Forum dedicated to freeware game GeneRally created by Hannu and Jukka Räbinä.
I would opt for not-so-big packs released officially by GRRacers forum, because with your option the size of tracks would raise (each track containing additional objects), or you'll have to download hundreds of addon object packs created by every single trackmakerXYY wrote:Or you could create at least 5 different custom objects in one tracks with 30 vertexes and 40 polygons like in the careditor (but this one might be easy to bypass)
I guess you mean something like in the attachment? This is not so hard to do since it'd take 1 or 2 lines of code to read the "header" which would indicate a title... Put it to screen and when clicked, just show the cars which follows... What am I doing here anyway??? o.O Useless thread...Sutinenn wrote:I forgot one of the most useful things: When you select the car from the list, should be like if the car file is for example "F1 2010 by Fechna" it there would not be all the cars in the list like:
Red bull
Renault
Ferrari
It would be like this:
|F1 2010 by Fechna|
...and when you click it:
|F1 2010 by Fechna| >|_____________________________________________|| Red bullThat would be very useful.
| Renault
| Ferrari
But what about 6-AI games? who will the player move with then?Rendy wrote:Scrolling feature (where the camera moves as the player car do so like in Turbo Sliders). Interested with this?

If there would be a cockpit view, it would be awesome, but landscapes and cars would look like crap from close...winr wrote:Am I the only one who would be interested in first-person-view for GR?
I know the whole point of GR is that it is bird's-eye-view... but it'd be so cool to drive your car through a rally or street track in first-person.
It's probably much more difficult to do than bird's-eye-view.
But I agree with most players here that we shouldn't change GR too much (if we get the chance to). If we could change the view to scrolling or first-person or some other alternative then I would suggest increasing the world-size. That is the biggest wish I have. And maybe a few more polygons/vertices for cars.
Well, trackmakers would have more work.XYY wrote:yeah, I also thought about that...
but 2048 wouldn't be good for trackmakers IMO becouse then you'll have much more pixels to do...
and another idea:
why don't we use the whole 16 colour palette, but only 13 colors?
the other 3 colours could be used for blue/green kerb ... and it wouldn*t be different for carmakers...
What about 1024*1024 32bit surfaces? Duh...XYY wrote:yeah, I also thought about that...

No, this would be bad idea. Well, "surfaces" was meant to be LMAP actually... But HMAP should also be 1024*1024 but only 256 colors black/white... Like it is now but bigger...Paw wrote:Well, what about HMap, LLap (32bit), and SurfaceMap (kinda similar to what LMap is now)?
Adjust the balance for steering speed. Also, drift physics are made easy in the present momentSutinen wrote:New steering. (More realistic, slow steering response when steering)
New damage, spinning out in corners, Better drifting (Car is on slide and you are steering in the other way) and drifting gamemode.
See my NATO Delta I mean in real life like D1GP you get points from entry speed, angle, speed and exit speed (of the corner). If you drift in real life you would spin out with the current generally physics.The Great Falcon wrote:Adjust the balance for steering speed.

And the balance, if you steer from left side to right side, the car doesnt just steer like that, it has slower response.
And the GR physics are OK when you respect some realistic physics...Actually, if you try my realistic top secret S15, it has the realistic handling feel, but it can spin out in corners only if you fail the braking (If you brake when entered the corner, the game automatically switches to reverse gear.(SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH)).Haruna Say wrote:You need to do more than simply adjust cornering balance.
Grip is a major factor in drifting, as well.
It is very difficult (impossible?) to make a car fully spin out on tarmac and still be fully playable, but with a very low grip (less than 1), it is possible to overdo the oversteer and be slowed down greatly.
I guess this needs a lot more experimenting however, try it.
And how to use OpenGL, SDL, sockets on windows, Linus and MAC we're in buiseness... Seriously...Ed_Mozart wrote:I think this: everybody in this place wants a new version and have good ideas like 32-bit bitmap tracks, new objects, more polys or unlimited polys on the cars, a new menu... so if the man of that source code don't want a new version, give to us! we only need people who knows C++ (is that the language of GR?)
