I can load it, it is pretty huge. So here is a screenshot.
I'll release something soon.

start BZFS is the replacement and works well on even 64 bit msdoze 7. also attach the rubber band to the hamster wheel. ; )

I have a model and some screen shots of a race track test. Model is a bit hard to get into a world but I am making gradual process. Some help I would like is how to make the shiny floor with reflection and how to set skidding and floor death, any good man pages for that? Could be a rabbit chase, fre...

Nurburgring Grand Prix Rennstrecke.zip bzfi0010.png 3.png 1.png I finally had time to get a working racetrack mesh object in a BZWorld file. Just a track and no world furniture as yet. Think I will put it in a game in a bit. Here it is if you want to try it out or include it in yours. :mrgreen: I'l...

Thanks, I'll update the world name when I release it. I just cut and pasted from a site on grand prix race tracks that showed outlays. I'm sure your correct though.

I would save your model to a mesh .obj file and then convert it to a .bzw, the forum did not allow an upload of the .obj file format. Also try smoothing normals as that may help get rid of angular road edges. Another thought is your world might need to be 2000 square units or even much larger to say...

If you want to make the model usable in a bzw check out this post http://stats.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=15338 I will try to fix the orientation issues and put the file here but since I cannot test on win 7 with the bztestlauncher then you still may need to do some scaling, rotation, et...

Hi again, I'm releasing the track as a BZW map object Nürburgring Grand-Prix Stecke by http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=16840 is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

I just need to convert into a bzfworld or wings format. To get it working I don't have a good environment as I can't run BZ test launcher on Windows 7. So I'll just post as an object and not a map as soon as I can, in the next couple of days or so. Anyone interested can play with scale. If you size ...

Hi, I've made a model of the Nürburgring Grand-Prix Stecke racetrack. I'll upload it to play with pretty soon. Mr. Apple is the race track master so maybe he can use it. I think I might make a tutorial on how to make roadways soon and I'll throw up a link, burp. Here is a screenshot. Nürburgring Gra...

Yes, but they don't follow curved planes I'm guessing.

Its a different ramp project as I released the freeway interchange idea in another thread recently. The freeway has a flat surface, so not inclined; better for running about on. This one could work with wings or the slope mesh physics driver.

I don't know if I will use it as my plate is full and I have had problems with test launcher on Win 7 so far. I was hoping someone drops it in a game so I can see how it is implemented.

OK, for your sake, here is a BZWorld file exported from Wings, hope Dad is happy.
I guess you will have to scale, position, and orient with word pad or some such.
Your Dad play BZFlag?

This is a model of a triple ramp fork that is curving and inclined with buttresses, asphalt and concrete textures (hopefully they come through). The licence is CC 3.0 and not for commercial use without my OK. The object needs scaling likely and may need to be un grouped as I can't get it to load in ...

Private.

OK, I had to pull that file. It is possible the that it could be contested even though it was significantly modified from source and likely was obtained under the freedom of information act. Should have done more checking before posting, sorry.

You can get superior results using InkScape. What works is, if I remember correctly, saving the file as a DXF which is CAD format. I find that you can then open in Sketchup and extrude lines into the Z dimension. It is better to use polygons however b splines might have potential as well. You can ad...

Good implementation of the inclined plane. If code was modded you might no have to bump along, maybe glide instead. Then you would have slope driving. I'm sure I'll get modded down for that heretical thought though : )

Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed it. I have a more developed model I'd Like to do textured median striping, etc. Very time intensive, though. In the future in car navigation will be similar so I though it would be nice if BZF got some virtual interchanges, then you could do navigation and ro...

I got the flickering solved on Win 7 - 64 AMD 64 ATI HD 4800, the problem isn't the card but that the compatibility install for BZFlag on 7 seems to default at video at 16 or 8 bits or some such so just change video settings in BZFlag under options to 32 bit and Voila!

Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot, glad you liked the design. It was symmetrical along one axis but I know what you mean. Thanks for giving the credit. I'm just trying to avoid some commercial enterprise scooping stuff up, mostly. I look forward to trying out your improved version once I have some free time. Looks like ...

Thanks for the link, I'll give it a try.
