General THPS(X) / THUGPro update suggestions/discussion

« on: October 08, 2016, 04:59:21 am »

Hello community!

Here's a topic for suggesting and discussing everything you can think of about what should or could be in future THUGPro updates.
Not all ideas have to be realistic, just suggest whatever you like. Maybe in some months/years it can become reality (but obviously don't count on it)

I heard people speculate next update being spring 2017, containing a lot of re-written code to fix crashes and stability issues, as well as a new THAW level.

My hopes for new updates, are mostly things I've already suggested, but I can summarize:
-New levels (obviously), and, I would love to be able to play the THPS2x levels, never played those. (might get an xbox emu+rom someday)
-Obviously stability issues being fixed, I'm glad the devs/mods are working on it.

-New/enhanced gamemodes, for example:
-Scav with seperate timers+choose how many objects (RN it's always 5 per person)
-Gap attack
-Firefight with powerups, kinda like Mario Kart battle mode
-Some other types people have suggested, like god graff, hide&seek, control zone, tag, etc.

-Achievements! Recently made a topic about them and I'm loving everyone's ideas.
-Ranked play (it's suggested, if you go online it shows ranked:no)
-More CaP/CaS/textures/graphics things. Possibly even fan-submitted content.
-Create a graphic (I believe this was in UG2/AW, so why not THUGPro?)

Obviously some of my ideas could be hard and time-consuming to program, and I'm not specifically hoping for anything (other than crash fixes), these are just my suggestions and I would like to know what others think.

PS: Since updates are so much spoken of, there might be another topic about this, couldn't find it. Sorry if this is essentially a doubled topic now.

Questions & Tutorials / Quick clan question

« on: October 03, 2016, 05:07:46 pm »

I've noticed quite some people use clan tags, and so do I. My question is, why do people wear them at the back? From other games like Mario Kart Wii I'm used to tags being at the front?

Can anyone explain? Does it even matter?

General THPS(X) / Special tricks topic!

« on: September 26, 2016, 04:11:40 pm »

I have noticed that some special tricks behave different than others.
For example, the Hot Rod special manual gives you extra speed.

Is this considered cheaty/cheap? Which special tricks are the ''best''?

Talk about your special tricks here, which ones you use and which ones you like best.
I really like Indy 900 because it gives an incredible amount of points, I also like Semi flip because it has a short animation.

Site Suggestions / Just 1 forum. Better idea?

« on: September 26, 2016, 03:41:02 pm »

As a fan of THUGPro, I have noticed there's a few forums about Tony Hawk games. For example this, thmods, phun, and maybe even more.

I have a suggestion, which is to redirect people to just one forum. I don't mind which forum it is, as long as it's just one.

My reasoning, is that most people, including myself, are too lazy to register and be active on multiple forums about the same thing.
My theory is that this could cause spread. Some people will join phun, some will join this, etc. Not everyone will join all.

I think if all of the TH community should focus on one forum. I think it could be helpful in growing the community and having the community be more clear and easy to understand.

Please let me know what you think.

Questions & Tutorials / THUGPRO install tutorial by Chatter.

« on: September 24, 2016, 11:22:31 am »

Hello community, guests, and whoever might be interested in THUGPro!

I have made a tutorial on how to get THUGPro on Windows 7/8/10, because the other tutorials were uploaded about a year ago, and I am using a bit of a different way to do it.
I hope this can help some newcomers out in getting the great online game that the community here loves.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNTx629jWZI

Feel free to show this to anyone who might want the game, feel free to respond here or comment on YouTube, and tell me what you think!

Note: This is my first tutorial video I've ever made, so it might feel a bit awkward and off, I tried my best, and I hope it is good enough.

(edit: sorry the quality is on the poor side, I had to reduce the filesize with format factory, since rendering it on Vegas made it 33GB big.. (that would take forever to upload) ).

Questions & Tutorials / THUGPRO Racing mod?

« on: September 24, 2016, 08:47:51 am »

Hello community! I am wondering if there is some sort of racing HUD mod for THUGPro?

What I mean is:
-A timer
-A Lap counter
-A trigger (going on a certain object/line in the park triggers the lap counter/timer)
-Positions (1st, 2nd, etc.)

Does something like this exist? Is it possible to make?
Me and a friend want to use it in CaP, it could also work on maps like Downhill Jam from THPS1.

I have no experience with modding or programming/editing myself, so I wouldn't know how easy/realistic this would be to make, but if anyone knows about a mod like this, or is even able to make one, please let me know!

General THPS(X) / Favourite TH Youtuber?

« on: September 24, 2016, 05:10:33 am »

Hey community, I'm wondering, do you watch any THPS players/commentators on YouTube? If so, who are/is your favourite? What video's do you like best and why?

I am fond of Icebears4ever (although he quit THPS now, I think). He is very skilled and entertaining, he does commentaries on a lot of Skateboarding games, mostly TH series. He has made some interesting video's like his timeline video (how all TH games are connected)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGewUE4Zbds

He also made a documentary on the TH series as a whole, which is really well made IMO.

Let me know what you guys think!

General THPS(X) / Gamemode Ideas/Gamemode Topic

« on: September 15, 2016, 11:37:09 am »

Hey community!

We all know the gamemodes currently in THUGPro, but here's the list
Trick Attack
Scavenger Hunt
Elimiskate
Score Challenge
Combo Mambo
Slap
King of the Hill
Graffiti
Goal Attack
Capture the Flag
Firefight.

There's also HORSE, but I don't think you can play it in THUGPro (yet)

If you have a cool idea for a new gametype/modified gametype, let out all your creative fantasies in this topic!

My idea would be a game similar to Battle Mode in Mario Kart, were you grab certain powerups to beat your opponents, it could work a bit like Firefight with power-ups throughout the map. I know it isn't very TH like, but it would be interesting to me, because of how you can manouver the maps, and the maps itself are quite different from regular ''battle'' games.

I think too many gamemodes focus on getting high ass combo's, even though I know that's the main focus of the game. I love ''different'' games, like KoTH or Scavenger hunt, and I wish there was more like it.

(ps if a topic like this already exists, show me it, and this can be removed, I admit I didn't check for a similar topic)

General THPS(X) / This or That?

« on: September 14, 2016, 07:10:31 am »

Hi! Sorry in advance if this topic is pointless, but I think it's a fun little forum minigame we can do.

It's very easy, one person names a choice. For example: Airshuffle or Buttslap?

Then the next person answers, for example: Buttslap, then creates another this or that.

PS feel free to delete this if it's too pointless, I wouldn't mind much.

I'll start:

Pro Skater series or Underground series?

General THPS(X) / The Controller topic.

« on: September 13, 2016, 09:14:53 am »

Hey community!

I wonder what kind of controllers you guys have played TH games with, what your favourite is and if there's any you don't like?
If you remapped buttons or edited keyboard controls, tell us about it! With what controls do you play your TH games?

I played with: N64, GC, Keyboard, PS2 and PS3 controllers.

I like all, but I defenitely enjoy GC most. It's what I used to play with all the time, all 5 TH games on the system (and some non TH games of course).
What I ESPECIALLY like about the GC controller is the control stick, the 8 direction caved plastic. This made it really easy for me to nail specials, frontflips and rolls, for example. on PS controllers it is hard for me with the control stick, so I use it's D-Pad.

The GC controller also felt really smooth for me, fits my hands really well, and I actually like the unusual face button layout.

I never expected keyboard controls to be great for TH games, but surprisingly, I could get used to them pretty well, and they felt pretty natural and controllable, although I still prefer controllers.

Nowadays I play ThugPRO with my PS3 controller, using the D-Pad to control rather than the analog stick.

General THPS(X) / What games do you own? (and favourite?)

« on: September 12, 2016, 02:11:43 pm »

Hey community!

I would like to hear what TH games you all own, and which is your favourite. Feel free to add personal stories, maybe you got your first TH game as a christmas gift and it changed your life, tell us about it!

I own:
THPS2 (n64) First TH I ever played, usually played it with my older brother when I was really young, like 10-12 years ago, it was one of my favourite games and I loved skateboarding ever since (although I suck at IRL skateboarding, I can only ollie and shuv)

Thps3,4,ug1,ug2,AW (GC) I first got a Gamecube for Mario Kart, (this was 2010/11ish) along with TH it's my favourite game series, and it was really cool for me, I managed to pick up all 5 TH games released for it for like 4 euro each, and I enjoyed every single one of them a lot. I played them in order from old to newer, so I experienced new mechanics everytime.

THP8 (PS2). This one is kinda special for me. I had a PS2 that I didn't play much, but I did want a TH game for it, I always heard the newer ones weren't as good, and this is my experience with that.
I did actually enjoy THP8 a lot, but I defenitely saw why it wasn't as good as previous titles and I never got THPG.

My favourite game has to be UG1. It was such a breaktrough for the series, so many new things were introduced and it defenitely felt more personal. Story was good, customization was amazing (thats what I loved most) and the walking mechanics were interesting as well.

Now lets hear it from you guys!

Questions & Tutorials / Park creating contest?

« on: September 09, 2016, 11:30:13 am »

Hello THPS community! What would you think of a park creating contest? Where we have a few hosts/judges of the tournament, who will assign a certain theme for a park, a given time, and possibly additional rules.

It could be a cool boost for creativity and bring us together as a community in more ways, it could also be cool for people who can't play well, but still like editing and creating. I don't think I should host this, since I'm not very organised or good at these things, but I would defenitely participate!

Contestants could show their park through screenshots or video, and maybe even do amazing combo's in the parks.

Maybe the winner can get the CaP shared somewhere, that could be a cool prize.

If anyone thinks this a good idea and could host, that would be very cool! Leave suggestions/feedback here if you want.
