Looks cool man. You outta finish it.

What did you do to the track ties?

^apparently he made them dissapear. he's magic lol

looks good. But does it ride smoothly?

I knew it's possible to do it! I lazily experimented many times before and never achieved. Really cool.

You used to be able to do that by making 5' transport sections over the whole ride, with the acceleration off, but that killed FPS. They changed that for a recent update. I too would like to know how you did it now, as I have 2 Intamin woodie tracks that would benifit from the technique. That said, you did all the work to figure it out...so I wouldn't be offended if you didn't want to tell.

I was trying to make an Intamin PreFab rail texture in the environment editor, but I need some kind of texture outline.

If anyone has a texture outline for the rails in no limits, or the game's texture itself, please send it to me. I would love to see this with a PreFab texture for the rails.

Tell us, how did you do that to the ties?

w00t! I figured it out...

Whoever has the time to do it for a whole track, though, has some serious issues. In order to do it while maintaining normal gravitational speed would take 3 or 4 settings adjustments on every single segment, when each segment is only about a foot-and-a-half long. Pretty ridiculous... after doing the math, if you did this for a whole coaster, it would take something like 7 hours, and that's only if you can make a complete segment adjustment every 10 seconds.

F Dat.

Highlight the whole track then do it?

Can't you just use a transparent texture for the ties?

^Just tried that, and the NL Sim crashed every time it tried to load a wood track.

Yeah, but the ties still show up as a solid texture.

Does the same problem arise with each of the several types of transparent textures compatible with NL, cjd?

Transparency has always worked fine on my coasters' object files, just not when I tried to make the supports transparent. It looked like it was trying to load the supports, and then after about 30 seconds of trying to load, NL crashed. And I was using TGA, which was the same type used on the transparent objects, so I highly doubt it was the file type.

Always worth an attempt with .png

No offense, but it's only a drop? Nice showing off of the ties though.

Maybe I missed something, but I'm pretty sure the point was to show the ties...

^^ Ok, no sh!t it's a drop. the point was to show off what he did with the ties.

You beat me dcs, lol.

So how did you do it Kyle?

[Brtnboarder495]

Granted he achieved it, but isn't laying out how he did it, this is pretty pointless still.

I now know it's possible, whereas I thought it was only possible before one of the recent updates. Therefore, if I want to figure it out, I can experiment like cjd did. Please stop trolling.

I tried with a Transparent .PNG, on a white track, it was just white and textureless

Trolling is showing teaser pics and then not providing additional information.

Care to share Sloane?
