    This is the first Racetrack I ever made for Halotracks and my first "good" map. I made this about six months ago and it helped me pass the Halotracks mapmaker test.

    Map Name: Rampancy 2.5
    Author: PatchworkZombie
    Players: 2-8 racers
    Map Link: Download here
    Gametype Link: Download Here

    I know 90% of people won't read this, they will just skip to the pics.

    Difficulty: medium - Isn't too hard but I wouldn't recommend it to noob racers.

    This track only works with the Halotracks RACETRACKS gametype

    Changes from First Version:
    - Deleted extra money glitched objects.
    - VIP point fixed and totally uncheatable.
    - Bordering slightly improved.
    - Added all eight 'geese.

    Rampancy is a medium sized track that contains:
    - Working Starting gate
    - Continuous double-wide track
    - Uncheatable VIP point
    - Wallrides
    - Banked turns
    - Sharp Corners
    - Ramps

    Run-through:
    You sit in a box made out of walls and fence boxs for 20 seconds, before the starting gate is released and you begin racing. Immediately you are thrown into a huge banked turn that goes around the entire outer-circle of the map. The bank then ends with sharp turn that is quite hard to master. After driving up a steep hill you will reach a unique style bank made out of bridges. The track then ends with a 180 bank and a small ramp with the VIP point, that leads back onto the huge banked turn.

    Author's notes:
    This map is definately my favourite track so far. It's also the first i've ever made. It took about 7 hours to build, and 1 extra to tweak. I did use to feature an alternative ending, where the banked turn led back to the start in a crescent shape, but that was boring and too short, plus I had loads of extra objects. This map helped me through my Halotracks mapmaker application, and i'm very happy with the finished product.

    And the bit you've all been skipping the description for, pics!

    From what I can see this map is amazing. The bridge turn looks like one of the greatest things I have ever seen in a racetrack. I will download this track ASAP nice job.

    AnF Pro Score 5/5

    its a shame that the pictures dont work, but this is a really cool map. the set up you have with the bridges in picture 3 is really innovative, ive never seen it before. ive been thinking about joining halotracks for a while and this map has convinced me i should :D. as for the pictures, i would use photobucket instead of imageshack.

    You should probably add more pictures and make them bigger. But from what I can see it looks fantastic. Nice track. I used to be into this stuff but not much any more so I won't download. I like the interlocking and the turns you have. Love that bridge turn. Sweet and I've never seen it been done before. We could see more if you add some more pics. 5/5

    How to fix your pictures:

    Your problem is that when you were saving the pictures on Bunige.net, you right-clicked and saved the thumbnail, or small preview picture. You are going to need to click on the thumbnail picture to bring up the larger picture and right-click and save that. This should fix your problem. Message me if you need further accidence.

    I would if i were you upload these pictures through photobucket because small images piss me off. But ya the first picture is one of the best images i have seen on a race map displaying what the map looks like. But when i saw the double walls it kind of ruined it for me because i would have loved to see this turned into a simple amazingly interlocked track

    Nice job

    (Don't join Halotracks join BattleTracks.forumotion.net you have a better chance of getting featured.)

    Anyways all i can say is wow this map is the most awesome thing i have seen since -Quasar- i will definetly download and try out before i do anything else. this will probably get featured on Halotracks by the looks of it.

    EDIT: the walls in pic 2 are kinda sharp and may ruin the racing experience for some people.

    Thanks for the comments ^_^
    Oh, and thanks for all the advice about images aswell - i'm going to enlarge those later today using photobucket instead of image shack. Also I just want to say that I left Halotracks a long time ago.

    looks like a sweet looking track. I really like the banked turn made out of bridges. If you're still having problems with the pics, try photobucket. when you put the pics in a thread, they're good sized and i havn't had any problems with photobucket. Good Track 4/5
    *EDIT: crap. sorry. Didn't see others posts. Nvm what i said about photobucket

    I can't understand how this has a three star-rating when almost everyone has commented saying they rated 4 or 5/5. They should probably take the ratings out of threads.
