Thanks again and take care!

Basically in sections. I drew out each path separately with the circle tool then glued invisible dark matter to the bottom of each piece. Lined them up to taste and did a huge cut with a square block 3 layers thick so they would line up as a section. To tweak I either used the corner editor as well as chopping or filling with one of the oval tools.Quote:

Hope this helps!
Just played it, and it's the second race level I've ever hearted.
The other one also required some driver control beyond R1.
The second leg of the race looked weird, as the sky was visible under the ground, but that's my only complaint.
Vehicles looked nice, handled well, and were unstickable so no exploding sackpeoples. <3

Thanks again!
Hi jw, I played your level last night before I saw this thread and left a comment on it.
I really enjoyed it and can't add a lot to what the other guys have already said except to offer one pro and one con
Pro : I think the decoration is fine as it is because in my opinion loads of decoration in a race level is pointless because you never see it unless you stop which kinda defeats the object of a race level
Con : Just those straw bales at the finish which I found annoying because they got in the way of all the points bubbles. I had to keep dragging them out of the way to get at the bubbles which took longer than the actual race.
Apart from that it was good fun.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for your comments!Quote:

...possibly that evil peanut is having an affect on me. ;)
Thanks again!
Oh.. was there a level of yours you wanted me to take a look at?
HaHa point taken jw, thats fair enough.
I have just put a new F4F in 'Level Showcase' if you want to take a look at that ( The Balboa Park one )
I am particularly proud of my dragsters too although the level as a whole is still work in progress so the last part isn't very good yet
I would say the Little Vista Raceway level is one of my favourites ( that was a joint venture together with littlemanu who has it published in his name also ) but it's had very few plays and I think is very underrated and worthy of more plays. I would say that though wouldn't I ?
I would be grateful if you gave me some feedback on any of those thanks. Don't expect them to be anywhere near as good as yours though.
Tried this last night and really liked it! Nice look to the level and I always appreciate a race with more skill required than R1 alone. Excellent idea to have the flip fail safe on the cars too - came in handy more than once.
Yes - the evil peanut is working nicely - darn spongie thingies gettin' in the way of MY point bubbles! lol - I understand your point though.... but for the record I did get them ALL!!!
Nice work - looking forward to more levels from you. Thanks for sharing it!

Thanks Morgana25! Really appreciate your comments and glad you enjoyed!Quote:

Thanks again!
Excellent race level you've created there. I liked the buggy design and the track (all three) were also made well. I liked the little set pieces you added here and there to keep the eye happy. Its always good to see a race level that includes a little more skill than simply holding R1, adding the rockets to the car to flip them back over is an idea all race levels need to incorporate.
Good job, **** and vehicles tag left.
Thanks so much! Appreciate the comments.Quote:

I will check your level out asap.. but need to catch up on some work type stuff today.
Thanks again!
I really enjoyed playing. The level captured that off road desert feel. I especially liked the last vehicles.:D
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed and appreciate your comments!
jwwphotos, just occurred to me that I never left you F4F--apparently I jumped ahead on my list of plays:confused:. Forgive me for the late reply. If I do it again, feel free to whack me on the head with a 2x4. I probably won't feel any pain, with the meds and all, but it usually works to bring me back to reality for a short period of time:).
Actually, I played this level before joining LBPC. I just played it again to refresh my memory.
I thoroughly enjoyed this race. I liked all of the vehicles:), well designed, and which were easy to control, unlike the blocks of wood and a rocket on several race levels. I also appreciated the humor in some of your speech popups.
I rated it 5-Stars and hearted you as a Creator. I plan to check out your other levels as well.
If I could change 1 thing, and this is just my mind free-wheeling, I would add a Monster car that took up all 3 levels. You could place it behind the first 3 vehicles, but make it a little faster, so it could overpower the others and crush them:mad:. Would make for a great multiplayer experience.
Actually, the above thought was an attempt at humor:D. I wouldn't change a thing.
A great level which I highly recommend everyone play, to see what a well-designed race looks like:D.

Hi Rick,
Thanks for the comments. Really appreciate you taking the time to circle back in your play list. I couldn't remember if you had F4F selected or not, so I wasn't keeping a time sheet on you or anything! No worries and no need to apologize.
I'm just glad you enjoyed it!
I thought I had responded to your comments earlier, but for some reason I must have not hit POST. Whoops! ..and I am not on meds! wow... must have been really early in the morning or something.
Again, thanks so much for your comments!!
Take care!
