A new racetrack, developed by Nekojin, has just gone live!
I need to confirm whether this track will be in Sars, BL, or Shanty. For the moment, it's in Sars..

I present, Viper Canyon..

thanks Neko!  ;)

BTW you'll see a really nice concrete bunker at the far end of this track (and visible in the image above); this was made by Tinker. Not yet implemented as something that peds can run inside and shoot from... but it's planned.

That is a sarsfield map, no matter how you look at it, yay for more sarsfield maps!
Also, if we ever have shanty race tracks, they should be somewhere along the lines of demo derby tracks...

For offroad tracks, we could just take some of the desert tracks, plunk a couple of flags there, then checkpoint them and voila, a rally, all that we miss now is the snow and ice :rolleyes:

It cant be that hard can it?
And I can totally see RP reasons for wanting to race buggy's trough the desert, with no "Tracks" and just checkpoints marked by flags to follow...

Yep, it'd be fairly easy to do that. Maybe even add a new rule that certain out-of-town tracks can get invaded by mutant creatures during some races?

Mutant creatures, like sere said, in all of these new rally races, in return, peds always carry weapons during the rally's, even if the cars aren't armed!

Hell, you think it's possible to throw in the slight chance of a "Pirate Raid" into these?

I completely missed when Sam posted this thread. I hope everyone enjoys the track. I wasn't 100% satisfied with how it turned out, but Serephe and a few others convinced me that it was fine, and didn't need to be scrapped and rebuilt. ;)

Anyway, enjoy.

Check the wiki Arganosh. There's a page I wrote a while back about using the mission editor. It's only half finished, but it should help, and it has links to the tools.

Forum thread about it (Subscribers Forum)

Edit: Just so everyone is aware, I'm also putting the finishing touches on a new Arena, which should be ready some time next week, and debut in... oh, about 10 days. ;)

Have to say very nice little track neko, love the chassis around the course, nice and simple, but looks like great fun when some competitors are there kudos

I'd love to see bunkers like this near chokepoints around a lot of the truckstops and key towns. The "wood fence defense" style doesn't give me the same "terrifying post apocalypse world" feeling as a bunker checkpoint in a narrow canyon.

Agreed very nice touch, and as sam states may be able to have peds in those bunkers :cyclops:

:D
The potential for player-created content to become official content is a really nice feature of this game. I'm still too "noobish" to really dive in to that aspect yet, but I'm looking forward to experimenting with this someday.

This looks really nice!

One caution to people who want to try making tracks or terrain: Save early, save often. The editor is very crashy for me, and rarely lasts more than 15 minutes at a time unless I'm only moving objects around. Sam says that my problems with the editor are out of the ordinary (most people don't have it crash nearly as frequently as I do), but better to be safe than sorry. Saving frequently is a good habit to get into, anyway.

Yeah, seconded. It doesn't crash quite that often for me (more like once every couple of hours), but still, better safe than sorry.
