GTA:San Andreas Street Racing League

Anyone tried the cement truck for Hard and Heavy? That thing is so fast, I love it... but if you flip you can't right it at all.

 

Here's another race entry: Bridge to Bridge Hustle

[Killer_Waffle]

aye aye matie, grabbing them right now....

catching up on the new posts of today, spent 5h waiting in a hospital

for a friend...long long day, but some very good videos on the forum tonight

 

btw, mxyzpltk, did you use the code for reduced traffic or not? what's the advantage to using that?

wouldn't it be more fun to dodge the traffic while racing? i know on the pc version i won't be able

to turn that off

banzaiiiiiiiiiiii baby!

[Mxyzptlk]

I used reduced traffic in B2B Hustle, as per the requirements. It makes it so the challenge is more racing the other competitors, not dodging cars. I hope your friend is ok now!

A little offtopic but are there any capture cards for PAL televeisions?

You don't need a television for capture cards, but they will record at PAL rate. Beeble and Adamcs are using Winfast 100, I'll find the link....

 

Winfast VC100

2 solid races, but the vid quality of b2b hustle is off the hook,

that's a hell of a clear image you captured there

 

have a for that!

[Mxyzptlk]

I've been recording all my vids at the same quality.... must be the WMM compression for the shorter races.... short races = better video quality. Like Hard & Heavy was 73MB and I chopped it in half.... B2B I only lowered like 25%; don't want to upload files bigger than 50MB.

 

Me and Juan don't need no stinkin nitros!

[-beeblebrox-]

You bastard !!! How the hell did you do that?

 

Dang.

[juan_salad]

Well, if I'd have remembered the Hotring Racer was an option I would've kicked both your asses. In fact, I still will! Just you wait

[Mxyzptlk]

New submission woo!

 

Dusty Chicken, the song is fun but ironic, since I used Juan's path.

yep that was awsome mxyz I think I might be able to beat it .

[Mxyzptlk]

It wasn't that great guys! Man, I tried that race with a mountain bike... what a joke!

 

I got a rules question, what if I submit a new video for Quad Quest? Would I get 40pts for 1st place and 20pts for 2nd? I ask because what if I want 1st place in a race I've already done? Does my old score get deleted? I'm guessing each racer only gets their best time posted once per race, and replace it whenever eh?

Only your best time is counted. The old time will be removed from the board.

Thought so, just getting that in the clear.

 

Someone design a new race, I'm ready to win some more!! Hey Killer Waffle, you check this thread sometimes, how about making a course?

Edited April 18, 2005 by Mxyzptlk

[Killer_Waffle]

i do follow this thread rather closely, it's great fun watching the races

and soon hope to try to beat those times or cause some huge crashes

while trying to beat them ...

 

i could try to design a course mxyzptlk, but keep i mind that i only know the game

so far from videos & screenshots, so i only have the small maps on the forum to

work with to design a route, but i'll give it a go

Great! You can use the java map to see routes and possible start/finish locations. We try to pick something very clear like picking up an item or colliding with something so the exact instant of the finish is obvious... hope you have a good one for us!

[SWEETSAPRIK]

How big is too big of a route for a race?

[Mxyzptlk]

We have been trying for 3-5 minute courses, but a little longer wouldn't be bad, I think. Feel free to submit one!

[SWEETSAPRIK]

I couldn't enter for a few reasons, first my usb capture device blinks out every once in a while, so it'd look like I'd edited, and second my connection is so slow that it'd take me hours to upload a vid clear enough to view.

 

But I ask because I run this route all the time just for fun, ( route ) and I'd be interested to see how other people do on it. I never use cheats, and almost always use nitro's. What car you use doesn't really matter because a car like the turismo (even though it's fast as hell) is far less likely to survive the whole thing than a slower but stronger one. Yeah, and just incase it wasn't obvious, I run it clockwise.

 

If it's too big I understand, I just figured it would be worth a shot.

I like it! It might be too long for video but I'll definitely try it.... where do you start? For SSR purposes I think the gas station at RS Haul might be a good place for clearly defined start and end positions; start on the sidewalk and finish by ramming into the pumps!

[SWEETSAPRIK]

I usually just start anywhere and then just end at the same spot, for SSR I was thinking start on the onramp in SF and make driving under the bridge, or through that intersection the finish, but anywhere you guys find to be fit, would be fine.

 

I only started running this after having circled the whole map a few times. I read in a thread somewhere, someone saying that they circled the whole map on the outermost route, and a time came up on screen. I knew it was BS because I had already done it, using a few different "outermost" routes, and because there is no one outermost route, there are a few options.

 

But it got me thinking of a race through all of the cities, and this is the shortest one that is survivable. (For me anyway.) As it is I usually end up driving a bit slower, and more careful through the last part of it just to stay alive.

 

I've done it in about 15 different vehicles, and it's a pain in the balls to actually finish, mostly because even if you don't smash your car to pieces, you'll be almost finished and get rammed of the road into the water or something.

Other than the one crash.. I'm satisfied with this time.
