🏁 Quad's Hub Raceway

A racetrack woven right through the H.U.B.: under the station's legs, diving beneath its belly under the great north tower, round the tower's far end and over the dome. Step through the portal (in your car, if you like), ride the walls and ceiling of the light tube, grab power-ups from item boxes, and race your friends with a real start: sign-ups, the grid, red-orange-yellow-green lights and places on your screen.

✨ Features

The track

• Through the hub, not beside it. 3 km a lap: the start straight runs under the station's legs, the road sweeps down past the west wing and dives under the station's belly beneath the north tower and its thrusters, climbs round the tower's far end under its exhaust, flies over the road you came by, crosses over the dome, and comes home through the light tube.
• The tube. A big rounded tube ringed with chasing lights. Drive into its curved sides and you stick: ride up the walls and right over the ceiling, where two boost pads wait for whoever gets up there.
• The station's own look. Walls, pipes, panels, floor tiles and light strips are the hub's own, so the raceway looks built into it: red-pipe lamp posts and gantry, banked corners, glowing edge lines, kerbs, chevron boards on the sharp corners, and the QUAD'S HUB RACEWAY gantry with its start lights over the painted grid.
• No falling into space for long. Drive off the edge and you're put back on the road where you left it, still in your car.

Getting there

• The portal. It stands by the Navigation Deck, flat on the floor, framed in the hub's red pipe, with a live picture of the start straight in it. Walk through and you land on the paddock; drive through and you and your car land behind the grid (passengers come too).
• The launch deck. An open deck beside the start straight, under the station's legs, with the stars all round. You land on the ARRIVALS ring facing three stations under red archways, glowing stripes leading to each: step on the YOUR CAR pad and your own car appears on the track with you in the driver's seat; the BACK TO THE HUB portal (showing the hub) takes you home; the RACE! pad opens a race. The race board stands at the end of the deck by the start gantry.

Power-ups

• Item boxes. Three rows of spinning boxes across the road. Drive through one for a random power-up; fire it with Q (your throw key). In a race, the further back you are, the better your odds.
• TURBO (and TRIPLE TURBO): a burst of speed and glowing trails. OIL SLICK: splashed behind you; whoever hits it spins out. HOMING ZAP: a glowing orb that chases down the racer ahead. SHOCKWAVE: a ring of lightning you can see spread out, slowing every other driver. STAR SHIELD: speed, spinning rings round your car, and nothing can hit you for a few seconds.
• You see it all. Boxes burst when you grab them, hits flash and ring out, and everyone else sees your turbos, zaps, shockwaves and shield too.
• Boost pads. Glowing arrows on the road (and on the tube's ceiling): drive over them for a free turbo.

Races

• Sign up. Step on the RACE! pad on the launch deck: sign-ups open for 20 seconds, and everyone in the hub sees the call. Anyone who steps on the pad is in (up to 8).
• The start. Everyone signed up is put on their grid slot in their car and held there while the lights go red, orange, yellow... then green: GO!
• Places. Your place, lap and time at the top of your screen, everyone's standings down the side, a finish order, and the results on screen and on the race board.
• Practice. The rest of the time, cross the line for a practice lap: the timer shows your last and best laps, and your best is kept between games.

👥 Multiplayer

Who needs it: Everyone who wants to drive the track. Each player's game builds the track itself, so a player without the mod sees no track (and your car driving on nothing). Races and power-ups that reach other players go through the host, so the host needs it for those.

⚙️ Settings

In BepInEx\config\quadslab.mycopunk.hubraceway.cfg, made the first time the game runs with the mod. r2modman and Gale edit it under Config editor.

Raceway

• PortalPosition: where the portal stands in the hub, as x, y, z, facing (facing in degrees: the way you walk through it). Empty (the default): by the Navigation Deck. It shrinks to fit under a low ceiling.
• RaceLaps (default 3): how many laps a race is, when you're the host.

Debug

• TestFiles (default off): for testing, files in the BepInEx folder act in the hub: hubraceway-go.txt takes you to the track, hubraceway-back.txt back to the portal, hubraceway-car.txt brings your car, hubraceway-portal.txt moves the portal in front of where you stand (and saves it as PortalPosition), and hubraceway-photo.txt takes pictures without the HUD (lines of name x y z yaw pitch [fov], saved in BepInEx\hubraceway-photos).

Your best practice lap is in BepInEx\config\quadslab.mycopunk.hubraceway.times.txt.
