The layour has completely changed. The aim is to be challenging without being too annoying. I'm probably hold an even the next week or maybe in two weeks, not sure now.

A competitive time is 3:05 at the very least. Good times are under 3 mins.

TRY THIS LAYOUT

I came back to play LFS a bit.

This time server won't probably 24/7, I'll see, because the community has dried a bit and IDK If Ill stay for long.

The new server is in lfs://join=CRAZY%20RACE%20LAYOUTS

No screenshots, no nothing, just for reference. Ill modify it later. Most tracks are not entirely mine, but stuff that I downloaded and modify to convert it into race layts. Some others, the worst ones (xD) are entirely made by me.

AU1X Race lyt going to 8 lane pad

Quote from Draggo :

FE1 and lack of layout on a server.

Change
/select=yes
to
/select=no
in setup.cfg

I'm using an lfs host, not VPS, I cannot touch it that way. User voting for track is disalowed, is that what you mean?

Most people can't even finish a lap. I won't post pictures today, I want to see the feedback

It not only happens to look spectacular man, it's actually very fun! xD

Quote from Gutholz :

stuff

And what about allowing larger objects? Is it possible? Like walls larger than 16x4.

I also wanted to know if introducing bent walls and slabs could be very difficult or not. Just for making jumps, U turns and stuff like that.

Quote from sinanju :

I don't see the Z factor being increased - because for the existing tracks the sky and scenery are placed so that from the highest piece of track, there are no blank 'walls' of nothingness for you to look at.

What would be better, and would increase content (!) would be a a giant type of box.

This would be just a large (1 x 1 kilometre) base, with 4 walls, each 60 metres high, and a sky lid.

There could be different configurations, with tarmac, grass, or sand/dirt as the ground, and perimeter scenery to match.

Or if this would be difficult because of the perspective of long walls of scenery, maybe a large diameter circular 'cake tin' shaped layout, again with choice of ground type.

I'd also like to see more objects, but if this was problem, more colour choices, at least for the concrete walls and chalk lines. If you can get 6 colours of tyres, why not more than 4 for walls and lines? Especially Green!

Not sure we'll get more Autocross objects - autocross is supposed to be about proper car trials (time, etc), and not stunt layouts. Likely we'll have to wait till there's a track type editor, when we can start using other objects, like lights, lamp-posts, trees, fences, etc.

But don't you think that allowing bigger objects (just increasing length, width) and the ability to bend them there's pretty much everything covered?

I mean, that will end the discussion of the object limit, because you could just put less but larger objects. Just imagine a 64x long block for a wall. And I don't think that's very difficult to implement.

The ability to bend them could be more challenging, I don't know, but that's also necessary.

And It's not only for stunts. I'm actually trying to make race layouts, but I have many problems when It comes to make something a bit different.

I revive this thread. As long as I remember, this limits were because of old pcs performance. The more objects, the lower fps. Anyway I have an I5 g630, 4gb ram and a radeon 7700, and I allways get around 100 fps. It's definitely nothing advanced.

I think the problem could be solved with larger obects. For example, instead of putting 4 wall obects, having the ability to put one x4 times larger, so you save obects. Unfortunately this is not actually possible, and could save lot of time and preserve the actual object limit.

Another, important, in my opinion, would be curved objects, so you can make jumps, wall rides, or anything you could imagine, without wasting 209348023 objects on it and destroying suspensions, making the course more "soft", therefore more playlable.

I also agree with the 60 z-factor thing, but imho the previous ones are much more important.

Scawn, let us play with this, please. I have lots of Ideas that I cannot build because the actual editor limitations. This few changes could overcome any limitation.

I beg you :/

I've seen that layout makers (and myself) are trying to make jumps, loops, wall-riding and many more with only flat objects. The problem is that often destroys suspensions, and there's no way to fix it.

The only real solution to that is to have curved objects. Like a concrete block (another slab-like) where you can decide the curvature in degrees, and length, width, inclination, etc, like actual concrete wall or slab.

That could open a lot of possibilities.

loool

Finally, it's aviable for download.

Layout updated.

Allowing user generated content could be great. But instead of that, LFS keeps dying... and it's sad, I love this game.

Done!

Im updating the server, wait a bit please.

Join now, two playing

This layout rocks, I tell you.

Quote from Kid222 :

While you're at it, do you think it's possible to create in LFS something like the Trackmania full throttle, no steering tracks? For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRyIrtA5VYI

No way. We will need objects with better geometry and soft transtions, which is not possible today with current object editor.

It's official, the server with most ragequits ever.

New layout!

Next version coming!

Because of the screenshots not doing justice with this layout, we did a video. Sorry for the potato quality.
