Map code for sharing! And more!

Joined: 2007-12-06

What about a code for the maps?
Ex.: Add at the top of the creator screen a bar with all tools, but also some new options. Like where you can get the Map Code! With this code you can share your map with other Lineriders. So if they want the same map, they can just copy the code. Way more easier than replicating the whole map.. Wich costs a lot of time.

----------
Maybe background colors are nice too Laughing out loud So you can choose ur own color, maybe even upload a picture! This will give your map a nice pimp and gives it a theme. (Picture can also be standart theme options, like a snow theme, mountain theme etc..)

----------
Some objects would be nice too, like trees. You can place these things into your map for improving it's look.

----------
And what about costumizing your own linerider? Like outfits you can choose out.

----------
And what about a timer? With this, you can see how long your ride is.

Anyways,, I'm new and I dont know what's already suggested. So please dont be mad if these things are already suggested Sticking out tongue

It's not very hard when you've done it many times before, and already know exactly what to do, but I see how it would be a lot easier for new(ish) line rider users to do. What you've suggested sounds exactly like what free rider have done - which works fairly well.
I'm sure they've already considered this idea, and many others, so let's just see what happens in the next game versions!

Colors have alraedy been considered a lot - look at the TechDawg's advanture video. I'm not too sure if/how custom images would work. Especially if you combine that idea with sending tracks to friends with a copy+pasting random letters thing.
Standard pictures are not a good idea, because then everyone's tracks would end up scened in the same way...that would get very boring to watch.

Same as above. We don't want all the tracks looking the same.

I know there is some sort of plan to let you choose your own rider (e.g. the female line rider at the bottom of this page) but I don't know exactly how it will work yet. I guess we'll find out in a few months! Sticking out tongue

It's not really needed, but I guess it could be interesting... Maybe.

Well....uploading a picture to your track will kind of take out the fun of linerider. But its always nice to see people coming up with new ideas for linerider. Keep up the good ideas! New Winking Icon

When is the next version coming out? A Beta 3 would be nice but doubt they will revert to flash. Anyway, they should make a Silverlight v2.0 with all those bugs fixed.
