Good morning, Speedfrens.I'm the manager from our board's divegrass team and, like in every reason, we're rebuilding our roster. Your boy G-Tek was pretty helpful last season so we'd like you guys to come and vote for him (and whoever else you see fit) for the new cup which is starting in 3 weeks.Here's the pollhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhAAWpaLVSRc8o_cvkNzGGhQhHwXbnUTVC5B1Cz_M4vjEu1w/viewformAnd here's the thread in case you guys wanna peep in there.>>1059086The results will get announced in the thread shortly after the polling is done. Thanks for your undying support as always and see you on the road.
>>1060351Not the manager but I want to confirm to all of you that G-TEK FOOTBALL will stay put on the roster as one of the two gold medal players.

To all fans of G-TEK FOOTBALL:The group stage draw for the 2023 Autumn Babby Cup has just ended, and we have miraculously been paired with these three teams. Here is the schedule for each of /vm/'s matches./vm/ vs /vg/ Saturday, October 28th @ 1pm EST/vm/ vs /v/ Friday, November 3rd @ approx. 5pm EST /vm/ @ /f/ Sunday, November 5th @ approx. 4:20pm EST
>>1073157damn thats some competitionbut i believe in /ourguy/ G-TEK, ill try to catch the matches if im awake for em
What's the average playtime around here? if on steam at least and it's easy to check. I'm near 50 hours but have never played online cuz I don't think I'm ready yet. I lurk the shit out of the threads for general discussion and pro tips that get dropped time to time.
>>1074945im at 573 hours, mostly only play during bn/v/ racism these days i think the average playtime is probably around 100-ish hours between the newbros and the vets, presumably people tend to complete all or a good amount of the campaign before jumping into MP
>>1074945I started playing after around 13 hours of playtime and I couldn't run the game well either, you don't have to be an expert at the game to join in on the race day fun.
>>1074960go hyberion :DDDDDD

How do you get started with ship mods? I have some models I'd like to import and assign stats to, maybe I'm retarded but I can't find a comprehensive resource on how to go about doing so.
>>1077553i followed the manual and it worked for meballisticngpastebin com / 9Yrm3YTUTL;DR would be>download ballisticng (((unity))) project that allows you to create content for the game>import 3d models>scale them properly, place the exhaust trails where they belong, etc.>assign stats >save and export ship as ship file>move file into ballisticng custom ship folder

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Gqg3HU5nGgthoughts?looks like the layout is mostly the same, just aesthetic changes, and making the track ahead more visible
>>1079203firestarter/10
>>1079203I get that Vonsnake is probably wanting to update it to the rest of the game's aesthetic but it looks a lot less moodier than the original. At least the pit on the reverse version isn't looking as painful to use.

>>1080658yknow i am honestly feeling like i am gonna love the post-'nerf' caliburn seeing as tenrai is my current favoriteeven though i feel like i am gimping myself by not picking top tier ships, like choosing high handling / accel is is just a crutch when you could just pick nexus, play better and just be faster.frankly i feel like the ship balance is overall kinda bad considering that if you arent picking nexus/nx2k/diavolt you are just wrong statistically. i dont mind there being high end ships for the most skilled players but the lower end needs to be brought up.
race day gimmick?
>>1082861TOXIC G-TEK ONLY
just bought it and spent a little while in a practice run, very stuttery on my laptop. I've turned everything down and still runs kinda iffy. What else can I do?

>>1083634Coasting on a 144hz monitor for roughly a decade, it's kind of nice to have when it's viable but yeah I'd rather pick better colors if it came to general use.
>>1083634I was playing at 120hz in the late 90s and it was better back then too. even 75hz is a big upgrade over 60.>>1083528for this game the best frame rate is a multiple of 50 due to fixed update unity stuff. it looks way smoother that way. 100 or 150 depending on your monitor, i use 100. the only reason to choose anything else is if you're stuck with a slower monitor.

Found a skip on Alto Overseer, if you pitch up and afterburner/turbo you can go over the railing. So long as you are to the right of the blue line you won't skip a checkpoint and you'll land in front of the Caliburn billboard, but you need to airbrake hard to not hit the wall.

>>1107505>>1107507make sure you aren't on the beta branch and that you don't have any code mods installed, sometimes weekly racism is plagued by timeout bugs (i think due to steam servers shitting the bed) but you shouldn't be getting booted from the lobby once you're in, sounds like a connection issue if not a game files mismatch thingalso, 1.3.3 is out broshttps://steamcommunity.com/games/473770/announcements/detail/3753244942579509632RIP Caliburn
>you can now see where you are going on Aciknovae
Aciknovae, Harpstone, Metro, and Nova Split 1.1 and their reverse variants are all on the workshop as of today, can't wait to experience Metro The Way It Was Meant to be PlayedTM.
>>1108213got em for the track pack update coming next weekif anyone has track suggestions for the pack, feel free to post em, i might have missed some cool shit on the workshopso far i've got:Cairodrome II ReverseRaven's NestSSGX-KoroderaLegacy Aciknovae+ReverseLegacy Harpstone+ReverseLegacy Metro+ReverseLegacy Nova Split+ReverseVirgo
Aciknovae update is just a wider, looser version of the track; completely pointless desu. Reverse feels awful for speed laps, the boost into the first turn is aids and it's a 40 second reset.The new track is fury-tier visual vomit, if anything exists beyond the track limits I wouldn't know because I'm being blinded by the excessively over-patterned track textures. Yes snake we know, passing small objects/patterns gives a sense of speed; there's a fucking limit.
>>1108736Eschaton, site 18
>>1109334thanks, forgot about those ones someone mentioned a week or two ago, added
Not sure if it was excluded on purpose since Yukatek Forward is in the pack, but Yukatek Reverse is conspicuously absent.
>>1110655it was excluded but i can't remember why, i'll grab it and give it a test run later

>>1135599That's a shame. The only thing that is actually bothering me is the online now, excluding any /vm/ servers, are there enough people playing to get into a race whenever? Steamdb says there's only about 20 people right now, sadly.

does the firepower stat influence how much weapons slow or just their damage?and while i'm at it asking questions - how to give your username a custom color?
>>1142311just the damage, which is also influenced by the other ship's shielding stat, except for tremor which does a fixed amount of damage with any shipfor the coloured name, you just need to put html tags in your name, so like <color=#hexcode>name</color>
happy new year from bongistan broshere's to another year of racismt. star
>>1142673
Finally got my licensed version after beating game full-plat on pirated 1.2. Can i get the rundown on the most crucial changes since then? Caliburn feels so generic now and ai has much stronger rubberbanding.Maybe i'll race with some of you bros sometime.
>>1143351Protonic was changed in 1.3, it feels more like Scorpio now. I think at some point Tremor, Energy Wall, and Turbo weapon pad drop rates were nerfed.
>>1143423Yeah i def feel wall drop nerfs, got like 3 drops over the span of 4 hours.Most of map changes are good but i dislike new harpstone, it kind of misses that slighly crude feel, you know. Also sad that final chain booster chinook was removed on vega square.Protonic still slides like a bitch on pads though, didn't feel much difference otherwise, but i barely flew it.
>>1143351-caliburn is basically tenrai now 2, snake gutted its unique handling-harpstone is worse now imo, metro had its chicanes nerfed HARD and is basically ruined, the small changes to arrivon and aciknovae are alright-protonic doesn't drift so good anymore-turbo droprate got nerfed-the chinese drag track had its chicane removed so it's just a wider tokyo bowl with a jump now
oh yeah
>>1143578niceout of curiosity what'd you learn while going for it? for me it was using my afterburners mainly during the "flat-ish" part of the track just before the drop down into the boosters, it felt like the first time i had to actually think about where i was using my afterburners due to the short length of the pit
>>1143583probably the biggest time save i had was boosting over the chicanes to keep as straight as possible
I have came to a conclusion that not every track has to "flow" to be good. I really liked rough metro/nova split turns and vega square has been a test of resilience which could be countered with lower lap number if you didn't want to drag the race for too long. A lot of these changed tracks had a really distinct feel which diversified them from more generic ones.
>havent played in forever>load up game>protonic feels like shit>wont driftWhat the fuck? Im actually really mad
>>1144462it's over, protonic and caliburn lost what made them stand out from the other shipsthe latest track pack update has a few ships you can install, one of them being an older version of protonic before its handling got fucked, i think its other stats are a bit wonky compared to the goat 1.1 protonic though
>>1144473But... why?It was only situationally decent but always fun
>>1144476"to make the ship less twitchy so you can let the ship carry its momentum", according to vonsnake
>>1141635looks like we're hyperzenning tonight, newfriends bewarelobby's up
what controller do people use for this game?
>>1146286DS4 for me
>>1146286xboner 1 controller. just treat the a button carefully since its prone to getting sticky easily.
>>1146224closed nowsick races bros, thanks for joining
>>1146309you can set thrust to toggle instead of hold as well, makes the starting boost a bit harder to get but you get used to it
>>1146286
can somebody break down using pitch & yaw to me as if i were a 5 year old, the picture didn't do it for me
>>1147479typically i suggest to mainly just focus on pitching up (holding down) for most stage geometry unless there's a huge ass drop. this is mainly because pitching is not instant and in most cases trying to pitch down for a small hill will just cause you to bump into the track losing speed and the speed loss you may get for not pitching perfectly will be mitigated more if your pitching up rather than down or not at all, from what I played that seems to yield the most consistent results anyway
>>1147625thanks, that was what i was leaning towards too but its very difficult to judge the speed gain when you are already going mach 5 - glance bottom right and you're in the neighbours yard
>>1147789You'll get used to it, pitching is mostly a memorization thing (apparently, for some reason a lot of people have trouble thinking of tracks outside of 2 dimensions), you'll learn that some turns on some maps just require an extra input to be held to go faster. It will become intuitive sooner or later.
>1.4 is the final major update for BallisticNG. We'll still be working on additional content beyond 1.4 and providing maintenance, but we're very happy with what BallisticNG brings to the table and are preparing to move onto a new project.bros...

Please remake lobby - can't join :(
>>1166903will do in a sec, im having controller issues anyway, gonna restart game
it's back up
>>1166910remade again due to vonsnake fuckery
You made me leave the game and now I timeout when I try to rejoin
>>1166913all you can do is keep trying to join, there's no known cause or fix for the timeout issueblame the dev and his shitty netcode
>>1166915Well restarting the lobby fixed it
>>1166918yeah and sometimes it doesn't lol, i think its something to do with 2 players having problems connecting to each other because often someone will get timeouts until another person leaves and then they can join just fine
>>1166915Guess if you're not going to restart the lobby, I just won't be playing this evening

>>1168725yeah
i like that i got to join a session _once_ then my job changed my schedule so that i always work saturdays, complaining months after the fact, but thought it would be funny
>>1170935sorry to hear that anon, hope your schedule changes back so you can play again
>>1170935sorry about that anon :^(it'd be great if we could have a second host running another weekly session at a different time for peeps who cant play on saturday night due to timezone or other schedule reasons, i'd do it myself but i can't be bothered
>>1126929dude it's fucking impossible you need to do like a tight perfect lap 5 times in a row to get gold never mind platinummy fastest lap time was 00:30:46 but that was with afterburners for the whole finish line, i don't understand how >>1126986 managed it without afterburners
>>1173891It is all about a tight line and pitching up at the dip. All of the TTs are setup so platinum effectively requires perfect laps and afterburner usage.
can't join, timed out :(
got in
>11/16 players, server is full
>>1174382just keep tryingwhen someone joins and gets the clone bug it takes up player slots
Everybody close steam, and then rehost and come back. Let's see if that fixes it
184.55.157.233:25565Did that work? If not try joining my IP lobby. Maybe the glitch won't happen without steam.
>>1174391does it work
>>1174391everyone move to this lobbysteamworks is shitting the bed tonight
>>1174398It does
Go back to the steam server, the other one just got fucked up.
>>1174391RIPi'm hosting again, see if you can join, maybe steamworks stopped shitting itself like last weekt. star
Rejoin folks, host clicked leave
Sorry, I misclicked. The lobby is up agian.
>>1174427nevermind
>>1174426It didn't get fucked up, the host was a retard and clicked the wrong button
>>1174391closed, GGs brosthanks for doing the IP lobby when steam shit the bed
>>1174514IP is the best way. There should be less lag and pirate bros can join too.
>>1174519didn't /vm/ host with IP before? I thought you guys just didn't want pirates joining lmao
>>1174833the game was IP only hosting for a while until vonsnake added steam lobbies back in like, 1.1 or something i think?we never wanted to exclude piratebros there was just seemingly never really much demand for pirate friendly sessions, and steam lobby hosting is just easierthe game uses a 7 year old version of steamworks which is probably what's causing all the retarded ass bugs and timeout errors lately, sometimes it works just fine for the whole raceday and sometimes half the players can't join or get clone bugged with any luck that'll be fixed when 1.4 releases, but IP lobbies will probably still be superior
>>1174843i see. I still haven't even bought the fucking game, so seeing that i missed an IP lobby made a little sad, but probably for the best, since i don't even know how to turn without smacking every wall in my way. I'll just wait a little bit more until a sale to eat ass with you guys.
Any good bng youtubers? I want to watch people (and hopefully learn from them) do high speed laps of showcase cool custom tracks in my free time but they all either suck at game, barely play bng or are furfaggots.
>>1175890I don't really think there are any 'bng youtubers' but 'Brionac', 'Phantom Plays', and 'Dekaid' have videos of speed laps/time trials. '2045ce' has videos on Annapurna and Desolata.
Can anyone help me setting up a pirate server for me and friends? We got the latest version from CS.RIN, and Im able to set up a dedicated lobby with the provided .bat file, however I cant join if I host and it quickly disconnects
>>1179411get the latest GOG version from gog-games if you want to pirategog-games.to/game/ballisticng
>>1174849>since i don't even know how to turn without smacking every wall in my wayjust play through the campaign, it does a good job of easing you into the faster speed classes and racedays are usually on halberd speed so once you hit spectre you should be good, the real difficulty in MP comes from learning the custom tracks and the fact that human players are way more aggressive and unpredictable with weapons than the botsalso refer to the newbro guides if you havent already>>1055527>>1055528>>1055529
>>1181042closed, ggs broswhat a fukken tourney
Brought GRIP on sale today. Wow, hyperzen has spoiled me. I can't for the love of lord play arcade racing games which are at least not zen-class speed.
>>1181593i think GRIP can get pretty wild on its highest speed setting, although for how open the tracks are it probably could have done with another step highergreat game, i wish it had a better multiplayer lobby system
>>1181593GRIP is kind of cute but the physics seems like even more of a dice roll on whether you'll fuck up so hard that the race is essentially lost. Was also never sure if airblades were meant to be better or worse.
>>1182066Most of GRIPs development was the devs adding in extra logic to stop it being a flight sim. The tl;dr is the physic calculate force properly, but you have irresistible objects (the cars) hitting immovable objects (the scenery) at very high speeds so the physics are saying that force has to go somewhere. Compared to the early builds the cars by final release are practically glued to the track.
>>1182211Interesting, guessing a lot of has to do with the ability to transfer onto different surfaces. I suppose the physics also make the game standout in a way that you can still try to mitigate some weapon hits and sketchy landings somewhat with some mastery.

Vonsnake just posted there is a bug with the production version where a player using a locked ship will block anyone from joining a lobby who doesn't have the ship unlocked.Also instead of Diavolt only, Gtek only.
>>1194283shiet, so if someone has the scorplet selected, people without a forklift license can't join? that's fucked, ill keep an eye out for it if there's issues with tomorrow night's lobby>gtek onlywe did that not too long ago for meme racism, embrace the violence bitch nigga
>>1192138it's up gamersdiavolt day, prepare for CONTENDER
>>1195540closed, GGs everyonecygon vs diavolt was fun as fuck
Will play again when vonsnake fixes the game so you can land weapons without being in the host's basement and you don't randomly get flung around for scraping a wall
>>1195813i dont know what you were doing to be scrape bonking so much with diavolt, it feels the same as any other ship to me in that sense
what's a good ship you can rely on to always win a tournament? Luna Reverse is fucking me in the ass at the last lap

>>1218116cut from the update after testing: all of the BNGL except for the two harpstones and utah 6, and wega conduit because its unironically the worst track i've ever seen in my life, grab it from the workshop and give it a run on zen if you want a good laughgonna leave the pack update for next week since its kinda short notice now, so nows the time to shill stuff, gonna need download links if its a track that isn't on the workshop because fuck discord
>>1218330yeah but lemme guess the collision is perfect and it is impossible to get out of bounds honest and if you happen to you are lying and proof doesn't count
>>1218519there might be some skipping shenanigans possible with the lava pool on the reverse variant, i dunno i havent tried to break the track much yetit's not an instakill like the Oblivion lava but it drains your health very fast

>>1218499Enai Track update announced for this weekend
>>1218973he's updating some tracks? which ones? ill put the newer versions into the track pack update for next saturday
>>1218499noice, i went and suscribed to all the new tracks on the workshop
>>1218988you might want to unsubscribe from those when i put out the update next week, having duplicate workshop tracks and custom tracks installed can cause issues like the game failing to recognize that you have the track installed in multiplayer lobbiesin the meantime enjoy the new enai tracks though, i think they're top tier
>>1218992i'm acoustic and only keep the manually installed track pack files for tracks that arent on the workshopworkshop tracks dont really update often enough to break anything, the only time its been an issue was when i had an updated version of cobblestone from the workshop which presumably hadnt made it into the track pack
>>1219000actually having looked at the files, cobble forward and reverse are both on the workshop, the one i was missing is the myterious 'cobble3.wtrk' which i neglected to put i my track folder because i assumed it was a track i already had

So far the new tracks are 50% trash/broken and 50% excellent
>>1234302only flame fortress and haunting runway are kinda shite, the rest are fine
>>1234308Broken new tracks that need to be removed:- Dagon Prime: Someone crashed on load- Galleria: Able to clip through the wall and get stuck (same problem as the Mario Kart tracks)- Atan-Ra Reverse: Able to get stuck on terrain (same problem as forwards)- Vostrukha 1: Someone said it skipped a lap for them
>>1234515future crashed on dagon prime because his track install was fucked up, and he fixed itone wall being janky isn't reason to remove galleria and atan-ra (works on my machine thoughever)still not clear whether the "lap skip" on vostrukha was because the finish line is further ahead than expected

>>1262874NTA but it could be cause for concern considering how close he is to snake. The reason why he is able to do the bngl stuff is because snake gave him access to the internal track files ships and other assets as well as permission to port older versions of that stuff to the newer versions of the gameI dont know about you but a literal cabal of discord trannies being close to any games developer doesnt exactly sit well with me
>>1261968kino
>>1267127the real big brained opinion is that a dev letting any community member of any flavor anywhere the fuck near the game is bad. don't even make a bug report queue, let alone a discord or forum. Doom 2, Halo 2 and 3 are the only times in the history of gaming that forming a "community" and "listening to them" had any sort of positive outcome.
