[Jules753]

Ok so first off: Clandestine (pronounced: klan-des-tin) means to keep secret or hidden and/or done secretively.

this is going to be a side project, just so you know.

lets get a picture in here---



as you can see it's living up to its name.
Check out this Mini Profile:
_________________

_________________

so with all that said lets look at the type of cars as well as the colors



That's pretty much all that can be shared at the moment, it's all rather "hush-hush", but take note: there is more to come...

[Hydraa]

I really like your coasters, so I am excited to see what you show us with this coaster! From the pictures it looks very unique. Although I would suggest switching to the sit down car with over the head restraints since there are inversions. Do that and I think it will look better. Very excited to see more!

[Jules753]

thanks for your input!

um ya hydraa about switching the cars; i was going to, but that means i have to switch the entire coaster (all my B&M CTRs are separate.... sense it's a CTR) do you think there's a way to make all the B&M CTRs be for the same coaster? like the in-game Extended coaster? but even so, i think ill be stuck with building it all over again....

[Trax]

^Either you request it in the CTR shop, or you use the option.txt cheat to go over the old track with a new track and than delete the old track

Nice coaster though, the name fits good but i first thought it would be a park posted in the wrong section, Clandestine sounds kinda parkish...

I am curious how you are going to theme this and other stuff^^

I've never quite understood how to do this cheat...but it seems like its the best option How do you do it and is there a way to undo it after its finished?

[Trax]

do you have windows or mac?
if you have mac:
*username*/Library/Application Support/Atari/RCT3/ Options.txt

If you have windows search it on youtube...

You have to paste this in the options.txt, doesn't matter if you have windows or mac:

AttractionSceneryAllowTerrainIntersect 1
AttractionSceneryAllowSceneryIntersect 1
TrackAllowSameTrackIntersect 1


If it doesn't work, just go to the options.txt and take it out

[TheDestructR]

^from my experience that doesnt work on mac.

Can't tell much from the pics, but I'm sure it'll be good

[Jules753]

I have Windows 7 (PC)

shouldn't it be possible to just have it not intersect with only track rather than all 3?

and its all really confusing here; one video tells me to download an rct3 option txt (the page where you get it doesn't exist anymore), then another vid tells me to create a txt file on my own computer.....they all say different things

[Trax]

^TheDestructR;; Strange, i can make a video?
^Jules753;; I think this is a good way: search the options.txt on your computer and open it, you have the right one if it contains this kind of things:
Resolution 1440 900
Units 0
TemperatureUnits 0
ShadowsType 1

If you only want the track intersect paste this at the end:

TrackAllowSameTrackIntersect 1

But you better first paste all of it in it so you know it works:

AttractionSceneryAllowTerrainIntersect 1
AttractionSceneryAllowSceneryIntersect 1
TrackAllowSameTrackIntersect 1

ok so i got the cars changed:



ahh much better.

also worth noting at this point is the classic B&M "Pre-drop" that will make an appearance in its usual place at the top of the lift hill.



and thank you for the help Trax

[Payton Westlake]

On W7 options.txt is in:

C:\Users\[YOU]\AppData\Roaming\Atari\Options.txt

If there is not one there you can create it. If you can't see App Data, you have to go to 'Folder Option' and check 'Show Hidden Files and Folders'. Hope this helps you in the future.

You have to search around for Attribute tags on the net.

shouldn't your trains have 8 rows? being that this is a B&M sit down and all...

[Jules753]

^^Sorry Payton, Trax already pointed me in the right direction and (not that if it's too bold for me to say) I figured out where to find the Option.txt in Win 7 myself

^8 rows Ryan? is there something wrong with 2 less? besides, 8 rows will screw up the pre-drop don't you think?

All B&Ms have 8 cars. The pre-drop has nothing to do with the trains at all, it relieves tension on the chain itself.

check this out



sort of a concept piece...i may add a more-epic shot of this area later on.

[Jules753]

I just got a revealing shot of the latest developements



It looks like some sort of portal gate...(a frame that house a portal to something), not sure what this is all about but i suspect a segment of the ride will be different from the rest.

Before i was rushed out by 2 guys in suits and sunglasses i was able to pickpocket 2 pictures off one of them



Not really knowing where this shot was taken, it's hard to explain what part of the track this is...as well as why the track struts are painted a different color in these two photos...My gut tells me they're up to something...



I for sure can tell where this was taken (there's a boat on the lake in the gully). Don't be fooled; this is just a life-size model of an Asian mountain temple. The insides are all empty. It is very well made though...

So as i sit here trying to figure out how i can sneak on to film this beast of an experiment...i hear footsteps coming---I'm going to have to cut this short---

>>TRANSMISSION ENDED<<

[matt9537]

Really nice ride. Great colours.
Though that Chinese wall is a little bear I think. A little bit of spicing up and it'll be one beautiful ride!

[Jules753]

so im still working on what you said matt, anyway.

Got to show everyone this picture of this switch back element that's supported, it took alot of planing but here is a picture:


(photo from Steam don't know how long ill keep this up)

Just showing I'm still getting around on this project.

[MrRCT3creator]

Love this. It looks really awesome!!!

[Jules753]
