Cliffhanger POV | NoLimits 2 | Terrain Intamin Multi-Launch Coaster

This was my entry into the National Park Contest! It gave the challenge of creating a roller coaster that traverses an abandoned quarry (more info here: nolimitscentra...)

where do you put the pkg download file? I just got nl2 today since i am a huge coaster enthusiast but i don’t know where to put ext park files and how to open them in game. thanks a lot in advance and i love the work put into this project!

[@jacksongrace]

@@ReesesPeanutDogger If you just leave it in your download folder, on the NoLimits 2 home screen press "play," navigate to "downloads" in the in-game file explorer, and it should be there. If you put it somewhere else, navigate to "home," press "up" in the upper left corner, and go to wherever you put the park file. Also just as a side note, if you want to edit the park and/or see how the track, supports, or scenery were done, go into the editor, click file, and click "extract package." This will create a regular nl2 park file which you can do whatever you want with! By the way, some parks people share may be password protected, however none of mine ever are :)

[@redstoner897]

It looks amazingly smooth, good job! I've been trying to create roller coasters with NL2 for a while now, with little success so far 😅. I'm not sure if I should use FVD++ or just No Limits 2. After seeing this amazingly smooth coaster I really wanted to know: Do you use FVD++ or No Limits 2? (or other "mods" I'm unaware of)

[@jacksongrace]

This was all hand built in NL2! I have made a couple coasters in FVD, but for contests like these it is usually a bit better to hand build in these environments. For hand building, I have three different phases in the building process: 1st I create a rough outline of the coaster, getting down the general shaping ideas and with most rolls being strict. In this phase I try to keep lateral forces to a minimum (As a tip, try to adjust rolls first and THEN move the track vertices to have low lateral forces). 2nd I get into the details of the elements. I'll usually insert a few more track vertices, trying to adjust them to have constant positive forces in the valleys (try to keep them evenly spaced). I also try to make the lateral forces be smooth and gradual. This makes it so that when I add more roll vertices to get rid of the lateral forces, I'll only need to add one in a certain spot to correct for that and it won't be very wobbly. For getting rid of the harsh transitions between the strict rolls, I'll add two roll non-strict rolls between the two strict ones (each added roll should be near to one of the strict rolls, but not too close). Then adjust each of the added rolls to be about 5-10 degrees from the strict roll closest to them. Finally move those rolls until there is barely any kink noticeable where the strict roll node is. If you've done it right, you can unstrict the outside rolls and barely even be able tell that anything changed. 3rd I smooth everything out. To do this, I'll insert even more track vertices (without caring how smooth it looks for now), making sure to move the roll nodes back to where they originally were. I'll do this for 3-5 elements and then I'll depump all the vertices for those elements. If a certain element looks a bit over smoothed and lost some definition, I'll Ctrl+Z, add some more vertices to that element, and depump the whole section again. By the way, why I don't depump each individual element at a time is because at the ends of each depump there will often be a rough spot that is created. For these I'll usually try to adjust it by hand to be smoother, but it is best to just have to avoid those whenever possible. Sometimes there will also be new lateral forces that pop up some places which require slight adjustments of the roll nodes and/or an addition of a roll node. For a lateral force correction, try to keep the number of roll nodes to a minimum. After going through the whole layout smoothed out, I'll often touch up certain details, adjusting some roll nodes to further decrease lateral forces, add some, or reduce roll rates, etc. but for the most part the coaster is finished! Hopefully this helps! :)

This is a great ride I like the Cliff hang I think it’s a really cool element. I do have a question which is how did you get the transfer track to move with the custom train?

[@jacksongrace]

The train is par of a mod so it'll always move with the track (link to the trains, they've been released by the way: drive.google.com/file/d/11zcNxRQY5FifRou5rWGayiIarMVvXgvi/view?usp=sharing) Also I automatically moved the transfer track using block blocks (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXTNmmZ7nq5_fdk)

How do you do switch tracks like that? I've heard its very complicated and I was wondering if you use any external tools to help.

[@davidsallette6487]

Probably the most expensive coaster ever.

[@Intamindator_305]

Where are you getting these element names?

[@jacksongrace]

Either it's an element on an existing coaster or I just kinda make it up if it's not quite something that is irl. Usually I like to do something generic that is purely descriptive for these (e.g. for the "rolling stall", it is a stall that rolls very slightly through it. Why I still call it a stall is that the enterance and exit are at a far higher roll rate than during the middle of the element, and it still would give about the same sensation as a regular stall)

[@Synth_Cat]

how do you get the custom lsm sound effect i need to know and also how did you make that water fall

[@jacksongrace]

You can find the LSMs I used (with sound included) here: drive.google.com/file/d/11zcNxRQY5FifRou5rWGayiIarMVvXgvi/view. Go into Intamin Modern LSM Trains > LSM Fins.nl2sco (don't go into the "LSM and Brake Fins" folder). Go to page 6 of the user guide for instructions on how to use it. Also while you used to need to pay for these, Code released them a while ago. About the waterfall, it was created by the people who ran this contest so I don't know how it was made. However, I'm guessing they used a little Blender magic to pull it off. If you really want to know, you can ask the organizers here: nolimitscentral.com/forum/topic/1090

[@Gt350_]

[@justwhatido6058]

I would assume that the cliffhanger element would have some way of keeping the train from derailing in case the trims failed

[@jacksongrace]

It has a stopper at the end of the track (like on pantheon) that I put together with supports. Though if this was actually made it probably wouldn't go quite as far up the spike and the track would go on for a little longer.

[@justwhatido6058]

ah ok

[@justwhatido6058]

@@jacksongrace what would happen if the first forward launch was too much and the train didnt rollback, would the ride function as normal or valley or what

[@jacksongrace]

@@justwhatido6058 It would probably take a lot for the first launch to be too strong. LSMs and tire launches are generally pretty accurate with speed. However, in the case that it did go over, it would need to stop on the curved launch section because there would most likely a train still on the next block. Also I don't think it would have enough initial speed to launch over. When it does stop on the curved launch, it would do a swing launch to get back to the original launch section. Though again, I'd imagine that this would be an incredibly unlikely event.
