I wanted to upload my first track to stkaddons.net and i got this message

Failed to create temporary directory for upload: /data/web/5b/eb/7c/stkaddons.net/tmp/uploads/1366736879-spaceship-track.tar.gz/
I had the same error with a .zip archive

The size of the track 12.0 MB

Here I have an image from my track

Hi,

I have forwarded this issue to our addons website specialist, you should get a response soon!

Hey this track looks really cool !

I cleaned up a bunch of files on the web server - disk space was getting full. Your upload should work now.

(We can always request more space from TuxFamily if we need it later)

I agree with you !

The problem is solved, the upload works now, i uploaded the track and now it has to be approved
i also have uploaded the src-files, so someone could do changes, like deleting/adding or moving bananas, boxes and nitros

i think that the drivelines could be improved a bit

Hello rubberduck and welcome

WOW O_O

I love it . Congratulation It's very beautiful, it remember me Halo CE (and I'm a big halo fan ^^). Textures are good, IMHO comp1a.jpg can have a better resolution. You meshes look good. The poly ratio is good
Also congratulation for lightmaps, because it's a difficult work (I know, because I'm making lightmapping for the new old mine).

Some ideas:
* The screenshoot room is disturbing when you drive. Just add an arrow or a sign to avoid confusion.
* Add LED screens with fun messages like Don't panic.

* Add animations, like a turbine turning slowly

* Add more variation, like a research facility with strange creatures in green liquid

* Add effects like glow or anamorphic lens flare. You can fake these effects with billboard
* Add a core reactor

* Add windows with a nice skybox (with a planet and moons).

I just 110% agree with samuncle, that's as good as samuncle ones ! And the music you choose give epicness to this track

I don't think this is the best idea

Yes! Or : "The ship may be in distress"

Maybe where the road has the shape of a circle

You should take pictures of samuncle planetarium on a short portion of your track, with small flying meteorite behind the glass.
An example:
Then Samuncle should put on planetarium a small 3D space-ship model somewhere...

Then you should try to avoid this texture, the effect is weird when you run fast:

A last thing... i want this track in 8.1 instead of 8.0 current city track that looks really sad in my opinion .

Hi,

congratulations, this track is excellent! Very well done

I think this would be a perfect fit to replace our current star track. One thing though, we really like the idea of having planets, and samuncle already started to model some planets. Do you think you could add some large windows to your spaceship? Then we could place samuncle's planets out the windows, and we would have a perfect fit to replace the old star track!

Planetarium should replace star track, no ?
But this track should replace another one IMHO

You can find more information about this unfinished track here

I have made a skybox with 3D planets (and their atmospheres, rings, moons, …). You have also a volumetric nebula and the Milkyway in background.

Your track "spaceship" is very good, congratulations ! I agree with samuncle for some ideas.

And your track test "Magic Cross" is good, I think, it could be great for tutorial ?

"Spaceship" and "Planetarium" replace "Star Track", one more track, one less track, is not important, i think ?.

i found some textures, all are from the trak-textures

Theses textures are beautiful . The turbine is nice.

Do you want to include yourself your track in planetarium ? Or can I made some modification and include it ? (Of course I will put your name as a main author of planetarium .

This is a really nice track! It's a bit hard to see where to go sometimes, but adding some arrows and signs should fix this problem.
Do we need original music for this track or is the music we have now fine?

Wow, that is a really nice, high-quality track! Now you should make an arena in the same style. I think it would be pretty cool!

I don't know what you really mean?
do you mean with planetarium my track or not?
but i think that you can do some modification

next days i won't work on my track, because i work at minigolf-track now, but after that i could work on my track and add these textures

Put together Planetarium with spaceships, it's very very good, it's long and big track !! ))

if i go to the addon-site, there are two images, that i can't see
but if i login to stkaddons, i see this images in grey

and i also uploaded the src-files to both tracks, but they are not visible, when i am not login,
it says they are not approved,
could it be, that it has been forgotten, and if yes, it would be good to look if other users have non-approved src-files or images too.

Awsome track !!!
What about adding some acceleration lines for some more fast and spacy feeling.

do you mean zippers???

good idea!!!

rubberduck: I've approved the source file and the other two images for your addon.

This is a really impressive track. I hope more of our artists learn to use lightmaps. They make everything look a lot more polished

a question, how i should make the windows

the first method would be a normal texture, that looks like a window

|<normal textured wall
|<window
|<normal textured wall

the second method would have a background:


|<<background
|..........|
|..........
|..........|
|..........|<normal textured wall

with 2d-spaceships (images):

|<<background
|..x.......|
|......x...
|...x.....|
|......x...|<normal textured wall
x = image from spaceship

and the third would have 3d-objects instead of 2d-images in it

I'm not a specialist at all, but i think the second and the third one are the best solutions.

now i am ready with minigolf-improvement and then i will improve the spaceship

i will add windows, with small 3d-ships
zippers(?)- not sure
arrows
the turbine(rotating thing)
and an halo/glow effect
some aliens(?)- not sure
