>The RCT general lives on
Holy crackers! I haven't seen this place since last year when everyone was taking too damn long with their collab park turns and interest died off.

I still have the old general text saved to a notepad and the latest save for the "no borders" park, though at least 2 of the other members of it are dead / unresponsive and have been for months now.

Since it looks like people are doing collab parks again, may be able to get that running again to finish it up.

>>1577069
You ruined the second post.

Aw yeah new thread. I've been away a few days so I have a park that I made when
>no internet

Chapman Hills, a scenario where you gots to build 10 different coasters with excite over 6.00

Had to get this Slide Friction to over 6.00...
Fukkin no banked corners.

Then I had no room left so I had to build this tight twisty thing in the space where a Wild Mouse was.

The wild mouse had like a 3.00 excite. It was shit.

>>1577094
Comfy as fuck

>>1577129
thanks doc

So does /vr/ct consider this "comfy"

And that misspelling of "Velociraptor"

>>1577101
Sorry I forgot that existed.

Finished my take on plateau. The looping coaster was the only chalenge but interlocking loops saved the day

What's the best way to git gud at RCT 2?

Also, OpenRCT is making a lot of progress:
http://imgur.com/a/3GDuT#6

>>1577121
It's nice, but it isn't comfy.

>>1577145
That path color does NOT fit the scenery. At ALL.

>>1577265
I was trying to use a path that I haven't used yet. What path would be good for snow/ice theme.

>>1577209

wait, openrct2 can open up fucking thorpe?

>>1577261
http://www.mediafire.com/download/3d896vq7lf8dc5d/No_Borders_Park_pt6-9.SV6

If you want to check it out. Me simply holding on to it forever more isn't gonna do shit, considering it's been waiting 10+ months for the next guy to do anything on it.

>RCT opened fine yesterday
>It won't open now
Terrific

>>1577059
>still not using this as the op picture
>any year

>>1577468
Someone should recreate the track exactly using a Mine Ride train since it's powered. Use a trainer.

>>1577278
To long

Trying out In The Red... the park's a mess. I like this scenario already.

Requirements are 2cute4me

Almost there...

>>1577278
But seriously it's not opening now
Someone help

>>1577878
replace that train with a LIM launch coaster that follows the same layout as the train. You'll make bank.

Small park, should take 2-3 years tops. No landscaping, future theming, all research done at start. WILL need the /vr/ pack.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/k105rkkal0d7v9c/Future_Abstract.SC6
It is requested that you post a few screenshots, I'm interested in seeing how people set things up.

Current progress on my park so far. I think it's going well.

Name/color scene suggestions?

>>1578384

>>1578384
Inverted Vertical Shuttle 1

What a park.

For 4 Edges of Fun on the collabs park page, are the last two anons going to do round 2?

>>1578827
anon II here, I'd be willing to do another.
What did you think of my square? I thought I did I pretty good job for my first time.

The only water park in Washington, Wild Waves, has a splash boat ride called Lumberjack Falls, and I decided to recreate it because it's one of my favorites.

>>1578848
By round 2, we're passing the park around again, so you'd just work on the same square again. If there's really nothing to add, just fix the vandalism and whatnot and then upload the finished file.
I just checked my mail, Fenster says to pass it on to you because he's busy at the moment.

>>1578867
Is it a good idea to but no entry signs in front of path exits?

>>1578872
alright, I've got a couple things to fix I guess.

>>1578883
if it's really long with no other paths leading to other rides it would make sense.

>>1578883

I do it to make sure my guests don't go branching off onto paths they don't really need to go to. If the exit path is short, it's not a big deal, but this ride's got a particularly long path that could make the guests time spent a bit less efficiently.

postin current park

>>1578907
forgot pic

>>1578917
Damn that's cozy.

>>1578917
cozy

I was serious, last thread, about defining what makes a comfy park. If you all would like to debate aspects of comfiness, I'd be willing to compile a big list of attributes and put them into a guide or something.

>>1578931
its hard to say what comfy is. one thing i think is using the natural landscape to build around, placing rides and buildings accordingly

>>1578961
On top of that, keeping a consistent color theme that is pleasing to look at.
Also, making things look somewhat realistic.

>>1578817
Oh hey, this park.

>>1578976
>1984: The Queue Line

That is a gorgeous railroad.

>>1578817
>>1578976

how'd i do

>>1579005
>scam twister for park rating boosts
Eh, I can't judge.

>>1579012
I discovered that exploit mid-game, figured, why the hell not. I was already out of the red once I built that, probably had only a couple $10k in loans left by that point.

>>1579012
Based on peep AI, wouldn't they empty their wallets to ride those things one time?

>>1579020
Technically yes, so I'm told. I've never jacked the price to top dollar to find out. It might be worth looking into since the throughput for them is so incredibly slow.

I'm attempting to recreate Thunder Run (and other coasters) to commemorate the reopening of Kentucky Kingdom on May 24th. Will update.

>>1579026
>Charge 20-30 dollars per ride
>"The Greatest Fucking Ride Ever is really good value!"
>exit leads to an ATM

Rinse and repeat.

>>1578917
This is the scenario i made to build this park on. its on sandbox mode. I'm just in it to make comfy parks now. getting over the hump to decent cash flow has been getting in the way. i'm just too impatient

https://www.mediafire.com/?rxdubp821mh858e

okay, doing fungus woods. saved in may or june of year 4, need to rally 900 people to meet the goal.
how do i get 900 people in the park asap, i spammed all ads and came up 60 short then ragequit

A set of my PNW-themed rides. There's a big Woodie, a swirly Mine Ride, and the aforementioned Lumberjack Falls.

https://www.mediafire.com/?6oq6cgvovnmmh3r

Not included in the set, but here's a Rowing Boats.

>>1579032
If you really want to win
>Drop in the biggest baddest coasters you can (even premade shit)
>Advertise that shit
>Hope and pray

>>1579045
Fucking boats always get stuck, how do you fix it?

>>1579046
i get the feeling i dun fucked up since i don't have enough time it feels, i already have 14 or 15 coasters in there with 7+ excitement, 2 or 3 with 8+

>>1579056

I used to get boats stuck all the time. I haven't built any in a while, but when I do build them I try to give them a relatively small but spacious area to paddle around. To my knowledge the size of their re-entry point doesn't really matter, so long as it's easily accessible.

Just keep the area small (not claustrophobic) and sweet, and it's okay to have decorative bits like that island in mine.

Anyone have any tips for constructing scenary/landscape, ESPECIALLY building shit

>>1579237
Change your resolution to the lowest setting to make building easier

How can I increase satisfaction? All of my rides over 8 excitement that I make have satisfaction that plummet to 50% to 30%.

>>1577270
i like the black or brown paths

>>1579030
I couldn't open this one. Something about missing object data...

Anyone know how I can get more than two custom songs into this game? I want something really damn spooky.

>Tfw afraid to expand out your park and lose the comfy feel.

Honestly I might be able to clear the scenario without change so I might just decorate

>>1579012
That Intensity and Nausea ratings.

>>1579029
Can you charge 30$? It won't go over 20€ for me and i always thought currenies are translated 1/1.

>>1579456
I just checked, the max is 20$, so I guess the currencies are 1:1.

>>1579294
Screencaps?

How does everyone build their paths?
One-way streets?
Circles?
Trees?

I try to have only one path, that goes through the whole park in a circle, with all the entrance queues starting at it, and all the exits ending at it with a no entrance sign, but after a certain number of guests and park size, i have to built bypasses and shortcuts, and then it gets complicated, with folks getting lost, folks not finding the attractions they want to get to and random "traffic jams".

Anyone found the right recipe to deal with the AI?

>>1579786
Fossil, as always.
http://www.rctmart.com/fossil/PathingSystems.html

>>1579791
Cool, thanks!
Kinda matches my observations, however the decision points are new to me. So iguess when pathing with the terrain, where schematic paths often wont work, it mostly important to avoid paths that are pointing towards the exit, but do not lead there. So the folks seem to have a kind of compass, that only points towards their goal?

>>1579817
Yes. A path pointing toward the exit is fine if it's an ride exit path or something, though.

How do you get a Heartline Twister to those insane stats? If i try building one, it just ends like this.

>>1579831
Older version.

>>1577129
I feel sick.

>>1577814
The Incredible machine, holy crap.

>>1579831
Its a bug that has been fixed by now but not all of us have the same version of the game

>>1577814
In fairness those weren't high requirements for the time either. It's an extremely-well optimised game.

>>1579441
Is that a Steeplechase in there? I haven't seen or built those in years.

What are the stats on that bad boy?

>>1579970
Here you go.

Question: I accidently let people into the back half of my park. If I put a DO NOT ENTER sign in, will the people back there filter out without flipping shit?

My park rating got fucked already cause I messed up an exit (path leading to nowhere) to a popular ride

>>1580235
People will be able to go one way through No Entry signs, slowly but surely they will exit the area.

I suggest we make a tab on the google doc for the collab parks and move those year old unfinished parks to the tab. Just to get them out of the way so people don't sign up for never-ending waits.

>>1580449
Agreed. Abandoned Parks might work as name

>>1580235
I like that color scheme. Isn't there an award for having a certain amount of rides with the exact same color scheme?

>>1580546
No idea. I've earned Most Beautiful Park like a year ago, so at the very least its possible it contributes to that

>>1580559
I think only scenery counts for beautiful park. I don't get that award if i build lots of rides without any extra scenery.

>>1579324
oh. its probably because i've downloaded some user made rides and scenery. I might remake it without any extras if i get bored later.

So, what are suggestions for non-transport rides being successful as transport rides? I know LIM coasters were brought up in a previous thread.

>>1580721
I saw a screenshot a few threads ago of a Mine Ride that was used for transportation. It had a very good excitement score, somewhere above 9.

>>1580721
>>1580740
I would guess that looping would be pretty good as well. Might be easier to accomplish since most scenarios have that ride vs LIM or mine ride

>>1580740
Exictement over 9 as transport? How the fuck?
And the LIM coasters? which are those? My game is in german. The things that only can go straight and up? that runs with LIM.

>>1580793
This is a LIM launch coaster.

>>1580803
OK, that one. Yes, that should work.

Finally finished my recreation of Thunder Run from Kentucky Kingdom. I don't know if anyone wants a download link or what for this, but whatever. No scenery included yet,

10/10 would ride again

WHY IS RCT2 NOT OPENING

I dont know if requests can be done, but being from washington state there are very few coasters here. The only actual OK one is Timber Hawk in wildwaves. If someone could recreate that for me, that'd be great.

>>1580889
I'll see what I can do. Do you want scenery with it or just the roller coaster?

>>1580921
If you look at the park it's mostly just trees, which is why that ride has a cool factor for me. Whatever you think is best.

>>1580925
Okay, I'll deliver in a few minutes. I'll try to have scenery with it.

>>1580925
I'm sorry, but this dense motherfucker is just too hard. And some sources contradict each other on the information of the ride (i.e. how long it is, maximum speed and height). And I've never rode Timberhawk myself. And there are very few pictures and videos that help with the ride. :/

I'm sorry to say this, but fuck it, I'm giving up on that.

>>1581023
Alright, thanks for trying anyways.

>>1581059
I remember in one of the first few threads, someone posted a link to a site that had a lot of real life coasters in it.

>>1579504
I have to admit, I'm pretty shitty at this.

>>1581129
Lay-down and Flying coasters are naturally intense anyway.

>>1581127
I've tried my hand at remaking real life rides. This one was fairly difficult because there's weird angles on the real thing that don't translate to RCT's 90/45 degree turns. But I've rode this thing at least 25 times so I gave it a try.

>>1581139
>tfw haven't been to any kind of amusement park for years.
Playing RCT again really makes me giddy for it, especially when testing rollercoasters and watching the graph for vertical G's.
I can almost feel the tickling in my stomach.

>>1581162
I remember the first time I went on an inverted coaster. I used to think RCT greatly overestimated the intensity of those things, but no, they're pretty intense. Inversion after inversion, that shit was smooth but very intense. I had to sit down afterward.

>>1581252
>Go on my first Flying Coaster
>Scary as fuck
>Hurts your dick and balls so bad
>Get off
>Me and my buddies voices are an octave higher

But yeah, RCT2 is right

>>1581131
but why are they so unsatisfied?

>>1581252
I don't think I've tried that yet. Most intense I've tried so far was probably some kind of very compact ride with very fast banked turns and turning seats.
I'll have to try and get some friends up for it next time I travel.

>>1581263
Maybe because there's a half-mile of straight track before the end.

>>1581262
I've heard stand-up coaster hurt your dick too. They have a stand-up twister at Cedar point that looks fun, but I'm not risking it.

>>1581280
Stand ups from my experience dont hurt your dick, it's mostly just my head. It rattles so much on tight inversions.

>>1581139
Any chance we can get a download of that? I always admired your recreation of that ride.

>>1581280
Kinda, but the problem with Flying Coasters is that you sit like a hanging coaster.

But then the seats tilt back and you weight shifts onto you legs and dick.
There is that little raised sector between your legs and you balls/dick get pushed against it with all your weight.

>>1581274
How can I get them to like it?

>>1581310
you dont

welcome to rct

>>1581291
I put the track in the map pack I made.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xd6jsmalbk0zezz/blueballed%27s%20parks.rar

>>1581310
As the RCT1 manual states, keep the ride going until the end. Keep the twists and turns going until you get to the block brakes.

>build intense roller coaster
>"Guests are complaining about the disgusting state of your park"

That's how you know you've done it right.

>>1581317
Oh is that so? I always thought they liked it slow.

>>1581317
Thanks broseph.

>Love RCT
>Terrified of rollercoasters.

>>1581320
Some coaster, maybe. Every model has different quirks to deal with. I'd suggest fiddling with it, see if tighter twists helps out.

>>1581329
The Magnum at Cedar Point frightens me. It's not the tallest at the park, but the lift hill is so slow. It's gotta be slower than 5 mph because it takes a *full minute* to get to the top. 200 feet is really high when the damn thing takes so long to get there.

>>1581341
Jesus that thing's tall.

>>1581349
Theres a number of 300ft coasters. The rankings are clogged by bullshit like 400ft top hats and towers from LIM coasters.

How's this for a lengthy compact woodie?

>>1581386
>over 3500 feet
>can't even see the loops
You weren't kidding, that thing is twisted.

>>1581373
And speaking of tall coasters, check this out.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/world-tallest-roller-coaster-slated-florida-article-1.1525708

>>1581391
I actually had to cut a couple drops from it since it jacked the intensity up too high.

>>1581396
Looks like a fucking Wild Mouse.

I torture myself by reading these threads and not actually just playing the fucking game. I should really find my copy.

>>1581417
Just download a torrent or get it off GoG for $5

>>1581396
>single cars
what

>>1581423
There's a trend in the theme park industry to make cool rollercoasters... and then throw one-car trains on them.

>>1581421
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/vtycoon?l=german
Pretty sure that first link works. Maybe.

>>1581441

I believe that's the link that was on burstintotreats.

>>1581454
Well it looks like you can download it so there should be no problem

>>1581458
The putlocker link that is. That works.

>>1581396
Fuck it, I tried.

>>1581487
You goofed.

>>1581487
Brakes, nigga.

>>1581487
How does it even climb? is it launched or something?

>>1581521
He has one unit of lift hill with each turn. The train is long enough to reach between each successive one.

postin some woodies

>>1581487
>That fucking 90-degree max-speed turn just before the station
Jesus christ my neck almost snapped just looking at it

>>1581552
eh. this is a better angle

>>1581553
It's not even BANKED.

>>1581553
It was doing about 75 going through there.

>>1581594
And instead of putting a brake run before the station, you just decided "fuck it."

>>1581608
50% of my hoped it would burn off steam before it hit the station, but 100% of me just wanted to see what would happen if it did not.

This is a six coaster beast i made last year that I posted when completed, but forgot I did until now. I'm blown away by it, but think I can do better given the opprotunity.

I can drop the save file somewhere too if you wanna see it in action.

>>1581330
>>1581317
Are there any roller coasters with a high satisfaction rate so that I can keep one for reference?

Two questions:

1) Am I comfy yet /vr/ct?

2) What's the job market for EE majors in the rollercoastering business? I just had an epiphany that working with rollercoasters is what I want to do someday, and was wondering if any of you guys had an idea about what kind of people typically get hired by those kinds of companies.

>>1581757
Super comfy.

>>1581757
>EE majors in rollercoasting business
Of all of the engineering disciplies (aside from chemical and the specialized ones), EEs are the least employed. Most of the employees at coaster design firms are going to be MechEs or CEEs working on the design or analytics of the structure.

That said, there definitely is a lot of electrical work that is needed as every modern roller coaster needs electrical work around the track as well as a central system that controls dispatches, loading, unloading, etc etc. Usually these are small teams and they may even do some of the analytics or design work as well.

If you're not able to find work with a coaster firm, there's still a lot of aspects of the amusement park industry you can work in. There are a plethora of smaller/flat ride companies (Huss, Zamperla, Vekoma, Sally Corp, etc) or you can even work directly in a specific park's in-house engineering team.

>>1581804
I figured MechEs would be more likely to find employment in that field. I'm still a year from finishing my undergrad program so it's not like I would end up going straight to one of those companies anyway.

>>1581810
Yeah, it's very much an industry that requires a lot of work experience before qualifying for a job. Probably one of the best chances you could get at being hired would be to get maybe 5-10 years of work experience and build up a creative portfolio and send it out to Disney or Universal. If you're able to do EE work as well as draft up creative ideas, they'll love you for it.

It's a very selective but very fun and unique industry.

>>1581750

Wait do you want large queue lines or small queue lines?

>favorite ride of : 65 guests

HOLY SHIT WHAT DID I STUMBLE UPON

>>1581927
That shit belongs in an art museum

>>1581923
Depends on the park size. If it's the biggest coaster, medium-large lines. But since it's one of the smaller rides, the line can be quite short.
Rest of the park for reference:

>>1581896

as someone obsessed with dueling coasters, in particular ones with interlocking loops, i totally understand

>>1581831
Maybe someday I'll make it there. In the meantime, enjoy more comfy.

Park started out as fun, but by the end I completely hated it

>No good coasters to build
>Money tight as fuck
>Nothing good to theme with

I man at least the park came out mostly pretty,

Going to relax with a "build coasters" scenario I think

>>1581940
oh man can you upload that? It looks great

>>1581940
Example 2: Giga. This one is past its peak popularity. At peak popularity, satisfaction WILL drop because the line WILL fill up.

>>1581940
shit, that's a really cool looking landscape

>>1581952
>>1581957
It's Set Sail For Hail. Should be in the /v/ pack. If not, I'll upload it.

>>1581954
I love giga coasters since they are really hard to fuck up and look really cool. Never made a giga with the intensity greater or equal to the excitement.

>>1581954
Example 3: Giga at peak popularity. This one is the newest coaster in the park, and therefore all of the guests are flocking to it. Notice the line.

A new hyper-twister or giga will draw attention like this for a year or two, and you can charge $12+ for this monster. Novelty sells, guys.

>block section for maximum throughput
>tune line length so that a full line is less than a 10 minute wait
>tune price appropriately
>maximum satisfaction

>>1581969
>Popularity: 84%
Pretty sure it has just rained.

>>1581963
I had a blast building large coasters in this park. Lots of room to build in every direction and tons of landscape to conform to.

Map link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b1siuzs7uljg7c2/Set%20Sail%20for%20Hail%20Fixed.SC6
I fixed a spot where the guy who made it missed with the owned land tool.

best giga ive made so far

>>1582047
Not bad.

Man, bobsleighs are hard to make well.

>>1582109
Getting excitement above 5 is what I consider successful on a bobsled.

Tonight i decided to finally mess around with making buildings. this is the first time ive ever made anything other than simple boxes. How does this pic look? i wasnt so sure about the tree house thing, but in the end i think its neat. (spell check has just informed me tree house isnt one word. damnit)

its great, making shit with scenery opens up hours and hours more gameplay i can get out of the game.

>>1582178
I think it will look great with vegetation around it.
I always try not to use the same piece over and over again. Those Bows around the tower could use 3-4 white stripes just to break it up a little.

I would like to be able to do scenery while the game is paused. Thats what usually keeps me from using it in parks with tile critical objectives.
Maybe a idea to realise with open RCT.

>>1582178

>>1582212
yeah the biggest part i wasnt sure about was the bows, but its late and my mind couldnt think of any solution though its obvious now. I sprinkled some trees around and that adds a lot.

>>1582215
toplel

>>1582212
>>1582234
Bows?

>>1582258
i assumed he meant the long section going up the tower that was nothing but the same wall tile

i tweaked it a bit, and i like the tower way more now. I lowed the height a bunch because it seemed way out of place compared to the height of the rest of the park.

>>1582396
Nice thats exactly what I ment.

Sometimes i just don't know how to call a specific tile or ride.

This is my first proper attempt at making a park with a lot of scenery, I think its goin pretty good so far.

>>1582504
Nice. Could benefit from smal improvements like different terain beneath paths and under water.

Any ideas how to beef the excitement up/lower intensity? It needs to be +7 excitement and 3.934 length for the objective. I think the lengths whats making it so intense but can't do much about that.

>>1582504
>>1582396
Damn, you guys are making me want to build a park purely for aesthetics.
>>1583216
I would suggest watching the speed on the sharp turns. Keep it below 30 mph. If that does't help, maybe make the ride shorter, since ride length contributes to intensity. 30 drops is kind of excessive.

>>1583221
>maybe make the ride shorter
Well, that won't work since it needs to be a certain length. I didn't read that part. I'd just go with fewer drops. Scenery looks fantastic, by the way.

>>1583216
4k feet is just plain too long for a wild mouse. Cut size and decrease number of drops.

Is RCT3 just like 1/2, but 3D? Is it worth getting. I used to play the first one for days straight. Just letting the park run constantly.

I liked stranding mascots on pillars in water. Was funny for some reason.

>>1583262
The general consensus is that it's inferior to RCT2, but still worth trying.

does someone ever tried to collectivelly play this game?

>>1583273
What?

>>1583273
You mean collab parks? We've had a few

>>1583273
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

>>1583361
I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.

>>1583338
>You mean collab parks? We've had a few
how they worked?

>>1583445
>how they worked

>>1583445
We take turns and pass the file along.

I'm stuck on what to do with my park. I tried adding a cut through the giga coaster to the other side then my park rating dropped to 500 because AIs are retarded. What should I do now? What kind of ride? Where? Theming to add?

>>1583869
I'd say add some stuff to the left.

>>1583875
Like what, though?

>>1583881
Looping coaster, or something small. You can't go wrong with a mine area, either.

>wood
>steel
>titanium
>carbon

>>1583923
i feel like in rct2 they did a good job of portraying the whole 'carbon' aspect in the game

>>1583923

>>1583894
Built a looping one. Has a wooden kind of feel to it, I guess.

>>1584049
That's actually pretty sexy.

>>1584049
Casual player just scrolling by - don't paths wider than 1 square make guests get lost?

>>1584061
Only in RCT1. Guests in RCT2 can work with wide paths much better.

>>1584061
A little bit. This park is more aesthetics than actual functionality. Only around 40 guests at the moment are lost, which isnt bad when you have 1200 in your park

How does this ride look?

>>1584049
>Intensity: 6.66
QUICK, TO THE SATAN COASTER!

>>1584096
Like a bird's nest, but it's kinda cool.

Right Turns: The Ride

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Racer_(Kings_Island)

For any ohio fags out there i built a replica if the The Racer in Kings Island. I think its pretty spot on. the length on the Racer 1 is the same exact length as specified in the wiki article.

>>1584179
>Zoolander makes a rollercoaster.jpg

>>1584049
Shit nigga, I love the supports.

Alright. Not sure what to do next. Ideas of what and where?

>>1584446
Between the giga and the go-karts looks bare. You could also go with a park-wide transport system, too.

>>1584446
You could try making a mountain range typething and doing try doing an alpine type coaster out of a slide friction, soap box or something
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UGmleOV42Y

Is there any faster way to landscape outside custom scenario?

>>1584513
Use 8cars to force the mountain tool back in. You can also adjust the size of the regular landscaping tool.

I'm just getting back into RCT after discovering this general, how harshly will my parks be judged for not being comfy?

>>1584646
Not much. Functionality gets points too.

>>1584665
>>1584646
also if you're batshit crazy with your coaster constructions, or can 'goy' a park to financial perfection (do we still do that?)

>>1584675

>>1584646
As long as you're having fun! unless your parks look like shit, then we'll laugh at you and make fun of you and you'll never come back again

>>1584468
That looks like so much fun.

>>1584759
>>1584468
I do believe they put alpine coasters in RCT3.

>>1584468
Holy hell that looks really fun.

Code David Ellis. Effect When in line for a ride they will say "And here we are on (ride name).

now that code makes a lot more since after watching some of his videos

Added something to fill in the space. The ratings arent... amazing, but they do. I just think it looks cool, and I've never really built them before. And trust me I tried the alpine ride, it's just friction coasters dont work well downhill.

>>1585118
I'm pulling a 3.07 excitement, and that was after numerous edits. You just cant have any air time, that's the problem. But people seem to like it, so it works

So, suggestions for multi/4D coasters? About how many drops/inversions before they get too intense?

>>1584768
>>1584823
There even is a CSO for that kind of track.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvDzixLzxZ4

I love those smal alpine coasters but their major problem is overcrowding. Its just not fun when you have 3 guys in front who all go at minimum speed.

The ones without rails are a little more dangerous. I once burned my arm from friction after i fell over from not leaning into a turn correctly. Fun times.

ive managed to get a few bobsleds into 6+ excitement. i think the only thing that got pic related into 6+ was all the tunnels.

even though i put a brake where the arrow points, and i had the ride going for awhile, im sure its only a matter of time before people go flying to death where i circled. i think bob sleds and water slides have claimed the most lives out of stuff ive built.

>>1585193
i rode the multi dimension coaster "X" the game has, a few years ago at sixflags. it was absolutely ridiculous. i highly disagree with the 7.25 or whatever the excitement rating is.

ive never even tried to build one in game, i have enough problems with cork skrew coasters as is

>>1585225
Unless that coaster is block braked and I'm not seeing it, you're gonna get some dead peeps as soon as a station brakes failure hits. I'm pretty sure station brakes affects all brakes on a coaster.

>>1585229
i think you are right about station brake failures affecting all brakes. this was a pretty old save, back when i didn't remember to do a lot of things correctly. i check the save again and the ride totally doesn't have any block brakes.

i feel bad for the peeps who visit my old parks.

>>1584446
Water Ride.

>>1585118
>>1585127
>>1585225

But its so fucking close to the edge of the track in bout any turn.
But i have been wating for two years now, and it still hasnt crashed.

>Last reply

Whatever, I tried a Flying Turns, and I think I did okay at it.

>>1585380
this is /vr/, not /b/.

>>1585382
This thread seems to have a viewership of daytime hour americans. It'll get 50-100 posts in bursts during the day and be nearly dead all night.

>>1585390
anyone here do modding for RTC2? i've been playing the game for years and i find it annoying that there's limitations on the amount of guess in your park along with rides.

>>1585419
That's type-size/addressing limitations, which can not be modified so simply. OpenRCT will eventually resolve it, though.

>>1585437
>i'm going to rage now.

>>1585441
Relax, that'll be among the first things they aim to fix, and will once they get that part of the codebase decompiled.

>>1585448
i thought it was impossible to decompile c++

>>1585451
u wot mate

First, not at all - it's just difficult. Second, RCT is written in assembly language, not C++. It's actually easier, as the compiled instructions correlate directly to assembly code.

>>1585380
DAMN IT

Ride just crashed. Good thing I'm an idiot and kept it testing while building other shit.

>>1585463
i guess the ride does end.

>>1585193
Give up, multidimenstion/4d coasters are just gimmicky wing coasters.
>>1585225
Putting hills on bobsleds is asking for trouble. I think the best formula to follow is as follows:
Lift hill
First drop
Helix/Curve
Helix/Curve
Helix/Curve
Helix/Curve
And so on.
>>1585419
Modding the game is limited to custom rides and scenery for the most part. The scenery limitations when making a scenario are pretty much coded into the game itself.

>>1585787
Do you still have te save of "Version 2 - 4x4
autistic attention to detail edition"? I would go for it since like no one wants start the 3x3.

>>1585838
That file died on the guy above me. I never got it.

>>1585842
Alright, i got that wrong. I ll move some parks to the abandoned tab now.

I'd like to see how round 2 of the last 2x2 turned out. So if that anon II is here upload it or email it please

>>1585851
HELLA DOMINO ANAL might be finished since scj posted here not long ago.
vrctshitfest.SV6 died long ago and there's little hope for it.
NAACP Protest Park.sv6 got started but was never finished.
Loud Nigra World.sv6 was probably finished but never uploaded.
2x2 redux.sv6 is dead and one spot was never claimed.
Fruity Rumpus Asshole Factory.sv6 was started, and sent, but we're waiting to see if throw rug is still alive before abandoning it.

>>1585861
What about that colorful shit? Has it sentimental value or can i get rid of it?

>>1585886
I think that was a park, but it's been dead so long we shouldn't bother.

Any way to make 100% sure peeps don't die on a coaster due to Station Brakes Failure other than building the ride so long that it hits the station going less than 30mph?

>>1585926
Block brakes, or building the station at the highest point in the ride and putting the lift hill at the end.

>>1585904
I guess that should be enough cleaning.
I also abandonned the 2 "SPERM ARMADILLO ARMY.sv6" saves. Feel free to move them back if I fucked up and they are still active.

>>1585926
In RCT1? Nope, that's really the only way.
In RCT2, you should adapt to use block-section mode.

Also, this picture saved for posterity/jokes.

Also, where'd the rules go?

>>1585948
Maybe we should switch to only a single collab park at a time until we get more people. Splitting up the participants seems to leave a lot of ded parks.

>>1585948
Think you could move 4 corners of fun back to the front page until round 2 is done?

Also, I think we could start a new 3x3. All of the current parks are full, so it would be kinda cool to get other people in on this.

>>1585980
No idea, never saw them.

>>1585985
Well at the moment there is no park to actually join besides the Borderless park.

>>1585993
I will put the 3x3 bach in. Im in but i won't start it.

>>1585997
>Well at the moment there is no park to actually join besides the Borderless park.
Speaking of, I'm still looking for people interested in helping with it.

Doesn't even have to be anything massive like a new ride or whatever, just as long as you put full priority on your details and making sure everything looks superb. Even if you only add a few shops or scenery details it's all welcome.

>>1586016
I'll give it a try after I did a part of the new 3x3. I just can work better with limited space.

Do i need any custon scenery for it?

>>1586021
It should have custom scenery bundled with it. There's an option in your options menu I believe, exports any custom scenery with the save file. Make sure you have that ticked whatever it was called and you'll be fine.

I think I'll start over, I wanted to go with a heavy-scenery area AND a 200ft hyper twister, and it turns out your area is pretty cluttered if you do even one of those.

>>1586130
Yea turns out having scenery and big rides is hard.
I'll be back in about 10 hours so if you finish send it over. I'll check if any one slipped in between before I start.

>>1586157
Maybe I'll just go with a collaborative hyper-twister and let others build it. Sort of like the trams last time but on a bigger scale.

>>1586157
It's possible, you just have to have a solid plan with it all envisioned from the start.

>>1586163
That has a lot of potential. Lets hope noone fucks up too bad.

>>1586130
>relying on pre-brakes before block
>all that wasted potential after two drops.

>>1586206
I was tweaking it over and over and just decided, fuck it, it's gonna look like a scrap heap if I keep on trying.

>>1586219
Working within a confined space like that is a nice challenge to do, but I'm an autist for aesthetically nice-looking rides so interweaving under supports is a big no-no for me.

Personally, if I were to tweak your ride, like I said, I'd add a bit more track before your first brake run, and I ALWAYS always try it so that it the trains run into the block brakes at a natural, safe speed of ~15 < 25 mph in case of brakes failure.

>>1586130
I'd say use more underground space but then I realized how low the floor is on these maps, fuck.

Hopefully that won't be a problem in OpenRCT2

So I'm attempting that one park I made

>>1586484
What's the objective?

>>1586507
1,200 by the end of Year 2

>>1586516
i see literally 0 chance of this happening

>>1586518
You won't know unless you try

>>1586516
You've a better chance of getting a girlfriend.

Now what should I build, or maybe just where? Or both. Whatever works.

>>1586530
forgot pic like a dingus

>>1586531
Large floorless coaster.

Decided to dick around with 8cars and built one of these. Thoughts?

Been playing around with Launched Lifts. Here is my shitty first attempt.

>>1586564
My 2nd, but short (and not very exciting) attempt.

Would be something I would drop in a park on the cheap though

Surely you are all jealous

>>1586714
Nice.

>>1586714
You're gonna have to step it up if you want to win.

>>1586714
That's adorable.

Somebody just went on my Splash Boats ride while it was raining. While he was eating fried chicken. While he had to use the restroom.

I'll never understand these guests.

im conflicted. does this launched free fall look good here?

>>1586796

>>1586802
how bout' now

>>1586550
After like 6 tries, I built one that I'm somewhat happy with. names?

>>1586857
I like to use final fantasy names. whether it be limit breaks, overdrives, summons etc. given its a floorless im gonna go with "Valefor"

>>1586857
"Ostrogoth"
Also, your park is looking pretty slick, the wooden supported steel in >>1584049 has inspired me to start making some coasters like it.

>>1586857
Amalia's Wild Ride

I'd like to thank the new roller coaster I just built

Here's one I built under time and budget constraints in the Woodstock scenario, and even then I'm not very creative. This was my first scenario in RCT2 having played the first game for pretty much all my life. I'm not used to all the open space.

Welcome to RCT2.

How can I get people to ride on my rides so that I can kill them?

>>1586852
Change the color scheme of the ride itself and it's perfect.

Also, this again. Now with an entrance building and some supports!

>>1586964
Those stats are higher than I expected. I'll have to try that sometime

>>1586979
It was actually pretty fun to make. I was planning on making it have five one-car trains instead of one longer one, but >implying 8cars works fully in Windows 7

How do I make a long roller coaster yet keep it above 7 excitement? One expects me to make 4 10 000 feet ones...

>>1587005
its a bit intense but i really like this one i built a while ago. was trying to make a really big one. I think think woodies are my favorite.

I made this, has 5 trains on it. D-did I do good?

Can I get some advice for Coaster Building.

It seems like I have to go slow as shit or I get fucked ratings, even if the turns are banked.

And what about inversions

>>1587040
pay attention to g's when you test the coaster, when you get into the red you have a problem. the graphs can help you find where your problem sections are.

>>1587040
Alternatively, inversions have a sweet spot.
If you don't watch the G-force chart, watch the speed. You generally want your trains entering a vertical loop at 40 mph, corkscrews around 30, and large loops at 60.

CURVE COPYPASTA:
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 45-55 banked 35-45 not banked.

>>1587035
I like that scenario mainly because it's like a bigger Thunder Rock. I want to see what else you have.

>>1587210
I know this isn't as good as it could be, but this was after trying and failing to make a good Great White Coaster (only went to 6 excitement and i built myself into a corner with that one) and while my park rating was in a freefall because a ton of guests were by the Elevator trying to leave the park, so I was sorta panicking

>>1587254
This is how I decided to do it.

Im in RCT hell

>>1587287
Well I got them to test.

????????????????????

Literally how. They are the same fucking ride, at the same launch speed

Never actually tried to make a Rapids before.

>>1587308

Now with visibility.

>>1587298
Forgot pic

>>1587308
They're honestly my favorite water ride to make. I just wish they were more popular with guests.

>>1587308
comfy, I always like intertwining mini golf courses with rapids/log flumes in mountainy forest settings

>>1587315
I don't get it, why are the stats so different?

>>1587325
Shot in the dark here, but is it possible that the intensity comes from Fire going beneath pathing?

>>1587330
>>1587325
Nope, seems like it was some glitch. Resaved Ice (which was the template), deleted Fire and Replaced it

>>1587330
Take a look at the stats themselves. Compare the ride lengths and drops etc. Not sure what would cause that

>>1587330

i don't think that increases intensity, and it wouldn't explain why fire's max lateral G is almost 1 full point higher than ice (which is what i would try to fix first)

>>1587315
How is Ice so much longer? it's like 1500ft longer

>>1587325
>>1587298

There are some factors like going over the water and under the pathways that actually that make a difference. I think that might be the source of the difference here, but fuck if I know specifically.

I noticed it only considers Fire to have 1 drop, is it going backwards or something?

>>1587341
>>1587340
Didn't notice the drop thing.

Its seems like this happened

It was nice being alive. What do you guys do when rides reach >20% reliability?

has anyone ever been so far as to be decided to make a stand up coaster not ridiculously intense?

>>1587619
Shit, I meant <20%

>>1587620
Yeah, they're really not worth your time and money (kek) unless you make something really basic.

>>1587620
>>1587630

>>1587620
They're probably only that intense because Chris Sawyer must have gone on some aging Togo piece of shit rollercoaster in bumfuck Egypt.

>>1587620

It was nice being alive. What do you guys do when rides reach >20% reliability?

save design and demolish roller coasters then replace. let everything else fall into decay, i dont have the patience to replace a small ride every few years. my rule of thumb is make inspections on roller coasters every 10 mins and hope for the best. down time for me is usually less than 3%.

>>1587635
wait a second
post that one park you finished already

>>1587658
A good coaster can last 15 years with inspection times at 10 minutes. Flat rides die quicker, but they're easier to replace.
