I also think kart tracks are the best.

I am going to have a go at Sandown so don't do that unless you really want to.

By the way, this game really does rock and is so adictive. Many thanks for it. Can we have a man waving the chequer flag at the end?

[krakbuis]

one question about the Editor, how can I rotate the items (like stands, buildings, pit etc)?
I've made some fun tracks, but need to figure this one out.

[mach4]

I've made a banked oval based on Kutford and using the import hmap feature. There are still some bumps on the track surface but I think it makes for some interesting racing. And pit stop strategies can really change your race on this one.

Banked Oval

beware: this track was done pretty quickly and it's not nearly as refined as the other tracks I've seen here. Maybe I'll fix all the little details later and post an updated version.

Right click and move the mouse to rotate the objects.

[krakbuis]

Thanks, should have figured that out myself :

[AlesiUK]

Linus,i dont know sandown so i wont be doing that one,i am trying to do Kimbolton,i have a map of the track as well as my memory,but it is proving very difficult.

Also if someone could please tell me how i get my tracks from my editor to the web i would be greatfull

[AlesiUK]

ok i have hopefully managed to upload a pic of my track,so here goes:

please let that work!

EDIT:@:?>!%& stupid computer

ok,if you go here:http://www.geocities...siuk27/face.doc

you should see the track.

I simply had to prove that it was possible to make perfectly smooth banked corners and I now have to admit to making an oval, (well tri-oval actually and you drive it clockwise ) and I think I came quite close:

I've now released the Hungaroring.

I've made it wider than Melbourne, hopefully, so racing is possible but the overally layout is accurate.

Enjoy! http://rocksgr.cjb.net

Thank you all guys for proving an old point of mine: The most realistic game is not necessarily the most fun !

I used to play Star Raiders on my old Atari 800 and I have never been able to play something that fun again. GeneRally ? It ****ing frustrates me ! I am somehow unable to figure out when to use right and left... but that is only me being clumsy, the game is excellent !!!

I've now released Monaco!

The AI, as you can imagine, took ages but now they don't crash and laptimes are aroud 20s.

Monaco is devilishly difficult

[jhodges]

This game is amazing!!!!!

Great work to all of you track-makers, and especially grally!!!!!

...my fingers hurt......

Great game... I put in a bunch of AI drivers named after F1 drivers (of course ) and well... I can't beat the Schumacher I created. Go figure.


Anyway, I'm gonna try to create some tracks for this little gem...

[UPRC]

Uhhh... My tracks are disgraces. (Montreal, Mugello, Suzuka)

Please tell me you were drunk when you created those.

[UPRC]

Like I said... A disgarce.

No, they were my first attempts at creating tracks.

I'm having more fun now that I've got the Import Land thingy figure out and what not.

[KinetiK]

Thanks for this thread, I've wasted much of the weekend racing "Senna", "Schumacher" and "Prost" with occasional beatings upon "Yoong" and "Rosset" to build self confidence!;)

I found this track on the GeneRally track page, it's brilliant in its apparent ease of driving and it's obvious beauty ...don't let the fact that it's a superspeedway oval dissuade you from racing on it. It's mega fun, even though you dont' have to lift at all driving the Formula car on it but I would recommend racing the McTurbos on the track, it's quite challenging with that particular car.

Suzuka is the best of that lot!

The other 2 I think I could guess at being Montreal & Mugello...but Suzuka??? To be fair, based on my efforts I doubt I could do better..but then I wouldn't be stupid enough to post them here to be mocked

[The Sensational]

Guys, I must admit I have yet to read all the replies to this thread, because it's so long, but would anyone be interested in my making a website for this game with all the tracks you guys make and such?

Send me a PM if you'd be interested in seeing this happen.

That would be convenient

[UPRC]

Why?

If I'm not mistaken, the GeneRally site has 300+ tracks.

[Bjorn]

Well, with so many utter crap tracks out there*, maybe a Quality Track site could be started. Every track submitted would undergo rigorous tests, based on a set standard that would be followed to the letter, no exceptions. Too much work for me, but I could see a site like that being useful.

*like impossible to reach pits, no starting grid, reversed starting grid, bad AI, pit crews turning the wrong way around, badly placed checkpoints, pits where you have to drive through every pit crew, and therefore any cars currently pitting, tracks where you don't know which way to drive unless you follow the AI... the list is endless. Lots of people don't know how to make tracks, but still try and release them without even testing them (apparently) and then ask you to think of all the 'hard work they've put into it'. Sheesh.

[SB]

I'm a newbie on this great game.

And I would like to ask one question - I've seen the demo pictures here with several cars racing on the track. But I only can drive my car alone as "testing" mode, how can I change to "competiton" mode ? Thanks a lot !

SB

[thornwell]

Bjorn, here's an idea.

I will donate the programming (and web host space) of a page that can be maintained by someone other than me of a db-driven site that keeps track of track titles, authors and links to the track at it's downloadable location.

I think this would probably be best. Have someone (or some people) who plays the game frequently commit to testing tracks before they are mentioned on the site page.

[PeppeF1]

Which programs do you guys use when creating tracks?

[StickShift]

MS paint

[thornwell]

Here is the link to my first published track. I thought you all might like it, but I would really like some criticism. I did test it many times, and I think it is suitable for release.

I'd post a screen shot, but unfortunately I am too lazy to get any imaging software on this PC.

Maybe later on tonight I'll edit this post, and one then. I do think you'll have fun on this track.

[Bjorn]

Hehe, thanks but the programming/hosting would be the least of problems for me anyway. It's the testing of tracks and making of standards that's time consuming, and time I have not

SB, you need to create more drivers (just as you created yourself, however make sure you create "computer" racers) then add them to the race.

[UPRC]

I have 1 GB for a website I don't think I'll work on... I might be able to use that to help you.

[Sir Frank]

Awesome game

Is it just me or the computer simulated cars are stronger, when colliding?
It feels that I get airborne and pushed out so easily whereas its really difficult to push them out.

THE COMPUTER IS CHEATING!!!!

Time to revive this thread ....before the winter no-racin' blues sets in.

Bjorn & Thornwell,

Myself and a few other people started a site which collects quality tracks as you two mentioned (check the GR CART2002 season for the level of quality I am looking for). But as you also mentioned, having the free time is the problem.. so I haven't been able to make or even screen the F1 tracks that are available out there.

Soo, if any of you make quality F1 tracks and/or run across any, let me know please so I can put them up ...and play with'em .

That's very cool

[Tedminator]

Glad you like it So this means you'll be telling me about some good F1 tracks soon?



Hmm.. in fact I'll work on putting up the F1 page later this week since I already have about 3 or 4 tracks I've test driven that made the grade.
