Vekoma Fan Boy Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 ^ 1 FPS, wow my iBook kick your computers a$$.My main computer gets to about 25-30 FPS at the lowest, and it's not a serious gaming system. Try and reduce the amount of eye candy and lower resolution to increase FPS. What graphics card do you use? I haven't ridden the coaster (Thank you for the video!) sheerly because I know I will get a framerate of about 2-6 FPS. But either way, from what I saw in the vid, the ride was absolutely flawless!
ArrowHater Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 ^i have a mac the"newer slim version" and i still get around 90-98 FPS
Loefet Posted June 9, 2008 Author Posted June 9, 2008 ^ At what resolution? I run a: AMDX2 4400+ 2GB RAM Geforce 7600GT Running a 1920x1200 monitor at native resolution.
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 ^ At what resolution? I run a: AMDX2 4400+ 2GB RAM Geforce 7600GT Running a 1920x1200 monitor at native resolution. That explains it. You have a dual core processor, double the RAM that I do, and a (very) superior graphics card. It also may have to do with my need to run every setting at maximum on a 1024x768 resolution. But even with my settings turned down, I still don't get good framerates on the steel coasters. Oh well, I've had plans to upgrade this old E-Machine once I get a freaking job. Better graphics card, more RAM (3-4 gigs, if this thing can handle it) and and a GeForce (model: TBD) graphics card.
ArrowHater Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Mine is set to 800x600 And every thing is set on normal and but "Texture detail level" is set to high. i dont know what processor i have. Its a mac; thats all I know. Haha Those commercials are true. They are faster and easier than a pc. Because when I first got it and turned it on. it was all like "Blablabbinggg!" then it just installed everything itself in a matter of seconds then I started playing around with it after-wards.
DBru Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Well it was going to take 26 minutes for me to download it, and I don't know what my FPS are, so I just watched the video...

But running all on high will kill more or less your frame rate if your computer can't handle it. Mine is set to 800x600Well that's the reason. I also get those kind of frame rates on my computer at that resolution.
haydawg149 Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 ^i have a mac the"newer slim version" and i still get around 90-98 FPS wtf! The most I've ever seen is 40. *gasp!*
TheBannedKid Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Yea I get 100 FPS easily with this track. Good job on everything, it's really neat to see complete environments with a coaster. My only complaint is there was too much gray. Just a bit bland.
Angry_Gumball Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Great track, but was I the only one that got a face full of trees? Was this intentional?
ComplexAudio99 Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 ^ You have to make sure you ride it in the track default, which can be changed by pressing esc (while in the simulation) and then going to the environment tab. This ride is so amazing... Everything was taken into detail, especially the surrounding area and the various other rides and attractions. The ride was really smooth, and the queue created a unique way to interact with the caster, and not be as bored. The idea to use elevators was interesting, and really fit the theme of the ride. I especially liked the poster for the ice house... lol. Anyways its the little details that got me really excited about the ride. I mean you took in the transfer track into consideration, and made the queue interesting. You even created a special area, almost like a lounge area where photos of tesla were hung. Every ride not only had a well drawn out queue, but featured unique theming, exit signs, ride op panels, and interacted with the coaster. This is an incredible all-in-one package. I can't wait to see more of your work.
rolercstrluvr Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 no you were not the only one who got a face full of trees. I know I have to change the environment, but to which one?
Loefet Posted June 11, 2008 Author Posted June 11, 2008 ^ Just set it to track default and it should be alright. Thanks goes the the rest of you. And ComplexAudio99 the text on the ice house sign came to me as a spur of the moment, and it cracked me up so I decided to add it to the sign.
DATman Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Great ride, amazing 3D work. My only complaint is that the ride was too short. it left me absolutely dying for more.
Hand 0f Time Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Excellent ride you made. Wasn't to sure about the Station, but I guess it makes it unique.
dr.gumbo Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 ^ Wasn't to sure about the station! That was one of the highlights for me. Well, everyone has their opinions I guess.
Théo the little french Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Unfortunately I could open it with NL or NLpack. I saw the video, and.......... This is FORMIDABLE!!! This is the first time I see such a ride with soo many details! Really impressive! However I hate the name: Tesla! I studied it a few weeks ago in class!
rolercstrluvr Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 the name Tesla reminds me of the fully electric roadster.
Loefet Posted June 18, 2008 Author Posted June 18, 2008 ^^ Tesla is cool, and this is an electrifying ride. Thanks to all of you...
DisconnectTheDots Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I loved all the 3D's in your ride. It made it seem more like a section of an amusement park than just a singular ride. Also, I was wondering how you made or where you found the texture for the smoke/fog 3D's in the ride. On one of my rides for no limits I've wanted to add fog, but couldn't find where to get a fog texture or how to make one. If you could point me in the right direction, that would be great. Thank you and great ride!
Canobie Coaster Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 This is by far the best No Limits coaster, or a coaster from any other game, that I have seen. All of the details are absolutely incredible. Heck, the ride itself would be fun and thrilling even without all the scenery and theming.

Thank you and great ride! I don't know where he got his textures from but you can find good ones all over the internet (try filterforge.com), anything white-ish will do for fog.

Thank you and great ride!I think I used a random grey texture, and just reduced the opacity to a value so that it got a bit see-through. And thanks to all of you.
