List of things not to do in Evo tracks to make them better | Forums

Make sure to test the obstacles from every check point with every bike selectable. You may be able to leap over one part, but if you fall you need to be able to get 'back on track', so to speak.

I found one online that was impossible if you fell at a certain point.

This is more for people playing the created tracks.
Rate them accordingly. Nothing worse than browsing through 50 5* tracks and only finding 1 decent one. If you feel its only worth 1* maybe message the creator and politely inform them what you feel is wrong.
Some people may be rating a friends track to boost ratings, but they are going to keep making terrible tracks without good feedback.

I agree.

Also i would say floating objects that shoudn't be floating look bad. Also check you dont have floating checkpoints. I been caught out by that before forgetting to place it properly lol.

As a new track maker I want to agree with a couple points I try to use.

1. Test obstacles from the last check point.
2. Don't obscure the rider with foreground objects...too much.
3. Checkpoints after a hard section, especially on timed or throttle specific obstactles.
4. Flesh out the foreground and background.
5. Mix it up. Don't make tracks you can full throttle the whole track. Rollercoaster rides are fun but offer very little challenge.

Always keep the riding-line visable, no distracting decorations, effects or lack of light.

In supercross. test all 4 lanes with both cameras, and use LOTS of checkpoint.
Make the track your main priorety, and the background second priorety.

Make sure your medal times are realistic.

Be sure the track difficulty is fair, err on the side of caution here if you are inexperienced.

Good looking track are great...but not lagging one are better !!
try mine loll

If you spent less than ten days working on your track then you are releasing it too soon. .E. there should be no custom tracks up yet)

False, some people can create great customs in a day, easily.

Agreed ! A short 20 second second track can look gorgeous and be fun, yet take very little time - especially if you create a template and simply modify them !

I recently got my track 'Silhouette Redux' into the red lynx picks and that only took around 6 hours, the track was relitivly simple to make and i feel it was the concept that sold it (if people saw the actual track it does look quite ugly), mainly though your track needs too feel unique weather it be a set-piece or an extreamly challenging obsicle you need to attach something mentally to the track. basically if you havent had something memorable whithin the 1st 20 secs then its unlikely ytou'll ever remember it.
(GT:- iFuNKT) this guy did a brilliant space station level and although ive played a few tracks with a space vibe it was the moon buggy sending out morse code that makes it stand above all others

Supercross Tracks: When you test your Supercross map you use the single player camera, make sure you test it with the multiplayer player camera it might not look at all like you planned in MP.

In supercross. test all 4 lanes with both cameras, and use LOTS of checkpoint.
Make the track your main priorety, and the background second priorety.

Maybe I'm overlooking something, but is there some certain way to test from both cameras that I'm missing? I see both camera objects in the editor but am I supposed to select a setting or something to switch the testing camera? Or are you referring to testing in editor vs. private multiplayer?
