Old Rome track

[ctdabomb]

here is the track so far. the texturing is a bit bad and I need some models for the market, the old building isn't done, and the arena is bad. please let me know what you think.
Enjoy!

FYI when downloading got a message saying "Error 0x80070057 The parameter is incorrect

But works very nice, can't wait to see up-coming improvements

A quick music update. I've finished the music programming and the attached the result. Please note it's in midi now, so it sounds horrible. From here on out it's a making it sound better en finalizing it.

Whadjathink?

[ctdabomb]

for some reason my computer can't play it. it usually works fine with midis. oh well, I can wait for the finished version.

[ctdabomb]

WHOOPS! i just realized my computer is on mute. the music sounds great! but the song doesn't loop well if it has to start over. I am not sure if that is an issue though. Thanks!

That's not a problem. I just need to remove the repeat of the theme at the end...

here is an updated version.
zippers don't work

[Auria]

This was resolved on IRC. Turns out the file zipper.png was missing

[ctdabomb]

here is a new version. It is nowhere close to being done. but I thought an update would be a good idea. so I could get feedback.

[cheesebrother]

Here's an idea: what if you had a kart or two as scenery? Then you could line one up with hitch on the ground so that it's a jump. Maybe a reward of a big bottle of nitros at the top to pay for going a little out of the way.

you mean like a chariot?

[cheesebrother]

I was thinking something like this. Although you can't really drive up the hitch unless it was made much wider so maybe it isn't such as good idea.

[ctdabomb]

yea I have thought of something like that. It is a good idea. Also I still need to model a bunch of carts and stuff for the market

[ctdabomb]

here is an updated version with:
fixed back of temple
low-polied pillars
fixed awnings over windows
smoothed hill
better carts
made the broken building

@asciimonster what is the music licensed under?

@asciimonster what is the music licensed under?

Since I created the score in Musescore, I thought I'd stay in the spirit and release it under the creative commons license.

P.S. The music plays much too softly in-game. When I have time I'll see what I can do.

Would I be current day Roman ruins or take place in the past?

It would be really cool if after the first lap, some of the buildings deteriorate/colapse/etc. Wouldn't have to be after the first lap, but could even be caused by a trigger (driving over a certain path, an explosion of any kind occuring at a certain point), the destruction of the buildings/temples could create a shortcut. I really wish the game would support this.

The Old Rome track is a brilliant idea, looking forward to playing it!

here is the final version of the track. since the track is not that high quality, I will not be uploading to stkaddons.net unless others think I should.

Hi ctdabomb...

I just tried it out...took three tries to get 1st place. I think this track has a lot of potential. I would encourage you to continue refining and improving it.

One suggestion would be to please change the music! The piece itself is ok, just the midi synthesized version of it just doesn't match what a real orchestra could do. Is there any way to make that possible?

Regards...

:s i don't know, I could make it better, But I did have the best technique when I made this and to improve it more, I would have to basically start over.......

I guess I could change the music...

If you could be so kind as to point me to a programme that can render midi more naturally I'd be much oblidged .

Hi...

I just meant replace the entire midi piece with an orchestral version, if at all possible.
