You didn't, did you?

YOU MAKE KITTENS CRY :'(

I think there should be some explanation for beginners. It might be frustrating for a newcomer to not understand any of those track styles, but most of them are actually easily distinguishable. And a option to select quick/slot [x] might be good too, because that's also someone one might like to know before downloading a track. (quick tracks tend to be harder on laggy computers, etc.)

CRAZY = like a short mini rpg /trial, but it isn´t trial or rpg,
becouse its to short to be classed as either,
That is just what i heard 8-|
TRICKY = Tight areas, hard to make a perfect run, but someone always do :o ^^

btw, some offtopic suggestion: why not to change 15/30/45/etc. secs to author time, rounded to integer?

wow.. that is nice idea, to show the at, if you got 15.65 then it show length: 16 (*) on the track, and no one can put 45 sec when its 58 sec ^^
* = not optional
SkunkY says:
Probably because it would make track searches by lenth more complicated. ^^

I dont think its to hard, to sort by length, i know its even possible to sort after the real at: 16.517, but ofc that is a little exaggerated so we must round this example to 17 sec ofc.

MD says:
because when (example) i look for a short track, i look for a ~15secs long track, not for a 17 or 21 secs long one. imo they're fine as they are now.


I agree with you (y)

and about the style: "other" is a very good style to add ++ on that

okay, let's remake it a bit: why not to just show AT on trackpage? I don't think it's too hard to extract this info from files ^^

In case of lap tracks, make sure the time corresponds to the time of the last lap.

You don't want people looking for 30 second lap tracks for their server to think your track is 40 seconds (from a standing start) or 70 seconds (two laps)!

The point is not to show the at, its just to show how long a track is (and therefore we round it off ), and you want to be able to sort tracks by length :p

By the way, will it be obligatory to give a rating within your award or will you be able to choose whether you give a rating or not?


as Mr A sad: "i think it was him" : we can go back and change or vote later and i guess its not a must to rate a track but i don´t know yet :$

as my picture show in the award tread with 27 pages hahaha :$
rating = free ? :d

A lil' suggestion:

o Adding a "Mixture / Combination" style, for tracks that involves several track styles.

or instead of having a dropdown menu where you choose only one style, make it possible to choose more than one style to describe the track.

This is easy: use a reverse booster to stop the engine, then add 10 blocks of straight road so it takes you 5 minutes to roll to the finish.
