Xpress Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Unless you AHG the element alone, you can't really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyyyper Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 ^How do you change the precision/filter for a specific element? I believe you could change the filter per segment by how red the rails are, you should check in the help though, cus I'm sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlover420 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 A few more AHG questions... -What is the standard heartline for an X-car coaster? -How do I make sure the banking on the first/last segment of track is 0*? (I color it black, but the track still banks...GRR) There really is no way to make it 0 degrees. Increasing filter and precision numbers messes up the rest of your element, and I really don't like doing that. My solution is to go back and forth between the original track file and the AHG'd file and bank the original in the reverse direction incrementally until the AHG'd file is at 0. That way, you don't have to sacrifice filter or precision for the banking at the ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollerboy Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I have taken some screenshots but when I go into the C:\ drive, program files, NL, screenshots it says the folder is empty... Is there anywhere else they could have saved? Your help is much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freefallbestrideever Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 ^ Just a guess, try My Documents, make sure to show hidden files and folders in Windows, sometimes when i can't find something it's in the AppData folder or somewhere around there......

Xpress Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 My guess is you probably have a windows Vista virus installed on your pc. Try opening your pc up, pouring gasoline inside, and proceeding to light on fire. That will fix the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 OK, I'm having a problem with my NLDC account, I can create projects, but when I edit them and go to save I get an error message. 'Sorry, this project does not exist.' Is anyone else getting this problem or is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BkkMan13 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Does anyone here know of any programs I can use to make custome scenery for No Limits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyweird Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 ^Object Creator, 3ds max, Anim8tor, sketch-up, etc. Essentially any 3d editor that can save stuff as 3ds files will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freefall-nlc Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 The OC is the easiest one to start. You can copy and paste your "brushes" in the unregistered version. Merge objects ... to an larger project and it´s very simple to work with textures. With a little bit of practise - you can get a very fast tool - to customize =D Anim8or: sometimes it´s very difficult to use texture and set the real Units. sketch up: A very nice Program, it´s freeware - but you can´t export a model to 3ds (wich nl works with). The object creator is the right way to start with some scenery, i think so have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFMMMan17 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Wings 3D is also an amazing program. Its better than anything out there. No doubt. And it's completely free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFMMMan17 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 ^I'll be honest, it's one of the more difficult programs out there, but once you learn it, you'll be glad you did! Check out the website. www.wings3d.com Check out the gallery while you're there, too. There's some pretty amazing stuff people have made! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyyyper Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Can someone give me any tips on how to make a good Zero_G-Roll for a B&M invert? look into picture of real zeroGrolls and look at how other people make them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Smith Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 To all three of you... I have made one using elementary, but when I try to AHG the track as a whole, I messes up only this element. So I guess I answered my own question sorta... I am still having problems regardless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyweird Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 ^There's an Elementary formula out there that allows you to make mathematically perfect, very twisted elements, including zero-g rolls: REDUNZELIZER'S FORCE VECTOR DESIGN EFORMULA!!! This (stupidly long) formula allows you to define elements in terms of forces and time. It's very difficult to master, but once you do, you'll be able to make stuff like this... b_r_FVD-v11.zip Redunzelizer's Force Vector Design eFormula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Rodder Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I hope no one tried asking this. If so, I"m sorry for a repeat question. For those who are getting more comfortable with NL... About VERTICIES ("vertexes").. I see a lot of models who crunch them together extremely tightly.. I'd assume chopping their sections into many then smoothing them out or something. (Take the booster bike model or the X car model) Is it "more is better" and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyyyper Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 There is no rule that says "the more vertices, the better". In this case, those tracks were banked with the Automatic Heartline Generator. That program calculates the vertical and lateral forces on how many points you'd like. The output is a track with a lot of nodes, with perfect banking to eliminate lateral-G's.

ManiacMani Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Iv made a duplicate of TTD, and i wanted to so that more than 1 train could be dispached at once, but when i created a second station. I lost control of my first one, even on manual control i have no power over it. Is there any way to make it so they mimic eachother? So when i press F9 or 10 they both open or close there restraints/gates? >> or is there a way i can switch which station i have control over?
