>>1627896
>Atomik's Contest
I really find myself wanting to try and do it with the absolute minimum possible number of rides in it at all, if any.

Just to see if I can or not and how it'd work out.

>>1627896
Atomik's contest
What'd I miss?

I uploaded RCT2 Triple Thrill Pack for anybody who wants it. Might be worth adding to the OP.
https://mega.co.nz/#!eM9zVCAL!WgCgTVkA4SLT_jnKpyblohBQ9SABxcXXFwQma-JmD4k

Also, how about some kind of competition as outlined here >>1627718 ? I would totally be up for something like that.

Is it possible to build a roller coaster with 10+ excitement without any extra boosts or glitches? Just the coaster itself.

>>1627960
Possible? Yes, I think so. But very difficult. What is a good coaster without some scenery? Even a bare minimum of scenery helps.

>>1627960
>those gigas
Would you be kind enough to upload them somewhere?

>>1627989
I downloaded them from some link in one of the old threads. HUGE is the only one i actually build.

I believe that my Six Flags park with infinite money won't let me test giga coasters without error trappers.

While testing to see if the game would allow me to build any giga coasters at all, I learned that building any kind is cheating.

>>1628083
Forgot screenshot like idiot

Thoughts?

>>1628083
>>1628087
Yeah, gigas have stupidly good ratings compared to everything else. It almost feels like cheating to use them.

>>1628110
it's so smooth and long I like it

>>1628110
It's so beautiful

>>1628110
It's so silky smooth, I love it.

>>1628110
banking/10

>>1628110
Really nice.

>>1627940
Copying from the earlier thread

>>>1627718
>I'm planning on doing some kind of contest, if there is enough interest maybe that would be a good OP.
>Plan is 1 or 2 weeks time to build a small park on a file I'll give out (50x50 park, owned Land smaller than That), 1ride where you need to design the track for and one ride minimum. The save contains custom scenery. Winner for nicest park would be decided on strawpoll. Any interest? Should be doable without much time pressure.

This is the first Reverser I've ever bothered to make. Thoughts? Names?

>>1628202
Is that queen cosmo? Can I kiss his nails?

i could be building coasters but instead im giving my rides silly names

bretty gud

Okay, that'd be the map I'll give you for the contest. Pretty plain because I'd like to see a lot of different looking parks. Any suggestions?

Made a new chart on the spreadsheet for the contest.

Are any maps in the /v/ Pack worth it?

>>1628647
What the fuck?

5000 meters? In a park that small? Have you played the game before?

>>1628653
There's a lot of joke maps that are only worth playing once for laughs, but there's a good number of serious maps that are far better than anything that comes with the game.
>>1628657
That's an objective that's not meant to be completed.

>>1628657
You're not supposed to finish the scenario

Also I'd bet my ass of /vr/ could be autistic enough to get it done

Found a guide to making ride mods/custom rides
I'm 2casual but if one of you guys who can 3D model want to try go ahead:

http://simsrct2.tripod.com/id4.html

I imagine we could use those models from the sculpt sanic threads on /v/ for a ride, that would be hilarious.

>>1628701

here's a way better guide actually http://ae.rctspace.com/tutorial/index.htm

>>1628110
have my babies

>>1628647
Added myself to the 50x50 contest.

Download link when?

What's the hardest park there is? I want a challenge.

>>1629029
Final Destination or Tycoon Test. There's a few ridiculously hard scenarios in the /v/ pack.

Hey guys, just wanna let you know I've been keeping the /v/ pack updated. It now has 113 scenarios and 130 tracks.

>>1629120
Nice, thanks.

How do I get the windowed mode hack to work?

>>1629184
Put all the files into the main folder. That's it.

>>1629190
Thanks

>>1628657
to be honest, that actually sounds like a challenge you could take on at a relaxing pace. i think i'll give it a shot, and i dont usually dont usuallyeven try to complete objectives

>>1629308
No, it's impossible. If by some miracle of the universe you actually complete it, I'll personally give you a blowjob.

>>1629356
I think it might just be possible by abusing helices. Do a few layers tall sprawled across the 42x42 space, and stack each of the ten coasters up. Careful choice will be required to get the top layers on, though.

Pack some bubblegum, just in case.

If no one has anything to suggest anymore I'd say I post the link and we could start the contest. For anyone interested there is a chart at the bottom of the spreadsheet for it, feel free to add your name even when the contest has already started, time shouldn't really be a problem with a park that small.

Deadline is on the 26th of may because of all the different timezones.

>>1629887
Awww Yisss.
Scenery isn't my best point in RCT2, but I might as well try.

>>1629887
Does it realy not include the standard support structures or is the scenery window fucking me over again?

>>1629932

>>1629887
Nice.
Time to get coasterin' then.

>>1629887
jesus how overwhelming

>all this custom scenery
>the trees are colorable
>the walls are colorable
>the information kiosks are colorable
I don't even know where to start

>>1630114
I'm half tempted to go full Minecraft and just build a giant cock and balls out of scenery pieces.

Made this just now. Thoughts? Tips? Names?

do you all set up your parks as a pay to enter or a pay to ride? i recently started playing again and i was wondering what the best way to profit is.

>>1630129
tangela

>>1630141
Pay per ride is the better option, mainly because you have to resort to odd strategy to make more money with pay to enter.

I wish I had a sense of design like you guys. I start on a plain map and I lost as to how I'm going to design it.

>>1630163
I get some inspiration from elsewhere, then think it through, considering what would make sense and plan an overall layout, and only then do I set to work.

Oh shit, not again.
I don't suppose anybody else is getting this?

>>1630174
Getting this, too.

I turned a huge Wooden Coaster into a Giga and Hyper Twister hoping that it could reach more than 10 base excitement that way due to the way those coasters get extra excitement, but it failed.

>>1630174
>>1630186
Only option I saw that worked for that error was installing a vanilla copy of RCT2. Sorry for the inconvenience, can't do anything about it.

>>1630197
Get their intensities back up with a couple more minutes of track.

>Download Atomic's contest
>Download all files in game, expecting just a small amount
>Leave for an hour
>Come back to look at the scenery in game
>Jeezus titty fucking christ

But seriously. How do I git gud at scenery. I have absolutely no idea what to do.
Also
>Colorable trees

>>1629887
Also, is it allowed for us to post screenshots of what we have finished so far?

>>1630197
>ride length 4 and a half minutes
the queue for that has to be horrendous

>>1630291
>block sectioning
I bet I could make a viable 10 minute ride.

>>1630291
It's 4 trains so it's not so bad.

>>1630306
I might actually try that. I'm bored.

>>1630334
what have I done

>>1630390
STATS NEEDED

>>1630394

I tweaked it.
A dozen trains, twenty block sections, two stations.

>>1630412
>>1630448
>a giga with higher intensity and nausea than excitement
You've done the impossible.

>>1630462
With a few more modifications, I could probably get the excitement above the nausea rating.

>Trying to think of a theme for the contest
>Can only build Georgian themed houses
Might as well.

GOD DAMN YOU ATOMIK

>>1630282
Why not? The only thing that could happen is someone copying your stuff, but I doubt that would happen.

>>1630595
It's all Hemicentetes evil plan! I just followed orders!

>>1630639
Okay, I was just making sure, because of what you said.

>Trying to think of theme
>Finally decide and make 3 building, one containing a Ball Pit
>Already Year 2

So wait, what are the rules for Atomik's contest?
I don't see no spreadsheet either

>>1630741
Spread sheet is on the second OP post. It should be the first link on it where it says -/vr/ Collab Parks-

>>1630658
>already Year 2
I'm certainly going to take my time with the scenery. Wouldn't be surprised if 10 years pass before I even build any rides. And consequently I anticipate many awards in the vein of pic related in that time.

>>1630741
Spreadsheet link is here >>1627893
Deadline is here >>1629887
The aim is just to make the nicest park you can.

>>1630658
>>1630760
I'm already in year 4

I got asked a few minutes ago whether there were any more rules than those written on the spreadsheet. There aren't, you can do whatever you feel like with the scenario: changing Terrain, removing border fences, you just aren't allowed to change the scenery you can use.

>>1630906
>you just aren't allowed to change the scenery you can use.

The only coaster i wanted to build is unavailable and the single sceneryobject i planed to use that is still in there are bushes.

Anyways It'll work out and is sort of fun.

Not sure what I can do with this scenery, but I think I'll try something other than a hyper-twister for once.

Guess I will do the competition, at least for practice. Will make a skype later

People get lost on the one tile they have access to. Parkrating constant at 700.

Everyone working on the contest huh? I hope noone does the same stuff I doo and then posts a screenshot of it.

>>1632539
I'm looking over your shoulder and copying all your notes.
Truth be told I hadn't even gotten around to starting it, was gonna begin after my dinner in 20 min.

>>1632558
>>1632539
I build one rollercoaster them abandoned the park.

>>1632539

I would ride the fuck out of that

>All these scenery options
I have no idea what to do with this stuff. All of the objects I'm used to are gone.

>>1632698
Surely the true challenge then is working outside your comfort zone?

>>1632539

Oh God. This is not an actual coaster, is it? it's just like a... sculpture, or something, right?

>>1632724
I don't know about that but pic related certainly is.

Check em.
This is my first attempt in a long time for dueling hyper-twisters. Pretty excited to see them synch up so far.

>>1632743
That would be amazing if you decided to remember the picture for once.

>>1632745
My attention is not focused on 4chan today.

>>1632742

>negative g's from centrifugal force AND from gravity
disgusting.

I would have preferred the wide cars, but this'll have to do.

>>1632786
>>1632745

>>1632798
One of these days.

Did somebody say synched coasters?

>>1632836

My second coaster that I'm trying to work on and get over 7 excitement (I know beauty is the name of the contest, but still).

>>1632836
>12.96 Excitement
I came.

>>1632836

8cars with zero clearance relative is you friend.

So far I'm actually quite suprised how much you can do with the scenery.

missing or inaccessible data file???
i need my own copy of rtc2 dont i. well shit,

>>1632836
>Excitement: Ultra Extreme

>>1632836
>Ultra Extreme

>>1632836
We need a download link for this work of art

>>1632836

>Excited to do park competition
>No American Flag scenery

Nevermind

>>1633064
I know. I was going to do a full MURICA FUCK YEAH park, but noticed the only "American" thing is the South American scenery.
Had to go with Yuropoor Georgian Houses instead.

>>1633064
Just put McDonalds vendors everywhere

>>1633064
Just discharge a load of FREEDOM color on a field of flowers.

>>1633093
I think I may have carpal tunnel now

Why are LIM's given such shitty ratings?

Tried to make a compact one, how'd I do?

>>1633185
That's pretty good by LIM standards.

>>1633172
>59 stars

Is this comfy enough for the contest?

>>1633196
We're going to invade Europe and split it up into 9 huge states

>>1633196
Lel I am too lazy to count them, did I fuck it up?

Must have looked at a bad flag picture

>>1633207

There's a star for each state. The US has 50 states so... kind of.

>>1633208
Must have supposed to be 6/5 for the rows then
Im from America

>>1633213

You lack patriotism, traitor.

>>1633198
Dammit forgot the fucking screenshot

>>1633217
I like it. Not sure about the neon green trees though

>>1633236
I was going to use the slanted wooden supports that is in the game, without any trees, but I noticed that the contest park doesn't have those (grr). I kinda like the neon green trees a little,though. I think that they are slightly out of place, but I think it's okay.

>>1633207
5 rows of 6 stars and 4 rows of 5 stars

>>1633185
I think its intensity is derived from the initial acceleration. I know in real life I was scared away from LIM coasters because I could not take the anticipation from the initial launch (though the rest of the ride was fun)

I'm actually a little proud of this. What do you think about it?

>>1633338
Stats?

Either way, it looks pretty good

>>1633338
It's damn beautiful.

>>1633338
Goddamnit Atomic, stop winning at your own contest.

>>1633339
Kinda bad, too much nausea. But I don't know if that's more or less normal on bobsleigh coaster.

>>1633338
mmm that's comfy as fuck

love the color combinations

>>1632836
I don't see any reason the excitement should be that high.

>>1633196
That mask is some weird hybrid of Obama and Reggie Fils-Aime.

How exactly do clearances work with 8cars?

It seems to break all my scenery

>>1633639
Zero clearances will allow you to build through existing objects (I've long forgotten the differences between relative and absolute. I always use absolute). You need to Restore Clearances afterwards to return things to normal.

>>1632724
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp8-4ACJDJg
Filename explains it.

>>1633338
The sunflowers. I swear they watch me

>>1633668
It's like someone has their foot on the brakes for the entire ride down.

>>1633642
Cool I decided to do this without messing without the clearances.

>I spent an hour to make this one building

>>1633668
Eh, needs more sanics.

First time heavily using custom scenery, I shat this baby out. Thought I'd try a jungle theme since I've never used the anaconda coaster before.

>>1633731
Aren't anacondas just reskinned corkscrews?
That's actually my main gripe with the new rides in the expansions, they're mainly reskins with ZERO other changes. Not even same ride different car so I can use saved designes.

>>1633668
Why is this a roller coaster? Why not just some seats on a boom that rotates and swings? The forces would be no different.

>>1633738
Hypercoasters, actually. And yeah, There isn't any reason why they couldn't have just made them a separate train like they did with stagecoaches on wooden coasters. At least they're nice for flavor I guess?

>>1633738
Yeah, Sawyer really had little involvement with the expansion packs for RCT2 I recall, and thus began the jewing by Atari by adding simply more out-of-place contrived scenery and repainted trains to make "new" coasters.

>>1633743
Because rollercoasters are more cool

so wait, what do I do with the extras folder? just drop it in the main game folder?

Soooooo. Fuck.
I apparently only get error trappers now, because of cable lift hills on Giga Coasters.

Plus I did this in the contest and lost a lot of scenery work.

>>1633592
I dunno man, you tell me.

This is going a little to fast for me. Gotta slow down.

>>1633986
I'm surprised at the direction everyone seems to be taking their park so far, guess mine's going to be rather... unique.

those crazy Russians man

Stupid question, I don't think I officially signed up for Atomik's contest. Should I throw my name on the list or what?

>>1634208
I think you should just download the map and start work on it.

If Atomik tries to tell you you're required to put your name down for it or anything I'll slap him on skype.

>>1634212
But I have begun work on it >>1633731

>>1634223
Fair enough. I'm still pretty surprised that people are only looking at the scenery and ignoring all other available options. I guess it's a bit overwhelming to those who aren't used to custom scenery.

>>1634229
You will never get me to use pathways as roofs.

>>1634231
I'm talking about the landscaping / water tools.

I'm on year 7, haven't touched anything but those 2 yet.

>>1634234
In my defense I just did the mountain in the no borders collab. I didn't feel like dooing something terain intensive again.

>>1634284
Fair enough, had thought I was still talking to chrome dome. People need to quit jumping into convos like that.

>>1634284
You're offline on Skype btw, was kinda waiting so I could show you a WIP of my own park.

Would anyone happen to know where a save or real park scenario featuring Holiday World/Splashin' Safari exists? It would be fun to play around with for shits and giggles.

Remember all the Jew-themed OP posts? We need one for all you scenery autists now.

>>1634292
Sorry mang, I ducked out for some sleep. Given the way the anaconda ride turned out I think I may work with terrain first for my next rides, I had cool ideas that didn't turn out how I wanted for it.

Do I need a skype for the competition or just an email

>>1634949
You don't really need either, just time, effort and some sort of name to identify it / you by.

>>1634564
Is there a zip of these?

>>1635109
I only saved a few.

>>1635115
Post plox?

I think that's all that I saved. I do have a few more images I saved from old /vr/ct that I could post since the thread is slow on Tuesdays anyway.

>>1635123
It's either I forget the image or the quote.

>>1633639
If you want to just do some scenery stuff always go with relative clearance, do your stuff and restore the clearance right after. Save every time before you do anything with it.

Some stuff that you have to force harder like building paths anywhere, forcing a coaster to go trough itself is done with absolute, but it fucks up more than relative.

>>1635149
Holy fuck my sides

I'm debating whether I should call this ride "Splendid Man" or "Splendor Man". It's going to be a Haunted Mansion/Ghost Train style ride with our favorite skeleton greeting visitors from atop a castle of sorts. The Skeleton is going to be what the coaster is referring to.

>>1635614
Mr. Bones Wild Buckets

Anyone have any advice on how to theme/scenery-build a park.

I made this >>1633678 and then I got stuck and went back to a different scenario

I just cant get inspired. Advice?

Pic kinda related, made this coaster in the meantime (Its kinda shit, but its very reminiscent of a coaster I rode once with my mom and the memory is dear in my heart so ratings be damned)

>>1635568
Looks more like a city park than an amusement park.

Added a rocky tunnel thing.

>>1636724

shame the statue was found out to be nothing more then plastic prop

>>1636674

why would you get these over the GoG release though?

>>1636781
GOG is DRM free, so I'm sticking with that one.

>>1636790

Old games on Steam are usually DRM-free as well. All Steam does is make a shortcut launcher to the game's original .exe that adds the overlay but you can easily just launch the game from its install folder without it needing to go through Steam at all.

>>1636803
also I bought it from GOG so no point repurchasing it.

>>1636775

wot? It's very much real but depicts Eannatum, a Sumerian king. Leave it to /pol/ to be historical revisionists though.

How do I corkscrew

>>1636937
you dont want them going through a corkscrew at high speeds. the slower they're going the better it is

>>1636937
By not taking corkscrews at 50mph, you blithering imbecile.

>>1636937

I'm just looking at my ride options for the competition park now and the mine ride confuses me. Does it not have lift hills? How are you supposed to make it work?

>>1637026

I don't know, the one near the bottom of the list I've never seen before just called "mine ride".

I've never encountered one in RCT before. I've been lift hills and powered launches, never anything else.
I've no idea how to make good use of it even.

>>1637054
Is this that one Erode Park or whatever? I've been meaning to tackle that one and have no clue how to start.

>>1637059
Keep it close to the ground with a viarety of banked turns. Make it at least 2 rounds. Shit is actually fun to ride irl.

>>1636679
>No negative reviews
Mah niggas.

>>1637026
Tons of helixes and scenery.

>>1637054
>helix right off of a lift hill
Absolutely disgusting.

>>1637054
Speaking of racing coasters, where's the anon who made that Arctic themed 8 coaster racing coaster?

>>1637193
Trick question, that was made by Lunatim.
http://www.lunatim.com/lunaland/2parks/2parks.htm

>>1637203
Excuse my ignorance.
That's a damn fine coaster though, I wish I could design a simple coaster.

>>1637208
Lunatim's website is full of really cool stuff. Maximum autism. But it hasn't been updated in a few years.

Best ride in the park

>>1637224
FUCKING NO SCREENSHOT

God do I hate how Gigas/Hypers lose so much momentum. Gotta make the hills -40ft each, -60 if there is a turn

>>1637274
I find myself putting in block sections in odd places when I'm not sure just how much speed the trains have.

I might have gotten a little overboard with foliage

>>1637226
Would unga bunga

>>1637571
10/10 comfy

>>1637571
Thats a good nublar forest replica m8

>>1637571
aww, those poor little kids that will go down the slide and grind their butts right across the dirt path :(

if only they had a nice sandbox to land in...

Tunnels'n'shit.

>>1637805
>Not falling into the dirt

I cant think of a slide ever in my life that had anything but dirt below it

>>1637889
the braindeads in charge of our playground back in elementary school replaced our nice sand playground entirely with woodchips, even the slides

Gardening up the picnic area. Thoughts?

Gardening up the picnic area. Thoughts?

>>1637939
really cozy, I like it.
I saw that deleted post

I don't normally make waterfall mountains, how does it look so far? Also how to keep guests from getting pissed in a 14 minute queue line without TV spam?

>>1637998
Entertainers and queue line TVs, shorten the damn queue, speed up throughput.

>>1638003
Shortening the queue isn't really an option due to the geography. If I dump like three entertainers will it work? I have one already that doesn't seem to be doing much.

>>1637998
Lamps, entertainers. Also step up your efficiency. Old /vr/ct decided that lamps on a queue do help a tiny bit.

Do you guys usually just build coasters mid-scenario, or in the designer?

>>1638253
I do mid-scenario, usually there's something geographical that would be hard to emulate in the designer.

>>1638253
Mid-scenario. Unless there is a time limit. Then i usually just plop down prebuilts.

>>1638253
Always custom mid-scenario. I almost never plop a pre-built design down.

Im pretty much done with my contest entry. Only doing some smal stuff. So I built Eurostar a no longer traveling coaster.
I already saw someone do it in rct3 but dont remember for rct2.

>hire three entertainers to work the queue line
>check back in less than five minutes
>see this

Holy shit you guys weren't kidding.

>>1639084
He said, forgetting-the-image-ingly

>>1639084
I think it helps if the entertainers wear different costumes too.

>>1639143
I have a gorilla, a tiger, and an elephant. Are there custom entertainers like there are custom scenery objects?

>>1639168
I haven't come across any.

>>1639170
Damn shame.

How does this look as a mountain/river? Still gonna add scenery and terrain changes.

>>1639323
It looks bland as it is. Needs more scenery/landscape variations. Something more than grass, rock, and water.

>>1639323
How are you getting the borders to go away?

>>1639323
I'm glad I'm not the only one doing landscaping, so I'm not feeling left out.

I'm not really sure what to do with this whole area under the rollercoasters.

>>1639381
Do you HAVE to do anything with it?

>>1639032
>tfw it was in my town for a fair but when I was there I was too sick to ride it
fuck mang

Guys...
I just dumped the window mode INI and DLL into another one of Chris' games (Locomotion) and it worked.

just thought you'd like to know.

>>1639391
Right now it's just trees I plopped down unevenly. I'm going to make it look more like a forest.

>>1632836
>never browse /vr/
>looking for some RCT nostalgia
>come see this

what the fugggg:DD

I like this.

>>1639340
I plan to do that still.

>>1639356
8cars.

>>1639463
>them stats
I like.

>>1639363
If the map was a bit bigger I would have made the mountain bigger with another layer of waterfalls for the ride to coast through.

>>1639463
q sexy

>>1639481
The map size was quite challenging. I think the hardest part was making a good set of rides for the park... and making them actually fit inside.

And the award for the most unrealistic Giga goes to

>>1639586
good god

>>1639586
>that whole back corner having absolutely zero support
I'd ride it.

>>1639586
You know, Bumbly Bazaar just isn't the same without a gigantic sprawling giga.

>>1639625
Agreed. I hope to finish my Bumbly Bazaar for good tonight

It's kind of odd how RCT2 limits the 6-seat wooden coaster trains to 4 cars when there's many examples in real life where they can have 6 cars. 4 is just the most common.

>>1639832
>tfw 8cars doesn't add more cars in Win7
It hurts.

When openRCT2 comes out do you think anyone who's really crafty will make a procedural scenery rater that scores your scenery on theme and color and other things so that it makes a bit more sense rather than just 40 scenery pieces per ride or whatever it was?

>>1640091
Probably.

Im sure you can attach different values or something to each TYPE, and have it so that if there are a ton of scenery pieces with the same value the +excitement gets weighted slightly more heavily

Then again I could be talking out my dick

>>1640091
What's the actual formula for it now anyway?

>>1640091
Would be difficult to do right. It would likely reward random piles of garbage cast in matching colors. Perhaps if it scaled from "poor" being monochrome single item spam to "excellent" being only five different objects (an object being an item/color combo) with anything more complex than that being a matter of actual aesthetics rather than min-maxing vomit.

>>1640112
I imagine it would need a lot of testing and rebalancing to be a properly working, reliably believable mod

It could use things like complementary colorsand other color relation formulas to make sure things "match" and it would only rely on colors if the theme check fails
it would probably have several iterations of checks to see if pieces "match" overall that would progress from most important to least important etc
fuck maybe I should just make the fucking thing but I can't code for shit

Decided to experiment with using track as scenery, something I don't normally do. Thoughts?

>>1640149
>croconigger

>>1640149
It's an awning. With holes. Looks okay I guess.

>>1640149
I really like that actually. Maybe you could play around with adding some bushes or something on the roof to give it an overgrown feel

>>1640154
That's a bit of an inside joke between me and my roommate about [/spoiler]pic related's theme in Sonic Generations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrZheGlae44[/spoiler]

>>1640156
If monster trucks were an available ride I would have tried adding them on top, although I was going for more of an open building anyway.

>>1640164
Still wanna add more scenery around there, I'll keep that in mind.

>>1640107

Muh new park.

>>1640398
It looks very well organized, I like that.

>>1640398

is this that no collision thingy on 8 cars or am i missing something really basic? It looks pretty darn sexual.

>>1640986
It is 8cars. You do it with Map Object Manipulation, lowering scenery into place. Note that it is rather graphically glitchy as the game uses sprites, not 3d models.

>>1640992
Ah i see. so great for screenshots but does that flickering when you play?

>>1640993
Yup.

Made a scenario, should be pretty comfy as it's pay per ride. If you play it post some screenshots - I'm interested to see what people do with it.

Download here - http://www68.zippyshare.com/v/6793917/file.html

>>1641046
Another screenshot.

On its eerie atmosphere*

>>1641046
...and an overview. The rest of the land is for sale.

>>1641046
/v/ pack? I don't intend to actually play it, I was just curious what that ride past the Ferris Wheel was.

>>1641046
Did you forget it?

>>1641069
Steel wild mouse

>>1641084
Yeah. Well actually I didn't even know about that. Let me know if anyone wants to play it and I'll update it?

>>1641089
You should update it for the quiet lurkers anyway. As it is, nobody can open it but you.

>>1641097
Yeah your right. Here's the new one - http://www11.zippyshare.com/v/90392915/file.html

>>1641048
Thanks, I've changed it.

>>1641107
*You're, I mean

>>1640998
yea. I'm not sure if its worth it. shit gets to glitchy Off to find new ways to make neat scenery. that 252 item limits a bitch though, especially when trying to use custom scenery, does anyone else get a "too many objects selected" error when selecting scenery sets?

>>1641150
same poster different computer

i get it even if i havent hit the 252 limit yet

>>1641160
i miss when we had 100 posts a day

>>1641046
I think I'll try this out.

I really like the old, dilapidated park theme.

No shitty backwoods amusement park is complete without a Togo ride.

>>1641601
>TOGO coaster
>no 10+ intensity and nausea

There really is no way to make these good, huh?

>>1641610
Changed it. It has a slow motherfucking lift, and brakes that slow you down from 34 mph to 13 in one second. All that's missing is an unnecessarily long helix and it would be the perfect Togo jet coaster.

>>1641617
i think i've gotten em' above 7 excitement but thats about it. they're easier to work with than stand up coasters, but not by much.

>>1641650
"Complete these 5 coasters with 7.20 or above excitement" with only TOGO coasters custom scenario when?

>>1641670
Oh god. I think this needs to happen.

>>1641675
im makin a scenario for this

>>1641690
So what are some Togo coasters? Stand-up, looping, heartline, corkscrew....

For some reason I can't save a game or scenario, has this happened to anyone else? Playing on windows 7

>>1641702
Better question, what are Togo coasters? Coasters by that company or what?

>>1641705
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOGO

>>1641702
i whipped this up from a previous landscape i made here are the coaster options i picked. anything i should add? also i've never made a scenario with this objective before. do i have to add unmade coasters to it?

>>1641724
Maybe throw in looping, corkscrew, and wooden coasters. I'll look into seeing what other rides they made.

>>1641724
Oh, and steel wild mouse.

>>1641747
i was thinking wooden and looping would be too easy, but i could do a building height cap to make things more difficult. also i think i have to scrap this map, i used 8cars and now the scenery is all glitched out

>>1641757
definitely will add this

>>1641762
Well, Togo definitely made wooden and steel looping coasters. Do you want to go for realism or difficulty?

Oh my god. Togo build a hypercoaster with inversions. Why why why.

>>1641704
Another proof that Windows is fucking basic in security and anti-malware.

You have to run the game through the "Run as Administrator" option.

>>1641807

tried that, still nothing

>>1641775
shit. im having trouble creating this scenario i cant seem to get my saved games to convert to landscapes, i.e i cant add the coasters to the map. Is there a way around this? is there a way to place rides in the scenario editor? Am i missing something obvious? also if i can figure out how to get it working how about this for a coaster selection.

>>1641817
Is there a way to force an inversion on a hypercoaster?

>>1641813
Then perhaps you'll have to do that, and store saved games outside of Program Files.

>>1641819
If you force it in 8cars, you'll get graphical glitches. The hypercoaster train wont have inversion animations.

>>1641819
i dont know but i've ridden son of beast when it had the loop.

>worlds only wooden hypercoaster
>worlds only looping wooden coaster
>mfw it was torn down

>>1641831
Maybe we can force a 200-foot corkscrew coaster then.

>>1641869
I think that's a good idea. Managing to keep it from getting too intense with all that speed should prove interesting.

>>1641827

Finally got it, windows was blocking the file apparently

Neat.

How do I make full-scale screenshots? Do I really have to stitch screen captures together?

>>1641912
It's either that or zoom out.

>>1641912
damn, that un-banked turn at the beginning and still having acceptable lateral gs. although the excitement isn't too great if you made it a bit longer and added some scenery, you'd have a decent coaster there

"Blackbeard's Lost Treasure Train (1999) at Six Flags Great Adventure has trains composed of 20 cars."
Fucking comical.

I just shat out a test hyper corkscrew. 215ft. 7.20 excitement should actually be fairly easy, even with the enormous speed.

>>1641949
I wonder if anyone's ridden it enough to determine precisely which seat is best.

>>1641949
fuck that ride. fuck that ride so hard. I've been on almost every roller coaster in the east coast and that one hurt my neck the worst by far.

>>1641971
I've actually rode one rollercoaster enough to tell which seat is best. But not something with 20 cars.

I put all the files into the main folder but the windowed hack isn't working

>>1641617
Not without making them obscenely long with wide turns everywhere.

>>1642242
is that a generic stand up coaster. if it is hats off to you sir.

captcha:glorify workpora

>>1642249
It is, part of the 5 corners scenario. Attempt it if you want, it's a thankless scenario that doesn't give you a congratulations after beating it.

>>1642260
I remember you talking in a previous thread about it, and you said that you edited the parts that shouldn't be edited. Maybe that's the reason.

>>1642264
No, that was after beating it unedited in >>1642260
. Even then, the only thing I changed was removing the spiral slide so it wasn't there upon loading the scenario. Pic related was the edited one, which also didn't work. My theory is that it's the water coaster but I'm not going to alter that.

I'm done with my park. Dumping some screens, also I named everything like shitty generic german names because I couldn't think of anything

>>1642289
>>1642293
Oh shit, the deadline for this is in a few days isn't it?

>>1642301
Monday sometime, who cares about a few hours. If you want we also can add some time until the deadline, I'm just already done with it.

>>1642312
Nah it's cool, I'll just submit whatever I have done by then.

>>1642273
Okay.

>Atomik will win his own contest

>>1642383
Not on my watch.

So, who can guess how many guests are in this queue line?

>>1642408
93

>>1642408
55.

I like it

>>1642531
Lel forgot the stats

>>1642531
That looks like fun to ride.

Current progress, still got a lot of work around this area. Definitely gonna redo the track on the roof, it looked better in my head than how it turned out.

>>1642627
black mamba better be one motherfucker of a ride boy

>>1642674
It's somewhere in the upper part of the thread, I don't feel like searching for it. I debated painting the rides in the color schemes of each character but it looked too jarring. I would have made it bigger in a normal park but here I've decided to opt for a large number of small, compact coasters. Or at least attempt to, anyway.

How is air time defined? Between 0 and -1 gs?

>>1642383
NO SO FAST!

>>1642816
You are gonna provide close-ups of that monstrosity, right?

abandoned theme parks are spoop as fuck
I hope there'll be a mod that adds rust and paint chipping when freeRCT comes out

A little zoom.
>Spookynes for the Spooky God!

>>1642408
180

if there's 40 paths like I think there is and there are 4.5 guests per path tile then 180 guests would fit in a full line

(and it looks like it's missing a couple of guests so maybe 179 or 178

Can someone remind me what was special about how RTC 2 was made? also why hasn't anyone done a re-release?

How do I stop RTC 2 from pausing while in the background?

>>1642882
RCT1 It was coded from zero by Chris Taylor, so thats fucking A+, and well Its basically RCT2 is 1 but improved.

Just imagine a new RCT developed with an engine like this.
