Sweet track man. I can't wait until the Mythic Maps come out, this track will be one of the first I try out on Sandbox.
This track is very good. I really like the aesthetic value of the pyramid. The transition between flat track and banked turns is good. I never got slowed down when I raced on this and all of your shield doors are placed perfectly. The jump through the pyramid is perfect and this is overall a very good race map. 5/5
This looks awesome, i like the pyramid idea. The best part in my opinion is that it looks like you could really race on this and it is asctheticly pleasing. I've seen really cool racetracks that would only work for one player. This looks like it would be great to race on. I'll DL and try it when i get home from my hockey tournament.
I've started making a version 2. The start is now after the objective and I'm adding more bordering and making the wooden bank better. Also how do I get the prefix on my map? I can't edit it in.
I raced on this today vs. Orangeremi just to get a feel for it and see if its at least drivable. My god that first jump is perfect, I tried it at least 20 times and didn't even risk a flip. The track is generally smooth and your strategic placement of the fence walls made for good turns (amateurs get straightened right away, pros get an extra speed boost). However there were a few things that bugged me. 1) The most glaring issue, was as LIGHTS said, the wooden banked turn, it was EXTREMELY rough and caused a problem every time I encountered it during my races. 2) The jump that launches you over the initial spawn (nice idea btw) catches the back end of my mongoose about 50% of the time resulting in an overturn/crash. I can usually counteract upcoming flips and crashes by driving backwards in midair so that my momentum is slowed when I hit the ground (which I was prepared to do on your first jump, but it was unnecessary), but it didnt work on this, since there isn't enough push off the jump. its more of a flat-drop if anything and it causes MINOR problems. 3) the spawn itself is iffy. It isn't really fair for the back drivers nor is it safe for the front drivers because there is a gap straight ahead offa the round start. I literally got pushed off the edge within 5 seconds of starting the game. True this could be avoided by playing with trusted people, but stil, and that doesnt fix the first problem, although most race tracks don't make it fair to begin with. All in all though, its an amazingly smooth race map (for the most part) and I look forward to an updated version in the future.
I was thinking about making a race track like this a while ago except a little bit different but its a very nice map and i like it a lot uhhh i say 4/5
I have fixed most of these problems in the version 2 I'm making. I made the wooden bank even out on both sides but it's still a little rough. That part is just really difficult to make right but it is better. The jump over the spawn is now more smoother. The spawns are now also after the big jump so you can't cheat by dying. There is no starting gate anymore. I also added bordering with whatever objets I had where needed. Version will be up tomorrow.
as in theres no gap any longer? :C that made things fair. otherwise its a matter of whom spawns first. no matter. as for the wooden bank...you guys dont have anything else to make it out of?
I felt that a comment on your map was necessary after just playing on it several times. By far this is truly one of my favorite racetracks on Sandbox. The overall smoothness is flawless with little exceptions. As previously stated I do have to agree that there has only two things wrong or just little things that can be fixed to be improve your map. Such as the transition coming back to the start of the map and the start of the map can easily be improved. The transition is just a little bit bumpy when coming back to the beginning of the map and it is quite annoying being pushed off at the start. Overall Sky Pyramid is truly a fun filled racetrack and I'm definitely looking forward to version two.
There's nothing really better to use than the wood because I used all the other objects elsewhere and I can't spawn more.
It's not that the map is bad... if i had made it I would probably be extremely proud of myself for doing it... but it's just that I've seen some crazy intense race maps out there and compared to those it's just average, but good job and keep up the forging.
Version 2 is now up. I fixed all the problems people were having. Halo 3 File Details The spawns are now after the objective. There is no longer a gate because people could get pushed off, there are lights though. The wooden bank now evens out on both sides. The drop at the front of the pyramid is a lot smoother. More bordering has been added where needed.
i played it, and its incrediable how i didnt even find 1 bump, or one thing wrong with the map, i liked to fall off the course on purpose, but i dont know why
just downloaded it. Very good, but why does it keep saying "Destination Moved" every 10 seconds, but it stays in the same place?
That's how racing works. You get a point for every lap. It has to move though or you can't get another point.
One of my friends has built just a pyramid its not a race track but he managed to do it perfectly without the block effect which looks better but this is still an amazing race track. Well done
Yeah I could have done that too but it would have taken way too many objects. I just have the cheap effect of angled blocks by having a single wedge on each corner.
it looks like an adventure roller coaster the pyramid all it did would make the map look awesome i think halotracks would like it
Wow, this looks a lot better than the first pic. I really like the look of this map, so I'm going to use it for SergeantSarcasm's TGIF, if that's okay. His TGIF'll be very interesting; you could consider the TGIF as a test. Is the track hard, easy? How difficuly is it?
