres no checkpoints
So, yupz you need to include them if you don't want the guys to keep going in circles till the end of the WW. hehe

Isn't that what the start and finish is for? I'm just looking at the maps that are out right now and it seems as if the check points are just thrown in at random and don't seem to make much sense as far as placement goes nor do they serve a purpose for gameplay.

[black-feather]

yupz, erm... yupz checkpoints are not really needed, i thought you are referring to the actor, you can just use the start and end to finish up the game. Checkpoints are just basically there for checking the progress in the middle of the race.
Usually they signify the start/end of a certain change in the track or a certain section.

Even better.

I think I'll start off with the simple oval map for Lenny, just to get my feet wet.

This new ice map is pretty good, you don't ever have to let off the gas. A little easier for the speed impaired
