How do you put it in the game? I mean, how the game will recognize the stages?

Anothr stage thread? Great! Smile

Just from the profiles I would say not bad. But If I can give you an advice, then try to make better/softer mountain slopes. Not steeper than 15%, rarely over 10%. Its just better for the gameplay-feeling. Then I see often sections where one section is very steep, then comes a flatter one, then steep and so on (e.g. Stage 5, Chaltebrune). If you lower the steep sections, the flatter one will increase which will make the climb more steady in terms of the percentages. There are some tools in the editor to get this done (3D + Height View at the same time, Disabling the fixed height points, adjusting the road points manually).

Then, your flat stages have a max slope of almost 10%. Sometimes its a good idea to avoid this. Its not that important, but most times its just a wrong set road point you can delete and have lower max slopes.

Other than that, keep them coming and lets see how the second half of your variant will unfold. Wink

This is probably not the thread to ask for, since its frunsis' stage thread. The answer is rather simple. Just place them in CM_Stages in your main folder and name them correctly. There are quite some threads out there which explain how to do it.

Ok, sorry then, frunsi! Pfft Thanks for the explanation, biggrassi, I didn't think it was that simple!

@bigggassi: I actually looked up almost all of the mountains for my variant on the internet (profiles and descriptions) and they are mostly accurate. Some of them I even drove up myself and for example the Bachtel (finish stage 5) is actually as steep as I made it, the last 700 m are 21% on average IRL (really tough mountain). Also, the region stage 5 leads through (Zürcher Oberland) is known for very steep and unsteady roads, so I didn't try to make everything smooth in order to make the stage a bit more realistic.
But I agree with your tip for the flat stages. I still have some problems with those small artifical hills I get which don't exist in real life. My first stages were a lot worse than those I'm doing now, but there's still a lot of room for improvement Smile

Also, stage 7 and 8 are finished and I'm now working on stage 9. Check out the OP.

Stage 9 finished! Download will follow later this evening.

Great last stage.
 
frunsi
Thanks for the feeeback!
I tried to follow your advice and make the mountains a bit more even. It didn't quite work out as well as I wanted it to, but I guess it's good enough.

Like the variant. Smile
