Topic: half-rant about raceing

(wow my account still works)

I started playing teeworlds back when it was called teewars and race was the only mod.

gee those maps were fun

which brings me to my reason for posting. all the current race maps are NOT FUN. they all seem to be puzzles and over uses of the death tile gimmick (I even saw one trying to be a chat room. A CHAT ROOM!). seriously am I alone here? does know one remember to old wide winding tunnel race maps where people fly by faster than any thing else? do people actually like dieing 9999 times just to see the "you win" painted into the back ground at the end of map?

so here's my question are there any race maps made for actually going fast? (don't get me wrong mazes are fun too as long as there is no dummy draging involved. racing should be competitive not team building)

my name is NOT clasic_traveller_die its CLASIC_TRAVELLER_DIEHARD classic traveller is a si-fi rpg from the same era as dungens and dragons lookit up on wikipedia smile

Re: half-rant about raceing

Do you mean race as in: race against other players with a countdown at the start?
or the mod where you: race to get a personal time. Cos we need a mod called live race where players can race against eachother like car races, sport races. Real races!

Bye.

those come the closest but the instakill is still annoying because there doesn't seem to be a single race map without it (I haven't tried bonny yet.)

Finally some one who under stands!

in the first race mod (which was a hack of capture the flag) every one started at the same time (well you could join after the race started just good luck catching up) and it ended when the first person reached the flag.  a count down option would be good

Re: half-rant about raceing

I know what you mean, there was a anti clan server witht these maps, but now it is down.
I think I will set up a server because that is the only good race.

Re: half-rant about raceing

Our weak server is struggling to keep some TeeTV streams and similar up, so we can't host much servers on it, it's much better if we could get an Qi server or similar with the race_mod maps (:

Re: half-rant about raceing

I set up an 0.3 race server, I think it is good enough, from Germany you have 50 ping.
