    [PS4] cpt_schlands track collection

    I thought it would be better to open only one thread for all my tracks instead of opening one thread per track

    I will start this thread with my second track "Secret of the temple". (search it by name or by "cpt_schland)

    Difficulty - Hard (Trials)

    Thanks to TheeDesecrator and D2Dahaka for the feedback and advice in the other thread for setting the difficulty and time/fault limits. I think i've done it better this time =)


    Enjoy the video and if you have some feedback and more advice for me, post it please




    PS: Anyone got an idea how to get rid of this white line in the gras at the beginning?
    PSS: I did this video with the PS4 Sharefactory-software, forgive me

    Hi mate, looks like you are definitely getting there



    A couple of observations from your video:



    1: There are too many objects in the foreground which obstruct the riders view. This is easily resolved and would make a big difference to your tracks playability. Decorative objects in the foreground can add to the look/theme, and are great, but just don't allow them to obstruct the view. You can also try to decorate the driving line obstacles a little, which will set the track apart from those who don't...


    2: You have some screen tear at the beginning when you go under the first arch, you can try to make the objects away from the driving line 'decoration only' and this can improve the problem, amongst other things (tweaking environment settings, draw distance etc)


    3: At around 55 secs you have a little climb up some rocks, you can make this less of a bumpy ride by using custom collisions, or laying another object on top, set it to contact response and make it invisible. Just make sure your bike doesnt then look like it's floating



    Other than that it's a good one man, I love the deco as you go up the double steps and the sun is shining through the trees. The line is pretty sweet, keep it up!!

    Basically what emcee said

    Don't hide the DL;
    Optimise to avoid tear;
    Custom collisions to smooth the ride where needed.

    So my post is rather redundant
    Hey ho, keep on building, we need more ps4 builders.

    Try some of emcee's tracks out for assistance: PSN Freeman_o0o

    Looks cool man. Yea, morrillo and emcee hit it right on the point. One more thing would to have more subtle camera changes(does'nt bother me but alot of guys around here get upset with that stuff. )Anyway, keep on building man. I don't have a ps4 but I will watch the videos.

    Hi guys, its been a long time since my last track.

    Today i will present you my new track - lost in the jungle!

    After uploading i noticed two bugs (but they are not that big).

    But again i have this tearing thing. Dont know how to handle it, especially after the second checkpoint. I have tried it with setting the viewing distance to a minium but that didnt change much.

    So if you have again some expert tips and some feedback, please post it

    I will add a video soon

    Ok, here are the two videos

    I'm not totally happy with this track, I kind of ran out of ideas at the end of the track.
    Also I need to find a way to have a lot of trees in the background as decoration and a good perfomance. I think at some points the PS4 can't handle it.
