Doom Kart - Looking for Volunteers.

It brings memories of Zoom

Speaking of which, it brings me memories of the REAL DoomKart that was (hah) never finished. We're talking 2002-ish here kiddies.

Thanks Risen, that means a lot.

Are you going to really work on this project and create a complete DoomKart game out of that? If yes - as I mentioned before - I really apply as a mapper for this because the idea is awesome and I'd love to be involved and participate

[edward850]

I would love to join to, I have never been in a project before and this would be cool, also, my ACS skills are l33t to the max!

Was it ever even begun? Fake screenshots (which is all I've ever seen of it) don't count as actual supbstance. Are there any resources available that might hasten my progress? I looked high and low, but as far as I could tell this "REAL" Doom Kart you speak of simply does not exist.

Let's talk about real progress here. I've got the control system and basic "physics" worked out, the track lap and positioning system, and a nice working replica of the Kart selection menu done. Things I still have to work on inclucde expansion of my bare boned inter-map system, a title screen, actual tracks, sprites sprites sprites, and then a track selection system.

[Risen]

It sounds pretty awesome. I'd offer to help, but my time is pretty restricted right now. However, if there's anything you think you can use my help on, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

also, my ACS skills are l33t to the max!

ahahahahahaahahahahaahahahaahaahahahahahahahahhahahhahahaha

[Cutmanmike]

I can't see a single player mode happening in this unless it's time trial

Proof plz.

I'm with T667 here for mapping. I'll gladly join in on this. Oh, and edward, shut up. Saying "I'm great" doesn't mean anything if we don't have evidence for that. Also, solarsnowfall is doing most of the ACS work. He'll just want some mappers to put together something at the end.

[deathz0r]

Was it ever even begun?

Yes. Maps exist for it, as do (almost) entire sprite replacements.

Are there any resources available that might hasten my progress?

Not publically, but it is sitting on my hard drive.

[solarsnowfall]

(almost) entire sprite replacements.

Replacements? Replacing what, exactly? I'll assume you meant sprite sets, for new actors. That almost suggests the use of existing Doom actors with replaced sprites... But surely you don't mean this.

Not publically, but it is sitting on my hard drive.

Then if I ask you, pretty please, would you share them with me? I would most likely benefit from any sprites that were created, but I can't really say until I've seen them. Maps, on the other hand, are a different story. They may not work well with the scripted system I'm working on. I'm still figuring out how to make tracks work well with the way the karts move and slide about, what's a reasonable turn, what's a more difficult turn, that sort of thing.

So, what do you say?

@Offers of help: Thanks. It would be irresponsible at this point enlist the help of others for this project. I appreciate your enthusiasm, and will keep (most of) you in mind when the time comes.

[deathz0r]

I'll assume you meant sprite sets, for new actors.

Sorry, my bad. Yes, I meant sprite sets.

Ask Ralphis over at Doomworld, he made them.
