SkyArrow's NL2 project thread

You should make this ride for your park.

why dont you make it cool5?

I am already making it.

Thanks, I wanted to see that "weird" track at your park!

cool cool5

coolio cool5

[TTD03]

alright lets not copy me.

Time for a distraction from derailment, and something less cool5 reminiscent:

Speaking of derailment...

Workin on a bridge.

Full Throttle and Goliath inspiration. The supports are just placeholder and a color scheme test, and still working on the terrain.

Tentatively called Fire Road. There is at least one element I want to keep secret until POV/release. Is it me or do screens uploaded as attachments come out in lesser quality than the usual way of uploading to imgur?

[TTD03]

^ Attachments should actually be better quality than imgur.
It's the smaller screenshot that the site auto formats it to for better viewing is what kills the quality.
If you click on the pictures though it makes them their full size and full quality.

holy cr*p looks great

.....what's going on in that first pic?

Something similar to Expedition Everest.

Also, if anyone is in the mood to test something:

It's just the Infinity (Insane Octane) and the giga coaster (Pi).

NOTE: they're not going in the same park. It's just for convenience purposes.

I found these tunnel test fails on octane.

Death coaster for the time being.
Stuff like clearance issues that slipped under the radar are probably easy enough to fix.

Yay, attaching NL2 files in the forums works now!

Ideally I would like it to work in PM's too.

[TTD03]

^ That can be fixed.

Can Nl2 packages be sent in PMs and the forums?

[TTD03]

Yes,
As of now, .nl2park and .nl2pkg files can be attached in forum posts and sent in PM's.
Let me or Oscar know if you have any issues with it.

Pi's homestretch interacts with an LIM launch coaster called Divide by Zero. Kinda tracing over the NL1 imported wireframe but not 100% exactly.

Look what I added to the kiddie park, a Butterfly coaster that I downloaded from Steam. Also, I changed my mind about the maze being the only way to the kiddie area. It won't be. The hedgemaze is now its own separate attraction, and there are sometimes races where people have to try to be the first to cross the maze.

I renamed the Sky Coaster to 'Focault's Pendulum' while the Butterfly shall be called 'Oscillator.'

Decided to move Cutie Pi closer to the kiddie play area.

awesome it looks great man it feels like something cool5 would build

Decided to do some more moving around of rides so I could do this:

The drop tower is the Y axis, and the two shuttle train rides are the Z and X axes, roughly corresponding to the NL2 coordinate grid. Where they all meet shall be just in front of the park entrance.

is there a set release date yet?

I usually don't set release dates for non-contest projects of mine ('when it's done' is the best answer I will have) but I'm going to try to release the Math theme park on March 14th (pi day) and from the looks of things I might finish early, and if I come up with any more ideas after that, I can post a revision.

Make sure to release it at 9:26, since it's 2015!
