A checkpoint or blitz from Golden Gate's tunnel to addon Bay Bridge's tunnel (or the other way around) by using the highway, that'd be awesome. However, I don't know if making opponents drive on Bay Bridge would be possible.

It's not possible.

Is this project cancelled?
I sure hope not. All of this looks amazing, and I can't wait to try out these races. Between this and the Imperial London Racepack, it almost seems like a brand new game, like MM2 - Second Edition or MM2 Revisited, but with no connection to the mod that was created of the same name.

I think it would be really cool for these racepacks to come with locked vehicles and special paintjobs to go along with them. I can't imagine that it would be too difficult to add in the coding for such things, but maybe that's only because I'm not an expert in coding and some veterans could tell me that essentially creating a brand new game would be a lot of work. But, hey, I can dream, can't I? :wink:
It's not getting cancelled just yet. The reason why I suddenly stopped posting progress is because I went on a mental block and caught up with a bunch of other stuff which led to me forgetting about MM2 until now. Since summer is nearing by, I might actually go back to working on this mod and finish it once and for all.

As for the unlockables, I don't think it's possible to implement such a thing without replacing an existing vehicle or a paintjob.

I do have a blitz race planned for the Bay Bridge. However, it's gonna be a bit of a pain to place the checkpoints, since the bridge itself has inaccurate coordinates in the RaceMaker program.

Good progress with the race mod!

When it comes to normal street driving, any car is as good as good as any other. Only the racetrack can truly separate the cars' abilities.

Those are some pretty cool races. Was Dead Man's Hike inspired by the City Turnee race from the SF Racemod? It looks pretty similar, having so many checkpoints.

Not exactly. Was leaning more towards Lookout! and The Hills Are Alive, but the jump over Lombard Street was ultimately scrapped since it damaged out opponents early. The next checkpoint race, however, could be much more similar to the exact race you brought up!

I was going to post these two circuit races last night, but I was getting very sleepy so I only posted five out of seven new races. I also forgot to link the gallery to Dead Man's Hike, oops.

Circuit #7 - Alley After Alley

Image

You and your fellow gang members decided to have a meetup outside the bus terminal to have a discussion about their next race. The gang leader proposed a highway drag race, but you were having none of that and instead opted for a circuit race that involves switching between different alleys. Seeing as the gang members have never done such a thing before, they agreed to do the challenge after much consideration.

Features
  • 6 Opponents.
  • Amateur Opponents: 2 Audi TTs, 2 Dune Beetles, 2 Ford Mustangs
  • Pro Opponents: 4 RSi Beetles, 2 Audi TTs
  • Weather: Rainy Noon for Amateur, Foggy Evening for Pro.
  • Traffic Density: 28% on Amateur, 32% on Pro.
  • 10 Cops in Amateur, 12 Cops in Pro.

Circuit #8 - Uphill Struggle

You wanna know how it feels to drive a Hot Wheels track in MM2, well here ya go. This race involves going uphill and downhill several times with crazy cops scattered throughout. When you go up the Lombard Street, you're either gonna sent flying into orbit, or you'll be stuck like a gator in quicksand.

Features
  • 6 Opponents.
  • Amateur Opponents: 2 Ford F-350s, 2 Audi TTs, 2 Fastbacks
  • Pro Opponents: 2 Audi TTs, 2 Panoz Roadsters, 2 Aston Martins
  • Weather: Foggy Evening for Amateur, Rainy Evening for Pro.
  • Traffic Density: 30% on Amateur, 38% on Pro.
  • 9 Cops in Amateur, 14 Cops in Pro.

Great to see you back. Seeing you back again motivates me to get back to work too :D
All of them looks so amazing.

The idea of Fort Ghirardelli looks amazing. Starting with the unexplored areas is the beauty of making blitz races!
Finally you made Bridge Runner, a race that makes use of that revisited bridge! The cops at the start spot do make a lot sense! Definitely it doesn't look easy :)
The storyline of Sunset Crises makes complete sense with this game! If this game had a story mode, the race would be one of its missions :)
It would be amazing to play Dead Man's Hike. Man I love the front side side of GTRs in the picture of Professional Mode. They used to scare me when I was a kid back then. <3
The starting of Alley after Alley seems fantastic.

This is probably the most chaotic batch of races I have yet. From here on, you will encounter Rogue Opponents! Their sole purpose is to wreak havoc, rather to win a race.

Blitz #10 - Afterdark Pursuit

Image

As it turns out, you're not the only fugitive from the San Francisco Police Department. A gang of street racers have been making some noise throughout the city, which is why there are so many cops out there in the middle of the night. You better bail out of San Francisco while you can, because the police and mobsters are about to go to war with one another!

Features
  • Weather: Clear Night for Amateur, Cloudy Night for Pro.
  • Traffic Density: 31% on Amateur, 39% on Pro.
  • Time Limit: 1:40 for Amateur, 1:32 for Pro.
  • 8 Cops in Amateur, 12 Cops in Pro.
  • 8 interrupting opponents consisting of Audi TTs, Aston Martins, Roadsters, and Panoz GTRs.

Circuit #9 - Drive-By Circuit

Ever since the aforementioned street racing gang infiltrated San Francisco, the cops have been hard at work patrolling downtown. However, you're not gonna let them stop your fun, aren't you? Go out there, and play with the traffic as you sprint across this Figure-8 Circuit!

Features
  • 7 Opponents.
  • Amateur Opponents: 3 RSi Beetles, 3 Audi TTs, 1 Aston Martin.
  • Pro Opponents: 3 Aston Martins, 2 Panoz Roadsters, 2 Panoz GTRs.
  • Weather: Rainy Morning for Amateur, Clear Night for Pro.
  • Traffic Density: 36% on Amateur, 47% on Pro.
  • 9 Cops in Amateur, 15 Cops in Pro.
  • 2 "Cheating" Opponents that go backwards! Even though their checkpoint counter won't register, they're still capable of winning the race!

Circuit #10 - Motorway Madness

Image

This race is the epitome of chaos. You've got cops, you've got speeding traffic, you've got maniac racers by your side, and most of all, you've got a couple of behemoths running rampant in the motorway! If you can squeeze past your obstacles, you may just be a worthy contender of being the king of the road.

Features
  • 4 Regular Opponents, and 4 Rogue Opponents.
  • Amateur Opponents: 4 Aston Martins.
  • Pro Opponents: 4 Panoz Roadsters
  • Weather: Clear Night for Amateur, Foggy Morning for Pro.

  • Traffic Speed Limit is changed to 90! (70 in Amateur)
  • 10 Cops in Amateur, 14 Cops in Pro.
  • Rogue opponents consists of heavy-duty vehicles such as Freightliners, Double Decker Buses, and City Buses.

I have an idea of 2 races, a freight liner and city bus race in SF and a DD bus race in London.
