They're more or less the same company. CCI dissolved and the employees of it went on to found the Gravity Group.

rate my racing coasters

they're named Mountain Dew and Doritos, Mountain Dew has Code Red and Baja Blast trains, Doritos has Nacho Cheese and Cool Ranch trains

>>1677834
>those names & trains
pfff goddammit

>>1677645
Additions/changes:

Huss should be in god tier, S&S should be in breddy gud, PTC deserves respect and admiration, Vekoma should be in bad tier, Dinn should be in bad tier, and TOGO just deserves a special place in hell.

>>1677834
oh god no

I just closed Doritos to adjust its brake speed so I could make it get into the station as the same time as mountain dew, and my game just crashed.

I didn't save. The twins have been lost.

RIP, sweet maymay coasters

>>1677823
Pretty much the same company but GG coasters definitely ride differently. Aside from a select few like Boulder Dash, CCI coasters have aged pretty badly and are really rough now. GG coasters don't age as well as GCIs but they're still pretty good.

Also posting a CCI inspired woodie

>>1677854
>food stalls not even five spaces from a nauseating ride
Well, it wasn't too big a loss.

>>1677860
Admittedly, my park layout skills are lacking. Never got hardcore into this game, so I don't really know all the best ways to do shit.

>>1677854
you have pictures, you can rebuild them

also, lost it laughing at the cool ranch train

>>1677857
That's a pretty cool coaster. I really wish woodies got the steep-to-level transitions that twisters, gigas, and hypers all got.

>>1677976
They natively handle the animation, so it should be pretty easy to add under OpenRCT.

>>1677645
Yoiu deserve that, Vekoma.

I wish the stats were better, but breddy fine looking it is.

>>1678161
Where da loop at?

>>1678170
Where ya brains at?

>>1678161
oh god collor the supports at the lifthill and rollback white pls.

>>1678191
no.

Rani Goldstein approves of this coaster. I don't know why this isn't low.

>>1678259
>banked turn directlya after lifthill
why?

>>1678263
Looks nicer. I wanted to put a small downward helix there first, but for some reason, the coaster will only have 2.xx excitement if i do that. That 1.5 meters difference really must give people a kick.

>>1678275
I'm surprised it manages -.88g without some speed over the drop.

>>1678275
Final form.

Turns out that using normal turns somehow gives it 0.02 excitement more. You'd think that being leaned would be more exciting than going around a normal turn very slowly.

I have an idea for activity. Let's post some roller coasters we made and other people rate them by giving them a company name that they think would make it.

I'll start by posting my favorite woodie.

>>1678421

>>1677834

10/10 Theming

In addition to locating the stalls further away like BlueBalled said, I would've made the pathways for Doritos a bit different so that they didn't go over the entrance.

>>1678421
GCI/10

Dewritos anon here, I found out my game is crashing whenever I close a ride that's synced to an adjacent station.

Any idea what's going on? Is this a common bug that I don't know about because I didn't read some FAQ somewhere?

>>1677602
I like the look of that coaster.

My friend just met Chris Sawyer. Lucky bastard

>>1678787
The horse pornography drawer? Man, he must be lucky

/s

>>1678662
Yesh. Sync'd stations bug the game out hard.

>>1678787
I always thought Chris would be a pretty cool guy to meet

any idea on how he was?

>>1678813
dammit

this saddens me

>>1678302
There's a time and a place for banked turns, and it's not after a lift hill.
>>1678662
Have you tried pausing before closing the ride? Maybe that'll help. We'll figure something out.

>>1678421

>>1679185
Yeah, that seems to be the case.

>>1679339

>>1678787
How the fuck?

He's a professional recluse now isn't he?

>>1678421

It doesn't loop directly after the big hill, by the way.

>>1679447
Ah, so it kind of scoots around the loop, then doubles back for it, sort of like Son of Beast did.

I've no idea about companies.. Who made all the old crusty ones?

>>1679450

Well, it doubles around the main section of the track once, going through a complete 360 helix under the main hill before hitting the photo section and THEN coming in for the loop, usually as the other train is going up the lift hill at the same time.

>>1679471

>>1679471

It's time to be hated.

Anyone got better stats without schenery and landscaping?

>>1680138
Didn't that one guy manage an 8.5 or something by doing a duelling coaster with it?

my first attempt at making a station building, this took a lot longer than designing the corresponding coaster but i'm pretty happy with it

>>1680225

I like it!

>>1680225
Holy crap that's nice.

I wonder if I can ask my questions in this thread but:

I am primarily enjoying RCT3 but I noticed it has a slew of disadvantages over RCT2, mainly the apparent decoration magic(?) and the pictured problem.

Does anyone have a number of tips or tools that could improve or solve the problems listed?
Or should I just play RCT2 instead.

>>1680241

just play rct2

>>1679923
This is the most recent photo I can find of him, but its from 2004 so who knows what he looks like now.

>>1678421
R8 me.

>>1680487
Are those two different coasters put together at the corkscrew?

Made this at midnight yesterday.

>>1680632
maybe change the last part of the ride, or add scenery to that part.

>>1680632
Cute little mine train.

>>1680608
One of them is powered launched mode.

>>1680138
I've found less inversions to be better, for these I've come to see that if I keep to one inversion and drag out the ride length with wide turns and less drops than usual the results can be pretty alright. Granted I still needed to scenery bomb this but it was almost at 7 on its own.

>>1680171
Anyone have the image of this?

>>1680225
Shit nigga you fancy.

>>1680632
The end part needs scenery to mask the supports, but other than that it's breddy gub.

>>1680789
It was about 2 threads back, search for me saying something like "the TOGO standup challenge" to find the right thread in the archive.

Finally got around to sending off the collab park to Hemicentetes.

Skip him, move onto the next guy.

We're waiting on him for the no borders collab park but the guy hasn't shown up in Skype for over a week now.

>>1680929
He's last on the list.

>>1680936
Then he requires replacing or the park will die.

Only reason he hasn't been replaced on the no borders yet is because posterfig who's up next, is busy atm.

>>1680937
Just like it died with scj and throwrug?

>>1680943
Exactly.

Will you step up to replace him?

>>1681609
4.5 is uncomfortable at most, but it's safe as long as you aren't exposed to forces of that magnitude for hours on end.

Peeps don't see cable cars, elevators and trams as a means of transport to a location, but just as a ride, do they? Would it be possible to mod that if OpenRCT is released?

Is using scenery for your rides useful?
Beyond what the level already has and I haven't had to delete in order to fit my track / ride in I've literally never bothered with scenery before. How much does scenery add to a ride? Are there certain hotspots for it or can you just dump trees or whatever anywhere and gain the same benefit? Does keeping a theme give a greater benefit than changing up between them (even if they fit visually)?

>>1681992
Scenery can add as much as a point of excitement to roller coasters. Potentially more for flat rides. For tracked rides, place anywhere enar track. For flat rides, within five squares of the placement arrow. Scenery item doesnt matter; you can shit the same bush in a dense mat.

I dunno... but I kinda like RCT3's coastercam despite the fact RCT2 has much more possibilities in scenery and all. It gives the feeling that you can make rides a lot better in terms of experience by giving it your own opinion. Although you can't go farther than a few walls and trees as shown in this picture. and pretty much no functionality for rooftops and whatever without raising the ground; which is a botched system as well.

Kind of a dilemma here actually, I like RCT3's focus on the rides, but RCT2 is better in scenery and everything.

Maybe I should just swallow the chunk and get over it.

>>1682020
Slightly better view of the coasters...

At least they're a good way of training how to build great ones.

>>1682020
>>1682027
I won't lie, that looks pretty nice.
I would probably play RCT3 a lot more if it wasn't for the consistently godawful framerate.

>>1682020
>no functionality for rooftops and whatever without raising the ground

RCT3 tas loads of custom scenery and you can use everyting at once.

>>1682020

>>1682030
It runs on a solid amount of FPS for me, not sure if 30 or whatever.

>>1682031
I know, but unfortunately I could never get it to work the way I thought, I cannot make covered segments for instance without the selection clipping into the ride.

I tried recreating pic related for instance but I could not get walls to stack up nor roofs to properly work.
It may be that I am doing something wrong here though.

>>1681127
>>1681154

yup, that seems to be him.

>>1682052
>solid amount of FPS

I'll bump the thread with a small request for a better name.
I'm not really following a theme but I'm improving my previous park by adding missing things and a better lay-out management.

Decided to improve a previous project by trying this, but I think I need a better name for this one.

I'm not really following a theme either.

That was a fun park. I think I might keep playing and see where it goes.

>>1682737
but the one you have labeled "TOGO Terror" is a Schwartzkopf

>>1682761
Togo also made looping coasters, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUsGEu0DTCo
Some of these coaster designs in RCT2 could be one of a few manufacturers, sort of like how wooden coasters were made by many manufacturers.

>>1682770
I'd say the corkscrew coaster is more accurate for TOGO, both in train and track style.

Got the email, gonna work on that bitch.

Question before I get started, are trainers allowed in collab parks or is that a no go?

>>1682920
It depends on what you'd use it for, I guess. Just as long as you don't fuck up the entire thing, we're lenient with that stuff. Many people often eliminate the debt via save modifiers. Me, I'm entirely vanilla, I don't fuck with much outside of the game, when it comes to collabs.

>>1682920
I use 8cars at the end of any collab park I do to refresh the rides etc, just so everything isn't breaking down every 2 minutes.

It's fine, just don't break everything.

>>1682940
Any 8carsing done will be kept entirely in my park bounds. I also assume it's up to me to finish the collab hyper twister?

this may have been talked about all ready, but do we think different employee types could be implemented in OpenRCT? like maintenance men to go around and fix all the shit people break, or mobile cotton candy salesmen

Granted i know that if i git gud and keep my peeps happy and/or scare them with a heavy police force, maintenance men would be redundant.

>>1682951
Assuming it hasn't already been finished, yeah.

>>1682953
I always wished you could set your staff's salary. That way they could underperform or even go on strike if the pay was bad, or you could have them work at maximum efficiency at a higher cost.

>>1682951

Ahahaha.

I agree that the looping coaster fits schwarzkopf better. It's too smooth for togo.

i made a park using the contest map from a few threads back (i would have entered the contest, but i had finals). this was pretty fun, beforehand the only thing in the game i ever really put a lot of time and effort into was building coasters

>>1683142
>Hay Fever: the park
But seriously, that's gorgeous.

>>1683142
Oh, you're the guy with the pretty station house with the clever windows!

I like the comfy looking jr coaster over the maze. I think you found a good use for the "tent" style ride entrances as well. The flowers make me feel like I'm in holland or something. The big black woody might be a little too much for me, though. All those banked loops meandering around are well designed I guess, but the thing is just so dense compared to the rest of the park.

>>1683172
>The big black woody might be a little too much for me

>>1683054
Looping coaster vehicles resemble Schwarzkopf vehicles almost perfectly. Other coaster types like Corkscrews are a little trickier.

>>1683179
That's a pretty coaster train.

>>1683179
Corkscrews are almost certainly based off of Arrow coasters.

>>1683172

yeah i can definitely see that, it was the first thing i built in the park so i didn't really know what was going to do after that, if i could i'd probably spread the track out and raise the hill at the front of the park so the supports hug the ground more closely (i really like the way wooden supports look, but they're still a bit too far above the treeline for me here)

>>1683142
Stats on that wooden coaster?

>>1683192
The part in the back looks good, if maybe a little high off the ground as you said, but it's the front part snaking over the water that was concerning me more. The way it plays with the paths and the other rides and buildings seems more suited to a sleeker coaster type...but maybe that just comes down to a matter of opinion. I'll wait and see what others think I guess.

>>1683195

i'm not great at names

>>1682953
Ride operators. They would provide a passive boost to reliability and could mitigate and even fix certain breakdowns. Things like safety cut-outs could be repaired automatically by an operator, and things like restraint breakdowns (i.e. some automatic part doesn't work) could have a temporary fix (operator manually opens restraints) until the mechanic fixes it for good.

Neither is Six Flags.

>>1683190
Ah, but does not vekoma create similar corkscrews?

In the grand scheme of things, some Arrow corkscrews have midtrain vehicles with the rounded front, like the one seen in the RCT series, so I think it's more or less an Arrow Coaster, like you said.

Captcha: oryecr curves

>>1683197
>ten fucking excitement
>on a woodie

>>1683215
I guess this is part of why coaster manufacturers were omitted from RCT. Chris Sawyer and the team simply called it a corkscrew roller coaster.

>>1683197
Just use various literary devices like puns, portmanteaus and alliterations and you'll have smashing names in no time.

Besides, Lumberjack is a fine name.

>>1683224
Yeah, it's more likely than you'd think. I've seen a few 9.5+ woodies. This one might be one of my favorites. It fits the bill for a twisted woodie, with tons of turns, and it sort of snakes around itself and other rides.

>>1683224
>Stubbed Grover
Dude that's Bert. Am I being "trolled" or something?

Anyone have that coaster excitement guide picture?

Dumb question.

Where do I put the DLL files for windowed mode

>>1683272
in the RCT directory

>>1683272
Right in the folder with the executable.

For anyone curious about what I'd be doing with 8cars, something like this was all I had in mind. Might try and make the station and entrance huts invisible after designing the station building.

>>1683228
>woodies

>>1683307
nice man, well done.

>>1683312
thanks. its hard, took me hours, only broke 10 when i blasted it with scenery

So I started up on a RCT contest going on in /r/rollercoastercontests and since the main attraction for this month was supposed to be wooden, I decided to go for a large generic wooden roller coaster.

It didn't turn out generic, but whatever. Rate this shit.

>>1683286
Goliath is a fine name, just not when you use if 50 million of your coasters.

>>1683286
Let's be fair, they have at least 10 batman: The Rides.

>trying to widen a pathway down the length of my entire park

Caltrans doesn't know shit about detour management

I had an idea for openRTC. Switch tracks, sensors, and programmable ride elements like boosters.

I want to create cool stuff like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCH55433lbI if it's possible.

>>1683281
the tracks don't even line up though

are there any triple dueling coasters like this one in real life? i think i would like to build a triple dueling coaster and i want some more inspiration

>>1683574
Blackpool Pleasure Beach's steeplechase is three tracks.

Do you guys have favorite trees/flowers you use to line pathways? I'm trying to up my scenery game

>>1683590
I always go with tulips around my scramblers and match the colors of the flowers to the ride.

>ride broken: restraints stuck open
>ride left the station anyway

What type of game are you playing at Chris?

>>1683574
To this day, still one of greatest duelling coasters ever made in RCT.

>>1682045

I'm in. Do I have to have a trip or join any groups to participate?

>>1683732
Add yourself to a slot on the Collab park google doc. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhGqM6X4U4_MdEVFYU83ZGVwRm9DVno0ZWdXbUkwRkE#gid=0

>My Sides has broken down

>>1683142
I like it, more of this

>>1683404
Coaster itself is looking pretty cool. I like the pathway through the loop, I don't like the big square of lowered land. I don't know if that's part of the contest but I'd make something more subtle out of that.

>>1682852
>dat fanny pack

oh chris

started playing again, one hour later

not sure about the coaster yet, it kinda cuts the park in half

also don't look at the paths, I just wanted to connect shit

>>1683904
Just drop a handyman and entertainer there, they stop whining when Pandaman comes around

>>1683906
that is even easier than plopping down one tile of path!

Working on the new collab.
The square size is 31x31 so it takes a while

>>1684037
Good work man,y our game is being stepped up.

>>1683861
That SLC is pretty sexy.

>>1682027
How the fuck did you get good looking trees?
Are they part of the wild pack or something because all the trees I find look like shit so I end up making everything out of concrete

pic related, it's concrete

>>1684141
That park gave me a concussion.

>>1684141
Not him but my custom scenery folder is bigger than the game itself

>>1683884
I'm only slightly evil.

nah it was fixed after the screenshot

>>1683307

>Woodie going through the loop of another roller coaster twice

>>1684141
Under options you should find a checkbox for simple trees or something like that.

>>1684180
That's a woodie going through a woodie loop twice. I don't think that's even possible without modern steel supports.

>>1684141
Dem unsupported coasters.

>>1684141
lol wut gravity

>>1684203
Pretty badass IMO

>>1684141
I cannot write down my reaction, so here is a picture instead.
Also kinda maxed out everything I could find.

>>1684174
Any chance that you could elaborate on this one? Sounds interesting.

decided to redo that new park

Enjoy that disqualification!

>>1684364
Is this a picture for ants?

>>1684348

much better looking IMO, woody supports always give me a an engorged penis. I wish i could into making castles

>>1684367

Reason res is so fucked is because i built this when I was forced to use safe mode which is 640 x 800 default iirc

whats the name of the scenario we used for the contest? the one with all the scenery?

Still working on my square, I'll get it done sometime after the weekend due to wedding plans, but just letting you know I won't rest until this puppy breaks 10 excitement.

>>1684397

>>1684365
Not him, but what's wrong with station flybys?

I see you're putting the new waterfall tiles to good use already.

>>1684549

>>1684565
forcing anyone to test them.
Custom scenery is like a virus. I should have saved a copy of vanilla object data.

Back in the RCT3 business! It's a real change after all these years of RCT2, still figuring out the camera movement and all that. Also RCT3 has a built in Video recording function, how neat is that!

>>1684598
I suppose I should try it. I see a turning dive loop and immelman that arent possible in rct2, along with smooth zero g rolls and an inclined helix. How much freedom does it give in shaping the track?

>>1684549
>blood waterfall
Brutal/10

I really wish there was some kind of beach type scenery like cabanas and palm fronds and margarita glasses so I could make a Jimmy Buffet-esque theme park.

Also, I guess I'm a tripfag now, since I've been here for a while, and signed up for the collab-park thing.

>>1684618
The Extended Coaster has incredible freedom. Almost every part imaginable is there. But it's really the only coaster with this freedom, but that doesn't matter because it can replace coasters like twister-, hyper twister- and corkscrew-coasters.

>>1684549

Do I need to DL any custom scenery to be able to use the park when it's my turn?

>>1684631

Respond pls i want to sleep.

>>1684660
Got it. Go get some rest.

where 2 find screenshots taken with the game's screenshot thing

>>1684703
Right click on your RCT2 (presuming that it's 2) shortcut and click on "properties". After that, click on "Open File Location".

If the screenshots aren't on there, click on "Compatibility Files" on the top and they should appear. If you want to post them you have to drag them into Paint and save them as a .png or .jpg because the screenshots are saved as bitmaps.

>>1684714
You can also save them as .gif without loosing image quality.

>>1684714
aight so I'm playing Bumbly Beach in RCT2 and I'm making a cramped park, but I have no idea what to put in the space inside of the splash boats. I could just put a second empty building there, but two of them together might look dumb.

>>1684729
Food court and smaller flat rides might work.

>>1677687
rode it first year

>>1684736
On top of filling that space, I moved my observation tower and launched freefall into spaces I like more than where they were.

>>1684736
I was under the impression that food courts don't really work in rct

>>1684723
Or just png.

>>1684776
What makes you say that?

Is this good for a tiny junior coaster?

>>1684776

I generally build smaller, varied ones with 2 or 3 food stands and a drink stand to get the maximum profit out of the drink stand. It also helps if they're in gateway areas, between different sections of the park or near major attractions.

>>1684869
It's adorable.

Would ride.

>tfw you make a ride that looks good, fits in a smallish space, and has nice stats

>Put the windowed mode hack into the directory
>Cant get the mouse to stay in screen

-_-

I'm actually almost done with my square somehow. I apologize in advance for going against the whole "COMFORTABLE SQUARES" theme as implied by the name, but I was able to make this happen.

>>1684958
Any idiot can make a twister style coaster good. That's not a mark of skill. Do that with a TOGO and I'll be impressed.

Is this OK looking for a Twister Woodie

Unless anyone sees somewhere else to put a ride (that's not the empty building inside of the woodie) I'm moving on to another scenario.

>>1684996
Could you please tell me what a TOGO is so I can try making one in my next park?

>>1685020
the stand up roller coaster, see >>1680850

>>1685034
alright I'll come back when there's something to show off

>>1685020
TOGO is a ride manufacturer, best known for their rough rides. RCT's basic stand-up coaster is a Togo design.

Also, you can buy construction rights to the beach.
IF THESE COCKSUCKING CAPTICHAS DONT START WORKING I SWEAR TO GOD

>>1685007
Im done for the night. Not feeling Tycoonin

>>1684869
Two laps feels so right for a cute little jr coaster like that. This screenshot is one of those where I can actually imagine standing on the ground in that park.

And to top it all off, you even make a good-faith effort at steeplechase!

>>1685048

Cool.

>>1685064
Your whole park has a fantasy feel to it, I like it a lot. Totally stealing that monorail along the back of the park thing.

R8 this park section.

This is my go at Forest Frontiers.

So far, this is my favorite section, called Frontier Lake.

I need to revamp the entrance and the central path (runs from the bottom middle to the left, and add some minor tweaks to the other side of the park, off-screen past the twist and Virginia Reel.

The top, on the other side of the miniature railroad is where I'm putting an expansive swinging coaster in, since evidently the Mine Coaster isn't in the RCT2 version.

>2300+ guests in my Forest Frontiers
>2 super highways to move them throughout the park
>300 guests complaining about the overcrowding
>20 handymen
>10 mechanics
>10 security guards
>5 entertainers

What can men do against such reckless faggotry?
>park rating getting dragged through the mud

>>1685064

That's a good looking park. Would go to a real life remake.

And as you all can tell, I should have listened to my utilities adviser when he said I would regret cutting back the sanitation budget. Landscaping will be improved when I get mo' money.

>>1685127
>putting the entrance a half mile away from the actual car
Why do you people do this?

other than the park being fuck-ugly and not starting with the wooden rollercoaster, I don't see what would make this park challenging

>>1685118

Here's the other side of the park, nicknamed the Twisted Forest. The major update I'm planning for this area is to delete the TOGO Looping Coaster I plopped down. It was a prebuilt that came with one of the modpacks I've got, and it's pretty meh. I touched up some of the banking and such, but it got the job done for a cheap third coaster early in the game.

The Mini Coaster was custom designed, and I'm really happy with it. The Virginia Reel was plopped, as well.

>>1685124
I may have discovered the problem

>>1685137

I did that and the long queue line for the water rapids just to be a jerk. None of my coasters have that long of a walk.

>>1685145
