  Well, this was a nightmare. Speedgate sucks. On the other hand, it is nice to know that Stunts can still surprise us after so many years. Quick news today:

  Congratulations to Akoss Poo for another victory! And by quite some margin over Duplode, who compensated his second position with some extra LTB. Marco is showing steady improvement and secured a place on the podium.

  As for the next track, our guest deisgner is Cas. The track is called 4AM but it mighta s well bear the name of Spaghetti Incident. Cars: The Xylocaine got -10 (just in case) and the P962 +10 - otherwise the usual bonus changes were applied. Let's see!

  Sent: 46.05...
• Alan Rotoi
  I'm uploading my unfinished replay to the forum. Watch it! You may be interested
• Zak McKracken
  scoreboard final!
• Shoegazing Leo
  Replay is don't matching with the track.
• dreadnaut
  That's true... maybe something is wrong with the track check, I'll take a look tomorrow afternoon!

  Thank you, Zak, for using my track for this race. And yeah, it kind of does look like spaghetti! At first sight (or first race), it may look like a little bit long a track, but I think that compensates with the fact that there are so many lanes close to one another. This gives opportunity for uncountable tricks! Besides, when I made it, I was thinking it as a very fast-racing track. It was raced as OWOOT in Paleke's World Stunts Championship, seven years ago or so. I still have the replays.
• Cas
  So now I wonder what can be done here without the OWOOT restrictions
• Zak McKracken
  TrackBlaster also reports an issue with the track (wrong size). I have no means to check right now but will fix tonight unless dreadnaut can correct it earlier.
• Akoss Poo
  It is the same for me. I'm putting my replay to the Stunts Forum, like Leo.
• Zak McKracken
  fixed track is now available for download. let me try to manually add already submitted replays
• Zak McKracken
  uploaded. everything should work now.
• Akoss Poo
  Thanks! A little problem still exists: Leo sent his replay at 10:23 p.m. instead of a.m.
• Akoss Poo
  let's see whether the system accepts it
• Alan Rotoi
  2 min Indy, are you kidding me?
• afullo
  Scoreboard filler.
• Marco
  this is crazy !!!
• Akoss Poo
  rather Indy I think
• Shoegazing Leo
  - This is madness... - No, this is Sparta!
• AbuRaf70
  Akoss... Estoy tratando de copiarte el replay, pero se me complican las cosas.... je.je.je...

May 12

• Cas
  Mm... there's a problem. I just uploaded a replay, but neither my comment or my time are visible. I got no error message, so it's strange.
• Cas
  Mm... yes... it does tell me it doesn't match with the track, even when I'm using the one I downloaded from here.
• Cas
  Trying one more time....
• Cas
  Ah! That was the problem. I was using the file with the original name 4AM.TRK, so that name was being stored in the replay!
• Shoegazing Leo
  I used the original file first (came with the editor) and after I made a lap 9 seconds better with correct file.
• Akoss Poo
  Another day, another trick.
• Alan Rotoi
  My best

May 13

• Shoegazing Leo
  My worst
• Alan Rotoi
  My longest.
• Akoss Poo
  Well... I like this track.
• Akoss Poo
  And still improving!

• Cas
  I'm not going to be third for much longer. Better prepare a new replay

• Duplode
  Indy cars everywhere!
• Marco
  Usually I play Stunts on my desktop PC. Now i was looking for the Duplode replay on my portable PC where i thougth to have the same Stunts configuration than on my Desktop PC but the Duplode car crashes against the wall at 1:11.65 ...
• Alan Rotoi
  Try to rewind some seconds when it happens.
• Zak McKracken
  Marco: replays in stunts do not stored a video of events or the position/track of the car, rather the keystrokes of the driver. Upon watching the replay these keystrokes are evaluated as if you would driving -> the car position is calculated real time. In very narrow situations the Stunts engine may make a mistake and where you were able to pass while driving the replay will crash. This is one of the many bugs in Stunts - the solution suggested by Alan is the way to go.
• Cas
  Yes, it's true. I know another way to fix this in most cases... and it's the way I used to watch Duplode's replay: When you're watching and you're near the time when the car crashes, change the camera view. After the "crash", you can return. Sometimes it will crash in first person view, but will not crash in helicopter view, for example.
• Cas
  This will also work for the early-finish bug. When a track contains a sub-path that is very short, sometimes you will start driving and the race will finish without you doing anything. Other times, you will be able to drive, but then the reply will show that you didn't. So when watching it, you start in helicopter view and then switch to first person view.
• Duplode
  This replay does seem to be particularly hard to get to play correctly. Another trick that helps sometimes is going through the crash with the replay playing at double speed. BTW nice observation about the earl finish bug Cas; I will try it later!
