Re: [Audyssey] Raceway tracks.
hi Gary, Quote Tom may feel at times to take a break from one project to take on another. Restarting with projects cause of an idea my pop up and one wants to put it in effect or getting stuck on a problem and need to give it some thought... End quote You have hit the perverbial nail on the head. Allot of times when working on my games I will get frustrated with a problem in one game, and switch over to another project for a couple of hours not only to clear my head but to take a break on the game giving me issues. In other cases it is just an issue of staying focussed. If I am slogging along all day creating a level in one game I will get very tired of that games source, and want to look at something fresh. Usually this is accompanied by a fresh idea I had for game x, and I want to get it in before I forget about it. Not always the most productive way to do things, but I've always been a bit of a multitasker. Even in college at my apartment I hated doing my math homework. So I would tend to break it up into chunks. Work a little on trig, switch to history, work a little on trig and swich to English, do a little more trig and switch to something else, eventually I got it all done, and I didn't drive myself insane looking at a variety of trig formulas that drove me half bonkers.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway tracks.
Hi Gary, Online racing is something allot of Raceway customers are interested in. I think if and when I include this feature I'll have to do some sort of peare to peare network game play like Topspeeed has. I don't really have the cash to run a network server for online gaming unless I setup and run it from home. At any rate one client can be setup as the server for a group of folks, and all the other clients can connect and race. Not as good as going to adedicated game server, but a reasonable compromise I think. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway tracks.
Ok time for my say. Been busy with my Strat Baseball League. AS I emailed before. I would like to see at least one track being clay this being a half or quarter mile. This can be a add on later. I payed for Raceway couple times over and wish to see at least a running 1.0 version of the game. I understand Tom's not wanting a Track editor. The quesiton is out there now to see what we like for tracks. That's fair enough. Tom looks to be wanting to start Raceway on a good track by programming with the latest tools. Smiles, not like his other game titles having a overhaul. This is good news to those with newer O/S. Weather Conditions: For version 1.0 I say is not a big concern. Since most raceing events are done in the summer, bad wather only happens rarly. Other versions of the game could then have an option to turn on weather conditions. This will help to get the game out faster. Field Size: AS a reminder to what I posted before. Track size will determine size of the field of number of cars in a race. To, get the game out faster I susgest that the Tracks should be near the same size. Laster on smaller tracks like half and quarter miles can be added. A race on a super sppedway has around 43 cars. To brinup the point up again with that at most the player will hear at most four cars.. Seeing a field this large will make Raceway a truer Raceway sim. If SAPPY is used to annouce certain things like drivers names and car numbers, I suggest a editor for these items. This way if one wishes to put in real names and car numbers of Nascar drivers they can on there own. This could include also sponsors. To even make the Nascar drivers race true to form is have certain varibles dictate how well a racer perform during a season. This is getting into more of a replay. type of game but it would be fun to race aginst Jeff Gordon. To finsh up with this email so it won't be too long. I will bring up this subject matter in my text post to this thread and describe the possible varibles needed.

Hi, For 1.0 I am not sure I am ready to include different terrains. It is possible, but there is a whole lot of extra work that goes in to designing the engine and even the cars just to run on a variable terrain. As you might realise different terrains require slightly different physics calculations. A dirt or gravel track would supply some friction or force acting against the car. Also the car would require a tredded tire which also slows the car down. Where as a flat paved surface and a bald tire allows a car to move much faster and smoother. That's why Nascar stock cars always have a bald tire. A bald tire cuts down on friction allowing the car to reach speeds up to 215 MPH on the track. It is not imposible to have a variable surface and different equasions to handle this, but I am more interested in just getting the engine working before I begin adding more complex variables into the mix. Though if a variable surface is really in demand I will certainly look into what I need to make it happen.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway tracks.
Hi all Back to expand on editing Driver's performace. As Tom mention in this thread how more work it would be to create a Track editor I want to see a different kind of editor. Request a certain kind of track and Tom willing to put the track in a wish list is great. What I like to see is a simple edit form for drivers in the game. It would be nice to able to change the drivers names to say Richard Petty. Car to Dodge Charger. Sponsor to STP Car Number to 43. This way one could bring back great races of thepast to compete with you. How about raceing FireBall Roberts and so on. ONe could even mix eras to race aginst your favorite racers. Driver and Car performences: This editor would need vital info to make them perform as they may have in a season. Here are some things that would be included. Number of Races in a season: Some drivers may not have raced a full schedule and these drivers will be allowed in to race on a set number provided by you. Points: The points a driver got during a season. This will give the game an idea of how well the driver and car does during a season of raceing depending on the number of races. Wins: The number of races won: A driver may not have the best car best engine or best pit crew but dies seemed to win. This varible shold have a major impact on all the varibles below. A Driver who races once during a season and wins should have the best chance to win that single race its in. With this certain driver should provide a foundation to the program varibles. Top 10 and Top 5: These to items should be a seperat input feilds. Again this will help to give the performence of the car and driver and Pit crew. Pit Crew: This could be a grading system input like A for best and D for worst. A judgement call, and the default should be C The better a grade the better the pit crew can make repairs and get the driver back on the track. Engine Fatigue: Another grade system can be used here. The bigger the sponsor with cash the better the engine was built and tested. A mixture of Pit Crew and Engine Fatigue can also determine is the car has a break down or flat tire. Lesser sponsorship cash More chances of malfunctions. A sponsorship input could be add as well to addmore varibles, but the tell tell of a good sponsor is its pit crews and Engine building. If anything I would like to see this feature in version 1.0. It would make the game replayable with the chance to recreate Nascar past season. Further more, This would be nice to able to export to wother as a file. Once could recreate say the 1977 season and allow others to enjoy Richard Petty against a rookie named Dale Earnhart. the Editor would make it more easier to just give the car brand to be read aloud with SaPPy then creating a set of packages of cars. Car packages cold come later with specific game physics. But to get the game out faster I be happy with a general Purpose editor. Besides it be cool to put Tom Ward in a old junker like a Pinto during game play. LOL. My next post To be online or not to be online is the question.

With the game so far behind production schedule already I'd say it would have to be something added in at a later date.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway tracks.
Well Ron with your car is setup to take turns to the left which is having the car heavier on one side then the other could put you into the wall. General speaking. Before Nascar turning to the left was due to using your better arm being your right. Being right handed made makes racing counter clock wise. Making shifting a little more differcult, but I suppose in the old days it was racing full out. Which brings me to a point for those who may not what to shift during game play. Have an option to ake the car auto shifting. The car will race a slight slower, but will help those who are beginner racers.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway tracks.
To finish my suggestions On line with Raceway. I know has mentioned before the problems in making the game playable on the net. Like the track editor a learning curve will be needed for Tom. Just give it some thought. Taking on such an adventure would be hard, but the benefits to yourself would be great. You will be helping advance the blind gaming market to a higher level. Not putting down those who have online games. I feel Raceway will be a great game and to able to compete with friends on a Friday nght instead of Poker would be a lot of fun. The net play of raceway can be a smaller version of the total package. Where races are shorter Number of cars are less. In fact for asking for what kind of tracks one would like I would lie a net track or a set of net tracks. If only racing aganst in a head to head where one computer is the home track would be cool. Later on net play with say up to four racers would be great. Keeping the tracks simple for net play will make better connectivity between the computers using a server or having a home computer to be the program rran. The net play should include Stats tracking for a season of racing when this option has been selected. Otherwise gamers could just race. So, to finish up with my posting on his subject for now anyway. Tracks I like to see; Clay quarter to hale mile Net track allowing gamers to compete head to head with other bot cars. Thanks Tom for bring up the subject up Been wanting to talk about Raceway for awhile and see something about raceway.

I agree Che with you email. Waiting for Raceway been a long time as well and if Tom had just made a inquiry on the list about which Tracks one wants to see may be just that. It does seem to have come up before. Smiles. And I will give my four cents in on the subject. Papyrus's game was great when I had sight too. Some of my suggestion of design has come from what I notice in the game as sound effects, like I mentioned about the cars about your car being the cars engines only audible. As you know Che from Papyrus's game you could even ask for more effects like sound and graphics like more cars being visible. Having more will effect racing on a machine that can not handle even the skid marks on the trcks, but the idea of the sound of four cars North, west, sought and East of yours is a must. the cars in front will be a little more muffled then a car behind lets say to give the different sound for game play in stereo. My other suggestions come from a text base Nascar simulator. I do understand both sides of the coin. Tom may feel at times to take a break from one project to take on another. Restarting with projects cause of an idea my pop up and one wants to put it in effect or getting stuck on a problem and need to give it some thought while working on something else to keep things moving along. Raceway had not gotten much attention for a while and its nice to see the subject matter its its own air time like this just just some foot note in Tom's update about his games. Smiles.

Yes, all of the ovals run counter clockwise, so if you are going to model your game after Nascar and the actual tracks, that would be the way to go. Keep in mind however that Nascar runs a few road courses each year, such as Watkins Glen, which in my opinion is the best road course in the states, and when I could see it was my favorite track in Papyrus' game Nascar 3, the best and most realistic driving simulation I ever played by far. One thing I would like to suggest here though, just my personal opinion. I would focus solely on Monty until it is finished, then move on to Raceway instead of coding a little here then a little there back and forth back and forth. It sounds like from recent posts that you are dabbling with the Star Trek game, Raceway and Monty all at the same time and in my experience, this causes delays and inefficiencies in programming that are larger than the sum of their parts. A lot of people have been waiting a long long time on Monty, and I think it would boost their confidence in you and your abilities to release a high quality commercial game to get it polished off and finished before going on to something much more complicated such as Raceway. Again, just my two cents worth as a fellow developer, but I fell into the trap of bouncing between a couple different projects while working on Rail Racer for a while, and it just wastes a lot of time basically. Once I hunkered down and focused solely on Rail Racer, I found it was much easier to get back into the code day in and day out and get it finished, as I didn't have other projects on my mind to distract me. Good luck with it, I can't wait to check out Raceway, I will be one of the first customers when it is ready for beta purchase.

Hi Gary, Your idea of an editor for the cars and drivers sounds awesome. Even easier this concept is something that can easily be included. For example, if I created an xml file with all this data a person could open it in notepad, edit the information and tags directly, save it and it should load up in the game engine with all the new info. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway tracks.
Hi Che, I agree. I have always found it better at least for me, to focus on one game slash project at a time. I like the feeling of finishing and putting out a game. This may not be exactly accurate but if you work on 2 projects at a time it would take twice as long to get them to the market even though they both then hit the market at the same time. Three projects three times as long etc. Yes all NASCAR tracks turn to the left except for the two road tracks that they run. In Mach 1 the first track which was version 1 turns to the right. It did that because I was trying to out of memory make it like the Pole Position track. I guess that half of the Mach 1 tracks turn left and the others turn right. Well some both ways. grin BFN Jim O k who stole the C off of the Chardon high school again?

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway tracks.
Hi Che, You are quite right. I am sort of bouncing from project to project trying to get them all done, and not really completing either. When I took over Alchemy's games I got sattled with a huge load of work, and then Monty players keep asking when Monty will be done and Raceway players which have been waiting since say 2001 or 2002 keep asking when Raceway is done, and I am feeling pressured to finish them both asap. Though, I think you are correct here. Monty is quite far along in development,and If I settle down to working on it I could probably get it done in a matter of months and possably even weeks rather than dragging it out by dabbling with RW. Che wrote: Yes, all of the ovals run counter clockwise, so if you are going to model your game after Nascar and the actual tracks, that would be the way to go. Keep in mind however that Nascar runs a few road courses each year, such as Watkins Glen, which in my opinion is the best road course in the states, and when I could see it was my favorite track in Papyrus' game Nascar 3, the best and most realistic driving simulation I ever played by far. One thing I would like to suggest here though, just my personal opinion. I would focus solely on Monty until it is finished, then move on to Raceway instead of coding a little here then a little there back and forth back and forth. It sounds like from recent posts that you are dabbling with the Star Trek game, Raceway and Monty all at the same time and in my experience, this causes delays and inefficiencies in programming that are larger than the sum of their parts. A lot of people have been waiting a long long time on Monty, and I think it would boost their confidence in you and your abilities to release a high quality commercial game to get it polished off and finished before going on to something much more complicated such as Raceway. Again, just my two cents worth as a fellow developer, but I fell into the trap of bouncing between a couple different projects while working on Rail Racer for a while, and it just wastes a lot of time basically. Once I hunkered down and focused solely on Rail Racer, I found it was much easier to get back into the code day in and day out and get it finished, as I didn't have other projects on my mind to distract me.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway tracks.
Hi Ron, Well, weather you need a hard lef turn or say an easy left turn usually depends on the size of the track in question. For example if it is a half mile oval track the curves are much sharper than a two mile track. I don't think game wize if the track moves clockwize or counter clockwize it makes much of a difference. I've seen it both ways. The Nascar games for NES, PC, etc all move counter clockwize since that is how Nascar tracks are. However, in games like Poll Position I remember them moving clockwize.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway tracks.
Hi Shaun, That is a good suggestion, but one I will have to consider carefully. In order to carry out this custom stock car idea I need to research how this is done in Nascar. It is my understanding it is the sponcer who provides the car, service, and so on. The driver then wins the prize money if he/she wins. shaun everiss wrote: what about custom cars. ie we start with a lump sum of cash.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway tracks.
Hi, Actually, Raceway is largely going to be based on a Nascar type game. you will be competing for prize money and the USA Racing Cup. Each game will earn you certain point values which are totally identical to the Nascar points system. I don't want to add things like road courses and cross country type racing since it is not going to be that kind of game. You will be racing on tracks in a seasonal circuit like Nascar. Cheers.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway tracks.
Hi Tom As for the direction of the track I don't really see alot of difference in game play, though that could be largely due to my lack of experience with racing games. As for styles of tracks, I do think it will add some variety to the game, instead of always right turn, hard right, there might be something like a easy left turn, right turn hard left or some such. Mixing it up some is a good idea.

Hi list, Sometime next week I plan to take up work on Raceway again, and before I do I'd like to have some good discussion on the kinds of tracks the game will support.

However, I'm thinking the game could be more interesting if there were some unusual shaped tracks like s shapes, figure 8 tracks, and so on. What do you racers think?

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway tracks.
Hi Brandon, I'm trying to shoot for a more triditional paved track surface and making the tracks level. The reason for this is Raceway is going to be complex enough as it is. Adding different track variables like variable elivation etc is way more complexity than I hope to design in 1.0. Though, I'll keep it in mind for a possible update someday.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway tracks.
Hi, For 1.0 I am not sure I am ready to include different terrains. It is possible, but there is a whole lot of extra work that goes in to designing the engine and even the cars just to run on a variable terrain. As you might realise different terrains require slightly different physics calculations. A dirt or gravel track would supply some friction or force acting against the car. Also the car would require a tredded tire which also slows the car down. Where as a flat paved surface and a bald tire allows a car to move much faster and smoother. That's why Nascar stock cars always have a bald tire. A bald tire cuts down on friction allowing the car to reach speeds up to 215 MPH on the track. It is not imposible to have a variable surface and different equasions to handle this, but I am more interested in just getting the engine working before I begin adding more complex variables into the mix. Though if a variable surface is really in demand I will certainly look into what I need to make it happen.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway tracks.
Hi, As for a track editor I am still undecided about that point. I know it would be a big selling point, but making one user friendly could prove very challenging for me. I'm good in certain areas of programming, but writing a track editor is something I have to read up on and experiment with. With the game so far behind production schedule already I'd say it would have to be something added in at a later date. I'm not ruling out the possability, but just uncertain weather I can put it into 1.0 or not.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway tracks.
Hi Shaun, At this point the best answer I can give for a time table is it is ready when it is ready. I have no official time table when testing is going to begin, when a demo is released, etc... One thing I can tell you is that starting with Raceway to make testing fair for everyone I want to go to a paid testing setup. Microsoft does this, Che does this, and that tends to be more productive than just giving the games away for free. Also during the testing cycle money will be coming in to fund the development rather than developing it and trying to collect cash all at once once it is sold. shaun everiss wrote: Any news on when we can apply for testing, I'm always interested.
