But with the FOv3 mod for Flatout 1, we had an option to turn custom cars off online. So we had to use a gentlemen agreement online to not use custom cars in a stock Flatout 1 host. We did learn with Flatout 1, some custom cars did give players an advantage online.
#Flatout 2 pc cheats mods#
Mods help Flatout 1 and 2 from getting to stale, can breath new life into FO 1 & 2 over the years. You guys are planning to have a LAN mode? Flatout been a popular game for LAN parties. I assume after "Next Car Game" get release, at some point the online servers will be turn off ( I hope we will get a 6 year run like we got with FO2 ), so please keep this in mind. This is working out OK, except using LAN mod, there no kick vote any more, so can't kick nitro hackers. A good wrecker in GRID 1 derby racing take advantage of wreck cars and barriers in derby racing.Ī note for Bugbear, now that the GameSpy online servers have been turn off after 6 six years, we now use the LAN multiplayer option to go online and race\derby with Tunngle or GameRanger. Or in a GRID 1 type derby race and your car is wreck, you could say " Heddly push my car out into the middle of traffic ". Like in a derby and you are wreck and are spectating, you can say stuff to the players still going. I also would like to see in race chat like what GRID 1 use where hit a button and can bring up a chat window to say something. I hope GRID 2 will be using this kick vote system.Īlso need text chat in the lobby for kick vote system to work well. So players need a good vote system to help them stop bad players from ruining their fun online. In Flatout 1 ( my first online racing game and were I fell in love with online racing with real people), I race with a group of players online that demanded you try and race pretty clean, if you did not, you were not welcome to race with them. Game makers have a tough time stopping players from hacking a game to cheat ( even on the consoles they are founding ways ( like a lag switch ) and some host would like to have clean race, like touring cars in GRID 1 and even in Flatout. Let host police his or her lobby and decide who to kick, then all players are ask yes or no to kick player.
You are referring to PC version? Turn nitro off for a race and see nitro hacker run away from the field.Īnd we do need to have a good kick vote system and what was use in Flatout 2 is the fairest way I have seen it done. Click to expand.You did not see anybody using the nitro hack, unlimited nitro? That why a lot of online host set nitro to 2x.
