Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
Just wondering if anyone can think up a way to have a timer in game to 'start' when you croos the start of a race... but 'stop' when you get to the finish line..
Any weird and wonderful techniques considered...

I've been thinking about that too, but what about a race with more people.. will it stop each time someone crosses the finish line? Or just a personal timer, hmm.. I'll think about it on school, might have an idea later today.

weird and wonderful ways? i got one. have a vehicle object spawn the gate, after i dunno 30 seconds the gate will destroy itself and disappear. cept have this gate linked to the end of the map spawn flag, so when u capture it the gate reappears
[edit] to make it work right the end flag would have to be under control when the game starts, then looses control cause no one is there to keep it

oh lol... uhm I gotta different idea then how about everyone is on one side, the match loses one point per second, and when you reach the end, the flag there evens out the teams so that you stop loosing points.
the tricky part would be coding some sort of trigger to reset the scores, the least biased way would be tied in to the starting fence, and have it go off once every i dunno 5-10 minutes depending on the race
If you don't get that last part to work, then uhm how bout a big ass stop watch made with rotation bundles in the center of the map. And there would be two vehicle entry points for it, one at the spawns to reset the watch and one at the finish to stop the watch (yes this would require you to run out of your car and stop/start the watch as fast as possible

expanding on batmoutardes idea. Use a bik movie for the timer so u can get a digital clock :o... or better yet it shoots a flare into the sky which is the movie, use some particle effects and u can get it to stay in the sky for as long as you want, have it drift a bit then u can know which time is your own

thats nice.. i was thinking it would need to be an object spawn as such.. even a mechanical wheel (timer) which spins.. then you cross the finish and a spawner object actually falls into the 'teeth' of the wheel (cog) and stops it.. would be very pretty if it worked! heheh.. Keep it coming.. i think were getting there,, digital bik movie would certainly be nice.. maybe small blocks that spawn every seconf into a tube.. the tube fills up and when you cross the line they stop spawning... the level they get to in the tube gives you your time..
