Random horn sound during race

Post by metal-dad »

Hi there,

Don't know for sure if this is the right spot for this issue, but because it happens both in Canyon as well as in Stadium, this seemed the best place to mention.

In Canyon, driving against replays from other people, every once in a while there is the sound of the horn from the other player. Mostly at places in the track that require a bit more attention because of their difficulty, or because you have to turn, break or whatever on that exact spot in order to be able to compete. I always thought that it was done on purpose by "the other guy" to distract me from racing properly. Somewhat childiss in my opinion, but hey, when the going gets tough, everything is allowed. :twisted:

Last week, while driving against my own ghost in Stadium, suddenly I heard a horn sound. Being sure that I wasn't doing this myself, it could not be anyone else than my ghost. But I am certain that I didn't hit the horn when I drove my best time on that track, because I simply don't ever hit the horn while racing. The funny thing is that it doesn't happen ever time. Only when I'm a certain distance away from my ghost. Not behind or in front, but next to it.
Because of the imo sometimes strange sounds in Stadium (sometimes I hear a doorbell, with noone at my front door), I'm still not a 100% sure if it is really a horn sound or just my imagination, although I checked it several times.

In Canyon it occurs in many tracks on many spots in the tracks. In Stadium at this moment I'm only sure about track A12 in the turn right before the first checkpoint.

If "the other guys" are doing this to kill my concentration, I can absolutely live with that. But if it's randomly done and if even my ghost gets free horn sounds without even asking for it, I would like to know: WHY??? :?

It's not such a big issue. It's just that I'm wondering if I accused other people of using their horn while they didn't do anything, because it is a "feature" of TM2...

Thnx :thumbsup:

Mm... Normally when I race against my own ghost and I hear the horn, it's the horn I used on the previous run. It is also true that sometimes I have the feeling that it happens randomly but I never payed attention to it :P Maybe some developer can confirm us under which criteria is horn played by ghost replays.

Thnx for the reply. The funny thing is that when both my opponent and I cross the finish line, the horns are triggered. But then the original (custom) horns. So at that moment I hear the custom horn of my opponent as well as my own custom horn, while during the race the standard horns are used. It's not a big issue, I was just curious. As a matter of fact, I still am... ;)
