paulie123 Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Hey guys. I was told by someone on the forums you have to make custom rides on NL yourself. They didn't really tell me how.. Â Can someone give me some help or a site that will help me ? Id love to add them to my coasters/park or whatever. Thanks everyone.

They aren't just going to *magically* make themselves. That's how all of us got good. We basically followed the build in tutorial (go to the Help tab ), or whatever, and went from there  Also, with NL, you're limited to one coaster per file. There's no exporting feature, or whatever, so you cannot add them ot your RCT parks or whatever.
paulie123 Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Well I played around with NL this afternoon and got this Frisbee half completed. What do yous think? Â Â Still needs work on the car & some decks. But yeah. Comments?
DBru Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 ^Very cool! I've never seen someone try to create a custom ride with just supports...
Eric_Smith Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Can someone please tell me how to AHG a B&M Invert Zerg-G-Roll? This process is kicking my butt...
lacrosse14 Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Can someone please tell me or show me how to make custom supports?
Eric_Smith Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 ^AHG it just as you would an airtime hill. Â Then I get this... I still can't get it correct...
hyyyper Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 1. Create a hill that has 0 vertical G's in the middle of the train on the top of the hill. 2. Divide the hill into 6 segments. 1=pull up, 2=start twisting, 3=first half of top, 4=second half of top, 5= ending twisting, 6 = pull out. I usually make sure 2 and 3 combined have the same lenght as 1. 3. Bank the track so it forms a spin. 4. Make segment 3 pure green and 4 pure red, leave the rest white 5. AHG, it should work now.

dr.gumbo Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Go back to what you did before, but instead make the top of the roll 181 degree's rather than 180.

dr.gumbo Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 ^ Did you give the ride a heartline (it seems you put it at 0)?
dr.gumbo Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Okay, I'm lost. Obviously it isn't heart lining the track but I have no idea why. Could you put up a picture of before AHG as well as the one above?
Eric_Smith Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 So I have figured it out somewhat but I still can't make it look like a signature B&M G-Roll. I Changed precision from 6 down to 4 and it heartlines it. Now I just need to make it a tighter roll and not so drawn out.
Xpress Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Hint hint: Color codes are always best! Â Also, use less segments man. You're overkill there, and don't need soo many unless you're tooling it up.
coasterlover420 Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 You need to consider that it's not the AHG's fault per say. Very often, the problem is the shape of the track. I just drew up this basic idea of what a B&M roll would be shaped like in order to create the correct effect. Notice the shape of the heartline. It's not very obvious, but the heartline does not form a perfect parabolic arc. With 0g rolls, it is different since the train is rotating all the way through rather than just near the top. It's hard to explain what I mean.
Xpress Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 That's not really entirely the B&M shape. They're more like an exact parabola, with ~40* entrances or so. The inverts though have shallow entrances, and low height zero-g-rolls (a lot, NOT ALL).
coasterlover420 Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 I wasn't demonstrating exactly what a B&M element should look like. I was merely providing visuals for evidence to back up my reasoning. If you would like to create a perfect B&M 0g roll, be my guest.
DBru Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 How do you add an element BEHIND the origin? (I'm building a shuttle coaster, and I can't figure how to insert my AHG'd section of track...)
hyyyper Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Save your track as an element, then insert it behind your AHG'd piece. This does make all of your track 'regular track' so you have to redo the segments and their settings, as well as supports.
MG Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Hey Guys, Does anyone know where to find Elementary. I've been hunting on the web for it and the main site is offline. Any ideas anyone?
