2005 Match-up Contest (Round 1) - RESULTS pg22

Intamin fan has just said my thoughts exactly. It is there own fault, so why should the rules be changed so they can upload another track? Contests are too make the best ride you can to beat the opposition, not to make a track that will just win.

I posted the topic about the potential change in rules on Sunday, so its not like you all weren't warned. Your odds of getting to the next round are still the same, actually. Both systems would have generated a 16-person bracket for round 2. There will be no second submissions. You were given fair warning, and I can't allow 2 submissions just for 2 or 3 people that weren't paying attention. It would not be fair for the other competitiors.

Can someone else construct our tunnels for us? I would if I could, but I am on a mac, and I have no ability to use tools to make them. They will be very basic, and with out them, I doubt that I will be able to compete.

Dude, if you think some stupid 3ds tunnel is going to be the determining factor in wether or not you advance, you're well, frankly an idiot.

Just let the track run through the ground, and I will know what you were going for. 3ds scores a small bonus, but the adrenaline and technical scores will be completely the same as a coaster that uses a 3ds tunnel.

Hmm i am supporting the first inversion at the moment. It is taking me a while to complete the supports with all the other stuff for school im doing. Hopefully i will have completed the tommorrow but im not sure if i will have. This mean i ont have enough time for all the extras i wanted to do i dont think, but i will try.

Ok CJD, that is the only reason why I wanted 3ds in the first place, I thought it would be deducted anyway. Still... Can someone else make my tunnels? You never answered that...

As long as you give the member credit for the 3ds work, sure. No sharing the trackwork, though. Just 3ds for those with Macs.

Hey cjd, is it okay if we change the terrain texture?

Nope. Changing the texture counts as modifying it.

ok

this is along the same lines, but can i change from the terrain you gave us, to a different terrain with the same name? you know, for track packger purposes.

Huh? What are you talking about? Please explain what you mean.

I guess he means the file name.

Yay, ive just finished supporting finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [:D] Its taken ages. I havent had time to flange the supports myself, so it looks like im gonna have to use the auto flanger! [V] Unless i just leave them unflanged. Hows every one else doing???

I spent a the whole week on this. REad the description on the track exchange for info, I'm way to lazy to copy and paste it. Lol! See ya![dorkhat]

now, i know this may sound *VERY* stupid, but what does flange mean??

yeah, what tyler said, change the name of the terrain, even though it is the same terrain.

to answer krazyt's question, to flange something is to add a "bump" or thicker node to it. in nl, it usual refers to the supports, like this example from Real's Rouge Wave:



speaking of supports, I just finished mine, so I'm getting closer to being finished!

Flanges are the parts of the supports that are used to connect them in real life. They are used in NL for realism.

I still don't understand what you mean by "change the name of the terrain"... If you mean renaming the ground texture file, then yes.

i know its my fault that i submitted early, but i think i would have waited longer or really kept examining it. i couldnt find anything else wrong with it when i submit it, nor do i have any plans on changing it around. i'm happy with how it is, BUT for those people who didn;t take the time and effort to make a very good ride, i think its unfair because at first they were going against 2 people, and that just shot up to however many people are signed up.

I'll say it again, you now have an even better chance, statistically, of moving into the round of 16, because in going up against 2 other people, you would've had a 33% chance, and now you have a 36% chance of advancing. It'll actually be much better than that, because surely not everyone will submit a track.

Umm, Mcfly, You now have a 50% chance, I am going to Mexico tommorow, and I didnt have time to finish supports, this will be my last post for a week, so good luck to ya and all other competitors!

Well, just finished my ride. I'll upload it right after midnight.

11 tracks submitted, 1 contestant dropped, 32 not submitted. 4 days left to build. Keep working, everyone.
