new problem: track called: The old west

Nice track!

Might i suggest these changes: The highway could be made smoother, the alternate way at the start is a bit cheap and degrades the quality of the track (as you will go on it one time and then never again), the zippers could be set a little lower so that you aren't launched into the air a little when you hit them, and the zipper on the highway is rather hard to see. Besides that seeing as it's a western track with a train, a moving train would be really fun. It would also make the train track shortcut more harrowing if the train went there (you could go to the side or something to avoid being run over). In mario kart 64 there's a track with a train and it makes for some pretty exciting crossings when only a few karts in the front make it across the crossroads before the train goes by, forcing the others to stop.

Can you get some screenshots?
And what is your problem?

It's good track which can be improved


1 - Smoothing the road


2 - Why not continue the way who will join the others?this would be fun


3 - Warning ! A shortcut

really nice track! but there are some weird things though.
the train tracks look a bit fake
when driving through the train tunnel the train track image shows on each side of the track, looks weird,
when you have the arrows pointing which way to go near the end of the track they look weird when going the normal way, you should probably maybe place those better,
add a cherkered line at the end of the track to make it clear when you are starting a new lap.
the zippers were cool, but you can hit the side of them and not get zipped
cool cool cool track!!!

another thing, the track is called "The Old West" but there is a highway in it?

ok, ok, some improvements

Just tried it out. I like the smoothed highway and the fence on the left at the beginning. Just one thing - there's a shovel about 100ft up in the sky which you can see when you're on the bridge, I'm pretty sure that this was unintentional. Something you might want to change is the place at the lapline. The AI is at a bit of a disadvantage with that giftbox on the left because they want to get it. I was coming up to finish with one ai in front of me, no hope of winning the race. But then it skidded to the left (ruining it's speed from the zipper) and got its precious giftbox. I flew across the zipper and over the line resulting in the AI coming in 2nd when it should have come in 1st.

Thats the AI's fault, though it should be fixed.

AI don't drive after boxes intentionally. Unless you're on the AI branch of the development version, which I strongly doubt.

improved a lot! the fence at the beginning is nice, but it looks bad on the highway/bridge. the line of bananas behind the skull looks kind of tacky.

This is a very good track. Well done with great detail.
