surfing in nexuiz

[zuriastrad]

in another thread i came up with the idea of having go karts for the race mode. unfortunately they didn't work with the original hitbox. so i came up with this idea, a hovering surfboard. it works fine with the existing hitbox and you can travel at any speed without having to worry about run animaions not looking right.

Thats a pretty good idea.

Is there any animation or is it just static floating?

imo it'd be pretty cool to have animations where the character moves their legs to reposition the board, like strafing or moving forward/backward. Think UT3's hoverboards.

Are the game physics going to change for race mode? If not, how would carts/hoverboards/dead prostitutes make sense? I keep imagining someone trying to get around with a snowboard on pavement.

I was thinking a little bit about that.

I wonder if it would be too much work or if it would even worthwhile to make separate kart and race modes.

Is it possible to anchor the playermodels to a separate kart or board model in a similar manner to how the weapon models are anchored to the playermodels?

This would make me want to play race more. Right now with only running speed it's not as good as it could be . But surfing... that's better!

Have you already tried the other race maps? But yes, a surfrace map - why not?

I like this idea! F1!
