I have manually imported a few coasters from RCT to NoLimits... My techniques may be obsolete but they will never be as smooth as my manual transitions...

When it is released I could post a difference between the auto and manual conversions... (And the speed and height difference!)

TOO BAD I DON'T HAVE 3D STUDIO MAX... Otherwise I could at least theme something for my nice giga SLC...

I know the guy who made the RCT -> NL conversion for Ole, and I got him to do a conversion for me. Man, you can tell the physics between the two games are different. I guarantee that 85% or something of your coasters won't even finish the circuit in NL. I had to lower every single hill after the lift, and it's still incredibly slow. Oh well. Still a lot easier than manual, that's a real pain, I've done it before too. At least now you have a sort of backbone to work form.

yum yum. i am drooling. the custom scenery is great but the fog, sun, rain and such will be awesome

Ask that guy to use 1 vertical tile -> 6' so trains should get close to the speed they should be and be able to complete the circuit...

The RCT height display is wrong!

That's how I do to manually make my own conversions...

Those do look pretty wicked awesome. I hope other things are put in, too. Be careful, though. I can see those being placed all over and I'd have to say "welcome to frame rate hell."

yeah but thatll be somethiing we'll have to deal with. it'll take some time on learning our pc's limits

Try this..... www.anim8or.com - it exports as .3ds . It's not studio max but it's free and you might find it useful.

well as of yesterday the nolimits crew says they are almost done with the 3d scenery creator importer object. this is only after 5 days. smell that? it is the new update flying quicker into our pcs thatn we think

Too bad this update won't have those oooooh soooo needed flyer trains. Oh well. The 3d importer sounds cool though. I am hoping that there will be a lot of prefabs for 'em though.

yeah those would be nice, the flyers that is. in reference to the prefabs, i do believe that they will include some nice prefabs. i think this only because they have some made for the screens. i am not sure what all is going to be in the new version but that right there made me drool

The new thing is coming out on the 28th of april. They are moving along fast on the exspansions. I wish they would have had the flyer trains in this one but o well. I'm looking forward to the rct converter and 3d objects. Also, on the sight updates, the new wood track will be in the third expansion.

cant wait til then. i cant wait to see the third update, WOODIES!!! bwahaha. but yeah.. good stuff, good stuff

Just 3 more days till 1.2!!!!!!! I am looking to the RCT track converter a lot more then the object loader because it will not come with any 3d objects .

__________________

2 more days!!

It's out now and it's pretty cool. Don't look too much forward to the rct import because the physics are completely different, coasters are very rough, and not all of them can get through the circuit. Have fun with the new version.

I got the 1.2b its pretty good. The environments are sweet! The RCT converter is pretty dumb because all the transitions and stuff are different so they turn out pretty rough. I found a bug in the SELECT ALL feature, it messes up the supports as you gradually drag the coaster, FYI, I emailed Ole about it though.

yeah i noticed those things as well. i have already created my own enviroments, like moonlight, overcast, severe thunderstorm and such. i also used autocad2000 to make a concrete tunnel object. ill try to load those enviroment soon

Taintedhand,

How did you make the new environments? I would love to have more environments! I like the fog one...it makes the coasters feel haunted with the possibility of encountering the undead coming up from the ground...

find the enviromnets folder, open the *.env files with notepad, then edit some of the values, read each line of code and chnage or add or swap, save the file as untitled, test it, then go back and rename it. really easy and no compputer programming needed, though it helps. i havebeen programming for some time now and created quite a few "positive" and "negative" programs. i also edited nolimits, before the updates came out, to supports woodies but they are crude and use metal supports.

well i was just going to edit the other one but i cant post a file in the edit screen so here is my whole enviroments folder i have a few kore but yet to name them so here is waht i have. use these. i will also post my 3d objects soon

Well now I'm not so disapionted about RCT3D not coming out. All my RCT rides suck on NL but oh well... Still a great expansion and woodies coming out in the third expansion pack. I don't think I can wait another 4 months!!!!

yeah the physics in RCT is not any good at all compared to Nolimits. but it is nice to port some of them over. a little editing is neede though

Thanks, taintedhand, for your environments! I found them quite interesting!

hey no prob i have water and rain coming soon. i forgot obne thing about creating your own. when saving the file save it as

"name of file.env"

with the Quotes. it will then work. sorry bout that

What's the deal with the new view? It's fly-by view or something. It's not really any different than the on-board view. The only thing I noticed was I could look in 360 degrees any direction. What's so cool about that?

EDIT: Ooooh. I figured it out now. If any of you are having the same problem, use the arrows and the mouse buttons. It points the camera at a fixed position on the train and then it follows it with the camera from whatever angle you chose to put it at. I just watched Nitro from in front of it (at sunset ) and that got pretty disorienting. I love it!

yeah i had that problem at first as well but figured it out, it is pretty neat

will there ever be a terrain map, anyone know?

I got 2 questions, how do I use the fly-by thingy and how do I change seats in the train and change trains? I have been trying to figure it out but haven't found an answer. Thanks!

Pushing Q will cycle you through the In Car, On Track, Flyby views (the Flyby view until you move it looks alot like the in car view, but if you play with the arrow keys and move out of the car then you know its in the fly-by view.) Oh yes, and the view depends on what car/seat you were in so if you start in the backseat and move the flyby to watch from the front, it will get VERY disorienting as the train moves in one direction, but you don't move until the back of the train moves. Same with if you start from the front.

Pushing T will allow you to change trains.

Pushing C will allow you to change cars.

Pushing V will allow you to change seats.

(if you need more hotkeys...push H)

Hope that helps
