Coastin' Dave's Thread: PROJECT DARK RIDE
NoLimits Coaster

Womp83 posted on May 31st, 2023

I don't build or make dark rides myself, but since no one else has left any comments on it, i'm gonna go ahead and leave some words for you.

Vehicle types: I'd say just go ahead and make 2 or 3 of the popular styles that you see in widespread use, and maybe throw in a curve ball or two. You know, something a little bit different, an original design maybe? And just make as many as you feel is necessary. Don't have to go overboard making like 10-15 different models or so to cover all bases. I know modelling can be a grind at times, lol.
The scenery objects you've made in those screens look good. Nice work.

I've always wanted to do a scenery pack of some sort to upload for people to use. But the difficult part is coming up with an idea that hasn't already been done, thinking of something that's going to be useful, and making things you're actually capable of making.

Thanks - I'm working with someone on perfected some car scripts. I think I know a few basic car types to do. I'm going to stay away from robotics right now since that's a whole other beast in and of itself.

I plan to at least release the catwalk set - it needs some updates, but when it's ready I'll get it out. I want to set it up to be recolorable because it currently isn't.

For starters, I'm thinking maybe a classic storybook dark ride car - like Mr. Toad's but more generic maybe? Maybe a generic car version of Rise of the Resistance? Again - stuff that doesn't require robotics right now. Rides with hydraulic pistons and robot arms are going to be quite a challenge. I have a Kuka arm car model that is nearly complete, but again - figuring out how to make it usable for a lot of people will be very difficult but hey, one step at a time. I'll post more updates when I get them.

Official FVD (Force Vector Design) Thread

For what it's worth, geforcefan indicated via email that Stephan won't touch the program anymore as he has an industry job and that he (geforcefan) wouldn't be fixing any more bugs after helping me.

From what I can tell, he's developed software based very closely off of FVD for industry use. I wouldn't be surprised if he outright wasn't allowed to do much work on FVD anymore.

there is no "return to zero" function on the mac version (I know some people don't like it but I think it could come in handy- especially considering that I can't option-scroll for fine tuning.)

This was removed intentionally as it often didn't work properly.

Also, I have to switch to English from Metric every time I start the program. I'm not sur eof that is normal or not.

Most coasters are designed in metric anyway, so that's not something that needs to be worried about in my opinion.
