i created an account for the pro builders to be able to share and explain editor build questions that up and coming builders may have. this account will be openly shareable under the presumption that it will be respected and remain abuse free. its for the pros (any who feel the desire to share) to go in and build a setup, for example, an off center spin hinge and stabilizer set, for the newer builders to recover. once they recover they can go inside the editor and get an 'inside look' at the build. they say a pictures worth a thousand words... that was my logic for coming up with this idea. the 'learners' should follow a respectful guideline when using the 'classroom' such as "do not erase or dissassemble anything they are looking at", "always make sure they re-share whats shared when they recover" and "be fair and limiting with their time on the profile." general respect guideline to come soon. if any pros would like to contribute some build pieces feel free to xbox me. BlueMageFTW.
last but not least, i must stress this point. this account is for the community as a whole but its not for the 1 time builder nor for the di#@heads.

basic rules for fair and respectful use of the 'classroom'

1) message me BlueMageFTW over xbl to request use of the classroom (BlueSchoolFTW). i will message you back with the account information once the class is available. if you already have the account info, messaging me is still required so that i can inform you when its available. someone else may be waiting for their turn. 1st come 1st serve

2) recover the account, if it says you only have the demo of trials, follow the instructions on the accounts bio.

3) (important) go to the 'get' button and redownload all of BlueSchoolFTW tracks. you have to do this while on BlueSchoolFTW for you to have access to the lesson tracks.

4) do not move, tweak, change, erase, re-name, add to nor do anything other than observe the lessons. if you need to dissassemble something to get a better idea of how it works, simply resave the track as a new track and then you can play with it on the new track file, leaving the pros lesson untouched. the pros arent gonna apreciate if their builds are toyed with, please.

5) when your done with the 'classroom' give me a courtesy message so i can inform the next person that its their turn. make sure that you reshare all of the lessons that were shared when you recovered (step 3) (this is ultra important)

6) messaging me is fine. please dont message me to death. nor message the pros to death. the whole purpose of the school is for the pros to get a break from 'how do you make stuff spin?'




so far ive gotten a lesson added from the mighty xIRON WARLORDx, and Warlord098098. cannibal shogun and Rot In may have a lesson or two they might be willing to contribute... starting to look like a classroom... so far we have a few professors and a few students

Pretty creative Blue...I'm curious to see how this works

[johnsalis]

Awesome idea! This should be fun and helpful to everyone. The lesson I added is for automatic doors. I've used all four versions in my tracks before. (well, except the 2nd one which I'm using for my next track)

I'll definitely add more lessons later. Gotta do one on springboards.

[BlueMageFTW]

thanks for the contribution iron warlord. i am gonna make some final adds today and open the doors tomorrow. providing all is set to go... i dont foresee any complications yet. but as always, i need more pros to cough up a free lesson or 2 for this to really work... 1bit cam use, rockets, flying machines, amazing decoration pieces, whatever comes to mind. you guys know where to find me... and for those that dont, ill be riding my phoenix on the moon.

ima throw a reverser build into the lessons but please, realize that driving backwards is not fun... thats why i dont do it anymore... (but jooks stinkhole is pretty wicked)

I have gotten probably 30 or so messages asking how to do it. It will be nice to be able to point them somewhere rather than try to explain it..... again.


If I had a request, it would be about making a rocket propelled elevator. Mine tend to go kinda erratic.

[BlueMageFTW]

well theres a few lessons available. spin sandwiches and stabilizers, a reverser and corrector from me. a healthy set of automatic doors presented many ways from xiron warlordx and a chasing death wall by warlord098098. theres another lesson i havent reviewed yet by naviheylisten, ill review that later. but as of today sunday, jan 09th school is open for any who would like to learn a trick or 2... i stress its for people here in the community and its not for the guest thats just visiting. message me on xbox live for the info and i will message you back when the account is open. if theres others waiting to get a look, try to be reasonable with the time spent on the account, id say 30 or so minutes should be fair... unless of course no one is waiting. do not move, re arrange, change, erase or tweak any of the lessons. they were created by the pros in their specific way. always make sure you reshare all that was shared when you recovered. thanks. also, taking requests for new lessons. and as always, still waiting on more pros to offer up a lesson or 2. see top of thread for the basic rules for a fair play.
