dr.gumbo Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 With all these hardcore thrill rides popping up, Happy times theme park has realised it needs something that will appeal to families. Its your job to design them something thrilling but family orientated. Rules are simple: -The track must go under the blue line on the horizontal view. -The track must not leave the pink border. -The track style can be anything you want (open for individuality) -It must stay under 35mph -It must not feature high vertical forces. (below +3.0 and more than -1.0) -It can feature a launch, but it must have an acceleration below 1.0. -It must not feature yellow laterals. -It must pass the tunnel test. -You can use .3ds but you will not be marked for them. The winner will be judged by myself (using a points system) due to problems I've had with voting in the past. I will post a review for everyone's ride along with a position. They will be marked for originality, technicality, suitability and the fun-factor. Its only a small contest so I'll give about a week for people to complete their track. I might extend that later depending on how things are going along. Good luck! Contest.nltrack Template
rollerboy Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 I'm in! Just to let you know, the deadline for my contest is tomorrow (launch coaster). Jordan.
monkeyoverlord71 Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 I'm in! Just to let you know, the deadline for my contest is tomorrow (launch coaster). Jordan. It says the 11th is the deadline on your topic. So are you changing the date? I might give this contest a go, sounds fun
rollerboy Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 ^ What the?! Your completely right! What am I thinking? I thought it was the 10th today, ignore my post above. As for this contest, do we have to keep the trees?
dr.gumbo Posted October 8, 2008 Author Posted October 8, 2008 /\ No but you'll get bonus points if you keep them and interact with them.
Loefet Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Can the station go outside the border in the sim? Or is it just the track that must be inside in the editor? How about the supports? I might give a go on this track, and I got a pretty cool idea as well.
dr.gumbo Posted October 8, 2008 Author Posted October 8, 2008 /\ The station also has to be in the pink area. The supports can leave the area however.
CCJared Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 I'm in, no garentees on a track though.[/tprtv]
Loefet Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 How about tunnel crashes? Same Block crashes OK?
dr.gumbo Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 /\ -It must pass the tunnel test. As for your second question, you will lose technical points if it doesn't pass the E-stop test when I'm judging it.
Loefet Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 ^ Wasn't talking about block break failure, but same block tunnel crashes (sorry if I were a bit unspecific). There are different types of tunnel crashes. 1. Supports and ground are never acceptable. 2. Where tunnels from 2 different blocks crash, which is a no,no. 3. But if the tunnels that crashes are from the same block then it's acceptable if no part of track from one tunnel is inside the other. You don't have to worry about block sections failures since I only have one
dr.gumbo Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 ^ Oh yeah, I'll accept that (this time...sorry CCJared). Now I feel like an idiot.
Loefet Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 ^ Fixed all the tunnel crashes, since I decided to change most of my layout. Anyway, I'm done now, so should we post tracks here or mail/PM to you?
dr.gumbo Posted October 10, 2008 Author Posted October 10, 2008 Just post them here when-ever you want.
Twister II Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 I swore I have seen this same template before...
KPWoCkAxX Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 ^ HEY! I havn't seen you post for a while..... I just want to say, good luck with this competition guys!
monkeyoverlord71 Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Hey! YOU STOLE MY IDEA!!! I'm Halfway through making a spinner for this contest.
rollerboy Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Oh man I didn't know we were competing against Loefet, mines going too look like a heap of scrap metal next to his!
dr.gumbo Posted October 11, 2008 Author Posted October 11, 2008 I swore I have seen this same template before... Its similar to my last contest template if that's what your referring too. Hey! YOU STOLE MY IDEA!!! I'm Halfway through making a spinner for this contest How could he have stolen your idea if you never told it to anybody? Oh man I didn't know we were competing against Loefet, mines going too look like a heap of scrap metal next to his! Don't be put off, give it a try anyway. You never know who's going to win.
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Just wondering, since we get bonus points for keeping the trees, and we are allowed to have supports out of the area, do we get bonus points for keeping supports within the area?
dr.gumbo Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 /\ No unfortunately. Just to inform everyone, you've got until Wednesday to post your ride.
