    What's your secret?

    I know this thread is going to get some vague (and deleted) posts But I am just wondering to what extend things are being 'hidden'. When I joined the forum (before that I was just sending out friend request and pm's on live like crazy) I had trouble getting some of my questions answered, people would just refer me to the Red Lynx youtube channel. I have 'secret' projects but almost all of them are just 'cosmetic', all the 'physics' and 'event' related 'discoveries I make I tend to share right away only to see more possibilities as fast as possible. The fact that I am building Tracks and Games for others to play makes me want to see the knowledge grow exponentially. Even though some people have proven me wrong in thinking that the largest part of the building community was just 'ego's' looking for some praise (Big shout out to No Fr33 Lovin and Shifty Samurai) I still run into these people that play like they have a secret that will change Trials forever So I guess what I'm wondering is, what parts of, or how many of your projects are a secret. I have two secret projects that both hold one lil' secret which is strictly a visual gimmick. This is out of about twelve projects where the other ten have nothing in them I wouldn't happily tell ANYBODY (and I do, even if you have no clue what Trials is and you're just sitting next to me on a bus) everything about it So, what's your secret?

    Dont really have any secrets, when i do come up with something I find impressive i generally think to myself "meh, someone has probably done this already" and dont really talk about it.

    If someone asks, i'll tell them, although sometimes the problem is explaining it ! LOL

    i would quite happily tell everyone everything i have started, almost finished, deleted, messed around with, discovered and everything i plan on doing in future... if i thought anyone would actually care

    there are thousands of people playing with this editor every single day.. if people think that they have found something completely unique and are trying real hard to keep it a secret, i just feel like theyre missing out on the great community interaction we have with track central and the forum.

    each to their own though

    Speaking of secrets about the editor:
    Back in the last days before evo, i was messing around with the Trials HD editor and i found out how to bypass the room complexity.
    I discovered that if you selct an an object, go in its properties, select glue to object and then press b it will place the object even if the room complexity was full.
    I never shared this since i found this three days before the evo release date.

    EDIT: not really a secret.

    I actually thought that this was common knowledge...

    I have secrets when building tracks, but when I finish them, if someone asks, I tell people how it's done.

    Most of the guys around here are loads better at the editor than me, so they figure it out long before I need to tell them.

    I've got a thousand in-progress tracks/skill games, but none of them are really "secret." Well, one, but it's probably not going to get finished anyways...
