Title: JimD's Track 8 project
Post by: JimDiabolo on May 24, 2010, 11:04 AM
After 'Lake Diabolo' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJ-z6jk_2XQ) I started working on my second track a few month ago. Progress will be slow, because I usually only got time on weekends. But here is short video of the first part it : Track_8_First_Impressions on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx295yPuxCA)

I has the shape of a big 8. There's no brigde or tunnel. The track already has a crossroad which is driveable. The the best is you still have to drive the whole track to complete the race, not just the first circle.  Collision whith crossing cars / traffic works, too.

Here's a picture of the trees I made this weekend.

Wow, are those NFS HP2 textures I see in the video? From the Mediterranean tracks? Once again makes you forget completely that this is NFS HS. :)

This is gonna be an interesting track for multiplayer use.

Here's the 2nd preview of my track : Track 8 2nd Preview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3AyxeDRCuA)

I think this part won't be changed anymore.  But don't worry there will be parts that are more challenging. ;) "Lake Diabolo" isn't that simple as it looks at first view. With Track 8 it will be the same.

Yeah, it looks like it's gonna have more variation than I thought, at first. :) Cool to see the progress.

Having to build everything in the scenery, every hill etc. from scratch still sounds like a lot of work.

JimDiabolo Am I right it is based on Hometown?

Yes, most parts are from Hometown. I started with a big circle again, and then made the "8" shape. I had to add several blocks to bring it in a good form. This is the tunnel part, I think I took it from Aquatica.
The opponents race good in forward direction. But I can't make then race in backward good, without messing up forward. So it will stay like in the weather video. Fixing up both may take another 11 years. ;)

"You can't go backward without messing up forward."

"Started with a circle,  going ape, ended with an 8 shape."

Use these lines in a R&R song, play it loud while you going 'round track 8.😉
