Will use Race TS, IP 64.94.100.8:4120

[Purple44]

Space server is up. look for Saturday Night Mod.

 

[Purple44]

SUCCESS!! My fix for the gokart tracks worked, no crashing online tonight and the Tarmac 1 Bridge track ran fine too.

Thanks to all the guys that came out to test the new update to the GoKart Raceway Plus mod.

 

[Purple44]

A small update to Gokart Raceway Plus mod, get it ready for the next Saturday Night Mods night this Sat Dec 9th.

Change notes:

Added 2 new Daystar weather maps, Atacama Desert and Yosemite. Thanks daystar! And between me and Daystar, we figured out what was causing the missing pink texture with some of Daystar weather maps. We found out Bugbear had gotten rid of some the flare files with the June Build release. So now Gokart mod has all the flare files from the April Build and I added back the weather maps that were showing pink sun.

Added some more gas bottle rockets to the Mixed 1 and Mixed 1 rev tracks.

 

[Purple44]

I back to working on the Gokart plus mod. The 3wheeler needed a little fixing. STR sent me the updated files and now can do custom paint job on the 3wheeler. Thanks STR!

 

[Purple44]

The exploding straw bale is back in for the Oval1 Long Fig8 track again.

Was able run track 3 times today with no crash and straw bale exploding around the second lap. My way of resetting cars that get struck around the finish line.

Did a new Build make using exploding straw bale stable again? Exploding straw bale was crashing this track now and then.

 

[Purple44]

I got a new update for GoKart Raceway Plus uploaded today. Got all the tracks working again except the Tarmac 1 tracks and the Tarmac 3 mixed not fix-able.

Good news is you can use Funeral Machine Tarmac 1 - Historic Track if you want to still race the Tarmac 1 tracks. ( load both mods if you want )

X - Old Wreckfest texture files
X - Tarmac 1 - Historic Track
X - GoKart Raceway Plus

Most the tracks needed be updated to current trackmaps to get tracks to load.

Big thanks go out to Funeral Machine for saving the Gokart tracks thanks to giving me a working Tarmac 3 trackmap that still has the gokart track on it!


Be on the lookout for some new custom skins from Zebulon55.

Will try and add a new Tarmac 3 track this week for the next Saturday Night Mods night April 14. I like this track idea from Technopath:

Also thinking I will try a round about version too:

Watch out for them meteors on the Sandpit 1 Extreme!

 

[Purple44]

Bugbear did put a hill in the way to the path you use to use to jump onto the cliffs on the Sandpit 1 Extreme tracks so you could launch some gas bottle rockets. So I had to move hill and use a different path to make the jump:

Will need to use the right car ( a too heavy car might not make it ) and will need get some speed and may take a few tries. Be sure to have reset on encase you come up short. Online, I will try to remember to have resets on. Be sure to remind me Zeb.

Or you could just take the long way around to get to the missile launchers.

We will be hosting the Gokart Raceway Plus mod online this coming Sat April 14, 7:00pm pacific time, for the next Saturday Night Mods night.

I got the objects place and move the barriers out of track path for Technopath track idea: Tarmac 3 Alt Route.

But was a bit of a challenge to place objects using Stuntfest when only this much the trackmap I was able to get Suntfest to load:

I'm liking how the track turning out. I think it going be a bit of a challenge to get car through all the jogs in the track and the chicane. Like when you flying down the straightway, when do you brake? Brake to late you hit the barriers. I did put a couple ramps there so if you get car to turn some, you can miss the barriers and go over the ramps. And beware them two black rocks it you try cut the corner, will put your car up on 2 wheels.

 

[Purple44]

I got the new Tarmac 3 Alt Route Long track finished up last night. Here a video:

I do think Technopath track idea turned out well. Will be a bit of a challenge for guys to race online.

Thanks Zeb for the Class 77 skin.

I'm rounding up some more custom skins to add to Gokart mod. Will do final update sometime Fri to have mod ready for the next Saturday Night Mods night this Sat, April 14.

 

[Daystar]

Curious if we can get any modders to mod a lightbar on a car? _

would look cool while playing this mod!

Oh wait this aint the cops and robbers mod! ughhhh silly me. :-[

 

[Purple44]

I went looking for some custom skins for some the new cars we got and I got permission to add my picks to the GoKart mod. Big thanks Asido and bill1947! Here some pics.

The other day I started working on a new Tarmac 3 Fig8 track and setting up the new track folder using the current Tarmac 3 short track file, I found this while I was free roaming with the cam:

I was surprise to see the old Tarmac 3 Mixed track with the hills!

So maybe there hope Bugbear plans to bring the Tarmac 3 Mixed track back some day after final release.

I don't understand how I got the Tarmac 3 Mixed to show, but I save the track folder encase Bugbear decide not bring back the Tarmac 3 Mixed track. And redid the files so now Tarmac 3 short track show when I load the track in my fig8 track mod.

Also Saturday night online, Zeb show me the gokart track on Mixed 7:

Does this mean Mixed 7 is base on a real world track, like some the other Mixed tracks?

Track a little narrow for big cars, but the lawnmover and mini should fit right in on this track. Will try and get this new gokart track added to mod so we can race on it in a couple months when it be time to host Gokart mod for Saturday Night Mods night again.

 

[Purple44]

I got the rocks place for GoKart Raceway Plus - Mixed 7 track tonight.

Click pic to expand.

Might have look hard see some the rocks I will use for checkpoints.

Now fun part, doing aisectors by hand.

 

[Purple44]

I got the gokart track on Mixed 7 ( Firwood Motocenter ) race-able today:

Just need Sam gokart now.

Still more textures to make but made more progress with the go kart. First time using substance painter for texturing rather than doing it all manually with photoshop

Now go through GoKart Raceway Plus mod and fix any problems, then I can upload an update.
