Fail Valley International Speedway

[penguinmessiah]

Though I was not a forgehub member when I created this map, I thought I would post it here because the tutorials and threads I read on this website helped me create this map. Without knowing how to interlock/merge objects with each other and the actual map, this track would have been completely impossible to create.

The following is an almost word for word copy of the map in my bungie.net file share - it currently has 125 downloads, 12 ratings, and a 5 star average.

----------

Fail Valley International Speedway is a typical banked raceway featuring four extremely smooth banked curves, two main straights, a pit facility with eight garages - each with their own mongoose, and many other features, including advertising boards on the back straight, grandstands on the front, and all the usual stuff you would find on a typical oval track. It supports up to eight players in close, fast-paced racing on a smooth, un-broken track. Everything on Fail Valley International Speedway is perfectly merged together, and includes a pit entry and exit sunken into the floor to allow the smoothest possible pit stops.

Although the track was designed to be compatible with a VIP gametype similar to Racetracks, the lap time is shorter than the minimum destination movement time of ten seconds - which means that every now and then a lap will be completed which doesn't cound towards your score. Sadly, this means that there is no way of scoring a race aside from honour rules.

Thank you to everyone who makes the forge community what it is, and to all those who created the tutorials - as you can see, there is a whole lot of merging in this map which makes it what it is! Thank you forgehub!

I have to say this is one of the most well interlocked racetrack I've seen yet, shows alot of interlocking skill.

For those of you that cant find the map it's here. http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=18067267

Thank you guys. I feel like a noob for missing out on the link. :squirrel_rubberduck:
Thanks again.

This is much better than most of the other 'speedway' themed maps. The amount of time you spent on it really shows, and it looks incredibly nice.

This map is well forged, but could use something to make it different from other race maps, perhaps obstacles that spawn later in the game.

Another thing is that all of the mongeese do not spawn in the same area, and there is nothing to stop a player from sitting inside the goal area, and scoring points, which make me think of this as more of an aesthetic racing map, but in that regard it is very good!

Well when I realized that the regular VIP scoring system wouldn't work, I decided to forego the game mechanics in favour of making an extremely well constructed track. If the gametype worked I might've made it foolproof - but it certainly wasn't worth ruining the look of the map if you can't properly score it anyway.

Hey, as long as your friends aren't morons who'd rather cheat than have a fun race, it's still great to play on.

The map is fine as it is, I like it a lot.

Unfortunately, the general public does consist of morons, so to make it more widely playable you may want to consider fixes, possibly two seperate versions, one with great beauty, one with great playability.
