Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
well for a simple networked, 'static' object, the 'breakfence' (deathrace starting gate) object is a nice simple base.. (its in the vehicles/trigger folder)
