Now, I usually Don't like to hype up maps because if I don't finish them I end up looking like a dumbass, but since I'm pretty far in this I think I will.





RC (Remote Controlled) Challenge is a unique type of map, instead of controlling the unit yourself, you use a starport to control it, it is sort of like a gamepad,

Valkyrie (Y) = Down
Science Vessel (V) = Up
Battlecruiser (B) = Right
Dropship (D) = Left
Wraith (W) = Switch Between 1st Person and 3rd Person Mode.
There are 3 Modes, Racing, Killfest And Elimination. You use a Hoverbike (Vulture) or Heavy Car (Siege Tank) in each of these Modes. There is a Custom Health Bar at bottom left of map, every time you get hurt You lose Health, once all your health is gone, you lose.



This mode is pretty Self Explanatory, but there are some things that are different.
-The race track has mines randomly placed throught it, which can make you lose health.
-There is a flag Half-way through the track that can reveal mines once stepped on.
-There are patrolling science vessels you have to cross which can also make you lose health.
First one to finish 4 laps wins this.



This mode is a little different, you get to choose between 3,6, and 9 rounds. Pedestrians (Civilians) spawn from the middle and junkyard around the Playing field, you try to run them over with your car, first to 75 kills wins each round. Whoever wins the most rounds, wins this.



This is the most famous mode, first of all, this is Last Man Standing, so you have to destroy all the other cars, once your car is destroyed you lose this. You get to choose between Hoverbike (Vulture) and Heavy Car (Siege Tank). The only way to inflict damage, other then the items is to crash into your enemies, Hoverbikes will do less damage to Heavy cars during crashes but are faster. items are Randomly Spread throughout the Playing Field. The Items Are loaded on to a dropship menu when you get them, you unload them on the players beacon you want to use them on.
The items I have thought up of so far are:

Ice Beam: This Item launches a Beam of Ice at whatever unit you attack and takes off 1 square of health.
Sabotage: This item will Slow down whatever unit you use it on.
Freeze This item will freeze the player you use it on for 20 seconds.
Archon Shield This item will create a rotating archon around your vehicle hurting anyone who tries to crash on it, lasts for 40 seconds.
Invincibility: This item will make you invincible to crashes for 20 seconds.
Cannon Ball: This item will launch a cannon ball at your player and take off 2 squares of Health.
Invisibility: This item will make your car invisible to other players for 1 minute.

Thats all I have thought of for this map so far, as of now I'm about 70% done, I did the first 2 modes, and finished about 20% of Elimination. I will post some more Screenies and a playable demo soon .

Thanks to Deathknight2004 for Gamepad idea

Wow dude!

That going to be "REALLY" great. Im a fan of Rc car! But something i don't under stand now... How you going to go 1st person to 3rd person?

1st Person mode = Always Center view on your car.
3rd Person mode = Lets you look around map.

Sounds pretty kool although the controls might be a littl confusing and might take more than one game to master.....

sounds really kewl and very original, im assuming its fast build neway gl screenshot looks nice too

Hmm Devilesk, thats a good idea, I'll see if i can do that. Thanks for your suggestions.

Silent(u) You are a master ..

..if you can make the rc make a Burn out at the start

Hmm, I think I will do that Sessase, Keep telling me suggestions, I'll be sure to add them

that screenshot doesn't show anything..the idea seems weird..silent is fat = this map looks cool/weird/fat i mean ya

more screenshots of actual game play

Dear god yes *drools* anyway That sounds like a freaking awesome idea and the screenies are awesome looking. KEEP IT UP Silent(U)

will this map have 4x? cuz tank is pretty slow

If I decide to speed it up at all it will be 2x, not 4x, also I uploaded some more In-game Screenshots if you look up.

will goin left and right be relative to the way the car is facing or just like left is left and right is right

and no reverse?

I'm pretty sure I can make it Relative, also, reverse would just be the opposite of where you are going already.

P.S. I added the Progress Bar to my Signiture

and how r u gonna make it so that u cant control your race car directly?

Simple, It is owned by a computer player. That way you cannot control it whatsoever.

so only four players in the game?

Yup only 4,

BTW: I added a pic of the burn-out effect I added. Thanks Sessase

where i dont c the pic? oh nvm, looks kewl what about making the vulture move in circle like its spinning

So far so good; Im pretty impressed with just the style and use of the concept of this gamepad thing.

Thanks for all the encouragement, also I made the movement relative to where its facing.

what about making it so that all cars belong to 1 comp so u can have 7 player

That would definately make things alot more difficult for me, and I would have to start all over again, so I doubt it, this works out just fine for me anyway.

looks cool, can't wait to play

Make it like 7 player game and do this



I have been wanting to make a map using the UP, Down , left, movement only thingy, although I'd have used a dropship. I can't believe I never thought of a racing game, damnit. Oh well, this game sounds cool
