Add flag for flat faces to always face camera

It would be helpful for track makers to have the ability to create custom objects or instances that can always face the camera (like the sun in museum 2), it doesn't need to be a 3d object, just a 2d polygon would be more than enough.

Re: New single-player feature: Switch that disables any custom content

There already is, you can create a shortcut for the game and add the launch parameter -nouser to completely remove custom content, -nousercars for removing custom cars only and -nouserlevels for removing custom tracks.

Re: New Pickup Idea: Shield / Ballon + Water Interaction with Bomb

That's a nice question - I assume the Shield could work as a "ghost" effect, in which the cars would simply phase through such obstacles. I dont know how easy or feasible it is to draw such behaviour from the Time Trial Ghost for example. Should be pretty easy since the game does this alr...

Re: New Pickup Idea: Shield / Ballon + Water Interaction with Bomb

Oh, so the shield wouldn't nullify the zap/star effect like a battery, which is simpler I guess. Do you think you should be able to pass through balls and fake pickups?

Re: New Pickup Idea: Shield / Ballon + Water Interaction with Bomb

I don't really know about the water in general defusing the bomb (how about garden/nhood2 ripple streams?), as in it would be very nice to have in team races, but in free for all it would make little change (and I don't know how hard it could be to implement). The shield pickup on the other hand is ...

Visible feedback for starting boost

Right now if you get the starting boost you just get it and sometimes you don't even notice, which is not great when learning this new mechanic. It would be nice to have some kind of visual cue or feedback, for example a fading out battery effect, so that when you actually get the starting boost, yo...

Re: Speed property in ncp file

We wouldn't be using any program, it would be a property of any surface in the properties.txt. About how easy it is to code something in the game, I honestly don't know if it's going to be hard or easy, it would be a first in the changelog for sure, I don't know of any physics change in the game.

Re: Speed property in ncp file

My suggestion is not to implement force field in another editor mode. My suggestion is to simply implement a % speed modifier on ncp polygon data. It would be a new line in the properties.txt that says "Speedmod" and a number in % of the top speed of the car, so that when the car goes over...

Speed property in ncp file

This suggestion is a thing creators may miss a lot. Now, there are some ways to mess with the car's speed, but none of them feel "right". Yes we could use a force field opposite to the car's expected direction, but this messes with the physics as well, especially if the car is traveling in...

Issue with animated textures

The game currently supports animated textures only in the first 10 texture pages, even though the plugin will allow to use texture pages up to 63. This limits the amount of texture pages that can be animated to 10, which is an issue if I use one file for each object (the reason for using a file for ...

Re: New AI NODES

I guess new nodes would help with creating tracks with more competitive, general purpose AI. For example a turn can be fast enough with slow cars to be taken full speed, but super pros, pros and even semi-pros may need to slow down to a fixed speed (i.e. 40mph, which is never even reached by rookies...

Re: Disable Car Collision in MP; suggestion regarding getting the same pick-up twice in a row

Re: Honk SFX should keep distance in mind at all times

About the honk being louder if used before the race start I think it's because the game doesn't send any packets before the "GO!", and when the race starts all the honk packets gets sent at the same time, making it loud like someone is honking 50 times at once. About the honk not fading aw...

Make the clones/pickups server based

As title, the host should be responsible for clones (and normal items). Right now it could happen for someone to see a clone disappear (or stay in place even after someone else exploded on it), I think clones and pickups should behave based on what the host sees like zaps and bombs. This could help ...
