Joint Effort Rally Project

[Otto Wilson]

Herbal: maybe you'll see more one or two stages by me, but i will wait a bit for other people stages,
I have the the 'Monte-Carlo' project ongoing, and BBA is working on Rally GB (I hope you still, BBA )

So, at the end, i think at least 8 unique stages are enough, as most real rallies have this amount of unique stages too...

[Bouncebackability]

Its still coming along, but I keep changing to other tracks every now and again.

[Mad Dan]

Theres no need to hurry . I wanted to finish two more stages and frukis is still working on slusovice I think .

[FRUKIScze]

Yes. I'm still working. I'm rookie in making rally tracks, so I'm terribly slow. And can someone help me with textures of broken asphalt? I don't know how to do it.

[Bouncebackability]

Use a pencil tool and draw lots of short, jagged lines (that look like cracks) using the dark tarmac on the light tarmac, then very lightly paint back over these lines with a spray paint of the light colour again.

[FRUKIScze]

Thanks BBA. And what if I use oil craps on dark tarmac?

[Mad Dan]

That usually doesn't look good .

[FRUKIScze]

Ok. I will do dark tarmac craps and light tarmac road.

Double post:

Here is my another WIP. I don't have enough time(I'm doing another tracks too, JEA FTs, etc....) and I'm not so fast like you. (this is my first Rally track) But I'm trying to do my best.
Please comment.
PS. I don't know, how to do horse racing course (in middle of the fence)

[Mad Dan]

maybe try google maps to see how the horse race course looks .
It doesn't look bad . Just a few tips: white lines should be just 1 px wide, try spraying the colors of the field on the field to break the texture a little, maybe the main road should be a bit more narrow, also the river in the bottom left is not so appealing so try to make it more narrow and the shore less repating . It's ok to work this slow, it's still just fine, no pressure .
it's good that you do it carefully because that way you can learn a lot

[FRUKIScze]

Thanks for help with the horse race course. And I agree with you but don't agree with the main, that should be more narrow. If I do it, then will be a big space between main road and bridge. But that's only my view.

[Mad Dan]

you can use two bridges to make it more narrow by creating somekind of sidewalk like here in bottom right

[FRUKIScze]

Oh, that's very nice and simple solution. Thanks

[Otto Wilson]

FRUKIScze, great job you are doing! The broken tarmac texture is great... but i'm afraid that if you use 1 pixel wide lines on the roads they wont be on the centre of the road anymore... if this occurs, it can be fixed by reducing one side of the road by 1px,
Again, no pressure, do your best, and in the end herbal will fix what needed...

Most definitely, that's why FTers are there for.

[FRUKIScze]

Hi all.
I need help. When I do double bridge, because I made main road more narrow, I have this bug. What's wrong?

Hi all.

My guess would be that the bridges are not completely aligned in terms of Hmap. Maybe you could align both "hills" to 90 degrees compared to the bridges giving them the exact Hmap base to stand on. I'm not sure if I have explained myself well...

[TuomoH]

LongBow is 100% right (just beat me to it) - the problem is indeed that the hmap isn't even on the all points of the bridge ends (there's a curve in the hmap which can be seen at least at the bottom right of the bridges).

[FRUKIScze]

Thanks LongBow. I understood you. Problem fixed AFAIK. And thanks TuomoH for trying to make it clear. And why do you not give a try in Joint Effort Rally.

DOUBLE POST:

Today's progress.
I'm going to final. I make main road more narrow, I fix bridge bug, I sprayed field, make some muddy shortcuts, make a hill in finish, and I don't remember what more.
What do you thing and what I should make more?

[FRUKIScze]

!?!?

[Herbal]

The track is a bit too symmetrical, but I guess, I can work on it while making the FTs.

[Bouncebackability]

getting better and better. You need to just add some trees that aren't within the dense forest areas, they look too planned at the moment, but you're probably planning this anyway. Also make the edge of the field less sharp, so it blends into the grass more. Third point would be to add a reason why the road turns back on itself on the left, it was never just built like that because they felt like it.

[FRUKIScze]

Ok. And add here lot of crowds, because is one of Spectator Stages. And what can I should make more?

[Hiawatha]

I think this is the Best rally pack I've ever seen. Nice looking landscape with really unambiguous driving ways. Thank you all trackmakers. Keep up, good work!
