For the month of May, ThrillNetwork will hold a coaster design contest using the NoLimits software, the winner of which will receive a Six Flags season pass good at all Six Flags parks. Additionally, second and third place winners will receive a NoLimits ThrillNetwork T-shirt. All winners will have their coasters posted and featured on the official NoLimits web site. For those who win that are not living in the United States, you will be receiving a prize package instead of the season pass. You may only win once.
Six Flags season pass prizes for the ThrillNetwork's NoLimits Coaster contest made possible by the generous sponsorship by Six Flags.
Goal for design:
This month the goal is to build a GCI wooden coaster (wooden coaster (Tailored 2 seat) track style in NoLimits). The ride should be full of twists and turns, not an out and back style. For real life examples, look at Lightning Racer or Roar.
Rules:
*Must use at least 2 trains
*Must use at least one lift hill (2 is the max)
*No more than 1 station
* +4.5 to -2 Vertical G’s
* -2 to + 2 Lateral G’s
*One station only
*Must pass e-stop
*Track must be at least 3,200ft
*You may not build track above the purple line in the template
*You may not edit the template
*No 3DS
*Trees (in game trees) CAN be added
*All supports and track cannot touch the boulders in the template
*You may move the start point
*You may change the cars per train and amount of trains
Entering your track:
1) Log into the site (from the main site at
http://www.thrillnetwork.com/ or SpeedZone, but not the forums)
2) Go to SpeedZone at
http://www.thrillnetwork.com/speedzone/
3) Select the file you wish to upload and any pictures in the "Upload/Manage Files" tool. Only the track file must be zipped. Also, be sure to include as detailed of a description as possible.
4) When uploading your ride, be sure to check the box that says "Check this box to submit for this month's NoLimits Contest".
5) When the above steps have been completed, click on the "Submit" button. Your file should upload and your track will be submitted for the month's contest.
6) If it fails, check your file sizes, whether or not they are correct extensions, or if you are behind a firewall that may not be properly configured. Those are all common reasons for upload failures.
The limit is one contest entry per month. First place winners become ineligible once they win a prize (2004 winners may participate, however).
Tips and Some Answers
Sometimes if the track is too close to the end of the map and autosupports are placed, the game will crash because it tries to place supports off of the map. Don't get too close!
Remember to modify the wooden supports in areas that need it.
As long as the track is not above the purple line, all is fine, catwalks, ralings, and supports are allowed to extend above it.
Remember you cannot modify, move, flip, retexture, or do anything to the 3DS objects or terrain.
This require the No Limits Track Packager from
www.gravimetricstudios.com to unpackage correctly.
