Just to let anyone know that the VGPHD Barcelona track v1.0 is now available for download in all three versions (high res=HD, medium or standard res=SD, low res=LD). I hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together. Just go to the download section of the site.

Hopefully the inclusion of the SD and LD versions will be better on this platform than the HD version alone. Let me know.

Thanks. VGPHD Website

Yes....just in time

I got my repaired Pegasos 2 yesterday so I can check on this one.... thanks again...

Hi all,

Played the "Barcelona HD" track, i like it much ! It's more realistic, so playing is more fun. Especialy the trees are beautiful, but the road too. The speed is OK.

Thanks for the support. It makes it all worth while. I will probably release Hungary soon. There are a few object files I have to fix, then it should be ready.

THX! Hungaroring is a nice racecourse .

What if VGP2 could have some sort of Rally in it? I mean, an extension
to Grand Prix.

How dificult or easy is it to create courses in VGP2? What do I need?

I love the engine. Especially the HD levels! Nice work. How about
creating a game, where you could drive in Europe? I mean every game
got either San Fransisco, New York or American alike roads.

It would be nice to have a racing game with European roads, tracks etc

Keep up the good work :)

VGP2 could have a rally mod made. Well... maybe someone is already working on a few rally test tracks.

OK fine... I am testing a rally track, but getting a rally car done is somewhat harder. Much harder. But the F1 cars sure look cool on the dirt.

Hi,

It turns out that i only play the "Barcelona HD" track now ! More HD tracks are welcome.

Rally! \o/

I tried Barcelona track (also I have downloaded the new names and the carset). It's really very cool and the speed is normal even on high resolution (1024x768 24bit). Thanks again.

I found two bugs during my play.

1. When you press ESC during the game, the game shows up the session (with names, laps, times etc). There I can see some strange pixels, for example when a full stop between the driver's name and in the times.

2. I restarted the game to check again Barcelona track, and my formula car had the colour of the grass. My car was completely green!!! (The first time was ok).

In testing for VGP3, I had the same problem. The car and a lot of the actual track objects would have the wrong textures mapped to them. It turned out to be the video-card I was using. It may be a bug in the actual code that screws up the mappings through the object files.

I must say that all these happens when I installed the new Barcelona
HD 1.0 track, and also the new and real names from the carset file.
Before that everything was normal at all. When you mean HD you mean
the graphics resolution to HIGH or SUPER? Because I have this on HIGH.

If it worked with the original version of the game, I would tend to think that it may be the version of the update you are using. If you are using the HD version, try the SD version and see if it is better. The HD version has the largest file sizes and can sometimes bulk the video-card while SD may have a better set for you. You may even try the LD version just to check. If it stops with the SD or even the LD versions, it is definitely the larger file sizes in the HD update.

This one eludes me as I have not come into contact with this problem yet. If anyone else has the same problem, please let me know. Also let me know if changing to the SD or LD versions works better.

I didn't have time to install the LD version of Barcelona track, but I checked something else yesterday. I chose to race in a different course (the in-game courses, not Barcelona) and the game was ok. No graphical problems and no the annoying bugs with the names. So I suppose this has to do with the HD version of Barcelona track you mention before.

First of all, JaguarGod, thank you for your work!

Don't worry, it's not a problem of your update. It's a known "feature"
of the 3D drivers in MOS, that have sometimes some problems when a
lot of datas/textures are pushed into the gfx mem. This is the reason
why it didn't happen with the original texture set, and happens if you
use the HD carset and HD textures. This one should have been fixed in
the newer drivers, that we might get with the 2.0 release of the OS
that is approaching.

The MOS developers should keep an eye on your work, because it's one
of the things pushing the most the results of *their* work.

Kind regards,
Andrea

I am playing the HD version of Barcelona map and I have no noticeable slowdowns. Infact it seems like your Barcelona track is a bit faster than the other ones.

I encountered another bug (maybe this has to do with the CarSet). I am always 20th (last). Even if I am in another place during a race, it shows me that I am 20th!!!

You must have found a secret road that gave you penalty ;) I wish that
MorphOS got a Xtreme Racing On-Line alike game. I dosent need to have
fancy 3D graphics, but as in Xtreme Racing maybe? That would be fun ;)

No. No. That's not true

Anyway, I copy everything (from track and carsets) to SD from HD and
everything is completely normal now.

That is very good news.

The Hungaroring is finished and will be available for download by the end of the weekend. Just thought I would give you guys a heads up.

Yay. I live in Hungary

Sorry I did not have time to get the LD and SD versions finished. The HD version is ready to go, but I will wait until they are all finished to release them. Hopefully Monday or Tuesday. Again, sorry.

Sorry? Sorry for what? for two days...

Please keep up the good work and don't worry... be happy...

Yeah, we're very happy if someone doesn't say 'two more weeks' :) How about that rally track?-)
