Glitching wall textures! | Forums

[BlueMageFTW]

i actually experienced it the very first dlc track i played the day it was released so i thought it was some new wall imaging we would have in the editor. lo and behold, no flickering posters in the editor, although oSKUMBAG o has made televisions in his roach motel... anyways now it happens randomly and random trax, developers and customs of friends and myself. only way i found to stop it on a particular track is to go to my dashboard and reload trials.. but like i said it seems random. ive seen large wall size checkpoints, flippers, signs and weird gear wheels. its like some sorta binary crash trip.

LOL it was just pure insanity. Like I said I wish that stuff was static on the walls... It looked amazing!

it would actually be pretty cool if you could turn it on and off. people could make some seriously psychadelic tracks!

Any word from the devs on this? Just wondering if you have seen it yourself or what might cause it.

Seen it. Texture loading failure. Restart the game to fix it.

lol that was straight to the point Jorma
Like I said I have never seen it before and knew that reloading fixed it (which is a shame cos I couldn't capture it properly).
Whats the chances of being able to paint walls with that kinda freaky stuff in the future?

seen it many times before, it actually can look really cool sometimes ive seen pictures on it of stuff i've never seen in the game, some really weird flickering pictures can popup. a glitch that i actually like

[rlmergeuser]

WOW! i thought last time it was just somebody that made shapes in front of a light, i wonder if you can tune the sunlight/angle a specific way to get this glitch, that would be sick! i have never gotten this glitch

it really screws with your eyes, adds difficulty 10fold

I wrote this in the technical problems thread.

Strange, flickering textures appearing on block surfaces:

This has happened to me 3 times. It's pretty cool imo, and if the devs could leave it alone that would be nice, it doesn't hinder the gameplay at all, just a little something extra every once in awhile.

If you notice it happening, start visiting tracks that make use of the bottom parts of a custom track, as in if you started taking out blocks headed down to the bottom.

So far Inferno, Diabolic, Epic Jumps, Ski Jump, Jolly Jumper(a little), mother of all jumps (a lil near the egg) and others where the name escapes me, all have the trippy graphics.

On diabolic it's after the three tires and once you get over the exploding barrel get down through the pipes, if it's a good one it's quite the sight.

Last time it happened i filmed a little bit of it but it wasn't being as awesome as it was the second time and then i went to do the dlc ski jump and my box froze, i shoulda gone to the dlc outside the ball, that takes place all at the bottom.


again i doubt anybody has a problem with this little hiccup being left in the code.

i was just about to start a thread entitled 'has someone spiked my drink,' but then i remembered about this one.

i've got it too (as in, right now), but sadly, i dont have a video camera (well, i've got a phone cam thats no better than the one used in the vid above)

i think the only thing not mentioned here that i've seen is a wooden floor effect, but on the side of the walls, because of the glitch. it looks really cool.

the best places i've found for this glitch so far are:

- my 'which bike to use?' track (the donkey bike route)
- SKUMBAG's Citadel
- underground (in game)
- the DLC rings of fire game
