hi davy. it's my first post here. well i just have a question. how could you asotiate .ogg files and zip them to this really small setup file? my game is growning bigger and bigger and i'm afraid it's hard for me to upload such a big project... i just started the first level and it's about 40 mb or something...

hey, i've had my first multiplay. man, multiplaying is awesome! it's just amazing! hey, robjoy, i connected to your server and was player 4. i won several times, got second even more times, got third once and last once, but that was because i was using a cat, but then a wild one. but it is a stupid cat because it is acting sooo slow.

I don't have any experience of rumble, but I know force feedback is directional with variable strength. Simple explanation is that it puts pressure on the controller in different directions and can use different levels of pressure. I've seen force feedback used with very fast switches in direction to effect shaking, or it can be used in a substantial jerk to reflect an impact. I've even heard some sticks let you use the force feedback to let you set the tension for the stick returning to centre.

I could be wrong, but I thought rumble was just a simple vibration pack that shakes the controller.

The ogg stuff for C use some very specific stuff for opening files which can't be easily ported to vb so I reccoment VBOgg from atomicmonks.com.  It's really easy to use but does not provide the full flexibility directsound does (it's mainly made for playing music).

Davi, you cant imagine what a lot funy times and happy feelings you gave to us with this great game!
I hope that soon everybody will make a cool unique car, an unique track, and a super street adventure!
Best regards:

robjoy is right. funny times we have had. take the horn beeping for example: i waz beeping my horn all the time, before the race had started. and, i finished a race against pc players, and the pc started beeping (the players) at me! and i was last! and, on another race, all the computer controled cars bumped into each other! and on some tracks, i breaked on the hard turns and crashed and couldn't stop laugh9ing! and the hairpin turns as well, <squeeeeeeak> <smash!> and oh my god you have done a wonderfull job, and... listen to this, you will like the way we use horns.
on fc, we descussed confirming. what i mean is someone horned 2 times, another person horned 5 times etc. i had to horn 2 times, i think dog horned 5 times or something. and we all beeped at chaman because we were getting impationt and wanted to start the race... lol!

I agree. This games is awesome. Especially for freeware! Thank you guys so much for such a great game. I hope you weill expand the street adventures or let users create there own. I would love to try out a multiplayer game but I'm not such a good driver yet. (damn student drivers) Thanks again.

Hi,

I think the authors of the game simply have to send a message from the game to their website containing the IP of the person who started a multi-user game. That's very easy and you have the list online. That way, you go to the website, look at the list, copy-paste the URL and you're off... we're happy to host such a list if the authors would make the connection to our website

Greets,

Richard

Hmm, i am thinking about making a topspeed server selector program, just like the original one, just with one difference.
You will able to send your ip to a text file on a server, and with this server selector you can retrieve the list, which you can copy to the ip text box.
Lots of programs to do, lol, but i like this ip way which the ts team did, not like vipgameZones, with the server-dependent games.
The reason against the ip-style games that: You can start a server, without the developer have to host a server.
But there is one thing which is not good if you use it: The list. I mean, if you have a game, which you have to enter the ip or the host for the server, then you cant have a list with the valid ip addresses.
But soon...
Best regards,
Robjoy (the unofficial topspeed programmer, lol, jk)

Hi everyone. I have not run in to any problems with Top Speed so far. I have one question. How do you block the cars when you are playing against the computer or with another player on the internet?

hmm, i usually can hear a bumping sound, and that is when i crash into another car, which prevents me from passing. after that i hear a horn, i guess it's the horn, but I'm not sure.
