New Multiplayer Video
Thanks to the community's feedback, we have created a new video to replace the two previous ones, which now use Source Demo Recorder instead of Fraps. These videos also focus on the driving and do not include captions.
The first video is of 4 players racing on a large circuit track. This level takes advantage of the entire space provided by Half-Life 2's level editor.
An early look at one of the racing levels, while still experiencing zero lag (latency).
Keep up the awesome work!
lol, a 'no clip' combine in the first video at 1:38 :P
very nice vids, love this mode.
Cool mod! Awesome work!
P.S In the "4 players racing" you testing the AI? don't you?
Devs, this is just my opinion but I just want you to read this.
As most of the PC racing game controls are all depend on keyboard arrows(or w,s,a,d). So I want you to choose another control of that racing cars.
Plz ignore me if you already have another innovative controls, but if SHIFT still uses same controls as others, I hope you to read belows
How about using mouse like (steering)wheel? To keep moving mouse carefully to let wheel move up to right way will be much more realistic. It would be really feel like playing amusement arcade of racing game.(I definately recommend this)
Ctrl-Space bar or MOUSE1-MOUSE2 etc. would suitable to Brake - Accelerator controller.
I don't know about more details about systems on this mod, so these are all. But to put these two innovative controls on game will be fantastic.
I hope you put my opinion on this great racing mod and to perceive that innovative stuffs are needed for success
That would be a good idea, how about if you can choose between classic controls and the innovative controls you suggested?
ehh what the hell with -2? Anyway, That would also be good. But for a balancing, the setting about control should be belong to host
that could be pretty cool
Mouse left/right to steer, left click is brake, right click is accelerator
Clicking mouse wheel = clutch and up/down on the wheel is gearstick.
Realistic manual driving with 1 hand ftw.
Umm, I had already suggested this like 3 new posts ago, and mouse for turning does not suck. Try Unreal 3 vehicles or hoverboards. It works well for smooth turning and can be combined with the keyboard for total control.
Gamepad support should be there, but not everyone has one, and it would limit who can play.
Looks absolutely gteat, but from watching that I don't get a big enough feeling of speed. Cars would remain balanced if you sped ALL of them up by the same amount, and it'd make the game FEEL much more awesome.
And is there going to be any more cars? I only ever see that one car and it is an AMAZING model and texture, but variety is the key to success, ey?
Really glad to see this is taking shape though. THe mod looks absolutely amazing and you're doing something that no one else has done before.
I agree. I alspo found them a bit slow.
This is their first car model. In the selection menu, there are more slots, so they will hopefully have more. They also have a car from gmod, but showing something else than their own stuff isn't too right.
These videos are showing off that the mod works online without the dreaded lag everyone thinks it will have, not the car model. The model was revealed long ago, so it really doesn't matter what vehicle they are using, it's the racing itself that is important.
the exhausts are ugly..
"An early look at one of the racing levels, while still experiencing zero lag." so you took a pretty much enitity empty map, with blocky buildings and no textures watsoever (no detailed ones that is, i know about the dev textures are just placeholders blah blah blah) and 4 car models, and actually thought you would lag? and ye the exhausts are ugly.
Otherwise keep up the good work!
Do you even know what Lag is? It has nothing to do with the level of detail, it has to do with latency.
it would be nice to see a video collab of all the cars at once, the devs claim 0 lag (Im not saying that there is lag) but without seeing from the other 3 cars at the same time, its hard to tell. this person could be hosting a local server, closer to the ded server that they are testing on etc.
