Hey all,
I've been working on a new track for some time now, and I'd thought I'd start a thread. Be forewarned: I work slowly.
This is also my first track. Up until I started this, I only played around with tracks, but nothing close to serious.
I am looking for some feedback, good or bad. If you don't like it, please let me know WHY.
The track itself was made from Egyptian Rally from the Expansion Pack. I used ER as a starting point, and the two tracks don't look remotely similar. However, since I am not done editing all the files, many are still the originals from Ryan T. Credits for those go to him.
I've been calling it ER Mod until I can come up with a better name for it.
I plan it to be a simple medium-to-high speed track.
Have a look:

And, here's (http://h1.ripway.com/unBtable/files/ER_Mod.zip) a fairly recent version. Please don't upload this anywhere; I will upload it when the track is FINISHED. Until then, I'll use my own site for previews.
Enjoy.

PS I'll also be posting the same updates at nfscars.
I can't view any pics hosted at your website... :(
What NFS game is this for?
*Smacks forehead*
My bad. Its for NFS4, though should anyone want to covert it when it's finished, I'd be open to that too. ;)
Zpectre: I'll host them somewhere else as well, probably later today, and post links to those too.
Any trouble downloading the file?
Hi L@@Ks CooL you have a Billion cobinations you could do with a scratch Build like that.
I like that Dirt texture :)
I wish you luck with all your Hard works ahead that it is.
Just a Tip,here allways make Bak Ups of your Tr.Frd
when ever,the game crashs, so you can go back a delete the Problem
what ever it may be? or Black screen on Game exits, or 1/2 Black Screens.
is what i do/did. I saved my Celtic so far this way. Good Luck again ;)
Yeah, it looks pretty good but I will wait until it get converted to NFS3, which I have.

Ive got some pretty specific ideas in mind..... ;)
I have been making backups to this point, got about 15 of them. Thanks for the tip in any case :bigthumb:

Edit : updated broken links
Love the textures! :bigthumb:
Hey all
I've not had a lot of time to work on the track in the past week or so, but I have done a few things. I thought I'd give you an update before I go on holidays.
I've been working on some tunnels; mostly just planning out the drivable polygons and leaving the walls and ceilings for later. (they look more like catwalks than tunnels at the moment)
I've also applied Cooya!'s awesome textures (thanks again :) ) but I have not spent any time placing bushes along the track yet.
Here (http://h1.ripway.com/unBtable/files/ER_Mod.zip) is an idea of what I've done since last version. (or you can use the link in the first post)
Thanks for your input so far :)

Hey all,
After a long break, I've started doing some serious work on this track again.
Here are the latest images:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/unbtable/Mod/th_ERMod6.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/unbtable/Mod/ERMod6.jpg)(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/unbtable/Mod/th_ERMod7.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/unbtable/Mod/ERMod7.jpg)(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/unbtable/Mod/th_ERMod8.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/unbtable/Mod/ERMod8.jpg)(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/unbtable/Mod/th_ERMod9.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/unbtable/Mod/ERMod9.jpg)
As you can see, I've done a lot of work on the canyon on the back part of the track. I've got a few more things to go yet, but I think this will be the last beta before I present the finished version :D
And of course, you can download beta 3 here (http://h1.ripway.com/unBtable/files/ER_Mod.zip) or at any of the above links.
cya in the pits and on the forums!

Still not uploaded, huh.
Wonder if I uploaded it wrong? There seem to be a bunch of new cars up... :squint:
Can someone check for me? :eek3:
Ask Mike what's going on with it, latest additions section hasn't seen a whole lot of activity the last month or so.
Thanks to Mike its now been uploaded. (go have a look!) :bigthumb:
Hi all,
Getting started on another NFS4 track project. I expect this one to go slower than the first. :/
I'm looking for a few people to test out the track. Its nothing much at all right now, and normally I wouldn't post this up this early, but T3ED has been giving me some warnings and I want to make sure that it's working on more than just my own computer before I put much more effort into it.
It's based on Redrock Ridge, as you'll see if you drive it. Sorry, don't have a readme on how to install it, but I think most people have a good idea. ;)
http://h1.ripway.com/unBtable/files/RRmod_pre_beta.zip
For those that are interested but haven't the time to test it - don't worry, you aren't missing much. It's a messed up version of Redrock Ridge at the moment, and it's not worth downloading just to see what it looks like. What I am really after is some people to let me know that it ran without crashing the game. ;)
Thanks,
ub
Hey i just DLed your Red Rock Track :D and i Like the Shape of so..what happens when you Drive it? does it just go int a Black Screen or does that Happens after the Race, is Over, Black Screen? Yes that Sucks when happens... heck my Track isent Trashed out as much as Yours is on the Shape, but My Crashs to but not my Bak up track, well im just saying I have test it out Tomorrow to Late know, PM me if you use MSN or YIM ok UnBtable ? since i dont know your email address ok cya ;)
============================
I Drove your Track it sure was a Great Hack Job you did to that LoL
Man i never seen any thing Like it :eek3: But No It Ran Fine No Black Screen or nothen Good Job thats Gunn be alot Work I would just say Make new Scenrey for that,i think you are i guess? But it Runs Fine i used my Scenrey and my Sky on the Attach Pic below :D
Thanks, Will.
No, I've not had any crashes, but T3ED has been giving me warnings that the track may not work. Just wanted to make sure. And yes, I've been making backups. :)
To answer your question, Will, yes I plan on making my own scenery ;) I've been stripping down RR in order to make a base for a totally new track :D I'm planning a raceway set in the mountains, and in the meantime I've been browsing through NFS 5&6 textures.

Oh i see,Good Luck with that Then.. Keep Us Posted :bigthumb:
Section of tunnel I'm working on... this screenshot is a bit old now, but meh
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/unbtable/Mod/th_RRmod.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/unbtable/Mod/RRmod.jpg)
Got the tunnel mesh mostly done now, I still have to make some adjustments and add light sources etc.
Don't get the illusion that I'm almost done the track - this is the easiest part :p

Hey, L:eek3: :eek3: Ks Good.. Keep it Up!
Keep Us Posted..Ok ;)
Looks nice. Maybe some road lines? Other than that looks good ;) Oh yeah what track is it going to replace?
Thanks for the comments guys :)
Quote from: CrownVic316Looks nice. Maybe some road lines? Other than that looks good ;) Oh yeah what track is it going to replace?
I've thought about the line markings, and I've pretty much decided against them. It's going to be a raceway track. (I may change my mind later on though, we'll have to see)
It's 'based' on RR. I hate to say replace... (I love my mixer :D )
OK cool ;)
Time for some updates.... been a long time, and not much new...

Obviously, still lots of work to be done there - and it's just a little piece of the entire track, and other than the tunnel I haven't hardly touched anything else.
(read: I'll be lucky if this gets finished in 5 years...) ;)
Looks pretty good man!
:eek: Wow Nice. Cant wait too see it
when its Finished in 5 yrs lol? ;)
Your track looks good - It's nice to see some people still working on NFS4 tracks!
Your ideas are very interesting, too - good luck for getting that all done. Whenever I tried editing Tracks, I failed.
Like I said, this will probably take me a long time - 5 years is optimistic at the current rate :p
