Phyter Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 The standard v. pro comparison can be found here. nolimitscoaster.de/index.php?page=news&newsentry=20131216170711#news20131216170711.
Jon Sabo Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I am really looking forward to this when it is released. If it doesn't happen at the end of the year, I am ok with that. I am sure the NL team wants to ensure that all the bugs or any issues are fixed and I thank them for the effort and time they put into this new version!
Guest Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Contains the standard license every roller coaster types, or the pro version offers more roller coaster types than the Standard license ?
Phyter Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 The standard license comes with the exact same coaster types as the Pro license. We're not going to force you into a $99 purchase just to play the game. The Pro version has additional media features and is primarily for entities and individuals that need the extended commercial use license because they plan to do advertising with media generated within NoLimits.
ride_op Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 It's also worth reiterating that both the Standard and Pro versions contain the same editor tools. Owners of the Pro version will not have any advantages toward making "better" parks and coasters. Â -Ride_Op
Moose Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 ^ Thank you for that. It seems a lot of companies make two versions with a feature most want to use only in the more expensive version. The pro version here seems like it has great stuff in it, but probably features that will not be missed by most non-professional users.
Tanks4me05 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Will there be any clearance detection warnings to automatically detect track, train, terrain, support or scenery collisions, or do we still have to stick with the old tunnel test?
ride_op Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 We are building custom clearance envelope frames that will attach to each train using a custom script. All you have to do is add the script object next to the train you want the frame on and it will attach the correct clearance envelope frame for the train at hand. That will make it much easier to detect hits than using the tunnel test! It will not detect collisions for you though. Â -Ride_Op
Mr Stratosphere Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Patience is a virtue, cannot wait for the new release!
Tanks4me05 Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 The current max template size IIRC is 440 m x 440 m wide, and 150 m high and the max launch speed was 200 km/hr for NL1.X. What are the max values in NL2?
Phyter Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Work Area: 1536 x 1536 x 500 meters 5039 x 5039 x 1640 feet  Launch: 252 kph 156 mph  I'm rounding.
ride_op Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 The build area in NoLimits 2 is nearly a full square mile and is around 1600 feet high. The maximum launch speed is higher than the fastest real life coaster. You can build Formula Rossa supported entirely by full size Stratosphere towers if you really want to. Â -Ride_Op
thrillseaker92 Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Thats exciting... This means that someone can create a model of the purposed Arrow coaster that was for the Stratosphere.
Tanks4me05 Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 ^Yes, but I'm honestly not that interested in that, because that's just a drop and a fish hook. Polercoasters, on the other hand....
coasterkyle Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 what is the max number of coasters allowed on a map at a time
ride_op Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Not sure, but it's at least 37. We know that because Phyter has a park with all 37 coaster trains lined up so he can compare the textures. Â -Ride_Op
Guest Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Comes a B&M wingcoaster rollercoaster in the next update to the 37 other rollercoaster types or is it already in the new version?
ride_op Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 B&M Wing Riders landed just on the other side of the cut off point for NL2. We have them at the top of our list for a future update. Â -Ride_Op
Mr Stratosphere Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Ride_Op I just want to say thank you for responding to our questions and keeping us in the loop. I think it's totally awesome!
FLIPDUDE Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Yeah, same goes for phyter, it's really great to ahve you guys so readily and nicely answering our questions!
Guest Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Will there be a evelator or a freefall element in NL 2?
Tanks4me05 Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 ^If they don't have it already built in, it's definitely possible as a scripted element. If you're not good at scripting, you can just use someone else's when they make it and upload it; I can assure those will be among the first 3rd party scripted elements that will be uploaded. Â Will I be able to make bodies of water "above sea level"? In NL 1.X, you could only put lakes positioned at the zero height; i.e. Can you fill in any terrain depression with water, regardless of its height above ground?
SFOGdude25 Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) How easily customizable will car textures be in NL2? Will you be able to, for example, change the color of the stripe that runs down the length of the corkscrew coaster train, or color each individual shape on the body of any of the B&M trains without having to go into Paint and design your own texture? Doing this in NL1 is a big hassle. Edited December 20, 2013 by SFOGdude25
A.J. Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 ^If they don't have it already built in, it's definitely possible as a scripted element. If you're not good at scripting, you can just use someone else's when they make it and upload it; I can assure those will be among the first 3rd party scripted elements that will be uploaded. I would also assume that the scripting community of NoLimits 2 will be like the text expression community of After Effects where everyone posts expressions with tutorials and stuff.
