No Limits Stand-Up Coaster Contest

[CoasterNut17]

POLL IS NOW UP. YOU ARE ALLOWED ONLY 2 VOTES, AND MAY VOTE FOR YOURSELF. I WILL LET THE POLL RUN FOR 1 WEEK, AND THEN WE WILL HAVE THE RESULTS. GOOD LUCK!

 

Hi!

This is my first TPR Nolimits contest, but I'll give it my best shot at running it.

 

The rules are as follows:

-Your coaster has to be a B&M standup in order to be judged.

-It must run 2 trains smoothly.

-You must build it under 5,000 ft long, and it musn't exceed 75mph.

-May use 3d's as long as you post another download with just the coaster also.

-Can use standard Nolimits scenery, and Nolimits software (ex. tunnel maker, object creator, white environment, etc.)

-It can't exceed 180 ft tall.

-All support types are allowed.

-Has to pass the tunnel test, and E-stop test.

 

NOTICE: IF I FIND ANY OF THESE RULES ARE BROKEN WHEN I SEE YOUR COASTER, I CAN AND WILL DISQUALIFY IT, AND IT WILL NOT BE JUDGED.

 

Due date for coasters is Saturday, April 5th.

 

Feel free to post any questions you have about the contest! I will update the list of people who are in the contest as the posts are posted. Winner will receive bragging rights. Good luck!

 

As for judging, after the due date I will run a poll for one week of all the coasters that are in. Please post some screens for your coaster also! Progress pics never hurt, either! Thanks!

 

EDIT: You can use 3d's, as long as you post another download with just the coaster.

Who will this be judged by? You or everybody?

[riccoaster]

Cool I'm in!

[CoasterNut17]

Everybody. I will post a poll after April 5th (due date) so everyone can vote.

 

^Great! I'll add your name to the list!

[DBru]

Me too!

[CoasterNut17]

^Awesome.

[vekoma_fan]

I can give it a try

[EuroTre]

I'll give it a go.

[CoasterNut17]

Seems like we will have a nice group of participants!

[coasterlover420]

In that case, throw me in.

[CoasterNut17]

^Sounds good!

[Vekoma Fan Boy]

I'm in!

 

And also, what do you mean "No 3d's - I don't have the software to view them" you don't need any software. You just need no limits and the texture jpg's. (Usually enclosed in an NLpack file when a coaster has 3Ds objects)

[Force 310]

I'll join, since I happened to be starting one just prior to the competition...

 

Also, adding to the "no 3ds" thing, Object Creator and Tunnel Maker both create .3ds files, and you allowed using them both. So you should probably take that particular regulation out entirely.

 

AHG is fine, I would assume?

Whenever I try to view them, it always says contains scene objects that cannot be found or something. If you want to use 3ds, just make sure you also post one of just the coaster also.

 

^^^AHG is fine, yes.

 

We have got a great list so far!

No, are these tracks from an NLpack, or are they just straight tracks? If they are just straight tracks, your computer doesn't have the objects and therefore cant display them. (And NLpack packages the .3Ds files and textures and puts them, and the track into one file that can be opened with the track packager.)

[jamjar]

let me in PLEASE!

[Tanks4me05]

I would request to join and would very much appreciate it. It's about time someone tries to revitalize the B&M Stand Up - I feel they haven't been brought to their potential.

[CCJared]

Time to fire up the old FVD's I'm in!

Well, I have Nolimits Track Packager, and whenever I open a track file (or NLpack file-I'm not sure) with 3d's it says that. Is there a special way to upload and download things through the Track Packager?

 

Also, there is room for everybody, and I will make more spaces available if needed. Thanks for all the entries so far! This should make for a great contest!

-You must build it under 5,000 ft long, and it musn't exceed 75mph

Meters and Km/h?

[CoasterNut17]

^It would be under 1524 meters, and musn't exceed about 121 kph. Thanks for asking!

[DBru]

Okay, I have a construction update! I have finished the coasters trackwork, and I will begin on the supports sometime soon.

 

I have named the coaster Stasiphobia (fear of standing up), with the tagline of "Stand Up to your Fears".

 

A logo will be released soon!

Completed trackwork!
