Pretty cool Coasterman0108! I'm excited to see how it turns out.
I like the STC Changa, but I think the lift should be steeper
Thanks to nolimitscoasterguy for the inspiration on the Outward Banked Pretzel-Bat
Double Inverting Stall duels with an outward banked airtime hill
Ready for this sick downward launch?
We're flying

Hope this helps :)
When using a custom train how can we ride the ride?
It's worked out! Thank you very very much for your help!! :D
In the editor, click on "File" in the top left, and then click on "Save Package..."
Hi Guys! I have a little question: How can you upload a coaster to Nolimitscentral? I've never done this before. Thanks for your answers!
I know this post is a little old, but I still have a little question. (: How do you create an NL2 package? I've never uploaded a coaster. Thanks for your answers! (:

Here's a fairly simple idea I have.
You know how mousing over the G-force combs gives you a readout of the g-force at that point, and same for the speed combs? I suggest that the same feature be implemented for the radius combs. When building a large element/turn, it's sometimes difficult to eyeball if your radius is actually constant because the comb is rather small.
if you go into the preferences editor, under the "precision" tab there's a slider to adjust that :)

Hmmmm... what could this be for? ;)
It's not perfect, but pretty damn close. This was a practice attempt to get the hang of how I wanted to model each track section. The crossties will be redesigned slightly to allow for flexible tubing to be snapped on.
Finish making The legend of korra the ride layout. This will be the worlds first and NoLimits tallest, fastest and first ever quadruple dueling RMC hybrid coaster ever. So are u hype for this ride?

Hey everyone,
I created this little plugin for 3ds Max that lets you import spline data from No Limits 2 and create your own custom track profile. It can be used to create custom track looks or to create a clearance envelope for your tracks. I added a couple of predefined track styles but you can create your own if you want.
What can it do?
- Import detailed model from your track
- Add mapping coordinates for striped rails etc.
- Add your own track style
Currently not supported:
- Tracks with diagonal cross ties
I also currently haven't included any clearance envelopes but they can be created using the small instruction included in the readme.
Included tracks:
B&M:
B&M Invert:
Arrow Style Corkscrew:
Intamin Mega Coaster:
Intamin Pantheon Track (MK2)
Meisho:
Morgan Classic:
Morgan Steel Dragon:
Premier:
RMC Raptor:
S&S:
Senyo Kogyo Dive Coaster:
TOGO:
TOGO Ultra Twister:
Vekoma Junior Boomerang:
Vekoma MK1101:
Vekoma MK1101 Invert:
Vekoma Suspended Thrill Coaster:
update log:
1.1:
- added connector ties
- added the ability to connect the start and end of the track
- fixed the scaling issue caused by different world units in 3ds Max
1.2:
- fixed importing crash with very small numbers
- combined the 2 versions of the script into one that works regardless of unit setup
1.3:
- added connectors between ties
- added 5 more track styles including Intamin Mega Coaster, Premier plate and beam style, RMC Raptor and S&S track
1.4:
- fixed the flipped normals issue
- improved the UVW-mapping option
- track now comes with textures
- track is recolorable within the NoLimits editor
- added 2 track styles: Vekoma Junior Boomerang and Meisho
1.5:
- hopefully fixed the UVW-mapping problems
- added the option to generate mapping coordinates for track styles with the rails on the inside of the ties.
- added 3 track styles: Senyo Kogyo, Vekoma STC and special thanks go to Tyrush for providing an accurate model for the Intamin MK2
- Updated all the templates to 3ds Max 2021
You can download the plugin here:
Download 3ds Max Track Importer 1.5 for 3ds Max 2021 and up
Download 3ds Max Track Importer 1.4

Please let me know what you think of it. Any suggestions, track files etc are welcome to make this plugin even better.
Can you add ajustable double spine for intamins mega and mk2 please
Hey can you add a track for double spine intamin please
NL2 is NOT a theme park simulator, it is a coaster simulator. Adding people would be a resource hog.

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification!
Tlans, Just to update we are adjusting the rules where track builders can not touch the terrain at all. We are limiting that scope to supporters only.
Supporters can globally move the coaster vertically as long as the centerline is not modified, and create terrain in addition to adding supports.
Tom, we would love to have you as an additional judge for the competition.
That said, happy new year all! The entry form closed and we have 38 entrants signed up. This gives us a total of 12 full teams! We believe this is the most ever for a 3 Blind Mice, even from NL1.
Amalia and I will take the next couple days to review the data and will soon distribute an email detailing your assigned role for the competition.
We are really thrilled with everyone’s turnout and energy, stay tuned!
You'll need to post some pictures showing the full layout with block borders showing to figure out the issue.

The lift hill automatically stops before the train reaches the top if the block ahead is occupied. If the lift hill keeps going without stopping, it means that the ride knows that the next block is clear, whatever that is. As that train cycles around the track, it inevitably must pass through the block border, which should trigger a warning about multiple trains on the same block. This is what keeps the brakes closed, which then causes the collision.
How to find the issue? Well, you can see where the first train is when the occupied block warning happens. Or in the editor, you can change the comb view to show the blocks. Color coded sections will show you where all of your blocks start and end. If you have things set properly, it will show the same color from the end of the lift segments all the way to the end of the initial brake. If not, where the color changes is your extra block that allows the train to pass over the lift, but doesn't stop the train, which causes the problem.
-Ride_Op
The warning about multiple trains on a block is triggered right as the 2nd train leaves the lift, as the 1st train has not yet reached the initial brake. The lift is not acting as a block. There is one single block from the end of the lift through the end of the initial brake
