^ There is another element (I can see it.) which is clearly not for a "Batman" Invert.

[TallonD83]

^Correct! we've shown pieces of it before though...

[Paradox]

What is going on with the track lol

[TallonD83]

Light Box Editor created spine to export into a modeling program. Makes getting those foot choppers perfect MUCH easier

[Turbo]

Would people prefer a Free To Use model for the next release or the next texture pack?

Free to use model.

Strawpoll on above question http://www.strawpoll.me/12356112

[TallonD83]

At this point its 4 to 0 in favor of a free to use release. I bow down from the textures then

Can I give you my I'm Sorry coaster for support finishing? I cannot place anymore supports since my editor jams and freezes up when i add any more supports.

[TallonD83]

Sorry cool, but we are working on things to help enhance other's parks, not finish them for them.

Why is this 38,848 foot long coaster freezing up my editor but not Jamp Up Land? Go Figure.

[TallonD83]

because that is a TOOOOOOON of b-spline processing that the editor has to do. probably killed the processes. Not surprising honestly with a 7 and a half mile long coaster...

[Turbo]

^that.

Peak is currently focusing on optimizing all of its current designs and getting them ready for release. So far we have a few models close but unfortunately we cannot take others rides and finish them for you.

Can there be better optimization for B Spline in NL2? How is the current optimization for B Splines? Have the Devs thought about optimizing B Spline any?

[Turbo]

they're already optimized lol. I just don't think they intended for one track to be nearly 8 miles long.

What can i do to reduce the editor freezing? I already set all setting to lowest and made all other tracks hidden except the tunnels. Would hiding all of them them help any with the editor freezing?

[Turbo]

reduce nodes on all supports, cut off beam ends, manage LODs properly. There are a lot of ways I optimize Peak rides

How much better performance will I get from hiding all the rainbow tunnels?

[Turbo]

by deleting them probably a lot

Make that 5-1 lol

Hello fellow Coaster Crazies!

We did honestly take the poll into account, and we do have a free to use item ALMOST ready for release, about 94% ready.

But seeing as we do call ourselves Peak, we won't release it until it is 100% ready...

In the meantime, there WILL be another release this Sunday of Phase II of the texture packs!

Keep looking out for it, and check back next weekend for the next announcement!

^ ... 6% to go! Confirmed!
