RollCage 2022 Race DS

Description
Disclaimer
This map is a fan creation. Made with fun memories of a great game. It is not endorsed by the owner of the original game-title "Rollcage" from 1999.

Latest Updates
v1.1 + v1.2 + v1.3
- Changed the laser beam for Leader Takeout visuals, from a week looking projection to a vibrant particle effect.
v1.0
- It can now run on a dedicated server.
- I branced this scenario off as a new mod, because I could not get some things to work on both a local and a dedicated server. Later this solved itself as I changed things around. Though I decided to keep it branced.
- There are many changes from my original map which is a year old. Too many to list really.

Info
This is a fast and chaotic multiplayer racing game for 1 to 6 players. Though 1pl is not that fun :) If you don't remember the old game of Rollcage, it is somewhat similar to Mario Carts.

Connect to the demo server hosted by me on GTXGaming.com.
Notice that I also use this server for testing new updates. So it might not be up all the time.

Features
Cars that can drive on both "sides". So if the car rolls over, it can continue driving just as well. This is because of the big protruding wheels. Which is done by adding 5x5 wheels to 3x3 suspension.

These cars can not drive on the ceiling as in the original game. But they can do wall-rides.

Five types of power-ups. Picked up around the course.
- Micro Rockets: Shoots 5 shots which will blow up any car that they hit.
- Electro-Ice: Apply slippery ice to any car that is close to you.
- Leader Takeout: Directs an orbital Laser toward the car in 1st place.
- Time Warp: Slows all other cars down for a short time.
- Impact Shield: Protection against Rockets and Laser

Controls
Keys are shown in-game.

There is a button panel at the pit where time-of-day can be changed in 2 hour intervals. Rain or sandstorm can be added as well.

Glitches
In rare circumstance It is posible to knock a wheel off a car. Just limp over the goal-line to finish the race, and leave the car out of following races. It will be reattached when the server is reset.

At very high speeds it is posible to pass through a power-up without collecting it. This is coursed by lacking code in the VRage engine.

The order of the HUD objects sometimes get jumbled. Can mainly be seen on the keyboard-shortcut screen when you enter a car. I don't know why this happens, or if there is a way to fix this.

Non-essential Info
I have used the following mods:
  • RollCage 2022 Extra is my mods to make the scenario work. I was unable to implement them in the scenario upload itself. Though I would think there should be a way.
  • Control Module which is used to read the Shift key. Thanks to Digi for fixing their mod so it could work with my scenario.
  • AQD - No Armor Edges is essential to make the roads and other objects look good.
  • Screen Gunk Be Gone! is not essential. But makes the game look more arcady.

The Goal-line sign was supposed to bob gently up and down. But this didn't work on a DS, so I removed it.

I would love to use the new cab-cockpit as it would probably fit better. But Keen made it a tiny bit bigger than the original cockpit, and refuse to acknowledge and fix it.

An unforeseen problem: While a player connects to the server, it is unplayable because of the lag. So the ideal setup is to make a private server. And have everyone connect before starting a race.
