Official GeneRally feature request list

[Lukeno94]

I would call for a better method of lighting and such, to get rid of some of the glitches car models often create. And also this would probably solve the bug I'm experiencing in my full-sized Class 153 (see the car previews thread), but more wheel support (I don't think unlimited is possible, or really a good idea, 8-10 max for GeneRally feel) is a very good idea.

We definitely need more colour support, a 256 colour palette is surely doable without any major recoding, other than to actually use those colours?

[Martyn]

I think a bigger HMAP would be awesome

[cslickz]

so what happens to all these requests? (especially the one about more cars like 12 cars instead of 6)

[Trigger Happy]

They are read by developers and taken in consideration for new features in future improvement of the game.

ooh okay so do you think its possible to have more cars or is that not a viable move as the game has always been 6 cars

[Trigger Happy]

I'm not developer, I don't know the answer.

[Lukeno94]

If the developers want a train model, I can send them my Class 153, which they could simply alter the length of and number of wheels and reconfigure the model as an object - that must be possible somehow.

My requests include:

(1) Highlight (e.g. bold) realized updates (e.g. Armco barrier, Lower office buildings) in the request list in the first post of this topic. Also the game version can be mentioned.
(2) Expand the statistics (race result, championship standings) after the race:
(2.a) The driver's lap record can be included in the race statistics. Replace driver's lap record in favour of lap time of the last lap in the status bar after crossing the finish line.
(2.b) Include navigation buttons or assign left/right arrows on keyboard. Sometimes I want to see the race result, but can't do this because I already continued to championship standings.
(2.c) Include a lap journal (highlight personal/overall best lap time).
(3) Include game version in main menu, e.g. in the top-right corner next to Generally label

Other requests are already in the list. My favourite is "Speed limiter checkpoint pits"

[TuomoH]

Replace driver's lap record in favour of lap time of the last lap in the status bar after crossing the finish line.

The best lap time of the race is already seen in the status bar after crossing the finish line, not the last lap.

[Trigger Happy]

He meant it opposite, I guess, ''replace the record lap by displaying the time of last lap in the race''.

[Bouncebackability]

he is saying that after the finish of the race, currently it shows the drivers best lap of the race, and there is no way to see the laptime of the final lap. so instead of putting the PB in the bottom bar, put it in the race results screen.

Oh yes, I think you and Ivo are right, now that I read the sentence again. Not a bad suggestion - I've actually been thinking this myself as well. Maybe the best laps of each driver could be next to their race results then.

[SGroe]

In short: I want to see the lap time of the last lap.

[Lukeno94]

Perhaps it should show that, but in brackets underneath it should show the fastest lap? If that is workable at all.

[Lukeno94]

Double post, but a new request after my fail: when you delete tracks or track folders from GeneRally, as I just did, could they go to the recycle bin, or have an option that such things do that, so when idiots like me hit delete instead of delete track, you don't lose everything?

[andrew2209]

May seem a bit trivial, but could we have an intro sequence when you start the game, like them ones on older vodeo games.

[Rebellion765]

Would be good if some new objects appears:
*Tire barrier
*Pit Building
*High Wall
*Cars (Importing *.car data of your choice)
*Train line
*Brick Wall
*Stairs
*Grandstand
Nevertheless, it is important to keep the arcade style of GeneRally. The ideas presented at the start of the topic are good, but many of them would change the game entirely, and there would never be the GeneRally we love.

[Rendy]

And can we have an object in which when the object is hit, it'll act just like the traffic cones we see everyday...

Ah, screw my vocab, I want that.

I pretty much agree with them apart from train line where you could just edit the lmap in ms paint, and aren't the grandstands just another name for stands?

Grandstands are the double floor stands, without the use of Hmap to raise then.

[Lukeno94]

Train-lines as an object aren't a bad idea as they aren't level, flat objects in real life (unlike a road) but we might also want a train station object as well, so...

[Hiken17]

i'd like to see the skip marks performed still there the next timeyou open the circuit and i agree with rendy's suggestion

[Lukeno94]

Not sure that's possible, I can't think of any game that does that, and it's not very arcade-like anyway - plus it defeats the whole point of having two tarmac grips on a heavily-worn track.

[XYY]

It might be nice to have the windowed GR centered in the screen when starting. When I start it, I only see the half screen, that's very annoying

[Lukeno94]

That's very true, and it also seems to randomly move around sometimes at startup?
