These aren't lost, these were never released WIP ctr for drop towers. Only the intamin one was actually finished to a working state. The other 2 were an S&S variant and a gyro drop (scream ad heide park), never finished.

The supports won't appear automatically, you have manually to place them ingame, after building the coaster, from the Walls and buildings or the Scenery lists...

To change the cars on CTs, you need ctr-creator V.1. Go to Tools > Recover lost BahnDaten.txt from Ride.ovl Navigate to Tracks\TrackedRides\ and then to the CTR folder of the CT (not the one starting with TrackCTR or it won't work), and select the ride OVL. A CTR bahndaten will be created in the same folder, move it to the CTR creator folder, open it in notepad or your favorite text editor. Change the car names as usual. Find these lines (should be 57-89) and delete them.

Save the file, and run it trough CTR creator. It should work fine. Warning: don't leave the CTR bahndaten file inside your Tracks\Trackedrides\CTR-MyCtNameHere\ folder, doing so will cause CTR bahndaten to build the ovl files in a sub-folder of that same folder, causing duplicated entries in the coaster list and/or game crashes.

I still have Air, but keep in mind the CT was never finished, the track is not recolorable and most supports are missing. Plus the track has some bumps due to the NL importer not managing the roll values correctly, probably was one of the earliest, experimental, CTs. The station does not line up with rct3 grid.

At worst, you can always remove the floorless coaster from the park using Park Cleanup 2, so you can at least load the rest of the park.

Now they are ingame. Every item is avaiable in 4 placement options: normal, diagonal, 1/4 tile centered, and 1/4 tile centered diagonal. I'll add some architecure (columns, walls and such) and then it's ready.

Well, there are some differences. NOLIMITS CONSTRUCTION KIT PHASE. --------------------------------------------- For woodies, I'd recommend to optimize the supports in NL construction kit before exporting, this will dramatically reduce the amount of polys by merging adjacent supports. To do this, after loading your track file, go to Track (menu on top) > Supports optimizer. Leave the checkbox ticked and click OK. For intamin and schwarzkopf tracks, don't change the position of the rails in CTR creator (leave to +/-0.50). SKETCHUP PHASE. --------------------------------------------- Nothing different here, except for maybe texturing the wooden coaster track and supports. Not mandatory, but recommended for better look ingame. I'm including the textures I used for thunderhead here, they are red to be recolourable. For arrow and vekoma tracks you'd need to scale the model in sketchup, there used to be some custom ties made by coaster-inc back in the day, but I don't have them anymore. You'll need something like 140 CM of space between the rails. Remember to do uniform scaling (just scale from a corner) to avoid silly results. An 1.16 scale factor should be just right to get everything line up. BLENDER PHASE. --------------------------------------------- Just the same, but for anything except B&M tracks (all of the above), you'll need the spline on the top side of the rails, not on the bottom.

Please stop requesting CTs, I'm not open to CT requests for now! I've released a couple (Baron 1898 and Thunderhead), but they were old projects dating many years back, that were just sitting on an old hard drive as blender files waiting completion. I've another one I'm working on, but I can't estimate a release date, plus another CTR (again, a request by Cody). If you really want, there's a good tutorial, I linked it here in the forum. It's quite well explained and does not require any previous knowledge about 3d modeling or blender. I'm more than happy to help learning in case someone wants to try.

More of the pharaoh's tresaure, being dug up.

Cinipaes did a good zamperla mouse CTR on the ML03 CT. It should work wonders for those kind of rides. In case you don't have it, I'm attaching it here for you. Remember to install the Europa Park CTs as the required ML03 CT is included there. CinipaesZamperlaTwister.zip

Egyptian theming coming along...

An RMC raptor would be interesting to work on, but as a customizable CT, not a fixed layout. The main problem is that it would need a quite massive variety of track pieces, way more than my rapids or log flume CTs, and modeling them, making the splines in blender, and so on would be too much work for a single person. Just considering straight and 45* diagonals, banking intervals of 45* (45*, 90*, 135*, 180* in both directions), I think it's about one or two thousand track pieces. While I know Markus Lomberg's CTs are ca. 4000 track pieces, I don't think he was alone working on them... At my speed, it would take years.
