I think my new will be on dinky parks for a while

So when is the contest officially over?

>>1647824
new focus*

I like that the OP picture is always foremost green, helps finding the thread immensely.

As for the contest: The only save missing is the one without name. I'm assuming you dropped and we can start the strawpoll?

>>1647858
>what is the catalog search

>>1647858
If you're talking about Lerou, this happened.
>>1647494

Okay, I'm now posting a screenshot of every park. I hope as much people as possible vote even if you're too lazy to download the maps from the spreadsheet.

1 - Atomik

2 - Fridolin

3 - BlueBalled

4 - Creeping

5 - Posterfig

6 - Amplify

7 - Hemicentetes

>>1647906
>Looking at my own park.
>Notice the Dodgems entrance building peaking through the roof in the large Tudor house.
Fuck

inb4 the strawpoll yields 7 votes, each for a different park

>>1647919
I can nitpick too.

And finally here is the Strawpoll:

http://strawpoll.me/1763041

I'm already happy we got so many different, really nice looking and creative parks.

>>1647932
What criteria are we judging these park on?

>>1647939
Probably which one you like best.

>>1647939
Whatever you want, really.

>>1647932
Might be worth pointing out that voters can take an in-game look here. (green table)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhGqM6X4U4_MdEVFYU83ZGVwRm9DVno0ZWdXbUkwRkE&usp=sharing#gid=0

Just started playing again yesterday, does this coaster look any good? (disregard the retarded name and color scheme)

>>1647949
It looks silly, but it's compact. I kind of like it.

It depresses me that I could never make anything as comfy as any one of those parks.

>>1647932
They're all so pretty, good job guys.

How about in an insane twist, instead of comfy parks we attempt to make the most uncomfy parks imaginable.

>>1647973
Huh, Posterfig is getting a lot more votes than I'd expected.

>>1647981
Didn't mean to quote.

that was tough to choose. you guys all did some good stuff.

>>1647981
I voted for something else, but Posterfig's was probably my second favorite.

Honestly all the parks look great. The creativity is there, and so is the execution. We have some really fine players here on /vr/. If /v/ and /vg/ still have RCT threads we should go head to head some time.

>>1647949
You should make that corkscrew turnaround into a cobra roll and slow down the launch a little to get the lateral gs through the corkscrews down.

>>1648020

Haven't unlocked the half-loop yet (this is RCT 1, mind you), so I can't do a cobra roll. Slowing down the launch helped though

>>1647949
I miss those "wall"-style vertical faces. RCT2's scenery system technically made them redundant but it was always a great way to make quick, easy buildings.

i liked all of them. atomic, frido and creeping all look comfy as hell but still look vastly different from each other. blueballed built amazing coasters, as is expected of him. His park to me looks the most, "classic RCT" if that makes sense, bright colors and great coasters. ultimately i picked posterfig, he really had the most out there concept, and i think it came together really well, very unique

Great work all of you. i dont have a reaction image folder, but imagine a smiling guy with a thumbs up.

The poll might actually be a sufficient census for /VR/CT. Lets see how many we are.

I voted Fridolin on account of the excellent buildings (small, varied and attractive), the pathing layout, and the simple but lovely coaster.

>>1648079
I don't like those beyond vertical drops. I wish we could do vertical lift hills in rct, though, as that makes a delightful simple looping coaster.

>>1648085
Oh good, so I'm not the only one!

Even though the layout of the coaster isn't the most aesthetic one in the contest, the support structures came out excellently and the drop to underground followed by that tunnel exit is too beautifully executed to ignore. I love the cute and varied architecture too. Fridolin's park manages to avoid that "giant blob buildings" pitfall and keep its structures realistically sized.
To me, it's the park I can most imagine myself actually seeing from the ground. It feels so real to me.

>>1647913
For those who don't know btw, the only reason I built any rides at all is because it was mandated by the rules to have at least two.

I wanted to go batshit crazy with the landscaping etc and that's what I did.

I'm looking forward to participating in the next contest.

Well shit, this is a nice surprise. I'm glad people like my park! I wasn't sure if I should vote for my own so I went with another one.

It's been really interesting seeing the results of a contest with this degree of freedom. I like to think each contestant's entry is a reflection of their personality.
I wonder what kind of stuff we would get from a slightly stricter contest, i.e. a park with an objective, or tighter rules on permitted rides, scenery etc.
At any rate, I look forward to taking part in future contests.

>>1648192
So, why are you not part of the no borders collab park project yet?

>>1648215
What is the no borders project exactly? Rules, etc.
I might have missed a thread or two.
Should I just add my name to the existing no borders list?

>>1648282
It's a park we started last year, basically it's a collab park except there are no borders between everyone's part, hence the name.

All of us get together on skype (text only) and discuss what could be added to the park next and generally take it in turns to add bits while discussing ideas with each other.

The park itself is 75x75 and has as much custom scenery as the competition park did, only it's mostly industrial themed instead of jungle themed.

>>1648301
Sounds like fun, added myself to the spreadsheet.

You know, back when I was younger I always just used to use cheat codes for a shit ton of money just to make random crazy coasters. I should really sit down and actually play the game properly for once.

Should I play 1 or 2? And I should probably play unmodded at first, huh?

>>1648561
>RCT
>money cheat codes
wat

>>1648574
There was some cheat I remember where everytime you pushed a certain key it would give you like $1000 or $2000 instantly.

>>1648579
Taking out loans isn't a cheat.

Here is a closer view if you want it, it's a little out of date though.

That is incredible. Could we get a closer look at the mansion, please?

>>1648710
Which part do you mean?

>>1648714

>>1648682

The large brown and black building on the right of this image. I'd like to see the entrance to it more closely.

>>1648716

>>1648736

>>1648736
>>1648738

Amazing.

>>1648561
General consensus is that you should get both if you can, but 2 if you can only get one of the games. RCT2 has a scenario editor, and there's a fuckton of good parks out there, and all of the RCT1 parks have been remade in the game.

Anyone have any interesting features they're hoping will be able to be implemented in OpenRCT2?

I'd like a layer isolate feature where you can only view certain Z layers of the map, so if you have a building floating above something, you can load just the number of layers it's in and nothing else, it might have like a start layer and end layer so you can load multiple isolated layers

So for the person who wanted to see my park this is all that exists.

Hey im on the waiting list. But I do not have this mountain in the map that I downloaded

>>1648996
If someone else still has the map then the download won't be up to date with their changes.

i cant decide what to stick here. i was thinking of a minetrain coaster running through the hill but im unsure

How do I use the scenario editor to edit an existing scenario (changing it from free entry to pay entry, etc)

It's been so long I've forgotten

>missed the contest
What else did I miss? Maybe I'll work on my entry in my free time just for shiggys and diggys.

>>1647797
hey coasterfags, is there an "unlock all rides/research" trainer for RCT2? The savegame editor doesn't seem to do this like it did for RCT1, and 8cars doesn't do it either.

>>1649329
Also the TRG trainer from OP doesn't seem to work on Windows 7 x64, it just sits in the task list doing nothing

>>1648039
And here you go.

>>1648996
Nigga, how about you get on Skype?

Anyone know a tool to extract single objects from scenery groups? Or at least get the bitmaps out of them?

>>1648771

great idea
to add to that, a toggle to make paths invisible

Also,
>Make your own custom scenery tabs for scenarios
>Button in ride window that makes ride invisible or visible again
>Ability to toggle invisible path on visible
>For walls and tracked rides, a repeater function, you input the number of times you want the ride part to be repeated and it will build it for you, so you don’t have to keep clicking to build Mr Bones, and for walls it will stack the wall up how many times you wanted, can stack horizontally and vertically to create large buildings really fast. Would be great for painlessly building long supports too.
>Can save terrain and shops along with ride just like how you save scenery and paths with a ride
>Real time multiplayer mode, assign land to each player that only they can use, then host server, can be passworded, there's a button for list of all servers on the main menu. So basically our co-op parks but in real time.
>Can disable automatic supports for coasters/rides
>Make your own custom supports, then save them, and you can make it the default support for rides and it would replace the default supports with yours, can assign specific support layouts to different track pieces
> Improved ride customization, like adding railings for the track, or changing a flat ride's ground to metal instead of the brown floor, and adding colorable flashing lights to rides
> Zoo Tycoon animal sprites modded in as staff so you can build a zoo

>>1649625
I like a lot of these, I can imagine some useful minitools being the first mods to come out for ORCT2 because of the functionality they'd give, especially things that control the visibility of certain things, cause the visibility controls are a bit clunky as they are

Posting for Frido, easier than imgur.

>>1649336
>>1649329

Anyone? I'm using the GOG edition... the "triple thrill" pack.

Can't find working trainers.

>>1649889
8cars

>>1649896
I want one that can unlock all rides/scenery/research

In RCT1 you can use the savegame editor for this but the RCT2 savegame editor is really limited.

I didn't get the chance to save it but really liked that compact looping coaster called Anaphylaxis, and didn't save the image of it, could someone repost that, if they did save it, or if the maker is here?

No but I did get Cheetos

so many times i have opened a picture in these threads, and then without thinking, tried to scroll around like in game. its crushingly disappointing every time.

Oh boy time to get back to these threads.

>The most difficult part is the first one

>>1650025
What type of coaster is this? I thought it was corkscrew or steel but how do you get the ascending banked turns that aren't "helix up"s?

>>1649924
So... is anyone here using the GOG version and can get TRG to work?

>>1650169
Nope

>>1650167
Steel looping. Also, RCT1 doesn't have inclined banked turns.

I hate RCT because none of the cool coasters people make are actually real and I'll never experience them

>>1650201
RCT coasters aint got shit on real coasters.

Now, the stuff people make in Newton 2 and NoLimits (>>1650146) - that's a different matter. I've been meaning to look into that. Perhaps as/after I build my own simpler version as a programming project.

>>1650201
Why not get a job, and make these coasters in real life?

>>1650181
Halved the number of Cars per train and it came out as a passable ride

>>1650227
Did you consider block section mode?

>>1650247
No because I am retarded and not sure how that works/what it would help

I've never found the optimal pathing in these games, peeps always get lost. Do double paths ever work?

>>1650334
My game has hundreds of coasters listed and won't allow me to choose more than 128 in scenario builder

>>1650343
They do in RCT2, but you still need to be careful with the layout of your park.

Consult this for in-depth info.
http://www.rctmart.com/fossil/PathingSystems.html

Why is my park rating so shitty guys? On every scenario before this I've managed a constant 850+.

>>1649128
Since it's the beginning of the park, I tend to ut older-style rides like woodies (or even your minetrain coaster suggestion) and work with modern rides toward the back.

>>1650359
Still really early on. You've got fewer than 100 guests, so your parks is very new. Give it time, it'll go up on its own.

>>1650359
>July, Year 1
>59 Guests

You just started. Give it time. Park ratings averages all guests-in-your-park's happiness.

>>1650349
You have to only select 128, but that should be enough really.

That's the thing I hate about RCT the most and want to have it fixed in one of the new versions - unlimited scenery and ride selection

>>1650504
That and how the scenery selection window fucks up if you have over 5000 .DAT files or some shit.

General questions, what are some of the better workbenches to use? I assume the good ones are somewhere on nedesigns?

>>1650606
I found this one to be quite good, still don't really know how to use it right. If I'd make a new contest that would be the bench I guess.

O-Oh. That was my first suspicion, but for some reason I thought those things had nonzero intensity and lower maximum excitement with maxed out scenery tiles.

>>1650797
L-lewd!

>>1650756
Have at least SOME shame, man.

I built the tallest woodie i could. stats didn't turn out as well as i expected. but ive never been able to build on with a drop that goes all the way down before and not have insane g forces

>>1651128
built an even bigger one, i might try to make it longer with more turns and stuff, to see if i can boost excitement

>>1651209

Do you guys jack up your food prices for insane profit margins?

>>1651430
Eh, I don't fuck with food that much. Usually a dollar profit tends to suffice.

>>1651430
I do low, $1 profits for food items, even lower for salty foods like chickens and popcorn, THEN jack up the shillngs for drinks to about $3 profit.

And of course, when it rains, $20 umbrellas come pouring.

:^)

>>1651218

Complete the objective first, then tear stuff down and rebuild the way you want.

>>1651218
>intensity below 9

I'm surprised.

Even with Block Sections I cannot make balanced Corkscrew

Neither could Chris

>>1651520
That looks really tall for a corkscrew.

>>1651430
It depends on the situation, but I'll raise the prices on most food and drink by a few cents every time. I only go overboard with umbrellas on rainy days of wet climate parks. I'll gouge the food prices on pay to enter parks too.

>>1651534
>umbrellas

reminds me, what's the best strategy for info kiosks?

>spam a couple near park entrance
>placed at intervals through the park

>>1651581
That's pretty much how to do it. You gotta have most guests nab a park map as soon as they enter, and spread a few kiosks through the park to sell umbrellas when it rains, since they usually grab maps first.

>>1651520
Reduce those G's.

>mfw a guest approaches my park with $100 in his pocket

>>1651445
I had a scenario where guests entered 100% thirsty and they wouldn't even buy drinks at $2 profit

maybe they were wise to my tricks

does anyone know a way to make the in game time run faster, be it trainer or what have you?

I'm the guy who posted the max length vintage cars in the last thread. i did a quick calculation and work out it would take about 50 hours to finish. i can't be doing with that.

Holy fuck the RCT generals are back.
I should check on /vr/ more often.

>>1651445
>even lower for salty foods like chickens and popcorn, THEN jack up the shillngs for drinks to about $3 profit

Those poor peeps.
"Did Satan create this park?"

Haven't played these games since I was way younger. Is it worth playing RCT at all these days or should I jut grab 2?

>>1652230
I'd say go for RCT2, no real downside and the scenarios from RCT1 are also there for you to download

>decide to see how much profit I can make out of goyim
>create and build up a massive park full of guests

>park fills up quickly

>nobody has an umbrella because they wouldn't want to buy one for $20 while it's sunny
>everyone flocks to the kiosks

good goy

>>1652323

>>1652230
RCT2 is pretty much the same game but with a slightly better engine, smoother animations, and more rides.

All the scenarios and rides from RCT1 have been ported to RCT2 either by fans or officially.

>>1652230
Grab RCT2. Since the scenarios have been ported over exactly, all you're missing is pretty much lower resolutions, the scenario progression of the first RCT's lists, and janitors mowing lawns.

Are there any good youtube videos that show to not suck at the game?

>>1652501

>>1652230
General consensus is to pick up RCT2 since you can download RCT1's maps remade in the game. RCT1 is cool if you can get both, and it's nice for nostalgia, but RCT2 is superior in almost every way.
>>1652608
>treating a waterslide like a rollercoaster
I'm curious to see the stats on this baby.

>>1652661
Scenarios in the scenarios folder, tracks in the tracks folder, custom objects in the objdata folder, windowed hack in the RCT2 folder. It's almost like it's been made to be as simple as possible.

>>1652648

Pretty decentish actually, the long straight sections slow the boats down really nicely.

My favorite part of this one though, is how perfectly the entrance is set up to allow people to hop on, get in and take off. There's a 4 second wait time on the boats, which is the bare minimum so they don't hit each other at the bottom of the 4th drop (the one totally covered) so this thing is a profit machine. Especially cause it's Bumbly Bazaar and hot as fuck.

>>1652671
>Maximum efficiency
I like you.

>>1652665
>>1652648

Here are the stats. I'll post the other coasters and custom rides from my Bumbly Bazaar in a bit.

Do you guys know a way to save the screenshots automatically in jpeg or something else that isn't a bmp? I haven't played RCT in a long time.

Here's King Cobra, the newest and biggest of the Roller Coasters. This one was kind of a back-of-the-park minimal scenery coaster near a shopping area named Pagoda Gardens, hence the minimal theming.

The most expensive ride in the park at $5, this is a huge profit machine as well.

This is Rumble in the Jungle, which ended up being a little more intense than I wanted it to be, but I didn't want to reconstruct because I did a really good job occupying a tight area with it, and it wasn't that bad to begin with. Those lateral Gs are a bit much, but I think it only peaks at one point, so it's not too big of a concern.

>>1652695
>Brian Wilson is on Cha Cha Slide

>>1652702
>Brian Wilson has joined the queue line for The Dig Site

>>1652707

I selected a bunch of guests to do some research on, and I ended up renaming them after the LA Dodgers, because I'm a huge Dodger fan.

Anywho, here's The Dig Site, which was the first large ride in the park, and was my first ever attempt at a mine ride. I'll post the stats in the next post. Most of this ride is underground, so you can't really see it, but it's surprisingly good for a Mine Ride.

That box that the coaster goes into at the back, behind the pyramid contains like 6 small down helixes. Fun.

>>1652684
I just printscreen with the windowed mode on and paste into paint, and trim away the excess.

>>1652712

Pretty fly for a mine ride.

Thing is broken down more than it works at this point though, so I cut it back to 2 trains to avoid the inevitable station brakes failure deaths, and lowered the price to like $3 since I'm raking in like 7k a month on other stuff.

Sorry I'm taking so long with the 3x3 collab park, guys. Busy with finals and "fun senior activities" our school has decided to shove down our throats.

>>1652714
You should know that if you press alt+prtsc, it will do that trimming for you.

>>1652731
Never knew that.

>>1652720
As the next person in line, thank you.

>>1652720
That mine train/haunted mansion is killer. Also, I'm going to cry if the collaborative hyper-twister isn't at least 8.5 excitement.

>>1652893
Given how much scenery and other ride tracks are near it I'd be very surprised if it wasn't.

>a ride I need to demolish for park remodeling is still at 100% popularity with 1500+ guests per hour

IT'S NOT EVEN THAT GOOD OF A COASTER PEOPLE COME ON

trying out a new staircase down the mountain

wish I had 1 more square to put in between the bridge and the stairs, but meh

also looking for scenery suggestions on the mountain path

>>1653261
That bridge might fuck you over in the long run. Not sure how the game handles z-axis/heights when it comes to routing guests, but x/y definitely matters.

I'm fucking bored. Someone give me a coaster type to dick around with. I usually only experiment with the vanilla four: Wooden, Looping, Wild Mouse, and Junior.

>>1653268
I'll make sure to leave it open to re-adjustment if problems arise

>>1653269
Multi-Dimension Roller Coaster

>>1653269
Work on the riskier, rolling-on-the-track types like bobsleds and side-friction and reversers. Get a handle for the feel and speed. Remember: anything over ~25 mph over hills is asking for a derailing crash.

>>1653271
I'd probably get rid of it, but it looks like offscreen on the right, it somehow connects to the tiled path you have below it connected to another. It might be fine.

>>1653280
Here's what the paths look like

all the brown stuff is mostly default paths that I'll be working on replacing with more efficient paths

>Ride X has broken down
>1 second later
>Ride X has crashed!
>Current breakdown: Brakes failure

Is there some sort of limit for base excitement in relation to ride length/time? I thought that making a coaster longer and longer would drive the excitement higher too at the cost of more intensity and nausea. This worked at first but at this point the coaster will not gain more points in exciment if i add more track elements to it.

>>1653324

Just put a 4mph brake before the station, ya dingus!

>>1653358
That has never worked.

>>1653358
All other brakes fail for some reason as well. At least they do in RCT1

>>1653360

Always worked for me in RCT 1. Or maybe my memory is a bit off. I don't know man

>>1653337
You've got quite a bit of lifts there. I think excitement is based on having continuous ride momentum, meaning not having slow parts such as lifts and mixing up combinations of drops, helixes, and banked turns/drops, etc. confined within the limitations of trains and their reduced speed with friction as they keep going along the track.

tl;dr keep the trains moving, have plenty of twists and turns, and it's sure to crank up excitement.

>>1653358
Station Brakes will affect all brakes of the ride. There's no escaping the damnation of it.

>>1653276

I do not understand this roller coaster type.

>>1653370
>E: 1
>I: 7
>N: 7

That's quite the finger to give.

I propose we have a coaster contest for best Multi-Dimensional Coaster.

>>1653370
what the hell? how is that possible?

>>1653375

I sure could use some pointers. I'm in favor.

Seriously, what the fuck?

>>1653382
I guess just putting yourself in the seat when it comes to seat angle. Personally, I find it hard to visualize in my head the degrees and imagining how it would feel to drop headfirst (0 degrees, I think) or feet-first (180 degrees...?).

I usually refer to X as a study model.

>>1653370
just opened up the coaster designer. seat rotation degree settings. how do i even? cant cope. i guess i'll just pick arbitrary settings

>>1653370
Are you having the seats spin around all the time? Better not do that. Here's one i build some time ago in an attempt to have a usefull Multi Dimensional Coaster that takes up little space.

>>1653382
>>1653394
>>1653395

http://www.rctmart.com/fossil/MultiDimensionCheatSheet.html

>>1653397
I didn't touch the seat rotation.

>>1653402
Nice. ty

>>1653362
that worked in RCT 1 because the breakdown was "Station Brakes Failure"

In RCT2 the breakdown is just "Brakes failure"

>>1653370
>>1653375
i got this, I'm gonna experiment for a while.

The highest rated Multi-Dimension Roller Coaster i've seen was at 7.60 excitement. I'm sure it belonged to the guy who made those 8 synchro coasters and was in one of his downloadable packs.

>>1653370
>Excitement rating: 1.46 (Low)

Spin has no effect on multi dimensional excitement.

>>1653450
holy shit
Chris, you got some 'splainin to do.

>>1653465
It would be a pretty difficult algorithm to implement well.

>>1653471
Ah well, give up and design it like a combination of flying coaster and wing coaster, then.

r8 my train

>>1653629
What map is that?

Why do people lie about RCT cheats? There's one supposed cheat where you shut down the park for a year and you're gifted a million dollars by some guy with a clipboard.

I just shut down my park for a year and got nothing.

>>1653639
Geoffry gardens

I think it's the "exact remake" pack of the RCT1 scenarios

Okay, trying out a Reverser.

Any more suggestions for coaster types?

>>1653641
"That one kid" time: RCT edition?

I remember reading some bullshit guest names that would supposedly give you loads of money on GameFAQs or some shit back then. All I knew were the Easter Eggs like Mr. Bean and Melanie Warn.

>>1653641

>>1653656
I haven't tried out the name things; but, I can confirm another "cheat" that doesn't work is pressing F then Enter + M for free $5k a month.

>>1653659
Yeah, I remember reading on Sawyer's site that he didn't even bother making cheats. Thank God a multitude of trainers and the Saved Game Modifier exists, and I bet those are just as basic as changing several lines in the Assembly code.

I'm almost finished with my collab square! Just a few touch ups that I'll do tomorrow and it'll be complete.

>>1653656
There was one that gave faster research but it was bullshit.

>>1653358
Putting proper brake runs in will greatly decrease the chances of brakes failures. Brakes work better the closer the train's speed is to the brake's retarding speed. None of the coasters I've ever built has had a brakes failure yet, except for a Shuttle Loop.

>>1653375
I am 100% down for a contest for these. I may even finish my entry on time if that happens.

Good news though, seat rotation is purely aesthetic. So unless you're going for style points they mean nothing.

>>1653812
I really dig that design. Wish I wasn't as bad as I am at making coasters

>>1653742
I'm pretty sure that brakes failures to not occur when using block section mode.

>>1653825
Too bad it's only viable with hacks, that lift goes up to 65mph before throwing it over.

>>1653826
In all my years of RCT, I have never had station brakes failure on a blocked ride. That's like their big advantage over non-blocked rides, among other advantages.

The Orchard Maze turned out quite nice

>>1653837
That's really neat. I like when people make themed mazes.

>>1653837
>tfw can't make decent mazes
I remember when I was younger I made one that covered half of the lake in Leafy Lake. The ratings were awesome but I think maybe 2 people ever made it out.

>>1653848
it was a bitch and a half to construct

also mfw I realized you can place lamps on queue lines

>>1653854
The point is to make it easy for the AI to solve while also looking good. Nobody is going to pay for a maze they can't enter because it's full.

>>1653863
Pretty sure I was 8 or some shit when I made that monster maze. One time I forgot to clear a wall right after they entered, so I had 16 people trapped in one tiny square for the entire scenario.

>>1653670
>changing several lines in the Assembly code
u wot mate

trainers work by accessing active memory

>>1653945
I'm just spouting out ignorant bullshit. Ignore me.

>>1654021
How could you possibly associate changes to data with code?

It is technically possible to hex edit an executable to change the code, but you need to work exactly what instructions to change at what memory offset.

>>1653870
I'm surprised the game lets you open mazes that unsolvable. But I shouldn't, since guest trapping is a very possible, very morbid reality.

>>1654123
I really can't think of a worse hell than being trapped in a 5'x5' square with 15 other people for three years.

>>1654130
At best, it's three hours until whoever opened the maze notices it ain't working. Have you ever been stuck somewhere for three hours... with 15 other people?

Which one do you want in your park /vr/ct?

>>1654039
I actually once changed some text in a game by modifying the exe in the editor. It didn't display what I wanted but I got rid of the original text and changed it to gliberish that was enough for the purpose.

>>1654182
2 looks most natural to me.

>>1654182
1 and 3 are most obvious of what you did, but 3 is the most realistic of the three to me.

Gonna have to see those animated.

>>1654182
How'd you do the background for the fall in 2, black mine walls?

>>1654189
I'm in the process of making No.2
Its a colorable waterfall with colorable backgroung so you can't see trough.

also ignore the visible land under the waterfall in 1 and 3. I fucked up there

>>1654182
i like 2 the most, but i could see all 3 having their applications.

1 i think would look good if you are trying to create a small, slower, stream or something and you wanted the illusion of less water coming down. Opposite of that i think 3 would look best if you were going for a big ass waterfall or something.

>>1654192
This guy says it, I think. They all have uses.

We can add No.2 to the v-pack when im done with it i guess.

>>1653656
I liked the guy fawkes firework editor and the james hunt buggie in 3 which were real

I cant remember how to spell them though, or if they have caps or not

>>1654460
Capital letters aren't required for cheats in RCT3, unless you are entering the same cheat in multiple times. Then each new cheat must be different from the previous cheats in terms of capitalization.

On a side note, I'm done with my collab square, and will be sending it to the next guy shortly. Just a warning though, all the rides are really old, and it might be a good idea to use a trainer to renew them.

hey guys,

i started lurking some days ago and decided to get RCT1 (like for the 101st time).

any recommendations on what patches/mods to get? Like window mode and stuff...

>>1654815
RCT1 should already be windowed.

>>1654815
Saved Game Modifier

I designed this collab park ages ago and I don't think I ever sent it off to anyone. Did I even name it?...

>>1654815
Not much honestly since it's mostly on RCT2.

Lunatim's Loopy Land has some coaster tracks for 1.

Why do people sneeze when they're in mazes?

>>1654996
Do you mean the jumping?
To see over the walls of course which doesn't seem to help them though.

>>1654996
Hay fever.

>>1655008

on that topic, peeps are terrible at mazes. I purposely have to make mine more simple because they get lost otherwise

>>1655018
I'm convinced the AI just random walks mazes until they find the exit.

>>1655142
Well that is true when the guests are randomly walking in the park. So I guess it might be true for the guests in mazes

On another note, now to get to work on the Collab park!

>>1654904

thanks !

>>1655008
That makes much more sense. All these years I thought they were just allergic to the walls.

>>1655175
That's a pretty cool and simple rollercoaster design. I like it.

>>1655184
I audibly chuckled at this.

Holy fuck, Multi-Dimension Roller Coaster are a pain to build. All G's in normal limit? HURR EXTREME ANYWAY FUCK YOU

>>1655267
oh good god

>>1655235

thank you kindly. I'm just getting back into the game and am amazed of the stuff you guys post here <g>

>>1655267

>>1655267
Remember that the game calculates stats for multistation rides as if its all one ride. You've built a five and a half minute long steadily intense coaster as far as the game is concerned.

>>1655303
That explains a lot, i've been trying to build a park wide coaster like in that one lake-based RCT1 park, and I wondered why that coaster in the park itself was so simple, it basically has to be. I thought I was doing something else wrong.

>>1655267
Try splitting that into two separate rides and post results.

>>1655326
Length is a big contributor to intensity, and in turn, nausea. Some coasters tolerate long tracks better than others.

>>1655326
>tfw want to build a transport roller coaster like Lucky Lake's
>INTENSITY: ULTRA-EXTREME-FUCK-YOU-COCKFAG

And here I sit, staring at the my colab section, wondering what the fuck to build.

Multi-Dimension Roller Coaster 2: Electric Boogaloo

>have $100k in the bank
>need to shut down the park and flush everyone out to make major renovations
>can't bring myself to give up the current ~5k/month trickle of cash

the merchant inside has finally won

Daily reminder that your coasters will never be this good.

>>1655542
I think I can live with that.

>>1655542
Despite the crazy stats, those rides look bland as shit and would be a nightmare to integrate into a park.

>>1655552
that ride IS the park

What's your preferred path style?

>>1655556
>park entrance and ride entrances are on completely opposite sides of the park
Guests will get too tired to ride them if you actually build a path from the entrance to the rides. I tried that with Lunatim's 9 lives park and all of my guests wanted to go home by the time they were half way to the rides. If the park entrance were by the ride entrance it would be much more feasible, but as is it's just silly.

>>1655558

The middle in the picture. Fuck the red path, it has no use whatsoever

>>1655558
Gray tarmac, middle two, and red only if I'm doing a themed thing at ground level.

>>1655558
I use pretty much everything except the green and red.

>Final loop
>Requires at least one person on the ride for a 100% chance of getting through it.
>Sometimes doesn't go through with no one on.

>>1655609
set it to wait for any load

>>1655332
Barely more exciting than >>1655521 but since it has 3 trains per coaster now, merchants would be a lot happier.

>>1655558
brown tarmac, wooden, crazy paving

>>1655558
I used to only use tarmac, but lately I've been using the gray crazy path. also dirt for shortcuts and around coasters to give the illusion paths for maintenance workers

>>1655609
Change track type to twister, add a launched lift hill for a little kick.

>>1655634
Would it be too much to ask you to upload them?

MECHANIC YOU FUCKED UP
WE KEEP A STRICT INSPECTION SCHEDULE AROUND HERE FOR A REASON

>>1655656
>he doesn't have a separate mechanic for every ride specifically set to only stay on the ride's exit path
I have separate ones for every ride, except for the smaller rides where I set each mechanic to a max of three rides.

>>1655656
>Not naming your rides
Fucking pleb /s

I also fixed the problem, I just slightly lowered the loop so it goes through the loop faster.

>>1655656

>>1655656
you gotta at least name your coasters if you post em' bro. small rides no one gives a fuck. when using the coaster designer a minor infraction. In an actual park its an atrocity

>>1655609

>>1655664
I mean to get around to it, I'm in the process of renovating the entire park

>>1655609
What on Earth? how fast is it going into that loop?

this is gonn' be fun

>>1655691
What the hell kind of ride are you designing?
Thanks doc

>>1655691
Prepare for ultra-extreme.

>>1655696
It's gonna be a 9 or above, calling it now.

>>1655647
I have never uploaded anything to Mediafire before so i hope this works. This is a zip with >>1655634 >>1655521 >>1653397 which are the only good Multi-Dimension Roller Coasters i have.

Try it now. It should be open for all now.

>>1655724
Works now, thanks broski.

been feeling like i build the same parks over and over. experimenting with some new layouts. what do you guys think of my main drag?

>>1655772
You don't have any issues with pathing for either guests or staff right?

>>1655772
can you post what your entire park looks like?

>>1655662

>not naming your mechanics based on their location or what ride/rides they're assigned too
Fucking pleb

>>1655772

I came.

>>1655772
what map?

>>1655696
>>1655695
>tfw only Very-High

>>1655825
Doc is crazy good for a LIM. I've never seen one with intensity less than a full point and a half above excitement.

>>1655772
More benches by the food.

>>1655825
>thanks pulls almost 6g
Probably that loop.

>>1655840
im pretty sure it was pulling 7 before i slowed it down

Someone give me a challenging coaster to build. I'm bored of woodies.

>>1655816
A map i made, Windy Mountains, it should be in the /v/ pack
>>1655837
the stalls are there until i build a proper food court

r8 my town
pls be kind

>>1655865

>>1655864
I fucking read that as mine ride coaster. Not sure how. Well here's this, time to make a mini.

>>1655887
The theming is great. Those monster trucks look kind of silly but everything else is cool.

So do I just ignore the fact that no one will ride a lot of the rides in the other sections? I mean it just feels uncomfortable seeing Skeletor and He-Man not getting rode by anyone at all.

I fixed the loop problem by lowering the final loop and extended a small part of the coaster. Here is what I have made so far.

On a scale of 1-10 how comfy so far (Minus the two potholes I dont have the cash to fix yet)

>>1655897
I love the fuck out of that thing

If I listed all the stuff available for the park I'm working on would you guys be willing to select what goes in the research pool and what is available at the start?

I don't think I can make an unbiased pool

>>1655897

that design is really satisfying

>>1655864
Meh.

>>1655935
Queue line TVs/10.

>>1655943
Sure, go for it. Not that I'll be any less biased, but at least it won't be your bias.

>>1655935

Looks like a concentration camp with all the TVs and minimal open space between the main path and queue lines. Like "BE HAPPY YOU'RE HAVING FUN THIS IS AN AMUSEMENT PARK"

I'm docking you a point for the weird color scheme on scenery and the floating mine houses as well.

Having the Haunted House right next to the entrance is unorthodox, but not necessarily a bad thing. That's something I'd put a little back from the main part of the park, with a bit of scenery.

The coaster is pretty alright, but I wish it were more flush with the ground since you're going for cozy. Giant concrete and metal supports aren't cozy.

Also, the GoKart layout looks kinda uninspired.

Overall, 4/10 on the cozy scale. Sorry anon.

>>1655935
replace every other que TV with a lamp

>>1655916
Lower the admission prices already.

>>1655935
Ride entrances are too far from the actual trains when they stop.
The density of the flat rides is cool, I like how they're close together.
I'd say you're of to a good start.

Rate my staffless park.

>>1655990
>>1655992
Thanks for the advice.

I think I will wait for a more flat park to go for comfy, cause this is a disaster already

Two questions.

Is there any WWII scenery packs for RCT 2, and are there any scenarios with them built in?

Perhaps models could be ripped from other games?

I would absolutely love to have a park with Panzers and Tigers and Shermans and Zeroes and such as scenery.

>>1655986
Thanks.
it might be a few posts since there's 100ish rides still selected

I'll sort them into categories first though

>>1656016
Crooked house 1 has broken down/10

It cant last forever

>>1656096
It CAN, and it WILL.
If anything, that mini helicopters will. I don't remember if they actually do break down.
I'm going to add a river raft and rowing boats next. Those never break down.

>>1656104
Anon

You underestimate the power of the impossible.

Started a new project, let's see how it turns out with all the custom stuff

>>1656130
Mazes and Mini-golf are the only ones that never brokes... I guess

What should I cut out or put into the research pool

>>1656151
Mazes break down. Minigolf doesnt.

If it has a maintenance tab, it breaks down. Minigolf doesnt have a maintenance tab. I don't know of any others like that.

>>1656185
HOW THE FUCK DOES A MAZE BREAK DOWN

>>1656205
Some fuckass guest pushes a wall over, probably.

>>1656205
Someone gets lost and dies somewhere in the depths.?

What is the actual message?

>Restraints stuck open

>>1656205
hedges need trimming, and for the other two types, station brakes failure.

>>1656218
>>1656185
The only time I've ever seen a maze break down is after using a savegame modifier to refresh rides. And in that case, the food stalls and restrooms all break down, too.

>>1656221

>station brakes fail on maze
>guests can't stop walking
>crash into each other in the exit
>15 people have died in an accident on Maze 1

>>1656331
Laughed harder than I should have.

OpenRCT wishlist.

>>1656331
>mechanic walks in to fix the maze
>confused, he sets down his toolbox
>he retrieves his mallet and whacks the ground five times

I'm trying to find my custom tracks on RCT2 but they just don't appear at all.

And when I look at them in the " save track" option, they have a lock next to them.

>>1656143
Where'd you get all the custom stuff?

Trying out Windy Mountain. Serious attempt here. Thoughts so far?

That is going to backfire immensely.

>>1656609
It actually has one due to the regular loop. Something like a corkscrew however would be hilarious to see.

What's everyone's favorite coaster they've ever designed?

>>1657205
Probably He-man's wild ride, in the collab park I recently did.

>>1657169
Perhaps he assumed people would go in to puke up?
They don't, right?

What is the de-facto Best™ settings for a Launched Freefall?

>>1657239
the problem with his bathroom placement is the AI pathing. peeps are going to decide they need to use the bathroom. if their pathing decides they need to use the bathroom behind the no entry sign, you might end up with hordes of peeps, bladders bursting, as they obediently follow the rules and dont cross under the no entry sign.

>>1657239
A bench would have done better. Besides, >>1657271 is completely right and that it creates a nightmare for pathing. It's already a high-traffic area.
