The link to the object editor has been fixed on the official site.

Honestly, I don't think it is that big of deal really. SM1 already allows you to create most of the styles by adding a new train. The only major style that immediately comes to mind that SM1 can't do is a B&M dive machine, and SM2 will have that one when it's released. SMer asked what I was working ...

It really isn't a matter of being innovative. I just noticed a long time ago that I was duplicating a lot of code per style for no reason. So now instead of spending hours copy/pasting code and changing numbers around in a few places, I can spend five minutes and have a new style up and running.

Right now I'm working on the Style Editor. Yes, that means users will be able to create thier own track styles if they want.

Originally posted by minicoopertx The pics are unfortunate, however, since there are several pics of the back car sitting at an angle... uninformed viewers might not realize that the pics were taken after maintenance propped up the car to examine the undercarriage. They might see them and think the...

I assume you're talking about supports on vertical loops. If so, make sure that the support's track node style is set to 5 and that the track "style" is set to boxed.

It's been resent. I usually try to resend them ASAP although sometimes things like sleep can delay it [:)]

Originally posted by Hyper_Goliath I find that SM's editor is MUCHHH simpler to use, and can still result in technically fabulous tracks. What is lacks are some of the popular tools NL has like AHG and elementary. Yet still, making your own elements is an adventure. For example, fabricating a perfe...

It is entirely possible that it's a bug or something (the sound). All of the systems I have access to have a minimum of 4 speakers w/ sub. SM2 can use other methods besides bezier curves. I must admit that I'm puzzled when people say that SM1's editor isn't as powerful as NL's. Not counting the 3rd ...

Originally posted by coasteragent99 SM 2 is being rebuilt from the ground up, SM 1 is really just too outdated to be worth working on any further. (not just the glitches, the engine and stuff is pretty old and it doesn't even support stereo sound) It would probably be better to just get SM 1 and wa...

Peeps aren't planned. The last thing I want to do is require that users need to know math in order to make smooth rides. That being said, there will most likely be a way to generate elements using math or other methods. Coasteragent - you have it backwards.. NL1.6's water looks somewhat SM2's, altho...

I pretty sure I'm still working on it [:)] There's still alot of work to do though. wws has seen recent pics of the progress.

I respond to every email I recieve regarding lost registration information. The most likely reasons you haven't heard back are because you sent it from an invalid email, have my email blocked (AOL users are bad about this), or you don't have access to the email address used to register the game. In ...

The short answer is that you can't set it back to 0 because it isn't at 0, it's at 180 [:)]

Originally posted by gazag ... also have you ever seen sm used by ride manufacturers to show off here ride designs? Actually, I've turned down quite a few manufacturers, as well as a couple of park chains. There are many reasons for this, but the main ones are that I don't want to be tied down by d...

SM2 won't be out by the end of this year. I'm hoping to have it in Alpha testing (maybe even beta testing) by then, but who knows for sure. Unless a MAJOR problem comes up, there's no way it will take until 2007 to get it completed. I'm working as hard as I can without burning myself out too badly s...

SM2's train options are more flexible so adding a unique last car doesn't add any additional limitations. But for some reason this thread is quickly becoming a general suggestion thread instead instead of scenario suggestions. If you want to make a non-scenario suggestion, please start a new thread ...

There's been alot of good suggestions. Keep 'em coming [:)] Coasterbum - The minimum requirements hopefully will be lower than the first game, not because I've cut back, but because the code in the first game wasn't as fast as it could have been. Of course, I'm also including new stuff that will req...

Or I could do what alot of people are doing and just install OSX x86 on my pc and create universal binaries. Of course, that would be illegal [:)] We'll see what happens once the Intel Macs are released. Anyways... Back to the original topic [:)]

Not anytime soon at least. I don't have anything against Macs besides thier price, which is stopping me from buying one to do the porting and testing with [:)]

Time for some more feedback from webmasters and others who run contests [:)] SM2 allows custom scenarios that have certain limitations built into them. What type of features (limitations) would you like added? Some examples: Can't change land/water height. Can't remove scenery. Force to a specific t...

Like WWS said, it should be back up sometime today.

EDIT: It is back online now [:)]

What program exactly? If you mean the program that allows you to import models, get Object Editor from my website. It's free [:)] If you mean the program in the pics, that version is long gone. It just has a simple interface I made up so we wouldn't have to constantly update the final one whenever w...

I haven't been posting any updates lately (like for months basically). I've explained why on my site. I'd say the game is probably 60% done at this point.

Those pics were just to show that model importing was working since at the time, no coaster sim had the ability to do so. If you look at the pics again, you'll notice that the interface is totally different as well.
