Sonic The Hedgehog. (NL)

You don't have prepaid visa cards down there?

^Good point made but last that I can recall we don't. But since our main bank merged with Barclays I think prepaid visa could be available here. Heading back to work tomorrow so I'm going to stop by branch to find out. If yes I'll try to get NL 1.6, 1,7 as soon as possible.

Hmm try to find a better concrete texture for those paths, http://www.3dxtra.cygad.net/page/46.htm ... 087cf5cd82

Like this cobblestone texture?



Thanks for the site BTW.[;)]

Yes.

I love the idea of it being over a lake, and I like the scenery. The signs were nice too.

dayum.... that ride is really cool. luvin the theme and the cartextures and the everything.

wow thats gonna be amazing... i love the 3ds!!! [:D]

Still busy themeing the ride. Created a neat but not to abstract Environment as well.

Here are a few eye candy pics:











I still have to do something with the textures on these pillars. Hmmm



I really like this angle as it looks a bit more Sonicish than the rest of the ride:



Edit: OK, I kind of forgot how the wall textures for Marble Zone looks and noticed that the scenery I included within the ride looks a bit pale. I accomplished to find my SEGA console some ware in a box deep down in a storage room I have here in my house. Played a bit of sonic 3 and saw that I was way off with the colors.
Here?????????s the new rock texturing for those pale walls:

I love this, keep it up. [;)]

Looks really nice dj
Nice 3Ds + the track looks really original.
Do you know when the release will be?

I know its taking a while but I did run into a few problems due to the coasters nature, supporting scenery etc?????????

Unfortunately I can't say exactly when it?????????ll be released but expect the track more or less within the next 3 weeks.

Holy S**t... this ride looks amazing so far.

And as CalawayPark said, you should call the corkscrew 'Tails.'

this looks sick, but i have a question, how do you make chain links? cus i need to make one but i don't know how to, please help me!

oh i know a few people whom would love this coster

i think everything looks sonic-ish. its like everthing is the right color. i would love to test, but i bet you already have tested and all. so i guess i cant wait to see it. look great!

yay. got 1.6 and updated to 1.7. Now I have some critical issues [:(].
no: 1 max lat = 2G
2 less airtime
3 some sort of weird random lag during any ride although the avg fps
is 100.

Please help!?

Are you using the improved friction setting? Try unclicking it and see how the g's are.

G issues are because NL 1.6 has more realistic g calculation

I think, can some one confirm this??

Even more without improved friction. I'm going to have to go through the tweaking process again... NL 1.6 has a better effect on the shocks though can that maybe cause the problem?

That's not true. Trackwalker talked to the NL team, and they said that 1.7 is more prone to smaller force flickers. Use 50% time to read the forces most accurately.

I tought i've heard it somewhere, probably just rumours or something

Wow, I hope that doesn't change the whole project too much, it was looking sweet.

I've reduced that 2 G problem. But it seems as if the transition is just to quick so I'm leaving it as it is, 1.7 in 25% speed. The funny thing is it seems like G?????????s occurring around the Heart line because you obviously don't sit in the exact centre of the train. +1.7 for riders on the left and -1.7 for riders on the right. Max vertical G?????????s goes up to 5 on that same element????????? But that's it I'm not rebuilding the track whatsoever, for me the pacing around that damn thing is just below of what I would actually like it to be.

Pic of f&%$#in transition:



I also need to connect the supports to the track????????? Again!

this looks really good and sonic is myu favorite game

Well, technically, 25% time is most accurate for it measures every little piece. It is, though, not the most realistic to judge by. A flick of 1.9 lats, for example, at 25% time for like 0.1 seconds will not affect the riders.

It's been a while since my last update but as I moved from NL 1.55 to 1.6 there was a few bumps in the road????????? I sorted out the more extreme G issues and the ride is still on its way.
