    New video of the racetrack!: Zevox a sandbox racetrack


    This map took me around 3 weeks to complete although I worked on it like not even half of those days for various reasons. It plays best with my gametype chaos racing which is basically battle lasers and snipes with a few more tweaks. This map uses all the possible money (except for like 1 dollar or something lol) and has a ton a bank turns. The first one is a wave turn into a glide drop, Then a smooth bank (normal), then it goes under and over itself into a giant bank turn. This leads up to a huge jump that you will not ever fail unless you try to lol. The last turn is a drift turn or a sheild door turn (whichever you preffer). All my friends liked it (like you care) and I bet you will too. And if you play it make sure you play it with the gametype for it!
    Pics:

    Jump and drift bank of awesomeness (don't worry it is super smooth)

    wow this looks great! looks like fun! i like the lazer and snipe idea, but i bet battletracks(invincible vehicles and rockets) would be great on this. merging looks smooth, love the look of the map, all the banking and stuff.
    5/5! youve got a dl from me!

    This racetrack looks really well done, but I want a picture showing the whole track.

    haha lol. Also for battletracks you don't want invincible vehicles becuase then you couldn't kill the people...

    Thanks for the comments so fast.. lol

    Great map. I love all of the merging and banks. It makes it look like a go-kart track almost. i DL'd and will use this with many of my friends. Good map. 5/5.

    When I played, the gravity lifts REALLY slowed you down. Perhaps removing them in a V2?

    NO. The grav lifts are essential to keep control, as there is a steep drop there. The grav lifts are perfectly placed.

    Dude. This map rocks. Smooth turns and hills. A nice little jump. Shield doors placed well to aid in the turns. And you even added scenery to complement the beauty of the track. Nice. I had to do two games on this because once just wasn't enough. The only suggestion I have is to add more bordering or shield doors on that first turn since you catch a little bit of air there. Other than that, spectacular map.

    Alright thanks cool guys. So I take it you like it? lol. Just keep the comments comming lol.

    Also Shaddo I might make some adjustments later or something but I think this is good. If you haven't tried cheating I would do it because the death elastic barrier thing is sweet. You are in between the sky bubble and the main floor and you have 5 seconds to live before you die lol. I was a little concerned about catching that air on the first bank which you said. But I never flew off of the actual track so I though it was fine. I just added the sheild door so you could use it if you want to.

    This map is awesome! I like this map alot becuase you have firged very smoothly, but for some reason i get the feeling while racing that it is bumpy and a little hard to get control of my mongoose. Do'nt get me wrong, I LOVE this feeling. Too many racemaps are to easy and smooth. I especially love yours becuase it's an even mix between the two. When i first raced on this map i raced on it for ten minutes staight in forge becuase i liked it so much. Great job and keep making maps! 4.9/5

    Thanks, man. I know what you mean by a little bumby which I noticed to a little while I was testing it. I like it too. Also yes I did make some "slide" parts where you don't have total control to give the feel that you are drifting which is sweet. I made this map for total funness! lol

    Yeah when i was with you when you were making it i noticed it a little too that is was bumpy in some places. I love it though when it is there some becuase you think you're going to fall off but you don't lol. I love this map though the layout for battletracks and racetracks is epic winzorz! 4.9/5 from me lol =)

    This reminds me of the Halo 2 modded race tracks on Containment. Very nice. I could never understand how you interlock so smooth in the air like that.

    I will have to check out Forging 101 to see how to.

    DL for me

    5/5

    To interlock smooth in midair like that what you have to do is make it not spawn at start and make sure you have guides to where that object was such as something floating under it or receiver nodes on top of it which is what I do. To make it float hold it in midair and save and end the game and when you go back it will be floating there.

    In other news I just added a video of the track!

    I hope you guys liked the video. Chaos if you make another track you can request a song like ShaddoBlade did.


    Uhh? Lopsided? What map are you talking about? Because it isn't this one.

    What are you talking about lopisided I make tracks that are fu nand work really well. It isn't lopisided lol (mabey a little but what track isn't a little lopisided lol). Also I said in the post that this is made as a battletracks map becuase of all the lines of sight it offers and the amazing satisfaction when you laser someone going off of the jump lol

    As for DRST I will have to do that then lol. I just got an idea and just barely started my new race map which will go through it's self quite a bit and will have alot of cool stuff lol =)
