GTA:San Andreas Street Racing League

[SWEETSAPRIK]

Sweets, looks like a nice race. Can you tell us if it's under 5 minutes? Then you can submit race details to me, I can produce the pics if needed.

I'd never really timed it before, since I had no one to compare times with. But I did it a few times today and got the following.

 

 

Elegy	4:47	Wasted about 15 seconds due to crashes.
Cheetah	4:47	Wasted about 15 seconds due to crashes.
Infernus	4:34	Went slow towards end to make finish line.
Infernus*	5:07	Entered pay n'spray in LS.(Next to transfender)

You guys should be able to beat the crap out of every one of those times, for the reasons I mentioned above. In both of the first two, the car made it in half-decent shape. In the third I was smoking, and I slowed down so I'd survive to write down an average time. And in the fourth I was screwed by the time I hit LS so I resprayed, and only finished to see what the time would be.

 

But assuming you guys are much better than me, I would guess that around 20 seconds (At least.) could be cut off of those times if there are no crashes. (I have a tendency to "Drive it like I stole it".)

 

I went clockwise, and started all of them at the on-ramp in SF. But for your purposes Mxyzptlk said something like the gas station by the RSHaul would be better. I also used nitro's in every race. I've hit 100% so I think my cars have double damage. I also modded the Elegy, and the Cheetah with everything I could except hydraulics, but I don't think that has any effect on speed, durability, or handling.

 

If you guys were going to run it, you should change whatever you need to, but judging by those times, I'd use a Turismo, or Infernus to keep it shorter.

Bridge To Bridge Hustle - 2:22

 

My first attempt at one of these races. I wasn't sure if it was required that I knocked over the traffic light or not; if not, it's a 2:22 time, and if it is required, it's a 2:23 time.

 

That's an awesome time, ball. I'll download your vid now. ~az

Thank you, and you're welcome.

 

When I finished this race last night, this was the 1st place time, but of course Snow had to stroll along and cut 15-ish seconds off it. ~az

Well done ballofsnow bastard!! ;-) and well done azazel.!! Since the tournament judge ain't round here much anymore, I reckon I just need the agreement of Mxyz and/or ballofsnow to make a time of 2:20 official, since that's the time the back of the car hit it the pole. Well done!!

 

Website's been updated too, I really need to catch up, and I will, promise!!!

I think 2:26 should be Azazel's time, just so I can stay in second... but no, 2:20 sounds fine to me.

I don't have a USB capture device thingy or whatever you call it, so can't have a vid. But still tried the Quad Quest.

 

Time: 5:34 (was damn hard controlling the quad)

 

Followed every rule (radar turned off, started at 00:00, etc.) except not having a USB capture device thingy (is that how you call it?).

You don't absolutely need a USB device, you can also use a PCI video capture card, digital camera, camcorder or webcam; as long as the time on your HUD is readable. Some devices are as cheap as $30 US / 15 GBP.

[Mxyzptlk]

Great Quad race Ballofsnow! I was an idiot not to use that route from Truth's to the gas station.... I saw you turn and I slapped my forehead "doh!" I got lost down in Back o Beyond on my submission, won't happen next time!

Teh website is teh updatedness indeed. Yes siree Bob. 

Nice!

 

Sweetsaprik, your course looks awesome, and using any vehicle/mods!

 

Beeble, I think the vehicle from Police impound is supposed to be a police car, the bikes don't spawn parked there, right? Also, please change the second leg from FCR-900 to police car.

[Killer_Waffle]

me speak yoda'ish today, update good website beeble

Thanks for that, the race description said police car but the vehicles list said FCR-900

 

Don't know whether any of you use them of not, but I'm about to upload the new zip file of all the races, so you can see them if (god forbid ) you're not online at the time. They'll give you a taster of how the site is gonna look once I get frames on it.... which is exactly the same as it does now, but easier for me to edit.

 

This plan may not go ahead though, as the fixed frames may make the frame with the map in too small for some people's liking.

[Mxyzptlk]

I don't use the offline files, but more power to ya!

[Killer_Waffle]

arrr, it's a police car that's needed indeed

slight mistake in the vehicules list, sowwy bout that

No problemo Killer.

 

On the subject of frames (that zip file will be up in 20 minutes due to last minute changes), I just had a really good idea, I'm going to put the text to the side of the race map instead of underneath.

 

Please could everyone download the above zip file when it's done (I'll edit the post and say when) and give me your feedback on it. I think it would really work well on the main site, so tell me what you think.

 

EDIT: No php support on freewebs, and I ain't too good at it either. Mind you, I didn't know how to do frames until 30 minutes ago!!

[Mxyzptlk]

Since we're troubleshooting, someone want to explain why my WMP at home only has right channel sound? I get stereo from other applications. Or, at least recommend a solid alternative to WMP.
