Oops

[StickShift]

Great find!

[OssieFan]

Great game, only just over 1mb to download!

[Bjorn]

The best part is that you can easily make your own sound scemes

I made one using GPL engine and skidding sounds... schweeeet!

[Linus27]

I loaded it up, selected players and then it asked me to select a track but there was none to select.

[Jake2002]

How do you make your own sounds? Great game, big fun.

[Bjorn]

Linus: USER ERROR probably...
There should be a Tracks folder somewhere.. and the Track names appear in a box below the driver selection screen (12 tracks).
If not, try downloading it again

Jake: It's very simple: in the sound folder there are two subfolders. Default and Funny. You can change between the two soundscemes in the options menu.
To add a new soundscheme, just create a new subfolder! You need 5 soundfiles:
Damage.wav -> The sound you hear when you hit something
Ding.wav -> The countdown sound at the lights and the sound you hear when you start the final lap
Engine.wav -> The engine
Skid.wav -> Skid sound
Yeah.wav -> Sound played when the winner crosses the line and at the end of a season.

I just made a copy of the Default folder and replaced the sounds one by one 'till I found some I liked. Try this one to start with, that's the engine sound I'm using: http://www.hi.is/~bjornkri/Engine.wav

Know what would be cool for this game? A track editor!

[Bjorn]

:up:

[StickShift]

Damnit Bjorn! You got me addicted to this game !


I made a F1 carset to use in my championship. I zipped them up if you want them. Download them here (3.00Kb, yes a measly 3kb... )

[PeppeF1]

Oh Man, what a cool game!

I really looking forward to a version where you can go head to head with a mate on the sam keyboard. I hope the author will develope more in this game, it`s so cool...

[PeppeF1]

Sorry, i saw that you could race with a friend on the same keyboard right now, but it would be nice with a track editor and possibilty race via multiplayer (internet)...

[Jake2002]

Thanks Bjorn, worked perfectly, I used the F12002 engine sound. Great game.

[Kiwi]

Great game!

I completely suck at it however - have to turn the computer AI down to 40% to even get a look in!

The game is about one month old, I'm sure there will be trackeditor soon!
Bjorn: You should let game makers know about your sound patch! It's awesome!

[AlesiUK]

i downloaded it but it wont work

when i try to open it i get a message saying a required .DLL file,DINPUT8.DLL was not found??

[Bjorn]

Got DirectX 8? :

Not sure, that's the only thing I can think of right now

that's it, my colleague had the same problem. AlesiUK, get directx from www.microsoft.com/directx

[AlesiUK]

ok thanx,al try that,im sure i have directx 8 already,but it is not unknown for me to be wrong.

[AlesiUK]

guess what?i was wrong!Downloading it now,cant get 8.1 as i only got windows 95 .

o/t,but will directx8 improve the performance of other games like GP3?

[A3]

dunno if it'll improve gp3, long time since I played games on win95.

[Psychoman]

I keep hitting things! Help meeeeeeee... (smack! )

[StickShift]

Good/Bad news everybody! (I think the good is better). I sent an E-mail via the feedback/comment link; I said just how awesome the game is and so on. Anyway I asked about a Track Editor and Multiplayer, this was his reply.

Hi,

Track editor exists and we will release it in few weeks.
Online multiplayer mode would be nice, but there's this problem with lag. In this type of game even smallest amount of lag would pretty much take the fun out of it, i think. Maybe some sort of online play mode is possible, but that's not going to happen any time soon, unfortunately.

BTW, your message was first that came outside of finland, and it's only a week after we posted the game to a finnish gaming site (www.suomipelit.com). The game is spreading a lot faster than i thought it would.

[Bjorn]

Arse!

Uploaded the wrong file yesterday, that was the default sound..

try this one: http://www.hi.is/~bjornkri/Engine.wav

Stupid IE cache... if you're still getting the same sound, try this:

http://www.hi.is/~bjornkri/Engine2.wav

And then rename it to Engine.wav...

[AlesiUK]

what an amazing game!so simple yet so fun and addictive

i suck big time at it tho,i have to put the computer cars to 25 to beat them! DOH

cant wait for the track editor

[mach4]

Great game! Thanks

It's not too hard if you learn the tracks. I can beat the AI at 100% on Agari. My current best time there is 8.45 on the Formula car.

How's everyone elses lap times?

EDIT: my lap time was with 0% tyre wear, 0% fuel consumption, 0% damage, and 0 kg of fuel. This way the car performance is always the same.

[mahelgel]

really cool game.. and adictive too

[AlesiUK]

im getting better,i race championship over all 12 tracks,with 10 lap races,50% tyre wear,30% fuel consumption,50kg fuel weight and 10% damage.i race against 5 other cars and can win the title with the AI on 35% with formula cars and with karts.

[GNic]

Great game.

[AlesiUK]

Mach4,at agari with the settings u mention i managed 8.47.pretty close.

[Bjorn]

8.47 at Agari too
How about Bytes? I've got a 9.79 there

[StickShift]

What car you guys using, the Formula car?

[StickShift]

8.97 at Agari, using the default the default tires/fuel/damage settings.

[Bjorn]

Yeah, Formula car.

Just got an 8.64 with the default settings on Agari

[Tommy]

8.93 at Agari
10.08 at Bytes

formula car

damn those AI cars are fast!

[Dolph]

What's the difference between different cars?

[A3]

8.89 at Agari

[karlth]

8.67 Agari, default everything.

Brilliant game. Amputated fingers coming up.

I wrote to the developers and they are considering adding a qualifying session to the race.

[A3]

Does anyone use the brake at all with this game?

[Psychoman]

What's the difference between different cars?

They all handle differently--for example, the Yankee is supposed to be like a stock car...

[StickShift]

I just lift.

[Bjorn]

Yeah, and to see how different they are, try a Truck vs. Formula car at Snoogy.. All the cars have very different strengths any weaknesses, the truck has massive grip in the snow (my record there is 8.44)

[Ferrari Boy]

how do you change cars??? i cant find that option????

otherwise great game
