[REL] PARKOUR_BULLRUN
About
This is a mod I created over the course of last night after seeing a screensaver I really liked.
It is a very simple adaptation of the bullrunning events the have in Spain.
The mod was made with the idea of competing in it, as in who can get the farthest without getting trampled by an 800kg bull.

Designing this was really difficult because I wasn't able to use objects stationed on the ground. Some quite insane forces are at play here and when something goes wrong someone is going to end up as beef. Because I dislike to compromise I chose to let the bulls keep their massive power and just design the mod around them.

The sidepaths might be difficult to traverse, which is intended, I set out wanting the bulls to be an actual danger while offering some options to bypass them, if you are skilled enough.


Featuring

128 completely unique objects, 16 moveable
Challenging enviorments
Stuff to get smashed by
Angry bulls!
Fun for parts of the family!

Thanks a lot lads, in my opinion this one doesn't live up to my standards, I am now awfully happy with how it turned out, but is sure is fun to play


Looking forward to your replays
You have too much time on your hands dude. This is brilliant. I do wonder however, Is the gravity supposed to be -9.82? Because that's what it's set to when I launch the mod.

No, it isn't supposed to be like that. I've experienced that issue a few times too in other mods and I have no idea what causes it. If you open the mod in notepad you will see it is set to -30, there is definitely something strange going on with the client here.

What's the weirdest to me is how the game somehow overwrites ONLY the gravity settings while keeping everything else as it should. Perhaps a leftover from when custom gravity wasn't a thing.
I see.

So, the mod is amazingly fun to play around in. I decided to skip trying to take the path over the stampede and instead run against it. Here is my progress so far.

Really like this one. The idea is interesting and allows for a lot of unique gameplay situations. I'm glad to see you experimenting with more unique game mechanics. I want to see someone play through a round in the mod by just running on the backs of the bulls.
The look of the mod is really cool and the choice of colour and and the use of certain objects for details gives it a rather painting like feel. Even the boxlike bulls don't feel out of place in it thanks to some stylistic choices you've made.
If I had to pick a flaw in the mod I'd say it's the separation of the upper and lower path. As it is right now the upper path is just a pretty generic parkour course and the lower path while being a lot more interesting and unique, can probably get bit monotonous after a while.

It would probably be more interesting, if instead of having a complete safe path over the bulls you'd only have small unconnected sections which you could climb on, but always would have descend to the road and make dance with the bulls to get to next one.

But even with all that in mind it's really good work. This kind of interesting ideas and polished look is what I was hoping to see from you when I went on those rants back in the day. Just double down with the idea you have and don't give the players unnecessary leeway. A lot of players choose to play boring if given a chance and will still complain about it.

Also. Spar env with those bulls. Make it happen.
