Official GeneRally feature request list

[Trigger Happy]

why, if it would be just optional for new-version tracks too?

[Lukeno94]

Ah, I misunderstood what he meant by it all being white by default xD

I don't know what exactly has been asked for online playing but here's my vision of the thing:
-Client Version of the game
The client connects to the server with it's IP address... Like in many other games, you just have to setup your game to connect to Hamachi or another program of the kind which connects to the server... This way it makes both LAN and web playing possible and easy
-Server Version
This version look forward people don't cheat and things a server do normally... It also records the issue of each race in a local database. A username is needed (player name in-game) to store as well as the IP of the driver... Would be cool too if clients could connect to server just to see stats and things... Off course, the server has kicking/banning options...

That's about it... I hope you get the point... It is IMHO the most multivalent option...

[Ryumi]

How about this? (about gameplay)
-Proportional downforce value to car's current speed.

[Mad Dan]

What about to show timing in Time trial mode? There is plenty of space at the blue bar . It would be good to have it for example competitions because you would know if you are fast enough or not

[XYY]

at least times after each checkpoint ^^ and maybe also an update of player's position at each checkpoint

[Alex]

GR really needs to have a faster loading time when loads of cars and tracks are put into the game. My folder is about 300mb big and takes roughly 2 minutes to load. About 10 cars in GTR2 is about 300mb and it only takes GTR2 seconds to load.

[OlafK]

I think you need a faster HDD, my GR folder has 380 MB and GeneRally launches in ~2 seconds.

[Lukeno94]

Nothing to do with HDD speed, despite my 7200 rpm and decent amount of cache - my game can take ages to start up, although that is because the track files are compressed and would be 1 GB uncompressed xD

[The MNZ]

AFAIK the game recognize as kerb red lines. So what about a "object kerb" or else lower sunk tyres?

[Lukeno94]

I think Paw's and my ideas on the subject of kerbs are better than object-based kerbs - don't see what those would achieve

[The MNZ]

Another thing: Two types of invisible awalls: soft(to avoid escape from racing area) and hard (Landmap Buildings)

[Lukeno94]

That one is a very good idea.

[XYY]

What about this idea:you can make your own cursors. I had this idea especially as you can modificate everything else in this game.... maybe as a bmp and clarifying a "hotspot" in your main directory...

[The MNZ]

Yes, i loved the old one...

[cslickz]

Would it be possible to have more cars like lets say 10 or 12?

[The MNZ]

Read on page 6 about it.

[Lukeno94]

How about making a train that was modified from the pedestrian bridge as an object? Chop out the bottom supports, tweak the looks slightly, add wheels and make it have random colours, and then that would be great.

[Alex]

Or even have object vehicles instead of having to make them from lmap/boats and booths.

[Lukeno94]

You can draw LMAP cars and use invisible walls Although I think shorter versions of the invisible walls might be a good idea, as well as object vehicles.

[Bouncebackability]

...and you can draw lmap trains, but i dont want to.

Oh for a car object!

[Lukeno94]

True, but my thinking is that there's already an object which could look a train with very small modifications

[Bouncebackability]

ah that is very true

[The MNZ]

More two:
1-The primary and secondary car colors don't be the 0-7 indexes on palettes, be the 193-194.
2-Unlimited wheel number, especifying the position(Front left, rear-center, middle-right...)

[Alex]

(...Unlimited wheel number, especifying the position(Front left, rear-center, middle-right...)

Definitely. We could make Bulldozers, Tanks even the Ferrari 312T8 and Tyrell P34 with ease if this was in the game.
