rollercoasterdan Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 I'm in.... One question: If I want to use car textures (just to make the ride better, not to be judged) can I upload it as a .nlpack?
CP_RULES Posted March 10, 2006 Author Posted March 10, 2006 The only reason I am making it so that it must be a .nltrack is because I am not a computer administrator on my computer. This means I cannot save into, or edit anything within the actual game files, I have to make my own folders and save my tracks there. Because of this, track packager does not work for me, so I request that all files be .nltrack, Im sorry for any inconvienence this may cause and I hope you understand.
Freefall Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 I might be up for that, tho i think 5 points for supports is abit harsh when your giving 5 points for couler
CP_RULES Posted March 10, 2006 Author Posted March 10, 2006 Supports will be graded harder than color scheme. They are only five points each because I figured they were less important, and I needed them to make an even 100 points.
Angry_Gumball Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 I'll sign up and we'll see what I can do...not sure if I'll actually get a coaster in but it's always worth a shot.
ElBlufer Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 I'm in. I have a floorless already designed...just need to tweek the filie so that it fits with all the requirements (the AHG made it go below the X)...and add supports.
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 What game is the contest for? It sounds like hyper rails or RCT3 (Which i have) And No limits (which i don't have) Thanks!
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Oh well. Ya can't join every contest thanks though!
ElBlufer Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 ok, here is my entry for the contest. I did not end up using any tools, as they messed up the ride in the long run. Twister.nltrack I present to you...twister!
CP_RULES Posted March 18, 2006 Author Posted March 18, 2006 Looks good, Im a little bit through grading it, but I have a big soccer tourney this weekend, so I will get back to it later.
rollercoasterdan Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 When's the due date for this again? Im about 3 elements into the ride. So far so good.
woah_killa Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Yea, what is the due date? I'll try, I might not be finished because I havn't been on here in a while and it might not be that good...but like I said, I'll try...(if my computer works) i'll get back to you later and start now.
ElBlufer Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 I look forward to seeing my competition. I'm glad that my entry brought this thread back to life
spaminacan11 Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Is it too late to enter? I really want to try, even though my track will be terrible, I still want to try.
CP_RULES Posted March 19, 2006 Author Posted March 19, 2006 Anyone can still join, and it doesnt matter if you are bad. Let me tell you, Im pretty bad at NL, so dont worry about it. This is just for fun, and to show off some of your skills. I dont have a due date yet, but let me go look at a calender to tell you one.... *Runs into the other room and looks at the calender* The due date will be Monday, April 17, 2006.
