dr.gumbo Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 '4000 years later' was first concieved when I wanted to see if I could create a track which is both reflective of B&M's style yet unique enought to stand on its own. After a few days work on Newton, this is the final result. The supports took a while to do; I spent a good amount of time staring at photo's of B&M's to see how they're supported so I could get them as accurate as possible. As a result, I can honestly say that this is by far my best support work to date. The environment and scenery isn't too extensive, but I didn't think it needed to be because I felt the ride speaks for itself. Special thanks does to my Testers (Xpress, A113, Eric, Turbo, Flickstah and Coasterpimp), CG Textures and to whoever supplied the other bits and bobs I found on Google Images. So without futher ado, press the download button and enjoy. P.S. If you have any problems with the file, please tell so I can sort it out. 4,000 Years Later.nlpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyoverlord71 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Looks awesome. Can't wait for the release. Hope it rides as good as it looks. Any idea of a release date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 ^ Not sure but it shouldn't be too far into the future. It all depends on how much scenery I make for the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDCOASTERFAN Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 So what trains are you using? Floorless,stand up or traditional looping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Thriller Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 This coaster looks awesome. It kind of reminds me of Riddlers Revenge. And the first drop looks similar to Nemesis. I like it. --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Great work. I really like the beginning of the ride and the layout look really tangled, good job! Cant wait to see what you do with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 Thanks for the comments. Just to let you know, I've started work on an environment. I'm going for a jungle-esque environment and so far its looking good. As for the coaster type, its a Sit-down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr.gumbo Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 Started on the environment: At the moment, I'm trying to do something with that visible skybox corner but once that's done, I should be able to start with the 3ds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyoverlord71 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I loved it. It was smooth. It had a nice and unique layout. Unique and cool first drop. It had a nice setting....I liked the monkey in the station. A couple of bits seemed a bit wonky though. 9/10 Also my kitten enjoyed watching it.

Koolkid Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I feel like I owe you a few comments after all the times you've commented on mine Although obviously it won't be as valuable as i'm nowhere near as experianced as you. I thought it was brilliant, I don't usually bother with B&M's on No Limits as I find them boring most of the time but this was great, twisty, forceful, airtime filled, inversions. Everything There is just one minor thing and that is that I didn't think the name suited the coaster, could just be me though Overall 9/10 from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hey Dr.Gumbo, i dont have track packager or have any means to get it, could you post just the track too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 ^ You can get the Track Packager here: http://www.coasterchamber.com/forums/tools.php If you still need the .nltrack file, I'll try upload it for you as soon as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollerboy Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Amazing! I really wish B&M would start becoming a bit more innovative, like this. Top track man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrX8991 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 9/10 I loved the setting, originality, and support work on this ride. Being picky, though, I do have one minor complaint. Pretty much every inversion (other than the vertical loop) was a zero-g roll or something very close to one. It got a little old after a while. Other than that, fantastic ride.

dr.gumbo Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 ^ Only three. The other two count as Corkscrews. lol Yeah, I know the rolls were a bit excessive on this ride (it was pointed out by other people on other forums) so I'll make sure that my next ride will be a bit more varied as far as inversions are concerned. Thanks for the comments everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmaxsba2408 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I thought that was just an amazing ride. Kinda dizzying in the back seat. The only part I didn't like was the two hops before the last two inversions. Don't know what I would have done differently but they seemed out of place.

MrX8991 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 The only part I didn't like was the two hops before the last two inversions. Don't know what I would have done differently but they seemed out of place. That was the only other part that bothered me a little bit, too. I don't mean to sound harsh (especially since I can't make anything in No Limits that's close to this), but from my experience in other projects I've posted on YouTube, I find real criticism to be much more helpful and refreshing than "ZOMG ur teh best!" I also forgot to mention how much I love the quick turns that come right before the hops. It felt like the ride was rampaging through the forest at incredible speeds. Also, I wasn't sure what to call some of the inversions since they seemed to be a cross between a corkscrew and a zero g roll. I say again, fantastic ride.

I completely agree, I'd take a harsh but honest review over a one that worships me any day. As nice as it is, it doesn't help me improve in any way.

dcxs Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Love the layout, and the environment, do you use that AHG-tool? The ride could have been a bit faster tho. Great ride overall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 ^ No, I used a tool called Newton to create the track. It basically creates tracks by imputing certain forces forces and apply banking. You can download it here under Entropy's NL Tools: http://www.coasterchamber.com/forums/tools.php Its difficult to use effectively at first but once you get used to the basic functions it'll produce fantastic tracks for you.
