There is currently no way to change what you post in the Ride Exchange 2.0. Which makes me kinda mad b/c I posted some really nice rides and now I can't change the original post. This is a BIG problem. By the way... check out my rides under the Compacto Rides series and "River Rapids Cube". Thanx Later

one of my rides isnt displaying right, i t has a 655.01 excitement, but the exchange only shows 15.01, does the exchange count the fact that it has 7 circuits?
or does it only show the first circuits ratings, if so would you put in the description box "make sure you have it set for 7 circuits!"

That isn't a Ridex bug. The Ride Exchange gets the stats from the track file. Sometimes what gets stored in the track file is different to the stats that get calculated by the game.

So in the game, the ride gets 655.01 as its stats, but the track file cannot store such a high value as that! So it's a game bug, not a Ridex bug.

You're right there is no way of editing rides.

So it's not a bug, it's a feature.

Sorry it makes you mad.

It's a feature of the exchange, that there is no edit function.

so no scenery/ scenery versions cannot be both uploaded?

so no scenery/ scenery versions cannot be both uploaded?

The same ride layout, one with scenery and one without, cannot be uploaded. The Ride Exchange looks at track layout when deciding 'uniqueness', it ignores scenery.

The reason for this is that if scenery was considered, it would be posssible for people to download a ride, then change something like (for example) 1 piece of fence then upload it again. The Ride Exchange would soon become polluted/corrupted with lots of rides the same except for a few bits of scenery.

i been having a problem all day my pictures are right sizes and jpg but it keeps telling me it isnt a jpg screenshot i uploaded 1 without it because i wasn't bothered bout that but i always upload a screenshot when i release a set of duelers so is anyone else having this problem?

oh and it is wider than it is high as well so it rules out that possibility.

Thanks for any help given, Garet

Its possible I suppose that this may have been caused by our hosts problems. There has to be some special stuff on their servers to handle the uploaded jpgs, and in the past they have forgotten to reinstall it after a reboot.

But I've just uploaded a ride (called Sneaky Snakes) with a picture without trouble, so there is no problem with the Exchange, please try again.

The other possibility is that the jpg is getting corrupted when you upload it. This used to happen to me a lot and was caused by a bad proxy.
