please add boosters and airbrake it would be so usefull

Developer(+1)

An airbrake is coming next update! Boosters maybe in the future

AIRBRAKE NEXT UPDATE

is that 0.4.2?

FINALY

At high heights, car gravity is glitchy and the car is very bouncy

Example map: v3SAn92bmlHIwhWemLtxmD4p9YlBGZAEohNZJISGYDGfbwSGevfveMYCMe3olM8fA5zADAAEfxE0H

how high is that?

Developer

This is due to floating point inaccuracies. There is no plan to fix this currently

It also works if you go far enough out in any direction

I am not really sure why, but no matter what I do, if I am on Crazygames or the official website or the downloaded version(what I play now), my leaderboards just look like this


It says: Error: Failed to load leaderboard. I have good internet so im not sure whats wrong and its really sad not being able to see other peoples times

Developer

Is this still a problem?

No. The leaderboard works now and i can view other peoples records as well

I LOVE this game. The only thing for me right now is that there is no controller support which is kind of a bummer because controller just feels better IMO.

Edit: I get that it is difficult because of the replay system, but I feel like for now you could just try making it digital inputs instead of analog. So even if you tilt the stick a little bit it goes all the way to the side. You could also do it so depending on how far you tilt it it does it multiple times. So if you hold it a little bit it will press the stick periodically based on how far it's pushed. Sorry if that's confusing lol

Developer

The community seemed to be mostly against controller support in the past, since people worry it will give players using controllers an unfair advantage.

It might be possible to have separate leaderboards for keyboard/controller, but it'll be quite easy to cheat and submit a controller run to the keyboard leaderboard.

Wouldn't it just be a different play style, like in Trackmania people use keyboard/controler/joystick/steering wheel and they are all on the same leaderboards right?

Developer

Maybe! I'm not sure that there would actually be a huge advantage to using a controller.

But I feel like this is difficult to test without adding it to the game, at which point removing it would be difficult.

Ok

I think the only advantage would be more precision but it would be much harder to master.

people can just do that with an external software

what is the longest map made on polytrack

can you add like respawn to certain check point in build mode

Developer

I think adding an option to start from anywhere would be better, but I haven't decided on exactly how I want to do this yet

Wouldnt it be possible to make it into a setting:
-Realistic Light
-Classic Light
and the mapper just has to say that for better experience to turn realistic light on

(+1)

Yo Kodub!
Idk if this would fuck with the browser compatability but it would be pretty sick if there was a more realistic light system 
like when u do a tunnel the inside would be darker
would really help making RPG maps

I'd like to add some more realistic lighting, but since most people seem to play PolyTrack on low-end devices I'm not sure how much I should focus on this

Another idea:

A freecam  in editor so you can look up  under blocks you already placed :)

For me, Shift + Right click lets you adjust the camera angle, if you zoom in with the scroll wheel you can then move around slow enough to make modifications, it's not quite the same as free look due to height.

pin track of the week posts (totw)

I would simply ADORE new engine sounds

Supercharged V8's and twin turbo V10 with HUGE wastegate blowoff when you lift the throttle would be ideal :)

Developer

Do you know of any public domain sound effects for this?

Finding good sound effects which are loopable usually takes a long time

the version of this for mac keeps saying that it cant verify and wants to move the game to trash can you guys pelase fix this

To run the app you need to go to Apple >  system settings > Privacy & Security, scroll down and you can view and verify apps that have tried to run from non verified apple developers. 

thank you

Developer

This would require an expensive license from Apple, so it's not really solvable for now.

There are ways to get around this though

Could you add a green Block? Like the black red blue and gray ones. it would be really helpful with scenery and maps look good.

Developer

There will be a proper terrain editing system at some point!

But there will also be a lot more colors for the blocks next update

when is said next update?

a while most likely, since we just got an update in july

its januarary

your point?

that was a little less than a year ago

little over half...

that's pretty long dont ya think

A feature that wouldn't be too hard to add could be a signal that indicate the splits in the run. So it says how much faster you are in each checkpoint. So u can see haw far the ghost is behind. Like Trackmania. Also a feature where you can watch multiple Ghosts simultaneously so u can comprise different runs.

Developer

Split times are coming next update! Multiple ghosts might come then too but it hasn't been decided yet

Very nice game but it would even be better if you add a feature where you can respawn on a checkpoint. Would make longer maps way more fun. Also you could make them even harder cause the people don't have to restart the whole track.

Developer

Respawning at checkpoints are coming next update

wow, next update will be great! 

will it be an option for the builder, or default for all tracks?

Cool Feature would be to add a different car. It could just be a skin but what also would be funny is a car that has different features. Like there is a checkpoint where you automatically switch to the car and now you are faster but you have less grip ore sth like that.

Developer

Other cars aren't planned anytime soon, but maybe in the far future!

  1. Snow Car Updated in PolyTrack 6.7.0
  2. Rally Car Updated in PolyTrack 6.12.0
  3. Desert Car Updated in PolyTrack 6.16.0

Hey Kodub, with the replays I was wondering if there was a way to watch more than one person at a time so you can see and compare other peoples lines to yours. Tell me if it already exists but if there isn't then do you think it is possible?

Developer

This is coming in either 0.5.0 or 0.6.0

k thanks

A few handy things would be a zeroeth order checkpoint that needs to be crossed but in no particular order, and if crossed checkpoints changed color, dulled, or otherwise displaying that they've been crossed.

Developer

Unordered checkpoints aren't planned for now.

Changing the checkpoint color after passing it sounds like a good idea though!

Also good idea to show witch checkpoint is next so u know where to go

I've seen on previous posts that you don't want to make your game a track mania copy, but I think potentially adding difference between surfaces could add a lot more to the game. For example, the dirt could slide more. Also the addition of slanted curve pieces, like a 45 degree bank would be nice. I hope you still plan on updating the game. 

Developer

Different surfaces aren't planned since the physics wouldn't really work well.

Banked track pieces will most likely come next update!

I have no plans to stop working on this game as long as it remains popular and people keep playing it.

kodub u should pin totw

(derzi and taco both know about it and co-run it with me) 

The new bug is not drifting
