@nks1996 You've got some serious skills my friend. My only suggestions are to make the water "splash" and have the water jets (maybe just .png), as well as use the effect in the world finals 18 racing track that is the cover on the stunt ramp. Also make the Tabletops more prominent. Other than that can't wait to race on it!

You can't make water splash above ground  the way ROR is coded. The water would have to flood the whole map, and the terrn would be above it (that's how tracks such as Fall Madness X and what not have it). That's why it's a simple png on WF18.

I'll be there

They could probably put a Digger driver or Max D driver in Mutt if they really wanted it. Great choices would be Randy or even Colton. Neither are going to win their tour, so this might be an option. Plus, MM is really popular, so in a way, it would also be beneficial toward FELD (more merchandise etc). However, you also have to look at Felds past, and then you see that most likely, there will be 4 (actually 5 cuz of Pablo) Diggers and 3 Max Ds (possibly 4 if Jared continues his charge against Justin). Really an argument between what should happens based on logic, and what should happen based on the past.

Honestly other than Ryan most of the commentators seem so... wooden and fake. 

They had Faruq from ABC Battlebots as a commentator back in 2016, they should've capitalized on that hard. Man knows how to hype a crowd

 

Yeah Ryan seems to be the only one to actually try. For example, after a two wheel run, he explains what they were trying to do and after a freestyle he makes a few comments on it. Lots of genuine energy from him. The others seem to be really "by the book", as most of them probably had no idea what MJ was before getting hired. There's a few exceptions, like Taylor and Ken, but the rest are just bleh honestly. Same goes with a lot of the new drivers, they all seem so fake (like Bryce repeats the same speech about the fans and what not every show lol)

Wow, only one person understands... shoutout to Rocco @Mr. Self Destruct lol. It's not that I'm feeling pressure from anyone else, I'm just doing this for my own benefit. I don't give a sh!t about what others think. This isn't your classic "oh so many people are rushing me and I need to get it out ahhh" situation. I'm just playing things differently for my personal state. Sorry if this comes off a bit mean

Anyways, on a lighter note, I'll definitely be releasing the blend in the scrapyard so we can have some new custom World Finals! 

Just to clear something up. Currently, there are no problems of stress or "rushing" any part of the track from me. I'm simply doing this duel release thing so I don't feel I have to get it out as soon and those things in previously mentioned don't become a problem in the future. 

 I don't want to put any stress on myself, so I'm taking procautionary efforts to assure I don't. Remember, I'm doing this for both you guys and myself. I really like making tracks for this site, and don't want it to be ruined by a silly project

Alright, I thought about this for a little while, and here's the solution I came up with to satisfy myself and everyone in this community toward WF18.

So as you could probably guess, I'm getting a lot of people asking me about WF18, which is totally fine, I understand the excitement (Im not one to complain). Now, about a month ago I finished up racing, as you probably saw on SYP. I felt great it was done, even a bit of relief based on how long it took. However, I totally forgot to consider that I still had to make Freestyle! This put me back at square one, as I needed to put just as much effort back in to the freestyle version as I did for racing. With this, I started working on it, but as of now, it's not going as fast as I would've wanted. Between real life things and less and less passion for the project, I'm just not getting much done. Therefore, I've decided that I'm going to release the racing track separate from the freestyle track. This will both satisfy everyone eagerly awaiting the track, and put way less stress on me. 

Now, you're probably thinking, when's this stuff going to be released? Well, for the racing version, which the high quality version is 100% done for, I would expect 1-2 weeks. Now, notice how I said high quality. The racing version probably has the most meshes/shapes out of any track on this site. Therefore, if your computer is not the best, like mine, you might not be able to run it to your liking. I was testing it with my laptop I normally run ROR on, which is not even a gaming computer, and there were some trucks I couldn't spawn in as without the game crashing. However, for the trucks I could spawn, such as the 2017 Avengers, Mutant, V4s, etc, I got no additional lag and ran my normal frame rate. With this being said, over the next week or two, I'm going to develop two more versions: an FPS version and a super FPS version. This difference between them will be the regular FPS will still look nice, just be missing some of the fancy details, and the super FPS will just have the collidable stuff, with pretty much no pointless details. 

Then for freestyle, honestly, I'm going to predict a date after March. Currently, at the time of this post, I'm almost done with the far pad. Still need the other one and to texture it all. Again, this will have 3 versions. 

Hope you guys like this plan as much as I do and can't wait to see what you think of the track!

But don't you have a little bit of doubt chris

Why would I doubt a man who has an engineering degree and been in the industry for about 20 years? If Jimmy built it, there might be some flaws in the first couple weeks, but he'll sort them out. It's an engineering mastapiece 👌👌👌

I’ll see if this works lol

 

Looks kind of like an oversized rock bouncer. Really liking it, Jimmy had an excellent idea with this one. Excited to see how this works out for him

Funrun machine broke

Might be off on my thinking, but who's the 4th? There's Colt & Zombie, John Gordon and Team Scream Scooby and Macey Nicter and Wonder Woman but who is the 4th?

Basl and Devastator

Macey Nichter will be piloting Wonder Woman this weekend in Greensboro. She trained at MJ University and is the daughter of Joe Nitcher, owner of the Stomper truck. This brings our forth last minute truck/driver switch up for next weekend. Wow

Colt Stephens will be piloting Zombie this weekend, rather than Brodozer. It is not known when or if Brodozer will be on the circuit, as Colt is now listed as driving TBD for the remaining shows.
