[Editor] Puzzle mode

Post by tcq »

Found a very frustrating thing today, while builduing a puzzle map.
Why isn't is possible during the validation run to simply abort the race and drive a new time after changing one block, instead of the need to rebuild everything all the time?
Would be awesome if this could be changed in TM2, if it'll contain the puzzel mode =)

Edit:
What about a puzzle mode for online? Where you enter a server, the map will be loaded into your editor and then you can puzzle, but still have the server chat running? ^^

Edit2: thx xymph :D

Actually, an MP Puzzle mode sounds like a fun idea...that would be interesting to see just how that could be implemented. :)

Most awsome.. Im longing for this since ive seen the puzzle mode in forever.
Its probabaly impossible to create such a dedicated server but i image:
X minutes to place the blocks thats are given to you, X minutes to do a time attack.
wowowowow :lol:

Now here's somethin...maybe the puzzle mode could take a different tack. Someone else builds YOUR track for you. You have to get from point A to point B, but they may have dropped some "holes" in the track. Or an extra S turn as an obstacle. :P

Well then it wouldnt be a puzzle, would it? :P cool idea, but then you could only drive against friends because there would be some people building impossible/very annoying stuff ^^

On the online puzzle mode: What if everybody on the server gets the same puzzle and it depends on how fast you enter the finish. Of course there must be a time limit, too, when nobody accomplishes it.

Well, it would have to be within limits, of course...what could be even funnier would be while you were racing the track, a friend had an editor view and could change the track as you raced on it! :-P
