Carry-Over Topics:
Finally got a new thread
Suspended coasters and Drop Towers
the usual Comfy Park stuff.

First actual post for releasing test for new waterfall in the next couple of hours.

Reminder to save often.
the number of embeds in the thread OP is growing.

Why is this board called retro games and not rollercoaster tycoon?

not that I'm complaining

>>1661382
THE FIRE RISES

SHEY EXSPECT ONE OF USH IN THE SHTASHUN WRECKAGE

Did someone say scampoles?

this is after several years of running rather passively
kept it at $2

imagine the possibilities

>>1661464
Launched Freefalls can be set at $10 for 2 or 3 years. They are easily one of the best profit margin rides in the game along with the roto drop.

>>1661467
good to know

I shall use them to raise funds for my rock removal project

>>1661373
http://www.file-upload.net/download-8985545/FRIDOTST.DAT.html

For anyone who wants to test the Waterfall No.2 from last thread. I'll make a scenery group with other helpfull waterfall stuff later.

>>1661483
How does that implementation work, by the way? Three key colors that are replaced by the user's choices with shifting based on the key color shift?

>>1661493
Thats how i think it works.

How best should I relieve this overcrowding?
Keep in mind I'm trying to slowly reduce the rock to nothing

>>1661496
>that park rating

kek

>>1661501
shit I didn't even notice

>>1661501
>>1661496
>>1661502
fuck
at some point one tile in that long ramp got deleted
everyone was trapped

Oy vey it's a mass exodus
dis is like anoda shoah

>>1661505
It filters out the non-believerrs

>>1661509
their faith rebounds quickly

>>1661517
>Thunder Rock
good name
I suck at names

>>1661520
it's the fucking default name lel

also mfw blowing $10k/month on landscaping to chip away at this thing

>>1661521
;_;7

thanks a fucking lot Rock
one day I will destroy you
paths will be straight and lead to the most amazing rides in the world

>>1661594
Just amass funds and tear down large chunks of it instead of slowly eroding it while hobbling together shit up its face.

Wow, my two new Woodies are popular, what a massive stream of people heading for them.

>>1661672
Then tey all got stuck somewhere and the park rating dropped like a bomb

>>1659645
I tried.

>>1661681
Jesus Christ how horrifying

So I just reinstalled and I'm stuck at a tiny resolution and the save option doesn't seem to work? Any chance I could get a bit of help with this?

>>1661690
>save option doesn't work
[x] Run as administrator

Also, I made a thing.

>>1661690
Also, run this in Service Pack 2 compatibility mode and try selecting a resolution from the menu.

>>1661986
>those cars
They always looked weird as fuck to me

>>1661986
You know what I don't understand?
With the expansion packs, some new train types get filed in with already-existing roller coasters (The stage coach with the Wooden Coaster for example), but other train types become entirely new roller coasters instead, with no difference between the two other than the train.
It doesn't make sense.

>>1662019
It's supposed to make it look like there is more content in the expansion. LOOK AT ALL THE COOL NEW ROLLER COASTERS. WOW SO MANY. They probably didn't do it for every single train because it was too obvious even for them.

>>1662038
The RCT series expansion packs always seemed subpar compared to the games. Especially the weird scenery that didn't blend with the rest of the game.

I tried to comfy.

>>1662054
RCT1's expansions were very good, and are almost necessary to pick up. Which is probably why every single download has both packaged with the game.

RCT2's expansions were just a bunch of lame cars and a fuckton of scenery. The scenery is only good to a certain point anyway because of the item limits when making scenarios.
>>1662084
>that Enterprise line
pig fuck disgusting
The wooden coasters look good though.

>>1662084
>That Corkscrew

>>1662152
What this?

Name? Space/Greco-Roman theme.

>>1661986
Jesus Christ how horrifying.

>>1662084
It exists, I think it is/was at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

Hacks are fun.

>>1662180
Yes, that.

>>1662191
Can you imagine how rough a cobra roll would be if a traditional wooden coaster had one?

>>1662203
how do I fix.

>>1662225
Death

>>1662225
Completely agonizing?

>>1662186
Azure Poseidon
Or perhaps some lesser deity, preferably aquatic, that starts with an A.

>>1662231
Line could be shorter, you could break it up and put scenery around it, or even enclose it in a building. It looks really bare.

>>1662254
Aquarius

>>1662191
The Horror

Guys, be honest with me...

Are station fly-bys cancer?

>>1662272
No.

>>1662267
http://open.spotify.com/track/1TFUyBAIlE0sJ8fjEbZvKZ

>tfw no custom music in rct2

>>1662276
You know, I'm fairly certain there is a way. But you're limited to like 2.

>>1662272
They are breddy gud

>>1662186

"The Real Palm Shady"

>>1662186
>Space/Greco-Roman theme.
Apollo is an obvious one, but a bit cliche.
But it's a rollercoaster, so it's allowed.

>>1662272
Why would they be?

>>1662320
I feel like I do them too much, and that they are almost a waste of space.

I didn't intend on an aquatic theme but I liked it so I went with "Antediluvia" and spunked some uninspired scenery on it.

So tell me one thing guys. I absolutely love this game, there aren't many games I come back to as often as to this one but I honestly can't understand what is it about it that makes people flock to it so much. It's especialy visible here on /vrct/.
Why do you guys love it this much and can't get enough of it after all these years?

>>1662404
It's loads of fun, endless possibilities to let your creativity flow. Also the graphics aged well and it runs on every toaster.

>>1662404
Replay value. You can make maps, there's infinite combinations of track for every ride, and there's strategy to playing.

>>1662404
It has the perfect blend of being able to fuck around while still having goals in each scenario to progress towards. Not to mention this game is probably the defining game of my childhood, when I got the first one I would wake up at 5 in the morning just to play it for several hours before school started.

Also the fact that it will never have compatibility issues means I will never not have this game on my computer.

>>1662404
it's a rollercoaster sandbox, it runs on anything, it's a rollercoaster sandbox, designing scenery for a park is fun, it's a rollercoaster sandbox, and I like jewing people.

it's a rollercoaster sandbox

>>1662452
You should not forget that it's a rollercoaster sandbox

>>1662453
>>1662452
You guys are on the right track it, but we need to emphasize that it's a rollercoaster sandbox.

>>1662459
You forgot the part where it becomes a roller coaster sandbox, though.

Also, peep abuse.

Someone post a good Side-Friction Roller Coaster. What can people accomplish with those? Because i just noticed that the best one i have only has 5.77 excitement without pathways and scenery spam.

>>1662272
>woodies without flybys
Do you even GCI?

>>1662464
>imminent balloon storm inbound

>>1662523
u wot

>>1662225
I felt completely out of loop when I found out that wooden coasters these days have barrel rolls (see: Hades).

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hades_360

>>1662624
I just want overbanked turns in rct.

>>1662452
>and I like jewing people.
I need more games like these, specially if they can be played on a PSP.
I regularly have a 2 hour bus trip, which is the best time to take all the shekels out of the virtual goyim.

>>1662404
I absolutely love to create things and this game gives you so much freedom

You don't even want to know how much Minecraft I played from the day creative mp started

>>1662663
those are some sexy colors and shapes

http://youtu.be/UMl0yaVUKPw?t=1m8s
These twists and turns are so arousing.

>>1662663
Are those fences the chain-mesh from Zoo Tycoon?

So when you end up using thousands of sprites to represent your rollercoaster cars, is it more space efficient to actually make a 3d model and rotate it instead of using sprites?

>>1662631
RCT3 has them, but only to 90 degrees.

does anyone here have a let's play rct video series with commentary where you build pretty shit? I'd watch that

>>1662684
I'm guessing the cars are modeled in a 3D program. It wouldn't be too complicated to automate a lot of of the sprite generation from different angles, etc.

>>1662684
More space efficient, sure, but you have to do the computation of 3d geometry, which is nowhere near worth the memory tradeoff.

>>1662689
I do RCT on my Twitch channel, and there's a few Youtube videos made by /vr/ folks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iD4nk9AMOw

>>1662689
There's a streamer on Twitch called MonotoneTim.
He's the kind of person that blows the entire loan on one coaster then wonders why he still doesn't have enough money to finish it.

Thinking of what to add to these areas. What do you guys think?
Red Circle: A smaller flat ride.
Blue circle: An actual rollercoaster or themed section.
>>1662734
I bet he is confused why his coasters are ultra-extreme intensity, too, right?

>>1662743
They're honestly not too bad. If you don't compare it to the good coasters.

He made a North Korea themed park:

Fluxtrans.

>Try openrct2
>says I'm missing openrct2.dll
Wh-what?

i finally made a, IMO, a decent looking, sort of compact woodie. wish i could have gotten the excitement a bit higher, but oh well.

>>1662743
>Red Circle: A smaller flat ride.
Monster truck ride

>Blue circle: An actual rollercoaster or themed section.
Uh, a kiddie rollercoaster?

>>1662772
So far this is what I have in the park. It's pretty modest, I'm trying to work my way up in coaster size before I do my usual giant hyper-twisters.

>>1662770
>>1662775
I like it. Compact and cute.

Sidenote: Is it actually possible to get the excitement rating surpass intensity on a woodie? I've never managed to pull it out.

>>1662483
I tried. I can't get the excitement up for this coaster type. They can't go high, they can't go fast, they have no track elements that are good, they can crash if somehow too fast, turns can't be banked,...

I guess a good thing is that they have low nausea.

>>1662794
Side friction coasters were one of the first rollercoaster types, back before they even had up-stop wheels. I guess they need to be build into a mountain or something for real excitement.

>>1662792
I've only seen it done with lots of scenery.

r8 my hyper twister turnaround

no supports yet, also despite trying to build it lightly it still has a 9.0 excitement rating because these coasters are OP

>>1662836
2sharp4me

I suggest getting rid of what I highlighted in red and replace with the yellow line

>>1662843
that looks much better actually and might actually reduce this excitement, which is too damn high, I'll give it a go

I just enjoyed the novelty of both hills coming down together I build a lot of wood coasters

>>1662847
>reduce this excitement, which is too damn high,
what

>>1662836
I like how it twists in on itself. Stats?

>>1662404
Perfect balance of challenge and fun.

Rate my Mine Ride.

>>1662853
I am beginning to feel guilt over my actions. The game calculates hyper twisters and gigas so highly that the unholy mix of speed and jewery is too much. I feel sorry for the peeps, for they are so easily taken advantage of. I just want like a high 7 or an 8, but it never happens.

>>1662854
I'm going to be nerfing it heavily in terms of length, and probably changing that knot as per the suggestion here to also reduce the excitement some. I'm also trying to make this park all twister of some kind, so I could build this back up to be the big one in terms of excitement later, but right now it is my entrance coaster, and if it shines too much nobody goes to my other one.

>>1662870
>wanting to reduce the excitement

>>1662876
I have jewed too much

This is a game I have played since I was 11 or so, the weight of the shekels I have scammed off of peeps has overcome me, I just want to give people a park where they have fun, but I am not taking all of their money away with ease and glee. Also I figured an all twister-coaster-of-some-kind park would be more interesting if I wasn't abusing the excitement.

>>1662775
oh yeah, i forgot to mention that with this coaster something inside my brain clicked and i finally made good use of block brakes. I can get 4 trains going with only occasional stopping, and when it does its never more than a second or two.

i was almost embarrassed at how stoked i was when i figured it out, in hindsight its not very hard lol

good good

>>1662906
Are you the crazy bastard that's trying to level an entire park?

>>1662938
>"crazy"
the rock knows all
the rock must be destroyed

I don't know if I can come up with a name that's badass enough to fit this coaster.

>>1662982
oooh, i like that building. great colors.

>>1662860

Kinda flat, but not bad. I like the scenery.

>>1662906

Charge $4 for Scamloop and put an ATM right there.

This whole area is a work in progress, but we've hit the $60K per hour plateau.

>>1663028
FUCK I was so focused on solving that bullshit capticha that I forgot to add the image.

>>1663014
unfortunately I don't have an ATM
the scampoles and two scamloops are working quite well though
I'm trying to fix my paths so I can reduce the required staff and make sure my mechanics fix rides quickly

with 1300+ people the overcrowding is a bitch though

>>1663031
I really like the entrance but then you just cramp everything in front of it together. Let it breathe!

>received "safest park" award
the goyim don't even know

>>1663031
Now you see why I only wish to lower the excitement a little, high level jewjitsu like this is too easy with hyper twisters.

I only wish to be freed from the sheckle shackles.

>>1663037
You're right. It was a rush job, I built the whole thing pretty far from the rest of the park. I've moved the concession stands a bit farther off (you can see them on the left side of this screenshot) and I'm going to move the information kiosk and cash machine around a bit until I find something I like.
I'll try to make this area a bit more grand, because this coaster is the highlight attraction of the park right now.

>>1663031
>$15.50

>>1663031
>>1663064
also what scenario are you playing on?

>>1663067
Windy Mountains

>>1663069
what map pack is that in?

>>1663086
Should be in the /v/ pack.

>>1663094
aight thanks m8

>>1662906
How tall do the scampoles go?

>>1663167
they go from -25 to +115 feet (I can't math)
launch speed is 51mph

Today I learned that the wooden coaster trains are just long enough to put alternating short turn + lift hill to get a helixal lift hill kind of dealy

>>1663171
Thanks broseph.

>>1663031
10/10 name, there better be a Fusion Flare somewhere in the park. Also, how do you get away with charging that much? I usually set the entry price to equal the excitement value.

>>1663172

I'd seen that occasionally on steel coasters, but not on wooden ones. i'm going to try that next time I need a compact coaster.

yeah this game was really cool, nan.

>>1663180
The only problem with scampoles is that you need to hire several handymen to manage the exit paths or you end up with a park that should be called "puke peak"

>>1663189
>a park that should be called "puke peak"
Great scenario idea. Make it happen.

>>1663195
only ride is scampoles, twists, space rings, and other high-nausea rides

lots of food

what should the objective be?

>>1663195
Already a scenario sorta like that, it's called Vomit Lake

>>1663202
Maintaining a certain park rating? Also guests need a low nausea tolerance.

>>1663206
Well shit. It's hard to keep track of all the /v/+ scenarios.

>>1663209
Working on Vomit Lake right now, I need a handyman and security guard every 8 tiles or so

rock pls go

>>1663251
For what purpose again?

>>1663180
Novelty sells. The park has reached a point where a new, large coaster will draw huge crowds. I lowered the price after the first couple of months, of course.

I'm having an issue in rct2 where my peeps get stuck when they're about to enter a ride and hold the line up. it's an elevated station platform. I had the same issue once in rct1 where the platform was above water. Any ideas?

>>1663251
I hope you're keeping track of how much this costs.

>>1663262
I wish I was
Does the savegame editor allow you to change how much money you have?

someone could give themselves a few million and have at it

>>1663302
8cars does. I'd do it but I'm not a madman.

>>1663262
>>1663302
It's about 500 thousand dollars.
Have fun with that.

>>1663306
>>1663302
Welp.

>>1663314

you are an hero to us all

>>1663314
Godspeed.

>>1663314
You some kinda masochist?

>>1663335
>not changing the earth tone to sand

>>1663335

Which map is that? The only one I could find like that had two giant rocks and a bunch of coasters on it.

>>1663337
That'll cost you an extra 10K.

>>1663335
at least you made $42

>>1662775
Pretty cool, can you upload it so I can take a closer look at this? Or throw some shots up of diff angles.

>>1663335
Now build a park on it faggot

I got an idea from all this jewing, how about we have a contest for the best scam park

>>1663354
http://www.mediafire.com/download/8i65f3074j1sp8h/Fooly+Cooly.TD6

heres hoping i can use mediafire correctly.

i would love some critical feedback if you can. these /vr/ct threads have helped improved my coaster making skills greatly, but i always want to do better.

>>1663373

If somebody makes it I'll definitely compete.

>>1663373
>implying people won't just min-max with corkscrew coasters and motion sims

>>1663385
Make everyone use stand-up coasters only.

No side attractions like bumper carts.

>>1663385

/vr/ official goyim tier list:

1. scamkarts
2. scamloops
3. scampoles
4. Wii motionscam
5. ???

>>1663389
well if we can only use stand up's, the contest might as well be "design the best stand up you can" maybe throw in that swinging bullshit type of coaster.

>>1663389
>Make everyone use stand-up coasters only.

the horror

>>1663389

No fuck that, any and all jewing strategies allowed.

Judged in several categories:

Financial Gain
Creativity
Aesthetics & Comedic Value
Efficiency

>>1663394
gigascams

>>1663427
What's a gigascam?

>>1663389
Why not do something like putting a lower limit to the price on each attraction, so that only the richest goyim may be in the park?

Does anyone have a custom scenario with all the rollercoasters and unlimited cash?


I was working on one but RCT2 crashed.

I'd prefer a flat landscape

I think I might break my one rule...I need more money to kill the rock.

Charging for the bathrooms
I'm sorry

>>1663502
Lunatim has one, workbenchland or something.

>>1663508
When I was a kid this was the first thing I did to make money.
>This is such a good idea

>>1663508
>Charging for the bathrooms
No John, you are the rocks.

Now we must landscape you.

>>1663515
It's not an obsession
it's a conquest
i must do it
it must be done

>ride is at $0.10
>"I'm not paying that much to go on ride"

oy vey

Just read the following in a scenario design guide.

>"In scenarios that don't use money, difficult terrain is a pseudo-limitation. It's very easy to flatten the land, and it doesn't cost anything. When I played Lucky Lake it soon became Lucky Landfill. Extreme Heights became Extremely Flat."

Guys, my sides have just suffered a catastrophic station brakes failure.

>>1663551
whoever wrote that is gross. i make an exception for the guy ITT though. he clearly needs the rock gone and i support him fully.

>>1663551
>taking the fun out of a scenario

>>1663560
Your support is greatly appreciated
If you could wire me a few shekels it would support the cause
It should be only a few hundred thousand more

the surgeon is inspired

As much as they want to, THEY CANNOT GET OFF THE RIDE. They are drawn to it like moths to a candle

THE RIDES WILL CONSUME YOU OR THE ROCK WILL

>>1663602
>Scampole 4 is really good value
Time to crank up the price.

>>1663612
No my friend, the secret to the scampole is that they do not even know what is happening to their money until it is too late

Why are you guys so antisemitic?

>>1663624
stop it. cant we keep this area of 4chan nice?

>>1663624

>>1663394
You forgot Scamboats, arguably the #1.

>>1663891
Indeed they are.

>>1663508
Nigger please

>>1663915
Except that nobody else will ever use them, since you refuse for some weird reason to ever share the design.

I still never understood why.

>>1663915
I'm sorry, what?

>>1663925
Last year he made a quad splashboat design that can also be inverted for a row of 8 splashboats in a row all with something like 11 or 12 excitement, that he was able to charge $20 for entry to. Basically so he could beat an unbeatable scenario.

For reasons I cannot figure out though, he's always refused to share the designs for it with the weakest justification imaginable. I'd very much like to look at the designs for it so I can deconstruct it and learn from them what sort of things he did to achieve it and improve my own ride designs as a result. Not much I can do about it though, he doesn't want to share them because people might use them if he did(???)

>>1663927
Oh shit, I remember you now.

I had a change of heart so here you go:

>no Scammaze

Cheapest and smallest of them all, can be placed around corners or along a path or in a small cluster, will never break, requires no queue line

>>1663172

whoa, didn't know you could do this on woodies, noted

>>1663932
Doesn't beat Shitlog but atleast it works for anyone and isn't based on a already fixed bug.

>>1663950
so how much are they willing to pay for 665 excitement?

>>1663953
Well 20$ is max and they still think its good value.

>>1663172
>>1663947
It's how I managed to do this coaster design in a 5x21 footprint.

>>1663950
655? is that some kind of weird bug with the coaster or does that spin piece just have stupid high excite for some reason?

>>1663648
What's a Holocaust Blizzard? That sounds like the worst natural disaster there is.

>>1663985
Old bug that is fixed in most versions. I think some other coaster had this as well.

My first few test coasters aren't off to a terribly rolicking start, but I thought they at least looked nice

I got some pretty hilarious results when I tried making the coaster mostly out of turns (4s and 3s across the board)

ill learn this shit eventually

>>1663986
oh you

So I haven't played this game since I was 10, but I decided to pick it up again. This is the fruit of an hour of hard labour.

>>1664021
Too tall. Aim for 20m or less on a woodie.

After marveling over it for 15 minutes or so, I think what surprises me the most is that the four tiers are all one ride.

I've gone a year now assuming that each layer was an individual ride.
What kind of twisted genius could come up with something like this?

>>1664035
I'll post this one more time, just for you.

>>1664035
>twisted genius
I independently discovered the two effects necessary for it (multistation takes stats from the entire ride and water rides scale ridiculously with length), but never thought to combine them for scam purposes.

>>1663950
>11.3 on a fucking water ride
how?

>>1664121
Magic, wizards and multiple stations.
Also shit sucks being stuck on a kindle with no laptop to play some RCT2, just stuck reading this thread.

>>1664121
Splash boats get ridiculous excitement ratings from large drops. I got one up to 13, I think, but it was over ten minutes long. It's a shame their lift hills are so incredibly slow.

here is a random thought i just had, if any openRCT peeps are around. different umbrella colors. thats all. ive got a spooky park going and peeps need black umbrellas to go along with their balloons and hats.

>>1664272

COLOURED. MAPS.

>>1664305
Obtainable shops. I want mine all bright yellow.

More serious though, changeable flat ride "vehicles/tracks" so we don't end up with an expansion pack problem of 1000 versions of the twist taking up my thrill ride section.

>>1664323
Fuck auto correct. Paintable shops not obtainable.

Postin muh park

I turned what was once a single long track into 2 and it actually only gained 0.3 excitement more. That's kinda disappointing for all that work.

>>1664538
A shame the game has no level railroad crossings.

>>1664568
You could just 8cars it, although guests will still continue to walk through even when there's a train.

I remember the first time I noticed the cursor changed when I moused over the ducks. I thought it would give me a window or something when I clicked, but it just quacked.

>>1665141
I always liked doing what I'd call Re-Education Facilities. I raised some land really high and put free fries, cheap drinks and expensive toilets in this plaza. I'd also put about twelve entertainers there.

Every now and then I'd find the unhappiest saps in the park, drag them up there, and keep them there for a while. Eventually they'd get hungry, eat free fries, be happy, drink cheap soda, get happier, and then refuse to use the toilet because it cost about 50 bucks.

When they were completely unhappy again, I'd move them to a second raised area that had the most intense steel coaster I could possibly design, its entrance on the second raised area and its exit in the farthest reaches of the park I could manage while still allowing eventual exit.

Any peep who didn't pay the rest of their money (the price was tailored to each peep in residence) to leave after 6 months was placed in The Pit, which was the opposite of raised areas. This area had no facilities, benches or paved areas, and about 20 entertainers. They would die there.

Jesus Christ I was fucked up as a child.

>>1665169
You wouldn't happen to be this guy would you?

>>1665169
I'm very impressed by the thought you put into it.
Didn't you ever think about becoming a supervillian?

>>1665176
No, that's not me.

RCT really brought out the evil side in children, what the fuck. It's like worse than what overprotective soccer moms thought FPS games would do to their kids.

I wonder if RCT saved the world by giving sadistic children an outlet for their true aggression.

>>1665193
I've been playing RCT for 15 years and have never killed anyone, so it must be working.

I built the original thinking it had longer trains and would carry more momentum like a Twister, since I'd never really built a Vertical Drop Coaster before. Long story short, I had to add the steep lift hill segment after the fact because the coaster stalled at the exact top of the second high drop after the loop, so I had to elevate it and make some ugly alterations to the underground segment which included some more a steeper return to horizontal from vertical. I really liked the loop over the pathway and the Vertical Drop through the Helix so those were the elements of the design I made sure to keep.

I figured it'd be too many Gs and that I'd have to delete and redesign. Anyway, I ran the test, and everything turned out better than expected.

>>1665186
>>1665176
>>1665169

I'd do stuff like that too, but my personal favorite was herding everybody from one of the 6 Flags Parks into a single area over water via "No Entry Signs" and the only options were getting on one of 8 synched launched looping coasters to their deaths, that would only launch when all were full...or waiting there until I deleted all the pathways and drowing.

Sometimes I'd build like targets in the distance and play Roller Coaster Skee-ball with fully loaded trains.

>>1665186
I went on an inventive bad guy kick years and years ago. Traps and shit, "terrorizing" the neighborhood kids, it all evolved into a kid's version of JLA or something. It was actually pretty neat, and I have some fond memories of it.

One thing I liked to do was punishing peeps who walked around with full pockets complaining about the park. My parks usually had something for everyone, so when someone walked around with a fat wallet saying "X looks too intense for me!" "I want to go on something more exciting than Y..." I would look at their stats and design a perfect coaster for them.

The first ride was free; if they went elsewhere they were allowed to go free.

However, if they went back to the ride, I dragged them to an island and kept them there. I occasionally dropped them into the water and rescuing them before they drowned. I would then redesign the coaster and lock access to it, and place the peep by the queue.

Eventually, because they loved the ride, they would get on it, but the redesign always removed key pieces of track. Often, there would be proper twists and turns, etc, but the end of the ride always had a long stretch of accelerators ending in a ramp that led the car to fly off onto the park's most densely populated path.

>>1665229
Oh, the second ride always cost them every cent in their pockets, by the way. No need to waste good shekels.

>>1665215
The point of a vertical drop coaster is the vertical drops. Try not to abuse those steep-to-level transitions too much, they're probably why you've got so many tough forces. Treat it more like a small, compact hyper-twister than a regular twister.

>>1665235

Yeah the first build of the coaster didn't have the steep to level transition after the big drop underground, but I ended up having to raise the lift hill and that changed the height on the drop pieces, forcing me to use it. I'm just glad it's still not too intense.

Curious here, who here does or doesn't shut down their computer then they go to bed? Because apparently, my RCT2 will only work for a few days, then stop opening altogether after that. So if I want to play it I have to restart my computer.
And yes, I tried changing the compatibility and it still didn't work.

>>1665267
I restart on average a single digit number of times per year, something Atomik may be able to confirm by my uptime on Skype.

>>1665267
Just leave your game up and running. I think it's a fun challenge to see if a park can sustain itself for that long.

>>1665267
Just like >>1665275 I restart only when I need to, when I go out or go to sleep I hibernate the machine. RCT1 luckily has no issues with that, unlike, say, far more modern civ 5.

I'm still amazed by how this game was written. Must be the only piece of software I never had any problems running on any pc.

>>1664124
maybe ORCT2 can be ported to .apk somehow, thatd be cool

>>1665267
I'm about the same as everybody else here, except that we have a terrible power company here and usually the power going out is what causes the computer to turn off, doesn't do the psu and mobo too good

You guys are surprisingly evil. Why don't you just make a park that's fun and enjoyable for your guests?

>>1665398
I do, and then once it's packed I turn every ride into a deathtrap that lands in busy walkways

>>1665398
M-muh sheckels.

>>1665398
The funny thing is that people in-game like those jew parks a lot more than a park that is 90% scenery with maybe 3 coasters somewhere.

>>1665398
There's plenty of time for that.

I bet it's the same guy that wanted to lower his excitement ratings. Buncha plebs, I swear

Newfag here, how do I get into RCT?

>>1665440
You want MORE nausea?

That makes no sense.

>>1665451

>>1665451
Get RCT2 (and 1 if you want) from GOG or torrent the triple thrill pack.
Then download the /v/ pack of scenarios and put it in the scenarios folder. Same with the RCT1 map recreations.

>>1665445
>>1665450
>>1665458
What's wrong with some nausea? It's an essential part of any good ride.

>>1665464
No, Intensity is an essential part of any good ride. Nausea is the side-effect of intensity.

>>1665464
Nigga wut
Intensity and fear are important. Nausea just makes you feel shitty.

>>1665464
Well of course you need SOME nausea for a decent ride, but like >>1665472 said, you need intensity more than nausea.
You just need the perfect coaster with E>I>N ratings

You asked for this

This is the future you chose

on top of that entry fee, all the surrounding food stalls are overpriced compared to the rest of the park, and the bathroom nearby costs 50 cents to use.

The dreamcast one was amazing, each level gave you goals you had to meet of g forces etc. You had to ride and make sure it could even make it to the finish. I played the shit out of that game, even more than RCT. I also played the sim themepark roller coaster but for pc. It was pretty much sim themepark 2. I beat it but i'm not entirely sure if i liked it.

There's a mechanism built in to inform them that you've moved should a jury summons arrive. It's technically meant for whoever lives where you used to, but if youre moving before the date, theres no reason you cant do it yourself.

Which is better?

Looks like the OpenRCT2 git isn't broken right now. Time to get back into this game again. And at native resolution, fuck yeah.

>>1665984
What am I looking at

>>1665992
>>1665989
Dark Ages - Robin Hood scenario. No I didn't build it, I just opened the scenario.

(I'm using the GOG download, so it includes all the expansions for the game)

>>1666000
Hold on... I meant did you build the OpenRCT binary.

>>1666007
If they're talking about git, they probably built it from source.

>>1666007
Yes

>>1665989
>>1665992
>>1666007
>>1666016
>>1666023
Yeah. It's super easy to build if you have visual studio 2012 or 2013 installed. I'll provide the binary, but you need to make sure you have RCT2 installed in one of these places (if it's not in one of those, reinstall it to one of these places).

OpenRCT2 (git commit 702) download link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/psixi2qjotatvnz/OpenRCT2-702.zip

Just drop the files from the zip inside your RCT2 folder and start openrct2.exe. Again, RCT2 must be installed in one of the above locations (assuming it still crashes if it's not in one of those, I haven't tried it on the absolute latest build). A custom config file will be automatically created in My Documents/OpenRCT2 (ideally this should be created regardless of whether or not RCT2 is in one of those locations so that you can change the game directory, but it crashed last time I tried, which was quite a few commits ago)

There are still some minor issues. Sound can cut out sometimes, at least for me, and I managed to crash it once. Make sure you remember to save your game often, just in case.

>>1666047
Actually, it looks like there's quite a few bugs regarding money and certain sounds effects at the moment.

By money I mean that I can't seem to actually spend any money. Things just build without subtracting from my pool of money... odd.

By sound effect, I mean that clicking and spending sound effects are non-existent.

It will be fixed eventually.

>>1666295
I've already modelled my white looping coaster after my favorite Togo rides. Maybe I could do that...

another "wouldnt this be cool in openrct2" post.

What would you guys think about "realistic" conditions, such as winds at higher altitudes that might affect how coasters run slightly if the cars are going into the wind, or rain making coasters wear down faster (if it doesn't already..?)

>>1666392
Maybe if we wanted a "hard-mode" where the game has more realistic and difficult conditions.

>>1666395

>>1665656
god. it sounds like they're slaughtering pigs

I have a small challenge, which if I'm right for the people of this general would be very difficult:

Play the Dark Age - Robin Hood scenario (first scenario of RCT2), then see how long and how many rides etc you can go WITHOUT winning the scenario?

You win, you lose.

I just broke even on Lunaland. Repairing rides is a problem though.

>>1666576
HA HA

TIME FOR SAVED GAME MODIFIER

>>1666576
Lunaland is hardcore. Keep us posted on how pr0 your park is!

i thought this would be a cool setup even though i dont gain anything from it. unfortunately i dont know of a way to sync the 2 =/

Synchronized coasters really bump the excitement up about 0.5 to 1 point

>>1666592
I'm not gonna finish it. I just wanted to see if guestkilling is a working strategy for pay per entry parks. I thing it is only usefull with rides like minigolf.
