Trent, do you happen to know if there are any ACT/DAT/MAT importers around, for bringing C2 models into 3dsMax, fully textured? I might want to port some of my old C2 cars into C:R (after giving them proper facelift first), so I was wondering. I originally modeled them in GMax, which has been abando...

C2 Scientist

Combining certain powerups might be an improvement indeed. Besides those you mentioned, there's a lot of "vacuum" powerups in the game as well; one for peds, objects, and opponent bodywork pieces. If these are combined, I wonder if it would make sense to change the bodywork vacuum to affect entire o...

<blockquote class="uncited"><div>Also, loved your ideas for new powerups.

I was thinking of waiting for the next update before posting this, to see which of the following still applies... but as I'm unsure when it's coming exactly, I'll just post this now. It's a bit of a long list, so I've divided everything into some sort of categories. I'll probably update this first p...

C2 Scientist

Thanks Shane, it's looking good! :-)

I think the change especially improves the Stream Q&A collection thread, which makes heavy use of bullet point lists. Those are now wrapping much less.

C2 Scientist

assuming you start with 4 minutes all the time (which wasn't the case in the old games i recall, it was more like 1-2 mins starting time)

The last races in C1 had 10 seconds of starting time, on hardest difficulty! :-)

C2 Scientist

I'd like to suggest a small cosmetic change. <a href="https://c2s.cwaboard.co.uk/Images/Forum.jpg" class="bb-url" rel="nofollow">Here</a> is a screenshot of how a typical thread looks on 1920x1080 (the height is cut in the image).<br/><br/>Maybe it's just my odd personal preference, but it would be ...

I'm currently waiting for Stainless to expand the analog controller support. Of course I'm a layman when it comes to game development, but one would think that it should take less time than starting from the ground up, since they already have a working support for one controller (the gamepad).<br/><...

I thought that is the case, thanks. :-)

I think it would be interesting to briefly experiment with the pinball mode so that the vertical rebounds were reduced, but now collisions with opponents, pedestrians and other objects would cause a rebound of varying strength to each other as well. Of course heavy vehicles like the Plow wouldn't be...

C2 Scientist

I used to edit the Bouncey Bouncey in C2 to have much more strength, but also reduced rate. I think it was a bit more fun that way. With a good timing, you could even benefit from the effect. And it made the original effect look tame. :-)<br/><br/>For those interested, one of my gameplay videos show...

C2 Scientist

Sounds familiar. When pinball mode gets my car, things usually escalate quickly, and I end up just crossing my arms, leaning back in my chair, and waiting it out. :-)<br/><br/>On some cars recovering doesn't always help much either. Since the cars are dropped from a moderate distance on a recovery, ...

Let's keep in mind that the whole point of the early access and these forums is to provide useful feedback for the devs, so the OP and those who agreed shouldn't automatically get the flak for posting their thoughts.<br/><br/>With that said - the feedback should be as useful as possible, so the OP s...

C2 Scientist

I used to own a Golf. Being a relatively short FWD car, reversing with excessive throttle while steering sharply was a rather fun thing to do in the winter. I'd imagine that's how reverse wheelspin would work; make the car temporarily FWD, and maybe slightly reduce the friction of the rear wheels wh...

C2 Scientist

I'm fairly sure wheelspin never worked while reversing in C1/C2. The Eagle at least in C1 could make rather tight turns while reversing; maybe this led you to believe wheelspin worked while reversing? :-)

C2 Scientist

But on keyboard, any steering is always at full lock, so it might happen more often than it does on gamepad. :-)<br/><br/>By the way, for those interested, here are the results of a simple test about in which order you can (de)press throttle+steering keys to activate wheelspin (on keyboard):<br/><br...

C2 Scientist

Let's say you make a right turn at a junction, and perfectly align your car with the yellow double stripes on the crossing road. As you let go of the steering, the game will make a small 'correction', and the car will now steer slightly towards the left side of the road.

C2 Scientist

I still would prefer this control to be implemented like it was in C1/C2, having a dedicated button and the effect active simply as long as this button is depressed (regardless of throttle % or steering %). With the way it currently works, you must both double-tap to initiate it, and briefly let go ...

C2 Scientist

Maybe.

C2 Scientist

When the Electric Blue is an opponent in the race, the rays may be killing more peds than they did in C1 due to the increased view distances, though I haven't paid enough attention to be sure.<br/><br/>And if the car can be obtained during the career, would it become too easy to make big profits? If...

C2 Scientist

I would add "Turbo Opponents" to the list, and then use it with "Seeing Red". :-)

As for no more repair on demand, I guess this modifier could also turn some of the powerup barrels into 10-20% repair barrels with a new, distinctive appearance (a wrench icon is typically used here).

C2 Scientist

As a keyboard owner, I'll vote for single-tap wheelspin key. :-)<br/><br/>I'm assuming that in the keybinds file, the double-tap entries will look different from the normal entries, so you will be able to customize anything to your liking. Maybe you can even make your own double-tap keybinds, if you...

C2 Scientist

Also, credits per rank should be the other way around I would think

The rank means the ranks gained in Carmageddon 1: on harder difficulty levels, you had to make more profit in the race to gain ranks.

C2 Scientist

I recognized familiar PT2 controls. Maybe it has been answered somewhere in the thread, but what sort of navigation controls are you planning? For example in 3dsmax, you can bind a key to toggle a "walkthrough" mode, where you can then use the typical FPS controls:<br/><br/><ul class="bb-list" style...

<blockquote class="uncited"><div>I think it would be nice to make new, higher-resolution textures for the map.</div></blockquote> I agree, but on the other hand, the more we wait, the more textures the actual dev team will be able to churn out over time, some of which may be of use in the airport ma...

C2 Scientist

Agreed with a fast launching game.
