The Park builders thread for Tip's, Tricks, and Ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blitzkow]

This is true but you have to merge the pad with the prop not the other way around which means you would have to put the props in before you properly start work on the park.

not necessarily. you can put all the pads and what-not in the park then add the props.

He's saying that you can put a pad into a prop, but not the other way around. You still need to add constraints to keep it from earthquaking.

how did you select the object inside the ramp i can get it to your put up VIDEO OR EXPLAIN BETTer

I zoomed in inside of the big pad and just kept highlighting until it registered. I've never had a real problem with it, to be honest. BUT if you're on xbox, it might be easier to use the cache clearing glitch and just place a pad onto an item.

pic plz dont know what you are talking about

[Ohmidineffect]

I know they speak and write english in England.... Fix yourself sir.

[kieran]

Now that I'm fully awake,I can ask the question with proper English.I'm asking about the curved stairs they go in on themselves(I know this does not make much sense).This is a perfect example of what I mean I'm on an iPad so I can't figure out how to attatch a picture so here's the link http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=cur...&tx=120&ty=108

I've been crafting caps since about a month after s3 came out, and one problem I always seem to run into is space limitation. More specifically, while either attempting recreations, or themes, I tend to create the elaborate buildings, or use most of my terrain limit within the first secton(s) of the map. I have the hardest time reconciling this space restraint. Are there any tricks or a generalized rule for getting the most terrain inside of a location? It's the whole shceme that I fimd hard to accomplish as a whole. Having the enire idea coming together at the end without over extending myself and the terrain limits. When I see some uploaded caps. Such as witzwuh's or what have you, there seems to be no compromise of the full idea or purpose of the idea. There must be some tips.. let me know please!
Thanks guys.

Ps. Sorry about the confusion surrounding my post about indoor caps.
It was never my intention to alienate any of you.

[m.seven]

i've never really built a cap myself,but i think that if you put in the skateable elements first and then go back and pretty up the place it may help.
if a park looks good but there's nothing to skate it's kinda pointless.

[kieran]

I know i've got to a bad start probably,by not adding images and not being specific enough,but we cant label everything on a first impression(i know that when reading this you may all cringe).My question is what CAP pieces i need and what tips there are to make the scenery and environment of my parks better,instead of just a spot with brick walls and the soho buildings. I've made houses before but they have always been boring to look at. From looking on Fluckit i have noticed the way that the majority of you have made the environment of your parks more realistic and "street". I've rambled on a tad. I came to intentionally ask on how you do so,what tips do you have to making the scenery of the parks better?

Thanks man I appreciate it,it will help.Also what helps to think of new spots,is the any blogs?it would help as I'm not very creative aha

[PoppySquidJr]

Just look at some interesting spots in real life, maybe some creative architecture, art in general. Observe the world around you, you should be able to draw inspiration from what you see.
I'm no park builder but I find myself seeing ideas a lot.

That was beautiful man. But seriously,thanks, I guess I could atop being so lazy in the winter and go up to London to look at spots,not just for skate.

[kieran]

this seems to be the only thread i post in!

however,i am always wondering on how these custom bowls are made,i know they are a flipped roll in,but what are the deck around it, are they pads,or quarter pipes and bowl corners?

depends i use a quarterpipes for most of mine but some people make them super custom using pads, another way it sto use the planter curve upside down and that will make the corner

thanks man,how do you do it with the pads because wouldn't they start earthquaking?

[Ayreon]

i heard there was a nice castle cap.
someone link me that shit

i can sense sarcasm,but if not,do you mean sk8tatters?

[Ayreon]

I know he makes sick parks so probably. Someone was just talking about it over the mic a bit ago. i also posted the idea in this thread a few weeks ago

edit

searched his profile. found it

[SolidMojo]

How do people skate the created parks? I find the fps in singleplayer mode quite shit so I always hit up a online freeskate so it doesnt have the park creator "in the background" but at times that can be weird aswell, any hints for smoother sessions or is it just tough luck? Im on ps3 slim 320gb model if that helps.

[Dzyne9]

I dont really notice it because i pretty much only skate cap. you get the lag after being in too long in online freeskate, but normally that will resolve itself when you swap spots.

I don't worry about this because luckily when you upload your clips the framerate goes back to normal. Uploading your clip turns a 3d animation into a video, and the lag happens in the 3d animation mainly due to trees etc.

[jbostic92]

Why do park creators put tons of props or garbage bins underneath the map? What purpose does it serve?

Sometimes in parks you get replays ending up 90 seconds long, and filling up the prop meter can shorten it to the usual 30 seconds, and sometimes less. This makes it much easier to film with the advanced free camera.

[jbostic92]

Hmm, that's interesting. Thanks for the quick reply Panda.

We do it more for they system not to freeze while building it.

[jbostic92]

Yeah, my Xbox freezes every 30 min while creating a park. Is there still a way to get the dr pepper code, or is it too late?

[sk8tatter]

while doing the glitch for ps3 since ea shutdown everything does that mean the DLC's in the playstation store go away also? hate to lose the merge glitch also

[Dzyne9]

I did the merge glitch after the shutdown, seems to be just fine. Im sure they will leave all that nice dlc up for sale. so as long as they are greedy, we should be good.

What? Do you mean they earthquake?

[Red1676]

Quick question. After I bought the Xbox one, it won't let me do the merge glitch anymore. Any way around this? Haven't made parks in a while and went to try today but wouldn't let me do the glitch.

I dont own a XboxOne so excuse me.....

When you get a XboxOne do you just Transfer your Current Xbox360 Gamertag to the XboxOne?
or
Do you make a New Gamertag when you get a XboxOne?

if it is the first one, then it could be possible that you transferred all your DLC to your XboxOne and now your Xbox360 thinks you do not own the SharePack/and Other DLCs that you might have
if this is the case then License Transferring your Gamertag back to the Xbox360 should fix the problem

again I am not sure that is how it even works with XboxOne, just a thought
