Congrats to the three winners, amazing job on your work

@ Iseneau27: Good idea, I'll include it in the next release

@ fpatrao: The error shouldn't be a problem. That's caused by me using an older version of 3ds Max. Just click ok. What version of the plugin are you using? I fixed the scaling issue a few versions ago. Could you post a screenshot of the problem?

A Fantasy B&M Terrain Wing I put together over the last few days, I think this is technically my fifth project now in NL2?

In case you haven't realised, you forgot to freeze the track. Still just the wireframe lol

Oh god that sucks. Thanks for the heads up, I've fixed it on the workshop and here!

Looks like a random scribble.

Talking about cool5's "I'm Sorry" coaster, not your dueling thing.

Most of them are on the exchange, I know Mac's and Keltan's aren't (yet).

I've never done it myself, but this tutorial should cover what you're trying to do.

I think it would be cool if Cave In was some kind of walk-through attraction

Doing a test of a dueling invert-sitdown coaster. I imagine this would be a modern intamin or vekoma.

This is probably my favorite dueling interaction:

Needs a lot of refinement, but what do you all think of the concept? It's like Battlestar Galactica with more duel interactions.

My recreation of Lagoon's 1921 Roller Coaster who recently celebrated its 99th birthday!

Congrats to the winners!

I can't seem to find any of them on the exchange. Could you consider a release so that we may see each others work?

Hi everyone! I want to add some effects to my coaster when I dispatch it. How can I trigger an 'action'/effect when I push the dispatch button. (Not with triggers)

Thank you in advance.

My 12,5 mile long I'm Sorry coaster.

This maybe belongs here, or maybe in the NL2 ask thread. I've created a 3D model of a bridge and I have textured grass over the top surface of the bridge to match the existing terrain. When trying to match the textures they always look different though, the grass texture on my object always looks darker or mismatched in colour than the grass on the terrain map. I've tried messing around with the settings in the NL2MAT files but can't seem to find the right settings, does anyone have any ideas/tutorial videos?

There is one option. You'd need to make a custom platform and gate in your favorite 3D program and animate it (so Sketchup is out of question here) with an open animation and close animation. Your station in NL2 needs to be set to none visible.

Then you'd need to create a custom block script for your entire coaster. On dispatch from the station, you should delay the 'leaving' action of the train and play the lowering & opening part of your animation. When a new train stops at the station, you should play the closing part of your animation.

And we have our winners!

Congratulations to the top 3, and congratulations to everyone who finished and submitted an entry! We really had a lot of fun judging all your guys' rides and there were some truly great ones in there.

Unfortunately, there were a few times where we had to give 0s out for scores. If the submission broke a rule (such as a footer colliding with the template), the score for that judging category would be 0.

Once again, thank you to everyone who competed and made this contest a success!

Edit: I got them working. There needs to be more than a 1x1 grid for it to work.

How do I make tracer lights look right? I've created some in the Light Pattern Creator, but I can't get them to look right. They come out like this:

The below image is roughly what my settings are to generate the lights.

I want a single row of lights. If there's a way to make them actually chase, that'd be helpful too. What do I do?

Hi everyone! I'm making a Baron 1898 recreation and I thought it would be nice to replace the gate in front of the train by a custom one. Does there exists a script or is thereca way to do this?

Thanks in advance!
