Random low ratings...

People can post rides however they want, either as saved games or as track files it's their choice. If you want the track just save it as a track file from within the saved game.

Right now there are about 19 single tracks and only about 6 actual parks or track packs in the saved game section. Surely I can't be the only one annoyed by this.

What's to be annoyed about?

I really don't get the things people get all cranked up about.

I'm not "cranked up" Jeff. It's just that you have a section for tracks and a section for games/parks. I personally feel people put their tracks in the game/park section to show them landscaped and with extra scenery. As I said earlier that's what screen shots are for. Park creators are getting pushd off the front page(and let's face it not many people look beyond the front page) by single rides.Sometimes multiple single ride uploads by the same person which should be in a track pack(all rides in one park)

Anyway if you don't like my suggestion fine. It's your site and I appreciate the opportunity to use it and will continue to do so when my uploads actually go through. However I will follow my own advice and you will never see a single track upload from me in the game/park section. I may however start uploading parks as senarios since they stay on the front page longer there.

What do you mean "section?" The default is to show all files, regardless of game or file type. Sort as you wish.

I see what you're saying, but it's a problem with the game, not the people that post. The first file I looked at that was a track saved as a game had terrain features, which obviously can't be saved in a track file.

Being annoyed by single tracks as a saved game is worse than me complaing about a quality coaster I have submitted that got a 7. Have you ever actually noticed how little theming is allowed in a saved track file? One you get past the station(if even that) you can't add any custom supports oranything and itIS a game default over a user default but get over it. That's just another pathetic complaint. I know how much more convenient track files are but but saved games always look so much better. Besides that who wants to go through the trouble of completely theming up a ride with nice landscaping and all just to submit the track file. Then you almost wasted your time theming the ride.

As far as no limits goes, everyone in a while I'lldownload a nl track file but like you said OMAR, No Limits IS a chore. Anyways that about all I have to say here.

Chris, you're crazy. You can fit a butload of scnery with track files. Just look at my jungle beast. I got a big station using small peices, LOT'S of bushes and shrubs, lots of paths and railings, and I still got most of the trees. You can fit a lot of scenery in a track file.

But John, uploading your files in the scenery section is worse. No one looks at that. And any park worth liking gets liked, and parks do get plenty of comments and rates. Files are coming through the track section faster then they are the saved games. The site's fine as it is, quit complaining. A ride stays on the front page of saved games for over a week, which is long.

And dude, terrain features aren't what the screen is for. The screen is just to attract people. If I see a screen shot with terrain features, I'm gonna wanna see those features in a game. Tracks can be saved games.

A decent amount of theming can be saved in a track file but not that much. I can do 10 times as much with a coaster knowing that I'm not held down by the limits of what I can fit in a track file. Track Files normally only allow for a station and some supports and that's only half the theming that coasters normally have. I was surprised at how much theming your jungle beast got. Either way my next upload WILL be a track file no doubt.

What IF the whole world farted at once?!

can I comment here?

holy crap I don't have to pay!!!!!!!!!

Anyways gonch sorry for all the flaming in the past if you can read this. I was just messing with you, but I didn't realize how bad I sounded. I hope you can forgive me.

wow that had nothing to do with the topic. I was just testing something out and decided I'd say that and see if I got a reply. Sorry to go off the subject. All I know is that the ratings have always been weird here. My coasters on this site got tens!!! at coasters2k brine dragon got 5's. which is what it deserved. This sounds nothing like me on this site dissing my own rides. Look at my files on coasters 2k to see how i've improved. (yes I know nobody cares!) This forum must be old because omar said I was banned. I can hardly remember the first time I was banned. oh well. I hope someone reads this.

This is not the games site, so I wouldn't advise commenting here. Especially in the "Suggestions for CoasterBuzz" section... ;)
