Black Racer V1This is my first race map. Basicly you get eaten by a snake. So... PICS NAO!!! The start and first bend. Its a bit bumpy from avalanche's lack of flatness. Through out the track there are gravlifts to make you speed up! ROAR!!! ITS A SNAKE!!!! ... do snakes say roar...? Over view of the snake. The color blind FX is on to make the snake appear Black The mouth. The wall IS merged into the ramps so its smooth. You have to be going fast to make it in. OM NOM NOM NOM!!!! The snakes "exit." You get a boost from a man cannon when u come out. Then the track loops around and you do it again. ~Download Black Racer~ can i haz comments?
Very nice can't wait to play it again I like what u added to it. 98.65% over all I wish I could drive it with a warthog. Everbody should dl. Dave guy are u r tarded do u ride the short bus like I ride ur mom. Heyoooooo. Don't post about a maps smoothness if u didn't even download it !!!!!
I personally love race tracks, but does this contain merging (interlocking) because if it doesn't the whole track won't be smooth, and also I dont like the idea of a single wide part! 2/5
yes it merged! wow, did u look at it? im sorry, but this was truly a stupid post. the whole start and bend and the whole snake has been interlocked!!! I EVEN SAID "The wall IS merged into the ramps so its smooth." and im sorry for it bing wide, next time ill tell bungie to give me some more double boxes and to make the open ones much bigger...
once I get in the snakes mouth do I go into the boxes or on top of them? either way I'm not sure it's smooth =/ i'l dl and try it out
Haha this is a cool idea, however, I tihnk it's more aesthetic than a race map. I Know its not your fault that open boxes have the skinniest doors ever. I'm not faulting you for that. I'm just saying, if you're an AMAZING mongoose driver, you can drive through this course without bouncing off every wall in it. Regardless, it's virtually impossible to pass people. Nearly every race would end up with a pile of mongeese (or mongooses, or something) in the snake's belly, and then people giving up hope. It would be a cool kind of technical course for a single player, racing for record times or something like that. But the snake really does look pretty cool, and I think it's definately worthy of an aesthetic map post. The fact that it's all driveable could just be a cool as hell bonus. All in all, the snake looks pretty cool. The map in and of itself looks pretty winsauce, but it doesn't seem to really be a playable racecourse. As a race map, 3/5. Aesthetic, 3.75/5.
Sorry, don't have a stress, other than the actual floating are on the pics it doesnt look like there is much interlocking, that's why I asked!
thx jeten. crap! only 98%! a warthog wouldnt work in the belly but it would be fun, lol. HEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thx for the support
That's really original. Being eaten by a snake? Wow! It's a very neat and organized track too. I look forward to playing this more competitively with a buch of friends soon.
i know what you mean. i only put in 3 mongooseses (...) which is more than enough. its hard to get past some one but before the snake, its open and after the snake its open. thx for the feed back though. maybe a 1 on 1 race or (like you said) a time trial thing would work best.
I downloaded this before posted okay? Anyway its a little bumpy at the beginning as you said but the idea of being eaten by a snake! thats original i mean i would say this is a map like 3.5/5 because of the bumps. Heyoo
Ok, I'm going to have to side with Dave. The whole point of the pics of the map are to make people want to download the map. If this is in the racetrack section, I am going to assume that it is the most fun racing on the map, rather than looking at the features. The pictures you've posted show no sense of interlocking what so ever to make the track smooth. I like the idea, it looks cool, but on the racing aspect it doesn't look smooth at all.
replying to an idiot... -_- not smooth, i know. that might have been the reason i put the "V1" after the name. this thread was to show the concept. its a rough draft (V1).
It is bumpy, but if you would fix all of the bumps, it would be cool. The other problem I had is that its so SHORT, no offense, but you didn't use like three fourths of your materials. It IS an awesome map, just try to make it longer next time. (By the way, keep making them on Avalanche!... Damn foundry maps.)
I think you should make the snake look more like a dragon, idk why, maybe it is because the tail or whatever looks like a spikey tail or something. As for the track, it looks fairly decent, not the best, but a very very good idea. It seems as though the double boxes also aren't linked very well. 4/5
