JLV, I'm not going to ask for a date when you think you'll be done but rather what kind of things will this allow us to do/have? What do players have to look forward to? Any long standing "suggestions" that this might open the door to? Tear offs? :lol:

The first thing I want to add is movable track objects. Probably armatures too for flaggers and the like. Eventually I'd want to rewrite things like the HUD so it could be replaced with custom scripts. I'm sure there's lots of other stuff it'd be handy for that I'm not thinking of right now. Maybe custom scoring for stuff like enduros? It'd be useful in so many ways.

MEC joker lane. :twisted:

Are sounds, like from a crowd, part of scripting? Chainsaws at MXON.

I wouldn't describe it as part of scripting, but scripting would definitely be something you'd need if you wanted the sound to do anything more interesting than just loop. There are a million things like that where it'd be insane to hard code something like a Millville chainsaw guy but it'd be fine for a one off script for one track.

How about maybe both? My guess if the system with the current shape files are still in place, it'd be both but the use of objects that you can't run through would be more like in real life/other games, where they're moved and you either crash or slow down. Just guessing.

You could probably set a reset timer on them ;)
