/vr/ - Retro Games

I played a lot of the first game as a kid, but never the sequels. It always kind of looked like a big expansion pack to me.

What does it do differently?

>>1464693
>that merry-go-round
Looks fucking comfy, 8/10 would visit.

>>1464713
RCT2s biggest change is that you can assign music to all rides, and you can stack scenery pieces on top of each other.
oh yeah, and placing rides gives you a 3d 'demo' of what it will look like instead of just showing the space required, which is a feature i really miss when i go back to RCT1

RCT3 goes 3d and sucks shit

Been working on this park for a while.
Main objective is just for it to be aesthetically pleasing.

God damn I love RCT1+2 so much. 1 was essentially the first video game I ever played.

>those scenario parks with pathways that are wider than 1 square

>>1465549
Wide pathways were only a problem in RCT1. They fixed the peep AI for part 2.

>>1465531
looks nice. the only thing is the sphinxes are kind of out of place

would come and puke on your footpaths/10

So why is RCT such a ded topic on /vr/? I would have thought such a complex and fun simulation would have a an army of autist fans, some offense intended

>>1464693
>Not just RTC2 but just the first one as well
>Roller Toaster Cytoon 2

lol'd

OT: Is the open version any good?

>>1464693
Excellent post!

This was the first PC game I bought with my own money and my whole family ended up loving it. I remember taking turns playing the campaign mode with my mom. Right in the memories.

I still have the original disc sitting around here somewhere, scratched to fuck but I can't just throw that relic out. Never bothered with the sequels...wait, didnt they start packing that in with boxes of cereal at one point? I think I had it but never played. Had a wicked version of Clue that came out of a box of cheerios that was badass.

>>1464693
the cost of that land development is probably equal to half the total cost of your rides.

What was so terrible about the third one?

>>1466260
Most of those people left as /vr/ got slower. No more filled out Roller Coaster threads that are all about jewing people with scamkarts.

i dont think rct3 was that bad. it had a good mod community and people made some really realistic/cool buildings. plus being able to have first person view of the rides you build was pretty cool. people made custom stalls you could fit in buildings and could vern make them look like a mcdonalds restaurant with menus behind and everything. you could make ultra realistic parks.

>>1466751

just dug up the disk to install rct2 for the first time in years. gonna be a good night

If there's one thing I loved to do in each scenarios, it's was building the best Theme Park ever and then once I get my achievement, everyone in the park becomes tools used for my sole amusement.

>>1467294
don't discs for old games tend to not install correctly because the PCs are usually, well, too new?

sorry I'm new here

roller coaster tycoon was is fun as hell, i'm going to go dig up my cds

the guy who made it programmed it in x86 assembly which i think is pretty cool

I would always make a little amphitheater for the peeps and in the center I would put two entertainers, one dressed up like a Roman, the other was a lion.

>>1467308
Sometimes, depends upon the game. But generally speaking it works just fine. If for some reason the game doesn't work right, there's usually some kind of patch or setting you can change to fix it.

>>1467308
RCT works perfectly on any PC because it was made in machine code.

My goal was always to make a radical park where all of the rides and coasters overlapped with one another.in some fashion. This always led to a huge clusterfuck headache and then I'd just start drowning people. Every time.

The last time I played RCT2 on my pc, I was unable to save or load a game. I don't have this problem with RCT1 deluxe. Anyone know a solution?

>>1467308
RCT1 and 2 will run on computers for years to come as they are written in based assembly language.
If you're having installation problems I suggest getting the GOG version. Comfy as shit and can be modded like the original game if you wish.

>That 8 year-old feel when you beat Forest Frontiers for the first time

>>1466697

>>1464693
i think there's a way to make footpaths cross railroad tracks. you have to place a path on a lowered piece of terrain build the track over it then raise the ground the path is on up to the level of the track

I've never played any RCT games. I have the deluxe of 1 off GoG but the tutorial button does nothing and I have no idea what the fuck to do. Halp.

I'm an operations coordinator in the Magic Kingdom, and it's ruined this game for me. I can't just fire it up now, I have to carefully manage exactly how much queue space I need. I stare at a cascading ride system, and figure out what my dispatch intervals are and my ride time to figure out the exact number of vehicles that should be on the track are. Which works great but it suddenly feels like I'm at work and not playing a game.

>>1469167

>>1469163
You don't really need the tutorial. Just playing around with everything in Forest Frontiers is the best way to figure the game out. Build a few rides, some paths, a couple of food stalls and so on. It's easy to learn but difficult to master.

>>1469167
i always liked building parks as dense as possible, but that is just something else

>>1467556
bumping this

>>1469167
the lack of supports disturbs me

>>1464693
For me, it always provided me more frustration than joy.

I could just never live with the fact that the coasters that I make costs more, take more time to make and are never as fun or as pretty as the pre-built coasters.

That's why, I think, I liked the first RCT more. Less pre-built stuff to shrink my manhood.

Chrome Dome here, if anyone cares.

>>1476906
I really should get back to finishing this park, I had some crazy designs in my head for it.

>>1476908

>>1476912
And after I prettied it up.

>>1476914
Did anyone find out how to allow for paying at the rides for the "finish 5 coasters" levels? I could only ever get them to pay at the gates.

>>1476917

>>1476920
>implying this isn't the second easiest scenario in the game

>>1476924

>>1476927

>>1476906
Please fucking upload this.

>>1476924
RCT2's scenarios were embarrassingly easy.

>>1476906
holy shit i remember this, along with some of the other rides like it

does RCT2 run slow on anyone's windows 7 computer? I have 8 gigs of RAM yet it runs like shit, and I can't figure out why. I've already tried compatibility mode and I'm running the program as an administrator.

>>1479020

Isn't it a dosbox game?

Just increase the 'cycles' setting in the config. 18000-25000 should be more than enough

>>1479053
DOSBOX? No, it might have to do with running on a x64 architecture but I doubt it

>>1479020
I ran it on x64 Windows 7 just fine, though, not sure what happened to yours.
I'm using the one from GOG if it matters.

>>1479020
Nah, I haven't had that problem at all. I'm also running it on Win7 x64 Home ed. I installed mine with the original discs, too.

>>1473372
And I thought the mobile Transport Tycoon was bad.

>>1479553
Mobile version of Transport Tycoon was a port of 2004 Chris Sawyer game Locomotion.

Its still shit though.

>>1479558
especially since it has nice pixel graphics, and then shits it up by not snapping zoom levels to whole number ratios

>>1477380
I have since done a reinstall of the game and have lost the track file. I am so sorry.

>>1474034
Doing collab parks again would be great.

>>1480442

any Zoo Tycoon fags in this thread? I really liked the landscaping aspect of Zoo Tycoon, you could build a really nice looking park

Also, Dinosaurs

>>1481851
Loved Zoo Tycoon. I'd always play on the Kid's Map or whatever it was so I could build a whole bunch of exhibits without worrying about money.

>>1469167
>more guests then I've ever achieved in a normal park
>higher rating that i ever get
>more money that i ever have
>only year two

how

>>1467556
I had the same problem last year when I downloaded a copy, I think it was because the game is looking in Program Files but since you're on a newer system it should be looking in Program Files (x86), couldn't find a work around so I eventually gave in and just used my original disk. Never could find a way to make it work without a disk.

>>1466260
There used to be generals for the longest time when /vr/ was new but they died out around May or June last year. It evolved into something beyond what players could handle, the general player who is a bit useless and can't get a good excitement / intensity rating worked out, and the brilliant players who were so good they got bored. Collab parks were brought in to regain interest but they never really picked up too much after the first one. It split the userbase and people just moved on

>>1482168
how can new interest for threads be generated or does it need to be left fallow for a while? I've play RCT2 at least once every year since it came out but not constantly. There can be too much of a good thing perhaps that's what we are collectively feeling.

>>1481856
I'd use the money cheat and build a crazy huge Jurassic Park in the jungle

>>1473372
I will probably get it on my shit iPhone I have for work to play on the shitter tbh.

>>1481851
>>1481856

Speaking of Zoo Tycoon, are the Wild Life Park games fun? I have 3 installed from the Humble Bundle but I have yet to play it cause I'm so busy.

Is there a way to play RCT2 in widescreen?

I want to get into the game since I hear it's the best one, but the boxed 4:3 shit is too much of a turn off.

>>1482549
Getting the windowed mode hack and putting it to 1280x720 would probably be your best bet

Is this really any good?

Remember playing it when I was younger and enjoying it, but I'm not sure if it's aged well.

>>1486094
That game was the motherfucking shit when I was a kid. I loved it so god damn much. Found the disk not too long ago and played it for the first time in years. Didn't really live up to the nostalgia sadly.. It's still pretty good but it's too much geared towards kids, it's pretty simple and really slow paced. RCT would be better for a bit of a challenge, I feel like when I played TPW I found myself looking for something to do most of the time.

>>1486154
>it's too much geared towards kids, it's pretty simple and really slow paced. RCT would be better for a bit of a challenge, I feel like when I played TPW I found myself looking for something to do most of the time.
Ah right.

Lewis MacLeod as the advisor was brilliant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok5tvnxl28U

>>1486179
The game would not be the same without that Scottish ant

>>1473614
Loops cost tickets.

I remember years ago spending DAYS building a park themed around the idea that the go-cart track would be the main attraction. It was huge, had all kinds of turns, and was super stylized with stuff, but everybody was just "eh" and kept going on the merry-go-round.

>>1486179

>That feel when the American voice actor sucked.

>>1487076
>be younger me
>make huge go-kart track
>max number of rounds
>super exciting, this will be great
>name it Rainbow Road
>makes no profit because it takes forever to finish a race
>“I want to get off Rainbow Road!"
>"I've been queuing for Rainbow Road for ages!"

>>1487590
Which is bullshit because when you were a kid when did you ever think 'Gee, this cart course is too long and I've been on it for too long' if you went carting?

>>1487590
Reminds me of that track some guy made where it went on forever and it crashed his game because of it.

>>1486094
>>1486154
>tfw a cruise liner comes in

i'm impressed

>>1469167
It's not real, made using a mod as far as I know, you can't build land over itself like that without supports.

>>1481851
It shocked me when my guests started to just... leave the pathways

But I did enjoy making Polar Bear Thunderdome 2000

>>1488374

>>1465549
Just wanna say.. /vr/ is probably the only place in "the world" where I can hear something like this and laugh my ass off about it. Just nobody I would ever meet would ever say anything like this

Thank you

JP operation genesis I thought was pretty fun. had some cool features but still lacked some stuff

>>1486094

>>1490302
Genesis was pretty cool, I should play it again sometime.

It's about goddamn time someone else started a RCT thread on /vr/.
We used to have some wicked threads last year around this time.

ha-ha time for discussion
>>1466260
Used to have huge series of threads, then people lost interest and stopped bumping. I hope they come back.
>>1473545

>>1473372
>mobile RCT
Let me tell you why this is bullshit:
RCT was designed to have realism while having a decent pace. Look at the spritework on that shit. Fucking cartoon bullshit. No banks on that wooden coaster, everything is plopped down.
>exp
>coins
>tickets
This is just a facebook game using the RCT name to draw people in.

>>1466260
We used to do something in the RCT general threads where people would post creations and we'd critique them and give them tips on how to improve. It was fun to help out beginners and draw on their parks with MSPaint.

Never forget /vr/CT

Also old jewing tactics

>>1473372
>>1491472
>No banks on that wooden coaster
Hope you didn't need that spinal cord.

>>1464693
a new one is on the road. Prepare for disappointment.

I wish you could play RCT 2 the same way you can play Sim City 2000 windows version.

Started playing this again after ages. Nice to know I'm still somewhat competent at coaster building.

>>1492293
I bet that game removed any penalties related to that. You can probably build anything and it will be good. Otherwise the people who bought this game will get frustrated and not pay more money.

I can't seem to get pricing rides in RCT2 right, and the default ticket prices are just laughable. Any general guidelines?

>>1492306
Never played Sim City, what do you mean by that?

>>1492325
I think it was the price should be around the same as the Excitement Rating?

I used to love RCT as a kid, but when I tried playing it again a few years ago I got incredibly bored. Not because it's a bad game, but because it lacks a fast forward function. I was pretty much done with my park after five minutes or so and had to wait an eternity for the scenario to end.

>>1492478
>I was pretty much done with my park after five minutes or so
The point is to maintain your park's quality until the end, ya dingus.

>>1492485
Well, that's what I mean with "pretty much done". Sometimes I added or fixed something here and there, but most of the time was spent staring at the screen and waiting.
But I'll have to add that I only played the first two missions before getting tired of it, maybe the later missions require you to constantly pay attention.

>>1467308
On a lot of older games, Microsoft forced publishers to implement this certain add-on program (can't recall what it is) that locked it Windows 95 and 98 for life, hence why we have dosbox emulation beyond floppy disk games.

>>1492418
You can play in a proper windowed mode.

>>1492581
Why the fuck did they even take windowed mode out of RCT2? It works so well in the first game even on high resolutions. Especially on high resolutions.

>>1492558
was it called DirectX?

RCT is one of those games where I'd start playing and the next thing I knew, 5 hours had gone by. I still occasionally get ideas for rides and coasters and shit.

I once recreated a local amusement park in RCT. Or at least, made it as close as possible. Took fucking forever, thanks to having 14 roller coasters. Had to make sure they were accurate.

Unfortunately, my hard drive failed and I lost all my shit. I might recreate the coasters again one day though.

>>1492581
you can play rct2 in a window if you use the window mode patch

http://burstintotreats.wordpress.com/rollercoaster-tycoon-2/

>>1492325
excitment rating over 7 and i charge $7.50. i start a new thrill ride at 3-3.5. peeps stop paying that much over time, but they'll pay for the coasters at 7.5 forever it seems. coasters are your bread and butter

>>1492685
Generally guests are okay if you make the excitement the same as the price but during the first year you can actually charge up to like $7. Gentle rides and thrill rides can be rebuilt over and over again to keep guests thinking they're new so you can keep charging $7

>>1492591
Yeah, pretty sure it was DirectX

How do you play RCT2 in widescreen?

>>1492871
RCT2 has widescreen support in the options menu, but you can't play windowed without a fix.

>>1488460
You can hide supports from view

>>1492585
The world may never know, probably engine changes and time constraints

>the RCT Noob add-on scenario for RCT2
Never have I laughed so hard over something so stupid.

>>1492293

>>1491694

Apparently RCT4 PC will be nothing like the smartphone version. It's been announced too, and that's literally all they've said about it and they'll focus on it after the mobile one.

I mean it'll still be awful, but there's hope right?
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-03-24-rollercoaster-tycoon-4-on-pc-will-be-completely-different-atari-promises

>>1493773
They keep saying "PC experience" though

I don't fucking know why, but I'm fucking worried.

>inb4 html5 f2p game

>>1493773
We can only hope.

>>1493773
prepare for disappointement.
You just KNOW they will fuck this up.

>>1493773
It's going to be shit.

>>1493773
>First is the mobile version, then it's the PC experience. I think a lot of people are vocal about wanting to see the PC version first before the mobile, but our strategy is mobile first
>our strategy is mobile first
That's a pretty shitty strategy considering the mobile announcement pretty much killed everyone's positive expectations for the game

>>1493773
It will be shit. I expect absolutely nothing good from that game.

>>1493845
My reasoning is that they'll use the mobile version to milk money off of the faggots that actually pay microtransations, and use that cash to pay the devs of the real game.

This has Sim City 2013 written all over it.

>>1469296
That sucks dude. I wish I had your knowledge without your job so I could make a baller park though.

>>1493921
I'd still probably buy it and see for myself if they optimize it good for release and my 8 gig ram 2.3ghz phenom quadcore toaster with radeon hd 6770 can run it

I'll go in and tell you guys how the pc experience is

>>1493974
Remember how poorly optimized RCT3 was when it came out? Took like two minutes to load up a saved game.

>tfw my PC crashed and the only thing that might be left is screenshots someone saved

>>1493845
He called it RC, I think that proves how much Atari actually know about the series. I could easily see them making a Sim City style game though, it's the perfect game for it although I hold no hope the game will be far from perfect.

>double-width paths

Any of you guys ever watch MonotoneTim on Twitch? He only streams every now and then but he has a decent following, he usually plays 3-4 hours of tycoon when he streams. He isnt the best at the game, but it is extremely entertaining to watch him try to do the scenarios.

Heres his most popular RCT moment, he has it presaved so he always does it a few times every stream.

The scenario has a lot of condensed rides like that. I think they look kinda goofy being so compact and isolated but when you build a bunch of shit next to them they blend better.

I'm the OP who used to make all those threads, week after week.

I still have all the /v/-/vg/-/vr/ tracks and scenarios, all the copy-pasta, all the links, the templates, the Google doc, most of the screenshots, etc. It's in my Dropbox account.

The Collab parks did pick up though, it was somewhat popular. From what I can see (in the Google doc), 10 parks were finished.

I wanted to continue, but you know: life + work.

If anyone wants all the copy-pasta, just tell me.

I'll at least post this:

Going to sleep. BRB in a few hours.

>>1494582
Can I snag that copypasta? Also a rar or something of the thread images wouldn't hurt, to anyone who may have them all.

Man, RCT2's scenarios are pretty difficult compared to 1. How do you guys get enough guests, I have to spam advertisement campaigns and shit. Maybe I'm just bad at coasters.

>>1494683
Didn't you use to browse my threads? I'm pretty sure I've seen your nickname.

Anyways, yes you can take the copypasta and do what you want with it. After all, I'm just an anon like everyone else: what's mine is yours.

The copypasta is big so I'll have to make 2 other replies.

The last thread I made was number 15, on March 14th 2013.

I sometimes changed the subtitle "Collab Parks Edition" to something like "We Jewing now Edition" or "I can't find the exit Edition" just to follow the trend of the thread, the main conversation between anons, or some kind of inside joke.

I'm surprised the mirror links still work.

Oh lawd the Zoo Tycoon series was great.

Not sure which is more fun; killing your visitors in RCT2 via roller coasters or killing your visitors via dinosaurs in Zoo Tycoon.

>>1495846
If you're quick enough you can save most of the guests before they drown and close the tower which will keep your park rating around 600. I don't think you can stop the rollercoaster though

>>1491429
thanks doc

>>1494809
RCT2's default scenarios are garbage, there's only a few worth playing, like Bumbly bazaar.
But the custom scenarios in the /vr/, /v/, and /vg/ pack are beautiful.
I highly suggest Set Sail for Hail, Elwynn Forrest, and Loch Modan.

>>1495981
Don't forget Final Destination

>>1495985
I'm STILL working on that piece of shit.

>>1495989
You got pretty far along though it's only a matter of time now.

I'd like for someone to make a toned down version of final destination where you can still build rides and shops and take out a loan just because I like the concept of buying the park square by square

>>1494809
Post screenshots for constructive criticism.

>>1495989
Thats just fucking evil.

>>1496020
No Restrooms Allowed. All go-karts, no toilets. You do get a bunch of stalls, though. Look at this pile of masochism.

Honestly, having restrooms wouldn't help Final Destination much. What kills it is no flat rides and no umbrellas.

Someone load up RCT Noob.

That is a beautifully perfect scenario.

>>1495981
Bittersweet Beach is pretty comfy looking as well. Fairly small map but it has that Bumbly Beach feel

Zoo Tycoon was my favorite tycoon game. Spent hundreds of hours into it.

>excitement 654.9
HOW.

>>1497318
There's a glitch in the heartline coaster that causes them to reach ridiculously levels of excitement when built in a specific way.

>>1497323
Huh, and all this time I thought they were just a fancy way to fill linear gaps.

>>1494148

I really, really love when people make things this nice with the default theming. Using custom objects and stuff that could basically never be done without trainers almost feels like cheating.

Hey guys, you may want to update the RCT1 scenario conversions in the copypasta with this one:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/3cw47sd2wt3hues/ExactRCT1Recreations.zip

It was done by someone on RCTSpace who made the research trees almost exactly the same as RCT1's to give them the original feel and challenge, and more effort was put into making the scenarios more accurate in general.

>>1497778
It also includes all 3 "Real" parks and the 3 scenarios from the promo magazines.

>>1497603
I wouldn't call it cheating, but it's definitely non-vanilla. If you aren't playing the scenario and just want to play the game as a sandbox, then trainers and custom scenery really help you pull off what it is you want to create. For this park, I used the 8cars trainer almost exclusively for zero clearances and all of those buildings would be a lot more basic without it. Although I agree that there's a certain charm about the default objects that custom objects can't come close to matching.

That scenario pack is outdated. I have a pack that has 92 scenarios here:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/6izs1w1tn7z1sk7/vpack.zip

Also, there are 126 tracks in the pack because I removed the ones which seemed to be stock tracks accidentally included, unless they were modified?

>>1499632
how do you keep the intensity down and the excitement up?

>>1499854
Pay attention to the G's while testing the coaster. If you see them spike too high or low, edit that part of the track to create a smoother inversion.

>>1499869
And don't go overkill on drops and inversions. Even if they're little dips, a ride with 20+ drops often will have too high of an intensity rating for most guests.

>>1500210
Ooh that's useful to know. I tend to make my coasters into a big chain of uphill parts and drops which decrease in size with every one.

But then how else can I make the coaster lose most of its momentum by the time it reaches the station?

>>1499869
I get that this is the basic skill but I could never manage it. By the time you test it you've already built the ride, then if you smooth out a corner I always found it incredibly difficult to link the two ends together again.

If I do manage it either the momentum has usually gone, do you edit the height earlier and it gets into a massive hassle.

>>1500504
This. Since there is no construction while pausing, just mucking around to perfect a rollercoaster ends up taking the better part of a year I could've spent, I dunno... Actually working on the park itself!

>>1490302
>>1491434
Never played it, whats it like? I think they might be making a CryEngine sequal coupled with the release of Jurassic World

>>1492581
While we're on the topic of simulation management, I played Sim City 3000 and loved it. What ever happened to this genre? We still see it's cousin, RTS, but simulation management seems pretty dead

This was not actually all that bad aside from the very beginning.

>>1501228
What was the trick? Start small, build money, and just dump it to spike park value once you've got enough?

>>1501236
You need to build the smallest possible coasters that you have with 5+ Excitement on both sides of the park at the start. Buy just enough land to build them and charge 10-12$ for each ride. That will quickly earn you a few thousand $ more that you can use to buy more land and rides. You can build a Wild Mouse that only requires 4x4 spaces of land or use a LIM Launched Coaster that is just a short line of squares at the start. I never build anything expensive at all. The most i spend was roughly 8000 for a custom wooden coaster. Having some scam rides already saved helps a lot since you have little room to experiment. At the end i had 23 roller coasters in the park. Don't spend any money on researching water rides or for advertisement. You don't need any of that.

>>1500686
Banished.
Cities in Motions.

>>1500686
tropico 3 and 4 also

>>1501358
Tropico 3 with absolute power extension. Tropico 4 is kind of shit.
Also, Anno series.

What are optimal excitement/intensity values for coasters (pre-scenery)? Should I expect high excitement to come with high intensity or is it possible to get high excitement with medium intensity?

>>1501407
Normally you can't have high excitement without high intensity, because the intensity usually contributes to the excitement. The only real exception to this is go karts. Just keep the intensity below 10.00, otherwise the excitement will drop due to pain or something.

>>1501438
Okay. How is nausea calculated then?

>>1500504
Eventually you'll get good enough to predict how the coaster will perform while you're building and this won't be much of a problem anymore. There are all kinds of things you can do to adjust the ratings. You can improvise and convert that sharp turn into a branch of other turns and inversions to smoothly reconnect the track, or you can adjust lift hill speed and train size that might give you that teeny tiny bit of momentum the train needs to get over a hill.

this seems useful
http://rct.wikia.com/wiki/Excitement
http://rct.wikia.com/wiki/Intensity
http://rct.wikia.com/wiki/Nausea

>>1501443
That mostly depends on the ride type itself. The suspended swinging coaster, for example, will always naturally have a high nausea rating due to the swinging feature. Not entirely sure, but I think a lot of hills and drops on normal coasters will also raise it.

Captcha: publicanus leervary

>>1501459
>Additionally, rides that twist and turn a great deal will have an impact on nausea
Gee, how insightful.

>>1500376
Post pictures, it's hard to visualize what you're saying.
>>1500504
There's no shame in starting small. Start with smaller coasters and work your way up. A bit of practice goes a long way.
>>1501407
Excitement and intensity go hand-in-hand on rollercoasters. You want the excitement to be at least 6 on your average coaster before scenery. Anything less is sort of lame. Intensity should be between 4 and 10, and it depends on the type of coaster. A good steel looping coaster would have an intensity rating of 6-8, while an inverted coaster is almost always above 7.

Intensity Explained:
Most coasters should have an intensity rating above 4. Anything lower is a kiddy ride, and probably has low excitement. Almost ever guest would go on a ride with an intensity of 5. 6-8 is a good sweet spot for most coasters. 8-9 is pretty high, but guests will still enjoy it. 10 is where it starts getting uncomfortable. If your intensity is 11, you will probably get a few rides, but you fucked up the design somewhere and need to look it over. 12 and above is awful and shouldn't be opened.

Nausea depends on the model as well. A junior coaster is never going to have a nausea rating above 6 unless you severely fuck up somewhere.

A "philosophical" question:

Would a ride that's intentionally designed to kill guests have an intensity of infinity?

>>1499854
Another good rule is to watch the speed of the train as it crests hills and rounds corners.

Bonus copypasta tips: best speeds for curves and loops in RCT1
Small Curve
18 mph banked, 13 mph not banked
Medium Curve
25-35 mph banked, 20-25 mph not banked
Large Curve
Go nuts..had a slight angle curve go at 88 mph didn't mess up my nausea or intense. But as a rule 45-65 banked 35-45 not banked.
Loops if you go over 27-30 mph it will jack up your nausea. But you can get away with 45 mph going into the loop.

30 mph is the cutoff for crashes, make sure your trains go slower than that when entering the station. This applies for continuous circuit coasters. Block section coasters have their own set of rules.

It would be really nice if there were extra large spirals like there are for small and large. I have a spot where I need both elevation gain and shifting over two tiles.

>>1501510
That's more mathematical than philosophical. The answer is no, as intensity scales with g-forces and it takes less than infinite g-force to kill someone.

>>1501559
It was a joke of a question really.

>The answer is no, as intensity scales with g-forces and it takes less than infinite g-force to kill someone.
Bugger.

>>1501510
I think lethality would be its own stat.

All the scenarios were made from scratch by a guy named Crappage on RCTSpace last year-ish. The older, less accurate ones were made by dakinle and RCTScenarioLover.

>>1502392
Looks like a roller-coaster to me.

>>1502392
It's pretty compact and tight. Pretty good for a small/medium sized woodie.

>>1502392
I really like that layout

The incrementation for subsequent drops is quite slow. I kinda want to fill the entire map as densely as possible for an absolutely spectacular screenshot, but I don't think I could handle the wristdevastation (or the autistic tedium).

I own Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 Gold edition. Should I buy Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, as well? It's a bit more expensive on Amazon. Is it any bigger or better than the original?

>>1502575
>Should I buy Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, as well?
Yep.
For one, it has the scenario creation tool, which is worth the price of admission itself. RCT2 is a bit more realistic and has more rides.
Just get it off GOG and call it a night.

Man i love this game so much as a kid, I still have my silly html RCT web page I made when i was like 10 where you could download my tract designs i was most proud of.

>>1502031
At least it's a decent coaster.

This feeling is glorious.

>>1464713
rct 2 perfects what rct 1 started.

think broodwar to starcraft.

like rct is a 9, rct 2 takes it to a 10. is it basically an xpac? yes. but an xpac that perfects the vanilla

>>1502575
Just know that RCT2 has much fewer scenarios than the first game, but that can be remedied with this:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/3cw47sd2wt3hues/ExactRCT1Recreations.zip

They're very accurate recreations, right down to available rides and research order, so it pretty much renders the first game obsolete.

>>1501380
I disagree. Tropico 4 knows everything 3 does but is better optimised and is, like, smoother overall.

I just remembered something about this ride.
It's over 10 minutes long and the game will constantly bitch about cars not returning to the station yet.
Also car would get stuck on a certain part when you left it by itself for a while without checking up on it.

>>1503604

Bump up your inspection for you big rides to 5 minutes, or whatever the most frequent one is. Assigning your mechanics so each one is covering 2-3 close rides also helps.

>>1503604
Inspection rule of thumb:
Set inspection time to 10 minutes for coasters.
>>1503654
>10 minute ride
>stalls often
hahaha holy shit.

I just set a block sectioned coaster to carry 8 cars, but it only runs 2. Why might that happen?

>>1503702
8 cars in a train? Your station is too small.

>>1503712
I meant 8 trains (theyre one car each due to the coaster type). If it were the station size it wouldnt even let me set that.

>>1503757
Got a screenshot?

>>1503763

>>1503773
Alright, first you should make the station two blocks long. It might be a glitch.
Some of those blocks are too close, try putting more distance between them. Try 2 spaces.

>>1503808
It was station length. That's very interesting, as an earlier iteration also with a unit length station had no problem.

>>1503773
I might suggest getting rid of the two chains in the middle of the track (one at the center and the other where the car is on the left). Unless you time the dispatches perfectly, you run the chance of having cars getting stopped at those chains which will completely kill any speed it has. And the layout is small enough that you can use a smaller number of boats without having the capacity drop too low

>>1503846
I believe the lift hill is longer than any individual section, which ensures that isnt possible. If I were to remove the hackish lift hill sectioning, the sections would probably be long enough for cars to actually get stopped.

I may just make a long station and drop the sectioning.

>>1469167

>>1503935
He toggled invisible supports so that they wouldnt overcrowd a crowded image.

>>1503863

I so wish there were station curve segments.

>>1504048
Scenery supports.

>>1502342
I meant fandoms like Touhou, furries, shit like that

>>1502684
Are there really no differences here? I was thinking of loading up RCT1 and 2, but if this truly has everything why not have everything in one package?

>>1504198
They're as exact as RCT2 will allow. There are some changes in RCT2 that made it impossible to be perfect, such as the steel mini coaster not having steep drops like in the first game, so some improvising had to be done on the pre-built rides in some scenarios. The readme file lists most, if not everything, that's not perfectly accurate.

>>1504198
RCT1 is still fun to play around with.

>>1503668
I think the stalling was more of a glitch because when i left the camera on the coaster, it never happened, it was only when i was going something at the other end of the part.

>>1495529
you can always save the screenshots as a GIF so they don't get compressed

>>1466751

Looks like RCT3 is the same as Zoo Tycoon 2,
Zoo tycoon 2 sucked ass.

I found this scenario at the very bottom of the other scenarios list, for some reason.

how the fuck did the creator of this get the coaster's stats to be like that?

>>1504827

was this a contest?

>>1504834

>>1504827
>>1504834
Are those twister coasters with hyper-twister cars?

>>1504852
Confirmed, they are. That's definitely trainer-assisted or something.

>>1504827
They were downloadable scenarios for RCT1 made by some gaming magazines to promote themselves or something. I just copied the design from RCT1 and that's how it turned out.

>>1504852
Yes, I used 8cars to do that in order to make it the same as in RCT1 since hypercoasters in RCT2 can't have a launch lift hill.

I love the "finish 5 prebuilt coasters" scenarios. I remember when I was younger I would always neglect building an actual park and try to just power through building the rides, usually running out of money after the third one.

>keeps telling me people are getting lost
>no idea how or where, everything looks ok
>park rating has plummeted to 0
>eventually notice that part of the path to the exit of my underground railway was deleted by accident
>this was one of my most popular rides; the entrance was at the very beginning of the park and I was giving away free vouchers and shit
>fucking hundreds of people are stuck down there
>when I let them out there's a giant crowd of people stretching from one side of the park from the other, all headed for the entrance
>population of the park drops by 600~

>>1505913
I feel only in RCT threads do you get gold stories like this.

>>1505913
>I want to get off anon's underground railway

>complete Final Destination
>still fail Fiasco Forest

I don't remember this being so bad.

I've discovered when you search for rct2 tracks, you get some some 90s internet page nostalgia thrown in as well

>that line of people heading out
oh my god. I've heard stories of accidental guest trapping but that's incredible.

>>1506109
I've done that before on this scenario>>1491472
where I anciently broke a pathway, and the only way to get out for a long time was a chairlift

>>1506115
Speaking of which, I want the next RCT game to have guest AI that sees transport rides as alternatives to walking places.

I thought RCT Noob would be a cozy scenario but it's like a Michael Bay movie at the start. Everything fucking explodes.

>>1506409
That's what makes it incredible.

On another note, I tried playing >>1486094. Graphics are fucked on it.

Probably because my laptop's too new for it.

I'm terrible at naming new coasters. Any thoughts?

>>1506823
Name it the Filthy Lies, because I see no loops on it despite it being a looping roller coaster.

>>1506826
Perfect!
there was an underground loop but i removed it so more people would ride it in order to be more jewish

when the /vr/ threads started i played the game almost nonstop for months. i did so much better than when i was a kid. by the time i stopped playing, the game felt more like a colorful spreadsheet than anything else.

I havent touched the game for quite awhile now. im hoping that with enough time it will become fresh again. i miss the peeps laughter.

I play RCT1 + expansions to ad nauseum, on and off, since they came out... every 15 months or so, I'll reinstall and play them like 12 hours a day for a solid month, and then get bored again. I only ever played RCT2 for a few hours, though. I haven't played either in probably 3 years... should I give RCT2 a shot?

Also, I'm stuck on Windows 8... best way to make it work, if necessary?

>>1506889
RCT2 is an overall improvement of RCT1. as explained in some of the comments above.
The biggest things is the track and scenario editor/creator as we'll as lots of minor things improvements and editions (such as being able to save scenery with track designs as we'll as screen shots of custom tracts when building a pre-built one)
personally, once you play RCT2 it's hard to go back to 1

>>1506889
RCT2 should work fine in 8, just you the GOG version in one of the links posted above

>first time on /vr/ since it was initially established
>see this
IS /RCT/ BACK? I MISSED YOU NIGGERS! PLEASE LET IT BE SO!

>>1506889

the worst thing about RCT2 is that the scenarios are terrible compared to RCT1.

fortunately, it is very easy to add the RCT1 scenarios into RCT2.

Am I the only one who likes RCT1 more than RCT2? Not just the scenarios, but the interface too. Proper windowed mode, not limited to resolutions, it scrolls around the map better...
