Methias 10-01-2004, 06:19 AM Do you guys remember that for Tribes 1? There was this awesome map that was basically a HUGE skiing coarse. It started with this gigantic ski ramp ala Winter Olympics skiing long jump. By the time you hit the bottom you were cruises at breakneck speeds. Maybe I'll just have to make this myself. But any mappers out there should consider it for fun :). ricky_dodge 10-01-2004, 06:21 AM XtremeSki 1 and 2, you mean. Methias 10-01-2004, 06:23 AM yeah! xpdnc 10-01-2004, 07:34 AM with the way physics and skiing are handled, it'll be impossible Amadeus 10-01-2004, 08:21 AM Because? CombatWombat 10-01-2004, 06:17 PM Because you cant ...turn. You'll hit the banking and VOOOOOOSH off it like a ski jump. The grappler would add an interesting new element to it though... Magnezm 10-01-2004, 06:34 PM How bout we wait for the game to release first. Then after everyone is tired of the maps that are released with the game, that someone then release a fresh map to keep the community interested. Until then, stfu.

The grappler would add an interesting new element to it though... What about an Xtreme Grappling map?? BitRaiser 10-01-2004, 06:55 PM 2 words... Skate park!! KillerONE 10-01-2004, 07:02 PM With the new lateral movement, it'd be possible for the light armor atleast. I'd think so anyway. TheGrudge 10-01-2004, 07:18 PM Oh man... I had this vision of a great map. Think of it as a training map of sorts for ski/jet/grapple/jump. Imagine it being incredibly fast with loops and dips and hills and all kinds of stuff... except you'd have to use more than just ski. You'd have to grapple a bar or something here and there and then swing around a half pipe type thing then launch yourself to the next section and ski down then go into a loop... ect ect. It could be up high in the air so that if you fall, your dead and would have to start over. Would be a great way to practice. I'm all for T:V obstical courses. Pachacutec 10-01-2004, 07:33 PM yeah xtremeski just wouldn't work, you'd lose momentum just on the start. doh :( FishStix 10-01-2004, 07:41 PM xtremeski was the shiznat. but i dont think it will work, seeing as how maps are limited to such a small space.... FishStix 10-01-2004, 07:41 PM yeah xtremeski just wouldn't work, you'd lose momentum just on the start. doh :( *beep* wrong frictionless = :D Pachacutec 10-01-2004, 07:42 PM its not truely frictionless, i'm sure if you skiied on a plane for a bit it would eventually stop. Terr 10-02-2004, 12:57 AM Junglegym. Large ski-hostile map with very abrupt crevasses etc, with enough random posts and occasional crossbars scattered around that good grappling can get you going at a pretty fair clip. Hmmm. Amadeus 10-02-2004, 04:30 AM xtremeski was the shiznat. but i dont think it will work, seeing as how maps are limited to such a small space.... Maps aren't limited to a small place, the ones in T:V are small by design. Larger size might be more demanding on cliets though... xpdnc 10-02-2004, 10:08 AM 1. no carving. xtremeski revolved around the fact that a slight turn in the ramp would push you in an intended direction 2. you lose momentum very quickly while moving up a slope and you drop like a rock KillerONE 10-02-2004, 11:08 AM Either noone knows what carving is. Everyone has their own definition or There's lot of speculation going on. The terrain does push in the direction in T:V. You do have lateral movement in T:V. You lose "some" momentum while moving up a slope, jetting helps. Drop like a rock? You maybe couldn't cookie cutter Extremeski over to T:V, but I think something like it could be easily adapted. | ||
