kingsdominionlvr Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 ^Yea, that was about the first place I checked, it is like they are not saving to the folder or something. In the simulator, it always says "screenshot saved", then when I go to the screenshot folder, there is nothing. Could be because you don't have a utility like MS paint or Nero to open the pics.I'm always able to find my screens no problem. MS Paint does not work either. What kind of format are the screenshots? Maybe, my computer is not reading it because of the format!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vekoma Fan Boy Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 ^What should I type into the search? I tried searching "screenshots" and "video" and none of the pictures or video came up. A hard drive search doesn't work like a Google search. You need to do a search for all (or part) of the file name. Do a search for a specific track you took a screen shot of. Like, say you took a snap of a coaster who's file name is Wooden1.nltrack, the screen shot .bmp file would be saved as Wooden1[long string of numbers]000x, where x is the number of the screen shot. (Ie. the first screen shot taken of a file is 0000, second is 0001, third is 0002, etc) So try doing a hard drive search for [Track File Name] 0000.bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsdominionlvr Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Unfortunately, all that comes up when I search the name of my coaster is the shortcut to open the coaster in no limits. I think I may contact No Limits help, they normally can fix it. Thank you all for all your help though, I really appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCT3D Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I need a way to export an NL track to a .3ds, is there a way to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 ^Yep, but you need the full (paid) version of the Nolimits Tool Box which unfortunately doesn't exist anymore. I think there may be some users on here who have it and might sort it out for you, if you ask rather nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3D Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 ^Thanks. I made video clips of my ride (that I will post later today), but when I opened Windows Movie Maker and clicked import media files and went into the screenshots folder, nothing was there. So I went to that same folder (not using movie maker) and still nothing was there, but when I clicked the button that says "Compatibility Files", then all of my video files and screenshots showed up. How do I import the screenshots and video clips into Movie Maker? BTW: sorry if this isn't the right spot to post this, I just thought that I should put it here because they are videos and pics from NL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 ^ Just drag and drop them into the Movie Maker window, or alternatively use the import function in the bar on the left hand side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelegendarymatthew Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Can anyone tell me how/where to get custom objects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 ^Download packaged tracks that use 3Ds. After doing this, the objects are available to you in the editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelegendarymatthew Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 but I want to make some specific stuff for a coaster. I highly doubt someone will have the stuff I'm looking for. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 You'd be surprised... The only other way to make scenery is a 3D creator program, which are really hard to figure out. You can try your hand at it in anim8or, though: http://www.anim8or.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 ^Download packaged tracks that use 3Ds. After doing this, the objects are available to you in the editor. That would be Stealing... ^ Apart from Anim8tor, there is (also free): Object Creator (google it...)

DisWiz Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Ok I've got a question for everyone here. I've been using No Limits forever and I remember a few years back (possibly on Coaster Sims) someone posted about how to use NVidia cards to get stereoscopic 3D for NoLimits. Well I've finally upgraded my computer and I can't find that article on instructions on how to get that working. As I just set up the 3D software (this is for red/blue glasses, none of that fancy shutter glasses stuff). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

CoasterComet Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Does anyone know an easier way to color wooden coaster catwalks/handrails? The only way I have figured out how to color the handrails and catwalks specific colors (a color different from the main structure color) is to individually click on them and choose 'individual color' and the color in the little box that pops up. Seems there should be an easier way of doing this, but I can't find it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyyyper Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 You can generate the handrails, catwalks and supports apart from each other in the wooden support generator menu. Just don't forget to tick out the box "remove previous structure" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterComet Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 This helps alot! Thank you. Still playing with the program, I guess I generate all catwalks then highlight them and choose individual color. Then the same with handrails and finally generate structure? Also, do you know what 'Toggle Bounding Box' is and how to use it? Thanks alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterComet Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 While I'm at it, is there a way to change the boundary area? Maybe make it longer, say for a large out and back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 ^Unfortunately no. We are hoping that we will get a larger or resizeable/reshapeable building area in NL2, but there is no word on that that I have heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterComet Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 ^It's too bad. Seems like that would be a quick fix or patch for the program. Makes making a large out and back difficult, having to put it at an angle. I sure hope NL2 takes the time to work all this kinda stuff out. Program flexibility is much more important (to me!) than stuff like being able to walk through a swamp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
