Want to make Torn racing just a bit more interesting?

 

Not someone who just clicks and leaves to get the merits and stats, but someone who actually likes seeing the race progress?

 

Well here it is,

 

TORN CITY RACE COMMENTARY

 

Add realtime commentary on your races in Torn City.

 

Install into TamperMonkey https://www.tampermonkey.net/

Plug in shows exactly what is happening on the track and in the race.

I put it together as I seriously like the racing aspect of Torn, but it lacked a little pizzazz.

 

No idea if it works on PDA.

It works on PDA - thanks WeHaveWays.

 

See you on the tracks!

 

Any questions, comments, just post below.

It's now got:

  • extra statuses (for Hospital, Flying etc)
  • various join scenarios (Race Full, Incorrect Car etc)
  • commentary for the sections of the racing page
  • more ambient messages
  • more player specific race messages

Updated:

  • Added more ambient commentary
  • Issue 'massaged' where if a racer crashes it wasn't shown in commentary - this is HARD to debug, only happens once in a blue moon
  • Some commentary wasn't appearing at the end of a race, logic shifted to accommodate this.

Installed this today and gave it a go, quite enjoyed that while the F1 was on the TV in the background. 

 

Neeeeowwwwwm

Dev. Update:

 

  • I'm working on adding groups of commentary and ambient messages, based on the number of racers on the track. So a packed 100 racer race will differ in feel to a 1 v 1 two player race.
  • Also, more ambient message and commentary based around the description for each track, so track specific.
Sanxion [2987640]

Update:

  • Removed 'fix' button as was useless
  • Buckets ambience and commentary messages to reflect number of racers
  • Smarter when using track description in ambience and commentary messages
  • Refactored how memory is used to reduce usage.

Various Updates:

  • Detects being IN JAIL and comments as such
  • Commentary for laptime (various flavours)
  • Commentary for average laptime (various flavours)
Sanxion [2987640]

Update (based on feedback):

  • Refactored throttling messages on races using number of racers greater than 45 to a slide bar. LESS <-> ALL. So scaled throttling from just messages related to the player across to all commentary. (the latter kanes the commentary window and is impossible to read in a 100 racer race)
