Preview Racing Mod Enhanced

[iAegle]

So basicly I'm just updating the RCXD racing mods posted on this forum but I just wanted to show you guys what I made so far and also I need some help with balancing the different cars

Speed display on the hud:

I changed the position and shit .. but this is an early screenshot


I added/fixed:
+ Added: Speed display (km/h or mph, players can set that in the options menu)
+ Added: You can now see how long you have to wait till you can boost again
+ Added: Different car classes
+ Added: Powerups (bombs, barriers, shield etc)
+ Added: Laptimes, best laptime will be saved so people can try to break it
* Fixed: Theres a 16 vehicle limit.. so when you are player 17 you become spectator

Plans:
+ 3 custom gametypes with cars
+ Easy addon system to add new powerups/car models/car stats

nothing else really .. for now

I need some help with the car balance, these are the differences per car.. are they balanced? :

Code:

fastaccel:
    speed:        34 mph
    boost interval:    30 sec
    accelspeed:    30
    handling:    8

goodhandling:
    speed:        35 mph
    boost interval:    30 sec
    accelspeed:    25
    handling:    10.5

medium:
    speed:        34.5 mph
    boost interval:    35 sec
    accelspeed:    27.5
    handling:    8.5

highspeed:
    speed:        40 mph
    boost interval:    45 sec
    accelspeed:    17.5
    handling:    6.5

Add jump, to jump over obstacles. Some inspiration: http://www.modnation.com/en_au/index/index.htm

Hard to say without actually playing the mod. But it seems to me that fastspeed car is always going to win..

I might increase the boost interval to 60 seconds .. so that someone with a highspeed car can only do a boost once a minute while everyone else can do that twice

@surtek that game is fucking awesome I can add jump .. but it won't look good and it might be very buggy, maybe when i'm done with the rest of the shiz

Add a menu at the beginning. In this menu you can choose the color of your card, color of different hud elements, your car type, your driver emblem etc.

@iAegle you could *probably* use rccar launch(5,5,5); for a small jump. Not sure, you should try it.
