    ***RE-SUBMITTED***

    RACE 4/12

    *NOTE: THIS IS A NASCAR TRACK. IF YOU DONT LIKE GOING IN CIRCLES/OVALS DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER.*

    This track is raced after it passes the 3 word test:
    Competitive (Is it raceable?)
    Equal (If youre passing, are both cars able to race without a problem?)
    Safe (No way out of the track, no holes/bumps to mess up racing badly)

    Sorry about the bad names. These were named to be system link races, not online.

    ^ Nighttime Track v

    The Bungee 500 (supposed to be Bungie, but you cant put that online and there was already 1 on FH) was designed to be just like a model of the real nasscar tracks. This gets really boring because noone can really gain on anybody here unless they screw up. This is a 1-groove racetrack, meaning if you go anywhere beside that one line, you'll lose time. This is also my first "Nighttime Track", where I set up some effects to turn from day, to sunset, to nightfall. I do realize there are holes on the outside of the corners that mongooses can slip thruogh if left still, which i will patch them up and resubmit this map, I just wanted to post this before I went on vacation. The grass was put there for asthetics only, if you go through there, your lap wont count. This map is really close to 10 seconds, but if raced with 10 laps you should be fine. This is a map that was really lazy on (pit road is bumpy, holes in corners, grass isnt aligned) but bear with me, i will fix them and repost in this topic soon!

    RED = GAMER1824
    Purple = DaGreatSack420
    Brown = captin crunch35
    Green = mud slingin fun

    The Bungee 500, nice during the day, but rough as the sunsets.

    [​IMG]
    Gamer has built a lead in just 1 lap of racing, but a mistake can bring him back.

    [​IMG]
    A mistake that alot of people make is cutting the corner too low Sack here did just that.

    [​IMG]
    The sun begins to set, and i guess Gamer isnt good during the night.

    Last lap, what you have is what you got. Captin and Mud dive into turn 1.

    [​IMG]
    Captin pushes mud into the wall, mud bounces off the wall and captin gets the worst of it, but did it slow those 2 down enough for the others to catch up?

    [​IMG]
    Nope. Nighttime falls and mud blocked Gamer exiting 4 for the win.

    Hints/tips:
    1. Fast way throught the front stretch is to exit 4 near the wall, and start down the track and as soon as you hit the start/finish line, head back up toward the wall.
    2. Inside is the fastest part of track.
    1. DO NOT stop on the oustide of the track, your mongoose can fall through the holes (sry).
    2. Turns 1 and 2 are less rounded than 3 and 4, you gotta give alittle more 'uhmf' in turning through turn 2.

    Ouch, I wish you would have interlocked those wall doubles a bit more. It looks pretty painful. The name Bungie 500 has been done to death. Couldn't you have come up with something a bit more original? I do admire your passion for making oval tracks though. I am a pretty big fan of these types of tracks. Nice work, it seems you are getting a bit closer to perfection.

    I agree with him, the map is kind of...sloppy. b ut that doesn't mean it is bad,b ut it justy could be neater. Try useing the availible methods of merging to give your track a cleaner and smoother feeling when driving and plus, it maps the map itself looks alot better.

    Also, BTW, There is an "i" in Bungie.

    I also agree with him, but i also think the surrounding and the mid - structure looks pretty cool. Using the tin cups in that kind of way is really smart. But next time try to make a finish line because i think a lot of people will cheat this way. A finish line can we easly made by some teleporters (so ppl cant run over the finish) gravity lifs in a horizontal direction <- (so they can only go through from one direction) and a territory like you already did :)

    Yeah, i will be patching the holes with single walls and making the grass more of a line rather than a cloud shape. And the only reason i dont make the teleporter/grav lift finish line, is because the grav lift could mess someone up. What happens if someone hits their mongoose and it flips over and through the finish line? He cant get to it or has to walk around the line and boom, lap down.

    Your right. Grav lifts are old hat. Have you even consider man cannons. Take a look at the map Atomic Raceway. The canons stop cheating and give a soft even boost at any line or angle.

    The track has been re-sumbitted, you f**kers happy? lol jk. I patched the holes and cleaned up pit road. I ran out of grass, so that wont get done. The 1st picture in the post is the new track the rest are tpic's of the old layout.
