Hey there fellow UC peeps! I've released my latest terror on the coaster world: Chaos Theory. This monster features 3 LIM launches and a whopping 10 inversions! The list is as follows:
<BR>
<BR>1) Inverting crossover cutback
<BR>2) Top Hat
<BR>3 and 4) Cobra Roll
<BR>5) Diving Loop
<BR>6) Immelman
<BR>7) Big Corkscrew
<BR>8) Corkscrew
<BR>9) Cutback
<BR>10) Corkscrew
<BR>
<BR>I'd like to point out that in all 10 inversions I didn't use a vertical or inclined loop. Just some inspiration for you guys working on Contest 13. To see screenshots and to download it please visit <!-- BBCode u2 Start --><A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/ride_op/index.html" TARGET="_blank">my website</A><!-- BBCode u2 End -->. Enjoy!
<BR>

Tom -
<BR>
<BR>How do you capture screen shots of coasters in UC?

Easy...during the ride when you find the shot you want hit alt+print screen. This copies what is currently on the screen to the clip board. Now exit the program and open up a photo editing program such as Adobe Photoshop or MS Paint. Hit ctrl+v to paste the image, then crop/size/adjust to your heart's content.
<BR>
<BR>So, what did you think of the coaster?

The coaster was fantastic! I loved how far you pushed the last LIM launch! It was constantly inverting and never slowed down its pase! Much better than what I can do with the program...yet.
<BR>
<BR>BTW, how are you supposed to judge heights in this game? And are you able to change the train color? (I just got the game last night, and I love it! I've been tinkering away!)

<BR>Thanks! It took a lot of work to iron out those inversions and to compact them all into a tight space.

<BR>Here are a couple of tips: Use the shift key when rotating the track, and read the Tech Guide that's on my site (front page, scroll down).

<BR>
<BR>Unfortunantly you can't. There are no indicators for height or speed. Just eyeball it like the rest of us do.
<BR>
<BR>
<BR><!-- BBCode Start --><I>And are you able to change the train color?</I><!-- BBCode End -->
<BR>
<BR>Yes. You have to change the file in crogram files
eactor softwareultra coasterimages named img20.bmp. That is the skin that the trian uses. Change that and you'll change how the train looks. Unfortunantly you'll have to exit the program to do it.

ialso just got the game so far. I have downloaded a buunch of your tracks and they are all good... I really like the Magnum recreation. And one last thing. what program is the best for changing the color of the train.

You can do it in MS Paint. Any photo or image editing program that can open and save bitmaps will work just fine. You have to change img20.bmp to change the train color.

just us UCMAN and you can change the skin, texture,and the type of train.

Brilliant! The website was too cool! I enjoy downloading and viewing other designs rather than creating my own. The trains were amazing!

I badly suck at UC3D, any tips?
