Bumper Car Exploitation Thread: Put your gun in the bin, we race now - Games

Man why is this thread so dead most of the time? This saddens me. Though I'll help by posting more stuff! The Blue Falcon's model is done, and Punchy is making a texture right now. So it'll be done in a day or two I hope [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/547513665754475823/500B4EDE163B94764B40149532A66A32CFB4BB26/[/t] [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/547513665754473922/D609A6FB71CDBE88DC82126705AF1702B5CD6C26/[/t] [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/547513665754474876/F885963E88F1AF0083159CB64CEB8740FEB61425/[/t] [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/547513665754471652/52509E7CCFED3884C2523ADBFD2684D305A76095/[/t] Also there's this, courtesy of PrettyBoySwagg on Steam: [video=youtube;NAhc6j69uQ0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAhc6j69uQ0[/video] Mute City is also a WIP, and I'm helping him make map props for it. Big Blue is also in the works, and I'm hoping both end up good and fun to play

so, i've been working on a custom car model for a server, but turns out that it was for nothing because you can't do that. [t]http://puu.sh/cO0gM/124d74ae93.jpg[/t][t]http://puu.sh/cO0xp/d18fa26ec4.jpg[/t][t]http://puu.sh/cO0zJ/0556b659c8.jpg[/t]

For Medic, he should either be driving an ambulance or a wedding van.

Current state of my map: [t]http://s28.postimg.org/6n380n1ez/screenshot_280.png[/t] [t]http://s28.postimg.org/wiwvrzmi3/2014_11_12_00001.jpg[/t] [t]http://s28.postimg.org/7oddxx1nv/2014_11_12_00002.jpg[/t] Got the boost pads working too.

Still waiting on the finished Blue Falcon texture, but I had an idea for the promo: [t]http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd305/zombieplasticclock/SHOWYOMOVES_zpsec3108be.jpg[/t]

Well I've released a beta for my N.Gineer Labs Map [url]http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?p=313918[/url] The drive to actually make this releasable was very small since the whole bumper car racing thing has died. Hopefully more maps and consistent mechanics in them will raise the popularity. I wonder if it will even hit one of those racing servers. I still need to test this map with more than 5 people and that seems unlikely to happen.

Engi should ride a mobile lawn chair.

[del]I think he might have lost the drive too, but IMO it goes both ways, if he'd polished it more it would remain popular. The only reason I'm not karting there anymore is that there are only few maps, two of which I have issues playing on (boosters on volcano don't show up due to my config hiding decals and the basic proof of concept map is too long and too boring). For how barebones it is I think I've spent quite a bit of time there though, it's a lot of fun. Just needs work.[/del] Actually no I'm talking bullshit, work is being done, new powerups and maps. Might be a lack of promotion. Either way -> [url=http://steamcommunity.com/id/InstantMuffin]InstantMuffin[/url] send your map to this person.

Actually InstantMuffin ninja'd you and came to me first. I might be able to get it compatible with tf2kart. The map will need some changing to accommodate the cart speed and I'll also need to put in all the stuff the plugin needs. Would be nice.

So is TF2Kart. :p If anyone is interested in mapping for TF2Kart, please add me on Steam. I have a googledoc ready with an overview of how things can be done, including example vmfs and prefabs.

[/QUOTE] Yeah, I'll try to bug Valve again, still no word except for someone promising me to let the tf2team know. [QUOTE=Killbane;46424613]Whats the best width for tracks, 512hu?[/QUOTE] We use track widths of 700-800, everything smaller is too narrow. Also, a video of a very early TF2Kart version before loads of improvements, fixes and even more powerups: [video=youtube;z-_VHRtfl0I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-_VHRtfl0I[/video] Might do a more recent video at some point.

[QUOTE=perrryz;46472944]so, i've been working on a custom car model for a server, but turns out that it was for nothing because you can't do that. -snip-[/QUOTE] Theres various ways to apply custom bumper car models, however, the way they're applied with the condition doesn't work well regardless. The model with that method is unable to be derendered when passing areaportals, so they simply stay in place when someone else's playermodel stops rendering. The areas where the condition is applied in doomsday don't have any areaportals at all, so they don't break there. That's why you see people riding invisible vehicles on custom servers. For our gamemode, we compile the vehicle model into the playermodel. It lets us have custom animations and prevents the player from driving an invisible car when driving through areaportals.

N.Gineer Labs now available to race on at Sticed, see OP for IP.

time for moar maps [video=youtube;lzvK2kMoawI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzvK2kMoawI[/video]

[QUOTE=Larry'sNod;46524527]Engi should ride a mobile lawn chair.[/QUOTE] engi should have a sentry cart, with the disc shape of the top of a lvl 1 sentry turned into a seat

I'd really like to see maps based on classic TF2 maps like Badlands (as mentioned on the first page) or Granary. Foundry isn't that old but still could make a great map.

When you remove the fence right before the last cap area, Upward becomes a beautiful karting map.

I can picture a few areas in Thunder Mountain to be great areas for kart racing, too
