October 2003: I made my very first map for 1nsane, Cliffside (screenies on the right). It's got a decent race circuit, good dz zones, and some areas for roaming.
In January 2004 I released Pit o' Hay (below), a silly little map containing a big pit full of hay bales that you can push around. Also it has a nice circular (but bumpy) race course.
May 2004: 1000 Foot Cliff from a comment by TRW I think on the InsaneHeat message boards. Basically it has a big cliff!

June 2004: Working on a map, trying to make the heightmap with Total Terrain. But unfortunately the bumps all got really big and rough, like low-resolution or low color-depth more appropriately. So I called it Lo-Res. Beta is out.
July 2004: Samedi Island - a place with very rough terrain, so stay on the road! This was designed for a road race that is completeable with almost all cars, but with tricky turns and hills if you're racing at high speed.
July 2004: Canyon Trail - Trail hugging the side of a canyon; be careful or you'll go off the edge! The AI are really stupid on this map; so it's still a beta.
You can download my maps from any of the following quality sites...
Maps I'm thinking about, planning, or working on... Of course school comes first so I probably won't get these done anytime soon :)
- Some sort of mountainous snowy raceway. We need more snowy maps.
- A wooden rollercoaster. Currently it's just a sine-wave :)
- An island map with a lot of bridges perhaps. Who knows!
The new 1nsaneHeat League is up and running.
The old Gamespy name fix...
For simple instructions, download the file from InsaneHeat HERE.
Below are my original somewhat confusing instructions:
It seems adding -userid YOURNAME in the Advanced Options only seems to work when hosting.
Here's a batch file that seems to work for all cases. (Unless I was off in la-la land when I tested it)
I'm not sure whether you need the -userid tag before or after the other arguments, so I just put it in both places :)
- Download it, or copy the text below into your favorite editor (like Notepad) and save as game.bat in your C:\Codemasters\Insane directory, or whatever it is.
Of course, change YOURNAME to your desired in-game nickname. - Then, go to Gamespy-> Options-> Games-> My Games-> Insane and set the program location from Game.exe to your newly created game.bat.
The text of the batch file is as follows:
:rep shift set tempvar=%tempvar% %0 if not "%1"=="" goto rep Game.exe -userid noahd%tempvar% -userid noahd set tempvar=
Here's a list of my current add-on cars/trucks, if you want to race me with non-standard stuff. This list is out of date!!
See you on Gamespy!
