The team behind the Battleracer (http://br.elxx.net/) mod are back today with their latest mod release. Here's a brief description of the mod as well as the changes in this latest version:

This mod strives to turn the battlefields of BF2 into racetracks. You can jump into DPVs on various racetracks (some new, some actually based on BF2 maps) and race! A big new feature in 1.2 is the stats system. On 'Battleracer Ranked' servers, the results of your races are uploaded to a website where you can keep track of your accomplishments and records. Soon we will also organize tournaments for racers, complete with fully automated scoring.

Six tracks are included in this release - two each from Karkand, Mashtuur, and Seaside Raceway. Later on we will release additional maps.

Download Here! (http://www.filecloud.com/files/file.php?user_file_id=149948)

Looks like a very fun mod to try! Be sure to swing by the site (http://br.elxx.net/) to learn more.

Yea I noticed after I posted and I was too lazy to edit it cause I wanted to play :D You saw me in there Elxx :D

Mod is really cool and fun, but I just hate how everyone rams at the beginning of the race like smacktards. I always get a nice spot off to the side lined up out of the way of everyone and people just run into me to be dicks. Thats okay, I just hang back behind everyone now and I start boosting when I see "1" come up and I fly in front of everyone. :) Great mod. Just needs a little smacktard regulation.

That mod is actually a lot of fun. The new maps beat the pants off the 1.1 maps. Only real suggestion I could make is to add more car spawns to the starting line.

I was surprised that it actually made a fun, if very arcade-y, racing game. The familiar settings in Karkand and Mashtuur don't hurt either.

I do agree that it needs some smacktard regulation. The Sir. server's password must have attracted them or something. :laugh: The hella busy server (forgot its name) was real hectic. I think the best I did on that one was 4th place, starting from the back of the lineup. Racing with about ten players was a lot better, except of course for the "ADD kiddies" (as somebody called them) ramming and shooting each other before the race started. There was more discipline in that regard on the busier server, somehow.

This is best mod so released so far!!

I had an awesome lap on seaside where everything went right, too bad it wasn't ranked..

One time when I was in second I cut the guy off in first which caused the guy in third to hit him... and a "pile up' ensued. I won. :D

I was surprised to see one of the Sir guys on the Sir server taking part in the pre-game ramming aswell. The only guys in there were Elxx and Wadpole and Wadpole was ramming me for my spot on the line every race. We were on Karkand City and I just put my car to the far right as far as I could to allow for the most amount of space on the line and he just rammed me and took my spot everytime. Then when I tried to get on the line there were like 4 cars on the line with huge gaps in between them (but of course, not big enough to fit another car into). I was trying to play seriously but its hard when people are being tards. But, even with Dr. Genius ramming me for my spot, I was first off the line and first over the finish line every time. :)

Sir. Elxx
04-23-2006, 08:01 PM
With any mod like this, there are going to be smacktards. I am recommending that all R+ server providers enable vote kicking so at least in extreme cases you can remove those who are causing problems. We'll work to alleviate these problems as much as we can, but of course most of it is up to the players.

really fun mod!

the only criticisms are that: needs more maps! the ones which exist are great, but more! wake would be real fun, with some crazy bridges.

the other is disqualification is harsh: you can't spawn at all for the whole round :( and the reason for disqualification isn't clear, so you can't avoid it

I found a bug, and confirmed it.

Multiple servers kept crashing. Over a period of twenty minutes, there must have been fifteen crashes between 4-5 different servers. Everybody kept complaining, server hopping. A friend of mine was always my gunner while I raced.

Then, it dawned on me. I know whats causing the crash.

When the gunner switches between seats rapidly (F2 & F3), it reports that the gunner is getting a ten-second penalty, then *POOF* - server is crashed. All within a second. The stability is awesome except for this minor flaw... ;)

Hope you guys can get it fixed in a hotfix, asap! :D

Yeah you really need a server admin present to have a clean and fun game, it seems like some people just live to ruin the fun of others. It's great though and I can't wait to get more maps with some crazy jumps/ramps like Interstate had in BF1942.

I personally LOVE the mod. It's a lot of fun - when FF is off.

With 15+ people, it's almost impossible to have a good race, with all the chaos at teh start line, and then dumped cars on the road, etc... But that's okay.

I hope this mod will make it into PoE2, since Mach10 is one of PoE2 devs. But Sir.Elxx, said that it's just an experiment, so... Maybe he will make even something more special for the Mod.

Some suggestions I have:

1) Make more maps
2) Make more cars spawn at once
3) Be able to see the race track on the map(M), instead of just seeing checkpoints
4) Add Driver controlled weapons - such as Auto-Bazooka, Dual MG's, drop mines from the back.
5) Add more vehicle skins. And player skins.
6) Add more stunt things, such as ramps.

Yeah, you might want to start in the back, it's a cinch to catch up when all the other racers are trying to shove each other off the track.

1) Make more maps
At least four new tracks will be included in 1.21.

2) Make more cars spawn at once
Will be done in 1.21.

3) Be able to see the race track on the map(M), instead of just seeing checkpoints
Due to a limitation in the BF2 engine, we can't exactly do this for each individual track. However, we might add color-coded lines to each minimap to denote the tracks.

4) Add Driver controlled weapons - such as Auto-Bazooka, Dual MG's, drop mines from the back.
Heheh, this is definitely planned.

5) Add more vehicle skins. And player skins.
When new vehicles are added, of course they will be reskinned.

6) Add more stunt things, such as ramps.
You'll love the Kubra Dam tracks ;)

I really like to race!

It looks like the MoaC server is becoming the pro server since more and more racers do know there way on the track.:cry:

I did some server side adjustments and that is working out oke.
First i did turn off friendly fire so its oke the be a noob gunner standing somewhere on the track shooting at racers...:evil:

Then I set the limitations of radio spam a bit higher so the ammount of enemy boats did drop like crazy! :p

For now its oke, maybe ill shorten the start time, so there will be less boosting and ramming.

For now, i'll kick every noobrammer and booster instantly.
It's a race, not a war.
32 racers is a bit chaos, but with some adult behaviour it can be a fun race!!

So, for the serious racers, join our server: MOAC.NL |+R Ranked |creativehosting.nl - IP: 80.69.72.172 : 16567 (standard port)

I agree with those ideas above but I would also like something that shows your place in the race and if you were disqualified or if you missed a checkpoint. the messages at the top move too fast and I dont always have enough time to look there.

[edit] by the way keep up the good work this is a great mod. and are you going to make any chinese maps or original maps like sea side raceway? I would like to see a fushe pass map.

After a bit more playing, i noticed an admin is a MUST. Perhaps boost shuld be turtned off before the race starts. Oh, and make more spawns, i kept dying at the one spawn on seaside race way one time.

GREAT MOD!!

Because of the recent Noobism on servers at the begining of the round I have seen latey I have comprised a little guide for noobs to read it includes pictures so don't worrie. :)

========================================
At the starting Line this is how you should be lined up.
========================================


http://matt1888.googlepages.com/What_races_should_be_like.jpg


=============================
This is not how you should be lined up.
=============================


http://matt1888.googlepages.com/Races_not_like.jpg


----------------------------------------

Elxx to fix this I have come up with an idea. If you could find someway to have the cars not be able to move before the game starts but have cars already lined up at the starting before the game starts that would fix it. To prevent cars from being in the way after people complete a round simply give the cars a timer of about a minute after the game starts before the cars blow up. After that minute trigger a spawn for more cars (that are movable) off to the side of the track like you have now. Doing this would basically defeat any noobish I can think of before the begining of the round. If anyone has any questions or coments please post them here or PM me, Thank you.


AWSOME MOD!!

This mod is awesomeness! I love racing and its nice to see it incorpotated into one of my favorite FPS games :D

However, while playing on the Sir server today, a couple of idiot complainers votekicked me. I got third in the race and after the race they just started calling me a noob and they votekicked me. Silly complainers...I wouldnt be so bothered by it as it is an online game and people like that will always exist, but I was bothered by the fact that the votekick was put up by someone wearing the Sir tag infront of their name(but i didnt recognize the name from the forums). Is there anything that can be done about that? I certainly wouldn't tolerate a member of my community votekicking people just for being better than they are. With the server being password protected, I thought I wouldn't have to put up with childish behavior. I would appreciate it if a Sir member replies to this or contacts me via Private Message.

Helterskelter23

First I have to say: Great Mod! I love the chaos! :D

If its ok I would like to add some 'comments'(some comments could be allready mentioned: just ignore them ;) )
1. I noticed a spawn bug in Sea Side and Karkand.
2. More (space for) cars in the beginning of the race at Karkand & Mashtuur. People keep fighting for buggies and the race sometimes allready started before you have a car. Especially when you have to respawn after being killed by some buggy.
3. Race sometimes does not end at sea side and just keeps going without any result... Only a mapvote can end the race when there is no admin around. People get bored because there no new is race started and leave.
4. Please, do not change the starting line up into a fixed one. I just love the chaos at the start! :laugh: This really adds another dimension to the race. I really enjoy seeing cars going everywhere untill the countdown has started.
5. Maybe you could fix the ghost riding? This is really annoying when you are racing. Maybe blow up the car after 5-10 seconds of ghost riding or something? ;)
6. More firepower on the cars :D (and kill the option of turning off friedly fire on the server :D )
7. More maps!! :)
8. I am not sure if this is a bug or something but sometimes the result on the end of the race sometimes looks messed up. If finished first or second for instance and in the result I get nothing. When I finish as 6th somtimes I get the silver medal?


The last point is not very important because I am not racing for the points. I just love the race and the boosts! But I find the ranking on your server a nice extra to keep track of racing times!!

WTG guys!! Keep up the good work.

Are there server files for this somewhere?

Eglaerinion
04-28-2006, 05:01 PM
Helterskelter23 some of your suggestions only improve the options of smacktards. Maybe it would be nice to see a couple of maps that focus more on destruction (a sort of a destruction derby) and other maps that focus strictly on racing (no weapons).

That spawnbug is most likely not a bug. After you leave a vehicle three times you get disqualified and will be killed immediately after spawning for the rest of the round.

Guess you mean the starting line up? How do you determine the starting position? Qualifying rounds? That would mean a double race. The first one there is on pole? Everybody will shoot each other to be on pole.

Did you also mean the guns? In my opinion this is not a regular race game but BF2 with a race option. I see it as a game where some chaos and violence is permitted because this BF2 has this also as a base. If I did not want that I would have to buy a Formula One game or Colin McRae Rally. I am not saying the buggies must have Anti-Tank material just a little more firepower. There are two guns on the buggy now doing nothing.

You could be right on the spawnbug. If that is so I think its confusing it does not say I am dying because I am disqualified. I think it would be better to make me spectator or disable my spawn point.

I agree with Eglaerinion, it would be great two kind of maps so everybody gets his cup ot tea

First I have to say: Great Mod! I love the chaos! :D
Thanks.

1. I noticed a spawn bug in Sea Side and Karkand.
There aren't quite enough spawn points, more will be added.

2. More (space for) cars in the beginning of the race at Karkand & Mashtuur. People keep fighting for buggies and the race sometimes allready started before you have a car. Especially when you have to respawn after being killed by some buggy.
More car spawns will be added as well.

3. Race sometimes does not end at sea side and just keeps going without any result... Only a mapvote can end the race when there is no admin around. People get bored because there no new is race started and leave.
What server did this happen on? Probably because the server hasn't been updated to Patch C - nobody has reported restart problems on it yet.

4. Please, do not change the starting line up into a fixed one. I just love the chaos at the start! :laugh: This really adds another dimension to the race. I really enjoy seeing cars going everywhere untill the countdown has started.
Well, yeah, it keeps quite a hectic atmosphere. We are planning to do a new starting system in 1.3 or 1.4, but it's quite complicated.

5. Maybe you could fix the ghost riding? This is really annoying when you are racing. Maybe blow up the car after 5-10 seconds of ghost riding or something? ;)
Ghost riding? Like, when somebody exits their car? I wish I could, but it tends to crash the server a lot for some stupid reason.

6. More firepower on the cars :D (and kill the option of turning off friedly fire on the server :D )
Maybe.

8. I am not sure if this is a bug or something but sometimes the result on the end of the race sometimes looks messed up. If finished first or second for instance and in the result I get nothing. When I finish as 6th somtimes I get the silver medal?
You sure you're looking at the right thing? It shows Top3, followed by Race Results, followed by Best Lap Times.

Thanks for the comments guys. Remember...just like Battlefield 2, this mod is still unfinished and buggy. Unlike EA, the Battleracer team is actually working very hard to fix the bugs ;)

Nope, like somebody else said, just run Winamp in the background or something.

Turbo is Alt-F4...i mean, uh, Shift (usually). It's the button that you have set for Afterburner on vehicles.

I've got an problem with this mod:

When i go to Community (Battlefield 2) and select the Battleracer 1.2 mod and press Activate, the game (Battlefield 2) shut down and when the Battleracer 1.2 is starting, just don't want to start.
The monitor is black (like loading the game and preparing to start) and then Windows close the application and returns to Windows (I'm using Windows XP).

What could be the problem? :confused:

tnx

This mod is so awesome... As for the glitches, make sure your Battlefield 2 is patched to the current version. Update your video card drivers, as well as Direct-X, and failing that; try to re-install the mod again.

First of all this mod rocks. Good job guys. Secondly, it is really sad that there are allready a**holes on servers trying to ruin this mod. I was just playing and some d**k named williumsniper (i think thats his name) was tk'ing people at the pit, pushing people at the startline and driving around the track backwards. If you see him on a server i suggest you leave and pick a different one.

Mod's awesome. Love playing these pick-up games. Few issues:

1) If you fall off a cliff or someone bumps your car into a disabled position, your race is finished. You have to go all the way back to the start line, get a vehicle and redo the checkpoint.
2) At that point people just give up and drive their car backwards to ram normal racing people.
3) Which exaserbates the problem because people get bumped off their last checkpoint, and have to restart being a lap behind, and hence they start driving backwards too....
4) Eventually people get the message and just messes around at the beginning of the next race. Turbo'ing into people knocking them off their position, blowing them up, team killing, etc.

There really need to be something where players can't affect other players before the race begins, and to prevent people driving backwards fro screwing people up.

perhaps they have more time to get out of the car bfore it xplodes and the banks of the sea/rivers are less steeper so you can climb up them (ladders would also be handy)
then again, the car could just xplode upon contact when going at a fast speed (i always luv chewing up the guy infront of me with the minigun :D )
