We could enter our times ? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11xfxFl67mOYFjWb5Xcu4fENb4sMTpv2-bTkWMn9_99M/edit?usp=sharing We could work out a formula between that could highlight 1st, 2nd and 3rd on each track.

+therealbountybob Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 I take back any criticism of the 1 player game, all it was lacking was some decent courses and some other people's times to compare to; and now we have both Most times with a dab on the brakes on the corners you can complete each track without crashing Afternoon Session! Taking a few laps to improve now, hopefully will be starting to give RT a challenge 1*- 1:05:0 2 - 1:15:3 3 - 0:14:6 4 - 0:57:6 5 - 0:36:4 6 - 0:32:2 7 - 0:32:4 8 - 0:34:3 - another nice simpler circuit 9 - 0:44:7 10 - 1:02:7 11 - 0:06:1 - anyone wanting a quick go pick out some of the short circuits! 12*- 1:30:1 - which sicko designed this one?!! 13 - 1:04:3 - this is a very nice circuit 14 - 1:02:3 15 - 0:48:4 16 - 0:33:5 17 - 0:28:9 *check direction after crashing on these circuits Post #3 has the latest HSC GP Standings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, in the summary post on page 1 you have listed times as M:SS:0T which makes ít look like hundreds of a second. You probably want to edit all times to the M:SS:T format.

You probably want to edit all times to the M:SS:T format. I noticed this too, i'll have a look at the spreadsheets format options I'm trying to get into it, but I'm having difficulty. I'll keep playing and try to post times for all the tracks, but I'm not sure how competitive I'll be in this one. Start on the more open / straighter Tracks 11 and 8 are good - I thought the same at first but the more I've played the more I've enjoyed the game. Look at "Make Trax" before racing to see what is coming up (press start to exit). Dabbing the breaks before every corner and spotting the pre-corner road change is key. I'm interested in your NTSC times to see if the game is balanced (or we can add in the "fiddle factor"!) - emulator users might try PAL if things are faster of course @CC are you on PAL or NTSC? I've squashed things down a bit HSC GP Standings, now where did all my top times go?! I'm blaming you carlsson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) I realized sometimes it pays off to cut corners, i.e. drive across the grass if there are no obstacles there. Usually you lose speed going outisde the track, but you would lose speed braking in the corners as well. Captain Classic listed his times as M:SS.T with a dot instead of a colon to separate the last part. It seems to have survived better in the summary, so perhaps we all should try to list times in that format to not get that extra zero? Not that it really matters for the standings, it just looks silly if every lap record was set within the first 9 hundreds of a new second. As for XEX versions, I suppose the original game would need to be hacked into at least 9 different games, each containing two preloaded courses and you would have to load the respective XEX games. While I'm fairly well versed in machine code, I've never looked into hacking Atari games like this.

+therealbountybob Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Excel (my old ver) will format the cells as HH:MM:S but when I create a PRN for pasting here it reverets to HH:MM:SS (I know we are using tenths!) I can't recreate what I did with CC's times (copy/ paste / edit) so these will be in the same format as the others next update. We'll live with this I've been thinking about the scoring for this round and maybe using fractions for each race and improvement e.g. All actual HSC points Each Race 0.3pts (so if you played all 18 that's 6pts) Each Improvement place 0.2pts - might need to limit/reduce this depending on # of players to keep top player's max score should be between 12 and 24 points) 1pt for most wins overall Will run something through later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I believe you can define custom cell formats in Excel. I ran a live tournament in Micro Hexagon last month and prepared OpenOffice to use a format M:SS.T everywhere. I don't know what it'd export to though. But it is no biggie. I wonder about the extra bits of tracks on the inside of the Indy 500. Is that supposed to be pit stop, disabled from the main track?

+therealbountybob Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Ok I've been crunching the numbers and we have some proper HSC scoring in place, these are real HSC points so maximum is 20. Remember the "Ice Trucker Challenge" counts as Track 18 (it's Trax #17 with ICY FAST 100MPH). Will start the round 5 Poll tomorrow HSC Points For each race: 1pt for Win, 0.9pts for 2nd, 0.8pts 3rd... down to 0.1pt for 10th and below. Plus 1pt for highest score (#included), then, plus 1pt for most wins ($included).
