/vr/ - Retro Games

The park was closed because we failed the objective by falling below 700 park rating. Used cheats to reopen and reset the objective to 'have fun'. So I guess no objective this week and we can fully focus on spaghetti.

>falling below 700 park rating
lmao let me guess someone was retarded with the pathing for one spot

>>10679380
no it doesn't seem like it was a pathing issue, it's too early for the wacky stuff. I think it was litter+vandalism

I had a "fun" couple days last I played. What's the purpose of multiplayer in this game? How does it work? Don't you just build shit and drop mechanics and stuff around and watch them work?

>What's the purpose of multiplayer in this game?

The point is to build together with the homies. It's a shared map, so you could make a run at the scenarios together if you want. Most of us just play multiplayer to build cool shit together.

>>10679930
Ok I guess you can split the map then. Do they get to edit your stuff or everyone's coaster is their own?

>>10679950
It's technically free-for-all, but everyone follows gentleman's rules.

the park so far

Experimental lighting effects with the day/night cycle is kinda lit.

This also all appears to work clientside so feel free to dig through your settings.

>>10679874
I tried adding more guards around because when i started there were none lmao

>>10680428
That's a good idea, we have the cash flow to afford it. I put some patrols up in spots that had trouble before.

>>10680347
That would look perfect if the lamp sprites were brighter.

>make thread
>wonder why nobody was posting in it
>completely miss this one
Well I'm a colossal retard.

Finally got the purple area all properly filled out.

>>10681404
Yeah there's obviously some pretty big limitations on it (it would be nice if the trees diffused some of the light rather than just blocking it) but it's neat that there's some means of not making lamps completely useless beyond scenery.

Blue and yellow spaghetti corners have been started

>>10683345
I'm not going to be able to fully complete the Yellow area, so anybody who wants to finish it off is welcome to do it. Turnkey property!

>>10683436
I do enjoy the glass buildings

>>10683436
>no grey vertical faces
Install RCT1 already

>>10683052
the night effect is great

With a proper patrol area, security guards are pretty useful.

the corkscrew coaster sprites are really good

When was the last time anyone here played the original scenarios in multiplayer?

>>10689586
I did with a friend of mine getting back into RCT. I told them about OpenRCT2 and the multiplayer so I wanted to start us off on some easy scenarios.

>>10686154
I should make a bigger version of this map

>>10690238
It's one of my favorites. I just love the layout.

so, about that video I said I'd make about this

>>10692537
what's the progress, anon? If you need any help with it I'd be glad to help in some capacity.

>>10692537
I hope to have it finished tonight

>>10692561
here's a preview.

>>10692570
looking good. You might want to render at 1080p on YouTube even if it's only 720p just because the bitrate isn't as good on YouTube for 720p videos.

>>10692574
Thanks, good to know.

It is done.

you made it, anon

>>10692731
Very well-presented.

>>10695589
Bro is lurking. Hellooooo, Marcel.

>>10695589
>>10695672
i'm envious

What's the park for this weekend fellas?

>>10698905
Diamond Heights with no boundaries and rides deleted. A sort of Build-Your-Own Diamond Heights.

>>10699108
sure thing dude, go nuts
97.69.222.117:11753

kek 1488% proof that Marcel is indeed always in this general and playing on the weekend. I knew this would finally happen.

>>10700881
it was posted on reddit

>>10700882
I wanted to let him live in delusion, why did you have to ruin the fun?

What are you people talking about

>>10701552
You're happier not knowing.

>>10700881
>Marcel playing on the weekend
since the servers never has any microcoaster spam or uninspired ride designs I would say no

>>10701552
>anon makes a very good set of posts about the opening levels of RCT and why they're designed like they are
>someone puts those posts into a video
>marcel sees the video
>all hell breaks loose

>>10701812
Marcel is a bit silly and basic but he hardly seems like a bad guy

I don't understand this vendetta against him

>>10701812
I was excited for the guy since Marcel is such a big name. I wasn't shitting on Marcel.

>>10701829
I didn't suggest you were

>>10701602
I built the shuttle loop to summon him.

>>10702207
The ride name is perfect

>>10701816
He made a park where every ride was the colors off each pride flag for no reason

>>10701816
love the rapids

>>10702651
How did he get away with this one?

>>10703864
lul

Turns out Marcel did make a difficulty curve video 2 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHFaw-jHQ8w

>>10706971
It was a good idea to re-use an old RCT1 map. Without the park boundaries, it's the right size for a weekend map.

>>10708475
Maybe we should do another this weekend

>>10703864
Roller Coaster 1 looks too woke for me...

Which is worse, trackitecture fags who just play on sandbox or tryhards who spam 3 tile gimmick coasters for easy cash?

>>10709371
People who turn off clearance checks or turn on lifts on all track pieces and just leave it like that.

>>10709371
I would say whiny little faggots like (you)

>>10709371
tryhard fags for sure, at least the aestheticfags are playing within the spirit of the game

10cars

>>10712271
is there anything the old trainers could do that we can't do in openrct2?

I remember OpenTTD had a bot that would attempt to auto-play the game in multiplayer scenarios. Would it be possible to create the same thing for OpenRCT2?

>>10713336
I'm sure it's possible. Why would you want that?

>>10713404
Just for the sake of watching AI build a park, basically the same logic as having an ant farm.

>want to like parkitect but just can't like the art

>>10713602
I'm glad we have choices now. Back when /vr/ first launched, it was 3 Rollercoaster Tycoon games and a bunch of slop. Now we at least have Planet Coaster and shit like that.

>>10713323
I just looked at all the old trainers I had archived, and I'll give it a shot. I'm half-ass compiling a list of some of the things I noticed;
4Car per Trainer
>can promote specific types of rides (gentle, thrill, all rides)
>give guests food items or drink items
>uniform item pricing
>invert land ownership
>'slow' staff speed
>guide (force?) guests to bathrooms.
Beast Trainer
>flatten all land
>toggle water color
I know you can do this in object selection or whatever, but honorable mention.
>freeze time (not paused, not toggled)
>renew advertisements
>launch 'disaster'
You can make guests sick or angry (epidemic/riot) in OpenRCT2, but it also gives you options (power surge/explosion) that I think break rides and blew trains up. Can't remember.
>lunch time/home time (?)
I think this forces guests to buy food and leave the park en masse.
I can't open Dragons RCT Trainer in OpenRCT2. Installing RCT1 and actually getting it to work is too rage inducing, but I did find an archive. Also found some random google sheet (and source) if anyone cares (this is /vr/ after all).
Spam filter can go fuck itself, had to pastebin;

I was thinking about making an RCT clone, but man, this game is just goat. is there any room for improvement?

>>10715652
Combine RCT with The Sims

>>10715652
Just start making OpenRCT3

>>10715652
The thing that really gets the juices flowing is the new track pieces and elements being added - a particularly good example being the level-inclined cardinal-diagonal pieces added with the RMC coasters (hybrid, single rail). The reason for that is because it breaks us out of the almost-oppressive rigidity of building with pieces instead of splines.

What we need is getting closer to freeform splines, essentially what parkitect did, but without losing the soul of RCT by avoiding outright copying it.

>>10715701
parkitect looks souless desu, I wonder if throwing some sort of pixel shader would make it better or worse

Is there any way to work around the issues with slanting terrain here at the base of this fort? I tried using the disable clearance checks cheat, but it messed up the rendering order.

I'd really like to get a Hospitaller fort in the new world kinda vibe.

>>10716350
I think you can put them on the inside edge of a hole instead of cladding a pillar.

>>10716363
That's great, thank you!

It's a cool trick, but it messes up the rendering too. Same wall from different camera angles. I think I'm chasing a pipe dream, sadly.

>>10716397
make the brown stone into the red stucco land face and cope with the slight mismatch?

>>10716429
I went with this option. I think it turned out nicely! I wanted to incorporate cannons somehow-- I might disable clearance checks and change some of the cross walls to windows and see how that looks, but they won't be able to align to the middle and I don't know how badly that'd mess up pathing. I want to see little guys walking along the battlements.

I also would've preferred to do it in a different colour, but I don't mind how gaudy it is. If I could change anything it'd be all the crosses everywhere. I like them as a defensive structure for shooting out of, but crosses and windows were the only 'regular' wall pieces that don't have crenellations on top, and are therefore stackable.

It also really surprised me that building this cost like $17000. I'm going to cheat the money back and start as normal but with a cool castle. Another surprise was how long it took. This is the first thing I've really built in RCT aside from rides and a food court or two and it took ages.

Here's a cutaway. I've got four shops: a hat stand, a toilet, a sub stall, and a drinks place. I was thinking of doing a fountain, but I went with a clock because it's different and I was thinking it had sundial vibes.

Now I just need to do bins, benches, lights, and ways in and out on the top left and right sides. Tomorrow.

>>10716645
>>10716658
beautiful

Whenever I win a scenario, I close every ride except food and toilets, I fire every staff member and I close the park.
Then I wait until every guest has left the park to save and exit the game.
The park rating takes a fucking dive, but it's relaxing to watch the park slowly emptying as the noise lowers.

Anyone else autistic?

>>10717669
I celebrate by killing guests on any ride that can be adjusted to do so.

>>10717957

>>10717669
I like to keep prices around the 'really good value' range, but I used to have mandatory maximums for each type of ride;
Gentle - $0.50,
Thrill $1,
Coaster $2.
I'd usually get my funding set up so I could achieve something like this;
gentle - free or $0.10,
thrill - $0.50
Coaster $1
And I'd also reduce shop prices to where I'd only make $0.10 per item sold. Idk, I didn't want to be a greedy shithead or whatever the head cannon was, but I managed to beat everything in RCT1 at least twice.
I also just wanted to get the price devaluation out of the way as soon as possible.

>>10717669
you remind me of that guy who would create a little path loop for his go-kart champions

I want Galaxy Trooper in OpenRCT2 because it is the best RCT3 song.

Which map is it this weekend? We going to another unbounded scenario map?

>>10709384
Keep fucking up my trees spam because people leave clearance checks

>>10719835
It's either that or a classic /v/ pack scenario

>>10719876
What's one that we haven't played in a while?

>>10719835
Dinky Park unbound

>Page 10

>>10719889
Any of the OG stuff like Long Lake, Loch Modan, or Westeros

>>10719835
Electric fields

I just put up Loch Modan because I ran out of time to choose. It's up now.
