Wonderful update Dr. J!
Just a question though.
About the "Symmetry" I noticed there is an option for "1 X 9" but it doesn't
highlight, what is it or what will it be for?
Also I opened and examined the famous Swinger ride "ride4mky.dat"
and found that it isn't as hard as I thought, I'm not trying to degrade the hard work and many hard hours that buggy and the others put into it, but I noticed that the animation of the swinger ride is about 5 frames that were repeated and the PEEPS were about 9 or 10 frames that were repeated. Great job Dr. J!



EDIT: hey, I know how hard it is making one frame of animation, and doing something that no-one had done before, Swinger was still a major acomplishment

Yep! But...

Have you any idea how long it took to create those frames...and make them work right? (That's always the hard part...making them work.)

Looking forward to seeing all the new creations!

Everytime I load it, it freezes though? 

This version of the editor uses OpenGL in the Vehicle Designer. When the program initializes, it tries to access the OpenGL routines. If there is a problem, the program will freeze up. Its possible that OpenGL is not working right on your computer. I would only expect that to be a problem with older systems but who knows. Which OS are you running?

I've modified the 3D model so it can switch between 3X3 and 1X9 with a single click (it modifies the lengths of the arms to convert between "Twister" and "Swinger" type rides.) I can also switch the vehicle to "black body" and switch a "peep" (just a simple sphere at the moment) to visible/invisible. The goal is to set up the program to generate all the images of the vehicle and the peeps automatically. You would need to adjust a few parameters to make the 3D model look the way you want... and then click on a button to generate the complete dat file.

Only the most committed individuals could invest the time and effort to generate all the images the "old fashioned way".
