ideas for more RACE maps
Posted: Fri 25 Oct , 2013 1:24 pm
So, after I read the "thanks" from iRobot I kind of realized, that there havent been many new race maps on the server lately and it really came down to a small rotation of the same maps over and over again. Thats why I want to share some ideas I had the last couple of days.
The most fun RACE would probably be a boat-race along a river or coast (like ONS-Dinora). Im going to exclude open sea cause that would be boring I think. I know this requires a lot of artwork to make it look good since you cant just put plattform after plattform floating in the sky. Once Im dont with the HellbenderWorld stuff Im probably going to start something like that, probably even make an own boat for this, we will see.
Another idea I already had several years ago when there was still the UTzone Race server up was MarioKart! Back then in 2007 I built BowserCastle from the N64 MarioKart for UT2004. Unfortunatly it wont work online since I used Matinee to get all those Wummps moving as they require more than 8 Keys and as we know - Matinee doesnt work online.
But Im sure, almost everyone has played this game in the past and enjoyed it, if you know the original from this screenshot then you had an awesome childhood
So my point is, how about a Race map that does include all the race maps from MarioKart64 packed together as Cups aka Mushroom Cup with the 4 tracks รข 3 rounds. Another map is the Flower Cup, then the Star Cup and the Special Cup.
Also, I remember there was a pretty cool Manta Race on the UTzone server, but I cant remember the name of it (probably just MantaRace lol). Besides the part in SkyRace I think there is no Manta Race on this server, is it? Same goes for the Raptor (or Aircrafts in general), besides Yro there is none I believe. I also remember a spaceship race (cant remember the name either) which was actually just flying through tubes with obstacles and hardcore techno as music. Actually I think Aircraft race is not that fun and has most likely been discussed several times just like Mantas, but Im just throwing that in as a possible variety to all the ground-based races. If anyone comes up with Dragonflies now, I honestly think steering those through a map with obstacles is too challenging for the majority.
To sum it up:
-Boat
-Manta
-Aircraft
-MarioKart (doesnt have to be the N64 one, but I think this one is the best )
Discuss!
Anyway, if anyone is interested in the BowsersCastle map: http://www.mediafire.com/download/offtx ... Castle.rar
