Inky Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 We will start posting entries soon. Thanks. I forgot that you guys also have to prepare for the PhillyClassic. I don't see how you have time to do it all. Albert has an army of Lawn Gnomes he brought to life by invoking mystical chants from the Necromicon.

gus Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Some days ago I posted an explanation of the lap counter in the Indy 500. The logic in the original game isn´t working very well, you know the cheat for quick laps: http://www.atariage.com/software_hints.htm...ftwareHintID=69 I sure that this "bug" in the game program can be the problem that Prof Procyon has. So I will make a better document about the way that really works. It´s a little more complex, because not works the same way on all laps, this permit the mentioned cheat. Maybe I will need to change that on the final program. Anyway feel free to design your tracks, I promese you that the laps will be counted in the right way. Have Fun...

jedijeff Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Maybe I will work on a 7800 version of the Indy 500 Gus That would be awesome Gus. I hope Al has time to post some entries on the submissions page this weekend. They might inspire some more track designs.

Albert Posted March 1, 2004 Author Share Posted March 1, 2004 I just finished posting the first batch of submissions! There are 68 entries up there now, and a wide variety of very cool tracks. I haven't had a chance to try them all myself, yet. Not everyone's tracks are accounted for, there were problems with a few and I will email everyone individually who falls into this category so you can correct the problem(s) and resubmit your tracks. I look forward to seeing more great entries!! ..Al Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/44534-indy-500-xe-track-design-contest-winners-announced/page/2/#findComment-545885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Thanks. I see that someone did a Yars' Revenge track. Hmmmm. . . I wonder what other HSW game I could use as the theme for a track? Let me think. . . still thinking. . . not there yet. . . I got it! I could make an E.T. track and the Crash n' Score blocks you collect would be the candy from E.T. That might be fun.

Albert Posted March 6, 2004 Author Share Posted March 6, 2004 These tracks look NICE. I think everyone's done a great job. Wouldn't want to be judging. I agree, there are tons of great entries! This is certainly due in part to the great editor Gus put together! Being able save and load your creations, as well as choose the color palette and car starting locations really gives you a lot of flexibility. Btw, I posted another 40+ entries after my last message, so we're now up to 149 I believe. And I have received more since then.. ..Al Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/44534-indy-500-xe-track-design-contest-winners-announced/page/2/#findComment-549984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dones Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I got a question: how many tracks will the extra 2K allow? Since there are so many good track submissions, have you guys considered making the cart 6/8K instead of 4?

jedijeff Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I didn't know there was an updated track editor that fixed the lap counting bug until a few days after the contest ended. Otherwise I would have sent in a few more entries. Of course I'm sure Al doesn't mind having a few less entries to post.

Albert Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 Finally! The last 130 entries have been posted to the Indy 500 XE Contest Submissions pages. You can view the thumbs and download the binaries for any individual entries, although the full-size screenshots are not available for the latest additions (I will put them up as soon as Gustavo sends them to me). Many thanks to Gustavo who has helped with updating these pages and much of the tedious work of taking the screenshots and renaming files. With this out of the way, we can now choose our favorites, create a final version of the game (we had a demo version available for play at PhillyClsasic 5) and wrap up the contest! ..Al Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/44534-indy-500-xe-track-design-contest-winners-announced/page/2/#findComment-567741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
