View Full Version : The Slicks'n'slide Championship Tournament

It's the time for the first Slicks'n'Slide championship tournament of Abandonia!

Slicks'n'Slide is a classic shareware title by Timo Kauppinen. The amazing playability, the easy, simple to learn controls, and the fun gameplay made it the best of its kind back in the mid-'90s, and it's still one of the most entertaining racing games ever. And best of all, the registered version comes with a track editor, which guarantees an endless supply of new tracks (as all tracks work with the unregistered one, too). That's also the reason why it is ideal for having a competition.

The champion will get to choose his/her prize from several options, all listed at the competition website at http://slicks05.hopto.org (or http://koti.mbnet.fi/herd/slicks05).

Here's how it goes (it's all very simple):

1.) Download Slicks'n'Slide (version 1.30D) for example from here (http://koti.mbnet.fi/herd/slicks05/slix130d.zip) and read through the competition rules (http://koti.mbnet.fi/herd/slicks05/rules3.html). There you will find all the things explained in this post, and a bunch of helpful hints.

2.) Go to the download page (http://koti.mbnet.fi/herd/slicks05/dl3.html) and download the current track file to your Slicks directory.

3.) Run Slicks and try to drive through the track as fast as possible. You can try as many times as you wish.

4.) When you're satisfied with your time, e-mail the same track file to me (timo@diplomats.com) - and please remember to include your forum name.

5.) Download the next track when it comes available.


- There will be 6 tracks altogether. I make them by myself, so they are completely new for everyone.

- A new track will be available at the competition website (http://slicks05.hopto.org) every Tuesday at 11pm EET (9pm GMT). You must send your results by that deadline, or they won't be accepted.

- If after sending the file, but before the deadline, you get a better lap, you are allowed to send it and it will be applicable to the competition.

- The player with the fastest lap gets 10 points, the 2nd gets 6pts, the 3rd gets 4pts, the 4th gets 3pts, the 5th gets 2pts and the 6th gets one point.

- Missing a track doesn't matter. You can play as few as you want, or you can play them all.

The competition deadlines:

Track 1 - available now, return by Tuesday the 24th of May.
Track 2 - available on the 24th of May, return by Tuesday the 31st of May.
Track 3 - available on the 31st of May, return by Tuesday the 7th of June.
Track 4 - available on the 7th of June, return by Tuesday the 14th of June.
Track 5 - available on the 14th of June, return by Tuesday the 21st of June.
Track 6 - available on the 21st of June, return by Tuesday the 28th of June.

(The deadline is at 9pm GMT on each day above).

All of the above (and more) is explained also at the competition website (http://slicks05.hopto.org). Should you have any questions, ask them in this thread.

Have fun, and may the best one win!

(I reserve myself the right to take part, as there's one prize I also would like to win..)

Ok, with still a few days to go to the deadline of the first track, the first submissions have started rolling in. Some good times, some not-so-good ones in there.

I've been thinking of posting some standings on how people have done so far (just the current ranking, without the actual times) so that everyone would know if they should try a bit harder (as the rules say, you can make as many submissions as you want). What do you think?

Another thing - how many of you are planning to take part? Is anyone having problems running the game?

Tulac
21-05-2005, 12:28 AM
I just downloaded the game , will try it our now, it looks very familiar, and yes, please post the results so I know how I'm standing...

EDIT: I see there are many wehicles, are they sorted by speed, because I seem to have the best time with that formula like that's last when you select them...

Also where can I see this tire and engine level?

Timpsi
21-05-2005, 11:00 AM
Ok, some instructions for the ones who have never played the game before:

1. The Formula 1 car is the fastest (officially called IndyCar) on asphalt.
2. From options set the money level as high as you can, tuning on, and the rest off.
3. When tuning is set on, you can set the engine, tire and other levels before the race.

Oh. And do NOT set the engine and tire levels higher than 4. If you set them any higher, the game won't record your laps.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't realise you could improve your car. How are those standings coming along?

I'll put the standings up once there have been enough submissions - right now there have been 4, including myself.

Tulac
21-05-2005, 03:49 PM
From what I've seen you can only tune your car if the Computer is turned on, not that you can race with them on the custom track...
Also it is impossible to set 4-4-4(engine, tire, steering), right?
An optimum for me is either 4-2-0 or 4-0-3...
Also since I've add tuning my best time has improved for a second...
Damn you Timpsi I can't stop playing this game... :D

Timpsi
21-05-2005, 03:55 PM
Only steering and tires have the maximum of 4, the rest can be anything you want. So even 4-4-20 would be acceptable.

Tulac
21-05-2005, 04:02 PM
But I don't have enough money for that, even with it set on maximum...

Oh, quite possible. I usually use 4-4-4 myself. The steering isn't that important, anyway.

That's odd. When I set money to maximum I can afford 4-4-18. Oh, and it did help a little bit, although not as much as I'd hoped.

Tulac
21-05-2005, 07:31 PM
Hmm that's odd I've put it on 980 money and then put it back on 1000 and it works now :blink:

Timpsi
22-05-2005, 11:18 PM
With less than 48 hours to go, only 4 submissions (inclusing myself) have come in. Disappointing, really - either the marketing has failed, or people don't care about the prizes.

Here are the current standings:

1. Timpsi
2. Kosta
3. Tom Henrik
4. Flop

There's still plenty of time, though - the deadline for returning the first track is at 9pm GMT on Tuesday the 24th.

If anyone else is in the same boat as me, this was maybe not the best time to do this - exams and such.

Exams and such over here as well. The best thing about the competition is that it takes about 5-10 minutes to take part - and surely everyone can manage to find that much free time over a whole week?

Kosta's an exception to the 5-10 minute thing. He has sent 3 submissions in already. ;)

Dino
23-05-2005, 12:20 AM
Could you post track times of current competitors so that people could see how good they are and try a little bit harder?

Eagle of Fire
23-05-2005, 06:29 AM
How can you "tune" your cars? I turned the option on but when I select "Go!" it goes directly to the race without options...

I remember playing this game when I was about 12-14. A very nice game tough it seems like this version is way higher than the one I used to play. :ok:

Edit: Nevermind that, I found out minutes after posting this. I also emailed my result. :)

Flop
23-05-2005, 06:45 AM
You have to select custom game type (or something like that) in the game options.

Timpsi
23-05-2005, 09:03 AM
The instructions for tuning are in this thread already. ;)

Current standings for the track 1:

1. Timpsi
2. Eagle of Fire
3. Kosta
4. kOS
5. Tom Henrik
6. Flop

And no, I'm not going to post the times before the deadline is up. Doing so would cut the number of submissions ("meh, I'm not good enough"), and there would be considerably less people taking part in the competition. And that's not good for anyone.

Eagle of Fire
23-05-2005, 12:38 PM
Hummm, second heh? I'm sure I could reduce my time a little again, I'll look into it. :sneaky:

Tulac
23-05-2005, 02:50 PM
So we can resend the results, if we make better ones in the meantime? (Ofcourse all iniside the deadline)

Quite close. ;)

The standings are still the same, though. No change.

Tulac
24-05-2005, 01:36 PM
I wonder just how close we are to each other... *exciting*
Who is givng away this prizes, I mean I know Timpsi is the organizer, but if he wins that'd mean he'd give the prize to himself :blink:

Still 3 and half hours to go!

Timpsi
25-05-2005, 12:59 AM
Ok, the second track is up, as are the results from the first. Tulac and Eagle of Fire had TWICE the exact same times, and they both beat mine like one hour before the deadline. Lucky sods. :P

Flop
25-05-2005, 01:19 AM
And now the realisation dawns on me: I suck at this game!

Eagle of Fire
25-05-2005, 04:04 AM
I fail to see where I could see the time result for everyone for the first race. Is there somewhere we can see that now that the race is over? That's really what I was looking for right now to be frank.

Edit: I also sent my first try for the second track already.

Not enough submissions yet. Only 2-3 have come in so far, and that's including myself. I think 5 is a good limit - once there are 5 people with their times in, I will post the standings.

Kosta
27-05-2005, 12:20 AM
Its a horrible track :crazy:

Can't even get under 10sec time :cry:

Tulac
28-05-2005, 05:35 PM
I didn't even had the time to try it out (OK I did two times), thankfully there's still enough time...

Eagle of Fire
28-05-2005, 10:44 PM
Timpsi: Having the leaders so far would really be a motivation to try a little harder, right now I'm not really feeling the urge to even try to best my time even tough I'm sure I could lower it by a lot...

Ok, for motivational purposes:

1. Eagle of Fire
2. Xcom Freak

I'd be number 1, but my hard disk crashed and I cannot access the Slicks files, and so I cannot prove my time.

Timpsi
30-05-2005, 07:06 PM
A blatant double-post to remind people that there are 24 hours left for the 2nd track.

Situation right now:

1. Eagle of Fire
2. Kosta
3. X-com Freak

Eagle of Fire
30-05-2005, 10:30 PM
Sent an improved time to ensure my victory. I did not feel quite challenged on this course... :blink:

Timpsi

People, pay attention to the rules and instructions before taking part! Do not submit your results for the track 1 anymore, as the deadline for that was already a week ago. The one you should be racing on is s3track2.ss, and you can download it from the website stated in the first post of this thread.

It's really not all that difficult.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the current situation:

1. Eagle of Fire
2. Timpsi
3. Kosta
4. X-com Freak

They both work perfectly for me and two friends of mine.

Time is up. The results and the track number 3 are up on the site.

EDIT: Huge difference between the first and the last, but still some very close cases (like between me and Eagle there was only 0,01 seconds!). Interesting. The choice of the vehicle was important here, as it probably will be in the track 3 as well.

It's still impossible to guess who will win the whole thing, the differences in points are not very big.

Eagle of Fire
01-06-2005, 03:09 PM

Key to this track is passing the water as fast as possible.

Alrighty! I shall send soon. I've had a bit of a go, and I just got lucky and got a better time. I'm sure others will have better, but we will see.

I remember this game from years and years ago. It was awesome playing 4 player with my friends.

Timpsi
08-06-2005, 01:18 AM
Ok, the results and the new track are up on the site. Very, very small differences this time, and with a great variety of vehicles. Me and Eagle have a small lead before the others, but since the competition is just halfway, anything can still happen.

And Tulac, the key was to go around the water. Almost all cars go faster on grass than in water. ;)

auhsor

As it is a bit unfair that I know the times of everyone and could have used that to my benefit, I will from now on post my current best time along with the current standings. That way you can compare yourself to my time and see how you're doing. However, I won't tell you my current rank, as that would harm the other competitors.

Hopefully that will make you fellows try a bit harder. ;)

Currently my best time on the track 4 is 9.76.

Worry not, you'll figure it out sooner or later. :)

And people, keep in mind that even though your time is slower (or so ridiculously faster that you'll feel the competition is too easy to bother with) than mine, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't send your time in. There are still plenty of points to grab.

My current best: 08.98. I think it can stay at that for now.

I strongly recommend reading through this thread. There are plenty of valuable bits of information in there concerning the coice of the vehicle, tuning, settings, etc.

And no use in waiting for the next year.

The new track is up, and the results for the previous one will show up soon.

Sorry about being a bit slow this time, got some nasty computer problems.

The new track is an easy, fast one.

The fact that you never said the timelimit was coming and/or has passed probably has something to do with that. :angry:

Please answer my question, can we send results after the deadline, if they were made before the deadline?

Oh, didn't realize it was actually a question. Well, no, as the deadline is there for a reason. Sorry. It'd be too easy for the people to start cheating by first checking the best times of the round, then turning the computer clock a couple days back and race until the time is good enough. I'm sure you see the reason there.

And Eagle, the deadline has been the same for the past 4 weeks and it's explained in the first post of this thread and the website of the competition. ;)

Doesn't change something much to me. I was actually waiting for the countdown before sending my results.

Anyhow, now that it is sure that I can't reach you back in points I see no point in participating in the future races. I'd be surprised if somebody manage to get to the second rank and beat me.

I think it's quite possible to reach your rank(if you won't play anymore), a win is 10 points...
Ofcourse beating Timpsi, that only you have a vague chance of doing...

Eagle of Fire
16-06-2005, 07:33 PM
A win is 10 points but for that you need to beat Timpsi. Which drops the point to 6 for a second place.

I'll look into it. If I feel challenged I might give the last track a go. But for now I feel like playing for nothing.

Both you and I have beaten Timpsi before so if he's on, let's say 3rd place, it's quite possible, for you to defeat him, and I'll have plenty of free time after saturday to make a good time...

Timpsi

About 6 hours to go. The 6th track may show up a bit late. Hopefully not, though.

Damn... I missed the cut off time. I got around 9.81 and you can have the filed if you want it.

Timpsi

The last track and the results from the previous one will be delayed till next week thanks to a server bug, a laptop that goes wild in 320x200 resolution, and a national holiday.

Sorry about this. Bloody annoying.

That just give you more time to improve your time ;)

Timpsi is still around. He just got a lot to do. There is an explanation somewhere in this topic :)

is this competition still going? (it's been more than 2 months)

Tom Henrik
30-08-2005, 01:49 PM
There are prices at stake, so yeah... competition is still going, and people should use the time to get better at their driving. ;)

The last I heard from Timpsi was that he was going to create a couple of extra tracks (in addition to the planned number) to make up for the time this topic has been neglected.

The reason this competition has faded is that a lot of issues appeared in Timpsi's life, so he needs to adjust (plus he had a server breakdown).

Timpsi
31-08-2005, 07:45 AM
Aye, the competition will continue, and now things are looking better again. I've moved three times in the past three months, and it has taken its toll on my access to the internet.

This (or next) week I should *finally* get myself a proper access, and the competition will continue. There's one original track left, and in order to make it more fair, 2 new ones will be added.

Apologies for the problems.

EDIT: Oh, yeah. A new prize option is also coming up: Call of Duty (in a DVD case).

Now it's all up to the ISP and how fast they will manage to get my internet access up.

I think we can safely conclude that this competition is closed until further notice. It been so long since the last run (August!) that Tipsi would be better advised to start a whole new tourny instead of continuing this one.

Hey,

i've been getting game sfrom this sight for about a year or so now, but this is my first time in the forum.

I don't know if i'll reach the deadline for the first track (i haven't downloaded the game yet). I'd like to have a go for the other ones though.
