2006 NL Tournament (Round 1) - RESULTS pg 58

Aw shuck. I found one negative g-spike that I have to fix. And my ending was perfect! Ohwell, I'll just have to make it better. Can't wait to see some of your entries.

I couldn't really do much for an ending other that 3 hills with -1g. I would have had to have at least 2 more hills to make it back to the station area where I could have had a helix or somehting, and by that time I would have lost so much speed it would just be pointless. So I decided to go straight into the brake run after the 3rd hill, with a bit more airtime on the pullup to the brake.

Is it ok to replace the boundaries with 3ds?

Rather than 2+ trains with 7 cars each, could we have 3 trains with 5 or 6 cars each if it runs smoothly? This would maintain a similar capacity but allow for a more interesting layout due to more realistic friction.

I may be rushing it, as I am half done with the track already, but I am testing a new pump solution. It is relatively easy to make the track this way, so therefore I can make the track quickly. I don't use AHG or Elementary, as they were FAR too confusing.[?]

The ending of mine is really messed up...really boring.

My track is completely done. I think it turned out quite well, considering I've NL for almost 5 months.

For the ending strip (the diagonol) I have 4 hills, hitting -1.2 -1.4 -0.8 and -0.8, with turns in between hill 2 and hill 3. I would show a screen, but I don't wanna give away that much stuff. Even though its the qualifiers. Maybe a few nldc screens then...you'll have to find them your self.

Supports are gunna suck!

my supports are going to be fun, ive got the possibility for a head chopper everywhere! [:D][8D]

Im not going to give away much about mine, but the smallest hill is 2 meters tall, and gives -1.4 air time. Just some stats for ya!

It hasn't even been one day yet and some of you have a full layout? Damn. I have just barely up to the MCBR and need some serious revising. I probably won't have a full layout until Friday.

Also, this may just be a little pet peeve of mine, but, if all you have to say is "lol", please refrain from wasting bandwidth, my time, and the time of everybody else. This is a forum. Not a chat room.

ish, answering your question, yes you can use objects from the park pack. I said that scenery could go anywhere except the clearance zone in the road area.

Can supports go in between the pink lines in the road?

^Answered already if you were paying attention.

you guys are lucky to atleast have sumthin done i only have a lift.

yeah, but can we replace the boundaries with scenery?

I wouldn't really say lucky. Either they have a lot of time to devote to coaster making or they just have a really low standard for quality.

Yeh I'm not past my lift and first hill either. I figure since I have two weeks I'll take my time, maybe finish the track by the end of this week.

we've had time [8D] jakizle and i stayed up till 4 am EST making it, and then all day today. [:D]

Im going to do track work the first 6 days, supports for 6 days, 3D's and editing for the next 2 days. Thats my plan, and the first drop on my coaster swivels to the left and right, making a vertical S bend. Its a good idea, lots of airtime and thrill, if you wanna use the idea, go ahead.

I've been working on it a lot aleady so i have done the track work![:D]

And since i've only had NL for about 2 months or so, im happy with it.

Yeah Ragan and I were talking and building until 4 in the morning. Then I built from about 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Thats 11.5 hours of track! Tomorrow will be terrain opposite road, then Tuesday through Friday will be supports. The next week will be theming, 3d's, logos, cartextures, screen shot, all the good stuff. Still can't wait to see some other designs!

Well i just finished my science progect (a working coaster!!! pics will be posted this week) so i can do more now.
